《Prodigal System in the Flourishing City》 Chapter 1: The Prodigal Son Goes to War Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Prodigal Son Goes to WarEarn money? Why should I earn money? Earning money is other people''s business. My mission is to squander wealth, enjoy life, and slack off until I die! Hey, you ask how I became the richest person in the world by squandering? How the hell would I know? Quotes from Lu Xiaobu, the prodigal! ... Lu Xiaobu, groggy from sleep, threw his alarm clock, which woke him up, and continued to doze off. "Wait a minute, where the hell is this?" Lu Xiaobu sat up with a jolt, looking around the unfamiliar surroundings and wondered, "I remember getting hit by a car while saving those two naughty kids." S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At this moment, a stream of memories that were not his own flooded into his mind. Eighty percent of the content involved debauchery, and the rest were simple everyday memories. After all, the memories involved only spending money, never earning it, so there was nothing important. In short, three wordsProdigal Son! After a moment, Lu Xiaobu realized he had been reborn into the body of a prodigal son. He suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, this is awesome! This is exactly the life I wanted, the highest realm of life is to squander freely and slack off. Hahaha, good deeds do get rewarded, heaven has eyes!" At that moment, a voice in his mind interrupted his hearty laughter. "Host, you''re awake? Then get ready to start squandering!" "What the hell?" Lu Xiaobu jumped in shock. "Let me introduce myself, I am the Prodigal System. Host, please don''t be surprised, recall the system-based novels you''ve read, and you''ll understand my existence," said the system. Lu Xiaobu: "..." System: "Why isn''t the host talking?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "You''ve said it all, what more can I say? Since I''ve been reborn anyway, having a Golden Finger is normal. Go ahead and introduce it." System: "Prodigal System, of course, is about squandering. Through the amount of squandering, you can do a lottery draw here or purchase things from the store. Spend a million for one lottery draw." Lu Xiaobu: "Aside from the fact that I''ve never even seen a million in my previous life, the rest is simple. Whatever, let''s get the money. I''m going to start squandering right now, I''ve always wanted to try living a life with too much money and nowhere to spend it!" System: "Who are you asking for money? Squandering means asking your family for money, what are you asking me for?" Lu Xiaobu: "Uh... fair point. Based on my memories, it seems my family is quite wealthy. I''m going to start squandering." System: "Given that this is the host''s first time using this system, a beginner task is arranged specifically for you. It''s simple, squander fifty thousand by midnight, reward with one lottery draw chance, no penalties, offer expires after the deadline." "No big deal." Lu Xiaobu smiled nonchalantly. Spending money? That''s nothing. System: "By the way, a reminder for the host, you are in a parallel universe to Earth, called Water Blue Star. Many things will be different here." "ojbk, I''m off to squander. When the prodigal son sets out, not a blade of grass grows. Bathing with company, girls moving on their own, just thinking about it excites me! Hahaha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed and jumped out of bed... "Thud." Lu Xiaobu felt weak and suddenly fell to the ground. Looking down at his body, he was stunned: "Damn, why am I so weak?" System: "Your predecessor exhausted his body completely, and died of debilitation. It''s no wonder you''re weak. Otherwise, for reincarnation to occur, there needs to be a reason, even if it''s good karma." Lu Xiaobu pinched his arm, which didn''t even have two ounces of flesh, and wanted to cry: "How weak can it be! Even if the girls make their moves, this body can''t even handle it." System: "Strength: 28. Speed: 39. Health: 31. Sexual Ability: 25. Note: Normal human index is 100." "Wait, what?!" Lu Xiaobu was fine until he heard the last part. He frantically opened his pants, looked down, and his face fell: "Half a pinky size? Now that''s great, when the girls make their move, it''s not that my body can''t handle it, but that I won''t feel a thing. System, I''m going to kill myself now, send me back, how about that?" System: "Don''t lose heart, you can buy attribute points in the store, one hundred thousand per point. As long as you squander enough, turning your little dink into a towering tree is not a problem." "Bankruptcy! Bankruptcy! This is bankruptcy!" Lu Xiaobu heard the system''s words and immediately got excited again, standing on the ground and wildly waving his fists: "Bankruptcy for the sake of the towering tree!" What he didn''t notice was that not far behind a window, a pair of eyes beautiful like the stars were watching him. After a long time, the struggle in those beautiful eyes turned into disappointment and determination. ... At the Lu Family''s breakfast table downstairs. Lu Family''s eldest, Lu Hongbin, walked to the dining table and sat down: "Dad, the store on the business street signed the contract today, I''m going over to check." "Okay." Mr. Lu nodded: "Let Wenhao go with you, he should help you too." "Hey, I''m not going, I still have to study." Lu Wenhao, the second son of the Lu Family, came over and refused. "You graduated two years ago." Lu Hongbin rolled his eyes. "The sea of learning is boundless; I just got my PhD today." Wenhao boasted while shaking Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu showed a hint of impatience: "You graduated again? How many times are you going to graduate?" Wenhao pouted: "I actually didn''t study that much, just three Bachelor''s degrees, two Master''s degrees, and this is my first Doctorate. I''ve decided, my next goal is to study music." Mr. Lu and Lu Hongbin were instantly speechless. "Brother, our new store is about to open. I''m begging you, come help!" Lu Hongbin said. "No, I want to be a romantic wandering singer." Wenhao said with longing. "Wandering singer? That''s the same as a wandering beggar. If you don''t help your elder brother, what about Xiaobu, that little rascal?" Mr. Lu scolded. "Xiaobu, ah..." Wenhao fell silent. Not just him, everyone at the table sighed in unison: "Ah..." And the maid, Mother Wu, upon hearing the three words ''Lu Xiaobu'', showed a hint of contempt in her eyes. Speaking of the Lu Family, it really was like a family blessed through generations. The eldest, Lu Hongbin, was adept in business, supporting all the family''s expenses alone. The second son, Lu Wenhao, was extremely gifted, known far and wide as a great talent, said to be the reincarnation of the Star of Literature. But the youngest son, knowing neither books nor business, completely useless, only knew how to spend money and bring bankruptcy, spending hundreds of thousands, sometimes even millions a month. Contrary to the second son of the Lu Family, whenever people in this area spoke of Lu Xiaobu, it was always chaos, cursing him as a reincarnated catastrophe. Moreover, it was said he had wrecked his health, probably close to death, but maybe that was for the better... After all, if the Lu Family didn''t have this little calamity, they might indeed have a place on the list of the wealthy! "Mother Wu, you don''t need to come tomorrow." And at this moment, Mr. Lu suddenly sighed and said: "Hongbin, pay Mother Wu later, give her more, consider it compensation." "Yes, Father." Hongbin nodded without showing any confusion. Only Wenhao, who was somewhat low in emotional intelligence, did not quite understand, but he more or less guessed with his strong intelligence. "Master, why? Did I do something wrong?" Mother Wu, who was still muttering about Lu Xiaobu, was suddenly startled and hurriedly asked. This job was both easy and well-paid, and she didn''t want to be fired! Chapter 2: Money, Squandering, and Chasing Girls: The Complete Dragon Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Money, Squandering, and Chasing Girls: The Complete DragonWu''s mom left, and till the end, she didn''t understand why. Lu''s dad watched Wu''s mom''s departing figure and muttered to himself, "Wu''s mom, don''t blame me. I know you look down on Xiaobu, but I don''t blame you. However, he''s my son, and I don''t want him to face cold looks even at home." "People think Xiaobu burnt out his health with indulgence, but as his dad, I know that he has been frail since birth. The doctor even said he wouldn''t live past ten and had us prepare for the worst." "That''s why our whole family treats Xiaobu like a treasure, pampering him, fearful that he might not be with us one day." "Know why we call him Lu Xiaobu? As long as he has a healthy body like Lu Bu, so what if he squanders our fortune? So what if he earns a bad reputation? We don''t care. We have money, and we''re happy to spend it." Lu Hongbin approached: "Okay, dad, no more talking. Xiaobu has broken the curse of ten years old. He''ll be safe and sound." Lu Wenhao said: "Yes, dad, I will go help big brother. Besides, Xiaobu will be down soon, don''t let him hear this." Speaking of the devil, and Cao Cao appears. "Dad, Big Bro, Second Bro," as Lu Xiaobu thought about how to squander money, he excitedly ran down from upstairs: "Give me money, I''m going on a spending spree." "Pff!" Hearing Lu Xiaobu''s straightforward words, the three of them laughedthis brat, not ashamed but proud of it! "Alright, here you go, there''s twenty thousand in this card, just use it, the PIN is still six zeros." Lu Hongbin fondly pulled out a bank card while looking at Lu Xiaobu. "Not enough, not enough," Lu Xiaobu immediately shook his head. "I need fifty thousand today." "Fifty thousand? Okay, I''ll transfer it to you later. What are you planning? A party or treating someone? Needing fifty thousand?" Lu Hongbin asked with a laugh. "Yeah, throwing a party." Lu Xiaobu smiled wide, happy with his scheme to squander money. "Have fun and enjoy yourself, just remember not to drink too much. Your body can''t handle it," Lu Hongbin advised while straightening Lu Xiaobu''s clothes, smiling. "Thanks, big brother." Lu Xiaobu felt warm inside. In his past life, he was an orphan and never experienced familial warmth, but at this moment, he could feel it. "Hey, when did this brat start being so polite? Used to just grab the money and run, it''s not that there isn''t enough money, right?" Lu Hongbin rolled his eyes: "Alright, if it''s not enough, just call me. Go, and remember to take Qianmin with you, don''t go out alone." "Okay, got it." Lu Xiaobu dashed out swiftly. Qianmin was his neighbor, a budding beauty and his childhood friend. Because his family didn''t trust him to go out alone and they didn''t want to accompany him, they always asked Qianmin to go with him. And if he didn''t take Qianmin, his family absolutely wouldn''t let him out. "If Xiaobu could win Qianmin over, I''d die content," Lu''s dad said with a hint of hope while watching Lu Xiaobu''s back. "Him? Eh..." Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao exchanged glances, both sighed deeply, clearly thinking it unlikely. ... "Qianmin." Lu Xiaobu went over to the equally luxurious villa next door and knocked on the door. The door opened, and a striking beauty stood at the door, hands on her hips, "Lu Xiaobu, you''re going to squander again, right?" "Ts ts ts, such a beautiful lady coming out of the water; even angry, you look so pretty," Lu Xiaobu exclaimed in admiration. He wasn''t just flattering; indeed, the woman in front of him had skin smooth as butter, radiant as snow, wearing a white home dress that showed off her jade-like legs, hair draped over her shoulders, which highlighted her beautiful face, even when stern, making her too stunning to look directly at. He was instantly mesmerized, his heart racing. "When did you become such a sweet talker?" Wu Qianmin rolled her eyes at Lu Xiaobu, but she still accepted his compliment, feeling somewhat pleased, "This lady goes out with you every Sunday, don''t even have time for dramas, so it''s only right you compliment me. I''ll go change, wait for me." Although she and Lu Xiaobu grew up together, she harbored no romantic feelings for him. Actually, as his squandering became more extreme, she began to despise the wastrel Lu Xiaobu more and more. So her company was only out of kindness and due to social obligations. Previously, it was fine, but as they both grew older, always being seen together definitely led to gossipbeing called a gold digger, superficial, shameless for money, and even harsher words she was too embarrassed to mention. So she decided, today would be the last time; she was going to be honest with this wastrel tonight. She had already contacted a moving company. "Where today?" Dressed and wearing sunglasses, Wu Qianmin asked with a pout. "Squander! Going to squander!" Lu Xiaobu shouted excitedlyaiming high. "Enough, aren''t you ashamed? Hurry up and let''s go." Wu Qianmin hurriedly grabbed the almost jumping Lu Xiaobu and guided him out. She had already seen the scorn in the eyes of those around, probably about to start cursing. This further solidified her resolve to distance herself from this proudly wasteful scourge. "Where to squander?" Lu Xiaobu pulled out his phone, ready to look up extravagant destinations like bars or casinos... Result. Lu Xiaobu looked at the outdated push-button phone in his hand: "Damn, a wastrel using this kind of phone? Isn''t this embarrassing?" Wu Qianmin rolled her eyes: "That phone of yours is an Angel Brand phone worth 8888, still embarrassing?" "This phone is worth 8888?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed, and threw it into a nearby drain. "Wastrel, I..." Wu Qianmin almost cursed out loud. Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She hadn''t expected an 8888 worth phone to be discarded just like that? You know, even a broken Angel Brand phone can sell for over 4000! Finally, she stamped her foot and chose to keep silent and follow Lu Xiaobuit''s the last day anyway, no anger, stay calm... After they left, someone saw the phone in the gutter, eyes gleaming, quickly went to retrieve it: "No way, an Angel Brand phone worth 8888? Jackpot!" Upon hearing this, everyone around rushed over to grab it. "Mine, mine." "This is mine." "I saw it first." "..." Chapter 3: Money Can’t Buy Happiness Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Money Can''t Buy HappinessLu Xiaobu decided to buy a cellphone first. On the way. Wu Qianmin was sulking all along and ignored Lu Xiaobu. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu kept muttering discontentedly all the way, "What sort of a wastrel was my ex, anyway? It''s bad enough that the cellphone is outdated, but not having a single lackey or even a driver''s car, how did he even manage? Embarrassing! Let me tell you, if you have any spirit in heaven, just watch and learn how a real wastrel does it!" The two headed towards the shopping street. As soon as they entered the shopping street, the whole place suddenly erupted. "Young Master Bu is here, everyone, come welcome him!" Instantly. All the store owners, like hungry wolves eyeing fresh meat, all glowed green at the door, shouting eagerly. "Young Master Bu, I have some top-notch diamond necklaces, how about you take ten just for fun?" "Young Master Bu, I have fresh tangerines here, how about two trucks to try and taste the sweetness?" "..." "Everyone back off." Wu Qianmin''s face darkened as she scolded. These bastards, they go crazy every time they see Lu Xiaobu. If it weren''t for her always keeping an eye on him, Lu Xiaobu would''ve been scammed by now. "That''s enough, this lady here again. Everyone scatter." Upon hearing Wu Qianmin''s voice, all the merchants felt disheartened and dispersed. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hehe, interesting." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, raising his eyebrows, somewhat intrigued did these people really think wastrels are fools? A true wastrel is about buying pleasure, not forced consumerism. They walked into a cellphone shop. "Hey, isn''t that Young Master Bu! Come, come, have a seat, I''ll get you some tea." As soon as the cellphone shop owner saw Lu Xiaobu coming in, he was as excited as a concubine favored by the Emperor, almost jumping up, eagerly showing hospitality, awaiting his grace. He knew Young Master Bu was definitely here to change his cell phone. "I presume you know why I''m here," Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers. "Of course, for you, Young Master Bu." The cellphone shop owner quickly brought over a cellphone. "Are you joking? You''re offering me these junk?" When Lu Xiaobu saw the cellphone, he looked somewhat displeased. This cellphone was exactly the same as the one Lu Xiaobu had thrown into the sewer. The cellphone shop owner was stunned: "Young Master Bu, this is the highest level cellphone in the Heavenly Dynasty. Touchscreen keypad, dual options, waterproof, anti-theft, classy and dazzling." "Hmm?" Lu Xiaobu frowned and scanned the cellphone shop''s counter. The salesladies, seeing Lu Xiaobu''s glance, quickly flirted in various ways, hoping to climb up the social ladder. Lu Xiaobu was not in the mood to flirt; with that little ''peanut'' of his, it was embarrassing enough. After looking around, he finally realized damn it, there really are no big-screen phones. "Damn, I''m not happy." Lu Xiaobu gritted his teeth and took out his bank card: "I''ll take the cellphone." "Alrighty!" The boss immediately beamed, anticipating a big sale. Then. Lu Xiaobu crouched on the ground, picked up the 8888-valued cellphone, and repeatedly smashed it onto the ground: "Damn, crappy phone, not happy, not happy, crappy phone..." He finally understood, this must be the difference compared to Earth that the system was talking about. Wu Qianmin slapped her forehead, speechless: "It''s only been a few minutes? This prodigal son has already wasted two cell phones worth 8888, almost twenty thousand gone." She noticed that Lu Xiaobu''s level of prodigality had risen again, he wasn''t this wasteful before. The owner of the cell phone store, however, was all smiles, muttering under his breath: "Hehe, does this mean I can sell another one? What a lucky day!" And the salespeople were half contemptuous, half envious. "So wasteful! I wish I had that much to spend." "Exactly, you prodigal, if you don''t want it, there are plenty who do." "It''s heartbreaking." "..." "Sigh, that felt good." Lu Xiaobu tossed the damaged cell phone into a nearby trash bin and stood up. Regardless, seeing the system display the wasteful amount as 8888 also somewhat consoled him. At this time. A scruffy-looking guy, clutching a broken wooden box, ran in: "Boss, I..." Upon seeing this man, the cell phone store owner immediately frowned and scolded: "Go away, go away, Li Xide, I''m telling you, Young Master Bu is here today, I don''t have time for your nonsense, scram." "Uh?" Li Xide turned to look at Lu Xiaobu, immediately as if seeing the god of death, turned around to run. "Hold on, why are you running?" Lu Xiaobu frowned: "Come back here." "Young Master Bu, spare me please..." Hearing Lu Xiaobu''s words, Li Xide''s voice was tinged with a crying tone, but he still obediently walked back. "Young Master Bu, no need for you to lift a finger, I''ll handle this." The cell phone store owner immediately picked up a broom and walked over: "Li Xide, you dare to offend Young Master Bu, watch out." "Hold on, when did I tell you to hit him?" Lu Xiaobu furrowed his brows. "No, Young Master Bu, didn''t you last time..." The cell phone store owner mimed hitting someone with the broom: "You said to hit him every time you see him." "Oh, now I remember." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, then spokeno need to think, it must''ve been the doing of a predecessor. He shook his head: "Li Xide is it, tell me, exactly why were you hit last time, if it was my fault, I will apologize." Lu Xiaobu meant well, but upon hearing this, Li Xide was almost scared to pee himself: "Young Master Bu, I beg you, spare me, I won''t dare to show up in front of you again, it''s all my fault." Only one thought was in Li Xide''s mind nowLu Xiaobu, this prodigal son, was definitely looking for a reason to beat him. "Lu Xiaobu, can you stop, he didn''t even do anything, why do you want to beat him?" Wu Qianmin originally didn''t want to intervene, but she couldn''t stand it anymore: "Last time you beat someone for no reason, and now again?" "You think I want to beat him?" Lu Xiaobu was getting unhappy, good intentions taken for granted? "Nonsense, what else could it be, don''t I know you?" Wu Qianmin said angrily. "What do you think?" Lu Xiaobu turned to look at the cell phone store owner, who was holding the broom ready to ''share his burden''. "Hehe." The cell phone store owner just laughed and didn''t speak, but his meaning was clear. "Fine, if you all think so, then let''s do it." Lu Xiaobu snorted coldly. "You! You''re not even looking for a reason anymore, I misjudged you!" Wu Qianmin was even more furious. The cell phone store owner raised his broom. Li Xide closed his eyes, almost kneeling down, tears appearing in the corner of his eyes. Salesperson A: "Oh, poor thing." Salesperson B: "This prodigal is really hateful!" But the next words from Lu Xiaobu left everyone stunned, and the cell phone store owner nearly threw out his back. Chapter 4: Wealth Allows Caprice (First Update) Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Wealth Allows Caprice (First Update)Lu Xiaobu looked at the nearly crying Li Xide in front of him: "Since Qianmin says it''s my fault, then it must be. I''ll apologize to you first, sorry. You can calculate the medical expenses and compensation. I''ll pay you." At this statement, the whole room was shocked. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Xiaobu, you!" Wu Qianmin was feeling a mix of emotions and for a moment didn''t know how to respond. Her heart, which had been utterly disappointed in Lu Xiaobu, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. "Ouch." The phone shop owner almost threw out his back. Li Xide was dumbstruck, his jaw nearly hit the floor. What the hell is this? This extravagant fool is apologizing to me and offering compensation? But before he could get excited, he heard Lu Xiaobu speak again: "But, you have to clearly explain the whole story right now, or else this money will be considered your funeral expense." "Uh..." The whole room was shocked. Wasn''t it just a beating just now? How did it turn into murder all of a sudden? "Young Master Bu..." Li Xide was somewhat confused and more afraid. "Speak!" Lu Xiaobu said ''ferociously.'' "I''ll speak." Li Xide quickly straightened his body: "Actually, I''m an inventor..." Phone shop owner: "Heh, a single geek." Li Xide''s face turned red: "At that time, I wanted to ask Young Master Bu for a sponsorship..." Phone shop owner: "Clearly you had no money for food and were hungry." Li Xide: "Maybe I misspoke..." Phone shop owner: "It''s because you''re too smelly and dirty." Li Xide: "And then I got beaten." Phone shop owner: "That''s correct." "It''s understandable." Lu Xiaobu nodded. He understood the behavior of his predecessor. After all, such a scruffy guy coming up and clinging onto someone, it''s easy to react excessively. Lu Xiaobu said: "Li Xide, considering you keep visiting the phone shop, your invention is probably a phone, right?" The phone shop owner immediately chimed in: "Young Master Bu is insightful, it is indeed a phone. This guy is neglecting his proper job of repairing phones and is instead working on some ''new era'' phone, but what he made is just trash." "It''s not trash!" Li Xide, who had been constantly ridiculed by the phone shop owner and didn''t dare to retort, suddenly stiffened his neck and yelled at him. "It''s just trash. It''s not waterproof, not durable, it breaks as soon as it''s slightly knocked. Who would buy such a phone?" The phone shop owner said dismissively. "It''s not trash!" Li Xide''s voice grew louder. Phone shop owner: "It is..." Li Xide''s face turned red from holding his breath: "It''s! Not! Trash!" The phone shop owner was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes and conceded, "Okay, okay, it''s not trash." "He he." Li Xide, like a child who''d been acknowledged by an adult, calmed down in an instant. He truly had an innocent temperament. The phone shop owner was speechless. "Interesting." Lu Xiaobu was smiling at this scene, thinking these two were really funny, like a comedy duo. If they formed a team, they''d definitely make it big. He chuckled: "Li Xide, show me your invention." "Uh..." Li Xide looked at the box in his hand, then at the Angel Brand 8888 phone that Lu Xiaobu had just smashed near the trash can. He shuddered and then clutched the wooden box tightly: "No!" "Damn, I can''t have a proper conversation with you, huh." Lu Xiaobu was annoyed, pointing at the phone shop owner: "Go, snatch that box for me, and don''t break it." The phone shop owner, seeing Li Xide guarding his invention like a hen with her chicks, hesitated: "Young Master Bu, this..." Lu Xiaobu didn''t want to waste time arguing, there were plenty of others willing to act. He gestured to the crowd at the entrance enjoying the show: "Whoever can snatch the box without damaging it, I''ll reward them with five thousand bucks, and remember not to hit anyone." At this statement, the entire space was filled with heavy breathing. Li Xide felt like he was being targeted by a pack of wolves. "Young Master, leave it to me!" The phone shop owner, who was closest to the action, saw money and his eyes turned red. He swiftly lunged at Li Xide. "Boss, that''s not cool." The spectators were startled and also charged at Li Xide. "What else can I say?" Wu Qianmin was falling apart. This extravagant sonthere goes another five thousand. Did he really think money grew on trees? However, she found some consolation in that special phrase he had saiddon''t hit anyone. "Clang, bang, bam!" The victor emerged. "Young Master, here''s your box." A burly guy came forward with the box, a look of expectation on his face. "Not bad." Lu Xiaobu nodded with satisfaction, reached for the box and opened it. His face immediately lit up with joy: "Wow damn, this is fantastic! This is the phone I''ve been looking for. Li Xide, how much? I''ll buy it." Following Lu Xiaobu''s gaze, there it was, a touchscreen phone. Li Xide was squatting in a corner drawing circles and cursing the prodigal Lu Xiaobu. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, his mouth hung open, incredulously looking at the delighted Lu Xiaobu. While he was stunned, someone else was notthat person was the owner of the mobile phone shop. The mobile phone shop owner became anxious: "Young Master Bu, how could you settle for this piece of junk?" He knew the math clearly. If Lu Xiaobu, this wastrel, bought this thing, then to whom would he sell his Angel Brand 8888 phone? And this sentence ''piece of junk'' opened Li Xide''s ''switch''. "You''re the piece of junk!" bellowed Li Xide. "Psh, tell me, does this piece of junk have any special functions?" The mobile phone shop owner sneered coldly, his interests at stake, he was not going to indulge this guy. "Uh... no." Li Xide clenched his teeth. Though unwilling, he couldn''t refute. "Does it have the Angel Brand phone''s waterproof feature?" "No!" "Does it endure falls like the Angel Brand phone?" "No!" "Does it have..." "No..." "..." A barrage of questions ensued. The mobile phone shop owner became increasingly arrogant. Li Xide''s spirits sank lower and lower. The onlookers shook their heads one after another: "If it has nothing, what kind of invention is it? It''s just junk." "Does it look as beautiful as the Angel Brand phone?" The mobile phone shop owner asked again, feeling like he was holding the winning hand, confident that he could sell another Angel Brand 8888 phone to this wastrel today and make a nice profit! "Yes!" It was Lu Xiaobu who spoke this time; he looked at the mobile phone shop owner: "What are you blabbing on about? If I, Young Master, find it good-looking and want to buy it, so what if I have money to burn? Is it any of your business? You talk too much." He turned to Li Xide: "Name your price." "Young Master Bu, if you really like it, I''ll just give it to you. I was overreaching," said a disheartened Li Xide. He no longer cared for sponsorship. He just wanted to give his only work to the person who truly liked it, as validation for his efforts. "Cut the crap. I''m talking about your price, not the phone''s price." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "So, how much do you want to work for me?" He had seen it before; although this phone had the makings of a smartphone, it had only the form and lacked the substance. Many things still needed to be perfected, and it wouldn''t do without a professional to maintain and upgrade it. "Me?" Li Xide was stunned once again. "Stop dilly-dallying. Ten thousand a month, tips extra. You''ll maintain and upgrade the phone for me, deal or no deal?" Lu Xiaobu made a definitive offer. "Deal, deal, deal! Thank you, Young Master Bu. From today on, my life is yours!" said Li Xide, nodding eagerly, thrilled beyond measure. He knew such fortune wouldn''t come by again. What excited him the most wasn''t the ten thousand yuan, although that was also thrilling. What truly exhilarated him was the fact that Young Master Bu genuinely appreciated his labor of love. A warrior dies for those who appreciate himfor someone with a pure heart like his, that statement was not just a show of loyalty, but a vow. Everyone was stunned. "Man, this piece of crap is actually worth ten thousand a month?" "Prodigal son, truly a prodigal!" "I think it''s not about being a prodigal but a fool. What''s the difference between this and paying ten thousand for a beggar?" "..." "Lu Xiaobu, you!" Wu Qianmin wanted to say something, but she couldn''t speak ill in front of Li Xide, so she just huffily stomped her foot and muttered under her breath, "Prodigal! That''s another ten thousand, and it''s recurring too." Lu Xiaobu just shrugged his shoulders, not bothering to argue. He liked using this kind of smart phone, and it was just ten thousand yuan, no big deal. When you have money, you can do what you want. And who''s to say who the fool is, really. A smart phone inferior to an old button-operated device? Hilarious. Ten thousand for an inventor ahead of his time, that''s a big win. He reckons he''d be laughing himself awake tonight. The mobile phone shop owner, on the other hand, looked as if all life had drained from himdone for, completely done for. The phones won''t sell, and now this jobber''s salary is higher than his, how depressing. "Don''t be downhearted, you''ve contributed today. Here''s a reward, five thousand." Lu Xiaobu, generous and carefree, waved his hand magnanimously, and another five thousand was on offer. "Thank you, Young Master Bu. Greetings to Young Master Bu." The mobile phone shop owner''s mood went from cloudy to sunny in an instant, almost kneeling to pay his respects. "Young Master Bu, you see..." And then a hesitant voice spoke up. "Oh, right, there''s another five thousand to squander." Lu Xiaobu smacked his forehead as if he just realized. The crowd fell over themselvesCCeven you admit it''s squandering! Chapter 5 - 5 Defeat the Bastard (2nd Update) Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Defeat the Bastard (2nd Update)"Young Master Bu, then I..." The speaker was the same person who had just snatched the box for Lu Xiaobu; his face now flushed red, clearly not accustomed to asking for money. Lu Xiaobu looked at the man and nodded approvinglygood material for a lackey. He had seen earlier that this guy had exceptional skills; facing those competitors, he casually tossed one after another aside and easily got the box: "What''s your name?" "Zhang Meng." "Do you have a military background, looking at your build?" "Yes." "Interested in working with me?" "As a bodyguard?" "No, as a lackey." "Uh..." Zhang Meng hesitated. "The same as Li Xide, ten thousand a month, tips not included." Zhang Meng: "My respects, Young Master." "Don''t call me Young Master, call me Young Master instead." "Alright, Young Master. No problem, Young Master." Wu Qianmin slapped her forehead, completely speechless. What a wastrel. What is even happening here? Li Xide is one thinghe''s an employee, though unreliable. And now? Directly recruiting lackeys? And just for snatching a box, you''re paying someone ten thousand a month? Even Li Xide who gave you physical aid isn''t as good as this! "Okay, I''m happy today. There should be over thirty thousand in my card, with the passcode being six zeros. Consider it an advance for your monthly salary, and the extra is your tip. Off you go, take a half day off, change clothes. Report back in the evening." Lu Xiaobu happily tossed his bank card to Zhang Meng. "Are you insane?!" Wu Qianmin suddenly jumped up. Buying phones to smash for fun is one thing, hiring someone for ten thousand is another. And now you''re even giving your bank card away? There''s over thirty thousand left in it. Is this how you give a tip? "I..." Holding the bank card, Zhang Meng was at a loss for words for a while, then he suddenly turned and walked away. "Don''t go." Wu Qianmin was anxious. Although she had decided to move out immediately, she couldn''t just watch this wastrel get swindled like this. It was different from not paying Li Xide yet; his matter could still be discussed, but this was different! But at this moment, there was no trace of Zhang Meng to be found on the street. The bystanders also started murmuring. "Hey, Lu Xiaobu, the wastrel, got conned." "Yeah, the guy just left a potentially fake name, we don''t even know his ID, he''s definitely a scammer." "If I knew it was this easy, I would have conned him myself." "What an interesting day, the wastrel ends up taking in a beggar and a scammer." "..." Wu Qianmin couldn''t catch up to Zhang Meng, and returned to Lu Xiaobu''s side, angrily saying: "Lu Xiaobu, are you stupid? 30,000 yuan! You just gave it to someone you know nothing about? Have you gone mad?! You never used to squander money like this!" "It''s fine, it''s fine, just 30,000 yuan, no big deal. Even if I get scammed, consider it a lesson bought, affluence allows for caprice." However, Lu Xiaobu was quite happy. In his previous life, he lived protected behind the human wall of soldiers, and later on, he received no shortage of help from the military. He couldn''t repay them in his last life, so he thought he might as well do it in this life. He didn''t think Zhang Meng was a scammer. So what if I''ve been tricked? Money can''t buy happiness! After all, the newbie task is completed, time for the lottery draw, wahaha! Awesome! "System, system, time for the lottery draw." Lu Xiaobu said excitedly. The system replied, "Granted." A big wheel immediately appeared in front of Lu Xiaobu, divided into eight equal parts, which were: Eat, Drink, Play, Enjoy, Clothes, Shelter, Travel, Special. Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I understand all the other parts, but what does ''Special'' mean?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Anything that doesn''t fit into other categories goes under ''Special''." The system answered bluntly: "Too lazy to bother, I''ll deal with it later." "That''s my system, alright. You''ve got style." Lu Xiaobu agreed fully: "Can''t you just tell me the result of the lottery? I''m too lazy to draw!" "Err..." the system was at a loss for words: "I''m impressed, really impressed with your laziness!" Lu Xiaobu: "Mutual, mutual." The system said, "Alright, you''ve won the technology to manufacture mobile phone CPUs. You can transfer this technology to others and take it back anytime without worrying about leaks." Lu Xiaobu was delighted: "Hey, not bad. Getting exactly what I need. Did you cheat for me? With the core technology in hand, we can finalise the smartphone. After all, other technology in this world seems pretty mature." The system replied: "From now on, don''t bother me unless it''s really necessary. I''m too lazy to talk." Lu Xiaobu: "What about missions?" The system said, "Too lazy to assign them. Unless something urgent like today''s newbie task comes up, just assume I''m out to get soy sauce." Lu Xiaobu: "Works for me. I love it that you''ve got such an attitude, no wonder you''re my system. We''re a perfect match." The system: "..." After frustrating the system, Lu Xiaobu laughed gleefully, and then said: "Li Xide, let''s go, time to return home. I''m broke and can''t spend recklessly anymore. Should have taken out the SIM card when I threw the phone away, now I have to make a trip back." He had just glanced at the prices of attribute points in the shop, 100,000 per point. The first goal is to find a way to max out my attribute points, isn''t it? He did some quick calculations, to max out all attributes would cost 24.7 million. Let''s round it off to an even 25 million... Oh well, round it to 30 million... Actually, let''s settle on 50 million. Waste it! "Yes, Young Master," Li Xide immediately nodded. Wu Qianmin felt a bit crazy upon hearing Lu Xiaobu speak. 50,000 yuan, that was 50,000 yuan. That''s enough for an ordinary family to live for a year, and he''d managed to waste it all in such a short time?! The key thing was, no one knew where all that money went. Let''s do the math. He bought a cell phone for 88,888, and then smashed it! Snatched a box, gave someone 5,000! The mobile phone shop owner did nothing, and got 5,000! And the last, even more brutally, simply gave a swindler over 30,000! And that''s not counting those continual small expenses, the 20,000 spent every month. What''s all this? Is this what you call whimsical spending? It''s clearly burning money! A genuine wastrel, truly! Luckily, I won''t have to see this wastrel after tomorrow! "Farewell, Young Master Bu." With the mobile phone shop owner and all the sales clerks seeing him off, Lu Xiaobu left the cell phone shop. They had just walked out the door. "Eh? Isn''t that Big Brother and Second Brother?" Lu Xiaobu saw two men not far away and immediately felt amused, "Now that''s great, no need to go home for money. Time to ask for some." "Big Brother, Second Brother," Lu Xiaobu bounced over to Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao. "Xiaobu? What are you doing here? Weren''t you at a gathering? Come on, come in," Lu Hongbin said affectionately, leading Lu Xiaobu into the shop. They had just signed a contract for this shop, which used to be a restaurant, and the original owner was still there. As they walked in, Lu Xiaobu excitedly pulled out a piece of paper and tossed it to Li Xide: "Take a look at this." Then he ran to the drinks cabinet: "Coke, Coke, got any Coke?" "What is this!" Li Xide, holding the piece of paper, started trembling with a mixture of ecstasy and fear on his face. "How can this be?!" Lu Wenhao, the scholarly Lu Family''s second son, accidentally glimpsed the paper and was also startled. Chapter 6 - 6 100000000 (Please favorite, please vote) Chapter 6: Chapter 6 100000000 (Please favorite, please vote)Lu Xiaobu was gleefully sipping a freshly squeezed apple juice, while handing another cup to Wu Qianmin: "Here, it tastes pretty good." Wu Qianmin looked at the juice in her hand, then glanced at the now-empty beverage cabinet, a bit freaked out: "Lu Xiaobu! You damn well opened up every single drink in the cabinet, took one sip, threw them on the floor, all those drinks together cost over three hundred bucks, yet in the end, you settled for a ten-yuan freshly squeezed apple juice? What''s your deal?" "The rest didn''t taste good." Lu Xiaobu laughed carelessly. He had wanted to find a cola but didn''t, so he ended up trying everything and found that none compared to the fresh apple juice. Wu Qianmin clenched her little fists. If she weren''t worried about breaking Lu Xiaobu, she really wanted to punch this prodigal son. Holding that ''over three hundred yuan'' worth of apple juice, she was nearly in tearsbetter sip slowly, it''s too expensive. At this moment, Lu Wenhuo rushed over, looking at Lu Xiaobu with an excited expression: "Xiaobu, tell me the truth, where did that piece of paper come from?" "I found it," Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly. "Found... fou... found... found... it?" Lu Wenhuo stuttered. "What''s the matter, Second Brother?" Lu Hongbin was somewhat puzzled. "Big Brother, come here." Lu Wenhuo, like a thief, pulled Lu Hongbin to one side, took a deep breath, and then pointed at Li Xide: "Do you know what that paper in his hand is?" "What?" Lu Hongbin looked at Li Xide and frowned. Although he didn''t judge people by their appearance, Li Xide''s sloppy look really didn''t inspire any liking. "Mobile CPU technology, and it''s high-end," Lu Wenhuo said emphatically: "This technology has always been monopolized by foreign countries." "Oh, what about it?" Lu Hongbin, who wasn''t well-educated, didn''t understand. "Let me put it another way." Lu Wenhuo continued: "That piece of paper is worth tens of billions! Not a cent less!" "What!" Lu Hongbin jumped up, his eyes turning red. "Quiet, quiet." Lu Wenhuo quickly covered Lu Hongbin''s mouth. "Huff, huff!" Lu Hongbin gasped for a while before calming down. He absolutely believed what Lu Wenhuo said. Staring at Lu Wenhuo: "Second Brother, Big Brother is a rough man, I don''t understand, you say what do we do? Should I go develop a good relationship with this man? So that we can have a share of the soup?" "Have a share of the soup? What soup?" Lu Wenhuo looked around and whispered: "Big Brother, I just saw, this thing belongs to Xiaobu, he gave it to this man." "Woo..." This time Lu Hongbin didn''t need Lu Wenhuo''s hand, he covered his own mouth: "Woo woo woo woo?" "Absolutely true, I asked Xiaobu." Lu Wenhuo nodded; as brothers, they naturally understood each other''s meaning. "Woo woo woo?" "He said he found it." Lu Wenhuo gave a bitter smile. "Woo woo woo woo woo?" "I think it''s impossible too." "Woo woo woo woo?" "Anyway, I think we should first strike a deal with that man, to keep it secret, no matter the cost, at all costs." "Right, let''s do that!" Lu Hongbin immediately released his hand, decisively making the call, then said with some complaints: "That little scoundrel Xiaobu, doesn''t he know to be more careful? Can this thing just be shown to anyone?" Lu Wenhuo suppressed his excitement and stepped aside; dealing in business was not his forte, this called for Big Brother to take action. Lu Hongbin rubbed his face, regaining composure as if he knew nothing and stepped forward to approach Li Xide: "Sir, do you know Xiaobu?" "Oh, Young Master Bu has hired me, I''m now an employee of Young Master Bu." Li Xide casually mentioned as he indulged in the sea of knowledge. ''Not bad.'' Lu Hongbin was instantly delighted and thought to himself: ''This just got easier.'' So he hurriedly said, "Well then, Xiaobu, you know about certain things, so why don''t we sign a confidentiality agreement?" "Sure thing, that''s only proper." Li Xide nodded, then pulled out his ID card: "Here''s my ID card." "Great, straightforward." Lu Hongbin immediately took the ID card and went to draft the contract. The night is long and full of dreams; better to seal the deal as quickly as possible. Lu Hongbin demonstrated unprecedented Speed, quickly drafting the contract and with some trepidation handed it to Li Xide: "Mr. Li, please take a look, because this item is very valuable, I''ve set the penalty at one billion and the confidentiality period for 20 years. If you think it''s too much, we can make appropriate modifications." Li Xide: "Umm... let''s change it a bit." "How should we change it?" Lu Hongbin asked anxiously. Even though he said they could make modifications, he felt it wouldn''t be safe if it were too little. "Add two more zeros to the penalty and also add a zero to the confidentiality period," Li Xide smiled. "This way, everyone can feel at ease." "Umm..." Lu Hongbin was stunned, having prepared a whole belly full of arguments, none were needed. He suddenly blurted out, "Don''t you know the value of what you''re holding onto?" As soon as he said this, he regretted it. Why say more, just sign and talk later. "I do," Li Xide nodded. "I research mobile technology, of course, I know. But I''ve already sworn to devote my life to Young Master Bu, what difference does it make between one billion and a hundred billion? Between twenty years and two hundred years? If it makes you all feel more secure and gives Young Master Bu less trouble, I''m more than happy." He is pure-hearted, once he sets his mind on something, not even nine bulls could pull him back. Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Alright!" Lu Hongbin really didn''t know what else to say. Xiaobu is really something, to make someone so devoted with such valuable things in hand! Redrafted the agreement, signed the names, pressed the fingerprints, the whole process was completed rapidly. This compensation agreement with hundreds of billions and a two hundred year confidentiality period took less than a minute to draftif this gets out, it would surely shock people. "Phew..." With the agreement signed, Lu Hongbin was relieved and asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, how much salary would you like?" He had already decided, even if the other party asked for an exorbitant amount, he would give it. "Young Master Bu said it would be ten thousand a month, with tips counted separately..." When it came to salary, Li Xide felt a bit awkward: "I know it''s a bit much, but less is fine too..." "Umm..." Lu Hongbin slapped his forehead: "That''s fine, Mr. Li, discuss this with Xiaobu." He was beaten, realizing that all the tactics he''d learned from the business battlefield were useless here. Oh, my goodness, can you imagine? A person with high-end technology, only wanting ten thousand a month... I... well, I have nothing to say. Xiaobu ah Xiaobu, you... are awesome. He now needs to discuss with his younger brother how to monetize this technology, of course, the first step is to ask Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu''s response was: "Whatever, just do as you please! But, no one else can have a gold-plated phone, only me." Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao: "..." Little wastrel, something worth tens of billions, and yet in your eyes it isn''t even as valuable as a gold-plated phone? Chapter 7: Famous Flowers Have Owners (Please Collect and Recommend) Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Famous Flowers Have Owners (Please Collect and Recommend)Lu Wenhao, the academic overachiever, and Li Xide, the tech guru, found common ground through technology and excitedly started discussing it on the side. "Big bro, I''m out of money, give me some more." After finishing his juice, Lu Xiaobu smiled and reached out for money. "Sure, here you go. Should I transfer it to your card?" Lu Hongbin was delighted. This little spendthrift had just earned a hefty sum for the family; this small amount of money was nothing. "No need, I gave my card to someone else. Can you give me a new card instead?" Lu Xiaobu shook his head. "Okay, here''s 100,000. Take it. The PIN is the same. Let me know if it''s not enough," Lu Hongbin laughed. "Brother Lu, stop giving him money," Wu Qianmin suddenly intervened. "You have no idea, this spendthrift is getting out of hand. He just blew through 50,000 in no time and even hired two people, paying them 10,000 a month. If you keep giving him money, it might all be gone by tonight." She thought that after her words, Brother Lu would become more cautious and give less. However. "A spendthrift? Spending well, that''s great!" Lu Hongbin laughed. "Uh..." Wu Qianmin was stunned, wondering if Brother Lu had gone mad from anger. At that moment. "Done!" Lu Wenhao suddenly jumped up. "Yes! Yes! That''s right!" Li Xide also jumped up. The two of them, like little kids, hugged and bounced around together. "Second bro, what''s up?" Lu Xiaobu hurried over. "Did you two find true love with each other?" "Get lost!" Lu Wenhao''s face turned green. "Do you talk to your second brother like that?" "Hehe!" Lu Xiaobu chuckled. At this moment, Lu Hongbin had everyone else except them leave and closed the door. Now, the store was left with just their own people. "Second brother, tell us," Lu Hongbin looked at Lu Wenhao expectantly. "Big brother, I must say, this wastrel Xiaobu did a great job. First, this item, it''s very detailed, and Mr. Li, whom he brought back, is a technical talent. We both have fully grasped it," Lu Wenhao adjusted his glasses, reflecting a unique shine of an academic achiever. "Don''t say that, Young Master deserves the credit. Without him, I wouldn''t have understood it," Li Xide quickly demurred. "You shouldn''t say that either. No matter how well one studies, if it can''t be turned into something practical, it''s useless," Lu Wenhao said. "Actually..." "You really..." Watching the two praise each other, Lu Hongbin rolled his eyeswould you two talk about something practical? Wu Qianmin felt differently, though. She had earlier criticized Lu Xiaobu''s hiring of Li Xide as wasteful, but now Li Xide had become someone even the academic Lu Wenhao admired greatly, making her face feel burning hot. Lu Xiaobu watched the two mutually praising each other, waved a big hand: "Both have merits, reward, five thousand each." This act immediately stopped their mutual praising. "Thank you, Young Master Bu," Li Xide was incredibly happy. But Lu Wenhao''s face turned green again as he grabbed Lu Xiaobu''s head and roughed it up: "Are you rewarding your second brother? You little rascal, are you rebelling?" "Cough cough, it''s unexpected," Lu Xiaobu grinned mischievously. "It''s because you guys were mutually praising each other. If you don''t want it, give it to Li Xide." "No way, that would look bad. Although you''re his boss, we are peers, it wouldn''t be right for me to give him money," Lu Wenhao shook his head. "Whatever, when can Li Xide produce a smartphone?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Today," said Li Xide. "Not bad, another five thousand reward," Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily. "Thank you, Young Master Bu," Li Xide was thrilled, no wonder Young Master Bu said tips were separate. In such a short time, he had already earned more than his salary. "Actually, it''s also a coincidence, I had all the parts, so we just need to modify someone else''s CPU and assemble the other components." "What are we waiting for then, let''s go," Lu Xiaobu immediately said. Smartphones, here I come, woohoo. "Yes, Young Master Bu," Li Xide rubbed his hands excitedly. To personally build a new era smartphone was a great honor indeed. Lu Family''s eldest and second brother exchanged looks, both brimming with excitement, eager to see the result. Only Wu Qianmin had some doubts - why did it feel like the whole family was helping Xiaobu squander their wealth? Giving up the shop too? ... In a flash, ten hours passed, and the time reached 9 PM. With the joint efforts of Lu Wenhao, the top student, and Li Xide, the tech emperor... After dismantling over fifty mobile phones and searching for the right components... At the strong request of Xiaobu and under the guidance of the prodigal son... A new era smartphone that aligned with Earthlings'' aesthetic, in ostentatious gold, was finally born! "So beautiful." Li Xide was inexplicably excited - This is a real phone. "Yeah, so beautiful." Lu Wenhao was extremely proud - Who dares to call me a bookworm now? "Too beautiful." Lu Hongbin''s eyes gleamed with golden light - We''re going to be rich! "What a squander." Wu Qianmin looked at the dazzling gold phone and the phones dismantled on the ground, feeling a bit heartbroken, but her admiration for the new phone outweighed it - It''s really, really beautiful. "Wakaka, my phone is ready!" Xiaobu grabbed the phone and laughed heartily. Seeing Xiaobu take the phone, a sense of loss arose in everyone''s heart - The belle has an owner. Wu Qianmin felt it more intensely, it felt even more disappointing than someone stealing her favorite handbag. "Brother, brother, what features does it have?" Xiaobu asked excitedly, "Are there any pay-to-win games?" "Umm...no," Lu Wenhao shook his head. "Any live streaming?" "No." "Any online card dealing?" "I don''t know what that is, but no!" "Any..." "No." "..." "Ehh...I''m not happy." Xiaobu pouted and casually tossed the phone to Wu Qianmin: "Here, you have it. It has nothing, I don''t want it." "Really?!" Wu Qianmin was instantly delighted. "Oh..." Lu Wenhao and Lu Hongbin exclaimed with a deep, meaningful tone. They didn''t believe for a second that Xiaobu, who made so many requests, didn''t know the phone lacked functions. He was actually hitting on her! "I..." Wu Qianmin bit her red lip, looked at the beautiful phone in her hand, wanting to refuse but found herself unable to, finally stomping her foot: "Annoying." A few people left the run-down home of Li Xide and headed towards the newly opened shop of the Lu Family. Wu Qianmin stayed silent the entire way. She didn''t know what to say. Even though she appeared angry, a sweet feeling kept surfacing in her heart. Thus, she didn''t notice what was happening behind her. "Xiaobu, well done," Lu Hongbin whispered, "I will add another two hundred thousand to your card later, have a good time with Qianmin." Lu Wenhao: "Yes, yes, yes. If you can win Qianmin over, Brother will give all his scholarship money for you to squander." "Cough, cough..." Xiaobu coughed, "What are you talking about, really, am I that kind of person?" Then, shifting the topic: "Big brother, how much is your scholarship?" "Hiss..." Lu Wenhao feigned nonchalance, "Just over a million, not much." Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Don''t worry, brother, mission will be accomplished!" Xiaobu''s eyes reddened, making a military salute - A million! Ten attribute points, a little bean can grow into a sapling! Chapter 8 - 8 The Bankrupting Menu (Please Favorite, Please Recommend) Chapter 8: Chapter 8 The Bankrupting Menu (Please Favorite, Please Recommend)Back at the newly opened store, there was a person waiting at the entrance. "Boss, where did you go?" A red-faced, thick-necked man in a chef''s uniform walked in and said to Lu Hongbin. "Ah, Xu Yi, you''re here. I had some things to take care of. But from now on, you''re not only the head chef of this restaurant, but also the boss. You handle affairs here. Profits will be split fifty-fifty, if there are losses, they''re on me," Lu Hongbin said with a smile. "Boss? I..." Xu Yi was incredibly excited. "That''s enough, you''ve followed me for so many years, since the very first restaurant. You deserve this," Lu Hongbin patted Xu Yi''s shoulder. "So, our family runs a restaurant, huh," Lu Xiaobu scratched his head and asked. "Uh..." Lu Hongbin was at a loss for words: "You little wastrel, you don''t even know what our family business is?" Lu Xiaobu: "Hehe, I''m a wastrel, I only know how to squander money." Everyone was speechless: "..." Does this count as being self-aware? "Alright, let''s have a happy day today. Xu Yi, make a couple of your specialties for our little squanderer here, let''s all have a bite," Lu Hongbin said as he rubbed Lu Xiaobu''s head. ... Moments later, the table was full of an array of twelve dishes, all of which were Xu Yi''s specialties, and he was still bringing more. "That''s enough, Xu Yi, we can''t eat that much," Lu Hongbin laughed. "It''s fine, no worries, this one''s on me." Xu Yi was sweating profusely in the kitchen, but he was still cheerfully cooking. "Qianmin, don''t be shy. We''re all family here," Lu Hongbin called out. "Thank you, Big Brother Lu." Wu Qianmin''s cheeks were a little red, and of course, she understood the meaning behind Lu family''s words, but she could only apologize. Although Lu Xiaobu did indeed make her rethink a bit today, she still didn''t want to pin her hopes on this little wastrel. If it really came down to it, she would just return Lu Xiaobu''s mobile phone. Although reluctant, she wasn''t a gold-digger. "Ah." Lu Hongbin heaved a sigh. He understood but didn''t say anything. He had already heard the news about Qianmin''s family moving, and although he wanted to keep them, he really couldn''t bring himself to speak. Xiaobu, you got to step up! ... "Xiaobu, eat," Lu Hongbin looked at the disinterested Lu Xiaobu and asked with some concern, "Is it not to your taste?" "Yeah, it''s all meat and fish, don''t feel like eating it," Lu Xiaobu said petulantly, this food is not wasteful enough. "Young Master Bu, what do you want to eat? Just say it, I''ll make it," Xu Yi immediately asked upon hearing this. He knew all too well that pleasing Lu Hongbin was far less important than pleasing this little master, which would make his boss Lu Hongbin even happier. "Boiled cabbage in clear broth," said Lu Xiaobu. "Boiled cabbage in clear broth? Boiled or steamed?" Xu Yi was perplexed. Isn''t he supposed to be a wastrel? Why is he being so thrifty? "Xiaobu, you?" Lu Hongbin was also confused: "Did you get a stomach ache?" Only Wu Qianmin patted her head, feeling that the boiled cabbage in clear broth mentioned by Lu Xiaobu was definitely not that simple. Through the series of events today, she realized something, this wastrel was no longer the same one as before. If squandering were an art, the Lu Xiaobu from before was merely accomplished, but today, he had certainly reached the pinnacle. Indeed. Xiaobu looked at their reactions and knew it, this world surely did not have this famous dish. Fortunately, he remembered. "First, separately blanch an old hen, an old duck, the trotters of a top-quality ham, spare ribs, and dried scallops - all fresh goods - in boiling water to remove any blood and impurities. Fish them out, wash them clean, then put them together into the soup pot. Add a sufficient amount of water, ginger, and scallions, then cooking wine, as well as other ingredients that will enhance the soup''s deliciousness. Remember to switch to low heat so that it is just simmering without boiling, and slowly stew until the soup has extracted the essence of the flavors." "Puree the chicken breast meat, then use the cool broth to stir the puree until it''s the consistency of soy milk, and pour it into the boiling broth. At this point, a miraculous phenomenon will occur as the impurities in the soup vigorously latch onto the pured meat." "After about 10 minutes, scoop out the spherical clumps and discard them. Repeat this process 2 to 3 times, until the soup is ''cleared'' and becomes as translucent as water." "Then select a high-quality Chinese cabbage, select the tender core leaves and stems, about the size of a fist, and carve it into an immaculate white lotus." "Finally, use a ladle to repeatedly pour the warm, strained broth over the Chinese cabbage until even the outermost stem can be easily pressed into and it''s fully softened." "Remember, it must not be boiled, but slowly scalded until it is cooked." Xiaobu looked at Xu Yi: "Do you understand?" "I understand, but..." Xu Yi''s face was full of struggles, and in the end, he still said: "Such extravagance!" My heavens! Whether it tastes good or not, let''s put that aside for the moment. He had never seen such an extravagant recipe before; to use so many fresh ingredients just for a single Chinese cabbage? Who on earth would come up with such an extravagant recipe? And, is this considered eating lightly? This seems even more opulent than having a feast of fish and meat. "Indeed, I knew it, it couldn''t be that simple." Wu Qianmin felt a headache coming on. Even eating a dish could be so wasteful, unbelievable! Although Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao were also shocked, they had somewhat braced themselves for it and said nothing. "Xu Yi, go and cook it," Lu Hongbin said with a wry smile, "Today, I will also taste this extravagant dish." "Alright," Xu Yi went off to cook. ... "Young Master Bu, this is what you asked for." Xu Yi carefully presented a small porcelain bowl, then opened it, and at this moment, the expression on his face was indescribably weird. "Uh..." Lu Hongbin looked at the simple dish in the bowl and couldn''t help but say, "If I hadn''t known in advance about the huge expense, I would have thought it was really just several pieces of Chinese cabbage core soaked in water, not even a speck of oil to be seen."

"Don''t just stand there, eat," Xiaobu stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of Chinese cabbage for both Lu Hongbin and Wu Qianmin, and then stuffed one into his own mouth and began to eat. Seeing Xiaobu serve them, Lu Hongbin and Wu Qianmin revealed incredulous expressions on their faces. ''When did this spendthrift learn to be so considerate?'' Wu Qianmin looked at Xiaobu''s carefree expression and suddenly felt a sense of guilt: ''What will he do if I leave?'' Lu Hongbin looked at Wu Qianmin''s eyes, smiling but saying nothingindeed, this little spendthrift had caught on, this move was something even Wenhao might not know. While thinking, he placed the Chinese cabbage into his mouth. Then, "Uh! What the!" His eyes suddenly widened! "Lu brother?" Wu Qianmin, seeing Lu Hongbin''s stunned look, was somewhat confused. Lu Hongbin didn''t speak but just pointed at the boiled cabbage, urging Wu Qianmin to try it. "I''ll give it a try," Wu Qianmin picked it up. She actually didn''t want to eat it because she was a thrifty girl. She always felt a strange sense of guilt eating such luxurious food. Then. Chapter 9 - 9 Thinking of That Something After Being Well-fed (Please favorite, recommend, and vote) Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Thinking of That Something After Being Well-fed (Please favorite, recommend, and vote)"Hmm?" Wu Qianmin initially took a small bite, but in the next second, she couldn''t stop herself. In no time, an entire "cabbage lotus" was devoured. "Delicious, too delicious." A look of immense enjoyment appeared on her face: "Clean and fresh, delicately elegant, rich aroma, thick soup, not oily or greasy, tender and melt-in-your-mouth, not like a delicacy, better than a delicacy! No, I need another one." Any guilt she felt was obliterated by the deliciousness, frivolous spending? No! This isn''t frivolous spending, it''s worth every penny! "Burp..." Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu let out a satisfied belch, put his chopsticks down, and said to Xu Yi, "Not bad, I thought you couldn''t make it, but it turned out pretty good, here''s a reward of five thousand." "Uh... this..." Xu Yi was stunned, wasn''t it agreed that this meal was on me? "He''s giving it, just take it," Lu Hongbin shook his head with a wry smile. Xiaobu even rewarded his second brother; who are you to argue? "Alright then," Xu Yi resigned himself to the situation, what even is this! "Nothing left? No more!" Wu Qianmin looked at the empty porcelain bowl and felt incredibly disappointed. She turned and stared at Lu Xiaobu: "Lu Xiaobu, didn''t you think of leaving one for me?" "You said you weren''t eating," Lu Xiaobu patted his stomach. "I have one more in my bowl, take it!" Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Uhm..." Wu Qianmin stared at the last piece of cabbage in Lu Xiaobu''s bowl, caught in a dilemma. That''s Lu Xiaobu''s eating bowl after all, surely there would be his saliva in it. But if I don''t eat it, then there will be no more! To eat or not to eat? "If you''re not eating then, I..." Lu Xiaobu smacked his lips. "Dream on." Wu Qianmin quickly snapped up the cabbage and put it in her mouth. Then her pretty face flushed to her neckWhat am I doing? No, just now Lu Xiaobu probably was going to throw it away, I''m just saving it, yes, that''s right. Wu Qianmin found an excuse for herself that even she didn''t believe. "Hehe, indirect kiss." Lu Xiaobu looked at Wu Qianmin, his heart fluttering. This couldn''t be helped, who doesn''t think of that when full and warm! "Hmph, be careful or I''ll bite you to death!" Wu Qianmin huffed, her face turning even redder. "Bite?" Lu Xiaobu said with a meaningful tone. "Lu Xiaobu, ah!" Wu Qianmin wasn''t na?ve and instantly understood, she chased after Lu Xiaobu to hit him. Lu Xiaobu started running: "Big brother, I''m going to squander money!" "Wait, Young Master Bu, can you permit me to cook and sell this dish?" Xu Yi suddenly asked with immense hope towards Lu Xiaobu''s retreating back. "I guarantee it''ll make a huge profit!" "Ask my brother." The voice of Lu Xiaobu came back: "You''re talking to a squanderer about making money, are you out of your mind?" "I..." Xu Yi was speechlesswhat you said makes so much sense, I''m at a loss for words. "Xu Yi, can this dish really make money? Though it tastes great, the cost is high, if the price is too low, it won''t break even," Lu Hongbin immediately asked. "It can, it definitely can," Xu Yi said excitedly, then mysteriously added, "Boss, come with me." Lu Hongbin frowned and followed Xu Yi to the kitchen. "Look here." Xu Yi opened a pot that contained a small half-pot of liquid that looked like clear water. "Hiss!" Lu Hongbin slapped his thigh, "Right! This dish sounds extravagant, but it can actually make a lot of soup!" "Exactly, the essence of this dish is in the soup. As long as we hype up its extravagant reputation, we can appropriately raise the price and then quietly make a fortune." Xu Yi rubbed his hands together, visibly excited. "Great, fantastic! I''ll leave this task to you, and you must keep it a secret. Just say it was Xiaobu, that little spender, who came up with this. Double the cost and report that." Lu Hongbin laughed heartily: "This little spender, he spends extravagantly with style." He knew well that technologies like smartphone CPUs are valuable but definitely not something that can be monetized quickly; it had to be gradual. But this boiled cabbage is different! As long as it''s managed well, it can reap huge benefits in a short period of time. "Absolutely! This isn''t just any spender, this is practically the God of Wealth!" Stars began to appear in Xu Yi''s eyes. "God of Wealth my foot, I bet this little spender heard about this recipe somewhere, and he doesn''t even realize how deep it goes." Lu Hongbin cursed jokingly, but his eyes were full of pride. Just as Lu Hongbin guessed, Xiaobu didn''t know these things. He got the idea of boiled cabbage from a movie on Earth, remembering that a bunch of stuff in the movie could only be done once. But that''s not important, what''s important is he has to keep on spending extravagantly. "Alright, alright, I give up." He hadn''t run more than five hundred meters, and Xiaobu''s frail body was already panting and couldn''t take another step; he had no choice but to surrender to Wu Qianmin. "Little guy still dares to race me." Wu Qianmin triumphantly waved her fists, only slightly out of breath. "Sigh..." Xiaobu sighedThe road to extravagant spending is long and arduous, and he couldn''t even outrun a girl. But now that there''s 300,000 in the card, blowing through it would just be three attribute points; that''s still acceptable. "Where should I splurge?" Xiaobu stroked his chin, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Got it, the bar." "Why would you go to such a shady place? You know I absolutely won''t go there." Wu Qianmin was unhappy: "If I don''t go, you can''t go either." Xiaobu felt a headache coming on. His big brother had given him a strict order, if Wu Qianmin wasn''t with him, he couldn''t go anywhere. So in the past, his predecessors never went to such places because Wu Qianmin wouldn''t go. However, Xiaobu''s eyes darted around, and he suddenly said innocently: "Can''t blame me. Full stomach, idle mind, if you don''t let me do that, I have to find a place to do that." "Lu! Xiao! Bu! You!" Wu Qianmin was utterly furious: "What do you mean by ''that''?" "Don''t worry, I''ll just look, definitely won''t lay a finger!" Xiaobu hurriedly assured. "That''s a relief." Wu Qianmin breathed a sigh of relief, but then she realized what he meant and her face instantly turned red: "What does it matter to me whether you touch or not?" "Who knows?" Xiaobu looked up at the sky. "You!" Wu Qianmin ground her teeth in anger: "Fine! Let''s go, it''s not like it involves me anyway!" Though she spoke angrily, her heart somehow couldn''t muster any irritation, and for some reason, she found Xiaobu much more agreeable today, very much so! "Hehe." Xiaobu chuckled quietly. His body might not allow him to ''do that'', but watching is still okay! Apparently, the girls in there are very ''that''! Chapter 10 - 10 This Girl is Pretty Good (Please favorite, recommend, and vote) Chapter 10: Chapter 10 This Girl is Pretty Good (Please favorite, recommend, and vote)Lu Xiaobu and Wu Qianmin arrived at the largest nightclub Night of Intoxication. At the entrance, Wu Qianmin hesitated: "Xiaobu, maybe we shouldn''t go in. We can go to KTV; I''ll sing with you! I''ve heard there are many rules here, and it''s easy to be played if you don''t know them." "What''s there to fear?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "Rules are made by people, can I, a prodigal son, be afraid of rules?" "Eh..." Wu Qianmin was speechless, your logic is sound, I can''t argue with that. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Entering the nightclub, the loud heavy metal music immediately filled their minds, making them sway unconsciously, imbued with a lavish aura. Lu Xiaobu shook his head and swayed to the rhythm, then headed to the busiest bar counter. "What would you like?" Dressed fashionably, tall, in a black leather jacket paired with fiery red wavy hair, the passionate and flirtatious bartenderLiang Lan asked. Many men gathered around the bar, seemingly attracted to her. "Two juices," said Lu Xiaobu. He glanced at Liang Lan raising an eyebrowNice girl! Nightclubs indeed are great places. "Hmm?" Liang Lan frowned slightly, glanced at Lu Xiaobu, then at Wu Qianmin, and suddenly said, "It seems it''s your first time in a nightclub, I suggest you order some liquor, whether you drink it or not doesn''t matter." "Why? No beverages?" asked Lu Xiaobu. "It''s not that, but ordering a beverage can easily lead to misunderstandings," the bartender explained. "Men who order non-alcoholic drinks in nightclubs can be mistaken for gigolos, and I assume you wouldn''t want that." "That makes sense," nodded Lu Xiaobu. "What liquor would you like?" Liang Lan asked, relieved. Though she didn''t know Lu Xiaobu well, she could tell he was no ordinary person, and she didn''t want to see any trouble. "No liquor, keep the juices coming," Lu Xiaobu gestured grandly. "Sir, you?" Liang Lan was startled. "Give me the microphone." Lu Xiaobu took the mic, jumped onto the bar counter, and announced: "Everyone drink up, this round''s on Young Master!" "Yay!" The bar immediately buzzed with excitement, all eyes on Lu Xiaobu: "Thanks, Young Master!" Even many pretty girls began to gather around Lu Xiaobu, the apparent tycoon. "But I want juice, if someone calls me a gigolo, does that make me one?" Lu Xiaobu stood on the counter and shouted into the mic. "No, pure man, real man! Hahaha!" The atmosphere in the nightclub heated up even more. "Well said, another round on me," Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily: "Remember my name, the prodigal Lu Xiaobu!" "Thank you, real man!" "Lu Xiaobu! Prodigal!" "Lu Xiaobu! Prodigal! Lu Xiaobu!" The ambiance in the nightclub reached its peak! Countless beautiful women with seductive looks started making their way toward Lu Xiaobu. "Problem solved," Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers and whispered to the bartender. "Pfft!" The bartender laughed, he''s indeed a true prodigal! A problem that could have been solved with a drink, he splashed out twenty thousand instead. But this guy was really interesting; he outright admitted he was a prodigal without any inhibition. Suddenly, she felt an intense gaze; looking up, she realized it was Lu Xiaobu, taking advantage of his position from above. Not feeling shy, instead she flirtatiously smiled and provocatively pushed her chest out. Lu Xiaobu''s eyes widened so big, so round, so white, so deep, even the nipples were starting to protrude. "Like what you see?" a voice came. "Looks good," Lu Xiaobu replied subconsciously. "Are you still watching?" Wu Qianmin''s voice came through, slightly gritting her teeth. She didn''t know why, but seeing Lu Xiaobu''s straight gaze made her feel very uncomfortable. "Cough cough cough!" It was then that Lu Xiaobu realized it was Wu Qianmin''s voice, and he coughed before quickly jumping off the bar. He felt that if he kept looking, his weak body would start having a nosebleed. "You''re so generous, consider this juice on me." Liang Lan pushed two glasses of juice over, then pointed at the table and revealed a piece of paper with a sultry smile towards Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu looked down and saw a phone number with a heart drawn next to it. The crowd around them immediately began to jeer. This Night Drunkenness Bar attracts countless people every day eyeing Liang Lan, and now this newcomer has taken the lead. "Oh!" "Someone actually got Liang Lan''s phone number." "Rich kid Lu Xiaobu is awesome!" "..." "Vixen." Wu Qianmin also saw it and immediately said through gritted teeth. "Qianmin, come on, phone, I gotta save the number." Lu Xiaobu reached out to Wu Qianmin; he didn''t have his phone right now as it was with Wu Qianmin. "Not giving it." Wu Qianmin was still sulking. At this moment, a haughty voice suddenly came through. "Tsk tsk tsk, why act like a rich kid? Did you bring all your possessions here to chase girls?" The voice grew closer and finally arrived beside Lu Xiaobu. "Don''t even have a phone? I think this phone number should be mine!" Slap A phone was slammed onto the bar by this person. The sound drew everyone''s attention. "My God, it''s an Angel Brand phone, 8888!" "Such wealth!" "Smashing a phone around, so extravagant." "..." Liang Lan shook her head listening to these people''s commentsa bunch of clueless folks. That Lu Xiaobu, when he bought those two rounds of drinks earlier, didn''t even blink; those two rounds alone could buy several phones. But she also knew that the benefits of sharing just one or two glasses of drinks were far less impactful than smashing a phone. Lu Xiaobu ignored this person and grinned at Wu Qianmin: "Are you jealous?" "Jealous? Jealous of you? I''m not jealous of you at all!" Wu Qianmin retorted huffily. Lu Xiaobu ignored the person, and she couldn''t be bothered either; just an 8888 phone, and acting all rich in front of Lu Xiaobu? What a joke, Lu Xiaobu had already lost one and smashed another today. "Then give me the phone." Lu Xiaobu reached out. "Not giving it, just not giving!" Wu Qianmin pouted childishly. The thought of Lu Xiaobu wanting the phone to keep that seductress''s number made her unhappy. But... but, she was definitely not jealous, definitely not! However, as they ignored that person, he got more provoked: "Did you two paupers hear me? I said, give me the number, it''s not something you can possess." "Pauper? Are you talking about me? Honestly, I don''t like that name." Lu Xiaobu laughed. Chapter 11: Can’t Spend All the Money, Can’t Sleep [Please Favorite, Please Vote] Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Can''t Spend All the Money, Can''t Sleep [Please Favorite, Please Vote]"Hey, still pretending? You don''t even have a phone and you''re still pretending?" The man disdainfully glanced at Lu Xiaobu and patted his 8888 phone, clearly meaning something by it. His gaze often drifted towards Liang Lanthis woman was too perfect, with all the right curves. If she were in bed, it would be wildly satisfying, surely couldn''t leave the bed the next day. "Hey." Lu Xiaobu shook his head, looking at the man: "What''s your name?" "What? Wanna suck up to me? Not afraid to tell you, Ni Hao, ''Hao'' as in a wealthy chap!" Ni Hao said, lifting his head. "Teaching me to smash phones? You should get one first!" Ni Hao sneered ceaselessly, looking around at the people and laughing loudly: "Did you hear that? He wants to teach me how to smash phones! This is hilarious." Lu Xiaobu shook his head, yawned, then reached for Ni Hao''s 8888 phone and smashed it on the ground. Crack The phone shattered into pieces. Crack The people around also had their eyes shattered on the ground. Is this how you teach people to smash phones? Smashing other people''s phones? Aren''t you just a prodigal son? You''re clearly a scoundrel! "You damn!" Ni Hao immediately got furious, slammed the table, stood up, and swung his fist at Lu Xiaobu: "You dare smash my phone?!" "Your phone?" Lu Xiaobu pursed his lips: "Qianmin, call my original phone." "Oh." Wu Qianmin stopped being awkward, and called Lu Xiaobu''s original phone. "Hahaha, being rich means you can do whatever you want!" Suddenly, a weird ringtone came through, coming from the phone Lu Xiaobu just smashed. Everyone was stunned. "This isn''t this wastrel''s sound, huh?" "Whose phone is this?" "..." "How is this possible? I clearly..." Ni Hao was dumbfounded, his fist hanging in the air, unable to smash down. "You''ve never used this kind of phone, huh." Lu Xiaobu smiled: "Though this phone isn''t pretty, it has a strong anti-theft feature. Did you think you couldn''t make calls just by removing the card?" Wu Qianmin''s eyes rolled: "This wastrel threw this phone into the sewer this morning, you picked it up huh." She had to properly mock this ''wealthy chap''. Who can mock Lu Xiaobu? Now everyone understood, looking disdainfully at Ni Hao. "A fake wealthy man meets a real wealthy man." "Your face is so thick, using someone else''s discarded phone to show off in front of them?" "Smashing phones? Shameful, still thinking about picking up girls?" "..." "You, just wait for me." Ni Hao gritted his teeth, threw down a harsh word, turned his head and ran, now fully embarrassed. "Let''s continue, another round." Lu Xiaobu laughed loudly: "It''s still mine." The bar plunged into frenzy again. "Oye!" "Lu Xiaobu!" "Lu Xiaobu!" "Prodigal son Lu Xiaobu!" "..." "What now? Heard someone was causing trouble on my turf?" A man dressed in Emporio Armani couture, entered slowly through the bar door that Ni Hao pushed open. Behind him followed a group of men and women, all wearing domestic and international branded clothes, making them appear like a dazzling group of gold as they entered, catching everyone''s eyes! The women in the bar immediately saw stars in their eyes, wishing they could immediately go up and cling to a big leg, fishing for a wealthy man. The men, seeing this scene, felt envious but had no choice but to respectfully address him as "Young Master Zhang." "Young Master Zhang, it''s that guy causing trouble over there, he said your bar is a low-end place only poor people would come to," Ni Hao accused bluntly, without mincing words. "Oh? Seems like this guy is rich?" A faint anger laced Zhang Wenliang''s words. He had noticed that guy the moment he walked in. This bar was his family''s property. On his turf, everyone addressed him as Young Master Zhang, but that guy didn''t even turn his head? "Young Master Zhang, it''s not..." Liang Lan hurriedly tried to explain. What''s wrong with this Ni Hao? Upon hearing this, Ni Hao''s face darkened, and he quickly whispered: "Young Master Zhang, Sister Lan just gave that guy her personal phone number. Look at that piece of paper, it''s the phone number. I was so pissed, that''s why I did what I did." "What?!" Zhang Wenliang''s face turned utterly dark. He had long coveted Liang Lan. If his father hadn''t explicitly forbidden it, he would have forced himself on her already. Now, Liang Lan was acting so ungrateful. "Sister Lan, you go busy yourself." Zhang Wenliang cut off Liang Lan, walked over with his entourage, and approached Lu Xiaobu. "I..." Liang Lan was furious but couldn''t say anything. She knew full well what Zhang Wenliang was thinking, so she had to keep quiet now. The more she said, the more danger Lu Xiaobu would be in. Ni Hao''s face showed an evil grinWith Young Master Zhang here, Sister Lan was definitely out of the question, but that pure-looking schoolgirl by that wastrel''s side was top-notch too. Messing with her would surely be exhilarating. Leveraging Young Master Zhang''s influence, there''s certainly a lot to gain! By this time, the bar had gone utterly silent, everyone casting pitiful glances at Lu Xiaobu''s back, still messing around with Wu Qianminthey have no idea of the severity! "This friend, seems quite disrespectful." Zhang Wenliang looked down at Lu Xiaobu''s back. "What? I don''t qualify as one who should be respected?" Lu Xiaobu stopped horsing around, swirled the juice in his glass, spun his chair, backed against the bar, and faced Zhang Wenliang. The result. "Slap!" Seeing Lu Xiaobu, Zhang Wenliang didn''t say another word, and backhanded Ni Hao across the face: "Are you blind, you know who this is? Does making decisions concerning Young Master Lu concern you?" Lu Xiaobu is well-known in their circle. If it''s comparing family assets, there are many who have more than the Lu Family. But when it comes to spending money? Wasting wealth? Throwing away tens and hundreds of thousands like it''s nothing? Young Master Lu is definitely first, no question. Irrefutable. Thus, nitpicking Young Master Lu''s actions is not something small fry like Ni Hao can afford. This is the circle''s pride, regardless of friends or foes. "Young Master Zhang, you!" Ni Hao stood dumbfounded. What''s going on? And, Young Master Zhang, you''re calling this guy who tried to steal your woman, Young Master Lu? Isn''t this your territory? Can someone explain to me even if I crossed someone I shouldn''t have, it shouldn''t be this quick! The people inside the bar were also dumbfoundedjust like that? Face smacking? Young Master Zhang, what about your anger? But Zhang Wenliang continued, "Young Master Lu, I heard you never come to places like this! Did you come here today just to slap me across the face?" "Slap you across the face? Not interested. just that today I got more allowance than usual, nowhere to spend it, and can''t sleep if I don''t spend it all, so I had to come here and waste some money." Lu Xiaobu told the plain truth. Three hundred thousand is just three attribute points. How can he sleep without adding those attribute points? Yet, his calm words, like diamonds, shone in the bar, overshadowing the glimmers of the sons and daughters of gold. Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Uh..." Zhang Wenliang was stunned. "Uh..." The wealthy sons were stunned. "Uh..." Everyone in the bar was stunned. "Hey!" Wu Qianmin slapped her smooth forehead. Meanwhile, one phrase echoed in everyone''s mindsreal wastrel! "But, Young Master Lu, you talk big, but I heard you can''t even produce a mobile phone now. Isn''t that a bit embarrassing?" Zhang Wenliang said with a smile, filled with an aggressive vibe. Nor Hao has no right to lecture Lu Xiaobu, but he does! Chapter 12: True Paradise [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 12: Chapter 12: True Paradise [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]As soon as Zhang Wenliang finished speaking, the entire bar quieted down again. The people in the bar looked at each other, thinking that everything was settled just moments ago. Why did they suddenly start clashing again? "Of course, Young Master Lu, please don''t mind, I was just saying, if Young Master Lu can''t afford a smartphone, I wouldn''t mind gifting you one." Zhang Wenliang spoke with a chuckle, but his words were filled with malice. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He certainly knew Lu Xiaobu wasn''t short of money, but since Lu Xiaobu was without a phone now, why not mock him a bit. "Who says he doesn''t have a phone." Wu Qianmin directly took out the smartphone and placed it on the bar: "Take a good look." "This! This phone!" Zhang Wenliang saw the beautiful full-screen, gold-toned smartphone, and his eyes widened. After secretly comparing it with his own outdated and shabby 8888 phone, he suddenly felt the urge to smash his phone. Such a beautiful color, such a smooth appearance, this is what a rich person''s phone looks like! The people around also had their eyes glued. "Such a beautiful phone?" "Is it actually full-screen, with no buttons at all?" "Seamless, dazzling!" "So beautiful!" "..." "What''s wrong? Zhang Wenliang? Where''s your phone? Bring it out and let''s have a look." Wu Qianmin snorted. Zhang Wenliang, looking at the beautiful phone, secretly gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Sorry, I have a stomachache, I need to go to the restroom." After saying that, Zhang Wenliang pulled a bodyguard and left, completely ignoring Wu Qianmin''s words. "Hmph, serves you right for mocking Lu Xiaobu. What are you even posing as." Wu Qianmin snorted. This phone was given to her by Lu Xiaobu, and she couldn''t stand seeing Lu Xiaobu being mocked because of it. Lu Xiaobu watched Wu Qianmin''s girlish demeanor, delightedly laughingthis Wu Qianmin, was indeed siding with him. As for the attitudes of others, he wasn''t surprised at all. After all, stories about selling kidneys or staying nights just to buy phones on Earth were still vivid in his memory, let alone now when this was the world''s first smartphone. After turning a corner, Zhang Wenliang whispered to the bodyguard: "Go! Find me one! Find a phone exactly like this one!" "Young Master Zhang, this, I''ve never seen such a phone, and at this hour..." The bodyguard looked troubled. "It''s your problem, go, find it! No matter the cost!" Zhang Wenliang roared lowly, his eyes red, harboring a desire to snatch. "Yes!" The bodyguard could only leave looking troubled. Not just him, but also the young masters who came with Zhang Wenliang were all gritting their teeth, looking for that kind of phone. Meanwhile, in the bar, Lu Xiaobu''s phone clearly became a new topic and centerpiece. In their eyes, just the Angel Brand 8888 had amazed them, let alone this phone that clearly looked many times more luxurious than the 8888. "Young Master Lu Xiaobu..." One after another, the beauties in the bar targeted by the men, with their coy voices coming through, started leaning close to Lu Xiaobu, revealing more than they should, all to see if they could possibly get a same model phone. For a moment, Xiaobu was surrounded by various fair thighs and ample bosoms, truly in a land of allure, where he could touch several soft or firm parts simply by reaching out. "Beat it." But Wu Qianmin, like a fierce tigress, kept a close watch over them, protecting Lu Xiaobu, and guarding the phone as well. Lu Xiaobu quietly saved Liang Lan''s number on the phone and winked at her. "This spendthrift is quite the Casanova." Liang Lan covered her mouth and giggled lightly, accompanying the laughter, her overarching beauty quivered up and down, making hearts beat: "But I must say, that phone really is beautiful, I''m tempted too." In the noisy bar, Zhang Wenliang anxiously awaited his bodyguard''s return. "How did it go? Did you find it?" Zhang Wenliang asked excitedly. "No! Couldn''t find it anywhere in the city." The bodyguard smiled bitterly. "I had the guys run through all the phone stores in the city, couldn''t find the same model anywhere." "You useless trash!" Zhang Wenliang exploded in anger! The bodyguard remained silent, silently enduring. "Looks like I have to target that prodigal son Lu Xiaobu," Zhang Wenliang gritted his teeth. After making up his mind, Zhang Wenliang forced a smile and returned to the bar: "Young Master Lu, I''m sorry, I had a stomachache, it feels awful." "No problem, no problem, it''s the same with or without you," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. Zhang Wenliang''s face turned green with anger, what does "with or without you it''s the same" mean? This is my turf! But he could only endure it and continued with a smile: "Young Master Lu, would you be interested in playing a couple of rounds?" "Play what?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Gambling, of course, I''ve heard that Young Master Bu''s gambling skills are unparalleled in the world, I''ve always wanted to see it for myself." Zhang Wenliang said with a complimentWell, when it comes to being a fat sheep, his skills are unparalleled in the world; all the big casino owners kneel at the entrance when they hear Lu Xiaobu is coming. "Can I lose two hundred thousand?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Uh... Yes!" Zhang Wenliang had a pained look on his face, almost kneeling, what kind of question is that? "Then what are we waiting for, let''s go!" Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands, extremely excited. Everyone collapsedProdigal son! ... Soon, they cleared the place, set up the tables, all in one go. Liang Lan temporarily acted as the croupier, for the sake of fairness. "Let''s play ''Exploding Golden Flower'', minimum chips ten thousand, no cap, how about that?" Zhang Wenliang suggested. "Fine, whatever." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, he was a bit tired, he just wanted to lose quickly and go home to sleep. Liang Lan looked at Lu Xiaobu''s disinterested demeanor, and secretly worried for him; Zhang Wenliang was an old hand at gambling, although not invincible, but definitely cunning. However, as a croupier, all she could ensure was fairness. Dealing the cards. Both parties picked up their cards to take a look. Zhang Wenliang: "Young Master Lu, you speak first." "Let me think, Sister Lan, how much did I spend at the bar? Let''s deduct that first," Lu Xiaobu asked. "No need." Zhang Wenliang waved his hand: "Today''s expenses for Young Master Lu are on me, play boldly." "Really?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Of course, I can still afford two fruit juices," Zhang Wenliang said with a smile. "Uh... Young Master Zhang, it''s not just two fruit juices, Young Master Lu treated several rounds of drinks, probably about fifty thousand," Liang Lan explained. "Oops." Zhang Wenliang felt a pang in his liver, the game hasn''t even started, and fifty thousand is gone? But, since the words were already spoken, even if he had to swallow his own teeth he''d do it: "It''s on me, all of it." "Did you hear that? Young Master Zhang said, tonight''s drinks, Young Master Zhang is treating; I originally planned to treat," Lu Xiaobu said cheerfully. "Thank you, Young Master Xiaobu!" Cheers erupted in the bar. Zhang Wenliang''s mentality almost explodedIt''s clearly my money, why are you thanking Lu Xiaobu? And, wasn''t it only a few rounds? How did it become the whole night? Damn it, Lu Xiaobu, you screwed me over again! "Young Master Lu, speak quickly." Zhang Wenliang said through gritted teeth. "Okay, let''s go all in, three hundred thousand," Lu Xiaobu said casually. "Oops!" Zhang Wenliang was stunned. Chapter 13 I Don’t Want to Win Money! [Please Favorite, Please Vote] Chapter 13: Chapter 13 I Dont Want to Win Money! [Please Favorite, Please Vote]Brothers, I need recommendation votes! Its Monday, lets give Elder Feng some face! Listening to Lu Xiaobus spirited voice, Zhang Wenliang felt a pain in the liver. Blindly going all-in with 300,000? Whats the meaning of this? Could it be that Lu Xiaobu got a good hand? He looked at his own pair of Kings and hesitated. "Dont want." For the sake of steadiness, Zhang Wenliang ultimately chose not to call. "Young Master Zhang doesnt call, Young Master Bu wins." Liang Lan announced the result, pushing the 10,000 chip bottom bet to Lu Xiaobu. "Damn it, I dont want to win money." Lu Xiaobu wanted to cry without tears, throwing out his 236. Everyone was speechlessYou dont want to win money? Showing off too much, huh! "Um..." Zhang Wenliang, looking at the 236 that didnt make a flush, suddenly thought about asking his men to buy a couple of bottles of emergency heart-saving pills. Damn it, hes blasting me?! At the same time, several women took advantage of Wu Qianmin being unattentive, pouncing on Lu Xiaobu, rubbing and brushing their curves against him, trying to catch the wastrels attention. "Get lost." Wu Qianmin shooed them away angrily, seeing Lu Xiaobus mouth twisted in amusement, she felt somewhat stuffy with annoyance. The second round began. Look at the cards. Liang Lan: "Young Master Zhang, your turn to speak." Zhang Wenliang looked at his small straight, 234, and thought about it: "Lets start with 20,000." "All-in." Lu Xiaobu went all-in again. "I *&*#%&%" Zhang Wenliang broke down: "Dont want." He felt that even Lu Xiaobu couldnt possibly use the same tactic consecutively; this time it must be a high hand. Liang Lan: "Young Master Zhang doesnt call, Young Master Bu wins." "Won again, boring." Lu Xiaobu displayed an unwilling face as he threw out his cards: 68J, not a flush, a rubbish hand. "Li Jin, go, buy a bottle of emergency heart-saving pills." Zhang Wenliang felt like crying and called out to his bodyguard. Liang Lan suddenly felt a bit of pity for Zhang Wenliang, so pitiful: "Young Master Zhang? Will you continue?" "Continue, I dont buy it," Zhang Wenliang shouted. Deal the cards. Lu Xiaobus turn to speak. This time, Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to look at his cards: "All-in." Zhang Wenliang gritted his teeth: "Ill call!" He had a straight flush in hand; no matter if Lu Xiaobu was blasting him or not, he had confidence. Reveal the cards. Liang Lan: "Young Master Bu, three of a kind wins!" "Pfft!" Zhang Wenliang spurted out old blood, snatching the emergency heart-saving pills from the bodyguard Li Jins hand and stuffed them into his mouth. "Hey, I really dont want to win money." Lu Xiaobu, looking at the system displayed squandering amount: negative 330,000, also felt helplessthis is not how it should be. The people in the bar were speechlessYoung Master Bu, please dont provoke Young Master Zhang anymore, as you keep claiming you dont want to win money while taking the opponent apart. Liang Lan looked at Lu Xiaobu, her eyes narrowed slightlyYou wastrel, youve piqued my interest now. Do you truly not care, or are you deliberately trapping Zhang Wenliang? Zhang Wenliang felt like dying, 300,000 ah, not the same as the millions of pocket money Lu Xiaobu gets a month, this was his entire monthly allowance, and it was gone just like that. Zhang Wenliangs eyes reddenednot okay, cant just let it end like this. "Continue!" Zhang Wenliang said with bloodshot eyes: "I have a share in this bar, definitely worth 600,000, no less, Ill bet it against you." "Young Master Zhang." The whole room was shocked, this wasnt just for fun anymore, whatever the outcome, this was now getting to the level of the elders of both families. "Everyone shut up!" Zhang Wenliang shouted with red eyes. A head may be beheaded, blood may flow, but pride cannot be lost. "Xiaobu." Wu Qianmin also got worried, grabbing Lu Xiaobu.

Lu Xiaobu patted Wu Qianmins delicate hand, reassuring her. Hes a wastrel, not a gambler; money cant buy happiness is his principle. The stakes of the game had now risen to this level, and he was no longer enjoying it. Liang Lan secretly noddedknowing when to advance or retreat, this wastrel was indeed not ordinary. "Dont bet? Whether we bet or not isnt for you to decide." Zhang Wenliangs eyes were red as he slapped the table, "Won a bit of money and now you want to leave? No way! Li Jin!" As soon as he finished speaking, his bodyguard Li Jin immediately blocked the bars entrance. "Whats this? You want to get physical with me?" Lu Xiaobus expression darkened. "I wouldnt go as far as to get physical; I, Zhang Wenliang, am not that low. But you definitely wont be able to leave through this door. My bodyguard here is an ex-Special Soldier." Zhang Wenliang said, "Young Master Lu, I just want you to gamble with me one last time, regardless of the outcome, I, Zhang Wenliang, will accept it." "Im telling you, Im not happy," Lu Xiaobu said slowly, word by word, "Im telling you one last time, I dont want to bet." "Dont bet, then you can forget about leaving," Zhang Wenliang also stared fixedly at Lu Xiaobu, "Young Master Lu, you didnt bring any bodyguards." Wu Qianmin tightly clutched Lu Xiaobus arm, extremely nervousit was all her fault, she shouldnt have agreed to come to this kind of place with Lu Xiaobu. The entire bar became tense, everyone held their breath for Lu Xiaobu, it was clear that Young Master Zhang was determined to get Lu Xiaobu. "Bang." Just then, the bars main door was suddenly kicked open, and Zhang Wenliangs Special Soldier bodyguard Li Jin was sent flying out, lying on the ground. "Young Master, Zhang Meng reporting." That lackey Lu Xiaobu picked up at the phone store during the dayZhang Meng, appeared at the doorway. "Good, perfect timing, reward five thousand," Lu Xiaobu said with joy, waving his hand grandly. "Thank you, Young Master," Zhang Meng responded, his expression seemingly happy, but lacking the eagerness he showed in the morning. "Young Master Lu really knows how to keep a low profile," Zhang Wenliangs face grew even darker, "So, you were ready to smash my place all along, huh?" "Im very unhappy today," Lu Xiaobu twisted his neck, pointing towards the door, "Everyone whos not involved should leave now." "Thank you, Young Master Bu," the crowd hurriedly expressed gratitude. This was the difference. Until the very end, Zhang Wenliang did not let them leave, even though it was his own place. Then look at Young Master Bu, who immediately told them to leave. After most of the people had gone. "Zhang Meng, start smashing, keep going until Im satisfied." "Yes!" Zhang Meng acknowledged. While speaking, he swung a chair and smashed it into the liquor cabinets. "Bang." Countless expensive bottles of alcohol burst open. The entire bar was now filled with the fragrance of liquor. Zhang Meng did not stop his hands and feet, smashing everything in frenzy. "Damn it! Li Jin, what the hell are you doing?" Zhang Wenliang was furious. "Well, Young Master Zhang, I..." Li Jin was a bit troubled. "What I? If you dont fight, then get out!" Zhang Wenliang bellowed even louder. Li Jin, with a troubled look on his face, ultimately walked up to Zhang Meng. "You want to fight me?" Zhang Mengs expression was calm, but it put immense pressure on Li Jin. "Instructor, we each serve our own master..." Li Jin found it difficult to speak. At these words, the already enraged Zhang Wenliang was dumbfounded, "Instructor? Hes your instructor?" What the hell was this? His own bodyguards instructor was Lu Xiaobus bodyguard; how could he even fight? "Instructor?" Wu Qianmin was stunned too. She remembered Zhang Wenliang mentioning his bodyguard was a Special Soldier. So, Zhang Meng was the instructor of a Special Soldier?! What was even scarier was that Lu Xiaobu hired such a person for just ten thousand a month? Not to mention far off, even the salary Zhang Wenliang gave to his own bodyguard wouldnt be fifty thousand, right? No, was Lu Xiaobus luck? It was unthinkably good! Thinking back about the morning, she even said Zhang Meng was a fraud, which made her face burn with embarrassment! Zhang Meng stared at the bodyguard in front of him, took another step forward: "Fight if you want to fight, otherwise beat it, dont wail like a baby!" "Alright, Instructor, forgive my insolence!" "Ha!" Li Jin let out a deep cry and swung his fist in a punch. "Too slow, too weak, filled with mercy towards the enemy, what have you been doing since you left the military?!" Zhang Meng roared, deflecting the bodyguards punch with his left hand, then fiercely punched down with his right hand. Li Jins complexion changed, and he quickly moved to block. "Bang." Li Jin was forcefully pushed back several steps, leaning against the bar, showing pain on his face. This so-called Special Soldier bodyguard was no match for one move from Zhang Meng. Was this the power of an instructor?! Chapter 14 Suitable Vases for the Bedroom, Hehe [Please Favorite, Please Recommend, Big - of 3000] Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Suitable Vases for the Bedroom, Hehe [Please Favorite, Please Recommend, Big Chapter of 3000]Zhang Meng glanced at the retreating bodyguard and continued smashing. "Bang bang bang!" The bar was filled with the sound of various objects being smashed. "Lu Xiaobu, have you had enough?" Zhang Wenliang gritted his teeth and said, "I admit defeat today!" The bar now could hardly be called a bar, it was no different from a garbage dump. This bodyguard of Lu Xiaobu was really dedicated; now, you couldnt even see a palm-sized piece of debris. But what has been smashed so far is just superficial, still in a state that could be salvaged. "Enough? Not enough. Young Master is not happy," Lu Xiaobu said, sitting on the only remaining chair, continuing to drink his unfinished juice. "You!" Zhang Wenliang was so angry that he stuffed the bottle of emergency heart-saving pills into his mouth, but then he remembered there wasnt even water left in his grand bar, and spat them all out angrily. When has Zhang Wenliang ever endured such humiliation? He couldnt win at betting or fighting, if this gets out, he wont step out anymore! As for calling the police? He, the great Young Master Zhang, would never stoop so low! His principle has always beentheir circles problems are resolved among themselves! Just lost to Lu Xiaobu, he accepts it! "Young Master Bu, could you give me some face?" Sister Lan suddenly walked up to Lu Xiaobu and said with a smile. "Sure, anyway Im also tired," Lu Xiaobu said, eyeing her smooth, silky long legs and gulped, "But, Sister Lan must come with me." "Oh?" Liang Lans beautiful eyes curved into a smile: "Youre eyeing me now? What do you want me to do for you?" "Just to be pleasing to the eyes," Lu Xiaobu said cheerfully, "With Sister Lans figure and looks, just watching you could make me eat two more bowls of rice." "Pfft, you prodigal, so youre taking me back just for two more bowls of rice," Liang Lan laughed, her interest in this prodigal grew, "Then how much salary will you give me?" "The same as others, ten thousand a month, tips are separate," Lu Xiaobu said, continuing to stare at her long legs. "Not afraid that sister is just a vase?" Liang Lan said playfully. "Prodigal paired with a vase? Pretty good. Besides, I want you to be a vase anyway." Lu Xiaobu suddenly hugged Liang Lans long, elastic leg and rubbed it, drooling as he said, "And such a fine vase, you can tell with one touch that this vase is most suited for the bedroom." Liang Lan did not expect Lu Xiaobu to pull such a move and was momentarily stunned, feeling a rush of heat surge through her body, her face blushed to her neck. Zhang Wenliang was burning with jealousythis was the woman he coveted but couldnt have, and now Lu Xiaobu was taking her. But right now the bar was more important, let go of one woman for it. "Lu! Xiaobu!" Wu Qianmin grabbed Lu Xiaobus ear and yanked him back, "Youre acting like a hooligan, Sister Lan, dont agree to him." She was feeling a mix of joy and worry. Worried that this prodigal actually liked this kind of mature woman, what about her... no, it doesnt involve her, she doesnt like Lu Xiaobu. Glad that if the prodigal treated Liang Lan this way, she definitely wouldnt go with him... but that seems unrelated to her either. Uh... no, I definitely dont have feelings for Lu Xiaobu, I am just... just... just completing my mission, yes, thats it! Liang Lan, initially a bit blushing and feeling warm from the touch, laughed lightly upon seeing this, shaking all over, which caused an even greater distraction for Lu Xiaobu. Then Liang Lans eyes sparkled with contemplation, and suddenly she smiled, "Alright, then thats settled. Ill be a vase for once, its been a while since I heard such a compliment." After speaking, she turned to Zhang Wenliang and said, "Young Master Zhang, tell General Zhang, I saved his bar, almost repaid what I owed. Thats it. Im leaving." Using Lu Xiaobu to break free from Zhang Familys control, a good deal indeed. Whether she stays by Lu Xiaobus side depends on the skills of this flirty prodigal. But, why did Lu Xiaobu suddenly embrace her like that? Was it really just to take advantage? "Zhang Meng, weve profited enough, no need to smash anymore, lets go." Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu was extremely happy, leaving with Zhang Meng and Liang Lan, and Wu Qianmin, who was sulking while observing Liang Lans impressive figure, all striding away. The bar was left with the disheartened Zhang Wenliang. Not long after, a middle-aged man stormed in angrily, saw Zhang Wenliangs state, and slapped him. "Slap!" "You useless!" "Dad?" Zhang Wenliang was stunned, "Is it necessary? Its just trashing a bar, the news hasnt even gotten out, it wont affect us." "The bar itself is trivial, but you let Liang Lan go!" Zhangs father roared, "Do you know who she is? Shes the CEO I painstakingly hired for the group, she came to the bar to scout because of her request, and just like that, you sold her off? Even if you gave Lu Xiaobu this whole hotel, it wouldnt match Liang Lans value!" "Just a Liang Lan," Zhang Wenliang still didnt comprehend. "Just a Liang Lan?" Zhangs father slapped him again, "She has a nickname called Tian Jilan! Just think about it! Youre grounded for a month, Im going now to find the Lu Family, hoping to salvage this. Damn it, youre even worse than a prodigal!" Zhang Wenliang heard the name Tian Jilan and was totally dumbfounded. He suddenly slapped himself harder than his father ever did. "Tian Jilan, Tian Jilan! The unknown woman who, its said, could elevate ones business by a whole level just by hiring her? No wonder my dad didnt let me mess with Liang Lan! And that damn Lu Xiaobu, the profligate, benefits instead? Compared to Liang Lan, whats a bar worth anyway?! Im such a loser! A loser!" ... Regardless of Zhang Wenliangs regret, Lu Xiaobu and his group headed back. "Xiaobu, how did you know Zhang Meng was so formidable this morning?" Wu Qianmin couldnt help but ask. Hearing this question, Zhang Meng himself pricked up his ears. Liang Lan also came over; she too wanted to find out how Lu Xiaobu managed to hire such a capable person for just ten thousand yuan. It was clear that Zhang Meng was not the same type as her. "How would I know?" Lu Xiaobu laughed carelessly: "I just figured out Zhang Meng was a military man, and he seemed quite embarrassed about accepting the money he deserved. I thought he must be desperate for money. I told you during the day, it didnt matter if I was conned, as I wanted to help a serviceman. After all, young master here is rich, and thats a profligates pride!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Wu Qianmin facepalmed, speechless. But a tear appeared in the corner of Zhang Mengs eye, they say a man does not easily cry, it only happens when deeply hurt. He explained somewhat choked up: "Thank you, Young Master, my mother urgently needs money for surgery. If it werent for that, I wouldnt have considered earning money that way." "Ah?" Lu Xiaobu was stunned, then quickly asked, "How is our mom doing now?" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, a tender look appeared in Liang Lans eyesthis reckless spender, the more you look at him, the more endearing he becomes, casually calling her our mom which feels so heartwarming. "With the money the young master gave, its enough for the surgery," said Zhang Meng, his heart also warmed. "Bullshit, did you borrow money?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and pulled out his bank card: "Here, todays tip." "This!" Zhang Meng was startled. "Cut the crap, take it. Youre my man, whats borrowing money got to do with anything? Isnt that embarrassing?" Lu Xiaobu said dismissively: "You can go now, nothing else to do here. Go stay with our mom. Ill visit her tomorrow." "Okay, thanks, Young Master. Ill drive you home first and then head to the hospital." Zhang Meng clenched his teeth; he indeed had borrowed a lot of money, and he figured since the young master called it a tip, it would probably be about the same as they discussed earlier today. He had already decided to follow the young master loyally. What he didnt notice was that Wu Qianmin and Liang Lan both had thoughtful expressions. Zhang Meng didnt know, but they didthey knew there was six hundred thousand in that card. But Lu Xiaobu deliberately hid the amount, the reason for that probably doesnt need explaining. Thinking this, the two women looked at the prodigal young man with even gentler eyes. At that moment, Wu Qianmins old phone rang. Wu Qianmin: "Hello?" "Good day, is this Ms. Wu Qianmin? We are from the moving company, tomorrow..." "No need to come tomorrow," said Wu Qianmin hurriedly. "Ah? What?" "Dont worry, Ill pay the breach fee, just dont come," she said firmly. "Alright." "Qianmin?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Its nothing, nothing, its a pizza I ordered, I dont want it anymore," Wu Qianmin cheerily said. Moving? Unlikely. What moving? Her firm decision to move in the morning had already dissipated. If its Lu Xiaobu now, she was quite happy to continue to accompany him. Of course, its definitely not because she likes him. Liang Lan smiled silently to herself on the side. Mysterious prodigal, Im really more and more interested in you! Wonder how many more surprises you can give me? Can you make me stay? Lu Xiaobu didnt know what the two women were thinking, he only knew that he had spent three hundred thousand, and wow, he could buy attributes now. After hesitating between sexual ability and health for a while, he finally chose to buy health, because even if one has virility, without a good body, its useless. As he acquired three health attribute points, a warm flow suddenly surged through his body, instantly reviving his tired self, making Lu Xiaobu shiverawesome! "Today folks, today Im really happy," Lu Xiaobu sang excitedly. Lu Xiaobus odd singing instantly made the three people behind him burst into laughter, further brightening their moods. Chapter 15: Scaring Them to Death [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Scaring Them to Death [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Family. The Lu Family should have been resting by now, yet the whole place was brightly lit. "I have something to say!" Lu Hongbin, Lu Wenhao, and Father Lu said in unison. "Uh..." The three of them were stunned. "Eldest, you go first." Father Lu made the decision. "Dad, try this dish first." Lu Hongbin mysteriously presented a plate of boiled cabbage in plain water. "Boiled cabbage?" Father Lu was surprised: "Is this all youre giving your dad?" "Dad, if you dont want it, give it to me." Lu Wenhao was drooling on the side. "Eat, why not eat? With you making such a fuss, this dish must be extraordinary." Father Lu, shrewd as he was, immediately picked up some with his chopsticks. Then. "Hmm..." Father Lus eyes widened, and after a long time, he spoke with endless aftertaste: "Delicious, absolutely delicious. I dont even know what words to use to describe it. It looks plain, but the aftertaste is lingering, fragrant but not greasy, top-notch!" "Tastes good, right?" Lu Hongbin smiledthis wastrel son came up with a dish that even conquered our old man, awesome! "Was this developed by Xu Yi?" Father Lu picked up the bowl with clear soup and downed it in one go: "Is there any more?" "I wont tell you who developed it yet, let me first tell you how this dish is made." Lu Hongbin said teasingly. After Lu Hongbin finished explaining the recipe, Father Lu was astounded: "So extravagant? So many exquisite ingredients just for a cabbage?" "So, Dad, how much should this dish be priced?" Lu Hongbin smiled. "How much?" Father Lu chuckled bitterly: "Just the cost of the ingredients you mentioned is no less than a thousand yuan, so how much for this dish?" "Yeah." Lu Hongbin smiled craftily: "Ive currently priced it at 998." "Thats a loss then." Father Lu frowned and then had a flash of insight: "Are you pulling a fast one on me, you rascal? Youre skirting the main issue, these ingredients may be expensive, but that doesnt mean they can only make this little amount of soup!" "Sure enough, I cant hide it from you, truly deserving of the title of an old chef." Lu Hongbin laughed. "Joking, you think you can deceive me?" Father Lu chuckled: "Stop beating around the bush, whats the profit margin on this dish?" "Fifteen times." Lu Hongbin enunciated clearly, his eyes gleaming with gold: "And that doesnt even include indirect profits. Ive roughly calculated that with proper promotion and operation, it wouldnt be difficult to earn an additional five or six million a year." "Great! Thats fantastic!" Father Lu was instantly overjoyed: "This is Xu Yis invention... No, wait, such a wasteful dish, could it be... Xiaobu, that wastrel?" "Impressive, impressive, you guessed it right away." Lu Hongbin looked admiringly. "Good! Good! Good!" Father Lu was exceptionally excited: "Our Xiaobu can even make money from his wastefulness, if we spread this around, itd scare everyone to death, hahaha!" "Dad, dont get too excited, thats just a small sum." Lu Wenhao said dismissively. "What do you mean?" Father Lu was puzzled. "Xiaobu has also squandered out several billion." Lu Wenhao, without any elaborate schemes, stated straightforwardly: "He stumbled upon mobile CPU manufacturing technology and a technical genius. If he can get it off the ground, were talking about profits in the billions." "My heavens! This Xiaobu..." Father Lu was astonished, his second son was not one to lie; billions meant billions! "Of course, its not easy to cash out at the moment; we have to take it slow." Lu Wenhao shrugged and said, "But this money will be ours sooner or later." "Then, about keeping it a secret..." Father Lu stopped mid-sentence, "My worries are unnecessary. With your eldest brother around, Im sure hes got it covered." "Yes, Dad, its all taken care of." Lu Hongbin gave a wry smile and shook his head, "You have no idea. That Mr. Li was like he was under some spell cast by Xiaobu, completely devoted! Im impressed!" "Dont be impressed just yet, your brother just shocked me, now let me give you a shock," Father Lu said with a smile. "What is it?" the two brothers asked. "That guy with the last name Zhang called me just now, saying Xiaobu smashed one of his hotels," Father Lu said with a chuckle. "So he smashed it, big deal." Lu Hongbin waved his hand, "Xiaobu might be heartless and thoughtless, but Qianmin is by his side, there must have been a reason for the smashing." "Youre right. But thats not the main point." Father Lu said with a sly smile, "Our familys Xiaobu, he managed to coax Liang Lan back." "Liang Lan?" Lu Hongbin frowned, thought for a while, but came up with nothing. "Could it be Tian Jilan? I heard about this legendary senior back in school," Lu Wenhao suddenly said, shocked. "What?! Tian... Tian... Tian Jilan?" Lu Hongbin got scared, being a businessman he certainly knew of Tian Jilans reputation. "Thats right, its Tian Jilan," Father Lu confirmed with a laugh, "I heard that Zhang guy took advantage of her goodwill, and wanted her to be his CEO, but... heh heh, now shes been brought back by our Xiaobu, hahaha! I can just imagine the look on Zhangs face right now!" "Oh my god!" Lu Hongbin picked up his cup of tea and downed a couple of gulps to calm himself down, "Seriously! Im impressed!" Seeing his eldest sons reaction, Father Lu felt a bit smug, "Do you know how much Xiaobu spent to bring her back?" Lu Wenhao and Lu Hongbin glanced at each other, "A monthly salary of ten thousand, tips not included!" "Heh, how did you know?" Father Lu was taken aback. "Because, that tech emperor was offered the same," Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao said at the same time. "Oh!" The three looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter. "However, let me make this clear, Liang Lan is not someone to be trifled with. Now that she has recognized Xiaobu, lets not get involved and let things take their course. Especially you, Eldest, dont set your sights on Liang Lan," Father Lu warned at the end. "How could I? Its just wishful thinking," Lu Hongbin said with a wry smile, shaking his head. "By the way, now that we have several more talented individuals, shouldnt we prepare things like housing and cars?" Father Lu said. "Well, I suggest we leave that to Xiaobu to handle, we just provide the funds. Otherwise, if Xiaobu isnt happy with it, itll have been a waste," Lu Hongbin suggested. "Right, right, right, that was thoughtless of me," Father Lu patted his head. "But we could consider getting a bodyguard," Lu Hongbin continued. "No need for that either, I was so focused on talking about Liang Lan that I forgot about someone else," Father Lu said with a wave of his hand, smiling, "Xiaobu has also taken someone in, a Special Soldier instructor, Zhang Meng, same price. The bar smashing? It was him covering for Xiaobu." "This... Xiaobus luck is defying the heavens! A tech emperor, a Tian Jilan, and a Special Soldier instructor, all for ten thousand each! My god!" Lu Hongbin was somewhat collapsing. "Youve got to be impressed!" Lu Wenhao also sighed. "Oh, and one more thing. Qianmin is not moving out either," Father Lu continued. sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Eh... Dad, lets stop here for today. I need a moment to process," Lu Hongbin said helplesslythis little spendthrift got all this done in one day, catching up to what he did for half his lifetime! Chapter 16 Let’s Show It to Young Master Together [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Lets Show It to Young Master Together [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu sent Zhang Meng to the hospital and asked Liang Lan to stay over at Qianmins house for the night. Finally, he returned home and called out, "Dad, big brother, second brother, Im back." "Xiaobu, you were quite impressive today," Lus father said with a chuckle, his eyes filled with affection. "That guy was bullying too much. I said I didnt want to bet, but he insisted," Lu Xiaobu shrugged. "Im not blaming you," Lus father said, patting Lu Xiaobus head: "What I mean is, from now on, you must keep Zhang Meng by your side. You cant lose your temper like today when youre alone. If you get hurt, our whole family will have to fight to the death with that Zhang surname." "I got it," Lu Xiaobu said with a smile, feeling an immense warmth in his heart. "Alright, go to bed now. Remember, you have more subordinates now. You need to give them more than just a salary; their benefits need to be good too. We wont handle that, you go ahead and take care of it." Lus father laughed: "You know, your brothers are quite envious of your people; if you dont treat them well, be careful or your big brother might poach them from you." "Dad, when did I ever say that," Lu Hongbin was dragged into this, "But Im really envious, Xiaobu, when big brother needs help, you cant be stingy." "Me too," Lu Wenhao added, not wanting to be outdone. "Sure thing, sure thing," Lu Xiaobu chuckled with a grin. If people outside heard this, they would think that Lu Xiaobu, the familys prodigal son, was now the most important person in the family, with Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao both seeking his favor; surely, everyone would be shocked. Lu Xiaobu went upstairs to sleep, pleased with himself. He had been worn out from the days activities, so he fell right into dreamland as soon as his head hit the pillow. He was asleep, but Wu Qianmin, who had just finished showering, was lying in bed wearing a towel, swinging her delicate pale legs that made ones mouth water, excitedly holding a smartphone: "Such a beautiful phone debuted today, the internet must be going crazy. Nope, I have to check it out." She felt very proud; she wanted to see the envious, jealous, hateful comments of othersYou dont have it, but I do, Lu Xiaobu gave it to me, hmph! However, while there were posts about the smartphone, what she found was a chorus of boos. "Whats this, another companys all show no substance?" "Exactly, it looks fragile. Its not water-resistant or shockproof; only a prodigal would use this kind of phone." "Disperse, disperse, editors shouldnt write about such things anymore." "..." "What is this all about, are they blind?" Wu Qianmin jumped up angrily: "You all are the ones with style over substance! Im telling you, the phone that Lu Xiaobu created is incredibly good! A million times better than your phones! A million times! Its infuriating!" Liang Lan, with just a towel wrapped around her, brought steam with her as she walked out of the bath, the towel hanging high off her impressive figure, revealing the tender smoothness of her calves like carved jade, an alluring sight. Any man who saw it would surely have a nosebleed. While she was drying her hair with a hairdryer, she asked: "Whats wrong? Little sister?" She and Wu Qianmin had already become good friends. Liang Lan, experienced in many battles, found it easy to deal with a young girl. "Its those ignorant people again. They are belittling the smartphone that Lu Xiaobu created," Wu Qianmin huffed. "Let me take a look," Liang Lan glanced at it and laughed: "Its not worth getting angry about. Its clear that someone doesnt want the Young Masters phone to become popular, they are deliberately slandering it." "Deliberately slandering?" Wu Qianmin was taken aback: "Who would do such a thing for no reason?" "Obviously, someone whose interests are threatened," Liang Lan said with a smile: "The business world is like a battlefield, its either kill or be killed." "You mean, Angel Group?" Wu Qianmin caught on. "Not necessarily, but very likely," Liang Lan said, smiling. "Being targeted by such a large corporation, Xiaobu wont have trouble, right?" Wu Qianmin suddenly became worried. "Dont worry, theyre just using these little tricks. But if they really want to cause trouble for the Young Master... hmph, theyll find out who theyve messed with. After all, Im also someone whos being paid," Liang Lans eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a strong confidencedid they really think Tian Jilan was just a vase? "Sister, your figure is so good." After relaxing a bit, Wu Qianmin couldnt help but be drawn to Liang Lans impressive, upright figure. Then comparing it with her own, she said dejectedly. "What, want to develop faster?" Liang Lan smiled seductively. "Sister, do you have a way?" Wu Qianmin brightened up. "Yeah, just let Young Master knead it for you, thatll do." Liang Lan chuckled mischievously, "Sooner or later youll have to show him and let him knead it! Three circles to the left, three to the right, now round, now flat." "Sister, youre... so annoying." Wu Qianmins face immediately turned bright red, but she didnt concede, "Sister, do you have to show him too?" "Of course, Im showing it just for Young Master." Liang Lan wasnt embarrassed at all. Instead, she stood tall, teasing Wu Qianmin. "No way." Wu Qianmin suddenly panicked. "Why not?" Liang Lan smirked, "I thought you didnt like Young Master." "I dont like him, but... but..." Wu Qianmin stumbled for words. "Lets not talk about that for now, just show your sister first." Liang Lan smirked and tugged off Wu Qianmins towel, exposing her budding jade-like body to the air. "Aiya!" Wu Qianmin, blushing with embarrassment, started frolicking and wrangling with Liang Lan, "Then let me see yours too." "Alright, then Ill just open the window and call Young Master to join in." Liang Lan feigned a move to open the window. "Dont." Wu Qianmins body was burning hot, and she quickly pounced to stop her; her bedroom window faced Lu Xiaobus directly. Both of them were completely undressed! What would happen if Lu Xiaobu saw everything? The two beauties, one mature and one pure, were now playfully wrestling in a tangle; the scenery was truly a spectacle of towering peaks and dense ravines, a boundless vision of spring... However, no one was fortunate enough to witness this scene, as the only one who could have, Lu Xiaobu, was fast asleep! If he knew what he had missed, he would definitely exclaimwhat a colossal mistake! ... Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They were laughing and romping, but Zhang Meng in the hospital felt like crying. "Young Master..." Zhang Meng sat by the hospital bed, holding a bank card in hand, looking up and holding back tears in his eyes. He had just found out that Young Master had given him six hundred thousand. Thats six hundred thousand! Simply handed to him just like that. He was certain that Young Master didnt intend to buy him off, but had sincerely wanted to help him. What echoed continuously in his mind were Young Masters words"our mom", "my people cant owe others", "even if I am being conned, I am willing". There was no pitiful look, no patronizing attitude, and certainly none of the ugly faces of his villainous relatives who bullied his soft-hearted mother, conned him out of his demobilization pay, and now refused to return even a single cent, let alone lend any! "Oh child, what are you doing here?" The old lady on the bed woke up, saying weakly, "Why arent you accompanying the benefactor? Do you want to anger me to death? That person has been greatly kind to us; we cant repay kindness with ingratitude!" "Mom, rest assured, Young Master told me to come here. I will pick up Young Master in the morning." Hearing his mothers words, Zhang Meng quickly wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and held his mothers withered hand. "Good, thats good. Remember, we cannot disappoint our benefactor." Mother Zhang sighed in relief. "Mom, dont worry, I will swear to protect Young Masters safety to the death." Zhang Meng made a mans vow beside his mother. Mother Zhang nodded in satisfaction and then hurried Zhang Meng along, "Im fine here, go to him now. Obey your mother, go!" "Mom..." Zhang Meng couldnt help but smile wryly, "What kind of mother hastens her son away like this? Right, I have something to take care of first." "Whats that?" Mother Zhang was surprised. "Repay the money! Young Master said Im his man; I cant owe others and bring shame upon him." Zhang Meng stood up and spoke earnestly. "You..." Mother Zhang was a bit exasperated and amused, "Isnt the money you owe to our benefactor also a debt?" "Thats different." Zhang Meng shook his head and walked away to make calls to repay the debt. He was a simple man, not accustomed to twists and turns; all he knew was that as Young Masters loyal follower, he could not allow Young Master to lose face! Chapter 17 Riding the Tiger [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Riding the Tiger [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The next day, before Lu Xiaobu even got out of bed, the entire Lu Family was bustling with activity. Lu Dad, the old chef, unusually decided to cook himself. "Zhang Meng, come in and have some food. You havent eaten yet, have you?" Lu Hongbin called out to Zhang Meng, who was standing at the door, sturdy like an iron pillar. "No need." Zhang Meng replied curtly, motionless, scanning the surroundings with an eagle-like gaze. "Forget it, big brother, theres no use calling. Ive figured it out, unless Xiaobu gives the order, nobody elses words work." Yawning, Lu Wenhuo said, "Hes been here since dawn, standing at the door. I asked him to come in and sit for a while, but he didnt." "Go wake up Xiaobu. Its Monday, hes got school today," directed Lu Dad. "Alright, Ill go wake him." Lu Wenhuo took on the task without refusal, for a study nerd, nothing is more important than school. Unwillingly, Lu Xiaobu was lured out of bed by Lu Wenhuos threat and bribe and made his way downstairs. "Young Master." Zhang Meng saluted immediately upon seeing Lu Xiaobu. "You go call Qianmin and Sister Lan to eat together," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand commanding. "Yes." Zhang Meng swiftly completed the task and called Wu Qianmin and Liang Lan over. The two beauties, one tall and one short, fresh as a daisy in water, swiftly swept away the laziness in the Lu Family house like a spring breeze. Admiring the view before him, Lu Xiaobu remarked, "Its a treat for the eyes just looking at Sister Lan; Ill probably eat an extra two bowls of rice." "Oh, really?" Liang Lan pulled her clothes down slightly to reveal more of her snowy cleavage, teasing Lu Xiaobu. "Three bowls arent a challenge." Lu Xiaobu, suddenly emboldened, stood on a chair to get a better view, "..so deep, so round... such a thrill early in the morning! If it were face wash, it would surely be exhilarating!" "Hmph," came the teeth-grinding sound from Wu Qianmin. "Giggle, are you trying to challenge a tiger? And boasting about not stopping at three bowls." Pulling her clothes back in place, Liang Lan winked and grinned at Lu Xiaobu. She was a bit baffled by this Lu Xiaobu. If you said he wasnt lecherous, hed always be looking for an opportunity to take advantage, but if you said he was lecherous, just yesterday he actually offered her to go stay at Wu Qianmins place instead of at the Lu residence. "Fighting a tiger? Im going to ride one. Um, a tigress," responded Lu Xiaobu after the captivating view had disappeared, shrugging his shoulders. Listening to Lu Xiaobus straightforward words, Wu Qianmins face blushed instantlywho is he talking about? Whos the tigress?! Not me... definitely... not... me... probably Sister Lan... but no! No! Absolutely not! It wasnt just Wu Qianmin, even the usually bold Liang Lan was feeling heated upYoung Master was too blunt! Yeah, confirmed, a real lech! Humph! Lu Xiaobu, seeing both their reactions, smiled and turned to say, "Zhang Meng, sit down and eat too." "Thank you, Young Master." Zhang Meng immediately sat down, devoured his food at lightning speed, and then went back to guard. "Young Master Bu," Li Xide hurried in, carrying a box, "Ive made another gold smartphone for you. I brought it here." Lu Xiaobu took the phone but wasnt too pleased, frowning, "With those dark circles under your eyes, did you not sleep all night?" "Hehe," Li Xide scratched his head. Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Sit down and eat. After eating, you can go sleep at the house," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and then opened the box. Looking at the phone which was even more exquisite than yesterdays, he was impressed, "Reward, ten thousand." "Thank you, Young Master," Li Xide was delightedYoung Master was so considerate and generous. "Hey, this really makes me jealous," muttered Lu Hongbin, glancing at Zhang Meng at the door and then at the dark circles under Li Xides eyes, "These people Xiaobus recruited are more loyal than one another. Look at my employees, always trying to outsmart me. Comparing people can be infuriating, and comparing products is like throwing them away!" "Eat your meal and stop your grumbling. Dont get any wild ideas about Xiaobu," scolded Lu Dad. "Exactly, exactly," Lu Xiaobu raised his fist in agreement, then suddenly changed his tune, "Hehe, big brother, hand over the money." "You little brat, you berate your big brother and then you ask for money?" Lu Hongbin rolled his eyes but handed over a bank card to Lu Xiaobu. "Hehe." Wu Qianmin and Liang Lan both laughed, this family is really harmonious. After breakfast. "Qianmin, Zhang Meng, lets go to school," Lu Xiaobu said. "What about me?" Liang Lan asked. "Sister Lan, its fine for you to stay home. Ill come to find you after school," Lu Xiaobu said with a grin, "Oh, by the way, Sister Lan, can you help me fold the quilt?" "Hey, you wanted me to come back with you just to fold your quilt?" Liang Lan said irritablyshe was being thoroughly underestimated. "Exactly, youre not just a vase after all, so its happily decided." Lu Xiaobu hummed a tune as he walked out of the house: "Ill have a fragrant quilt to cover myself with tonight, mmm, with Sister Lans original scent." "This..." The Lu family was dumbfounded. Tian Jilan is a vase? Tian Jilans task is to fold your quilt? Young Master Bu, you cant be so wasteful! If word gets out, you better be careful not to get beaten up! "Liang Lan, dont take it seriously, Xiaobu, he..." Lu Hongbin hurriedly tried to explain, but stopped halfway because Liang Lan had already gone upstairs. "Young Master Bus room is this one, right?" Liang Lan pointed to Lu Xiaobus room and said. "Right," Lu Hongbin was in a daze: "Youre not really going to fold his quilt, are you?" "Yes, I was hired by Young Master Bu, of course, I have to work." Liang Lan laughed and then entered the room, earnestly started cleaning up Lu Xiaobus room. "This..." The three men of the Lu family looked at each other, what kind of situation was this? Tech Emperor Li Xide, with a loyal child-like nature, we accept. Special Soldier Instructor Zhang Meng, grateful and devoted, we can understand. But you?! You are Tian Jilan! Dont you feel like youre squandering your talent? "Dont be surprised, I know what youre thinking. Young Master has paid me a salary, so, of course, I will complete Young Masters tasks well." Liang Lan held Lu Xiaobus clothes and put them into the washing machine, her eyes revealing a hint of sharpness: "However, its time I show Young Master Bu what Im capable of. Wu Qianmin mentioned that Young Master cooked up some supreme dishes, how about I take care of the business plan?" She wanted to see, once she showed her capabilities, how would Lu Xiaobu treat her? Will he treat her like others, as a tool for making money? Or will he see her like some, as a forbidden temptation? Heaven graced her with beauty and talent but also brought her endless troubles, making her wary of outsiders, especially men. Want her to submit? It wont be so easy! "No problem, no problem at all. I couldnt ask for more," Lu Hongbin immediately nodded excitedly. Could this Xiaobu really perform magic? Tian Jilan has her own principles. Just by the fact that even though she agreed to become the CEO for the guy named Zhang, yet still insisted on starting as a bartender, it shows that asking her to do something is not so simple. But now, Tian Jilan is proactively asking to work, which is very strange. However, thats not important. The important thing is, this is going to be a big win! With Tian Jilan stepping in, its definitely not going to be just five or six million that simple! Xiaobu, oh Xiaobu, youve really struck it big this time! If it wasnt for the fact that many things need to be kept secret for now, he would go and slap the faces of those who mocked Xiaobu so hard! Chapter 18: Ex’s Dark History [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Exs Dark History [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Zhang Meng was driving the temporary car Lu Hongbin gave to Lu Xiaobu, taking Lu Xiaobu and Wu Qianmin to school. "Which class am I in again?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Young Master, you are in Class 6 of Senior Year Three, known as the gathering spot of scumbags, located on the second floor of the teaching building, first room on the left of the stairs. The four most notorious ones include Liu Changlong, son of our citys richest man; Fu Hu, prince of the Underworld; and Zhou Jingyuan, whose background is a mystery that even I couldnt uncover," Zhang Meng said deliberately, clearly well-prepared. Wu Qianmin secretly clicked her tongue. Lu Xiaobus dumb luck is really... something else. Just Zhang Mengs martial prowess alone makes that ten thousand salary worth it. Moreover, its only been one night, and he has already grasped the situation in Lu Xiaobus class and recited it by heart. Its more than just hitting a jackpot; truly befitting a Special Soldier instructor. She used to think Zhang Meng was a swindler, and that thought is still echoing in her mind. So embarrassing! "Huh? You said there are four, why only three?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "The fourth one is you, the profligate Lu Xiaobu," Wu Qianmin rolled her eyes. "You really have the nerve to ask." Zhang Meng also scratched his head, tacitly agreeing with Wu Qianmin. "I thought so. If I didnt make the list, those people would really be blind," Lu Xiaobu laughed. "A profligate who finds honor in disgrace," Wu Qianmin pursed her lips. "Young Master, should I infiltrate the school to ensure your safety?" Zhang Meng whispered. "I heard your relations with Liu Changlong and Fu Hu arent very good." "Bad relations?" Wu Qianmin was stunned. "Arent you guys always hanging out together, calling each other brothers daily?" "Bad relations?" Lu Xiaobu also furrowed his brows, knowing Zhang Meng wouldnt lie to him. Thinking it over, he accessed a deliberately hidden memory from his predecessor and understood, "No wonder this profligate seems so poor, no car, no people." Liu Changlong and Fu Hu were the real reasons why his predecessor was so destitute. His predecessor was blackmailed by these two. Thus, eighty percent of his predecessors money went to these two every day to avoid bullying and maintain face at school. "What did you say?" Wu Qianmin was surprised. "Nothing." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, his eyes narrowing, "Zhang Meng, no need to come in. Go withdraw some cash with my card later." "Yes, Young Master," Zhang Meng quickly responded. He realized he had spoken too much, and that Wu Qianmin probably didnt know about those matters concerning the Young Master, nearly causing him embarrassment. Upon reaching the school. Wu Qianmin got out of the car first and walked towards the school, muttering, "Could Lu Xiaobu have bad relations with Liu Changlong and Fu Hu? How can I not believe that, calling each other brothers all day?" Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu waited for Zhang Meng to return with cash before tossing it to the security guard at the door, "Hold this for me..." "You motherf...!" The guard was unexpectedly hit by a heavy backpack and blurted out a curse. "Here, take five hundred," Lu Xiaobu finished his sentence. "Thank you, Young Master Bu, may Young Master Bu dominate Heavenly Dynasty forever!" The guard was immediately grateful, holding the backpack and standing behind Lu Xiaobu. "Young Master, are you sure you dont need me?" asked Zhang Meng, still somewhat worried. "Your body..." "Its fine, my body is actually my strongest shield," Lu Xiaobu smiled and pointed to the heavy backpack in the guards hand, "And this is my mightiest spear; Ill show them the power of a profligate." "Alright, Young Master, if anything happens, please notify me immediately," Zhang Meng could only reluctantly agree. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... At the back door of Class Six, Senior Year Three. A dude dressed in Hugo Boss was leisurely sitting on a chair, eating watermelon and playing with his phone. No one dared approach within a meter of him; this is the son of the citys richest manLiu Changlong. "Fu Hu, has our good brother Lu Xiaobu not arrived yet?" Liu Changlong asked without looking up. "Should be soon." Fu Hu, wrapping his arm around a female classmate, smiled greedily. If it wasnt for waiting for Lu Xiaobu, he wouldnt be at school at all. With just a little trick, they could easily make this prodigal son obediently hand over his money, which was faster and much more than his fathers men collecting protection fees on the streets. "Thats good." Liu Changlong nodded. Even he, the son of the richest man, didnt have as much money as this prodigal son Lu Xiaobu, which was somewhat embarrassing. But, all the money of this prodigal son was going to be his, which was very pleasing. "Lets set it here." Lu Xiaobu, accompanied by a security guard carrying his backpack, walked in and sat down. Seeing Lu Xiaobus figure, Liu Changlong put down his phone, and Fu Hu also let go of the girl in his arms, watching Lu Xiaobu with the same greedy eyes. Every day as soon as Lu Xiaobu arrived, he would greet them and then hand over the money for the day. At this moment, Lu Xiaobu was the number one "big fat sheep" in the Heavenly Dynasty, without a doubt! However, as time ticked by, the expressions on Liu Changlong and Fu Hus faces gradually turned ugly. Lu Xiaobu actually didnt greet them?! Did he eat the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard? "Go." Liu Changlong gave Fu Hu a look. Fu Hu nodded and approached Lu Xiaobu: "Xiaobu, did you forget something? Why didnt you greet us when you came?" "Oh, Huzi. Coming to give me respect?" Lu Xiaobu propped himself on the table, lifted his eyelids slightly, and yawned as he spoke. "Pfft! Hahaha, Huzi." Laughter erupted in the classroom: "Nice, the former Brother Hu has become Huzi, seems like youre not up to it anymore." "Who the hell is laughing?!" Fu Hu raged, but when he turned to see who made the laughter, he just gritted his teeth: "Zhou Jingyuan, this has nothing to do with you." Lu Xiaobu also looked over, and what caught his eye was a loli with twin ponytails. If not for the disproportionately large assets on her chest, one might really doubt if some little loli had wandered into the wrong class. At this moment, the loli was sitting on a desk, swinging her pale legs and laughing heartily, her delicate face radiating a boldness that did not fit her physique, and an instant contrast cute charm overwhelmed. Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrowsthis little girl is impressive, even bigger than Sister Lans, matched with this physique, it is even more supportive! "What? Hu, I laugh at you, and you have a problem with that?" Zhou Jingyuan frowned, leapt off the desk, and with her assets shaking vigorously, she stood hands on hips and fiercely berated Fu Hu. However, her small figure just couldnt make people feel intimidated; instead, it only made her seem cuter. "No!" Fu Hu gritted his teeth and held back. He dared to retort even Liu Dalong when he laughed at him. But this Zhou Jingyuan? Better to let it go. This was the very person his father specifically warned him not to touch. Otherwise, he would have tried to get his hands on this delectable creature long agoknowing that embracing such a figure is the most pleasurable. "Thats good." Zhou Jingyuan snorted, continuing to hop onto the desk to enjoy the show. "Come on, Lu Xiaobu, lets go out and have a chat alone." Fu Hu glared at Lu Xiaobu, growling low. He wanted to vent all his resentment on Lu Xiaobus body. Chapter 19 You Coward [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 19: Chapter 19 You Coward [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Chat privately? No need, lets just talk here," Lu Xiaobu yawned. "Im sleepy, Xiaohuzi, if theres nothing else, kneel and be gone." "Sure, lets go." Fu Hu responded subconsciously, never thinking that Lu Xiaobu would dare to refuse. "Pfft! Hahahaha! Xiaohuzi, you better kneel properly! Make sure your posture is right." Zhou Jingyuan burst into laughter upon hearing this, slapping the table as she cackled wildly. "Damn it! Lu Xiaobu, youre courting death!" Hearing Zhou Jingyuans laughter, Fu Hu finally realized what was going on. He was so furious that he clenched his fists and raised them violently. What the hell do you mean, "kneel and be gone"? Did I actually agree like a fucking idiot?! "Come on, hit me. Aim for my body," Lu Xiaobu stared at Zhou Jingyuan, his voice cool and composed. "You better hope that one punch kills me, then see if the Lu family wont go all out against you." With those words, Fu Hu suddenly froze as if a spell had been cast, his raised fist stuck in mid-air. The anger in Fu Hus heart lessened a bit. Right, with Lu Xiaobus physique, my punch could kill or severely injure him! I know how crazily doting the Lu family is on Lu Xiaobu! Go all out?! Thats putting it lightly! I can guarantee, if anything happens to Lu Xiaobu, the Lu family wont hesitate to spend any amount to take me down, even my fathers life! Despite my fathers control over the Underworld, theres no shortage of people willing to kill for money in this world! Hiring a few Assassins would be all too easy. "Xiaohuzi, you coward, do it!" Zhou Jingyuan, ever the troublemaker, egged him on from the side. "Dont worry, your passing will be peaceful, with a smile on your face. The sun will shine brightly that day, the fire will burn fiercely, the ashes will be scorching, and your family will be strong without shedding tears, playing mahjong instead. Ill even send you off with the song Ling Ling." "Motherfucker!" Fu Hu completely lost his cool. "Who are you cursing?" Zhou Jingyuans face darkened as she jumped off the table, glaring at Fu Hu. "Fu Hu." Liu Changlong realized he had to intervene: "If youre cursing Lu Xiaobu, just say it. Otherwise, people might get the wrong idea." Hearing Liu Changlong speak, Fu Hu realized his mistake as well, gritting his teeth: "Yeah, Im cursing Lu Xiaobu." Both acted as if Lu Xiaobu was nothing to them, arrogantly cursing Lu Xiaobu by name without any consideration for his feelings. Their message was clearLu Xiaobu, just take it. Not only do you have to hold your tongue, but you also need to cough up the money. "Lu Xiaobu, stop the crap and hurry up! Do what you need to do! Dont force us, or itll be embarrassing for everyone," Liu Changlong said sternly, looking at Lu Xiaobu with a fierce scowl. "Force you? Your mothers a whore!" Lu Xiaobu scoffed and cursed. Bullying him? Who the hell did they think they were?! "Good! Very good! You asked for it! Today Ill make you regret it!" Liu Changlong was furious. Today, Lu Xiaobu had really angered him! Daring to mock Fu Hu and defy him! He pulled out a stack of photos from his chest and flung them out, his tone menacing: "Lets all take a look! This is the little bird of our prodigal son, not even as big as my pinkie!" The photos fluttered around the classroom, and everyone saw them. Immediately, the room filled with low snickers. "Wow, is this little thing? Even smaller than my little brothers." "Poor guy, hes hopeless for life!" "Yeah, if that were my dick, I wouldve killed myself already." "Whats this? When you have money but nowhere to spend it, now Lu Xiaobu has really lost face." "..." Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed slightlyso thats what it was! My ex really had it in for me, getting something like this caught on camera! No wonder you were so obedient to Liu Changlong and his cronies! In the classroom, the boys laughed unabashedly, while the girls, some shy, still sneaked peeks and let out quiet chuckles. "Tsks tsks tsks, it really is tiny," Zhou Jingyuan said as she unabashedly picked up a photo to examine closely: "Lu Xiaobu, now I see why youre so afraid of Liu Changlong. Turns out youve got a little weakness hes got a grip on!" Everyone watched Lu Xiaobu with a spectators interest, curious to see how he would embarrass himself. Liu Changlong watched Lu Xiaobu and let out a cold laughDare to defy me? The real killers are never the ones with the flashing knives! He could already imagine Lu Xiaobu losing face all the way home, crying his eyes out! Fu Hu also sneered, looking down at Lu Xiaobu: "Dare to make a fool of me? Today youll learn what dead means." Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But to everyones surprise, Lu Xiaobu didnt show the slightest hint of shame or annoyance under all the watchful eyes. Angry? The more pissed you get, the happier these two idiots will be! Dare to catch a little weakness of the young master? Mock the young masters size? The young master will whip you to death! So instead of showing any anger, Lu Xiaobu looked at Zhou Jingyuan with great interest: "Its quite big, should be just right for you! After all, one key fits one lock, doesnt it? How big is yours?" "You! Mines huge, enough to crush you to death!" Zhou Jingyuan fumed. Under these circumstances, this Lu Xiaobu still had the nerve to tease her? The rest of the class was stunned. "Has Lu Xiaobu lost his mind? Why isnt he reacting at all?" "Right! Could there be some mistake?" "Yes!" "..." Liu Changlongs face turned green with frustration. He felt like he had thrown his full power into a punch, only to hit airthe feeling was exasperating! "Lu Xiaobu, look closely! This is your photo!" Fu Hu, refusing to give up, picked up a photo and slapped it in front of Lu Xiaobu, roaring with fury. "Is this it?" Lu Xiaobu glanced at the photo and sneered: "I can find a hundred of these online, all with your name, Fu Hu, on them. You come to shame yourself with this little trick?" He thought to himself with an inward sneerEver heard of money makes the world go round? Just wait, Ill teach you a good lesson today! With that said, everyone started to catch on. "Yeah, theres no identifier on this, who says its Lu Xiaobus?" "Exactly, especially Lu Xiaobus expression, its not like him at all." "If I was ridiculed with this kind of thing, I would have crawled into a hole by now, but look at Lu Xiaobu, hes totally fine." "..." Listening to the surrounding whispers, Liu Changlongs face turned thunderous, and he snapped: "Shut up! Would I, Liu Changlong, use something like this to deceive you? You might dodge the monk, but you cant dodge the temple, just wait and see when Lu Xiaobu goes to the bathroom!" With his words, there was a sudden realization among the crowd. "Right, we just need to see it for ourselves." "Lu Xiaobu cant avoid going to the bathroom forever." "Besides, if he wont let us see, then it must be true." "..." "Trying to fight me?" Liu Changlong glared at Lu Xiaobu with a malicious smile: "Ill show you the difference between us." "No need, Im ready to go to the bathroom right now for all of you to see," Lu Xiaobu said as he twisted his neck: "But Liu Changlong, if this isnt mine, should I sue you for slander or libel?" "Sue me? No need, lets keep it simple." Liu Changlong sneered and pulled out a bunch of keys and slammed them on the table: "If it isnt your bird in the photo, then this million-dollar Liema X5 is yours." "Fine, Ill bear witness." Zhou Jingyuan continued to stir the pot, snatching the keys from Liu Changlongs hand: "No one gets to back out!" "No problem!" Lu Xiaobu said with a grin: "Youd better take a close look too, see if you can actually crush it!" "Get lost!" Zhou Jingyuan cursed, fuming. Chapter 21: Smash Them Along the Way [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Smash Them Along the Way [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The students on campus, noisy and bustling, were unaware that a pair of hawk-like eyes watched over them intently. Those eyes belonged to Zhang Meng. When Zhang Meng saw Lu Xiaobu finally flash a happy smile on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief and put down the binoculars in his hands it seemed that the Young Master had resolved the issue. He opened the trunk of the car and placed the binoculars inside where there were all sorts of tools; everything Zhang Meng had bought with the money he had left from the reward the Young Master had given him the night before. For him, protecting the Young Masters safety was more important than money. After packing up, Zhang Meng continued to stand there, constantly scanning the surroundings. "Instructor." A voice came over: "Are you done?" Zhang Meng turned around and saw to his surprise that it was Zhang Wenliangs bodyguard from the night before; he frowned: "Li Jin, whats up?" "Nothing, just saw you here and wanted to say hello, Instructor have a smoke," Li Jin said with a flattering smile on his face. He had actually been paying attention to Zhang Meng just now, but he knew that in the state Zhang Meng was in just before, if he dared to approach, he would have definitely been beaten to a pulp! "Speak up if you have something to say, dont beat around the bush!" Zhang Meng scolded. "Alright!" Li Jin gritted his teeth and pointed to a car not far away and said: "Young Master Zhang wants to see you." "See me? What for?" Zhang Meng said icily. "I dont know." Li Jin said with an awkward smile how could he not know, it was clear that Young Master Zhang had taken a liking to this instructor and wanted to entice him away from Lu Xiaobu! "Youre always up to no good." Zhang Meng scolded Li Jins soldiers were under him, how could he not see through Li Jins intentions. As for this Li Jin, there was no question about his professional qualifications, he was ranked top three in the previous squad; its just that he was somewhat slick. "Youve guessed it..." Li Jin said with a sheepish smile: "Then Ill go back and refuse him." "No, Ill go with you, its better to make things clear in person, to avoid bringing trouble to the Young Master," Zhang Meng gestured with his hand. "Ah... I said it was hopeless, but Young Master Zhang didnt believe me," Li Jin sighed. The two approached Zhang Wenliangs car. When Zhang Wenliang saw Zhang Meng coming over, he was overjoyed: "Mr. Zhang Meng, we met last night, so Ill get straight to the point; no matter how much Lu Xiaobu pays you, Ill double it for you to work for me. How about that? Im loaded!" He had been grounded by his father for a month, and this was him sneaking out; he needed to act swiftly. "Then I wont beat around the bush either, dont let me hear such insulting words to the Young Master and me again, thats it!" Zhang Meng said decisively. After speaking, Zhang Meng turned around and left without lingering for a moment! "Goddamn it!" Zhang Wenliang watched Zhang Mengs retreating figure, punching the leather seat in anger: "Li Jin, look at him, then look at you! Youre killing me!" "I..." Li Jin was speechless, caught in the crossfire again? And wasnt I loyal enough? For you, I almost fell out with the instructor! "No way, isnt that your instructor? You have to come up with a plan for me. If you can secure him, then both Lu Xiaobus phone and Tian Jilan will be back in my possession. Lu Xiaobu dares to trick me, he has to pay the price!" Zhang Wenliang said through gritted teeth: "If you cant think of something, then resign!" "Youre going after the Young Master?!" Zhang Mengs ears twitched, and he suddenly turned around, his eyes bursting with an intense murderous aura as he stared fixedly at Zhang Wenliang, striding back again. "What are you doing? Li Jin! Save me!" Zhang Wenliang immediately shivered with fear, crying out. Was Zhang Meng too crazed? I only said that much! This cant just be loyalty unto death, but more like a servant willing to die for his masters dishonor! Is it really worth it?! How much did Lu Xiaobu really pay you? Zhang Meng landed three punches on Li Jin, who was blocking the way by the car, and like a tiger choosing its prey, he focused on the shivering Zhang Wenliang inside the car. "Dont hit me, whatever amount you want, Ill give you! All yours!" Zhang Wenliang was filled with regret. At that moment, Zhang Mengs phone rang, and he answered immediately: "Young Master, what can I do for you?" "Smash the car." Lu Xiaobus voice came through the phone. "Got it!" Zhang Meng immediately nodded, pinched up a fist big as a sandbag, and threw a punch at the roof of the car. "Bang!" The roof immediately caved in, forming a deep dent. This loud noise frightened Zhang Wenliang inside the car, causing him to hurriedly open the door on the other side and flee frantically: "Is that really necessary? Is it!? Cant you see Im wrong?!" He was immensely panicked in his hearthis car had a high safety rating, yet it was punched into a big dent. If that fist were to land on him... The previously aggressive Zhang Wenliang thus made a hasty retreat in panic. Low laughter erupted from the surrounding crowd: "Thats a slap to the face, loud and clear!" Lu Xiaobu, hearing the sound of the car being smashed, was suddenly taken aback: "Uh... Zhang Meng, whose car are you smashing?" "Zhang Wenliangs." Zhang Meng was also stunnedright, Young Master probably doesnt know about this, so why did he ask me to smash the car in the first place? "I told you to smash the wrong car. Its supposed to be a LieMa X5, Liu Changlongs car. This one I won here, and I dont want to drive someone elses car, so I told you to smash it," Lu Xiaobu said. "Uh..." Zhang Meng froze, his face flushed with embarrassment: "Young Master, Ive caused you trouble again. Ill go apologize." "Apologize for what? Since its smashed, might as well smash both!" Lu Xiaobu said indifferently: "I believe you definitely didnt smash the car for no reason at all. Remember to use tools, dont smash cars with your bare hands!" "Thank you, Young Master!" Zhang Meng said gratefully, feeling his blood boil with this unconditional trust! Lying on the ground, Li Jin listened to the conversation between Lu Xiaobu and Zhang Meng and saw Zhang Wenliang fleeing without looking back. A chill ran through his heart. Zhang, oh Zhang, you envy Coach Zhang Mengs unwavering loyalty, but have you ever trusted me unconditionally like Young Master Bu? Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A car worth over a million was smashed by mistake, and Young Master Bu didnt even ask why, only concerned about Coach Zhang Mengs hands. As for you? You make me resign at the slightest provocation! "Get up." Looking at the disheartened Li Jin on the ground, Zhang Meng extended his hand. "Coach, I..." Ashamed, Li Jin reached out his hand and was pulled up by Zhang Meng. "Take this." Zhang Meng found two iron rods, handed one to Li Jin, and pointed at Zhang Wenliangs car: "Smash!" "I..." Li Jin was stunnedwhat did that mean? "In a while, Ill talk to the Young Master, to have you follow Young Master. Young Master is kind-hearted and should agree. You are my soldier, I cant ignore you." Zhang Mengs expression was stern as marble, without a trace of emotion, yet his words were enough to make Li Jin want to cry: "Your salary definitely wont be as high as before. If Im not mistaken, it should be ten thousand a month. If thats not enough, take my salary too. I dont need the money right now." "Coach! Thats enough! Thats more than enough!" Li Jin clenched his teeth, holding back tearshe knew the coach rarely begged anyone, but this time... "Smash!" Zhang Meng didnt waste words. "Alright!" Li Jin swung the iron rod and ruthlessly smashed Zhang Wenliangs car, severing all past grudges with Zhang Wenliang in one stroke! From today onwards, Li Jin will follow the coach, fighting to the death for the Young Master, with loyal devotion, ready to die for his masters honor! The onlookers watching this scene all shook their heads secretly. They were bodyguards of various wealthy young masters, and many of them were clear about the insider details. "Zhang Wenliang, oh Zhang Wenliang, youve lost face all the way to your grandmas home this time!" "Yeah, he came here specifically to try to poach people from Lu Xiaobus turf, but not only did he fail, his own corner has been dug out by Lu Xiaobu!" "Tsk tsk tsk! I remember this bodyguard used to make fifty thousand a month with Zhang Wenliang, and just like that, for ten thousand a month, he let Lu Xiaobu snatch him away?" "I wonder if Zhang Wenliang will want to crawl into a hole when he hears this news?" "Look at Lu Xiaobu. Not only are his own men die-hard loyalists, hes even picking up more die-hard warriors. You guys tell me, are you impressed or what?" "The prodigal Lu Xiaobu, a divine being! A god!" "..." What they didnt know was that Zhang Wenliang was actually not far away. Watching Li Jin smash his car, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was too ashamed to show his face and could only curse bitterly: "Li Jin! Just you wait, wait! You dare to betray me?! And you too, Lu Xiaobu! You all just wait!" ... At this moment, Zhang Meng suddenly spoke seriously to Li Jin: "Oh, right, remember, were not bodyguards, were lackeys!" "Huh?!" Li Jins liver jerked violentlyNot bodyguards? Lackeys?! Coach, youre definitely doing this on purpose, give me back my touched feelings! Chapter 22: Can You Shout 666? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Can You Shout 666? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]In the school, students from class six surrounded Lu Xiaobu and Zhou Jingyuan, showering them with endless praise. "Xiaobu, who are you calling?" Zhou Jingyuan asked. "My subordinate." Lu Xiaobu shrugged. "I asked him to help smash Liu Changlongs car." "Smash... smash... smash it?" Zhou Jingyuan was stunned. "You mean the fiery horse X5 you just won back, worth a million? You had it smashed?" Students around them were also dazed, watching Lu Xiaobu, seeking confirmation. "Yeah, that one, my subordinate, I know hes been standing outside, motionless, its good for him to move his muscles, otherwise he might have back pains at night." Lu Xiaobu laughed. "Damn!" Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Everyone around spat out. A luxury car worth a million, and you used it to help your subordinate exercise? Isnt that the same as using gold bars for a dog to chew on? No, its even more wasteful than using gold bars! A hundred times more wasteful! "Wasteful brat, I admire you, in the domain of wastefulness, you claim second place and no one dares to claim the first." Zhou Jingyuan shook her head in collapse, no longer knowing what to say. "Thanks for the compliment." Lu Xiaobu said cheerfully. "Enough, lets not talk about this," Zhou Jingyuan said exasperatedly. She suddenly scolded coldly: "Ive said it before, Ill take care of Lu Xiaobu in class from now on. Since you guys took the money today, you should do what youre paid for. I dont want a single word about todays matter to leak. Got it?" "Got it! Young Master Bu, forever ruling Jianghu!" Everyone shouted in unison, even if Zhou Jingyuan hadnt said it, they wouldnt have talked. For one, receiving benefits obligates one, benefiting from others limits one. And secondly, they were afraid that Fu Hu and his gang would find out the truth and seek revengenot only would they not keep a single cent, but theyd also get beaten up. That would be a total loss. After all, with Fu Hus greedy nature well-known, even if you pledge loyalty to him, he wont spare you! How could they not prefer following Lu Xiaobu, indulging in good food and drinks, in comfort? "Oh right." Lu Xiaobu suddenly clapped his hands excitedly: "I just spent a ton of money, didnt I?" "Good grief!" Everyone faintedthis guy had no concept of how much money hes spent. Lu Xiaobu didnt care about their reactions, but quickly opened the system interface to check the wasted amount. Hehe, 260,000, which means two more attribute points. After purchasing two health points again, Lu Xiaobu felt a surge of strength in his bodyit felt incredibly awesome! ... The school bell for the end of the day woke up the sleeping Lu Xiaobu, who had slept all day and felt incredibly refreshed. So... He decided... "Wahaha, Im treating everyone to dinner tonight, lets go eat!" Lu Xiaobu stood on the table and shouted excitedly. "Yay! Long live Young Master Bu! Long live! Long long live!" Class six erupted into cheers, books flew into the air, and the classroom atmosphere was electrifying. "Wahaha, I love these long live cheers, hahahaha!" Lu Xiaobu stood on the table, hands on his hips, laughing heartily. "Lu Xiaobu!" The class teacher, who was assigning homework, instantly became furious: "You know..." "Teacher, come on, lets go together!" Lu Xiaobu laughed. "Long live!" The teacher threw the handouts, suddenly shouting with excitement. Forget about the damn homework, to hell with it! After all, not many in this class do their homework! Following Lu Xiaobu, the wasteful brat, definitely means indulging in good food and drinks! "Wahaha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily, leading the group out. Only Zhou Jingyuan rolled her eyes: "This Lu Xiaobu, didnt he say he was treating me alone? How did it turn into a group meal?" As the group arrived at the school gate, Wu Qianmin was also just coming out. "Young Master." Zhang Meng walked up immediately to greet him, "Both cars have been smashed." "Hmm, good. Reward, 5000." Lu Xiaobu nodded at the two heaps of scrap metal in front of him. "Thank you, Young Master." Zhang Meng expressed his gratitude. Students from class six looked at the wrecked cars, which still vaguely resembled their former luxurious selves, and couldnt help clicking their tongues in awe. "Wow, they really smashed them." "Two of them, huh? One is a Raging Horse X5, and the other looks like a Patter S, both million-dollar luxury cars, and now theyre just scrap." "Lu Xiaobu is truly a genuine wastrel." "God, God!" "..." "Young Master, please consider, Li Jins character is still excellent." Zhang Meng pulled Li Jin from behind him, and said awkwardly. "Young Master, please forgive what I did yesterday, but from today onwards, I will be absolutely loyal." Li Jin was ashamed; just yesterday, they were enemies. "You were one of Zhang Mengs subordinates, right?" Lu Xiaobu asked casually. "Can you shout 666?" "Uh... What?" Li Jin was instantly confused. Was this an interview? Should I say I can or I cant? The students from class six were all staring at Li Jin, curious to see what his response would be. Would saying he cant make Lu Xiaobu feel youre not ingratiating? But saying he can might make Lu Xiaobu think hes slick and oily? This simple question is terrifying upon careful thought! As Li Jin sweated bullets... Even Zhang Meng started getting nervous... Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "Okay, youre hired. Monthly salary of 10,000, tips not included." "Holy crap!" Everyone collapsed, their livers went on strike! Only Wu Qianmin managed to hold it together and asked with a face of utter perplexity, "Lu Xiaobu, can I interview you on what exactly motivated you to ask that kind of question?" "Bored out of my skull," Lu Xiaobu shrugged. "Pff!" Even the extremely resilient Wu Qianmin collapsed: "Thank you for your self-awareness!" "No need to thank me." Lu Xiaobu nodded seriously. "I didnt thank you!" Wu Qianmin went madsince when did Lu Xiaobu become so shameless? With a twitching corner of his mouth, Li Jin asked, "Thank you, Young Master. So what should I do?" "Well, go sell these two piles of scrap metal, we cant waste them, right?" Lu Xiaobu issued his first command. "Uh... cant waste?" Everyone fell silentwhy does it feel so discordant and awkward to hear the words cant waste coming from Lu Xiaobus mouth? If you were worried about wasting, why did you smash them? Thats over two million right there! "Carry out the order, other things are not for you to worry about," Zhang Meng sternly chided Li Jin. "Yes! Sorry, Young Master, I was wrong." Li Jin instantly snapped to attention and began to actIndeed, these werent things he needed to worry about; he just needed to obey orders. "Dont be so harsh," Lu Xiaobu waved him off. "Zhang Meng, were going to my brothers store on Commercial Street, I quite like the food there." "Sure, Young Master. Should I arrange for a bus to take everyone, or shall we walk?" Zhang Meng asked. "Lets walk, its not far anyway, and I just woke up; lets stretch our legs." Lu Xiaobu smiled. "Yes, Young Master," Zhang Meng immediately nodded. But the next second, his face became grave and filled with caution! Chapter 23 Dance...Up! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Dance...Up! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]In the crowd, Zhou Jingyuan, who had been quiet all along, walked over to Zhang Meng after people began to move around and whispered, "Fierce Tiger War GodZhang Meng." "Who are you?!" Zhang Mengs eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light, as he let out a low shout and quickly positioned himself between Lu Xiaobu and Zhou Jingyuan. His voice was kept low, trying not to spoil Lu Xiaobus fun. "My name is Zhou Jingyuan, but I cant tell you the specifics." Zhou Jingyuan shook her head, observing Zhang Meng, who instantly moved to protect Lu Xiaobu, with a mysterious expression: "Why have you fallen to this? Is there some difficulty? Maybe I can help." "Zhou Jingyuan?" Zhang Meng nodded, recalling the files he had investigated before; he understood. Although Zhou Jingyuans identity couldnt be traced, he knew that her status was S-encrypted, meaning she likely wasnt an adversary to Young Master. Thus, he relaxed his guard a bit and shook his head, "Theres no Fierce Tiger War God here, just a lapdog of the Young Master. Miss, please refrain from bringing it up again." "Ah..." Zhou Jingyuan wanted to say something else but, seeing Zhang Mengs resolute look, she sighed and remained silent. The Fierce Tiger War God still had the same temperament, only the object of his loyalty had changed. This Lu Xiaobu really stirs up jealousy! I remember after that incident, countless people spent a fortune and even offered high positions but couldnt persuade the War God to look back, yet now he willingly serves as a wastrels lackey. I remember Grandpa also tried to recruit Zhang Meng back then; would he smash the table in anger if he knew? Hehe, seems like fun! But whats even more interesting is, how will Lu Xiaobu, this wastrel, react when he learns about that incident from the past? Just thinking about it is so exciting, right? No, cant think about it any further, or I might accidentally blurt it out! ... Class 3-6, notorious as a gathering place of scum, where every student is feared throughout the school. Tell me, how could a group of excessively excited scumbags eat quietly? And so. "Hey, why are you taking my apples? Im trying to sell them here," the fruit stall owner yelled angrily. "Whats there to worry about? Since youre selling them, whats wrong with trying one?" Li Qiang rolled his eyes and said. "Are you going to buy it?" Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "No!" "You! Scoundrel!" The fruit stall owner cursed out of frustration. Lu Xiaobu nonchalantly waved his hand: "Zhang Meng, pay the man. Ill take responsibility for my people." "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng went over to pay the owner. "Young Master Bu..." A bunch of scumbags immediately lit up their eyes. "One for each person, Zhang Meng, pay up," Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily. "Young Master Bu, long live, long live, long long live!" Everyone shouted in unison, grabbing an apple each. Zhang Meng stood by, keeping count, and busily paid the fruit stall owner. Looking at the fruit stall owner now, his anger had vanished, replaced by sheer excitement. He even handed two apples to Li Qiang, the first to grab an apple: "Here, student, take these, enjoy them." The only two who didnt partake, Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan, exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each others eyesthis wastrel. ... Toy store. Owner: "Why are you taking my mask just like that?" Lu Xiaobu: "One for each, matching, lets go with those fluffy white wolf heads. Were a pack of hungry wolves. Zhang Meng, pay up." Scumbags: "Young Master Bu, eternal glory, rule over Jianghu!" Lu Xiaobu: "Wahaha! Thrilling!" Even Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan couldnt resist grabbing a fierce white wolf head mask each, placing it on their heads. It was quite entertaining. At that moment, looking at this group, they seemed like a pack of hungry wolves prowling the streets, quite intimidating. Passersby who saw them all detoured around them. And Lu Xiaobu was the alpha of these hungry wolves! ... One-dollar store. Owner: "Young Master Bu, someone took my lighter." Lu Xiaobu: "Zhang Meng." "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng has grown adept at handling the payments. "Young Master Bu, eternal glory, rule over Jianghu!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily: "Thrilling, my lads, light up those lighters. Remember, we need uniformity, we need rhythm!" "Yes!" everyone shouted. The pack of hungry wolves evolved once more. Each person had a wolf head mask on and held a lighter in hand. "Click, click." The crisp sound of lighters igniting rang out in unison. Have you seen "Young and Dangerous"? Theres a classic scene in it with Chen Haonan and Mountain Chicken, each with a lighter, walking slowly with the "click, click" sounds, effortlessly cool. Now, more than 60 people wearing wolf head masks were performing the action. That momentum. Was much more imposing than in "Young and Dangerous." This group took over the entire 15-meter-wide pedestrian street, spreading like crabs, marching mightily to the rhythm of "click, click!" Can you imagine the scene? The people on the commercial street were stunned, forgetting what they had come for, making way and watching this scene with rapt attention. "Damn, thats freaking awesome!" "Awesome! What event is this?" "I havent heard of any!" "Ive got to record this, record this!" "..." "Waka waka!" Lu Xiaobu was thrilled, extending his hand out: "Greetings, comrades!" The scoundrels also played along. After all, everyone was wearing a mask. Whos afraid?: "Greetings, spoilt prodigal!" "Pfft!" All the bystanders were cracking up. "Holy smokes, thats epic!" "I cant handle it, Im going to die of laughter!" "Lu Xiaobu, this prodigal, is so badass!" "..." Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan mingled in the crowd, not daring to take off their maskstoo embarrassing! "Comrades, youve worked hard." Lu Xiaobu couldnt care less. He was happy, thrilled, and feeling fantastic! Did he care about what these people thought? He did not! All laws follow the heart; as long as hes happy, thats what matters. "The spoilt prodigal has worked hard!" This time, it wasnt just the scoundrels shouting. Many spectators joined in the chant as well. While shouting, they all laughed! "Ha ha ha, its so funny, so funny! The spoilt prodigal has worked hard. Was it really hard for the prodigal?" "Keep it going, keep it going!" "Yeah, keep it going!" "..." The atmosphere grew even more spirited, and Lu Xiaobu became even more excited. "Raise your hands, let me see you exist!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily. "Roar!" A burst of cheering erupted from the surrounding crowd. More and more onlookers raised their hands. And as the crowd grew, each face was lit up with a hearty laugh. "Not enough!" Lu Xiaobu pointed to a nearby mobile store: "Mobile store, play some music, lets get moving!" "Done!" The mobile store owner laughed heartily, cranking the volume all the way up. The street instantly resonated with incredibly powerful music. Lu Xiaobu gestured again: "Toy store, let off the fireworks! Balloons, rise!" "Understood!" Countless balloons soared into the sky along with the vigorous music. "Yay!" A wave of excited cries rose from the crowd, as more and more people joined the previously mocked event! They couldnt help themselves, they were utterly drawn in! "Young Master Bu, here." Li Qiang was a quick thinker; a spin of his eyes, and he rode over on a tricycle from a shops doorway. "Got it!" Lu Xiaobu laughed out loud, standing straight in the carts bin: "Reward, a thousand." "Young Master Bu, long live!" Li Qiang was extremely excited. Of course, even though it was a tricycle, Li Qiang wasnt the one to drive it; Zhang Meng took over the drivers seat proactively. Li Qiang wouldnt be left behind; from who knows where, he snatched a microphone and handed it to Lu Xiaobu. "Ha ha ha, awesome! Another thousand for you!" Lu Xiaobu stood on the vehicle, took the microphone, his face flushed with excitement. Seeing Lu Xiaobu take the microphone, the whole commercial street went silent, all eyes on Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu stretched out the sounds, excitedly saying: "Aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, grannies and grandpas, lets accompany the music, raise your hands, wave... wave... wave... wave..." With every word Lu Xiaobu uttered, the excitement in the street people rose by another notch, and when it came to that drawn out "wave" ... Everyone tensed their muscles, as if holding back a forceful energy! The rhythm was entirely under Lu Xiaobus control! This left Zhou Jingyuan utterly astonishedhow could this spendthrift have such a strong infectious charisma?! "Rise up!" After a lengthy build-up, Lu Xiaobu finally shouted out the last two words. "Yay!" It was as if a silver jug just burst and the water surged forth! The atmosphere on the commercial street hit its peak the moment these two words were spoken! "Who am I?!" Lu Xiaobu called out loudly. "The spoilt prodigal, Lu Xiaobu!" The voices were exhausted but reverberated throughout the entire commercial street. "Boil over for me!" Lu Xiaobu commanded loudly. "Lu Xiaobu!" "Spoilt prodigal!" "Lu Xiaobu!" "Spoilt prodigal!" "..." The shouting grew louder and more urgent with each call. Even Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan forgot their shyness, shouting: "Lu Xiaobu, spoilt prodigal!" Even they were influenced by Lu Xiaobu. Their rationality could no longer suppress their emotions! At this moment, the spoilt prodigal Lu Xiaobu became the sole ruler here! Chapter 24: The Killing Qi【Request for collection, request for recommendation】 Chapter 24: Chapter 24: The Killing QiRequest for collection, request for recommendationAt this moment, the business street could no longer be called a business street, but had completely turned into a super luxurious giant bar. The sky was filled with countless balloons and fireworks... Lingering in the ears was the extremely intense heavy metal music... Shouted from the mouths was a loud and rapid slogan of prodigal sons... And what caught the eye was the hungry wolf team led by Lu Xiaobu. Even though their ears could no longer hear other sounds, the action of the lighter constantly being lit and extinguished made them clearly hear the crisp sound of the lighter. Actually, many people didnt know why they were chanting Lu Xiaobus name; they even forgot what they were currently doing. That kind of excitement and fervor, like an epidemic, made them involuntarily immerse themselves and reluctant to leave! You should know that even Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan had let go of all their shyness and joined the revelry, who else could remain calm in such a situation? The event that Lu Xiaobu spontaneously started had easily captured everyones hearts, letting them celebrate for Lu Xiaobu, thrilling for Lu Xiaobu! "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu held the microphone. Hearing that Lu Xiaobu was about to speak again, the noise on the streets gradually subsided. Everyones eyes were filled with anticipation, wondering what Lu Xiaobu was going to do next. After all, every time Lu Xiaobu spoke, they became even more frenetic. And then... "Im hungry, lets go eat." Lu Xiaobu tossed the microphone aside and patted his belly. He had had enough fun. This is him, the willful him. When he wanted to have fun, he didnt care about anyone elses gaze; likewise, when he wanted to end, he wouldnt care about anyone elses attitude either! Because he calls the shots! "Holy shit!" Everyone fainted. Wu Qianmin said in despair, "Only Lu Xiaobu could make thousands of people say holy shit at the same time." Those classmates also tightly fastened their masks onto their headscareful to avoid being hit, at least it could protect their faces. "Lets eat, lets eat..." Lu Xiaobu led the crowd excitedly towards his familys restaurant. The people on the street watched Lu Xiaobu and their retreating figures, grinding their teeth in anger. "Damn it, like watching a movie that gets to the most thrilling part, Ive even taken off my pants, and then it buffers indefinitely, whats the difference?" "Exactly, I was just getting hyped up, and he tells me hes gone soft? Outrageous!" "No way, Im going to follow him." "Why are you following him?" "I dont know, but I feel like I cant just hype up for nothing, there has to be some outcome!" "Right, and there might even be some follow-up program." S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Lets go, lets go!" "..." Thousands of people just stared intensely at the backs of the hungry wolf team, following them forward. Apart from Lu Xiaobu, who was still very happy, the other students felt the full malice of those gazes on their backs, giving them a chilling feeling; they were so scared that they even stopped the action of flicking their lighters! Through this, the gap between them and Lu Xiaobu was clear! ... Outside the Lu Family restaurant. "What happened outside?" Xu Yi, sweating profusely, came out of the kitchen. He had already received the bosss notification that there would be a major operation today, telling him to prepare enough boiled water and cabbage in advance. "Holy crap, whats going on?" Xu Yi had just arrived at the entrance when he immediately sensed a powerful resentment hitting him right in the face. Then. "Xu Yi!" Xiaobu saw Xu Yi and suddenly exclaimedfood is here! "Eh?! Is it him?!" The people full of resentment, upon hearing Xiaobus words, collectively fixed their gazes on Xu Yi from the restaurant. As a chef who had slaughtered countless chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep, Xu Yi instantly felt a murderous aura assailing him, sending a chill from his feet straight to his crown. His first reaction wasclose the shop, shut down, hide! No, Young Master Bu is still there, cant hide! Remembering Young Master Bus kindness towards him, Xu Yi suddenly mustered up the courage, swiftly grabbed two kitchen knives from the kitchen, and then charged out. He wildly waved the two kitchen knives in the air, shouting at the crowd: "Who dares to touch my Young Master Bu! Ill fight you with my life! Aah..." Because he was preparing boiled cabbage today, he still had some chicken and duck blood on him, which, combined with the crazily swinging large kitchen knives, truly gave off a murderous butcher vibe. The resentful crowd suddenly pausedwhat the heck is this? "Uh... I didnt say I wanted human meat buns," Xiaobu couldnt help but laugh while looking at Xu Yi: "Stop showing off, Xu Yi, start cooking, Im hungry, theyre all here to eat." "Young Master Bu, dont be afraid... Eh?! Here to eat?! Really?" Xu Yi suddenly paused, his kitchen knives stopping mid-air, and asked incredulously. "I seriously tell you, really," Xiaobu said earnestly. "Ah...hahaha! Look at this mess..." Xu Yi immediately turned a deep shade of red, caught in a dilemma whether to throw the kitchen knives or not, awkwardly stood therea chef brandishing knives at customers, if this got out, wouldnt he become a laughing stock?! "Out of loyalty, reward, five thousand," Xiaobu burst into laughter, turned around, and shouted to the people behind: "See? My chef is awesome! Come and eat here, if anyone dares to bully you, just shut the door, release Xu Yi, call on my name Xie Xiaobu, slice, dice, braise, fry, all up to you!" The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, the tense atmosphere loosening. "Hahaha!" "Interesting, interesting, if not for anything else, just for this badass chef, Im eating here today." "Chef Xu Yi, dont put down the kitchen knives, lets take a photo together." "Yes yes, me too, I want a photo." "..." The embarrassment on Xu Yis face was washed away by everyones enthusiasm, he looked at Xiaobu with immense gratitude: "Thank you, Young Master Bu." He knew this was Young Master Bu deliberately helping him out. He somewhat understood why Lu Hongbin said that Young Master Bus men are utterly devoted. If he had such a boss, why wouldnt he be utterly devoted too? Yeah, definitely cant let Lu Hongbin hear this! "Alright, Xu Yi, Im hungry, is the boiled cabbage still available?" Xiaobu rubbed his stomach and asked. "Yes, yes, just a moment, Young Master." Upon hearing Xiaobus order, Xu Yi immediately escaped the people wanting photos with him and dashed to the back kitchen. Actually, by this time, peoples interest had mostly dissipated, many were getting ready to leave, after all, not everyone wanted to eat at this time. But people were then captivated by the dish name mentioned by Xiaobu, one by one looking at Xiaobu puzzled. "Boiled cabbage? What is that?" "Yes, it sounds like a dish name, but isnt this name too simple?" "Exactly, I remember once at a big restaurant, even smashing a cucumber was called Thunderstruck Golden Dragon, scared the hell out of me! But now such a plain name?" "Could it really just be boiled cabbage?" "I dont believe it, youd have to kill me before Id believe that a spendthrift would eat such a plain dish." "Me neither, I must see whats special about this dish." "..." Just like that, with doubts, confusion, and a thirst for knowledge, people awaited the appearance of this utterly plain dish! However, they were destined to be disappointed, as the appearance of boiled cabbage was as low as its name suggests! Chapter 25: Eating Vegetables Leads to Spring Fever [Please Collect, Please Recommend] Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Eating Vegetables Leads to Spring Fever [Please Collect, Please Recommend]"Young Master, youre here. Where shall we eat?" Xu Yi carefully carried out the steaming-hot boiled cabbage and came out. "Lets just eat here, theres no room inside." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. Zhang Meng immediately volunteered to move the tables and chairs outside. Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands together and sat down. "Young Master, please." Xu Yi set down the dish and opened the lid. Instantly, a delicate cabbage lotus quietly floated in the soup that was clear as water, looking very simple. The onlookers, seeing the boiled cabbage without a trace of oil, were all stunned. "Wow, it really is boiled cabbage! Exactly as the name implies." "No way, I cant believe Lu Xiaobu would eat something so plain? I wouldnt even eat it." "Exactly! Its utterly unappetizing." "..." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said: "Xu Yi, give each of these classmates a portion." "Yes, Young Master." Xu Yi immediately got ready. "Everyone, sit down, sit down." Lu Xiaobu invited the Hungry Wolf Team to sit down. Thanks to Xu Yis preparations in advance, serving boiled cabbage to over sixty people was quite easy. Soon, everyone had a serving of boiled cabbage in front of them. However, not a single student picked up their chopsticks, simply because what was in front of them didnt stir up any desire to eat. They also wonderedwhy would Lu Xiaobu serve them this? Boiled cabbage? If we wanted to eat this, would we need to follow Lu Xiaobu? Could it be because he gave us too much reward before, and now he wants to save money? Zhou Jingyuan was also puzzled as she looked at Lu Xiaobu: "Hey, Xiaobu, thats not very nice. Even if youd served two home-style dishes it would be fine, but whats this?" However, Wu Qianmin couldnt hold back anymore, she fidgeted in her chair, unsure whether she should start eating first. "Ahem." Lu Xiaobu didnt mind them, he picked up a piece of cabbage lotus, stuffed it into his mouth, and blissfully said: "Mmm, even tastier than yesterdays!" Hearing Lu Xiaobu chewing, Wu Qianmin finally couldnt stand it anymore: "I cant take it!" She threw caution to the wind, ripped off her elegant facade, and began eating her portion of boiled cabbage. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Unlike Lu Xiaobu, who devoured hungrily, she ate the white lotus gently, nibbling from the outside in. Immersed in the delicious food, she immediately ignored the glances from those around. With every bite, she felt her soul elevate, intoxicated and blissful, a rosy flush of happiness bloomed on her cheeks like a ripe apple, tempting anyone who looked her way. A low growl of satisfaction escaped her, she murmured: "Ah... delicious, even the second time its irresistible!" "And indeed, its even tastier than yesterday, all the fragrance and flavor deeply embedded within the dish, bursting out only at the moment of tasting, straight to the soul!" "Its like, not flying for three years, then soaring to the skies in one goa burst of exhilarating joy!" "Youre right! Xu Yi, reward, five thousand!" Lu Xiaobu quickly nodded in agreement. "Thank you, Young Master Bu!" Xu Yi, hearing Wu Qianmins comments and Young Master Bus approval, couldnt help but chuckle gleefully. He didnt sleep all of last night, meticulously figuring out how to make the soup more like plain water. Now, this boiled cabbage really lives up to its name. Unless you taste it, you wont see any color or smell a hint of aroma! But once you taste it, I guarantee itll make you swallow your tongue! "Wow, Wu Qianmin, do you have to be so exaggerated?" Zhou Jingyuan was dumbfounded: "Its just eating vegetables, why do you look like youre in heat?" Spicy talk, thats just how she is! But such frank words didnt even slightly catch the normally shy Wu Qianmins attention! "I cant help it, I have to try it too." Moved, Zhou Jingyuan, always a fiery soul, suddenly ripped off her mask and picked up the cabbage lotus. Next second. "Ah... Delicious, so delicious! I cant take it anymore!" Yes, Zhou Jingyuan has gone crazy too! Now everyones eyes went wide. They hadnt paid much attention with the masks on, but now both lovely faces were revealed, one plump and one skinny, complemented by those extremely seductive expressions, it made countless men secretly swallow their saliva. A bowl of boiled cabbage can make someone react like this? "Damn it, who cares, I cant stand it anymore, I need to try it." Among the students, Li Qiang was the first who couldnt take it anymore, he pulled down his mask and began to taste the boiled cabbage. "Oh my God! How is this possible? How can it be so delicious!? I cant take it anymore!" Li Qiang also got lost in the flavors. But he didnt have the same meticulous tasting idea like Wu Qianmin or Zhou Jingyuan, instead, he wolfed it down like Lu Xiaobu, not even leaving the soup behind. After finishing the soup, he covered his mouth and dared not breathe for a long time, scared of letting that delicious taste escape. Li Qiangs action was like flipping a switch. The lowlifes from Class 6 couldnt take it anymore, one after another, they ripped off their masks and started eating. And then, "My God!" "Damn!" "Delicious, so delicious that Id give anything for this dish! Thank you, Young Master Bu!" "No, I ate too quickly just now, I didnt savor it properly, Im so regretful!" "Damn it, I cant take it anymore, Im going to burst, my soul is trembling." "Awesome..." "..." The male students were all cursing and expressing their excitement, while the female students were all moaning, expressing bliss! Xu Yi looked at this scene and chuckled No one can resist Young Master Bus boiled cabbage! Absolutely no one! Young Master Bu is awesome! People around were dumbfounded. "Come on, does it need to be this exaggerated?" "Yeah, it just looks like plain boiled cabbage, its not just for show right?" "Damn it, Im getting excited just by watching, is this even about eating anymore?" "I have to try it too!" "Chopper Chef, give me a plate too." "Me too, me too, I want it as well!" "..." Xu Yi looked at these people demanding dishes, then turned to Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master, they..." "Oh, if they want to eat let them pay for it themselves, remember to make the price clear to avoid any misunderstandings." Lu Xiaobu, with cabbage stuffed in his mouth, mumbled he could still recognize who was close and who wasnt. "Yes, Young Master." Xu Yi quickly noddedPhew, thank goodness the Young Master didnt treat everyone on his own, otherwise, wed lose money big time. The bystanders hearing this conversation suddenly became agitated. "Hey hey hey, what do you mean? Its just boiled cabbage, cant we afford it?" "Exactly, exactly, weve even tried the Thunderstruck Golden Dragon cucumber salad that costs over a hundred, how bad could one boiled cabbage be?" "Yeah, bring it on, whats there to worry about?" "..." A fat man stepped forward, disdain written all over his face: "Tch, I cant stand the pretentiousness of you rich folks. Come on, give Fat Master here ten portions. Who doesnt have some change in their pocket these days?" "You really want to eat?" Xu Yi asked seriously. "Certain, absolutely and definitely," the fat man said. Xu Yi was overjoyed: "Thank you. One portion of boiled cabbage is 998, ten portions total 9980, no bargaining. Would you like to pay by card or cash?" "Pfft!" The fat man spat out a mouthful of blood! Chapter 26 Can’t Refuse at All!

Thank you, thank you! Listening to Xu Yis quote on boiled cabbage in water. "Pfft!" The fat man spewed out a mouthful of blood scornfully: "Are you kidding me? Just boiling cabbage in water, even if its delicious, youre asking for 998 from me?" Not just him, everyone around sprayed. "Holy crap, 998? Are you messing with me?" "Are you kidding?" "Enough is enough! We all came to support your business, joking is fine, but dont take it too far." "Exactly, just a dish of boiled cabbage in water, and its worth 998?" "..." "Sorry, Im not joking." Xu Yi shrugged, speaking earnestly: "Boiled cabbage in water is indeed 998 per serving, and we are already losing money on this. Plus, its limited supply, sold until its gone, no waiting if its too late." "Fine, very fine, consider me scared! You are a rip-off! I see now, this has all been a show youve directed from the start, its all a display! Just to trap us ordinary folks!" Listening to Xu Yis firm words, the fat man was so angry he gritted his teeth: "Everyone please believe me, my Weibo is named Yumian Chilong. I have some status in Shimen Citys food scene, Ive seen plenty of tricks like this!" People will do anything just to save face, the fat man had to accuse the restaurant of being a black shop to avoid others from saying hes blowing hot air and cant afford it. Hearing the fat mans self-introduction, the surrounding people suddenly realized. "So its you, Yumian Chilong." "I am actually a fan of yours, Yumian Chilong, your words definitely hold credibility." "It seems everything today has been for show!" "..." "Please dont slander." Xu Yi, hearing the fat mans smear, was extremely angry, really wanted to hit this guy with a broom! The fat man sneered, pointing at the class six students and said: "Slander? Are they all paying 998 per dish? Dont say its Lu Xiaobu treating, if it is, it confirms you are putting on a show!" "This..." Xu Yi, hearing the fat mans words, was suddenly stunned. What to do now? The students were indeed guests of Young Master Bu, now it seems they cant even speak the truth. Otherwise, its like mud stuck on the crotch not crap, but might as well be! "Huh? Nothing to say now, huh. I just guaranteed, these students definitely cant even take out a hundred bucks, let alone 998!" The fat man yelled: "A black shop, absolutely a black shop! Ive seen this trick many times." Passersby also started to get angry. "You Lu Family are too much, we all see each other often, why do this?" "Indeed, the Lu Family used to be very good, since when did you start scamming people?" "You..." Peoples emotions escalated, and it made it seem like the Lu Familys restaurant was putting poison in the food, universally condemned. But what nobody noticed was, a person with a sleazy look on his face showed a thrilled smile and sneakily left the crowd. At this moment, the fat man triumphantly looked at Xu Yi: "Thatll teach you to scam me, now you have nothing to say! Ill make it easy for you, if there is one person who can take out 998, Ill buy one serving, ten people, Ill buy ten servings, and I mean it!" "Hey, fatty." Li Qiang, relishing the deliciousness of the boiled cabbage water, called out to the fat man: "Hey, look over here." The fat man turned to look. Li Qiang waved at him and then pulled out a thousand yuan from his chest and slapped it on the table, coldly saying: "Heres a thousand, the additional two is for you, do you want some points?" "This!" The fat mans face suddenly turned green he had just said that people had no money. But he would not admit defeat, stubbornly saying: "Just because you have money doesnt prove anything." "Slap!" The student to the left of Li Qiang pulled out a thousand yuan and slapped it on the table, coldly looking at the fat man. The fat mans face flushed red: "Thats just two..." "Slap!" The student to the right of Li Qiang pulled out a thousand yuan and slapped it on the table, coldly looking at the fat man. Fattys head began to sweat: "Its just..." "Slap.Slap.Slap.Slap!" Before Fatty could finish his sentence, including Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan, 62 students each took out a thousand yuan and slapped it on the table, all sneering at Fatty. They wouldnt stand by and let Lu Xiaobu be slandered. "I... you... you guys..." Fatty felt like cryingcome on, thats not fair, thats bullying! The thudding sound of the money hitting the table felt like a slap in his own face! The passersby also quieted down, their faces reddening in embarrassment, staying in place awkwardly. "Er... seems like we wronged a good person." "They came with money!" "Done for, totally humiliated!" "..." Li Qiang sneered on the sideFatty, youre so unlucky, usually we cant do anything about you, but today, Young Master Bu just gave each of us a thousand yuan in school! Youve got a big mouth! Xu Yi immediately added fuel to the fire with a smile: "998 per portion, a total of 62 portions, making it 61876 yuan. For todays grand opening, aiming for good luck, Ill write off the change of 76, making it 61800 yuan total. Credit card or cash?" Fattys liver achedover 60,000 yuan, am I insane, what was I bragging about, doing what I said I would, what now? He stood there, unable to find peace, his face hurting immensely, not knowing whether to go or stay. "Alright, alright, we were just kidding. Were all from the same place, we wouldnt really make you pay over sixty thousand." But Xu Yi suddenly smoothed things over: "If you really can afford it, buy one portion to try, guaranteed to be more than worth it. This is a dish personally guided by our Young Master Bu." Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When running a business, you cant be unreasonably harsh, especially with Young Master Bu present, and his every action could easily be seen as representing Young Master Bu. Cant embarrass Young Master Bu! "Alright, alright." Fatty hurriedly took the way out: "I apologize for my irresponsible words just now. Ill buy one portion to try." "Alright, please wait a moment," Xu Yi said with a smile. Soon. A portion of Boiled Cabbage in Plain Water was served, placed in front of Fatty. Fatty opened the lid, looked at it, sniffed it, and turned to Xu Yi: "Although I did misspeak earlier, is this boiled cabbage really worth 998 yuan? After all, a dish should have color, scent, and taste, but now it has no color, no scent, and a name so low its a blast, making me really skeptical." "Eat it and you will see," Xu Yi smiled mysteriously. "This dish concocted by Young Master Bu, if it doesnt blow your taste buds away, Im not Xu Yi." "Youll see, be careful to not end up unable to salvage the situation like I did just now," Fatty sneered. "However, if your product is indeed worth the price, I will recommend it." He frowned, picked up his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of cabbage, placing it in his mouth. The moment his tongue touched the cabbage... "Boom!" A thunderous sound that didnt exist in reality suddenly resounded in his mind, stunning him on the spot! An explosive taste experience instantly spread through his body like lightning, electrifying and numbing him! His previous disbelief, distrust, and distaste were completely washed away in this explosive eruption. He had never thought that plain, scentless boiled cabbage could explode with such an intense and explosive flavor in an instant. This absolute contrast highlighted the marvelous flavor all the more! How could he refuse? How could he possibly refuse? Absolutely irresistible! "Fatty, Fatty, thats a chopstick, stop chewing on it." Xu Yi quickly woke Fatty who almost bit the chopstick in half. "Ah? Oh! Cough cough cough!" Fatty, dazed, quickly pulled the chopstick out of his mouth. "Is it really that good?" Passersby asked, seeing Fattys stupefied expression. "Tasty? No, not tasty!" Fatty suddenly shook his head like crazy: "Mr. Xu, I said I wanted ten portions earlier, right? I think I must do what I said, come on, give me ten portions." Everyone around was instantly stunned. "Not tasty, but ordering ten?" "Is his brain damaged?" "Er... I think I understand. Did the boss say its a limited supply, not waiting for anyone?" "Holy crap!" "Holy crap! Holy crap!" "Fatty, Yumian Chilong, you shameless loser, trying to hog it all?!" "..." Chapter 27 Damn it, kill him! [Please favorite, please recommend!] Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Damn it, kill him! [Please favorite, please recommend!]Today is Monday, a great time to charge up the ranks, brothers, lend a hand! Those who have tickets, give two, those who dont, click away, even a click is deeply appreciated! Thank you, thank you all! After such a stir caused by an outsider, many people began to believe in the charm of the boiled cabbage in plain water, and they poured into the Lu Family restaurant, filling the not-so-large dining area to the brim. Of course, at most, there were just under a hundred people, so with thousands of onlookers, having about a hundred come to dine seems like the conversion rate isnt that high. But this was enough to make Xu Yi ecstatic. After all, the boiled cabbage in plain water wasnt originally meant for the general public; its price was not something ordinary people could afford. Getting one customer was considered a win, each one was a profit! And the fatty before was eating with utter delight. Lu Xiaobu was full and satisfied, patting his stomach: "Damn, thats great, lets go, go, go, time to blow money on cars!" However, Wu Qianmins expression wasnt looking too well, passing over the phone: "Xiaobu, take a look at this." "Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu took the phone, glanced at it, and his face turned sour, full of annoyance: "WQNMLGB! Which son of a b**** is talking nonsense?" The phone screen prominently displayed the Weibo trending search. "Rip-off boiled cabbage in plain water, astonishingly priced at 998" "Rich but unkind, a scourge to the community, source of the wastrels extravagance" "Yumian Chilong personally visits the scene, denounces deceitful practices, Lu family turns a blind eye" Several Weibo posts used incredibly venomous language to describe the boiled cabbage in plain water as a forceful sale, exploiting consumers, and they linked this issue with Lu Xiaobus wasteful behavior, accusing the Lu family of funding Lu Xiaobus extravagance with such methods! Not only that, but Weibo also had photos of Yumian Chilong and their groups previous disbelief in the taste of the boiled cabbage in plain water. In the photo, Yumian Chilongs and the bystanders anger was clearly visible. With pictures comes undeniable truth, it truly cant be washed away even if one jumped into the Yellow River. And these few Weibo posts, in a short span of time, rapidly reached over a hundred thousand shares online, and topics on the Lu family wastrel and being rich but unkind surged up the trending list rapidly. Many big Vs re-shared these Weibo posts. Among them, the most fierce and harsh one was the gourmet blogger "Taste of Life". Taste of Life: "My dear followers, this Lu family is really too deplorable, especially that wastrel Lu Xiaobu, whos always committing all sorts of evil, a scourge to the community." "At first, I thought the Lu family only had this one bad seed, but now it seems, like father like son, if the beam is not straight the shadow will slant. They dare to price a clear and simple boiled cabbage in plain water at 998, do they think everyone else is a fool?" "I suggest, lets boycott the Lu family altogether, especially that wastrel Lu Xiaobu! This kind of rich but unkind person doesnt deserve to earn money, let them experience the life of the poor." The comments section turned upside down. First floor: "F*** the Lu family, Ive heard of that wastrels reputation long ago, total scum." Second floor: "Indeed, as they say, a rats son will make holes." Third floor: "Boycott the malicious Lu family, let them go bankrupt and see how hard it is to earn money legitimately!" Fourth floor: "No wonder that Lu Xiaobu is so skinny, I reckon its all due to the misdeeds hes done, karma!" "..." "Hey, fatty, do you still have a face?!" Li Qiang, fuming with rage, walked up to the fatty: "You ate so happily, and still go online to spread rumors?" "Huh?" The fatty looked completely dumbfounded, quickly checked his phone, and cursed furiously: "Who the hell is this? When did I ever say such things? I was eating so joyfully, when did I ever denounce anything?" "Alright, it probably wasnt him, but still, having him make a clarification is necessary." Zhou Jingyuan shook her head, anger also apparent in her eyes: "Otherwise, if this goes on unchecked, it will likely severely affect the Lu familys reputation and could even plunge the Lu family into a crisis of trust." Wu Qianmin asked worriedly: "What should we do? No idea who could be this vicious. If the misunderstanding isnt cleared up, it could turn problematic. It would then be tough for Uncle Lu and the others to do business." "Exactly, youre right," Xu Yi also voiced his concerns: "Looks like its a competitor. It seems we should contact the boss; this is beyond us." "By the way, Young Master Bu, what are your thoughts?" Xu Yi continued to inquire, although he knew Young Master Bu didnt handle affairs, it was out of respect to ask him nonetheless. "Huh? What should I do?" Lu Xiaobu looked up, fuming with anger: "Curse him! Son of a bitch! Dares to insult me? And to insult my family?" Calling him a good-for-nothing, he doesnt care. Calling him a curse, hes very annoyed! But insulting his family, saying theyre crooked? He will curse the shit out of them! While saying that, he sent out the comment he had edited: "f*ck your mom, shithead, your moms a bitch!" "Uh..." everyone fell silent. "Xiaobu, this isnt okay. Even if Im not familiar with handling this, I still know that you shouldnt add fuel to the fire. This will only exacerbate the conflict," said Zhou Jingyuan. "Yeah, Young Master Bu. In the past, I saw the boss handling things gently, trying to minimize big issues and resolve small ones, letting the problem vanish into thin air," Xu Yi also advised. "Lu! Xiao! Bu! Thats my account," Wu Qianmin yelled frantically. "Handle it gently my ass, theyve insulted me, the Young Master, and you want gentle handling?" Lu Xiaobu slammed the table, shouting dissatisfied: "Xu Yi, if you dont call my brother right now, and if he doesnt fight them to the death with a knife, Ill call you Grandpa today!" "Uh..." everyone went silent again. Yeah, the Lu Family can endure business competition. But to insult Lu Xiaobu by calling him a rat, cursed... Better not to inform the Lu Family, otherwise, they would really fight to the death with knives! This family is like this, Lu Xiaobu is their Achilles heel, and likewise, they are also Lu Xiaobus Achilles heel! Three seconds later. The few who were previously opposed changed their stance! "Xiaobu, use my account however you want." Wu Qianmin sighed. "Young Master Bu, should we go directly after him? Ill grab a cleaver." Xu Yi rolled up his sleeves. "Should I call and get him blacklisted?" Zhou Jingyuan took out her phone and said. "No need, just scold him, curse him to death!" Lu Xiaobu gestured grandly, addressing the scumbags from class six: "Its time to show your skills, curse them for me, there will be a reward for doing it well!" "At your command!" The students rejoicedother skills they might lack, but cursing others was definitely their expertise! ... Shimens wealthiest, the Liu Family. Liu Changlong sat in his custom-made boss chair, swirling the 88 Lafite wine in his luminous cup, watching the fifty-five-inch LCD screen in front of him. The screen was displaying the Weibo for The Taste of Life, and as he watched the comments insulting Lu Xiaobu and the Lu Family grow, he revealed a smug smile. "Hmph, Lu Xiaobu, dare to oppose me? Ill let you know what the word death looks like. It was fine when I didnt have a chance to get you, but you had to go and dig your own grave, so dont blame me," Liu Changlong sneered. "Young Master Liu, The Taste of Life has noticed Wu Qianmins account cursing out others, theyre asking if the Lu Family has begun to strike back?" a voice came through Liu Changlongs Bluetooth earpiece. At the same time, on the LCD screen in front of Liu Changlong, Wu Qianmins comments were found among the barrage of comments, enlarged, and displayed on the screen. Wu Qianmin: "f*ck your mom, shithead, your moms a bitch!" "Wu Qianmin? No, thats wrong, Wu Qianmin wouldnt speak so crudely, Lu Xiaobu is an idiot, this must have been sent by Zhou Jingyuan," Liu Changlong looked at the vulgar words and disdainfully said: "Tell The Taste of Life not to worry, no matter how the other side retaliates, just destroy the Lu Familys image thoroughly in the shortest time. I want to cut off the root of Lu Xiaobus reckless spending!" "At your command." The Bluetooth earpiece once again relayed a response. Liu Changlong sipped his wine, then placed it on the table, his face taking on a sinister smile: "What influence in school? Its all trivial. If I dont act, its fine, but once I do, Ill sever your roots completely, leaving you no chance to turn things around!"

But unfortunately, there were too few students in class six, and their so-called counterattacks were often drowned out in countless comments in an instant, without causing any ripples. Instead, every one of their curses became a tool for others to attack them. Take an example! Li Qiang: "Idiotic Delicious Life, you actually slander Young Master Bu, do you have no shame?" First Floor: "Youre the idiot, when has Delicious Life ever slandered anyone? Plus, just listen to how you address Lu Xiaobu, its obvious youre one of Lu Xiaobus people, you stinky idiot!" Second Floor: "I go to nm! This is slander, Lu Xiaobu is a prodigal son, saying hes a misfortune, is there something wrong with that?" Third Floor: "You who start by cursing, still have the nerve to speak of reason? I was half-convinced before, but now I believe it, Lu Xiaobu is indeed an idiot!" Fourth Floor: "..." ... 999th Floor: "..." ... 9999th Floor: "..." Right, its worth mentioning that the development trajectory of this world is different from Earth, Weibo appeared before smartphones, and even old mobile phones could use the web to access Weibo. ... "Young Master, we cant hold on," said Li Qiang, looking miserable: "I, a nobody, have already accumulated over ten thousand followers, 9999 of whom are haters, with the remaining one being my alt account, I really cant handle it!" The fatty was also furious: "Damn it, I personally clarified, but people are saying I was coerced, even that Ive been bought off, a bunch of bastards! They demand actual pictures for proof, not even believing my own words! They are really talented at inverting right and wrong!" Wu Qianmin was even crying: "Xiaobu, using my Weibo has led to me being cursed so terribly..." "Exactly, were too few in number, just a few dozen of us, while they have hundreds of thousands of fans, we simply cant out-curse them." Zhou Jingyuan also advised, "Otherwise, shall we think of another solution?" "Cant out-curse? Motherf*!" Lu Xiaobu slammed his phone on the table, full of displeasure, "Cant out-curse? What kind of joke is that? Call a troll army for Young Master, I have loads of money!" Being cursed at and still holding back is not in his nature. "Troll army?" Wu Qianmin was taken aback, "What is a troll army?" "Seriously? You dont even know what a troll army is? Its those teams that help people curse at others." Now it was Lu Xiaobus turn to be stunnedHow can it be that while Weibo exists, the troll army doesnt? "What exactly is a troll army?" Zhou Jingyuan was also confused. "Forget it, I know now. It seems I have to start this industry myself." Lu Xiaobu sighedHe hadnt expected the people in this world to be adorably excessive, lacking even the indispensable necessity of the era like a troll army. Lu Xiaobu: "Li Qiang." Li Qiang: "Present!" Lu Xiaobu: "I now appoint you as the chief of the troll army, and all students in class six as troll army leaders!" Li Qiang: "Yes! May I ask, what does a troll army do?" Lu Xiaobu: "Specialize in cursing people!" Li Qiang: "Alright, Young Master, no problem, Young Master." Lu Xiaobu: "Now, everyone, stop all attacks on Delicious Life, go to various social platforms to recruit people. Tell them, fifty cents for each comment. Screenshot as proof, pay promptly, first come first served." Li Qiang: "Alright, Young Master. Everyone, lets move." Class six students: "Yes!" Lu Xiaobu: "Remember our principles, one, ensure that I, Young Master, am absolutely right; two, ensure absolute justice; three, if the above two points conflict, refer to the first point!" Class 6 student: "Yes, Young Master! The Young Master is absolutely just!" "Wuh..." Wu Qianmin was speechless. "Wuh..." Zhou Jingyuan also broke down. What is the point of these rules, really? "Young Master, Im in too!" Yumian Chilong suddenly ran over, huffing and puffing, "Although I dont know what Young Master is up to, now theyre smearing Young Masters name using my reputation, I cant just sit idly by; my Weibo still has over a hundred thousand followers, I can surely help Young Master." "Alright, no problem." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand grandly: "Once we take down this hill, well reward according to merit! Follow me, I promise youll eat well and drink well!" "Thank you, Young Master!" Everyone bowed with fists clenched, a gesture laden with the resolve of the devoted! As Lu Xiaobu made arrangements, the mudslinging on Weibo suddenly stalled, and fans of Delicious Life took complete control. "Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu, got nothing to say now, huh? Just admit your mistake early, we might still forgive you." "Dont forgive, who said anything about forgiving? Such scum should starve!" "Down with the uncompassionate Lu Family!" "..." Li Qiang and the others, looking at these comments, were furious yet could only furiously but silently recruit online trolls on various social media platforms. They gritted their teeth in secret dare to slander Young Master Bu, just you wait, once weve gathered enough people, when we come back, well curse you all to death! ... Not to be underestimated, Fattys hundreds of thousands of followers indeed werent for nothing. With Fattys help and assurance... Under Lu Xiaobus financial onslaught... The first and largest trolling army on Water Blue Star, counting over three hundred thousand, was officially established. "Report to Young Master, the troll army is assembled, numbering over three hundred thousand. Shall we launch the attack?" Li Qiang said, his face alight with excitement. At that moment, Lu Xiaobus phone rang. "Hey, Xiaobu, I know about the online issue, you dont worry about it, dont stress out. Big Brother has already sent someone to dig out that bastards address, Im going after him!" The furious voice of Lu Hongbin came through. "Big Brother, no need, Ive already arranged everything. They dare to curse me, Ill make sure they lose sleep over it," Lu Xiaobu said with a cold laugh. "Hm? Xiaobu, dont overdo it. I just saw your counterattack, its too weak. To deal with these people, you need to go hard." The equally furious voice of Lu Wenhao came through, "Dont worry, Second Brother has lots of connections, loads of hacker classmates, athletes, we have plenty of resources! They dare say you cause trouble? Ill make their ancestors graves smoke!" "Exactly, Xiaobu, leave this matter to your Big Brother and Second Brother. If you feel unsatisfied, Ill personally take you over and beat him up," said Father Lu, his voice accompanied by the sound of him banging the table. Hearing their words, Lu Xiaobu felt a warm surge in his heartthis was his family, willing to do anything for him. Wu Qianmin helplessly shook her head. The Lu family was like this, usually, they were indeed philanthropists, doing good deeds was commonplace. But whenever it involved Lu Xiaobu, they all changed completely, even the refined Second Brother exploded with vulgar words, and the self-cultivating Uncle Lu was ready to go beat someone up. However, Zhou Jingyuan showed an envious expression. Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. How she wished she could have such a family. Even though she acted high and mighty and unrestrained daily, only she knewthat was just her feeble resistance against her fate. Listening to his Big Brother and Second Brothers disbelieving words, Lu Xiaobu could only speak up, "Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, theres really no need, Im not being rash, Ive already built up a troll army of three hundred thousand, specifically for hurling insults, about to launch the full assault." Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the Lu men were somewhat dumbfounded. But Liang Lan, known as Tian Jilan, sparkled brilliantly in her eyes. Young Master Bu was miraculous, this was such a terrifying power! If controlled by me, it would be a real army! A troll army under the control of Tian Jilan was about to unleash the most fearsome power in the world of cyberspace! Chapter 29 I’m Not Really Just a Vase【Please Add to Favorites, Please Recommend】 Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Im Not Really Just a VasePlease Add to Favorites, Please Recommend"Water army?" The Lu family members were left dumbfounded by Lu Xiaobus explanation: "Whats a water army?" Meanwhile, Liang Lans beautiful eyes suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance, and she immediately spoke anxiously and respectfully on the phone: "Young Master Bu, could you let me command this water army?" "Liang Lan? You think its possible too?" Mr. Lu was taken aback and asked. "Its definitely possible, its an incredibly terrifying force. Young Master Bu is too amazing!" Liang Lan asserted decisively. "Sister Lan, its not that I dont trust you, but are you up for it?" Lu Xiaobu said somewhat embarrassedly. "I...I can do it." Liang Lan felt like crying out of grievanceYoung Master Bu, you are the only one who dares to say Tian Jilan isnt up to it. But she had to admit that in front of Young Master Bu, especially today, she really wasnt up to it. Her absolutely confident tactics had utterly kneeled before Young Master Bu today. Initially, she planned to organize a unique ceremony to shift everyones focus to boiling cabbage in water. However, Young Master Bu had already thrown a carnival. Looking at that scene, even she was excited. Later, not willing to be outdone, she found out about Yumian Chilongs existence and wanted to leverage Yumian Chilongs influence. Then, Yumian Chilong had already been conquered by boiling cabbage in water. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The most ridiculous thing was that the person who conquered Yumian Chilong turned out to be the scum brought by Young Master Bu, oh my god! And now, as she was deep in thought, trying to find the most appropriate way to help the Lu family out of this crisis of trust. Young Master Bus water army team was established! Young Master Bu, thats not fair, Im not a real vase! "Uh...Xiaobu, Liang Lan can do it," Lu Hongbin said with a wry smile. "Thats right, thats right." Mr. Lu also supported on the side. If they didnt give Liang Lan some encouragement, this girl might really burst into tears. Xiaobu, oh Xiaobu, if people outside knew that the so-called Tian Jilan was on the verge of tears in front of you, I wonder if they would strike us? "Okay then! Sister Lan, Ill leave it to you," Lu Xiaobu decided. "Thank you Young Master Bu, I will not let you down," Liang Lan said gratefully, with tears brimming in her eyes. Finally, finally, she had the chance to show her strengths. Because she was embarrassed, she had already tidied up Young Master Bus room three times! "Very good, Li Qiang, hand over the command to Liang Lan," Lu Xiaobu slammed the table and made the decision. "Understood! We will win this battle! Please, Young Master, give the orders!" Liang Lan immediately stood straight, her fighting spirit high. She must win, otherwise, she would really become just a vase. Otherwise, her daily tasks would be limited to washing clothes and folding blanketsknow that just now, to cover her embarrassment, she had even hand-washed Young Master Bus underwear! Both sides opened the video connection and started a video conference. "Very good, the first task for the water army is..." Lu Xiaobu was focused, fiddling with his cell phone. Everyone on both sides of the video was excited. A water army led by Tian Jilan! If they missed such a scene, they would regret it for life. As soon as Xiaobu gave the order, the war would begin! "Your first task is to like my Weibo post. I want to trend, wahaha!" Lu Xiaobu showed everyone his prepared Weibo postLu Xiaobu is number one in the world! "Im done!" Everyone collapsed, their heads full of black lines! Young Master Bu, you dont play like this, you assemble such a terrifying force, just to get likes for your Weibo? Lus father, unable to help laughing and crying, picked himself up from the ground and pleaded, "Xiaobu, how about we talk about this matter later? Dont forget, that guy is still cursing you out." "Yeah, Xiaobu, just listen to my advice, stop fooling around at this time," Lu Hongbin also said with a wry smile. "No, no, thats not it, Young Master Bu isnt fooling around, this is actually sheer brilliance," Liang Lan said with a look of admiration on her face. "wtf?" Everyone was dumbfounded. "Think about it. Although the paid trolls were hastily gathered under Yumian Chilongs influence, most of them just did it for fun. But now having them like Young Master Bus Weibo, allowing them to truly earn money, that would make them follow orders strictly. This move is just too brilliant! I hadnt even thought of that!" Liang Lan said with immense adoration. Having heard Liang Lans explanation, everyone came to their senses and looked at Lu Xiaobu in shock could it be that Xiaobu had always been this cunning? His action just now even earned Tian Jilans immense admiration? "Why are you looking at me? I just wanted to trend for a bit, but if its going to be like that, then forget it!" Lu Xiaobu scratched his head and spread his hands in resignation. "Uh..." There was a collective silence alright then, their previous judgment mustve been an illusion, this is still the same heartless, wasteful Xiaobu! But regardless, since it was beneficial and could also make Young Master Bu happy, Liang Lan proceeded to carry out the task diligently. Lu Wenhao, the top student, took the initiative to take on the task of confirming missions and distributing the money. Thus, a Weibo post claiming "Lu Xiaobu is number one in the world" quickly trended, receiving over three hundred thousand likes. Of course, it also cost a whopping one hundred and fifty-six thousand three hundred RMB! Anyone who saw this was completely dumbfounded! And those trolls who participated lightheartedly, after receiving the real but modest payment, finally believed that this wasnt just for fun, but there was real money to be made, and suddenly their eyes all sharpened. "There really is money to be made! Fifty cents per like? This money is too easy to earn!" "Holy smokes, Young Master Bu, hurry up and release more tasks. My knife is already thirsting for action!" "Thats right, Im definitely going to make a hundred bucks today!" "..." "Wow haha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily as he watched his Weibo soar in popularity: "Hahaha, this is the power of paid trolls!" "..." Everyone fell silent although what youre saying isnt wrong, and what you did is correct, why do we still have this pit in our stomachs?! "Sister Lan, alright, now lets go beat up that damn rabbit!" Lu Xiaobu, cheered up, issued the real task. "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan immediately nodded in agreement. "First things first, Li Qiang, its you, your task is to lead a hundred thousand people to dominate the hot comments under the Delicious Life Weibo, to recount the events unfoldings, this task is of utmost importance, do you have confidence?" Liang Lan said in an incredibly efficient manner. "Yes! Mission will be accomplished!" Li Qiang shouted immediately. Liang Lan: "Good. Yumian Chilong, I need you to help by posting a clarification on your Weibo." Fatty: "Ive already posted it." "No, not enough, you need to post again, and @ all of the current trending people, as well as the official Weibo accounts of the police and the courts, accuse them of slander, and get your fans to help share to increase the attention. Since the other side wants to make a big deal out of it, lets blow it up!" "Alright, Im duty-bound!" Liang Lan: "Brother Lu..." Lu Hongbin: "Youre the boss now, as long as its for venting Young Master Bus anger, the Lu family will listen to you, just call me by my name." Liang Lan: "Alright then, Lu Hongbin, your Weibo mustve been besieged by now, and without looking, I know most of it is slander against Young Master Bu, but ignore that for now. Post the recipe for boiled cabbage in plain water, and @ all the big shots in the food world you know. Although the impact is slight, its better than nothing." Lu Hongbin: "So I just watch them curse Xiaobu?" A sharp glint appeared in Liang Lans eyes: "Curse? Theyll have their time to cry in a moment." "Alright! Ill follow your lead." Liang Lan: "Lu Wenhao, you are in charge of managing the finances. You must ensure that the salaries of the paid trolls are transferred in real-time; if theres one post, make one payment, and dont complain about the hassle. We must win these peoples loyalty." Lu Wenhao: "No problem, you can count on me." Liang Lan: "As for the rest, divide into teams of ten thousand each, numbered one to twenty, ready to follow my command at any moment." A fierce light blazed in Liang Lans eyes the war had begun! Young Master, I will prove to you that Im not just a decorative vase! Theres one more thing, what exactly did you do last night?

The portly Delicious Life was sitting in front of the computer, holding a very exquisite soup bowl, and sipping his soup leisurely, with two trembling chefs behind him. "The taste of this soup..." Delicious Life spoke softly, with a hint of meaning. "Its a side dish, a side dish." One chef hurriedly took out a stack of cash and gently placed it on the table. "Ah, with the side dish, the taste is much better indeed," Delicious Life said with a smile: "Remember, whenever you serve me soup, you must include a side dish. You can go now, Ill delete the Weibo." "Thank you, thank you so much." The two chefs wiped their sweat and hurried out. They finally understood the terror of this gentleman, simply because a waiter accidentally knocked over this gentlemans cup a few days ago, offending him. It was just a small matter, at most it wouldve been sorted with an apology and waiving the bill, but this gentleman demanded ten thousand, which they refused to give. As a result, with his Weibo post, their restaurant went from bustling to deserted overnight, and in a couple more days, it might have to close for good. So they had no choice but to spend money to avoid the disaster, but even so, the restaurant was greatly weakened by this loss, alas... "Hmph, petty people, trying to fight me," Delicious Life said smugly as he put the money away. "Hm?" He glanced at the computer and saw a comment posted by Li Qiang, and sneered: "Still dare to fight back? The truth? What I said is the truth! Such petty tricks will be drowned out in seconds." The result. One second Two seconds Three seconds ... A minute passed, and Li Qiangs comment was still standing tall, staunchly occupying the top spot in the hot comments. "Hm? I want to see who keeps commenting on your post," Delicious Lifes face soured, was this a slap to his face? He immediately opened Li Qiangs comment. The result. He was dumbfounded after he saw it. The screen full of comments, he could read them at a glance. Because they were all saying the same thing Delicious Life, slandering a good person, Young Master Bu, number one in the world! Delicious Life, slandering a good person, Young Master Bu, number one in the world! Delicious Life, slandering a good person, Young Master Bu, number one in the world! The row upon row of replies were unbelievably orderly, had he not known that Weibo required all real-name registrations, he might have thought they were generated by some bot software in bulk. And his fans curses would be drowned out instantly, practically swept away to Java. "Have these people gone mad? They dont care about the outside criticism, just squatting here brushing comments?" Delicious Life cursed in anger: "Whats the point of brushing such replies? Its not like they make any money, right?" Well, he didnt know that now, all across the country, a large group of people were staring at their shiny phones, sending this reply. Most of them were excitedly muttering while they sent it: "Fifty cents, another fifty cents, and another fifty cents..." What outsiders didnt know was that within this short minute, to vent for Lu Xiaobu, the Lu Family had already sent out 578,205.5 yuan, and this amount was still rapidly climbing. The money was neither petty nor insignificant. But this money wasnt spent for nothing. After all, every netizen following the matter would inevitably look at Delicious Lifes Weibo, and upon seeing his Weibo, they were bound to notice the top comment revealing the truth. "Eh? The truth? Could there be another twist to this matter?" "Thats what Im saying, we seem to have trusted Delicious Life too blindly, you see theres a direct link to Yumian Chilongs Weibo in this comment, which includes Yumian Chilongs clarification, and even tagged the court, saying they will sue for defamation." "Not just that, if you look at the Lu Familys Weibo, they also posted the recipe for plain boiled cabbage. If its true, then the price of 998 is not only reasonable but actually quite cheap." "However, this could also be a deliberate act by the Lu Family, think about Lu Xiaobus usual behavior, I still choose to believe Delicious Life." "Thats right, me too, support Delicious Life, rubbish Lu Family, rubbish Lu Xiaobu!" sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Forget it, Ill look into it more before I talk, one shouldnt falsely accuse others." "I feel the same, lets wait and see." "..." The online tide of public opinion attacking the Lu Family was held back. Although many people still tended to favor Yumian Chilong, it was no longer one-sided; more people chose to wait and see. "Damn it, challenging me? Ever heard of a function called delete?" Yumian Chilong sneered and pressed the delete button on the comments. ... "Report, my comment was deleted, should I repost it?" Li Qiang saw his comment deleted and was furiousYumian Chilong was just shameless! "The time has come!" Liang Lan saw Li Qiangs comment had disappeared, but she rejoiced, her beautiful eyes suddenly bursting with a brilliant lightthis was the moment she had been waiting for! "Li Qiang, have your people repost the comments. Remember, dont take over the hot comments this time. They just need to be in places where people will see them with a bit of scrolling. And lets not have such repetitive responses this time, maintain diversity!" "Yes!" "Teams one to five, go post comments condemning Yumian Chilong for deleting comments, say that hes showing his guilt." "Understood!" "Teams six to ten, go to your own Weibo accounts to post screenshots of Li Qiangs deleted comment, spread it, @ everyone you know." "Received!" "Teams eleven to fifteen, pretend to be ordinary folks muddying the waters, guiding public opinion." "Okay!" "Teams sixteen to twenty, your job is to curse people, curse that old bastard to death!" "No problem!" Liang Lan deployed all three hundred thousand people to launch a full-on attack on Yumian Chilongs Weibo. "Young Master Bu, just you watch. Well soon conquer Yumian Chilongs Weibo. He dared to slander you, Ill make him cry." Liang Lan said with a smile to Lu Xiaobu, taking credit for her work. Lu Xiaobu said excitedly, "So Sister Lan, youre not just a pretty face!" "Of course, Im not just a pretty face." Liang Lan retorted coquettishly. She had received too much praise in the first half of her life and had long become numb to it. She even couldnt remember when was the last time she was happy because of someone elses praise! But today, she felt unusually happy hearing Young Master Bus compliment, which wasnt really a compliment! "Quick, open Weibo, I want to see this guy get cursed out with my own eyes." Lu Xiaobu said, all pumped up. "Sure, Young Master." Liang Lan hurriedly switched the video to put Yumian Chilongs Weibo beside it. The father and son of the Lu Family looked at Liang Lans actions and exchanged glances, each raising an eyebrow, their eyes communicating. Lus father: Xiaobu is not bad! Lu Hongbin: Indeed, indeed, has he already won over Liang Lan? Lu Wenhuo: And its not just any winning over, doing laundry and planning things, fit for both the hall and the kitchen, right? Lus father: Maybe this daughter-in-law isnt too bad? But she is a bit old. Lu Hongbin: An older woman marrying a younger man is like gold bricks, especially since its Tian Jilan? Lu Wenhuo: Exactly, exactly! Liang Lan: "Cough cough cough, although I dont understand your secret eye code, could you not stare so directly? I can guess what youre thinking." "Cough cough cough!" The father and son of the Lu Family blushed and hurriedly made their escape. Chapter 31 Cry When You Need to, Without Any Hesitation [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Cry When You Need to, Without Any Hesitation [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]Delicious Life was concocting a new Weibo post, preparing to counteract the negative impact of deleting comments and smear Lu Xiaobu a bit more... Suddenly... His Weibo was flooded with countless comments and posts cursing him in just an instant. "@DeliciousLife, do you have no shame? How dare you delete comments? Are you feeling guilty?" "Definitely guilty. Why else would you delete comments?" These were the reproaches from teams one to five, criticizing Delicious Life for deleting comments. "@EasternDaily, @NewsFlash, the unscrupulous blogger Delicious Life is framing others and deleting comments, covering up the sky with one hand!" "@DailyNews, @ShimenCourt, a toxic influencer has emerged, we call for justice to arrive!" These were from teams six to ten, spreading the news of the incident. "I was still deciding whether to watch from the sidelines, but it looks like theres indeed something wrong with you!" "Foolish Delicious Life, and here I trusted you before, now I see I was wrong!" These were the opportunistic hecklers from teams eleven to fifteen. "Delicious Life, I hope your son is born without an asshole!" "WTF!" These were the straightforward insults from teams sixteen to twenty. In an instant, not just Delicious Lifes Weibo, but the entire internet was boiling! The previously righteous crusader Delicious Life had become a thoroughly detestable person in just a moment. "Holy shit! What the hell is happening?" Delicious Life looked at his timeline full of curses, completely dumbfounded. What did he do? Was it just because he deleted a Weibo post? How come it feels like the whole world knows about it? He hastily posted a Weibo: "Fans, Im not feeling guilty, I just thought that post was an eyesore. You all need to help me clarify this! This is definitely Lu Xiaobus people doing this!" His Weibo post went up, but it was occupied by the Lu Family Army in one second. Those mindlessly supportive comments for Delicious Life were all sunk to the Mariana Trench, not to be seen even if you scrolled through dozens of pages. Occasionally, there were a few comments deliberately picked out by Liang Lan, then released by the Lu Family Army. Delicious Lifes hardcore fan: "Erm... Its not that we dont want to help you clarify, its just that the comment deletion is hard to justify!" "Global Gourmet": "Why dont you tell us in detail why you deleted the comment?" "Winner in Life": "And also..." You have to realize that these were genuine hardcore fans of Delicious Life! With these fans unintentionally driving the rhythm, even more people joined the observing camp, and even began to lean towards Lu Xiaobu. And at that moment. When the walls fall, everyone pushes; good and evil will ultimately be repaid. The restaurant that had been scammed by Delicious Life earlier, especially the one that just sent him money today, revealed Delicious Lifes deeds, becoming the last straw that broke the camels back. Heaven Source Kitchenette: "This Delicious Life is no good person. Relying on his multitude of fans, he scams and deceives daily. Once, I accidentally spilled some water, and he demanded ten thousand right away. When I refused, he cursed me out on Weibo for three days. Do you all remember that? I took a photo when I was giving him money just now, a picture speaks a thousand words!" This Weibo was instantly reshared and topped by countless people, and that picture vividly exposed Delicious Lifes hideous true face! Crispy Duck Neck: "Thats right, Ive been conned too. He choked on a duck neck bone and demanded eight thousand from me as compensation, threatening to shut us down if we didnt pay!" Carp City Living: "And also..." Thus... Delicious Lifes entire persona Completely collapsed! He, should be crying now! Delicious Life watched his computer crash in front of him. Everywhere he looked were voices cursing him. "Delicious Life, fans turn haters, you bastard!" "Making a killing off of us, youre the one whos rich but heartless!" "Pah! Fans turning haters, time to offer incense!" "Offer what incense! People like him dont deserve incense; just step on him twice and move on!" "..." His Weibo followers were plummeting at a visible speed, from seven digits to six, five, four, three... In the end, only a few hundred die-hard fans were left to support him. As he watched the number, Delicious Lifes tears swirled in his eyes. He was ruined, completely ruined, for all of his income depended on Weibo! Now that hed lost his followers, his income source was completely cut off. No more life of luxury, no more food and fun. "No, no, Liu Shao, right, Liu Shao!" In a rush, Delicious Life picked up the phone to call Liu Changlong. This was all arranged by him; he couldnt just leave it be! "The number you have dialed is not in service, please check the number and dial again!" "Damn it, Liu Changlong! You son of a bitch, crossing the river and tearing down the bridge? Ill drag you down with me!" Delicious Life went crazy instantly, bellowing, "Even though Ive lost my fans, Im still trending. Im going to expose you!" Just as he finished speaking, a message popped up on his computer: "Due to spreading rumors and slandering others, you have been permanently banned from speaking." "Click!" Suddenly, the electricity in the room went off. All the lights disappeared, the computer screen turned black, reflecting Delicious Lifes face of despair. He knew he was done for, completely done for! His life had also lost its light; the once commanding Delicious Life, who could summon storms online, was now gone. All that awaited him were court subpoenas, maybe even a life of despair in prison! He clutched his thinning hair tightly, tears of despair flowing from his eyes as he roared, "Liu Changlong, youre so ruthless, so very ruthless! I regret, truly regret messing with Lu Xiaobu!!" Shimen, the Liu Family. "Delicious Life must be thinking of going down with me now," sneered Liu Changlong. "Sorry, the fish may die, but the net... wont break!" He stood up, walked to the glass, and said coldly, "Lu Xiaobu, youve got some skills, be it luck or real strength, I admit it, this time, youve won! But, our affair isnt over!" This online skirmish that swept across the web finally ended with Lu Xiaobu, the prodigal son of Shimens richest family, emerging victorious! Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And yet, the internet was still boiling over, naturally shifting the topic to the hot water cabbage! "Wow, what a stunning reversal! Delicious Lifes account has been permanently banned, which is so satisfying. But doesnt that mean the hot water cabbage is truly a delicacy?" "Yeah, thats what I was thinking too, its just a bit pricey." "Pricey? Weve been cursing Lu Xiaobu all day, and he hasnt fought back. Isnt it right to eat this dish and show some support?" "Look, a lot of big Vs are recommending hot water cabbage now!" "Yes, yes, its said that many people have already bought tickets overnight to go to Shimen!" "..." Just like that, what started as a slanderous flame war became a nationwide hot water cabbage marketing strategy thanks to Lu Xiaobus tactics. The Lu Family was now secretly delighted. Father Lu asked with a smile, "Second son, how much did we spend this time?" Lu Wenhao flapped his sore hand from tossing money around: "A total of 1.72 million. I wont bother reporting the change." Father Lu: "Eldest son, how much did we make?" Lu Hongbin looked around with a sly expression, greedily saying, "Based on the estimates, just the annual profit from the hot water cabbage is about 30 million, which is five to six times the previous estimate of five to six million." "And thats not even counting the value of the 300,000-strong internet army; youve seen the Power of Water for yourself. Not to mention too much, the value of this team that can summon winds and rain online is worth over five million." "Plus, weve made valuable connections with Yumian Chilong, the food blogger, which means a lot to our Lu Family." "Finally..." Lu Hongbins gaze shifted behind to Liang Lan, who was getting ready to go find Lu Xiaobu. "Oh!" The Lu father and sons nodded, understanding. "Priceless!" Lu Hongbin rubbed his hands excitedly. Father Lu got excited too: "So, we the Lu Family, just to avenge Xiaobu, ended up making a profit over twenty times over?!" "Exactly!" Lu Hongbin also said excitedly, "Xiaobu once again wasted money in such a way that it turned into earnings! Just with these, no matter how much Xiaobu squanders, after a year we can try taking a shot at the top spot among Shimens rich!" "This prodigal son..." Lu Wenhao was left speechless: "Too awesome!" Chapter 32 Loathsome [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Loathsome [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]The Lu family was excited as hell, but Lu Xiaobu couldnt care less about it all. "Young Master Bu, didnt you say youd come find me after school? Why did you leave me at home alone?" Liang Lan approached Lu Xiaobu, speaking with a coquettish complaint. Now, Liang Lan was wearing a blue and white vertical striped V-neck blouse with three-quarter sleeves, the pointed collar ties tied into cute rabbit ear shapes. Paired with a navy, asymmetrically slit high-waisted pencil skirt... Her attire impeccably showcased Liang Lans intellectual charm and allure, yet it also carried a hint of playfulness. The beauty that was partly concealed and partly revealed made the men around itch with desire, wishing they could turn into beasts. But the others just thought about it. Unlike Lu Xiaobu, who was ready to actually get handsy, he chuckled, "Let me admire my vase..." "Cough cough cough..." Wu Qianmin coughed manically to interrupt Lu Xiaobus action. "Young Master Bu, really..." Liang Lan also spoke with a coquettish tone, her pretty face flushed with color. Lu Xiaobu, interrupted from touching the vase, rolled his eyes: "Alright, its time to reward based on merits. Im too lazy to appraise contributions, so everyone has merits today, 5000 each!" "Yay!" A cheer erupted from the students: "Young Master Bu, may you reign supreme over Jianghu for generations to come! Long live, long live, forever!" "Wahaha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily: "Now that its none of your business, go back to your homes and find your moms! Your Young Master is off to continue squandering money!" "Farewell to Young Master Bu!" Zhou Jingyuan, watching Lu Xiaobus retreating figure, fell into thoughtthis profligate son is somewhat terrifying, having as subordinates not only the Fierce Tiger War God who even his grandfather coveted but now also Tian Jilan, the business worlds rising star. Luck couldnt possibly explain this, right? And at this moment, a conversation reached her ears. "Sister Lan, have you washed my underwear?" "Yes, washed by hand. Why is there a strange smell on your underwear?" "Hehe, did you actually sniff it?! Does it smell good?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled, looking Liang Lan up and down. "I... I didnt!" Liang Lans pretty face blushedshe just... just... never mind, no point in explaining! "Hmph!" Wu Qianmin gnashed her teeth in anger. "My goodness!" Zhou Jingyuan faints: "With the Fierce Tiger War God as your lackey, and Tian Jilan washing your underwear, Lu Xiaobu... why dont you just ascend to heaven?" ... In the car, Lu Xiaobu lay on the back seat, propping his head against Liang Lans knees while scrolling through Weibo, under Wu Qianmins teeth-gritting glare. Really, if you experienced it, you would know what paradise feels like. But, youre just not allowed to look back. Should I take a look? While thinking, he slowly turned his head. "Young Master!" Liang Lan covered with her hand, chiding with a flushed faceYoung Master is really too cheeky, arranging Wu Qianmin to sit in the front seat, then mid-way claiming he was tired and needed to rest, and just rested his head on her. She wanted to refuse, but the words just couldnt come out. She could only helplessly accept. If she had known, she would have changed her clothes. "Theres no way, Im looking at Weibo," Lu Xiaobu lied through his teeth with all seriousness. Liang Lan held her forehead and smiled bitterly. If you wont admit it, what can I do? "Alright, no more messing around," Lu Xiaobu said, ceasing his antics and kept refreshing Weibo. Meanwhile, his consciousness delved into the system: "Buy attributes, buy attributes." He had squandered over two million altogether this time. That should be enough to buy more than twenty attribute points. After adding all his remaining attribute points to his health attribute, Qianmins health attribute points finally broke through the passing mark of 60, reaching 61 points. That single addition of twenty health attribute points sent a thrilling shiver through Lu Xiaobus body, as if he was electrically charged. What a high he felt! He now had the feeling that he could punch a cow to death! Of course, that was an illusion, a false sense of strength due to his bodys sudden improvement. Besides, even if he really wanted to kill a cow, would Young Master Bu himself need to get his hands dirty? Good spirits come with good news; now Lu Xiaobu seemed to enjoy everything he laid his eyes on. "Eh, I like the name of this celebrity." Lu Xiaobu looked at the name of a star called Lan Cai and nodded: "Call the cyber army, like her Weibo!" "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan responded. And then. In less than a minute. Lan Cais Weibo followers skyrocketed from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands, elevating her from an unknown eighteen-liner to stardom. To put it plainly, if her previous pay was just a few thousand and she had to conform to hidden rules, now she could easily earn over a hundred thousand. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Such is the terror of an organized, disciplined cyber army! But of course... The cost of this operation was210,000. "Whats going on?" Lan Cai, utterly baffled, looked at her Weibo and cozied up to the bald man beside her, speaking in a sugary voice: "Director, did you promote me?" "Ah?" The director was just as confuseda bit player, just play around with her, whos got time to promote her? However, he quickly said... "Yes, right, hard work always pays off." If it means communicating a little longer, why not? "Thank you, Director..." Lan Cai snuggled up to him while talking sweetly, though a shadow flickered across her eyes C Damn it, am I blind? It was obviously that guy named Lu Xiaobu who sent the followers, if it wasnt for the need to take roles, who would fancy you, an ugly and useless old man?! After putting up a front with him, she quickly seized the chance to escape under the pretense of needing the restroom and speedily sent Lu Xiaobu a private message "Young Master Bu, thank you so very much, if theres anything you need... just say the word, mua... love you..." Below the message was a photo. Yes, a photo! This woman would stop at nothing to become famous. "Ugh..." Lu Xiaobu looked at the photo and private message, dumbfounded: "Such a bad figure, hurts my eyes, bad review, come on, bros, give her the thumbs down, put her back in her place..." "Alright, Young Master." Liang Lan was exasperated. Young Master Bu, are you bored or what? Just because of a name, you spent hundreds of thousands to hype someone up, and then because you didnt like her figure, youre spending more to tarnish her name?? Put her back in her place? No, youre practically burying her alive now! Isnt there a limit to wasteful spending? Looking at her Weibo being demoted as swiftly as it rose, Lan Cai was stupefied, close to tearsMy god, what did I do wrong? Wu Qianmin watched Lu Xiaobu in a state of collapse. Eh... Prodigal son Lu Xiaobu, bored to death, spent hundreds of thousands just to toy with a minor celebrity... I just want to say - uh... never mind, Im speechless! Lu Xiaobu was quite pleased, the power of Water Blue Stars very first cyber army was this terrifying, able to turn things around at a flip of a hand. However, he also knew that such cyber forces wouldnt last long on this real-name registered Water Blue Star. So, might as well make the most of it while he can. Chapter 33 Young Master Bu Arrives! Kneel and Welcome [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Young Master Bu Arrives! Kneel and Welcome [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Young Master, theres a car show not too far ahead, shall we go? Or do you want to head straight to a specific dealership?" Zhang Meng finally found a time when Lu Xiaobu wasnt too busy. "Of course to the car show, after all, thats where the models are." Lu Xiaobu chuckled. "Understood, Young Master." Zhang Meng immediately responded. At the car exhibition. Countless scantily clad models were vigorously showcasing their charms, not only for the sake of their jobs but also in hopes of hooking one or two wealthy patrons and thus soaring from a branch to phoenix status. All the major dealers were also sending out various non-stop promotions, hoping to beat out their competitors. "Hey, isnt that Young Master Zhang? Are you here to look at cars?" As the Shimen dealer of Fierce Horse Automobile Company, Li Fucheng, saw Zhang Wenliang enter, he immediately went up to greet him with a smiling face. As he spoke, he waved over his companys models to accompany Zhang Wenliang. These second-generation rich kids are the most generous when buying cars; they must be well accompanied. "Sure, make some recommendations." Zhang Wenliang proudly said, wrapping his arms around two beautiful and scantily clad models. "This is the model you should see; its an excellent car, its our..." Li Fucheng was ecstatic and quickly started the introduction. Other dealers around, witnessing this scene, were gnashing their teeth with ragedammit, the old bastard beat us to it. However, they were not about to be left behind; they hurriedly called over their models to encircle and intercept Zhang Wenliang. "Young Master Zhang, this model of ours is the best, and its cheaper, only 1.8 million..." "Young Master Zhang, look at Xiaoli, isnt she beautiful? And Xiaomei, they are twins!" "Damn it, Mr. Wang, are you selling cars or pimping out here?" Li Fucheng cursed angrily. "..." For a moment, Zhang Wenliang was surrounded by colorful and provocatively dressed beautiful models, a smug smile playing across his lips. The ordinary customers around, seeing this spectacle, showed looks of jealousy! "Damn, thats so infuriating, I was enjoying the view, and then he got to hold them in his arms." "Damn, damn, my models!" "..." Hearing these remarks, Zhang Wenliang sneeredthis was the disparity that status brings! Li Fucheng suddenly said humbly, "Young Master Zhang, where are your bodyguards? Are they in your car? Let us have a look, I heard they are Special Soldiers!" He thought to himself with a sneer: You bunch of shameless fools, you really think I rely only on models? Ive inquired about it, Zhang Wenliang is most satisfied with his bodyguards; his favorite thing is people praising his bodyguards, which highlights his taste. As soon as Zhang Wenliang heard this, his face turned green with anger. Cars? Bodyguards? Dammit, Li Fucheng, youre doing this on purpose, arent you? You got the news that my car was smashed by Lu Xiaobu and my bodyguards were taken away by him, and youre intentionally here to make me sick, right?! Before he could explode, the surrounding dealers also started speaking. "Yeah, right, Ive long heard that Young Master Zhangs bodyguards are unfailingly loyal." "Yes, I heard they can fight ten at a time, Young Master Zhang really knows how to manage his men." "Young Master Zhang, just let us have a look." "..." Even the models held in Zhang Wenliangs arms were cooing, "Young Master Zhang, just let them take a look! Let them know how formidable you are!" Li Fucheng nodded secretlywell done, Xiao Wang, Ill give you a raise when were back! You shameless bunch, following the trend is pointless; I was the first to praise, and the model in Young Master Zhangs arms also works for me, totally crushing you all! sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Fuck! All of you, fuck off!" Zhang Wenliang roared, shoving away the models beside him and yelling spittingly: "Dammit, dammit, youre all doing this on purpose, arent you?" "What the fuck is unfailingly loyal?" "What the fuck is managing men well?" "Youre just mocking me, failed to poach and got counter-poached, and even had my car smashed!" "In the end, I just cant compare to that profligate Lu Xiaobu, can I?" "Uh..." Everyone fell silent, staring blankly at the raging Zhang Wenliang. "This... Young Master Zhang, we had no idea," Li Fucheng said, his face full of embarrassment. The dealers around them were also struck by a severe case of awkwardness. "Yeah, we really didnt know." "When did this happen?" "..." "Uh..." Zhang Wenliang was dumbfounded. Right, if they had known, why would they spill the beans and ruin their own business? Am I fucking out of my mind? To actually blurt it out myself? Now everyone fucking knows! "Zhang Wenliang tried to undercut Lu Xiaobu and failed?" "Tsk tsk tsk, big news, the prodigal Young Master Bu thrashing Zhang Wenliang?" "And his car got smashed too? Poor thing!" "Serves him right for showing off just now, haha!" "..." Hearing the mocking laughter around him. Zhang Wenliangs face turned green! It was all Lu Xiaobus fault! He had been tricked several times in a row, losing money, and losing face! It had gotten to the point where the mere mention of Lu Xiaobu would send him into a frenzy! I really did such a stupid thing! "Um, Young Master Zhang, cough cough cough, how could that prodigal Lu Xiaobu compare to you?" Li Fucheng hastily tried to console him, while signaling to the dealers around them with his eyesit was time to band together. The rest of them were all crafty old foxes. "Yes, yes! It must have been just a slip for Young Master Zhang!" "Exactly, we dont believe it, that prodigal must have used some sort of sneaky trick!" "Young Master Zhang, you see us, if that prodigal dares to come, well take revenge for you!" Li Fucheng said decisively. "..." Listening to the flattery, Zhang Wenliang felt a bit better: "Forget it, show me the cars quickly, I still need to get back!" "Alrighty, right away!" Li Fucheng took a deep breath, relieved to have dodged the bullet. But just then, a loud shout spread throughout the whole auto show! "Young Master Bu is here!" "Holy shit!" Everyones a dumbassCao Cao arrives just as hes mentioned? However, despite the surprise, the instincts of a businessman kicked in! "Welcome Young Master Bu, may Young Master Bu reign for a thousand generations, and unify the Jianghu!" The dealers who had been surrounding Zhang Wenliang a second before now rushed to the entrance of the auto show like lightning, kneeling in welcome! The whole venue buzzed with activity, rolling out the red carpet, straightening clothes, showing off big legs... One second ago, Zhang Wenliang was the star surrounded by the crowd, but in the blink of an eye, only Li Fucheng was left by his side, along with the model he was holding! And Li Fucheng was also quietly moving his feet, anxiously looking at the entranceYoung Master Bu, dont come in yet, wait for me! A gust of wind blew, making Zhang Wenliang seem incredibly desolate! "Ah!" Zhang Wenliang exploded! You fucking said you werent deliberately mocking me just now? Lu Xiaobu hasnt even arrived, just his name was announced, and you all fucking rushed over to kneel in welcome! "Wakaka!" The laughter of Lu Xiaobu drifted in! Zhang Wenliang lost it! Chapter 34 Being Publicly Slapped in the Face? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Being Publicly Slapped in the Face? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu stepped out of the car, stood on the red carpet, and with a satisfied nod looked at the welcoming lines on each side formed by car models: "Not bad, a reward of a thousand for each!" "Thank you, Young Master Bu!" Those scantily-clad car models immediately started cooing their thanks. If it werent for the fact that they saw Lu Xiaobu was flanked by beauties, especially that student-looking beauty on the left with her threatening gaze, they would have pounced on him already! Despite that, it didnt stop their hearts from being seduced by this profligate Young Master. One by one, hands either intentionally or unintentionally, kept pulling their already scant clothing even lower! The surrounding mens eyes were glued, each drooling. "Wow, jackpot, a huge jackpot!" "Look at that one, the first one on the left in the transparent fishnet outfit with golden underwear, my God, its torn, its torn, my nosebleed..." "That ones no good, look at the third on the right, the bunny girl, do you see that? Shes bent over, that little bunny tail, those plump buttocks, I really want to slap them, the feel must be first-rate!" "And that one, the one in the high-slit cheongsam, quick, quick, quick, she lifted her leg, crouch down, saw it, saw it, white, lacy... pfft..." "..." "Hehehe..." Lu Xiaobu let his gaze wander left and right, dazzled by the sight, nearly overwhelmed, just short of getting hands-on. "Grr!" came the teeth-grinding sound from Wu QianminSo what if theyre big, whats so great about that? Liang Lan snickered to herself on the sideThis girl still says shes not into Young Master Bu? But although Lu Xiaobu looked, he didnt actually make a move, and instead walked purposefully into the center of the car show. As Lu Xiaobu entered the center of the car show. The privileged moment came to an abrupt end! A howl of lament from the crowd of lecherous men! "Its over, its all gone!" "Young Master Bu, please, walk by one more time!" "Really, theres no need for you to walk, I can carry you!" "..." As soon as he entered the car show center, a large group of dealers immediately swarmed him, much like how they did with Zhang Wenliang earlier, and even more eagerly! Zhang Wenliang only buys one car, so its a free-for-all amongst them! But this profligate young man is different, as long as they curry favor, buying ten or eight cars is nothing to him! Thats blessing everyone equally! "Come on, Young Master Bu, you must be tired! Have a seat!" Two plump dealers, gasping for air, brought over a sofa and placed it right beneath Lu Xiaobu, who had barely walked twenty meters! "Young Master Bu, what would you like to drink?" Another female dealer pushed over a cart carefully prepared with various fruit juices and a selection of famous international and domestic liquors. "Come on, Lili and Meimei, give Young Master Bu a shoulder rub!" The pair of twin car models from before were called over. Seeing Wu Qianmins angry gaze, the dealer quickly explained: "Just a simple shoulder rub, nothing more!" "Right." Lu Xiaobu enjoyed the soft fingers sliding over his shoulders and the firm touches that came with them, and nodded with satisfaction: "Got any nice cars?" Meanwhile, Li Fucheng was watching all this and wanted to cry! He really wanted to slap himself; why was he so proactive towards Zhang Wenliang just now? Now Zhang Wenliang was watching him closely, and he was excluded from the shared favors! "Li Fucheng?" Zhang Wenliang said in a mocking tone. "Here!" Li Fucheng forced a smile in response. Zhang Wenliang: "Im not as good as Lu Xiaobu, right?" "Of course, definitely yes!" Li Fucheng replied awkwardly. "Do you remember what you said earlier?" Zhang Wenliang asked with narrowed eyes. "What? Did I say anything?" Li Fucheng quickly denied it, breaking into a cold sweat from fright. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Really? But didnt you say you would help me retaliate? Was that a lie?" Zhang Wenliang smiled, his grin frosty and chilling, like a ravenous ghost selecting its prey! "I remember, I remember!" Glistening with sweat, Li Fucheng said, his fear palpable! To offend Lu Xiaobu meant no profits, but to offend Zhang Wenliang probably meant missing a few body parts! "Then go, help me vent." Zhang Wenliang sneered, "Tell him, youre not selling your car to him!" "This..." Li Fucheng was incredibly troubled. "1, 2..." Zhang Wenliang held up three fingers. "Alright, alright, alright!" Terrified, Li Fucheng quickly trotted over to Lu Xiaobu. "Young Master Bu, that... today, I cant sell you my car!" Li Fucheng struggled to say it, but deliberately added the date - it was just for today. "Oh? Who are you?" Lu Xiaobu looked completely puzzled, "Did I say I wanted to buy your car?" "No, no, absolutely not!" Li Fucheng was overjoyedIts good if he doesnt recognize me, no need to make an enemy! "Hes the dealer of Raging Horse Company in Shimen!" However, Zhang Wenliang slowly approached, revealing Li Fuchengs identity, "Which means, you can forget about getting a car from Raging Horse Company!" "I... this..." Li Fucheng felt like cryingCan you two gods fight without dragging us small fries into it? "Oh, so you mean to say, the moment I, a customer, walk in, a dealer has blacklisted me? Are you smacking my face?" Lu Xiaobu tilted his head, looking at Zhang Wenliang with dissatisfaction. "Thats right, I am smacking your face, and whats more, thats not all!" Zhang Wenliang unabashedly admitted, glancing at the other dealers with a cold smirk, "Now its your turn. Who will it be? Me? Or Lu! Xiaobu!" As soon as these words fell, the entire hall quieted down like a cold breeze sweeping through. "Young Master Zhang... this..." Dealers all wore troubled looks. "1, 2..." Zhang Wenliang raised three fingers again. "Uh... this... Young Master Bu, perhaps you could consider other brands?" The Hummer dealer said hesitantly. "Yes, actually, our cars arent that great either... haha..." The Barbarian Leopard dealer forced a laugh. "Our latest models arent worth looking at, not worth looking at..." The Sprinting Drive dealer waved his hands repeatedly, "Little Li, Little Mei, we have customers over there interested in buying a car, go take care of them!" "..." In a matter of moments, the dealers who were previously vying for Lu Xiaobus attention all stood aside, close to tears. Like Li Fucheng, they knew all too well that upsetting Lu Xiaobu would just mean no profits, but Zhang Wenliang was no gentleman! "How about it, Lu Xiaobu? Think your money can do anything? Does it hurt getting slapped in the face? Im pretty delighted right now!" Zhang Wenliang sneered at Lu Xiaobu, reveling in his heart: "You have money, but dont forget that your roots are with the Lu Family, and our Zhang Family is stronger than yours! So, when I speak, it carries more weight! They fear me more!" Zhang Meng clenched his fists and stood behind Lu Xiaobu, glaring at Zhang Wenliang: "Did I not say to never let me hear insults against the Young Master? Today, Ill smash you along with it!" Wu Qianmin also glared at Zhang Wenliang, "You shameless scoundrel, cant beat Xiaobu, so you resort to these sneaky tactics?" "Sneaky tactics? This is called overwhelming with power!" Zhang Wenliang laughed coldly, feeling utterly thrilled. "Motherf**ker!" Lu Xiaobu was incredibly pissed, extremely pissed! When had Lu Xiaobu ever been humiliated like this? Openly slapped in the face? Really think Lu Xiaobu can only hand himself over? "The Zhang Family, huh? Sister Lan, sort him out for me!" Chapter 35: Then Be Even More Ruthless [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Then Be Even More Ruthless [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Alright, Young Master. Im already on it," Qianmin replied. Hearing Xiaobus words, Liang Lan calmly nodded. Each to their own expertise; she had already started handling it. She had spent some time at the Zhang Familys place and was well-acquainted with their information. Now, with the cyber force that Young Master had formed, the Lu Family armythis terrifying cyber power And adding her own capabilities as Tian Jilan, opposing other families might be a challenge, but the Zhang Family? Heh... Hadnt there been someone online smearing the Lu Family, trying to trap them in a trust crisis? Well, now let them see the true methods of these tactics from those lurking in the shadows! "Take on the Zhang Family? Hahahaha! Xiaobu, dont engage in such wishful thinking. Not just you, but the entirety of the Lu Familyall combinedwould still need to weigh your chances! Even with Liang Lan, you wouldnt be able to make a single hair fall from the Zhang Familys head!" Zhang Wenliang laughed uproariously as if he had heard the joke of the century, clutching his belly: "Li Fucheng, what do you think? Ridiculous, isnt it?" The surrounding distributors revealed awkward smiles, helplessly chiming in: "Yes, yes." Thats itnow theyve truly offended the Lu Family! Nevertheless, there was some truth in what Zhang Wenliang said! Indeed, the Lu Family was no match for the Zhang Family. However... "Ding-dong!" Suddenly, a multitude of notification sounds echoed throughout the exhibition. The distributors didnt dare to look at their phones, but many others in the audience took theirs out. "Holy shit!" An outcry emerged from the crowd. "How is this possible?" "No way, is this for real? Thats terrifying!" "Yeah, if this is true, I wouldnt dare go to the Zhang Familys bar anymore." "Whether its true or not, its better to just avoid it!" "..." "What are you all talking about?" Zhang Wenliang was stunnedhow had it come around to his familys bar? "Young Master Zhang, check the news now! Theres trouble at the Zhang Familys place!" Li Fucheng hurriedly advised him while holding his phone. "What!?" Zhang Wenliang quickly accessed the news. He didnt even have to searchthe top story was about the Zhang Family! "The Den of Evil: Are the Zhang Familys Bars Just Drinking Establishments, or Havens for Sin?" Zhang Wenliang clicked on the news article; after a quick skim, everything went dark before his eyes... "Ptui!" He spat out a mouthful of blood! This article, several thousand words long, depicted the Zhang Familys bar as a breeding ground for evils! Fistfights, the underworld reign, ladies everywhere, consumer fraud, fake liquor, and so onall clearly laid out! These things were commonplace in bars, an industry inherently gray in nature! But the article wrote them in excruciating detail, magnifying these issues countless times, even specifying a few individuals. The way these people were written about was just brilliant! Never mind others, if it werent his own familys bar, even Zhang Wenliang himself would want to shed tears and curse out the unscrupulous establishment! "Damn it, who did this?! Ill kill his whole family!" Seeing the hundreds of thousands of shares, likes, and comments cursing them, Zhang Wenliang bellowed in fury, smashing his phone! With things as they were, there was no need for crisis management; its already a disaster set in stone! "Right, post this too." Liang Lan nodded: "The Zhang Familys son, publicly threatening the whistleblowers safety in broad daylight, vows to slaughter the entire family!" And then, in less than a minute... "Zhang Family Scion Threatens Whistleblowers Safety in Public, Boasts of Killing an Entire Family!" "Could the Zhang Family Really Be the Mafia?" "Calls for the Authorities to Investigate the Zhang Family" "Pfft!" Zhang Wenliang spurted out another mouthful of blood and fell back face up! He realized, finally understanding what a terrible decision he had made last night! Handing over Tian Jilan to Lu Xiaobu, only for Tian Jilan now to turn their guns on them, bringing the Zhang Family to the brink of disaster! "Young Master, based on current estimates, the Zhang Familys business will shrink by more than one third. Are you satisfied? Have you vented your anger?" Liang Lan asked with a beaming smile. "Do I seem cruel?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Not at all," Liang Lan said, chuckling. "Then lets be more cruel!" Lu Xiaobu sneered, "Who let Young Master Zhangs family be so formidable? Young Master Zhang himself told me money isnt everything, and that we couldnt even touch a single hair on their head!" "Right, I think so too. The Zhang Family is indeed grand and influential!" Liang Lan immediately nodded in agreement. Hearing the conversation between these two, despite the warm weather, a chill quietly descended inside the exhibition center. While the general public didnt feel too much, the dealers were shivering! Terrifying! That was the only thought in Li Fuchengs mind! Far too terrifying, who said this prodigal son was foolish? In a reversal, the Zhang Family lost one third of their assets and even more losses are to come?! If they were to target them... All the dealers shivered, exchanging glances as they began to shuffle their feet, approaching Lu Xiaobu with sycophantic smiles. "Young Master Xiaobu, I must have been out of my mind just now. Please dont take it to heart. Whatever car you want, just say it, Ill give you a 50% discount, half price!" The Hummer dealer said fawningly whats half price, its basically him preparing to pay out of pocket! "Not only will we give you a 50% discount, but well also throw in a full set of decorations!" The Bao Bao dealer rubbed his hands and said with a sycophantic smile isnt it just losing money, who cant do that? "About the license plate, I have some connections and can help you get it for free! Of course, Im not saying Young Master Xiaobu cant afford it, but to save you the hassle!" The Ben She dealer bowed and scraped better transfer the license plate I bid for to Young Master Xiaobu! "Xiao Li, Xiao Mei, what are you spacing out for? Dont you see the Young Master is a bit tired? Hurry up, and call Little Wang over here to give the Young Master a leg massage!" Li Fucheng was the cruelest, almost getting down on his knees, half-squatting in front of Lu Xiaobu with a rag, "Young Master, look at your shoes, theyre dusty. Let me wipe them for you!" "..." People at the exhibition center gazed as the usually high-and-mighty dealers were now obsequiously serving Lu Xiaobu, sending envious stares. Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Thats too awesome!" "Just with those few words, Zhang Wenliang is that angry? And those dealers are all groveling?" "Hes a prodigal son? More like a god!" "..." "Werent you all just breaking it down very clearly? What happened now?" Wu Qianmin heckled from the side, "Werent you the same people who just now helped Zhang Wenliang slap Xiaobus face?" Besides feeling exhilarated from letting off steam, she was also incredulous. The Zhang Family, that was the Zhang Family, even bigger than the Lu Family. And just like that, they were easily suppressed? Before, she didnt have too much of a feeling about it. Did that mean, that the so-called online trolls specialized in insulting, that Lu Xiaobu employed, were actually that powerful? It was like controlling the wind and calling the rain! Wasnt Lu Xiaobu just using them to mess with that little star named Lan Cai before? Furthermore, why was Lu Xiaobu so domineering today? However, Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered dealing with that bunch of fair-weather flunkeys, instead, he sneered while looking at Zhang Wenliang on the ground: "Young Master Zhang, how does my slap compare? As good as the one you gave me? Do you want to teach me again?" Chapter 36: I Should Cooperate with Your Performance [Please Save, Please Recommend] Chapter 36: Chapter 36: I Should Cooperate with Your Performance [Please Save, Please Recommend]"Enough!" Zhang Wenliang leaped up from the ground, his eyes red with anger as he glared at Liang Lan: "Liang Lan! Do you really have no regard for past affection? So venomous? You really want to push me to the brink of death?" "Past affection? Your Zhang Family schemed against my family, deliberately showing kindness to my parents, then holding that kindness over our heads to make threats. You really think I dont know?" Liang Lan sneered: "Of course, I wont deny that your family did show kindness to mine, which I repaid when I saved your bar. I believe Ive told you that before." "You!" Zhang Wenliang was momentarily at a loss for words. While he wasnt aware of the specifics, that definitely sounded like something his dad would do. "Oh? Theres this drama too?" Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Then lets go all out! Help Sister Lan vent her anger!" "Thank you, Young Master Xie Xiaobu." Liang Lan expressed her gratitude: "I estimate that in another minute, the police will take notice of this matter!" Now Zhang Wenliangs face was ashen, his body shakinghalf with anger, half with frightif the police took notice and pulled up at the entrance, then there would be no need for explanations, their bar could just wait to die! He opened his mouth, trying to beg for mercy, but there was no use talking to Liang Lan, leaving only Lu Xiaobu! But... Could he even dare to speak to Lu Xiaobu? And at that moment... "You wretch! Damn it, youre the real disgrace to the family!" A roar filled with indescribable anger emanated from the auto show center. Everyone looked back to see a stout middle-aged man who had leapt up high right at the entrance and delivered a flying kick! "Thud!" A heavy foot landed ruthlessly on Zhang Wenliang! Zhang Wenliang was sent flying by the blow! That power, that aura... Lu Xiaobu shuddered violently: "Holy smokes! Who is this guy? He seems to hate Zhang Wenliang more than I do. Could it be a vendetta about a patricide?" "Umm... thats probably not the case, because this is none other than Zhang Wenliangs fatherZhang Benhu! Hes a figure who wont bow even to the citys top tycoons, shrewd yet elusive, playing both sides of the law!" Liang Lan explained with a wry smile. "Damn, this is beyond the level of father hitting son!" Lu Xiaobus lips twitched as he watched Zhang Benhu rushing up again and throwing punches and kicks at Zhang Wenliang, remarking in surprise: "Im starting to feel bad for Zhang Wenliang." "Indeed, Zhang Benhus violent parenting methods are infamous." Liang Lan shrugged. "Ive witnessed it more than once." "Jeez... poor thing!" Lu Xiaobu shook his head. It seemed as if Lu Xiaobus words were overheard, the beating intensified, and Zhang Wenliangs screams echoed continuously through the auto show center, frightening everyone. "Thats too harsh! Isnt it!" "Even Lu Xiaobu, the enemy, wouldnt be this cruel." "Seeing this, I feel like Zhang Wenliang has got what he deserved and can be forgiven, right?" "I agree..." Hearing these whispers, Zhang Benhu roared louder, hitting even harder: "Ill beat you to death, you little bastard!" "Ah! Dad, Im wrong, Im wrong! Help, save me!" Zhang Wenliangs wails grew even more desperate. "Young Master, this guy is putting on a fake fight." And Zhang Meng bent down, whispering quietly: "Apart from the first kick which was genuine, and even then it was aimed at meatier parts to avoid real harm, all the subsequent attacks are all bark and no bite, all for show." "Oh?" Hearing this, the corners of Lu Xiaobus mouth curled up with a sly grin. "It looks like Zhang Benhu wants to win the Young Masters sympathy. Even if the Young Master doesnt sympathize, with everyone watching, it wouldnt look good for the Young Master to go overboard!" Liang Lan also caught onright, even with violent parenting, you wouldnt beat someone to death like this! Feigned attack, a classic tactic often used by that old fox, Zhang Benhu! "Hes taking advantage of my honest nature," Lu Xiaobu said with a chuckle: "Too bad for him, if it werent for you guys here, his plan might have actually succeeded." Zhang Meng and Liang Lan both silently laughedthinking of bullying the Young Master? As if they were just-for-shows? "Come on, Ill teach you a song, lets sing it together." Lu Xiaobus eyes gleamed with mischief. S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What song?" Liang Lan asked, puzzled. "Follow my lead. The one who should play along in your show just turns a blind eye..." Lu Xiaobu began to sing softly. "Heehee..." Hearing these lyrics, Wu Qianmin and Liang Lan couldnt help but laugh maliciouslyhow fitting! Because of just one line of lyrics, several people quickly learned it. "Ahem!" Lu Xiaobu coughed and stood up, leading the group over. "Dont try to stop me, Xiaobu, he dares to insult you, I will beat him to death today!" Zhang Benhu roared, continuing his performance. "Ah! I was wrong! Xiaobu, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Zhang Wenliang even put more effort into it! Listening to Zhang Wenliangs words, the others all showed sympathetic expressions. "Poor kid." "The previously arrogant Zhang Wenliang has actually become like this, Lu Xiaobu, this prodigal son is too terrifying." "However, Young Master Bu probably wont pursue it any further; he cant bear it!" "..." "I was wrong, I was wrong, Young Master Lu, I apologize! Im a scumbag!" Zhang Wenliang shouted even louder, his voice becoming hoarse. That kick from his father just now made him understand! Yes, he was the real prodigal son! Whats personal humiliation? As long as the Zhang Family is still standing, he is still Young Master Zhang, no one dares to gossip! "1, 2, 3, go!" Lu Xiaobu took the lead. "The one who should be cooperating with your acting, ignores you completely..." The four peoples laughter-filled singing immediately spread out. "A duet." Lu Xiaobu said happily. "The one who should be cooperating with your acting, ignores you completely..." "(Pause) The one who should be cooperating with your acting, ignores you completely..." Lu Xiaobu: "A trio." "The one who should be cooperating with your acting, ignores you completely..." "(Pause) The one who should be cooperating with your acting, ignores you completely..." "(Pause) (Pause) The one who should be cooperating with your acting, ignores you completely..." Zhang Benhus face turned green, and Zhang Wenliangs face turned even greener! What the hell is this? If you have seen it, just see it, but dont turn it into a song. Lu Xiaobu: "Ladies and gentlemen in the audience, lets all do it together!" "No! Stop, dont sing anymore!" Zhang Benhu hurriedly intercepted. If Lu Xiaobu continued singing this plan to win sympathy, it would probably backfire completely! But Lu Xiaobu ignored him: "Ladies and gentlemen in the audience, lets all do it together!" "The one who should be cooperating with your acting, ignores you completely..." Suddenly, a wave of mocking and chuckling singing erupted from the crowd. They finally understood, it turns out that the father and son of the Zhang Family were both putting on an act! "Xiaobu... by seniority, you should also call me uncle..." Zhang Benhu said in a low voice with a green face. "Huh? Continue, lets get hyped!" Lu Xiaobu tugged at the corners of his mouthstill trying to take advantage of him at this point? Zhang Benhus face became even uglier, damn, who said this prodigal son is stupid? He cant be coaxed or coerced at all! "Xiaobu... Young! Master!" Zhang Benhu spoke through gritted teeth. "What? I didnt hear you." Lu Xiaobu shrugged. "I said, Xia! Bu! Young! Master! My Zhang Family gives in! Please be generous!" Zhang Benhu yelled loudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire auto show center! Everyone was shockedLu Xiaobu, this prodigal son, actually forced Zhang Benhu to apologize in public without caring about face? This was something that even the wealthiest man in the city had not been able to do back in the day! Chapter 37 Come, Call Uncle [Please favorite, Please recommend] Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Come, Call Uncle [Please favorite, Please recommend]Throughout the whole process, confused as can be, Zhang Benhu said in a low voice, "How about it? Young Master Bu, satisfied? If so, may we step aside to talk?" His voice, though he was trying hard to suppress it, could not help but reveal his anger and humiliation! Who is Zhang Benhu? Back when he was but a weak sapling, he could stand firm against the wealthiest person in the city. Yet now, this great tree of him, stronger by countless times than before, had to bow his head in front of this wasteful man amidst the crowd! Humiliation, such humiliation! But! He had no choice but to do so! In the past, the Liu Family was merely wielding a sharp knife to prune the branches of his great tree. But this wasteful man was pouring sulfuric acid on his roots! The pain was unbearable! Each second night, his great tree came one second closer to withering away! "Alright then," Lu Xiaobu said with a shrug. Under Li Fuchengs guidance, they arrived at the conference room. "Ill cut to the chase." As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Benhu couldnt wait to say, "This time, the Zhang Family admits defeat. Name your price. How can you be magnanimous?" Lu Xiaobu: "Sister Lan..." "No need for others, I, will only talk with you," Zhang Benhu said solemnly, his tiger-like eyes staring into Lu Xiaobus, "In my life, Ive acknowledged only a few people, but you count as one! Today is to make a friend. No matter how outrageous your demands are, Ill accept!" Liang Lan was shockedZhang Benhu was a figure of great power, and now he actually acknowledged Young Master Bu? He was willing to treat Young Master Bu as an equal? "Dad!" Zhang Wenliang was stunned. How could this be? His dad was actually going to treat Lu Xiaobu, this wasteful man, as an equal? What merit or ability did this wasteful man have? "Shut up!" Zhang Benhu slapped Zhang Wenliang across the face, "You have no right to speak here!" This was a real slap! "Oh?" Lu Xiaobu laughed, "So we are peers now?" "Yes," Zhang Benhu said earnestly. "Then should Zhang Wenliang call me uncle?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled. "Correct, Wenliang, call him," Zhang Benhu said coldly. "Dad..." "Call! Him!" "Uncle... uncle... uncle!" Zhang Wenliangs face was filled with humiliation as he called out reluctantly! He, the illustrious Young Master Zhang, had to call this wasteful man uncle? "Good boy!" Lu Xiaobu chuckled and immediately agreed, "When you go out, just mention your uncles name. Ive got your back." "Thank him!" Zhang Benhu scolded. "Thanks! Uncle! Uncle!" Zhang Wenliang said, shaking with anger. "So how about we discuss the serious matter at hand?" said Zhang Benhu. "Nevermind, since the kid has called me uncle, lets call it even," Lu Xiaobu said happily waving his hand, "Sister Lan, tell our guys to back off." "Okay," Liang Lan nodded and issued the order to the navy. "As for the rest of the recovery of losses, I wont be involved!" Lu Xiaobu said with a shrug, "Im leaving." "Wait, Young Master Bu, since youve been gracious, Im not that ungrateful. How about I give you this Night Drunkenness Bar as a return gift?" Zhang Benhu took out a transfer document and handed it over. The Night Drunkenness Bar, valued at six million! Now given away for free! Zhang Benhus heart was bleeding! But he had no choice but to offer a compensatory smile! Liang Lan was startled, calculating in her heartwell, Young Master Bus wasteful antics have made money again! 4.8 million earned! My heavens! "Alright, then Ill accept it." sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After seeing Liang Lan nod, Lu Xiaobu happily signed his name. A bar, whether as a guest or an owner, is always a great place to waste money! Lu Xiaobu walked to the door, suddenly turned back with a grin and looked at Zhang Wenliang: "Come on, big nephew, shout it one more time!" "Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! Are you satisfied now?!!" Zhang Wenliang shouted with bloodshot eyes! "Awesome!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily and left with a swagger! Previously arrogant Zhang Wenliang became his nephew, and he felt extremely satisfied about it! ... "Dad! Why! Why! Why do you sit on an equal footing with him? Why do I have to call him Uncle? Why give him the bar?" Zhang Wenliang yelled with eyes reddened: "It was he who wrecked our bar, snatched Liang Lan, took Li Jin away, smashed my car, and even forced our Zhang Family into a crisis! Facing such an enemy, yet we have to grovel?" "Why? You f*cking tell me why?" Zhang Benhu raised his hand, shouting furiously: "Isnt it all because of you, you little bastard? You think I want to?" "Dad! Even if you have to beat me to death today, I must hear the answer!" Zhang Wenliang said with red eyes and gasping for breath. Today was the most humiliating day of his life, without a doubt! This good-for-nothing kept humiliating him over and over, and now he even became his uncle! "Fine! Then Ill tell you! I wont hit you, but if you think what I say makes sense, punish yourself!" Zhang Benhu glared: "Why sit on an equal level with him? What did I call him in front of an assembly of people previously? Young Master! Which position do you think is better? Junior or an equal?" "Slap!" Zhang Wenliang slapped his own face, and the fresh red mark of five fingers appeared immediately! He accepted this punishment! "Why do you have to call him Uncle? The root of all the conflicts our Zhang Family is facing now lies with you! You wont yield? You wont bend? Do you want the Zhang Family to go down with you?!" Zhang Benhu grew even more furious, and punched the wall next to him: "Only by your bowing down, can we make Lu Xiaobu happy and get him to let us off! Disgrace to our family door, such a disgrace!" "Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!" Zhang Wenliang alternated left and right, turning his cheeks red and swollen, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth! It was all his fault, and he deserved punishment! Seeing his own son like this, a flicker of heartache passed through Zhang Benhus eyes, but he still steeled his heart: "And why give him the Night Drunken Love? This time our Zhang Family is in a crisis of trust, and the forefront of it is the bar business, with Night Drunken Love suffering the heaviest losses!" "Rather than keeping it, its better to hand it over to Lu Xiaobu!" "And whether he likes it or not, once he takes over Night Drunken Love, hell have to shoulder part of the responsibility for this trust crisis, and find a solution!" "Use the terrifying power that nearly destroyed our Zhang Family!" "This will allow the Zhang Family to recover quickly and not be so severely weakened that we cant rally back!" After saying that, Zhang Benhu strode away from there. "Slap! Slap! Slap!" All that was left were the echoing sounds of crisp slaps! The sounds of despair and regret! The great Zhang Family was actually brought low by a wastrel! ... "Sister Lan, go buy some cars for me. One with the fastest speed, one with the best look, and one the most comfortable, the biggest one. Then, Sister Lan, let Zhang Meng, Li Xide, Qianmin, each of them pick one." Lu Xiaobu said while drinking juice, arranging the purchasesit seemed not just familiarity is needed, but a round of lottery is in order, as he was getting tired of drinking juice every day. "Alright, Young Master." Liang Lan went to handle it. Lu Xiaobu glanced at the displayed wasteful amount on the system, about one hundred and twenty million, which was just spent on dealing with the Zhang Family and that Lan Cai! He thought it over, buying cars counts as wasting money, no need to worry about attribute points, might as well try his luck first! "System, time for a lottery draw, you better cheat for me, I want the cola formula, if you dont give it to me Ill harass you every day! Curse you every day! Everyday..." Lu Xiaobu uttered the guaranteed lottery spellwho made the system such a lazy thing? "Fuck this shit, take it and get lost!" the system cursed, and threw the cola formula at Lu Xiaobu. "Hehehe!" Lu Xiaobu looked at the cola formula and let out an unscrupulous laugh! Chapter 38 You’ve Gone Bad, Really! [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Youve Gone Bad, Really! [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu glanced at the cola recipe in his hand, somewhat dumbfounded: "Is it really this simple?" However, he quickly figured it out. This thing is actually similar to going to school. During elementary school, you always feel the formulas and laws are strange and magical, but when the detailed description of those things is placed before your eyes, you would thinkholy shit, so thats how it is! "Young Master, the car has been bought," Liang Lan came back and said at this moment. "Oh! Ah?" Lu Xiaobu first responded, then his mouth twitched: "Sister Lan, are you sure you bought the car?" "Of course, exactly as Young Master requested," Liang Lan said. "Um... how much did you spend?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Five million." "How much is the car worth?" "Around ten million." "So?" "Oh, those dealers didnt dare to take money, in the end, it was paid at half of the cost price. Saved a large sum indeed." Liang Lan said somewhat excitedlyits not like buying snacks from a small shop, where a slight discount involves tens of thousands, or even millions of dollars. These guys are really scared of Young Master Bu, theyre essentially paying for peace of mind. Young Master Bu is so formidable! "Okay, that explains it." Lu Xiaobu said helplessly. Squander amount: Negative five million! Just buying a car and actually earning five million, seriously! Although saving money also makes me a bit happy, it doesnt feel thrilling like squandering. "Whats wrong, Young Master?" Liang Lan was startled: "Did I do something wrong?" "Its nothing, it has nothing to do with you." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "Lets go, lets check out the new bar we acquired!" If you cant squander on the car, then youll have to make it up at the bar! "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng said: "But, should we drive the car back first? With so many cars, we cant possibly drive them." "Thats true, huh..." Lu Xiaobu frowned. "Young Master, Im back." At that moment, Li Jin came running over and said to Lu Xiaobu: "Mission Perfectly accomplished, the scrap metal has been sold." "Oh, thats perfect. Li Jin, you figure out a way to get the cars back, well go check out the bar." Lu Xiaobu lit up immediately. "I... As you command!" Li Jin wanted to cry. Young Master, you cant do this to me, involving me in big deals but only to manage cars? After smashing cars then selling cars, and now after selling, driving them. By the time I get these cars back, youll probably be ready to go home and sleep! I want to follow by your side too! The corner of Zhang Mengs mouth twitched slightly, and his face showed a smile as he came over and patted Li Jins shoulder, saying seriously: "Do well, youll have a bright future." "Instructor, I must say this. I discovered something just now." Li Jin said with a bitter smile: "Youve gone bad, youve really gone bad!" "Hmm, people are always changing," Zhang Meng shook his head... And then... "Young Master, do you want to buy anything else? Li Jin said these cars, for him, its a matter of minutes." "Oh, then buy a bus, and retrofit the inside, put in beds, a refrigerator, and such, make it more comfortable." Lu Xiaobu said casually. "You heard him." Zhang Meng shrugged his shoulders, holding back laughter as he turned to leave! "I... you... Instructor, you, jerk!" Li Jin wanted to crynot like this! Now, even when the Young Master is asleep, I wont be able to return. He really wanted to sing a song right now. Little white cabbage, turning yellow in the field, two or three years old, without a mother... ... Lu Xiaobu let Zhang Meng drive the fastest car, but they were leisurely and unhurried on their way to the bar called "Night Intoxication." Caught in the evening rush hour and stuck in traffic, the group wasnt in a hurry, except for Zhang Meng who was driving. The other three started playing the card game "Fight the Landlord." "Heehee, Young Master, youve lost again." Liang Lan covered her mouth and chuckled while looking at Lu Xiaobu, whose face was covered in sticky notes. "Again." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and continued the battle. "Thats right, another round." Wu Qianmin, similarly plastered in sticky notes, was also indignant. Sister Lans calculating ability was too strong; the two of them combined were no match for her. Screech At this moment, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly erupted, and everyone quickly turned their heads. Zhang Meng was the first to get out of the car. He immediately discovered a deep scratch on the door of his brand-new car! "Im sorry, Im so sorry." A middle-aged man with graying hair and covered in sweatXu Binsaid with a face full of shock and urgency. The surrounding drivers, all stuck here with nothing to do, began to gather around to watch the excitement. "Its over, this is the Raging Horse X9, isnt it? I saw this car at the car show, its worth like 2.8 million, right?" "By my estimate, that scratch is going to cost at least twenty thousand." "Twenty thousand? No, more like fifty thousand." "Pitiful, were all stuck in traffic, the guy wasnt even moving. Tell me, why is someone riding a tricycle in such a hurry?" "..." Hearing the drivers comments around him, Xu Bin became even more terrified: "Sorry, so sorry, Im very sorry!" He kept apologizing while mounting his tricycle, looking like he was about to flee. "Stop right there." Zhang Meng frowned, reached out, and pulled Xu Bin back: "Is what youre doing right?" He was poor himself, he knew that for the average person this kind of expense was unacceptable. But while one may be poor, their spirit should not be; he couldnt accept this behavior of making a mistake and then trying to run away. "Let go, let go of me, I dont have money, I cant stay here!" Xu Bin suddenly began to struggle desperately, shouting with fear and urgency. Zhang Meng got angry: "Whats wrong with you..." "Zhang Meng." Lu Xiaobu rolled down the car window, his face covered in sticky notes, almost unrecognizable. He leaned out and spoke to Xu Bin: "I understand you dont have money. We can let the traffic police handle this, and if its deemed my full responsibility, thats fine. Im not short on money. But what do you mean you cant stay? Is there an emergency?" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the surrounding drivers all showed friendly smiles. Some even gave a thumbs up directly to Lu Xiaobu! "This guy is alright." "If they compensate, its their duty; if they dont, its their kindness." "Yeah, driving a luxury car and still being so kind-hearted, even if taping that strip, looks pretty funny." "..." "I... my... my son is dying! I beg you, please let me go. I need to get treatment for my son. If my son survives, Ill repay you however I can!" Tears suddenly streamed down Xu Bins face, and he knelt on the ground with a thump! "What? Zhang Meng!" Lu Xiaobus expression stiffened. Zhang Meng reacted as well, quickly opening the tricycles cargo compartment. Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Young Master, its badthe kid really is in critical condition! We must get to a hospital immediately!" Zhang Meng exclaimed in shock as he carried out a child whose complexion was turning purple. "My son! Son! Why is it getting worse?! No, I have to leave right now!" Seeing the color of his sons face, Xu Bin cried out in fear. "Zhang Meng, bring the child up, drive, to the hospital!" Lu Xiaobu didnt waste time with words, issuing the order immediately. "Yes!" Zhang Meng immediately followed the command, but his heart warmed, the Young Master was as kind as ever. At this moment, an even more heartwarming scene unfolded at the site. Chapter 39 Is this really good? [Please favorite, please recommend] Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Is this really good? [Please favorite, please recommend]The drivers around Lu Xiaobu were already paying attention to their situation and had just been moved by Lu Xiaobus kindness. Upon hearing that a child was in critical condition, they didnt harbor any doubts and chose to believe immediately. So, everyone began voluntarily moving their cars. "Come on, brothers, lend a hand, a kid is in bad shape, lets clear a path, let the child go to the hospital." "That luxury car over there, do you see it? Just make way for it!" "Here, brother, hurry up, my old car doesnt matter, even if it gets scratched, dont mind!" "Look, they dont even care about their luxury car, whats our crappy car in comparison!" "..." Cars that werent supposed to turn, turned... Places where parking wasnt allowed, were filled... Even though no incidents were supposed to happen, there were some bumps and collisions... But no one minded, all wearing warm and worried expressions: "Little brother, go quickly, dont worry about here." "Alright, thanks to all the uncles and brothers here, Ill cover todays damages, later everyone head to Night Charm Bar, Ill reimburse in full." Lu Xiaobu declared with a wave of his hand: "Zhang Meng, drive!" "Yes!" Zhang Meng immediately nodded. "Boom! Whoosh" Under Lu Xiaobus command and driven by Zhang Meng, the Special Soldier instructor, the selected fastest car showcased its maximum performance! Like a butterfly, the car wove through the congested traffic, racing towards the hospital on the path people eagerly cleared. "Young Master, the gap between the two cars ahead is a bit tight." Zhang Meng was highly focused. "Prioritize speed, as long as it doesnt harm anyone!" Lu Xiaobu made a decisive call. "Yes!" Zhang Meng immediately responded. Bang! Squeak Bang! Lu Xiaobus car forcefully wedged between the two cars, with a harsh screeching sound of friction... The side mirrors on the cars to the left and right were both knocked off, and Lu Xiaobus car lost both of its mirrors too. When they finally rushed through, and looked back at the three cars, they were a sorry sight, covered in scratches! Although the methods were rough, it was precisely because of this, they finally broke free from the most congested section, and the rest of the journey became much easier. All along the way. Running red lights... Cutting off other vehicles... Taking shortcuts... Disregarding any cost, only seeking to save time... Under the cursing of misunderstood bystanders... Under the warnings of traffic police... A trip that originally takes twenty minutes, was forcefully reduced to under five. Squeak A piercing brake sound echoed at the hospital entrance, startling everyone nearby. "My god, whats with this car?" "Exactly, why does it look like it just came off a knife mountain, all scratched up?" "But look, the places without scratches look so new, and its obviously a luxury car, right?" "Could it be some rich second-generation racing and getting into an accident!" "..." "Quick! Doctor, save him!" Zhang Meng carried the child and rushed into the hospital, with Lu Xiaobu and the other two closely behind. Doctors immediately rushed the child to the emergency room after discovering his condition, no delay! Life is more important than anything! "Phew!" Lu Xiaobu heaved a sigh of relief and slumped into the chair outside the emergency room. "Im exhausted." With this frail body of mine, if I hadnt boosted a lot of health attributes before. Otherwise, this racing, let alone saving someone, would have nearly killed me! "Young Master, look at you, you didnt even tear off the note." Liang Lan, who was previously reluctant to let Lu Xiaobu use her lap as a pillow, gently placed Lu Xiaobu on her thigh and tenderly peeled off the notes from his face, revealing Lu Xiaobus not-so-handsome face. No, who said Young Master isnt handsome? Young Master is the most handsome! At this moment, Wu Qianmin wasnt feeling any jealousy. "Xiaobu, drink some water." Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She tenderly brought Lu Xiaobu a glass of water, her eyes full of concern, and gently asked, "Xiaobu, when did your body get so strong, and you didnt tell me? You had me worried sick just now!" "Its okay, its okay." Lu Xiaobu lay limp on Liang Lans lap. "Did we forget something?" "Forget something?" Wu Qianmin thought for a moment: "I dont think so." "I dont remember either, at that time, I really didnt have the time to think about anything else," Liang Lan also shook her head. And then... "Where is the patients family?" a doctor emerged from the emergency room. "Ah, damn!" The four of them exclaimed in unison. They remembered what they forgot, they left the childs dad on the roadside! At this moment, on the road to the hospital... Xu Bin was running madly. At this moment, his heart was in shambles. You all are good people, truly good people, I know! I am so grateful to you all! As long as the child is fine, I am willing to do anything! But, really, was it okay to just leave me, the childs own father, aside? "Hey, whats going on here?" the doctor jolted in fright. "Doctor, whatever it is, talk to us, were the ones who brought him in. His father might take a while to get here," Liang Lan explained with a wry smile. "Alright, its good that he was brought in on time! The child is now out of danger! Otherwise, not to mention another minute, even thirty seconds could have been disastrous. It was truly a close call!" the doctor said with a lingering fear. "By the way, about the surgery fees..." "Dont worry, if its about money, its not a problem," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "Uh..." the doctor was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Lu Xiaobus attire, and gently smiled, "Well, it seems that this family has really met some good people." "It was you guys speeding and causing an accident on the road, right?" two furious traffic policemen came in. "Do you know how dangerous that was? Huh!" "Heh, sorry about that, we caused you trouble," Lu Xiaobu scratched his head with an awkward smile, "We will take responsibility." "Responsibility, what responsibility?" one traffic policeman rolled his eyes, "Our departments phone lines were blown up, all explaining the incident and pleading on your behalf, the department has already decided to exempt you from liability, but youll have to compensate the other car owners." "But I still have to say, I know you did it to save someone, but you must not be so reckless in the future. If something goes wrong, it wouldnt just affect that child." "We know, we know, thank you. You guys are the real good people," Lu Xiaobu happily expressed his gratitude. Today, whether it was the drivers making way, the doctors providing immediate treatment, or the understanding and leniency from the traffic policemen, all of it made him feel immensely warm inside! "Good people? We dare not accept that." The traffic policemen and the doctor smiled at each other, "We were just doing our duty, but you, you are the real good person!" "Really? Heh," Lu Xiaobu scratched his head and chuckled, "I feel so good, I feel like splurging, lets go splurge!" Liang Lan and Qianmin were used to it. The doctor and the traffic policemen had faces of panic! What the heck? Why is their way of celebrating to splurge? Chapter 40 Auntie, I Respect You as a True Man [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Auntie, I Respect You as a True Man [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Because Zhang Mengs mother was also in this hospital, Lu Xiaobu brought everyone along to visit her. "Mom, this is the Young Master." Zhang Meng introduced as he looked at his mother. "Benefactor." Upon hearing this, Zhangs mother struggled to get up. "Auntie, please stay lying down, lie down." Lu Xiaobu hurriedly stopped her: "Because of me, Zhang Meng couldnt stay by your side to take care of you, you wont blame me, right?" "No, no, I cant, you are the benefactor who saved a life!" Zhangs mother hurriedly said, "My son is too honest and inept. If he does anything wrong, feel free to beat or scold him as needed. If he dares to retaliate, I will disown him." "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu was stunned. "Young Master, dont mind her, my mom just talks like that," Zhang Meng laughed. "Just last night, when I just got back, she was already chasing me out." "Uh, Auntie, I salute you like a true man!" Lu Xiaobu gave a big thumbs up. "Uh..." Now it was Zhangs mothers turn to be confusedwhat was that about? After a moment... "Pfft, hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter; Young Master Bu truly knew how to be amusing. "Zhang Meng, hire a caregiver for Auntie and move her to a private room. Since you cant be by her side, someone needs to take care of her." After finishing laughing, Lu Xiaobu arranged. "Benefactor, I..." Upon hearing this, Zhangs mother hurriedly wanted to say something. "Mom, these are Young Masters orders! If you dont listen, Ill just..." Zhang Meng gestured helplessly. "Well... okay." Zhangs mother had no choice but to agree. Zhang Meng immediately grinned, showing all his big teethhe had money now, so how could he not honor his mother? But with her stubborn temperament, she would never agree before; well, now that the Young Master has spoken, what can you do! After arranging everything for Zhangs mother, the group headed towards the bar, as for that car. Zhang Meng called Li Jin to ask him to sell it again. Over the phone, Zhang Meng could almost see Li Jins utterly aggrieved expression, like that of a deeply wronged woman. This made him chuckle mischievously. He seemed to have really picked up some bad habits. ... Meanwhile, online there appeared some reports, all about this luxury car rescue incident. "Wealth Doesnt Make One Forget Their Roots, A Model of Wealth" "Human Life is Above All, Wealth Does Not Mislead the Heart" "Paper Note Hero? A Fun-loving Good Samaritan" ... This time there was no need for paid internet trolls, yet the news was spreading rapidly. "Well done." "No need for many words, just leave a Like!" "This is what the Great Heavenly Dynasty is all about, who says there are no good people in our Great Heavenly Dynasty?" "..." After the traffic polices official Weibo posted a statement, it even further boosted the sentiment. "The rescue incident is confirmed to be true, the child has been treated and is now out of danger, please rest assured. However, the act of rescuing was reckless, hence we neither penalize nor commend it, here is the surveillance video!" After netizens watched the surveillance video, they further praised. "This wasnt just one good person, but all were good folks! Those drivers were also good people." "I think everyone has experienced traffic jams. Under those circumstances, to forcefully make way is not easy." "Yes, this world is indeed a warm place!" "..." Certainly, there were also some different opinions. Weibo celebrity Li Qinglei "First of all, I want to make it clear, this is a good deed, undoubtedly praiseworthy. Regardless of what motives were behind it, saving a life is definitely a commendable act." S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "And I dont know if everyone has noticed, although this person does good deeds anonymously and even keeps his face hidden, he has been shouting a name, a place nameNight Drunk Love Bar." "And what happened at this bar? Everyone can find out by searching online #Night Drunk Love Bar#, it was recently named as a gang hideout." "So here comes the question, is this act of saving someone just a show?" "A life-saving act without real kindness, while still commendable, is it worth promoting?" With the release of Zhang Qingleis Weibo, because it mentioned two hot topics, it instantly caught the publics eye. Now, the direction of online opinion started to shift, becoming somewhat indecisive. "It seems to make some sense." "If it really was a rescuing act just for show, it feels quite uncomfortable!" "Exactly, cant someone just save people purely?" "..." In Shimen Zhang Family, Zhang Benhu and Zhang Wenliang were watching the news. "Did you see that? Now you understand the terrifying impact Lu Xiaobu has caused us," Zhang Benhu said to Zhang Wenliang with a tone of disappointed expectation: "Even a life-saving act cant redeem Night Drunk Loves reputation, nor can it save our Zhang Familys reputation." "Yes, father, I was wrong," Zhang Wenliang said, ashamedly lowering his head. "According to my analysis, the savior must be Lu Xiaobu. Now, as long as Lu Xiaobu comes out to clarify and uses his influence, this matter will be settled, and even our Zhang Family can breathe a sigh of relief, you know peoples perspective is always blurry," said Zhang Benhu. "But does Lu Xiaobu have that kind of influence?" Zhang Wenliang still had his doubts: "You know, these things are without proof. If Li Qinglei insists that this act was just for show, then Lu Xiaobu cant do anything either." "Ah, you, youre still too naive. Although its somewhat embarrassing to praise others while pulling us down, let me show you the power of the three words Lu Xiaobu on the internet," Zhang Benhu sighed and opened Weibo. Zhang Benhu: "I am Zhang Benhu, just before the rescue incident, I had sold the Night Drunk Love Bar to Lu Xiaobu, so this rescuing act is unrelated to my Zhang Family. We will not make a show out of this. The previous mistakes did exist, and we will correct them, please everyone supervise. @Li Qinglei" Once this Weibo was released... It took less than a second... Li Qingleis previous Weibo was no longer to be found, deleted by himself. And he posted a new Weibo: "Long live Young Master Bu, long live saving lives, Young Master Bu is a great good person, I believe, Young Master Bu is absolutely doing pure rescuing, I am just a jerk! Please ignore this!" In a room, Li Qinglei wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, fearfully saying, "Motherf*cker, that scared me to death, it was Young Master Bu! I was indeed courting death, not even bloggers like Delicious Life can withstand Lu Xiaobus attack, I truly walked around the Ghost Gate once again!" He is involved in the internet, knowing more about the Lu Family armys news than others, and he knew the principles of the Lu Family army. 1. Young Master Bu is always right. 2. The Lu Family army is the ultimate justice. The above two are easy to say, but the key is the third rule. If the first and the second conflict, the first rule prevails. That means if Young Master Bu wants to target him, regardless if what he says is the truth or not, he could be in pain like Delicious Life in just a minute. Li Qingleis face-slapping Weibo spread immediately on the internet! "HAHAHAHA, I was saying, its Lu Xiaobu! HAHAHA, long live Young Master Bu, long live the wastrel!" "Long live the wastrel! Keep up the formation!" "Long live the wastrel!" "..." Zhang Wenliang watching this sudden change in online sentiment, was dumbfounded: "How is this possible? Just a name, and it easily changed peoples opinions?" "Now you see," Zhang Benhu sighed, "And this is just from us talking. If it was Lu Xiaobu speaking personally, it would be a hundred times more terrifying. Right, now go to Night Drunk Love. Lu Xiaobu just took over Night Drunk Love, there will definitely be trouble, make sure you assist him well." "Why should I..." Zhang Wenliang puzzled. Zhang Benhu cut off Zhang Wenliangs words, pointing at his Weibo and said, "Look for yourself." The comments below Zhang Benhus Weibo read: "Not bad, not greedy for credit, the attitude of admitting mistakes is sincere, it seems Zhang Family is still redeemable. Though a bit less than Young Master Bu." "Zhang Family is good, hope you all correct yourselves, learn more from Young Master Bu." "With such an attitude, I believe your bar is still good, I will visit again. Of course, Ill prioritize Young Master Bus bar." "..." Zhang Wenliang was stunned, spiritlessly saying, "Yes, father, I understand." Zhang Benhu: "Remember to call Lu Xiaobu uncle." Zhang Wenliang: "..." Damn, mushrooms! Chapter 41 Huh? Yes, reward 100.

Since it was still early, and the bar wasnt officially open yet, plus Lu Xiaobu had smashed the bar just last night causing a "closed for renovation" sign to be put up, there was no one around. As the group pushed open the door, they found Zhang Wenliang with a swollen face inside, accompanied by a group of people. Zhang Wenliang: "Xiaobu..." Lu Xiaobu: "Hmm?" Zhang Wenliang gritted his teeth: "Uncle! Uncle!" Lu Xiaobu chuckles: "Hmm. Reward one hundred." Zhang Wenliang, looking at the money handed over by Liang Lan, not knowing whether to accept it or not, was shaking with frustration. Lu Xiaobu: "Hmm?" Zhang Wenliang stiffened up and hurriedly took the money: "Thanks, uncle! Uncle!" Lu Xiaobu nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, reward one hundred!" "I... this... you..." Zhang Wenliang, looking at another hundred yuan coming his way, was left flustered in the wind. sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu: "Hmm?" "Thanks, uncle!" Zhang Wenliang, on the verge of breaking down, took the money. Lu Xiaobu: "Hmm, reward..." "Hold on!" Zhang Wenliang immediately interrupted, realizing if this continued, it would never end. He painfully pleaded: "Uncle, Im begging you, can you stop playing? Isnt it enough that Im calling you uncle? Uncle, isnt it enough that youre my real uncle?" "Hehe." Wu Qianmin on the side let out an unscrupulous laugh. This once majestic Zhang Wenliang, Young Master Zhang, was completely unable to hold his head high in front of Lu Xiaobu. "Great-nephew, what brings you here?" Lu Xiaobu asked with a satisfied smile. "Its just that you smashed the bar yesterday, shattered it into pieces, and we havent had the chance to renovate it yet. I brought a renovation team over to help you fix it up. They were the ones who originally did the bar, and most of the damage is superficial, so it can be restored quickly, and we should be able to reopen today!" Zhang Wenliang hurriedly explained the situation. "Oh, right, I totally forgot I smashed the bar." Lu Xiaobu slapped his forehead. "You really are..." Zhang Wenliang instinctively showed a disdainful smile. Lu Xiaobu: "Hmm?" "Awesome!" Zhang Wenliang shivered with fear and quickly changed his tune: "Uncle is the most awesome! May you dominate Jianghu for generations!" Lu Xiaobu laughed mischievously: "Not bad." The surrounding renovation crew were trying to hold back their laughter, their faces turning red. These were the Zhang Familys long-time renovation team, and they knew Young Master Zhangs temperament very wellhe cared deeply about face. Even in the face of his own fathers fists, he would talk back. But now, in front of this prodigal son, he was completely cornered. "Seriously though, what style of renovation do you want? We could try something new." Zhang Wenliang quickly got back on track. "Style?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, looking at the dilapidated but overall wooden-structured bar, his eyes gleaming: "I want an ancient style." "Ancient style?" Zhang Wenliang was baffled. "Havent you seen it? Like those Jianghu knights with knives and swords, who slam the table as they enter: Waiter, half a kilo of beef, a jar of Daughter Red wine." Lu Xiaobu excitedly described: "Then suddenly, several black-clothed swordsmen who were lying in ambush jump out, clanging and slashing all around, and once the fray ends, they step on the bodies of their foes, eat meat heartily, drink heartilywouldnt that be delightful?" "Uh..." Zhang Wenliang was flustered. "This..." The renovation team was confused. "Sigh..." Wu Qianmin and Liang Lan looked up to the sky. Only Zhang Meng stroked his chin, revealing a trace of longing: "Young Master, what a great idea!" "Right, Zhang Meng, you think so too, right?" Lu Xiaobu grew more excited: "In that case, we wont need those dancers anymore, just bring in a couple of storytellers, and halfway through the storytelling, draw swords to slay some foes, then leave coolly, dropping a line of poetry: Kill one within ten steps, leaving no trace across a thousand miles!" "Yep, the payment has to be made with silver, slammed down on the table," Zhang Meng also couldnt contain his excitement. The master and servant pair were completely lost in their martial arts fantasy, bantering back and forth. The others could only watch this scene with resignation. "Alright, lets do it this way," Lu Xiaobu immediately clapped his hands in excitement. "Wait, wait, what do you mean lets do it this way?" Zhang Wenliang broke down: "Uncle, this isnt realistic, we cant pull it off." He had gotten used to calling him uncle by now. "Nonsense, what do you mean we cant pull it off? If you cant do it, just say so, Ill handle it. Let me show you what a spendthrift can do!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand grandly: "First, get all the trash out of the shop." "Youre the professional, go talk some sense into him," Zhang Wenliang said to the renovation team leader. He cared about appearances, love for face, if hes doing it, then it must be done beautifully! Otherwise, if it turns out to be a mess, it would be a huge embarrassment for him. After all, no outsider would say a spendthrift doesnt understand renovation; the blame would fall only on him, the Zhang Family Young Master who owns several dozen bars. "Young Master Bu." The renovation team leader really wanted to say a few words too. Lu Xiaobu: "Do it well, each person gets five thousand." Team Leader: "Alright, Young Master, do we still keep the bar?" "Not you, you!" Zhang Wenliang went crazy, a mutiny already? "Get rid of it, remove everything, any table, chair, anything modern, throw them all out," Lu Xiaobu immediately said. "Yes, Young Master, you just watch," the team leader was extremely excited. Lu Xiaobu: "Sister Lan, go buy some old wooden tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., the older the better, remember to look for the ancient style." "Yes." Liang Lan reluctantly agreedwhatever makes Young Master Bu happy is fine. Lu Xiaobu: "Qianmin, contact some photo studios, drama groups or something, buy up all the ancient costumes, wash them clean and bring them back." "Alright," Wu Qianmin reluctantly respondedshe had given up resisting. Lu Xiaobu: "Zhang Meng, go buy some plastic imitation cold weapons like knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, tridents, hooks, forks, etc., get a lot of them, if they are not available, have the toy manufacturers rush to make them, money is no issue, but remember, they can be of low quality but not high, to avoid actually injuring someone." "Understood," Zhang Meng agreed energetically: "A friend of mine does just that, I guarantee to complete the task." Lu Xiaobu: "Zhang Wenliang, you know alcohol, go handle the alcohol jars and such." "Why should I..." Zhang Wenliang wasnt willing to do it. Lu Xiaobu: "Hmm?" "Understood, uncle, Im on it right away," Zhang Wenliangs response was almost reflexive, he jumped up and immediately agreed. "Hehe," Lu Xiaobu chuckled: "Big nephew, trying to fight me?" "Young Master Bu, all the unwanted items have been thrown out," the renovation team excitedly reported back. "Good, reward, five thousand each," Lu Xiaobu stayed true to his word. "Thank you Young Master Bu, Young Master Bu for thousands of autumns, rule over Jianghu forever!" The renovation team was beyond excitedusually, when they renovate a bar, each person wouldnt even get five thousand. "Like you heard my earlier instructions, the rest Ill leave to you, you are the professionals, create a perfect ancient pub for me, if you do well, I wont be stingy," Lu Xiaobu said again. "Alright, Young Master Bu, just you watch," the team leader rubbed his hands together, they were extremely excited now. "No need to say more, dont care how many people it takes, its eight oclock in the evening now, finish by midnight, five thousand per person, and for every hour earlier, each person gets an additional five thousand," Lu Xiaobu declared generously. "Alright, Young Master!" The renovation team went crazy, they had to earn this money even if it killed them! "Brothers, two hours, any problem?" the team leader roared excitedly. "No!" "Alright, get moving!" the team leader shouted, eyes red. It didnt matter how many people, and the style Young Master asked for was that old-fashioned look, moreover, since they had originally renovated it, its more of a transformation than renovation; now, with the workers in an extremely excited state, working frantically, two hours should be doable!

While the decoration team was bustling with activity, the drivers from earlier on the road had all hurried over. "Everyones here." Seeing them, Lu Xiaobu flashed a grin: "Sister Lan, quick, distribute the compensation to everyone, give each an extra five thousand, consider it a reward. Good deeds must not go unrewarded." "Roger that." Liang Lan had just been directing people to place the second-hand furniture they had gathered, and now she hurried over again to distribute the money to everyone. This time the wasteful amount720,000. She had never imagined, not in her wildest dreams, that she, Tian Jilan, instead of sitting in the office and working hard to make money for the boss, would be desperately squandering the bosss money, and to make matters worse, it was the kind of squandering that the boss would be unhappy with if it didnt happen. But this feeling didnt seem too bad. The drivers who received the money were all somewhat embarrassed. "Young Master Bu, look, we were supposed to be doing good deeds, we shouldnt be taking money for it." "Yeah, and Young Master Bu, youre the one who lost the most, your brand-new car is even totaled." "I was really planning not to take it, but my old lady at home..." "..." "Alright, alright, why are we even talking about this?" Lu Xiaobu crossed his arms and laughed loudly: "I am a profligate! Can you guys compete with me?" "Ah?" The drivers looked at each other and then burst out laughing: "Hahaha, Young Master Bu, you really are something!" "But since the Young Master says so, then we wont stand on ceremony. But Young Master, we heard that this bar is now yours, itd be our pleasure to come support." "Thats right, thats right, please allow us to show our support." "Its fate that we all met, lets all give a toast to Young Master Bu." "..." "No problem at all," Lu Xiaobu chuckled happily: "But right now the bar is still being decorated, it might be a little while yet." "Its nothing, well wait however long we need to." Everyone was laughing heartily. ... 9:56 PM. "Young Master, were done." The foreman, sweating profusely, burst out with enthusiasm: "Done, were done." What a feat, this was the most strenuous they had ever worked, especially towards the end. If they were four minutes later, theyd each be five thousand less richer. "Done? Alright then, let me do the math." Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment: "Twenty-five thousand per person, right?" "Young Master, thats not right," the foreman whispered: "Youve overcalculated." "Overcalculated? If its too much, then its too much! Just leave it!" Lu Xiaobu clapped his hands and said: "Sister Lan, pay up." "Pfft!" The foreman was speechless but mostly thrilled: "Thanks, Young Master Bu. Young Master Bu, may you reign over Jianghu for all eternity!" Liang Lan smacked her forehead and could only start counting out the money, the wasteful amount1.23 million. Including the money the Young Master had tipped in the shop earlier, that night the amount wasted had already reached 2.32 million. The Young Masters rate of squandering was... incredibly fast! But what she didnt know was that Lu Xiaobu was muttering to himself in dissatisfaction: "Had I known, I wouldve given fifty thousand each. That five million deficit from buying cars hasnt been cleared yet." "Lets go, lets go drink." Lu Xiaobu regained his smile and headed towards the bar with excitement, without even knowing what it looked like inside. Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Lets go!" Everyone immediately followed. Behind them, Liang Lan let out a light chuckle and pulled out her walkie-talkie: "Zhang Meng, Young Master is about to enter, hows the preparation?" "Its okay, Im on it personally, dont worry," Zhang Meng replied confidently: "Right, your costume is ready too, hurry up and change." "Okay, Im coming in now," Liang Lan said with a smile. Shutting off the walkie-talkie, Liang Lan looked at Lu Xiaobus back and giggled to herself: "Young Master, today Ill make sure you have a blast." ... Upon entering the bar door, what welcomed them was a shadow wall, and a decoration worker, doubling as a waiter, greeted them: "Young Master Bu, you can change clothes over here." "Alright." Lu Xiaobu nodded, a bit excited. The others looked at each other, confused. "Why do we need to change clothes? Isnt this supposed to be a bar?" "Forget it, why overthink? Following Young Master Bu cant be wrong." "Right." "..." Trusting in Lu Xiaobu, everyone followed him to the changing room. Clothing changed, weapons in hand, a group of modern people had completely transformed into Jianghu knights, wielding swords and brandishing spears. Lu Xiaobu chose a white heroic costume with a blackish-gray cloak. Once the hood was donned, one really couldnt deny the immediate rush of knightly aura. With all this fuss, everyone grew even more excited about the tavern. Full of anticipation, the group passed through a pitch-black corridor and lifted a curtain. Instantly, an ancient tavern, the likes of which one would only see in costume dramas, appeared before everyones eyes. "Holy cow! This is awesome!" "Im sold, this is just too spectacular, Im getting a real feeling of time-travel here." "Look at all these wooden tables and chairs, and that big jar of alcohol. How on earth did they find these?" "..." Everyone was in shock. "Esteemed guests, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?" Zhang Meng, dressed in the standard gray and white attire of an inns waiter, was calling out as he wiped tables with a rag. "A meal, for Young Master Bu here, bring two pounds of soy-sauce beef and a jar of Daughters Red Wine." While others were still in shock, Lu Xiaobu was already having a blast. "Alright, please have a seat here, your order will be ready shortly," Zhang Meng guided Lu Xiaobu to a clean table, wiped it down with his cloth, tossed the rag over his shoulder and hollered, "Two pounds of soy-sauce beef, a jar of Daughters Red!" Lu Xiaobu placed his treasure sword on the table and sat on a wooden stool with one foot propped up on another, exuding the air of a great hero. The crowd was dumbfounded. "Damn, thats so cool!" "I cant stand it, I want to join in!" "Isnt this just explosively cool? "..." Really, in this Heavenly Dynasty, with its long-standing culture of chivalry, who doesnt dream of being a great hero? To brandish ones sword across Jianghu, indulging in passionate vendettas? And today, could it be that their dreams were coming true? But just as they were about to step forward, something even more delightful happened. Passionate vendettas, indeed prized passionate vendettas! "Qingfeng Swordsman, Lu Xiaobu?" A figure in black clothing, clutching a treasure sword, walked straight up to Lu Xiaobu and said flatly. "Do you know me?" Lu Xiaobu looked up slightly, a sharp gaze bursting forth from under the hood. "Indeed its you, prepare to die!" The figure in black shouted and drew his sword. "State your name, for I do not slay the nameless under my sword." Lu Xiaobu sneered. "Three years ago, you killed my elder brother Nangong Hu. Today, Nangong Bao specially comes to seek revenge." The figure in black was bristling with killing intent, raising his sword to thrust. "A nobody not worth drawing my sword against." Lu Xiaobu slammed the table and gestured with his hand. "Uh..." The black-clothed assailant fell to the ground as if on cue, "To think... its the... legendary Divine Fingersnap!" And at this moment... "Sire, your wine has arrived." Zhang Meng, playing the waiter, nonchalantly stepped past the corpse on the ground, a look of indifference on his face. "Fine wine," Lu Xiaobu picked up the jar and drank heartily, bursting into laughter. Then, a second later, he couldnt hold it any longer and burst into laughter. He slapped the table and laughed heartily: "So satisfying! This is so damn fun! Young Master Bu here has wanted to play like this for a long time." He had his fun, and those around him were green with envy!

I will spend whatever it takes to play today!" "This is freaking awesome, Jianghu! Knights!" "..." "Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down." A gentle and charming voice suddenly came through. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw Liang Lan, dressed in green Hanfu, with a gentle demeanor and a small red lotus on her forehead, slowly descending from the second floor. Usually, the sight of her tightly bound slender waist, prominently standing chest, and the inadvertent elegance and charm unique to Han Family women revealed while walking, would certainly make peoples minds waver and pulses race. But at this moment, seeing Liang Lan who seemed as if she had stepped out of a painting, peoples minds were filled more with admiration rather than lustful thoughts. "So beautiful!" The crowd expressed their admiration in a daze: "This is what a true beauty looks like, like a fairy, yet not aloof from worldly matters." "Thank you, everyone." Liang Lan descended and gracefully greeted everyone: "I am the owner of this tavern. If you come to my tavern, you must understand the rules here. If you cannot abide, then I ask for your understanding." Next, Liang Lan carefully explained the rules she had thought of in a way that wouldnt break the character, yet was clear. To put it simply: 1. You cannot really engage in physical fights, especially with weapons. Even though they are fake, they can still cause injury, so real use is prohibited. 2. If you drink too much, you can no longer participate in the fun activities, as it may get to your head. 3. Accepting roles, actingits all impromptu. If you have the ability to add extra parts to your role, go ahead, but you cannot cause disturbances. 4. Whoever loses or wins in the performance is up to the individuals involved, but if neither wants to back down, then its up to the others present to decide. 5. Young Master Bu has the final say. If there is any conflict between the fifth rule and any of the others, the fifth rule will prevail. After hearing the explanation, everyone feigned a faintso in the end, it was still Young Master Bu who had the final say! However, after the explanation, the tavern officially opened. People began to pour in. "Sir, are you stopping for a drink or staying for the night?" "Give me a whiskey, uh... I forgot, do you have it?" Zhang Meng, tossing his towel aside, replied: "Yes, of course, this isnt really ancient times, one whiskey." "Phew... Good, I thought I was causing trouble." The customer sighed in relief. The guests excitedly entered the tavern, ordering drinks and food. And Lu Xiaobu approached Liang Lan, ogling her up and down: "Sister Lan, I didnt expect you to look so stunning in ancient costume." "Of course." Liang Lan smiled charmingly: "Dear guest, flirting with the owner, be careful or you might get beaten up." "Who dares to beat me?" Lu Xiaobu pouted. "Brother, Master said, if you dare to mess around outside, he will break your legs." At this moment, Wu Qianmin, dressed in a bright red female knights outfit and carrying a Treasure Sword, jumped out and spoke threateningly. At this moment, Wu Qianmin, with her bright red outfit complementing her pretty face, her decent-sized breasts, and slender waist held gracefully, and with a Treasure Sword in hand, indeed looked like a young inexperienced apprentice secretly following her senior out of the sect. "Ugh, so ugly, not as beautiful as Sister Lan. No wonder Master insists on betrothing you to me." Lu Xiaobu glanced at her and said maliciously. "What did you say!" Wu Qianmin exploded instantly, grabbing her sword, ready to fight Lu Xiaobu to the death. "Mercy, mercy. Beautiful, beautiful, my Qianmin is the most beautiful woman in the world, naturally gorgeous and incomparably beautiful." Lu Xiaobu hurriedly begged for mercy, others might not dare to touch him, but Wu Qianmin with the Imperial Sword was different. "Really?" Wu Qianmin said through gritted teeth. "Really, really, you see their eyes going straight." Lu Xiaobu pointed at the guests who were sneaking glances at Wu Qianmin. "Hmph!" Wu Qianmins pretty face blushed, and she snorted coquettishly, no longer paying attention to Lu Xiaobu. "Ah..." Liang Lan sighed, this little girl completely ignored what Young Master Bu said about being promised to him, and the term my family. It seems like she has accepted it already. At this moment, all the guests were seated, and the performance was about to begin. The guests also had a premonition, each excitedly staring around, expecting the assassin to appear. But... The first performance was so unexpected. "Hmph, shameless rapist, daring to come to my tavern, you dont deserve to drink my wine, die now." Waiter Zhang Meng snorted coldly, approaching a guest, supposed to serve wine, but suddenly slapped the guest. "Damn! Dont be like this!" The guest was utterly dumbfounded, scared silly on the spot. Upon closer inspection, that guest was Zhang Wenliang who was fishing in troubled waters. Lu Xiaobu: "Huh?" "Ah!" Zhang Wenliang screamed reluctantly, falling to the ground, but he didnt forget to dramatize further: "Thinking of me, Zhang Liuxiang, roaming in Jianghu for so many years, to be schemed by a mere waiter, its unbearable, unbearable!" "Drag him away." Zhang Meng sneered, and immediately a few people came out and dragged Zhang Wenliang away. Then Zhang Meng immediately put on a smiling face: "Everyone, keep eating and drinking, this person is Zhang Liuchou, who harassed girls in previous years. Today he came to our tavern, so lets send him off." "Great!" The crowd excitedly cheered. "Im going, awesome, no wonder they said its spontaneous." "Yeah, I never expected that the first act would be carried out by the waiter!" "Too random, Im completely thrilled now." "Hey, youre not going to kill me, are you?" "..." The guests in the tavern were hugely excited. Only Zhang Wenliang being dragged away was desperateI am called Zhang Liuxiang, not Zhang Liuchou! When he was out of sight of the guests, Zhang Wenliang immediately ran to Lu Xiaobus side, pleading, "Let me play, dont be like this." Lu Xiaobu: "Huh?" "Uncle, no, Martial Uncle." Zhang Wenliang immediately obediently called out, then pleaded sorrowfully, "I just want to play, I want to be a Great Hero too!" Initially, he had purposely picked a spot Lu Xiaobu couldnt see, but he was still found out and even labeled as a rapist. How unjust was that? "You said theres no use in that, didnt you?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, mimicking Zhang Wenliangs earlier words, "That wont work, its unrealistic." "Martial Uncle, I was wrong, isnt admitting my mistake enough?" Zhang Wenliang immediately conceded. Lu Xiaobu: "Alright, you play the villain five times, and then Ill let you play." "No problem, just five times! Besides, Im good at being the bad guy," Zhang Wenliang immediately said excitedly. Liang Lan stifled her laughter on the side. Is this still the arrogant young master of the Zhang Family? In front of Young Master Bu, he is as obedient as if he saw, no, even more than seeing his own father, Zhang Benhu. The atmosphere within the tavern grew even more exuberant, yet at this moment, something happened that made everyone burst into laughter.

Because its being recommended, theres another Chapter after midnight tonight, help out with votes if youre up, just click on it. As Zhang Wenliang takes on his natural role playing the villain, the atmosphere in the tavern surged, and one Great Hero after another actually put on a fierce show. And Lu Xiaobu just keeps creating mischief by twisting the script. Script twist one: A rapist kidnaps a helpless girl. Lu Xiaobu: "Twist, the woman is the rapist, bad guys get raped, wakaka!" The woman bursts into laughter: "Hahaha, didnt expect to have a handsome guy delivered right to my door, come, lets spar a bit! Hahaha" The rapist is devastated: "Ah?! Help!" ... Script twist two: The arrest officer confronts the pirate, about to bring him to justice. Lu Xiaobu: "Twist, the pirate is the Emperor." The arrest officer speechless: "Pfft, long live the Emperor, forever and ever!" The pirate laughs heartily: "My loyal subject, rise." Lu Xiaobu: "Another twist, the officer usurps the throne." The arrest officer laughs heartily: "Dog Emperor, meet your demise." The pirate Emperor: "Motherf***er!" ... Liang Lan and the others are laughing themselves insane. "Young Master, how do you come up with this?" Liang Lan clutching her stomach, really laughing so hard it hurts. "Its so fun, especially that part with the rapist, I almost cried laughing." Wu Qianmin is also holding her stomach, tears coming out from laughter: "The damsel is the rapist and molests the rapist, hehe!" The guests are all laughing out loud. "I cant take it anymore, Young Master Bu is too amazing." "Young Master Bu, can I be next? Ive been waiting for so long, Ill take any twist. If you say Im an imperial eunuch, Ill own it!" "Zhang Meng, no more booze, bring me two more jars, this is just too freaking fun." "..." ... Inside the bar theres roaring laughter and merry drinking, but outside a group of unwelcome visitors arrives. A bunch of ruffians with open shirts, big gold chains around their necks, their faces practically emblazoned with Im a bad guy, come to the doorstep of Night Drunken Love. The bystanders quickly avoid them, not wanting to mess with these thugs. "Damn it, this author has gone on a cliffhanger again, dont let me find out where you live, or I swear Ill cripple you." A guy with a red Mohawk named Fire Turkey, clutching his phone, angrily says. His greatest pleasure is reading transmigration novels, always hopeful that he might transmigrate someday. "Brother Ji, this is it, this bar just opened and didnt even pay tribute. Boss Fu told us to come give em a special look." A lackey points out Night Drunken Love. "Okay, lets do it, let them know who calls the shots in this street, just to let off some steam for me." Excited, Fire Turkey squints his eyes and arrogantly issues the order. Under Fire Turkeys command, a bunch of thugs with sticks and rods in hand go clattering into the place. "Dear customers..." The doorman is about to speak. "Get lost!" Fire Turkey slaps the doorman against the wall. Immediately, a lackey holds a rod to the doormans neck: "Shut up, or youre done for." In that manner, the group struts down the hall toward the drapes at the entrance of the tavern. "Its just freaking this place? Its really a freaking maze." Fire Turkey sideswipes the drape with his stick and walks in: "Who the hell are you guys, so damn arrogant, dont you know whose turf this is... is... is... is..." He cant continue his speech. Because the already electrified patrons, eyes darting around, are waiting for the next performance to begin. Theyve noticed a pattern: the more proactive you are, the more chances you get to perform, like that fatty named Lu Hao next to them, who freakin performed three times already, even once with a beauty! So... The moment Fire Turkey makes a noise and flips open the curtain. Swoosh The eyes of everyone in the bar instantly converged on us, and some even drew their realistic toy swords with a whoosh! That scene... It was really brimming with murderous intent! Turkey looked at each one of them, dressed in ancient costumes, brandishing swords and knives, exuding lethal energy. He was thoroughly freaked out and immediately thought of time-travel novelsfuck, did I travel through time?! So he immediately plopped to his knees, hands raised high, babbling: "Great Heroes, I didnt mean to offend you! I just picked a door curtain and somehow time-traveled! Right, perhaps you dont know what time-travel means. Simply put, Im from the future, you get the future, right? Forget it, um... everyone... spare my life, please!" And Turkeys minions, as soon as they walked in and saw the scene... The others were holding weapons; the boss was kneeling on one side... Nothing more to say, just kneel! And then... Plop, plop. "Spare our lives!" A group of street gangsters were kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for mercy. "Er..." The Great Heroes looked at each other, equally befuddled, and stood stillwhat in the world is going on? "Uncle Master, these are the street thugs from this street; I recognize him, Ill handle it." Zhang Wenliang immediately offered his eager assistance; he would not have to play the villain anymore if he could just perform one more act. He was very much looking forward to it. "Oh? Gangsters?" Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a mischievous smile: "No need, Zhang Meng, go inform everyone that this performance is a time-travel play, and the opponents are a bunch of thugs. However, make sure to keep an eye out so that no one gets hurt." "Alrighty." Zhang Meng immediately nodded. Once the message was quietly passed along, everyone nodded, understanding each others signalsoh, its a time-travel play. No wonder Young Master Bu is so talented; he came up with such an idea. Suddenly, everyone started to smirkthis seemed fun. "Hey, kid, come here." The fatty called Lu Hao slapped the table and was the first to speak with a stern face. People around rolled their eyes; it was him again. But they all knew the drillwhen he spoke, they only needed to watch carefully. "Great Hero, what are your orders?" Turkey quickly climbed up from the ground and humbly approached. According to novel knowledge, there usually isnt any danger when meeting people from other worlds for the first time; there might even be benefits. "En, I see you have a remarkable bone structure, and I dont have much time left. I would like you to inherit my mantle. Would you be willing?" Lu Hao stood with his belly out, fully playing the part of the senior. "Willing, willing, willing..." Turkey nodded eagerly like a pecking chickenhere comes the Golden Finger. "Good, well, let me see your aptitude in detail." Lu Hao slowly nodded: "First, tuck your hands into your butt." "Huh?" Turkeys face was a picture of confusionwhat the hell is this? S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What? Dont you trust me?" The fatty snorted coldly and made a sudden palm motion in the air towards a customer at a nearby table who had played along with him earlier and was now extremely cooperative. "Ah! Demon Lord, we had no enmity in the past nor recent grievances; yet you strike me with such a vicious blow! Ah... ah!" The customers face contorted as he slowly slid off the chair and even convulsed a couple of times on the floor. Turkey lost his mind. Fuck, what just happened? Why didnt I feel anything? Could this be the legendary Bone Melting Palm? "Drag him away." Lu Hao gestured grandly, and someone immediately dragged the customer away. "Now do you see? Dont do it, and youll die!" Lu Hao stared at Turkey and said coldly. "Will do, will do!" Turkey immediately noddedmeeting a great master here! Once he learned Kung Fu, could he not swagger across the world? Thus, under everyones gaze, Turkey executed the embarrassing act of tucking his hands into his butt to the utmost! The entire bar burst into laughter! They couldnt hold it in any longer! Chapter 45 I Am Your Dad [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 45: Chapter 45 I Am Your Dad [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu watched the scene and laughed while slapping the table: "This fatty is really a freaking genius." "Too funny." Wu Qianmin laughed with her mouth wide open, totally abandoning any ladylike image. Only Liang Lan was still holding it in, but couldnt help letting out bursts of laughter. The tavern guests were even more unrestrained. "Pff, hahahaha!" "I cant, I cant, my stomach hurts." "This pose is really damn good-looking, like a big white beacon!" "..." Fire Crows face turned red with embarrassment, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. "Whats there to be afraid of?" Lu Hao said, struggling to hold back his laughter, "When your Divine Skill is fully developed, you can get your revenge. We cultivators need to have a resilient heart." "Yes!" Fire Crow gritted his teeth. The fatty trembled with suppressed laughter and accidentally... "Clatter." His cellphone fell out. "Huh?" Fire Crow looked at the cellphone on the ground, bemused: "Cellphone? Master, are you also a time-traveler?" "Yes, I am also a time-traveler." Lu Hao looked at Fire Crows silly expression and couldnt hold back any longer, laughing loudly: "Hahaha, we are all time-travelers." Seeing that the fatty wasnt holding back, the guests let loose even more, each taking out their phones. "Yes, we are all time-travelers, keep your pose and let us take a photo." "Should you trend on social media first? Well help you!" "Seriously, youre such a devoted actor, its my first time seeing someone perform like its real." "..." For a moment, Fire Crow was surrounded by flashlights, hands still stuck on his buttocks, and his mind turned to mush. "Alright, alright, thats enough." Lu Xiaobu, out of breath from laughing and extremely delighted, said: "Zhang Wenliang, handle this, make sure its handled well, I dont want to see anyone retaliated against, once you return, you can act the good guy." "Sure thing, Uncle." Zhang Wenliang said excitedly, calling him uncle with absolute easefinally he could act the good guy. The baffled Fire Crow was taken away by Zhang Wenliang, what happened to him afterward is not elaborated. The atmosphere in the tavern remained lively, guests continuously promoted the new Night Drunken Tavern through various channels, drawing more people over. The recurring scenes of newcomers unaware of the rules being pranked by the old-timers. "Sister Lan, you can mix drinks, right?" Lu Xiaobu leaned on the bar, grinning as he watched the taverns performances, meanwhile asking. "A bit." Liang Lan nodded. "Then, Sister Lan, this ones for you, help me mix a Coca-Cola." Lu Xiaobu took out the Coca-Cola recipe. "Okay, Young Master, Ill go now." Liang Lan glanced at the recipe, nodded, noting it was very detailed, wondering what kind of drink it would be. Zhang Wenliang returned enthusiastically, rubbing his hands and smiling: "Uncle, Ive handled it, I can..." "Go ahead." Lu Xiaobu gestured with his hands: "Ill set the stage, the next act is yours." "Hahaha, its finally my turn." Zhang Wenliang, thrilled, immediately changed his clothes and blended into the tavern scene. He had thoroughly planned his script, including all sorts of twists. Even if Lu Xiaobu threw curveballs at him, he would perform seamlessly, fulfilling his Jianghu dream. He was ready to thoroughly enjoy himself. But what he didnt notice was that Zhang Meng suddenly whispered to Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master, Zhang Wenliangs father, Zhang Benhu has arrived. It seems like hes concealing his identity, perhaps to probe our taverns information. Should we do something..." Lu Xiaobu instantly revealed a huge wicked smile: "No, let him stay hidden, go, let father and son duel. Sounds quite interesting." ... Zhang Wenliang, dressed in a pure white ancient scholar outfit, sat quietly, sipping his drink. Having secured a promise from Lu Xiaobu, he didnt need to forcibly add drama to himself like the others, he just needed to maintain enough presence. Bang And at this moment, a huge hammer suddenly smashed down on the table, producing a dull sound. At the same time, a man clad in nightwalker attire with a veiled hat covering his face, making it obscure, sat opposite Zhang Wenliang, guided by Zhang Meng. This burly man didnt say a word and just began to drink the wine in front of Zhang Wenliang. "Friend, isnt that a bit much? If you wanted a drink, just say so. Why steal someone elses love?" Zhang Wenliang, with full swagger, said calmly. His eyes were filled with boundless joy, and he couldnt help but reveal an excited smile at the corners of his mouth. Looks like calling this uncle here wasnt in vain. Lu Xiaobu knows Im playing a scholar and even brought a burly man to act opposite me. Yes, yes, thats right, the greater the contrast, the higher the swagger! "Hmm? Hmph!" The veiled Zhang Benhu snorted coldly, ignoring Zhang Wenliangs words, and continued drinking. He couldnt understand why, given that Lu Xiaobu had just taken over with trust issues, and after a bar smashing, it could still be this buzzing? So, he came to secretly investigate. However, what he didnt know was that his so-called disguise was completely transparent in the eyes of former Special Soldier instructor Zhang Meng! "How dare you ignore me? Youve got guts!" Zhang Wenliang barked sternly, continuing to swagger: "It seems my Scholars Life-taking Sword has been silent in Jianghu too long, that even the cats and dogs dare to steal my thing." "How audacious!" Zhang Benhu slammed the table fiercely, chastising, although he was here on serious business, being insulted by his son was still uncomfortable. "Audacious? When I was bold, you didnt even know whose womb you were in!" Zhang Wenliang sneered, but his heart was slightly puzzled; this voice sounded very familiar. "Talk nonsense again, and Ill smack you, I will!" Zhang Benhu was extremely furious. "Smack me? State your name, my Scholars Life-taking doesnt strike the anonymous!" Zhang Wenliang slowly drew his Treasure Sword, dressed in a white robe, looking incredibly dashing. He saw some of the beautiful women around showing admiring expressions, feeling even more delighted! Hahaha, this is the real me, what Zhang Liuchou; all that is fake. "I am your father!" Zhang Benhu roared. "And I am your grandfather!" sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhang Wenliang also got angry, what kind of person is this? How could they be so disrespectful and scold randomly? "I really am your father!" Zhang Benhu was so angry he almost flipped the table. "I really am your grandfather!" Zhang Wenliang was so agitated he almost truly struck with his sword. "Damn, youre reversed (rebelling against me)!" Zhang Benhu could no longer hold back, and yanked off the hat on his head: "Take a good look, am I your father?" "I bloody..." Zhang Wenliang was about to curse again. And then... "Dad?!" Zhang Wenliang, looking at that familiar face, was gobsmacked. "Come on, tell me, whos grandfather are you? Huh!" Zhang Benhu verbally lashed out, slapping him across: "And whos the bloody womb you mentioned? Thats your grandmothers belly!" "Dad? Why are you here? And dressed up like this?" Zhang Wenliang felt like crying but had no tears; who had he provoked? Once he heard that, Zhang Benhus old face blushed, but he still yelled: "Im your dad, its none of your business?" As family members know their own affairs, his personality was rather suspicious, hence he often overthought things. His current incognito identity, together with previously taking advantage of Liang Lan, and deploying a tactic of injuring oneself to win the enemys trust during the car show today, all followed the same rationale. However, he truly couldnt understand why these tactics, usually incredibly effective against other businessmen, even business tycoons, repeatedly failed miserably with Lu Xiaobu, this prodigal son, even humiliating himself? What on earth was with this young wastrel? Frighteningly enigmatic! Chapter 46: Young Master’s Life Essence [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Young Masters Life Essence [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Zhang Big Bro, whats the meaning of sneaking around like this? Youve made a joke of yourself." Lu Xiaobu leaned on the counter, waving his hand with a smile at Zhang Benhu: "Wu Qianmin finally got a chance to play a good guy, and you just ruined it." "Exactly, exactly, what my uncle said is right." Zhang Wenliang was frantically nodding to the side. "Brat, I am your dad, when did it become your turn to lecture me?" Zhang Benhus old face reddened, he argued. "Alright, Zhang Wenliang, your turn, the next round is still yours." Lu Xiaobu said with a smilethis poor kid, he calls his uncle so sweetly, he should get some benefits. "Thank you, Uncle." Zhang Wenliang was ecstatic, scurrying away immediately. "Ahem, Xiaobu," Zhang Benhu coughed twice to hide his embarrassment: "I see that you run a very nice bar. Ive come to learn from you; you dont mind, do you?" "Whatever," said Lu Xiaobu indifferently. At this moment, Liang Lan came by: "Young Master, your drink is ready." "Oh?" Lu Xiaobu was instantly delighted, finally able to have a sip of cola, drinking juice every day was about to make him throw up. He took the cola, guzzled a couple of gulps, feeling the slightly choking unique sensation of the cola, wildly refreshed. "Wow ka ka, thats it, hahaha, Ive wanted to drink this for so long." Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily. "Uh... Young Master, this dark and medicine-like thing is really tasty?" Liang Lan asked, puzzled. "You havent tried it?" Lu Xiaobu counter-questioned. "Hehe..." Liang Lan gave an awkward laugh: "Its mainly the color of this thing; it really doesnt pique my interest. Although I know for sure its sweet, my heart still always feels like its medicine." Lu Xiaobu: "Come on, take a sip." "Well, Ill try it." Liang Lan, trusting in Lu Xiaobus opinion, took a sip. "Mmm? Mmm!" Liang Lans eyebrows shot up suddenly, her eyes revealing an ecstatic delight. The distinct and intense taste mixed with the carbonation continuously stimulated her taste buds, making every one of her 36,000 pores seemingly open up. Her spirit entered a transcendent state. "Come on, Qianmin, you try it too." Lu Xiaobu called over the little vinegar jar, passing it to Wu Qianmin. "Hmph." Wu Qianmin snorted arrogantly, reluctantly taking a sip. This Lu Xiaobu, really... annoying! Ever since Sister Lan came along, he had left her aside. Could it really be because her figure wasnt enough... Oh wow, this drink is so delicious, what is it? Wu Qianmin, strongly hit by the cola, couldnt care less about her jealousy anymore. Jealous of what? Vinegar isnt even tasty! "Xiaobu, I want more," Wu Qianmin cooed. "Call me good brother and Ill give you some," Lu Xiaobu said with a sly smile. "Mmm..." Wu Qianmin stared at Lu Xiaobu, then glanced at the cola in his hand. Suddenly, in a coquettish tone, she said: "Good brother, I want more." She let go of her inhibitions, since everyone here was role-playing, she could play along for once. "Hiss... so freaking cool, my bones are melting." Lu Xiaobu shivered: "I really didnt expect your voice to sound so pleasant." "What voice? What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Qianmins pretty face blushed, as if the conversation had been derailed. Liang Lan had also recovered by now, staring at the cola in Lu Xiaobus hands, suddenly revealing a mischievous smile akin to Lu Xiaobus, and whispered seductively into his ear: "Young Master... I want more too! Can you really bear not to give it to me?" Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh! Yes! My goodness!" Lu Xiaobu feeling the damp and soft breeze in his ear, got goosebumps all over himself. When it comes to teasing, Sister Lan takes the cake. But now, heres the dilemma, theres only a bit of cola left, and Im not yet satisfied. Now both Wu Qianmin and Sister Lan want some, who should I give it to? "Sister Lan! You, youre so annoying!" Wu Qianmin stomp her feet in anger: "That was clearly mine." "What did you say was yours?" Liang Lan innocently asked: "The Young Masters Life Essence is yours?" "Yes, thats it!" Wu Qianmin hurriedly replied. And then... Under the mischievous glances of Liang Lan and Lu Xiaobu. Swoosh Wu Qianmins pretty face blushed all the way to her neck. She was utterly embarrassed. What am I saying? What... What Life Essence? "Giggle!" Liang Lan covered her mouth and chuckled lightly: "Young Master, just give it to Qianmin. Shes about to cry if you dont." "Here, here, here." Lu Xiaobu also smiled and handed it over: "Here you go, my Life Essence." "Lu! Xiao! Bu!" Wu Qianmin shouted in frustration. "Huh?" The gazes of others in the bar were immediately drawn over. "Uh... No! Its nothing!" Under everyones gaze, Wu Qianmins face turned even hotter, and she bit her teeth saying. "Oh!" The gazes in the bar shifted away again. Wu Qianmin glared at this troublemaker, huffing with anger, hugged her cola, turned her head away, and drank it furiously through the straw. Theyre all bad guys, bad guys, Ill bite them to death! "Here, Young Master." Liang Lan brought over two cans of cola from the kitchen and handed them to Lu Xiaobu. "You shouldve told me earlier, I thought there wasnt any left." Lu Xiaobu nodded happily, and they both started drinking, one can each. "Young Master, are we going to sell this stuff?" Liang Lan asked, biting on her straw. "Why should we sell it?" Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly. "Today, the Young Master has squandered eight million, which is nearly half of our familys liquid assets. The restaurants income trickles in slowly and wont have an immediate effect. If the Young Master doesnt start making some money, I fear the day after tomorrow there wont be any money left for squandering," Liang Lan analyzed. "Oh? Out of money?" Lu Xiaobu scratched his head: "Seems like Ive been a bit too extravagant these past few days." "Exactly, so if the Young Master allows this drink to be sold, it would be the fastest way to recoup funds," Liang Lan said earnestly. Although her duty wasnt to make money, it would be her fault if the lack of funds led to the Young Master being unhappy due to not being able to splurge. "Alright then, lets sell it," Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Sister Lan, Ill leave it to you." "Okay, Im on it," Liang Lan excitedly replied, nodding her head. Its been a while since making money; this is quite exciting. Liang Lan approached the little waiter Zhang Meng: "Zhang Meng, have Li Jin come over. Im going out to run an errand for the Young Master, and he shouldnt be left alone. Li Jin has a quick mind; he can be of some help." "Thats fine." Zhang Meng immediately nodded as well. "Li Jin, drop whatever youre doing and get to Night Drunken Love Bar as soon as possible, the Young Master needs someone," Zhang Meng dialed the phone straight away. "Alright! Im on my way!" Li Jin yelled excitedly, his eyes brimming with tears: "Finally! At last! I dont have to deal with cars anymore, the instructor has finally stopped picking on me! Heaven has eyes!" "Cough cough." Zhang Meng blushed, it seemed he had been a bit too hard on his subordinate.

Zhang Benhu was pulling an unwilling Zhang Wenliang, sitting in a corner carefully observing this ancient bar created by Lu Xiaobu. As the saying goes, amateurs watch the excitement; professionals watch the technique. As a bar tycoon, Zhang Benhu was truly shocked: "So terrifying, son, look at the gap between you and them." "Whats wrong?" Zhang Wenliang said unhappily. "What do you mean whats wrong?" Zhang Benhu sighed: "Do you know how much revenue this bar makes in an hour? Its one hundred thousand! One hundred thousand!" "One hundred thousand? Thats not a lot! Our Drunken Love used to make five hundred thousand in a night!" Zhang Wenliang shrugged, "This bar has just opened, plus theres the previous incident where Lu Xiaobu saved people, so these numbers arent too surprising." "Yes, youre just considering the positive aspects, what about the negatives?" Zhang Benhu shook his head: "First of all, its Monday, even before the peak hours of the bar business." "And Drunken Love has just been smashed, even just got over a trust crisis." "Balancing the pros and cons, the current figures can essentially be seen as normal revenue. That means, this bars daily revenue is around one million, could Drunken Love match that?" "What?! That much?!" Zhang Wenliang was stunned and jumped up: "Hows that possible? The profit margins of bars are essentially fixed, the current crowd shouldnt be able to achieve that." As a Young Master Zhang, he naturally knew how high the profit margins of a bar can be, a beer sold outside for two or three yuan can be sold in a bar for twenty to thirty yuan. People who come to bars to spend, spending a thousand or so in one night, dare not even speak loudly. But by that standard, its hard to reach a million in revenue. "Its different from ordinary bars where one drink can last the whole night. Take a look here, everyone is devouring meat and drinking in big bowls like Great Heroes!" Zhang Benhu patted the wine jar in front of him: "This jar of wine, is enough for them to spend the night in ordinary bars. Are they eating and drinking or spending money!" "My god, how did I not think of this?" Zhang Wenliang said in shock: "This prodigal son is really terrifying?!" "Thats exactly the problem, the business model of this bar, to put it bluntly, is to make people spend money uncontrollably in excitement." Zhang Benhu reproachfully said: "Even you, Young Master Zhang, who mingles in bars every day, are so addicted that you call me uncle effortlessly, not to mention the others." "I wanted you to help and learn, but what about you? You cant even match up to a prodigal son, isnt that shameful?" "Dad, stop blaming me." Zhang Wenliang pouted, "Youve been running bars for so many years, havent you still been surpassed by this prodigal son, Lu Xiaobu?" "This..." Zhang Benhu felt a bit embarrassed, it seemed to be true, but he immediately said seriously: "Lets keep watching, I feel like Lu Xiaobu will come up with something new. After all, its almost the most bustling part of the night! From what I estimate, an hourly revenue of one hundred and fifty thousand during the latter half of the night should be no problem." As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Xiaobu was seen standing on the bar, looking like he was about to speak. "Dad, you really are powerful, you even guessed it." Zhang Wenliang was suddenly shocked. "Not bad, not bad." Zhang Benhu smiled proudly, finally gaining some face in front of his son. Then... "Closed, closed, leaving, leaving, I need to go home and sleep. I have school tomorrow morning." Lu Xiaobu shouted to the people inside the bar like he was herding ducks. "What the hell!" Zhang family father and son slid down from their chairs. What the hell is this? Its about to enter the most bustling time of the night, and you are starting to drive people out? Not taking the money? The bars patrons also started to become dissatisfied. "Young Master Bu, no! Its just getting exciting!" "Exactly, exactly, Ive waited all night and its still not my turn." "Young Master Bu, its only just past midnight, my friends are still on their way here." "..." "Go away, no, no, Im tired. Who has the time to hang out with you?" Lu Xiaobu shook his head: "Zhang Meng, Li Jin, shoo them away!" "Yes, Young Master." Two Special Soldiers immediately began to drive people out. The patrons, greatly agitated. "Hey, thats too much! Im here to spend money, and youre kicking me out?" "Thats right, Young Master Xiaobu, although we all get along quite well, dont make us never come back." "..." But no matter how dissatisfied these patrons were, they were all driven out by Zhang Meng and Li Jin. The patrons watched angrily as the doors of Ye Zui Qing closed behind them. "Were never coming back!" "Thats right, thats right, isnt this torment?" "How can this be?" "..." Then... "Young Master said, if you dont come, then tomorrow is a holiday," Zhang Meng said. The patrons immediately began to wail. They just wanted to stay a little longer, they didnt mean they really wouldnt come back. "Holy crap! What? No way! We were just joking!" "Meng bro, Meng bro! Talk to Young Master Xiaobu, we cant take a holiday!" "Have we not apologized enough?" "..." Zhang Meng: "Young Master says he wants to hear something nice." The patrons looked at each other and then shouted in unison. "Young Master Xiaobu, may your legend reign over Jianghu forever, long live, long live, long everlasting!" Zhang Meng: "Young Master said, its reluctantly okay, lets open tomorrow." "Thank you Young Master Xiaobu! Long live Young Master Xiaobu!" Then a group of people started forming cliques, crafting all sorts of scripts, and then promising to come over on time tomorrow. The Zhang family father and son were stunned. "I... this... is there such a show-off move?" Zhang Wenliang dazedly watched the scene: "Driven away but still want to come? Should we try this with our bar?" "Try my ass, you go drive someone away and see if you dont get blacklisted!" Zhang Benhu also broke down: "Damn, its lethal to compare people!" "No, why, why only Lu Xiaobu can do this and be fine?" Zhang Wenliang couldnt figure it out. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Dont ask me, I have no idea." Zhang Benhu gritted his teeth: "Lets go home, notify the think tank, and have them research all night. We must find out the reasons!" A bar tycoon, stunned by a prodigal sons show-off moves! Wu Qianmin was angry: "Lu Xiaobu, why did you stop? You could have made money, youve already spent millions today, wouldnt it be good to ease their burden a bit?" "Making money? Is making money my mission? My task is to squander!" Lu Xiaobu sipped his cola, shrugged, and smiled cheerfully, he had a lot of fun today. "You! Prodigal!" Wu Qianmin was so angry she didnt know what to say. "Thanks for the compliment." Lu Xiaobu chuckled: "Going home now!" "Hmph!" Wu Qianmin was even more furious. But what she didnt know was that at this very moment, Lu Xiaobus show-off moves were going viral all over the internet! Chapter 48: The Wisdom of the Prodigal Son - Boom [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Wisdom of the Prodigal Son - Boom [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Those customers who were kicked out, although they complimented Lu Xiaobu for the sake of returning the next day, Their hearts were still very unsatisfied. So one by one, they vented their dissatisfaction through various online channels that they frequented. Phantom: "Im convinced, this is the first time Ive been kicked out of a bar. Even with money, theres nowhere to spend it." Below, theres a picture of him performing, dressed in knight attire, slashing his opponent with a sword, looking incredibly dashing. "Damn, where is this? Are you acting as an extra? But thats not right either, if youre an extra, you should be the one getting slashed!" "Top floor, we strongly demand you tell us where this is?" "I also want to live the great hero high." Phantom: "Forget it, I suggest you guys dont go, or youll end up being kicked out after dropping your pants." "Holy crap, now that youve mentioned it, I want to go even more!" "Thats right, this fully proves your photo is real!" "No way, you must tell me the address, otherwise, I wont pay back the money I owe you." Phantom: "Alright, alright, damn it, its actually the former Night Drunken Love Bar, now taken over by Lu Xiaobu and remodeled!" ... Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Im not called Long Aotian: "Damn truly depressing, for the first time got kicked out of a nightclub." "Oh, wow, damn, 666, even Long Aotian, the nightclub tyrant, got kicked out?" "Long Aotian, hurry and tell me the address, I want to show you whats called the real nightclub prince." Im not called Long Aotian: "Go to hell, you try going there, I guarantee all of you will be kicked out, damn it!" "I just dont believe it." "Send the address!" Im not called Long Aotian: "Its the former Night Drunken Love, if you have the guts, go there tomorrow, if you can act tough, from then on, Ill call you bro!" ... Similar comments spread widely on the internet. Suddenly, peoples interest was piqued. Everyone expressed that they wanted to check out this unique, one-of-a-kind tavern in Jianghu that dared to kick customers out. At the same time, the Zhang Familys think tank was also analyzing this peculiar phenomenon under the orders of Zhang Benhu. Why would the actions of Lu Xiaobu that were out of the ordinary turn out to be successful? Think tank member one: "Boss, Ive found that actually, everything today is closely related to todays act of saving people." "Firstly, Lu Xiaobus reckless lifesaving incident aligns with our countrys spirit of the Great HeroIn the name of the Great Hero, serve the country and the people." "Therefore, from the start, the customers approval of Lu Xiaobu was very high." "As a result, whatever Lu Xiaobu did, these people had a sense of trust in him." "And he has chosen an ancient-style tavern, the Great Hero Tavern, which conforms to this spirit, and involuntarily gained everyones recognition." Zhang Benhu nodded: "Well said." Think tank member two: "Boss, I think, the actual reason for Lu Xiaobus success today is about promises." "He promised everyone to go to Night Drunken Love Bar to pick up money, and indeed he was there." "He promised the bar would open at ten oclock, and the bar opened." "This fulfillment of promises, big or small, got everyone approving of Lu Xiaobus words." Zhang Benhu rolled his eyes: "Nonsense! Tell me, whats the difference between what you and number one said?" Think tank member two cut in confidently: "Theres no difference." Zhang Benhu: "Get lost!" Think tank member three: "I think, Lu Xiaobus greatest advantage is his profligacy." "Profligacy?" Zhang Benhu frowned." Think tank member three: "Yes, profligacy! According to my understanding, when Lu Xiaobu started his bar operations, he generously gave five thousand yuan each to the good Samaritans of the day, totaling a small million." "For the average person, five thousand is a substantial amount of money." "As a result, when they spend money at the bar, they do so with the mindsetHave fun, the money isnt mine anyway." "As everyone knows, the more money you spend, the more affirmation you get." "Because of the money given by Lu Xiaobu, all the guests were fully enjoying tonight, hence the performances were at their best." "Thats why theyre happy, and because of this, when theyre kicked out, they are even more furious." "But at this moment, fury and happiness do not conflict, they even complement each other." "These two extreme emotions showcased the goodness of the new Night Drunken Love to the extreme!" "This also explains why these people, even though they expressed their anger online, more people became interested in Night Drunken Love." Zhang Benhu nodded seriously: "Youre right, it really is like this. People are always curious about the unknown. Seeing their friends post happy photos yet furious words, anyone would be interested." Think tank member four: "I agree with what number three said, but theres one thing that number three overlooked, and thats Lu Xiaobus talent." Upon this remark. "Cut!" All members of the think tank said disdainfully: "What talent does a wastrel have?" Hearing the mocking words of the others, number four ignored them and blandly said: "Lu Xiaobus greatest talent lies in absurdity, or one might say, he pulls off whatever comes to mind. Ive seen the scripts that Young Master Zhang brought back." "To be honest, those so-called plot twist scripts are very low-level, so low-level that even a child could think of them." "But, its these extremely low-level plot twist scripts that, except for Lu Xiaobu, no one else would think of at that specific time point." "This is Lu Xiaobus wisdom, turning complexity into simplicity, and appearing to be simple yet profound." "Of course, I know these words of mine will be scoffed at by everyone, so..." "Boss Zhang, I resign, thank you for your kindness during this time." After saying this, number four left promptly. Zhang Benhu opened his mouth, wanting to retain him, but he didnt manage to say anything. Because, even he felt that the so-called talent of a wastrel was nonsense. A wastrel, its just luck, how could there be any talent? He felt that Lu Xiaobu was now like a three-year-old child, wielding a sharp large knife, fighting a muscular brute. As it turned out, the child was lucky, a gust of wind blew over, and the knife fell, crushing the brute to death. All of this was just good luck. Their research was to figure out how to turn this kind of coincidental event into inevitability, rather than crediting all of this to a wastrels wisdom. After all, that would be too embarrassing. These thoughts definitely were not just fleeting; they were the majority view of Lu Xiaobu. Extravagant, foolish, brainlessthis was the deeply entrenched view of Lu Xiaobu, not to be changed overnight. And this kind of thinking was the fundamental reason for a series of events that would happen next. Whats the normal reaction when facing someone who is foolish with abundant money? Thats definitely to swindle money.

He covered himself with Liang Lans original-flavored quilt and peacefully drifted off to sleep. The next day, under Lu Wenhaos relentless badgering, Lu Xiaobu had no choice but to get up, get dressed, and prepare for school. At the dining table. "Young Master, Im incompetent. I couldnt find a beverage factory to acquire. Ill go look again today," Liang Lan said apologetically. She had searched all night and couldnt find a single factory for sale. "Oh, never mind, its fine," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. "I didnt expect these lousy beverage factories to actually be able to keep going." At school. "Hold this for me, heres 500." Lu Xiaobu tossed his two-tael-heavy backpack to the security guard at the gate. "Sure, Young Master, no problem, Young Master." The security guard said gleefully. "Im leaving, wont deal with you anymore." Wu Qianmin rolled her eyes on the sidethis Lu Xiaobu, he couldnt even be bothered to carry a backpack that didnt contain a single book. After Wu Qianmin left. "Xiaobu, good morning." Suddenly, the voice of Liu Changlong, the son of a wealthy family, came from behind. "Hmm, morning. How do you plan to rip me off?" Lu Xiaobu said casually. "This... what do you mean rip you off?" Liu Changlong seemed a bit embarrassed. "Nonsense. We arent exactly good friends. You greeting me out of the blue? Thats like a weasel paying a visit to a chicken," Lu Xiaobu said with a sneer. "Alright, Ill get straight to the point then," Liu Changlong continued. "I heard youre looking for a beverage factory. I have one to offer, the whole package, two million. What do you say?" "Let me calculate." Lu Xiaobu glanced at the amount he was prepared to squander. "Fixed price, 1.82 million." "Deal, its settled then. Heres the address, and Ive got the contract right here," Liu Changlong said as he handed over the prepared contract to Lu Xiaobu. Signing the contract, making money, arranging for his subordinates to handle the procedures, all done in one go. With a sneer, Liu Changlong immediately left the schoolhe wasnt there to attend classes anyway. His task for the day was just to swindle Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu called Liang Lan: "Sister Lan, I bought the factory, you can go check it out." After hanging up the phone. "Ah, what an ordinary day." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily, feeling relieved that he had finally paid off his debt. The security guard nearby heard his words... Looked at Lu Xiaobu, who spent 1.8 million in a minute... Then looked at the ordinary students beside him discussing what to eat for lunch... And finally looked at himself, carrying a backpack for others for 500... He collapsed. Im sorry, Young Master Bu, Ive let down the ordinary! Its just impossible to be ordinary! ... Heading to class. "Hey, babe." Lu Xiaobu leaned on his desk, admiring Zhou Jingyuans starkly contrasting weapons, and greeted her. "Go to hell." Zhou Jingyuan, this fiery girl, rolled her eyes and pulled out a bottle of beverage called Wild Drink, tossing it to Lu Xiaobu: "Here, this is for you." "What is this?" Lu Xiaobu glanced at the beverage bottle. "This is a new drink that just came out overseas, its getting rave reviews abroad. Its not yet available on the domestic market, but its said that the introduction has already started, so Im letting you taste it in advance." Zhou Jingyuan smiled: "See, Im good to you, arent I? Thinking of you whenever theres something nice to drink." "Oh, now I get why Liu Changlong would sell me a beverage factory." Lu Xiaobu shrugged in understanding. "Beverage factory?" Zhou Jingyuans smile instantly froze: "You bought it?" "I did." "How much?" "One million eight hundred and twenty thousand, pretty cheap." "Cheap my ass!" Zhou Jingyuan instantly flipped out: "You prodigal son, it may look cheap now, but once this Wild Drink hits, and the market gets impacted, that factory wont even be worth one million five hundred thousand! Its clear that Liu Changlong is setting you up! Did you even think about it? Are you trying to piss me off?" "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu was stunned for a moment: "But thats my money, isnt it?" "Uh..." Zhou Jingyuan felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her: "Well, it seems so." "So what are you getting so worked up about?" "Im just bored out of my mind." "Do you even have balls?" "I do! If I took them out, theyd be bigger than yours!" "Then show me." sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Get lost!" Zhou Jingyuan got sidetracked by Lu Xiaobus retort and calmed down a bit: "Im going to call Liu Changlong right now, I said when in school, Id look out for you. If that Liu Changlong dares to scam you, I wont let him off!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged, indifferent. "Hey, Liu Changlong, youve gone too far!" Zhou Jingyuan angrily said on the call: "Even if Lu Xiaobu is a bit dumb, you cant scam him like that." Lu Xiaobu: "..." Whos dumb? Thats too much. "Hey, my dear lady, you cant just say that! A deal is a deal where both parties are willing, who scammed whom? When Lu Xiaobu was bargaining with me, I agreed pleasantly," Liu Changlong sneered: "Right, Lu Xiaobu?" "Well, thats true. He was pretty straightforward about that." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Damn... you guys..." Zhou Jingyuan was so angry she started stamping her feet. Fuck, ones scamming, the others getting scammed, and both of you damn well seem happy about it, so Im just a busybody meddling in other peoples business, right? "Lady, you heard it. So, just stay out of this," Liu Changlong scoffed: "By the way, Ill let you know, our Liu Family has already secured the agency rights for Wild Drink and we wont be giving any orders to the Lu Family." "Oh, then Ill also make it clear that I wont be giving your Liu Family any orders." Lu Xiaobu said unconcernedly. "It seems, Lu Xiaobu, that you are full of confidence. Then lets have a good contest and I hope youre not just talking big to save face. Hahaha..." Liu Changlong laughed heartily, sure of his victory. Zhou Jingyuan ended the call, glared at Lu Xiaobu with a huff: "Im trying to help you and youre helping him? Who ends up being scammed?" As she got angrier, her breathing intensified, and the enormous motions at her chest became more intense, drawing Lu Xiaobus eyes wide even though he had seen it several times, it was still impressively big. "Chill out, its no big deal," Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly with a cola formula in hand, he feared no challenge from any beverage. "Lu! Xiaobu! Im done with you!" Zhou Jingyuan was so angry, she sat back down and started furiously poking at the paper with her pen: "Nosy, nosy, just too damn nosy..." Lu Xiaobu shrugged, opened the Wild Drink Zhou Jingyuan had just given him, and took a sip... Pfft He sprayed it all over the guy sitting in front of him. "What the hell is this monstrosity? Have foreigners taste buds all gone haywire? So sweet it clogs the throat, and they call this a beverage?" Lu Xiaobu quickly grabbed some mineral water to rinse his mouth while saying to the person in front: "Heres five hundred bucks, for my apology." "Thanks, Young Master Bu." The person in front was thrilled: "Young Master, today my hair is all yours, spray it whenever you like!" "Get lost." Lu Xiaobu laughed and cursed. He opened Weibo he was going to give this shitty drink a piece of his mind! Chapter 50 Neatly Slapping the Face [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Neatly Slapping the Face [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Theres another one after 12 oclock, and tomorrow morning is the last day for recommendations, guys give me some strength! I really dont want to, dont want to flop again! I really dont want to! Lu Xiaobu opens the website. Without even turning the page, he sees dozens of news articles about this Wild Drink. "Fanatic Beverage Group has just announced they will enter the Heavenly Dynasty beverage market, joy spreads far and wide" "Fanatic Beverage will bring reform to the Heavenly Dynastys beverage market" "Shimens Liu Family becomes the lucky one" "The era of saying goodbye to those tasteless beverages has arrived" And the Liu Family is also doing their utmost to promote this new beverage. They even spent a hefty sum to hire the popular fresh meat starHan Meng, to endorse it. All sorts of advertisements, all sorts of promotional videos are overwhelming. As if drinking this beverage would grant you eternal youth. And below, the comments are all praises. "Wild Drink, Ive heard a long time ago that everyone abroad is drinking this, Ive wanted to buy it for a while!" "Reserve two cases for me, Ill pay in advance, do you believe me?" "Wow, my husband Han Meng is endorsing it! I must buy, my husband is so cute!" "From now on, I wont drink any other beverages, just this Wild one, the name alone matches my personality." "..." Amidst the chorus of praises, a Weibo post stands out alone, like a golden-rooster standing on one leg! Prodigal son Lu Xiaobu: "Damn, Wild Drink? Its wild indeed! One sip almost made this Young Master choke on blood! How much sugar did you add? To storm the Heavenly Dynastys beverage market? More like storming the Heavenly Dynastys diabetes market! Putian hospitals must be warmly welcoming you! F*ck!" With a picture, a kid peeing. Normally, such a Weibo post wouldnt catch anyones attention amidst this tidal wave. But... Who let Lu Xiaobu have an Internet Navy. "Li Qiang, get the Internet Navy to boost this for me." Lu Xiaobu waves his hand grandly: "Whats the point of cursing if the other party cant see it?" "Yes!" Li Qiang immediately responds, takes out his phone to start assigning tasks. So, one minute later. The trending search list. 1. Han Meng endorses Wild Drinks, says its very good. 2. Lu Xiaobu curses Wild Drinks, what trash. 3. The biggest gap in buyers show. 4. Jianghus dream-fulfilling journey. 5. ... Now its fun. Everyone who opens the trending searches reacts. First, they see the first item... Call out, are Wild Drinks on sale now? And Han Meng is endorsing it? Then, the second item... Pfft! Holy crap! 666! What a slap in the face! The sequence of events couldnt have been more orderly! As such, Han Mengs brainless fans are completely unsettled. "What trash? Any random Tom, Dick, or Harry wants to show off their existence?" "Attention-seeking trash, you arent even fit to carry shoes for my husband Han Meng!" "Also saying Wild Drinks arent tasty, can you even afford it? It just hit the market, apart from my Mengmeng, no one else has even tasted it." "Playing the big bad wolf! Prodigal son? I think youre just a fool!" "Lu Xiaobu? Oh, isnt that the same one that got scolded to death the day before yesterday? Trash!" sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Got it, just jealous that the Liu Family got the distribution rights, are you?" "..." Seeing this scene, Liu Changlongs lips curve into a sinister smile: "Lu Xiaobu, really think your Internet Navy is invincible?" "Its been two days, still think we cant crack it? Youre underestimating me!" "Go, tell Han Meng, to subtly guide the fans, lets bury this Lu Xiaobu." "My next move is coming soon." As Liu Changlongs word reach Han Mengs ears. Han Meng posted a Weibo. Han Meng: "I dont know whats going on, but still, thanks everyone for defending me, I dont mind, really dont mind, Ive long been used to being cursed at." Originally, Lu Xiaobus Weibo was just targeting Wild Drinks, but under this deliberate guidance, Lu Xiaobu suddenly became the person who maliciously attacked Han Meng. With that, the brainless fans became even more agitated! "Curse this trash to death, Han Meng must not be wronged." "Han Meng, sorry, its our fault for not protecting you!" "Take down this idiot!" "..." In just a moment, Lu Xiaobus Weibo was besieged by the brainless fans, and even the paid trolls couldnt withstand it. "Young Master, its no good, we cant hold out, there are too many brainless fans, its terrifying." Li Qiang, with hands sore from tweeting, said helplessly. And at this time, the Weibo hot search list changed again. A Weibo post shot up directly to third place. Hot search list. 1. Han Meng endorses Wild Drinks, says theyre really good. 2. Lu Xiaobu curses Wild Drinks, calls them trash. 3. Lu Xiaobus vile troll organization, stirring chaos on the internet. 4. ... The person who posted this Weibo was a traitor from within the paid trolls. He claimed to be a loyal fan of Han Meng, blinded by money before, but now he had come to his senses. In his description, the paid trolls were an evil organization led by the will of Lu Xiaobu and driven by money, manipulating the internet and twisting righteousness! He even leaked the list of paid trolls he knew, precisely the ten thousand people on the third squad he was in. Lu Xiaobu was already at the center of the controversy. So as soon as this Weibo appeared, Lu Xiaobu was immediately pinned with the label of the most heinous. "F*ck, so thats how it is, what trash, sick and deranged stuff." "Trolls? Hope you dont drown, you think theres no justice in the world, huh?" "Look at his name, the prodigal Lu Xiaobu? Flaunting shame as pride, just goes to show hes not a good guy." "Heard he saved someone yesterday? Pretty good show, hypocrisy is even scarier than evil!" There werent just criticisms of Lu Xiaobu; especially the driver from yesterdays rescue, and that childs father - Xu Bin, were greatly defending Lu Xiaobu. Of course, Lu Xiaobus classmates were definitely among them. Xu Bin: "Dont you dare slander the man who saved my child, Young Master Bu saved my son, and even paid for our medical expenses. If you keep spouting nonsense, Ill fight you with my life!" "Exactly, Young Master Bu is a good person, the Ministry of Transportation even confirmed it. You use this incident to smear him; do you have no conscience?" However, their words were so faint, quickly drowned out by the waves of slander. "You really defend your master, huh? Good job acting like dogs!" "Yeah, so what if hes your sons savior? The acting is way too obvious." "Look at your master, not even daring to speak, and here you are blabbering." "Youre also trolls, arent you! Hope your son dies sooner and gets reincarnated!" "Idiots! Your whole family deserves to die out!" "..." Inside the hospital, Xu Bin, seeing the Weibo posts cursing his son to death, was so angry his eyes turned red! Each of these Weibo posts was like a knife stabbing his heart, painful to death! His son was everything to him; the child just got a benefactors help and narrowly escaped danger, only to be cursed to death! Who could bear it if this happened to them? Indeed, after that initial Weibo post by Lu Xiaobu, there was no more movement from his account. Was he scared of being cursed at? Didnt dare to retort? What the hell are you joking about? Yes, if it were someone else, they might choose to endure and avoid the limelight for the time being! But who is Lu Xiaobu? You think Young Master only has paid trolls, huh? Its just cursing people, huh! Alright then! Today, Young Master is going to have a proper argument with you all! You really think I cant do it?! You think Im scared of you?? Chapter 51: The Prodigal Son Knows How to Scold, Is It Strange? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Prodigal Son Knows How to Scold, Is It Strange? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The feud is escalating. "Li Qiang, tell the internet army, dont be scared, the pay is doubled today," Lu Xiaobu made the arrangement: "Also, they dont need to help me insult others, just make sure that my posts can be seen and not drowned out." "Yes!" Li Qiang immediately responded, believing that this painless and profitable endeavor would be irresistible to many. Lu Xiaobu pinched his fingers and tilted his neck, beginning to quickly organize insulting remarks in his mind. He understood clearly that at this moment, so-called justice had already become meaningless. Now its all about insulting, whoever can insult more fiercely wins. Its just insulting people, whos afraid? The internet on Earth is much more developed than here on this blue water star, of course, the derogatory words are much more abundant here too! Moreover, remember, he once studied the manual of insulting. Lu Xiaobu started: "Yes, Young Master is a prodigal, Ive never avoided this issue, Young Master squanders because Young Master is rich, did I consume your familys rice or noodles? Its none of your business, is it?" "And you guys, come on, tell me how many of you are working? Eh? A bunch of elementary school students, spending your parents money, supporting your so-called husbands? Truly surviving on instant noodles while keeping up with the rich." "I want to know is this Han Meng actually a man or a woman? Or even human? Got VIP recognition? Youre not a VIP, not even a V, I think youre just a P!" "Your complex facial features cannot disguise your simple intelligence. Seeing you, I just feel a sense of intellectual superiority naturally arising." "Do you know why I didnt insult you just now? Doing so would only insult my own intelligence." "After all, your most common tactic is to lower other peoples intelligence to the same stage as your retarded ones. Defeat us with your rich experience!" "And then you can make snide remarks! We won? You say we are more retarded than the retarded! We lost? You say were worse than beasts! A tie? Why are we any different from the retarded?" "So, Im not insulting you; I am insulting your masters! That something named Han Meng, come, roll over here for Young Master!" "You think youre awesome?! Leading your fans?!" "A performer who has no works, only relies on looks to make a living, and youve become refined? What kind? A butt-selling rabbit genius?" Li Qiang watched these insults with his mouth agape, astonished! Damn, is this still the usual Young Master Bu? Isnt Young Master Bus way of solving problems always through throwing money? How come hes now swearing at people, even more awfully than our trashy folks? "Why are you still standing there? Back me up. Is it strange that a prodigal can insult people?" Lu Xiaobu took a sip of water and said to Li Qiang. "Yes! Not strange at all!" Li Qiang snapped a salute! Thoroughly impressed! Once this Weibo post went up, the comments below exploded immediately! "Holy crap!" "Lu Xiaobu is fighting back!" "Ahahaha! Look at this!" "So hilarious! So awesome!" "This couldnt possibly be posted by Lu Xiaobu! Im totally convinced by this talent!" "Every single line of insult could be a classic! Wow, feels like Im converting from hater to fan, so badass!" "Defeating you with rich experience? What a legendary line! Absolutely legendary!" "..." Finally, Han Meng responded directly: "Lu Xiaobu, dont go too far! Dont you have any manners? Insulting people for no reason, do you have any decency left?" "Supporting husband Han Meng!" "Such low-quality people should be completely banned!" "What kind of person is this? No wonder they would set up such evil internet armies!" Lu Xiaobus counterattack instantly intensified the conflict to the extreme! Lu Xiaobu calmly said, "Im not cursing, Im just laying out a principle and fact, teaching everyone how to communicate with people like you. I havent had contact with Han Meng, but the first time I saw this androgynous name, the word well immediately came to my mind!" Someone asked, "Well? Like a water well?" "Like the frog in the well?" someone guessed. Lu Xiaobu clarified, "Wellits just a grid of twos, like a checkerboard full of twos!" Below, a wave of laughing emojis swept the screen, "Hahaha!" Lu Xiaobu didnt stop: "Han Meng, why have you given up on treatment? Why? Heavenly Dynasty has so many weapons you could learn, but no, you choose the sword. You dont go for high sword skills but low ones, not the iron sword but the silver sword. Congratulations, today you finally achieved unity with your sword, commonly known as Sword Person!" "Even if youre really beyond saving, then why dont you take a trip to Thailand? I think youd be more comfortable there. Lying down to earn money, instead of bending over!" Han Meng exploded: "...#%##!!" "Your grandma!" "Lu Xiaobu, youre damn hurtful!" "Youre the one bending over to make money!" "Stupid pig! CNM!" Han Mengs fans were howling in anger! Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobus supporters were left dumbfounded, even the paid posters forgot to respond for a moment, just watching. It wasnt until Li Qiang reminded them that they snapped out of it. But by then, there was nothing they needed to do, because more and more spectators eager for drama were actively supporting Lu Xiaobus insults! Lu Xiaobu was on a roll: "Youre the stupid pig! Your whole family are stupid pigs! Others endorse Wild Drink to boost their masculinity, but your endorsement balances yin and yang! Oh, now I get it, no wonder you would say a throat-burning drink tastes good, turns out youre a masochist!" Netizen: "..." One after another, Lu Xiaobu typed: "If a robber came in and ordered men to the left, women to the right, youd get kicked out!" A netizen said, "What? I dont get it?" "Youre dumb, it means this person is neither male nor female!" Han Meng angrily retorted: "You must be ugly! Jealous of other peoples looks!" Lu Xiaobu, typing with a smile: "Yes, I may not be good-looking, but at least I look like a man. What about you? The star attraction at a gay bar? I bet your dividends arent small!" Seeing this type of talk again, Han Meng was nearly spitting blood, completely furious! Lu! I swear were irreconcilable enemies! "OMG! Thats too damaging! Every phrase is about being trans." "LOL! Ahahaha! So harsh! Its epic!" "Delightful! So this is how you insult someone! Lu Xiaobu, the family-ruining Young Master is invincible!" Lu Xiaobus unrepeatable yet focused insults made his Weibo followers skyrocket, leaving the paid posters out of work! With Lu Xiaobus lead, those like Xu Bin, who had been overwhelmed and unable to out-insult their opponents, suddenly turned the tide, their spirits soaring! One after another, they began to cheer for Lu Xiaobu! Xu Bin: "Let them curse my son, Young Master Bu, kill them with your words!" "Right, let these nonsense spouting, brain-dead fans ramble! Look whos stunned now?!" Han Meng continued to retort, but couldnt match Lu Xiaobu. Initially, many of Han Mengs fans joined their idol in cursing Lu Xiaobu, but Lu Xiaobus overwhelming prowess meant his own fans didnt even need to help. Lu Xiaobu stood alone against the multitude! One against a hundred! He chased off one disbeliever after another! S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Alone, he verbally vanquished hundreds, effectively silencing them. At the end, aside from some true brain-dead fans, there were virtually no other backers for Han Meng. Those who had joined in just to insult others saw this and were left gutted by Lu Xiaobus insults. After a few feeble attempts at retaliation, they knew they were no match for Lu Xiaobu, quietly disappearing to avoid further embarrassment. Only Han Meng was left still furiously fighting back! Chapter 52: A Challenge [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 52: Chapter 52: A Challenge [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu had enough and struck the final blow, "Han Meng, try talking crap again. Remember Im the prodigal, right? You think I wont ban you for the things youve just said? Making it so you cant earn a penny even if you bend over backward? You dont even have any memorable works, yet you dare talk crap." With that said... Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Han Mengs Weibo instantly went silent. He was scared! When Lu Xiaobu uttered those words, he was genuinely scared! Lu Xiaobu was right; he was just a pretty face with no substance, and now, with such vulgar speech, getting him banned would be all too easy, too easy indeed! Thus... The winner emerged! The verbal battle had ended! Netizens actively commented, nearly bursting into laughter! Magnificent Era: "Oh God! I saw a God today!" Lu Chen: "Absolute god! Absolute idol! So mighty!" Universes First Slut: "Newly registered account, please look after me. Im now a crazy fan of the prodigal, able to curse with such masterful prowess, I can only describe my current mood as worship!" Lazy: "After reading the prodigal Lu Xiaobus cursing, I realized how naive and childish I used to be. I thought I was unmatched in cursing, but today Im shocked and in awe. I gladly admit defeat. I wonder if prodigal Lu Xiaobu would take me as a disciple, I want to learn your cursing. If I can learn even a tenth, no, one percent of your true teachings, I would fear no one in this world!" "Falling apart..." "God, what did I just witness!" "This Weibo is about to hit the front page!" "What happened here? Why are the click and comment counts so high?" ... In school. Classmates also saw Lu Xiaobus pivotal cursing, and some who couldnt hold it laughed so hard they couldnt straighten their backs! "I cant believe it, its the first time Ive realized Young Master Bu has this talent." "This cursing is too harsh. It cuts deep!" "Hahaha, but, Ive already saved it. Ill use this next time I curse someone." "Han Meng is really unlucky, messing with Young Master Bu. Now hes been cursed." Li Qiang reprimanded, "What do you mean by Han Meng? Young Master Bu was just targeting that Wild Drink, Han Meng brought it upon himself." ... It seemed like things had calmed down, but in reality, the main show had just begun. "Lu! Xiaobu!" Liu Changlongs angry Weibo post appeared, "Although I tricked you once, we agreed it was a willing bet. Youre stirring up trouble now!" Seeing Liu Changlongs Weibo, Han Mengs fans thought about fighting back, but recalling Lu Xiaobus terrifying cursing skills, they ended up just silently liking the post. Lu Xiaobu: "Dont you have any brains? Do you think Im the type who has nothing better to do than curse people? Id rather sleep. Although I did enjoy cursing this time." "Fine! Ill cut the crap. You said you have a beverage launching too, right? Lets not play dirty then. Lets prove whos superior with facts!" Liu Changlong threw down a challenge! "Alright! I didnt even want to promote any beverage, but since you mentioned it, I shall accept reluctantly." Lu Xiaobu sneered. "Honestly, Ive always felt theres something wrong with your taste buds; you could probably find poo delicious! My cola will crush yours!" "Deal. Lets see the sales in three days. Our Wild Drinks fear no challenge." Liu Changlong settled it! ... Lu Xiaobu turned off his phone and continued to lie on the table, ready to sleep. "Dont you still want to sleep?" Zhou Jingyuan was going crazy on the side: "Whats the matter with you? Challenging someone after a few words, and then going to sleep right after? You arent just making things up like Liu Changlong said, using a non-existent thing to accept a challenge, right? That would be hugely embarrassing." "Relax, relax, I can easily thrash that kind of thing." Lu Xiaobu tossed the Wild Drink he had only taken one sip of into the trash can. "Just stop bluffing! Call your family right now." Zhou Jingyuan worriedly said: "Ill go look for some new foreign drinks to help you save face so you wont lose too horribly." "No need, no need," Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly. Just then, his phone rang. "Um, Xiaobu, did you actually make a challenge bet with Liu Changlong?" Lu Hongbins voice came through. "Oh, right!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Let me talk." Zhou Jingyuan snatched the phone: "Hello, are you Lu Hongbin? Im Zhou Jingyuan." "Oh... I know, I know." Lu Hongbins voice sounded a bit more courteous. "Although Lu Xiaobu has done something reckless, now that its already happening, lets not scold him," Zhou Jingyuan bluntly said: "Ive already made some contacts, there is another drink abroad, its not as good as Wild Drinks, but it still has a market share, Im trying to secure the distribution rights." "Thanks, but no need," Lu Hongbin spoke in a calm tone. "What, are you all crazy in your family!" Zhou Jingyuan exploded: "First, Lu Xiaobu unreasonably issues a challenge, and now when I offer a solution, you refuse?" "Um... actually, we can win," Lu Hongbin spoke softly. "You can win?" Zhou Jingyuan looked baffled: "Have you all lost your minds? With what can you win?" Lu Xiaobu sighed, took out a Coke he prepared for himself from his bag, and shoved it into Zhou Jingyuans slightly open cherry lips. "Gulp, gulp!" Cough cough cough Zhou Jingyuan choked and instantly burst into a fit of coughing: "Lu Xiaobu, are you trying to kill me?" However, the next second, she came around. "Huh?" Zhou Jingyuans eyebrows shot up, her face filled with surprise: "This, this is..." "My Life Essence, tastes good, right?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled. "Get lost!" Zhou Jingyuan cursed, snatching the Coke from Lu Xiaobus hand, and took two sips, her eyes shining brighter with each gulp. "Um, Miss Zhou, actually, this is what happened..." Meanwhile, Lu Hongbin was still quietly explaining. Explanations were necessary, who knew Xiaobu would get along so well with her; having her help would be a huge advantage. "No need to explain, you can win! Absolutely can win!" Zhou Jingyuan hung up the phone abruptly and hugged the Coke to one side, sipping it with a beaming smile: "Delicious, truly delicious." "Hey hey hey, I was just letting you taste it; thats my drink." Lu Xiaobu lookedhey, he was worried about this situation, but now, alas, it really happened! "Whats yours or mine?" Zhou Jingyuan rolled her eyes: "I already gave you the Wild Drink, so you might as well take this bottle too." "Who would drink that trash drink, hand it over to me or Ill get physical!" Lu Xiaobu stood up. "Come at me if you dare, afraid of you with those scrawny arms and legs?" Zhou Jingyuan scoffed. "Watch my Dragon Claw!" "Hey, you cant rob... damn it, Lu Xiaobu, where the hell are you grabbing?" "I told you, this is the Milking Dragon Claw, so soft!" "Scram!" Chapter 53: A Spark of Starlight [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 53: Chapter 53: A Spark of Starlight [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Liu Family. Liu Changlongs father, who is also the richest man in Shimen, Liu He, was sitting on the sofa watching Liu Changlong. "Changlong, it was your insistence that I allowed you to fully control the Wild Drinks project, but explain to me, why did you go out of your way to provoke Lu Xiaobu?" Liu He asked with interlaced fingers, staring at Liu Changlong. "Father, this is not going out of my way, just a little trick," Liu Changlong spoke leisurely. "That fool Lu Xiaobu was first tricked by me out of 1.82 million, boosting our liquidity." "Although Lu Xiaobus sudden outburst caught me off guard, because I was prepared, it not only prevented us from suffering losses." "It even helped us use the recent popularity of Lu Xiaobu on Weibo to maximize the exposure of our Wild Drink, which is much more effective than just our own advertising." Hearing Liu Changlongs confident words, Liu He nodded. "Your mind is quite clear, remember, business is like a battlefield, bringing personal grievances into it could doom you. But you did well this time." "Thank you for the compliment, father," Liu Changlong continued, "With this, the Lu Family will surely become a stepping stone for the Liu Family." ... Beijing time, exactly 10 oclock. After a huge buildup, Wild Drink, which had swept the internet, was finally launched. Every large, medium, and small supermarket placed Wild Drink in the most conspicuous place. Once Wild Drink went on sale, it immediately caused a scramble among people. "Give me a bottle of Wild." "Ill take a case." "Is this Wild Drink really that good?" "Nonsense, could anything endorsed by my husband be wrong?" "..." At a supermarket. "Boss, Wild..." "Sorry, its sold out; Im on the phone reordering." "How the hell is it all sold out! Dont you know to stock more? Ive been to three supermarkets and cant find a single bottle." "Sorry, sorry." The boss could only smile wrylyafter all, who knew the drink would become such a hit. Now the Liu Familys phone was almost blown up with calls to stock up. Stock up, sell, stock up, sell... Trucks full of drinks left the Liu Family factory and returned empty. And that money flowed into the pockets of the Liu Family like water. Liu Changlong, witnessing the huge success of the marketing, let out a hearty laugh and once again mocked Lu Xiaobu: "In just this one hour, our sales have already hit one million, wonder where your drink is?" Lu Xiaobu: "Idiot!" Liu Changlong: "You cursing?" Lu Xiaobu: "Did I curse? Do you want me to teach you what cursing is right now?" Liu Changlong angrily replied, not daring to get into a verbal fight with Lu Xiaobu: "I wont compete in verbal skills with you, lets wait and see!" Lu Xiaobu: "Get lost, Im not riding with you! Dont be so bloody clingy!" Liu Changlong, infuriated, smashed his phone and yelled: "Lu Xiaobu, wait three days, in three days, Ill have you kneeling before me!" Liang Lan called. "Young Master, the first batch of cola has been canned, shall we start selling?" Liang Lan asked. "Sell it, damn him," Lu Xiaobu nodded. "How much should we price it?" "How much is that garbage Wild priced?" "Five yuan." "Alright, lets also price it at five yuan each. So no one says were bullying anyone." "Okay, Young Master!" After hanging up the phone, Liang Lans eyes ignited with fierce determinationthis must be done brilliantly! Soon, Lu Xiaobus cola was also on the shelves, delivered to major supermarkets. These supermarket owners, trying to avoid offending either side, took some cola, but only in small amounts and placed them in inconspicuous corners. Obviously, the profitable Wild Drinks are given the prime spots. That whatever-its-called cola, dark and unattractive in appearance. In a supermarket. "Boss, hurry up and unload, I still need to make two more runs," the Liu Family truck driver shouted. "Alright, alright," the boss happily responded. When seeing cola being unloaded, he instructed the workers: "Stop here, dont rush. Go unload the Wild Drinks first, quick!" "Hey, what do you mean by this?" The cola truck driver, annoyed, "Isnt our product also a product? Isnt there a first-come, first-served?" "Done with the chatter, eh?" mocked the Wild Drinks truck driver, patting his truck. "Can you compare with us, Wild Drinks? We are here to bring money to boss, you are here to cause losses for him. Hes being nice by not kicking you out." "You! You just wait!" The cola truck driver, furious but helpless. Eventually, cola was unloaded very slowly after the Wild Drinks truck had made two more trips, casually being tossed aside, clearly not valued. "Boss, give me a drink, heard that Wild Drinks are really popular, give me one." A spirited young man, Li Lei, entered the supermarket and spoke to the boss. "Here you go," the boss, grinning, accepted the money and handed over the drink. "Whats that?" Li Lei had just taken a sip when he noticed the dark cola placed aside. "Its another drink called cola, from that Lu Xiaobu who just battled Wild Drinks online," the boss explained. "Oh? Interesting, give me one of those too, I want to compare," Li Lei looked intrigued. A customer who had just arrived overheard Li Lei and impatiently said, "Can you hurry up? Im waiting to pay. That cola stuff looks like traditional medicine, can it taste good? Just hurry up and go. I need to buy Wild Drinks." "Hey, whats with the language?" Li Lei, known for his temper, stood his ground: "Im spending my money, is it any of your business? Boss, give it to me." "Here, here, here." The boss, fearing a fight, quickly handed Li Lei a bottle of iced cola. Psssh Upon opening the cola bottle, a rush of gas escaped with a sound. First off, good or bad, that sound alone gave a strange sense of release. Li Lei cautiously took a sip. Result Glug, glug! He couldnt stop. The cold, unique taste of the cola stimulated his taste buds and refreshed his tired body, making him feel revitalized. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Li Lei put down the cola, exclaiming excitedly, "This is what a real drink is. Refreshing!" "Ha, you must be a plant! Acting so pro, must be hard on you." The person behind him started complaining again, "That junk cant taste good, impossible!" "Not tasty? Hey, with my temper! Then keep drinking your Wild Drinks!" Li Lei put the cola aside and grabbed the man by the neck, forcing the Wild Drinks bottle to his mouth. GlugCough, cough, cough! The man choked and coughed, lying on the ground. "Kid, tastes good, doesnt it?" Li Lei sneered at the man on the ground, tossed away the Wild Drinks and told the boss, "Give me ten, no, ten cases of cola, better stock up now, because they might be gone soon. Really dont know how the heck Lu Xiaobu came up with such a delicious drink!" Chapter 54: Blazing Wildfire [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Blazing Wildfire [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]As Li Lei moved away with ten cases of cola, the remaining frenzied buyers also began to feel puzzled. "Not really, ten cases? How long is it gonna take to drink all that? Could it be a shill?" "Never mind if its a shill or not, even if it tastes great, you cant just drink it every single day." "No more daily drinking. As crazy as it is, and as good as it tastes, one bottle fills me up. If my girlfriend hadnt insisted on buying more, I honestly would have lost interest." "Should we also try a bottle? Its only five bucks, not much money after all." "..." Many, tempted to give it a try, bought a bottle of cola. Hiss "Glug, glug!" "Ha, refreshing! Hey boss, can I get ten more bottles? This stuff is divine, looks so dark yet not a bit greasy, quite refreshing actually." Hiss "Glug, glug!" "Cough cough, damn, got a bit choked, but its really freaking tasty. Two more bottles, please. I want my girlfriend to try it." Hiss "Glug, glug! Right!" "Wow, so exhilarating, my bodys shaking! This thing is kinda addictive!" "..." Everyone who ventured as the first crab-eater received the deserved exhilaration from the cola. Watching the expressions of sheer exhilaration on peoples faces, more and more joined the ranks of the taste testers! And everyone who finished their drink, had the same look on their facesan elated triumph! So Originally not well-received, thought by many to be a beverage hyped up by Lu Xiaobu, this cola started its wild sweep through the market from this family-owned supermarket. A single spark can start a prairie fire! Slowly, the situation began to change. People coming to the supermarket werent just there for the craze. In other supermarkets, bosses would often see some sneakily buying cola. Despite the disdain and ridicule from others, they turned a blind eye, or even responded with even more disdain, then ran out carrying cases of cola. Obviously, not everyone was fooled. Slowly, people began to notice what was going on. "Holy shit! This cola is that tasty?" "Ahh, its so much better than the craze, a thousand times better!" "Boss, forget the craze, give me cola!" "..." In an instant, the situation changed. The craze was no longer, while the cola began to conquer! The calls that were previously directed to the Liu Family, now reached the Lu Family. Like before, it was about stocking up, stocking up, frenzied stocking up. But this time, the hot-selling product turned out to be Lu Familys cola. Due to the Lu Family owning just one factory, the good-tasting, non-greasy cola was totally in short supply. Major distributors, restaurants, and supermarkets were all scrambling for those few orders! The risk sentiment on the internet began to undergo a huge shift. "What the fuck is this craze, so damn nasty. Im a die-hard fan of cola now!" "Cola cola, I want cola." "Han Meng darling, dont worry, I still support you. Im definitely going to buy the craze tomorrow." "..." Liu Changlong turned green with rage: "What the hell is going on? Why is this happening?" Lu Xiaobu tweeted with a snicker: "Hey, idiot, how about that? Havent lasted long, have you? Told you I didnt want to ride you! Face hurting?" Liu Changlong cursed furiously: "Lu Xiaobu! Its not over yet, dont get cocky!" Xiaobu: "Whether I make it to the end or not, I dont want to ride you!" Liu Changlong spat out blood in frustration: "Hurry up and tell Han Meng to ramp up the advertisement. Is this idol just mooching off us?" Han Meng quickly started calling on fans, but it was already too late to turn things around! ... Theres a supermarket, yes, thats right, a supermarket. The cola delivery driver came back again, and coincidentally, it was the same person from before, and whats more, he ran into that same fervent delivery driver from before. "Oh hey, we meet again? Isnt this the cocky hotshot from Fervent Beverages? What are you waiting at the entrance for?" The cola driver, seeing the one who mocked him before, laughed: "None of your business!" The fervent driver was grinding his teeth in anger. He never would have imagined such a drastic turnaround could happen in such short time! "Come on, young man, have a smoke." The supermarket owner quickly offered the cola driver a cigarette. "Whats this for? I cant afford the responsibility. Unload the Fervent goods first, then come to ours. After all, nobody wants our stuff. Our Lu Family drivers are very professional, we respect the first-come-first-serve principle." The cola driver scoffed, disregarding the comment. "Dont be like that! Have a smoke, have a smoke! How can you say nobody wants your stuff? I made a mistake earlier, I apologize to you." The supermarket owner eagerly tried to make amends. "Alright! Remember this, Young Master Bu is number one in the worldnot just empty talk. Dont be like some people, blustering and bragging without accomplishing anything!" The cola driver took the cigarette and lit it up, speaking haughtily. "Of course, of course, I love Young Master Bu, Ive even memorized the slogan. Let me recite it! Young Master Bu, for generations unending, reigns supreme over Jianghu! Did I get it right?" The supermarket owner nodded quickly. "Not bad, start unloading." The cola driver nodded in satisfaction, finally permitting them to unload. "Quick, quick, quick, start unloading." The owner, wiping cold sweat off his forehead, quickly started unloading. "Hey, boss, are you being too much? Were not finished unloading here!" The Fervent driver exploded in anger. "Get out of the way." The boss was also furiouscutting off someones livelihood was like killing their parents. Right now, there was no room for niceties. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... Lu Family father and son, along with Liang Lan, were strictly controlling the quality and formula in the factory. The four of them looked as happy as could be. "Liang Lan, how many orders do we have now?" Lus fathers face was blooming with smiles from the laughter. "Weve got shipments for 1.2 million, and there are still seven... no, eight million unshipped." Liang Lan said with a chuckle as she looked at the records. "Do you guys think which fairy goddess has taken a shine to Xiaobu? How else could he have gotten his hands on such a cola formula? Wed be making seventy or eighty million this year, right?" Lu Hongbin laughed heartily. He was no longer the pillar of the household; Xiaobu was now. He just needed to handle the business side of things well. For instance, many restaurants and supermarkets accepted the cola initially because of the face he gave them. "Little Master Bu is truly magical. Ive always felt that Young Master Bu is not only smart but also has great wisdomthe kind that is profound in silence and simplicity, grand in its stealth, and seemingly foolish." Liang Lans eyes were shining with admiration. Even the Great Tian Jilan has someone she admires now. "Great wisdom? That brat is only good for squandering our familys money." Lu Wenhao rolled his eyes sarcastically, yet his eyes were filled with endless indulgence and pride. In the past, the pride of the Lu family was the two brothers, but now Xiaobu was their pride. Squandering money and still managing to earn itspreading such a story would shock everyone! "Oh, I almost forgot." Liang Lan suddenly slapped her forehead and hurriedly said: "I havent folded Young Master Bus quilt today; I must rush to do it. Otherwise, the Young Master will be unhappy. Uncle Lu, Big Brother Lu, Ill leave the rest to you." With that, Liang Lan hurriedly left. "This..." The Lu father and son were dumbfounded! Err... What are we supposed to say? Chapter 55 Genius or Idiot [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Genius or Idiot [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]As Liu Changlong was fuming and jumping with anger, and Han Mengs fans felt embarrassed, an article titled "The Wisdom of a Prodigal Son, Who Is Really the Prodigal Son?" exploded all over the internet. The article detailed the events that had occurred today, deeply analyzed these seemingly coincidental events, and reached an astonishing conclusionLu Xiaobu was not some brainless spendthrift, but a genius! Once the article was published, within just a few hours, it caught the widespread attention of the public and even that of seasoned economists and planning experts. After a whirlwind emergency meeting to discuss... Finally, a TV show called "Genius or Idiot" was launched on the television entertainment channel, broadcast live. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Before the live broadcast, the TV station reported a shocking viewership rate of 3.26 percent, completely blowing the currently popular prime time TV drama "Flowers Bloom" out of the water. Host: "I believe everyone is already aware of the bet about the new beverage between the prodigal son Lu Xiaobu and Liu Changlong, so I wont go into details here." "Although the deadline set by both parties was three days, I believe everyone has already seen who the winner and loser are." "Moreover, I believe that most people, like me, think that Lu Xiaobu won purely by luck." "However, today someone suggested a different view, thinking all this was planned by Lu Xiaobu. But is it true or false?" "We have invited a renowned expert in economic planning, a professor from Imperial UniversityMr. Tao Aijunto answer this for us." Professor Tao Aijun, with thinning hair and a scholarly demeanor: "Hello everyone, I am Tao Aijun. Today I will explain to everyone the brilliant marketing plan crafted by Lu Xiaobu." Host: "It seems that Professor Tao Aijun holds Lu Xiaobu in high regard, even using the term stroke of genius?" Tao Aijun: "Because he deserves this term. Host, if you were launching a new product, how would you market it?" Host: "Although Im unclear about the specifics, generally it involves hiring spokespeople, scaling up promotions, and creating a momentum." Tao Aijun: "Correct, the agents of Wild Drinks, the Liu Family, did just that, even hiring the hottest idol right nowHan Meng, at a staggering endorsement fee of eighty million!" Host: "What?! That high? No wonder Han Meng promoted it so tirelessly, making such a huge impact." Tao Aijun: "Yes, a huge impact. There were even talks that Wild Drinks would change the beverage market in Heavenly Dynasty, but!" Host: "But?" Tao Aijun: "But, Lu Xiaobu managed to rope Han Meng into his scheme for barely any cost at all." Host: "Scheme? Interesting choice of words." Tao Aijun: "Correct, a scheme. The Liu Family took the high road, spending money on endorsements and promotions." "But Lu Xiaobu managed to silence Han Meng with just his tongue, effectively tying Wild Drinks and Han Meng to his own cola." "Thus leading everyone to associate Wild Drinks inevitably with Han Meng, and thinking of Han Meng naturally leads to Lu Xiaobu and to cola. If this isnt a scheme, what is?" Host: "So youre saying, the Liu Family spent eighty million creating a huge buzz, only for Lu Xiaobu to easily hijack it?" Tao Aijun: "Exactly! This is the brilliance of the plan, the cruelest partgetting something for nothing! Therefore, this so-called bet, from the very beginning, the Liu Family was already in the hole by forty million, doomed to lose!" Host: "Analyzing it this way, Lu Xiaobu seems quite terrifying, even the great Liu Family and the nations sweetheart, just playthings in his palm?!" Tao Aijun: "And thats not all, the simplest point, as far as I know, Lu Xiaobu did not have a beverage factory until today, meaning if he hadnt acquired the current factory, his entire plan would be nothing." "But coincidentally, just as Wild Drinks hit the shelves, Lu Xiaobu acquired a factory, and the original owner of the factory was the Liu Family!" Host: "Shh! What? The Liu Familys factory? So youre saying, the Liu Family gave Lu Xiaobu the very props needed to beat them?" Tao Aijun: "Exactly! This is the most terrifying part, knowing that Wild Drinks were about to be launched, why would the Liu Family willingly give Lu Xiaobu a factory? Isnt this aiding the enemy? Even I havent figured this one out." Host: "No worries, weve got the phone number of Liu Changlong, the person responsible for Wild Drinks. Lets connect him right now." As soon as the call connected, Liu Changlongs roaring, filled with boundless anger, transmitted: "Fuck your shitty show, who the hell said I lost? When did Lu Xiaobu ever play me like a fiddle? Fuck this, and you ask why I aid the enemy, I aid your grandmother..." On the phone, Liu Changlong cursed while kicking the screen in front of him. The screen shattered with a loud "bang"! He was furious. What the hell kind of show was this? Ding The host hung up the phone: "Ahem, it seems Mr. Liu is in a bad mood. Well ask him again later. Tao Aijun: "As a loser, its understandable to have a temper." Seeing this, Liu Changlong smashed another new TV: "Youre the loser!" The host continued: "Lets connect with Lu Xiaobu! As a winner, he should be able to explain the reason to us." Beep The call connected. Host: "Hello, this is Shimen Entertainment Channel, I am the host Li Bing. May I speak to Mr. Lu?" On the other end, Lu Xiaobu answered the phone: "Yes, its me. Whats up?" Host: "Great, our Genius or Idiot show is currently live, and as the winner of this drink contest, we hope you can share a few words and clarify some of our confusion." Lu Xiaobu: "This is a live broadcast?" Host: "Yes." Lu Xiaobu: "So, everyone watching TV can hear me speak, right?" Host: "Yes." Lu Xiaobu: "Please turn my call volume to the maximum, I have something important to announce." The host looked at the director. The director nodded. Host: "Mr. Lu, I have maximized your call volume now." "Oh." Lu Xiaobu nodded, then suddenly yelled loudly: "You idiots, naming your show Genius or Idiot?, do you think I would answer your questions? Damned idiots! Bloody fools! Get lost!" Ding The sound of hanging up came. The entire live broadcast scene was dumbfounded, incredibly awkward. Everyone following this live broadcast heard Lu Xiaobus cursing loud and clear. The entire live broadcast turned into a giant joke. What economists? What university professors? What live broadcast? Interviewing Liu Changlong and getting cursed at, you call him a loser with a temper, thats one thing. But now interviewing the winner Lu Xiaobu, and still getting cursed at. Chapter 56 You Owe Me a Move of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms [Please Collect, Please Recommend] Chapter 56: Chapter 56 You Owe Me a Move of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms [Please Collect, Please Recommend]After such a fuss broadcasted live on TV, Lu Xiaobu, the notorious squanderer, has become a household name. The online post about "the wisdom of the squanderer" has already been deleted. Even the author feels embarrassed, what wisdom of a squanderer? If Lu Xiaobu really had any wisdom, would he let go of such a chance to become famous? "Gone, gone, Lu Xiaobu is absolutely a squanderer. Totally." "I must be sick, actually believing Lu Xiaobu is a genius?" "..." Not just the netizens, even Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin harbored doubts. For Wu Qianmin, it was somewhat okay; in her heart, Lu Xiaobu was just a naive squanderer. But it was different for Liang Lan. While Wu Qianmin and the insistent Zhou Jingyuan werent paying attention... She expressed her doubt: "Young Master, why..." "Want to know?" Lu Xiaobu smiled. "Yes!" Liang Lan seriously said, shes never been this serious even in school. "If I am no longer a squanderer, who would let me squander?" Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and smiled. "This..." Liang Lan looking at that seemingly heartless smile. Yet felt a kind of exceedingly wise glow emanating. This statement on the surface, seems like a squanderers squandering declaration. But upon deeper thought, its quite terrifying. What does this identity of a squanderer bring to Young Master? It brings others disdain, mockery, and contempt. However, isnt this also a massive trap Young Master set for them? Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger! However, the biggest problem with this approach is, if this pig isnt strong enough, it might really get swallowed by the tiger in one go. "I know what you are thinking." Lu Xiaobu smiled slightly, "This pig of mine, can even swallow a dragon whole, want to join me in tasting dragon liver and phoenix gall?" He is not fighting alone, he has the system behind him, as well as experiences and insights from his past life on Earth. Lose? Thats out of the question. Its just, hes rather lazy. Its the same for you all, if you were wealthy and had people, would you bother troubling your mind over so many things? Bored out of your wits?

Liang Lans smile bloomed, like a flourishing rose. Gorgeous and aggressively captivating. Her eyes revealing fervent admiration, watching this not-so-tall mans silhouette. From this moment, this would be her lifelong goal to pursue. This Tian Jilan, a prominent figure in the business world, finally wholeheartedly admires Lu Xiaobu, this squanderer. "Yeah, no problem." Lu Xiaobu chuckled, then suddenly hugged Liang Lans tender and bouncy black silk legs, "Gonna touch the vase first, wow, so bouncy!" "Young Master!" Liang Lan stomped her feet in anger, its been less than a minute of seriousness, and he starts being a rogue again! "Cough cough cough, lets go, lets go check out the bar." Lu Xiaobu grinned. ... Arriving at the Drunken Love Bar. There were already people waiting here, as soon as they saw Lu Xiaobu. "Young Master Bu, eternal generations, unify Jianghu." A unified shout suddenly arose. They finally understood, if they wanted to have fun, they had to make Lu Xiaobu happy. "Wow ka ka, thats comfortable, open the door." Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily and opened the bar door. At this time, those who came here were regulars, they didnt need Lu Xiaobu to organize anything, they changed clothes, ordered drinks, and started having fun on their own. While at that time, the most enthusiastic player from yesterdaythe fat guy Lu Hao suddenly came over respectfully: "Young Master Xiaobu, hello." "Hey fatty, whats up?" Lu Xiaobu smiled and said, "You had fun yesterday, and I enjoyed watching. Lets continue today, your drinks are on me." "Thank you, Young Master Xiaobu." Lu Hao quickly expressed his gratitude, then said embarrassingly, "I have an overbold request and I hope Young Master can agree to it." "What is it?" "Today, I brought a few classmates with me..." Lu Hao pointed to the side. Lu Xiaobu looked over and immediately noticed a few young people slightly older than him, both men and women. But their faces all showed an unmistakable anxiety, as if they were worried about something. "Oh, all of their drinks are on the house too," Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly. "That, that, Young Master Xiaobu, its not about that. We can afford our drinks, but still, thank you, Young Master Xiaobu." Lu Hao quickly gestured with his hands, "We are all from the drama academy, we are a team and have always wanted to create our own work, so Id like to ask presumptuously if we could be allowed to shoot here?" Lu Haos face was filled with immense hope, he, being astute, didnt even mention matters like location fees. Because he knew that bringing up money would be an affront to Young Master Xiaobu. "Oh?" Lu Xiaobus eyebrows raised slightly, somewhat excited, "I say, you really know how to have fun. Go ahead and shoot, but it better be fun; I wont be happy otherwise." "Of course, I guarantee it." Lu Hao was overjoyed, "And Young Master Xiaobu, you have veto power. If youre not satisfied, we will reshoot immediately!" Lu Hao leaped up and rushed over to his classmates, jumping and shouting, "Young Master Xiaobu agreed, he agreed!" "Really? Hahaha." The group was also jumping and shouting. But they didnt forget to bow to Lu Xiaobu in thanks, very polite: "Thank you, Young Master Xiaobu, thank you, Young Master Xiaobu." These university students, not only were polite to Lu Xiaobu. They even remembered to apologize to the other pub patrons for disturbing their drinking mood. Patrons wouldnt mind it. Yesterdays Lu Hao had already been a great fun to them. Now hearing that it was Lu Haos team, Everyone was not only not annoyed, but they were as excited as Lu Xiaobu. They were all guessing what fun things this fat guy would come up with and were also horsing around. "Hey, fatty, I received your Bone Melting Palm yesterday, wont you give me a role?" "Thats right, fatty, you still owe me Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms." "Make sure to show it to us after shooting, its our joint effort after all." "..." "Alright, alright." Lu Hao, like a Maitreya Buddha, responded with big smiles to everyone. The shooting officially began. And really, although all students, their serious commitment was quite admirable. And the script was meticulously crafted; even the picky Lu Xiaobu couldnt fault it. But the equipment was somewhat lacking; they were actually using mobile phones for filming. Patrons were also shouting approvals during their breaks. "Fatty, you guys are good. The script is hilarious." "Forget the script for a moment, just the professionalism alone beats those popular pretty boys by miles, especially compared to that Han Meng scolded by Young Master Xiaobu, a million times better!" "Its just the equipment thats somewhat inferior - how can just a mobile phone suffice?" "Why dont we pool some money for Lu Hao to buy a camera? After all, this also counts as entertainment for us. Wed tip for music and dance in other bars, right?" "Yeah, I think thats a good idea." "..." "Hey hey hey, you guys, you meant for me to hear that, right?" Lu Xiaobu looked at the patrons and joked, "If you guys handle this, where would I put my face..." Before Lu Xiaobu could finish, a large group of people carrying equipment entered through the door. The patrons cheered. "Still, Young Master Xiaobu is wise, already prepared." "Young Master Xiaobu is awesome!" "..." "Young Master Xiaobu, this..." Lu Hao looked at the brand-new equipment, very embarrassed. However, Lu Xiaobu looked at the equipment, completely bewildered: "Who bought this equipment?" Chapter 57 Who Told You to Be Trustworthy? [Please bookmark, please recommend] Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Who Told You to Be Trustworthy? [Please bookmark, please recommend]Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a middle-aged man dressed in directors attire came in behind the equipment, looking left and right inside the pub and showing an expression of utter delight: "This is just perfect." "Who are you?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Oh, that, I was so absorbed in checking out the scene..." The director slapped his forehead, hurried over and handed out a business card: "You must be Young Master Bu, Im Chen Feiyang, a director." Lu Xiaobu took the business card and glanced at it, without any recognition. But Lu Hao and their small team suddenly jumped up, with the look of seeing an idol. "Director Chen Feiyang?" Lu Hao, the chubby one, said ecstatically, "Its really Director Chen Feiyang!" "Hello." Chen Feiyang was very approachable, extending his hand to Lu Hao and shaking it. "Director Chen Feiyang, Im a loyal fan of yours! I didnt expect to meet you here. And I even got to shake your hand!" Lu Hao exclaimed joyfully. "Hes famous?" Lu Xiaobu asked Lu Hao. "Director Chen Feiyang, Young Master Bu, you dont know?" Lu Hao said in shock: "Have you seen Time Flies, the film that won the Best Director at the Golden Rooster Awards? Thats Director Chen Feiyangs work. He is famous for his meticulous attention to detail; every film he directs is a masterpiece!" The other patrons in the pub also became excited. "So its that Chen Feiyang!" "My goodness, finally seeing him in person." "I watched Time Flies several times back then." "Director Chen Feiyang, could I have your autograph?" "..." Chen Feiyang, without a hint of pretense, responded to everyone one by one. "Oh..." Lu Xiaobu nodded in realization. Lu Hao nodded satisfactorily, thinking that Young Master Bu finally remembered. "I havent seen it." Lu Xiaobu added the latter part of his sentence. "Im floored!" Lu Hao fell over. You havent seen it, and still oh? Wu Qianmin was completely devastated. Lu Xiaobu, even if you really havent watched it, after hearing the patrons explanations, you should have at least shown courtesy. How can you be so blunt? The man is right in front of you. Lu Xiaobu: "Anyway, thats not important. What are you here for?" Hearing this straightforward comment, Chen Feiyang could only give a wry smile, but without any hard feelings, he continued: "Young Master Bu, I saw photos of your pub online yesterday and thought it would be perfect for my new movies scene, so I would like to rent your pub. I know the bar business is booming, and I can offer a location fee of 200,000 yuan." Hearing Chen Feiyangs offer, everyone was startled. 200,000 yuan, this wasnt just about 20,000 yuan. From this, it was clear that it wasnt just about shooting a small scene, but a large scale one. And most importantly, this is Director Chen Feiyang were talking about. Does he usually need to pay to rent someones place? Once the movie is released, Night Drunk Love Pub could just lie back and make money. While the patrons were all shocked and felt honored. "Oh, Im not interested." Lu Xiaobu waved his hands. "Why not?!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, not only was Chen Feiyang stunned, but so were all the surrounding patrons. "Lu Xiaobu, do you have a hole in your brain?" Zhou Jingyuan on the side was furious: "Other people would dream of such good fortune being handed to them for free, and here Director Chen Feiyang is offering you 200,000 yuan, yet you refuse?" Wu Qianmin also quietly persuaded: "Xiaobu, this is a good opportunity." Even Liang Lan couldnt understand why this time. Her brain racing, she tried to guess Young Master Bus deeper intentions. Something about casting a long line to catch a big fish. What a tease! All sorts of possibilities flashed through her mind, but she dismissed each one of them. None of the plans seemed suitable. Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said, "I already lent it to Fatty, one must keep ones word." "Thud!" Fatty sat down on the ground, feeling like crying without tears: "Young Master, I didnt ask you to keep your word! I dont mind! What are you doing?" Everyone collapsed. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. So this was what you were up to all this time? Zhou Jingyuan felt like dyingLu Xiaobu, what are you thinking? Liang Lan helplesslySo there was no deep meaning this time! Young Master, if you do this a few more times, Ill go crazy. Wu Qianmin silently walked aside with her Coke and bit the straw furiously. Chen Feiyang stared at Fatty as a million words raced through his mind, but in the end, all collapsed into one phraseDamn it! He thought Fatty was his fan, only to realize hes his rival! "Lu Hao, right." Chen Feiyang looked at Fatty. "Could you not..." "Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Hao frantically nodded before Chen Feiyang could finish speaking. "Young Master Xiaobu, how about this time?" Chen Feiyang asked Lu Xiaobu with a wry smile. "Yeah, Xiaobu, surely its okay this time?" Zhou Jingyuan also chimed in persuasively. "Its still not okay." Lu Xiaobu shook his head again: "Fattys movie, I do have a veto right, if you make a lousy movie, wouldnt I be embarrassed?" "That..." Everyones mouth twitched. A director who won the Best Director Award making a lousy movie? Is that like doubting whether the car wheels are round? "I... this... you..." Chen Feiyang was completely at a loss for words, looking at the unique bar fitting for his script, he finally gritted his teeth: "How about this! I trust Young Master Xiaobu, Ill show you the script, how about that?" The people around were shocked again. Showing the script to an outsider? How could that be possible? Everyone knows that Director Chen Feiyangs protection of his scripts is unparalleled in the country. Especially Lu Hao from the Drama Academy, who was utterly shocked. Did he hear it wrong, Director Chen Feiyang was actually going to show the script to Lu Xiaobu? He had heard that even actors wouldnt know the complete script until the very end. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment, and finally reluctantly agreed. "Shall we find a quiet place?" Chen Feiyang asked. "Sure." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Dismissing everyone, they moved to a private room. "Young Master Xiaobu, please." Chen Feiyang took out the heavily sealed script from the package he carried, solemnly retrieving it. Only he knew how difficult it was for him to decide to show the script to an outsider. But he couldnt bear to have flaws in his movie. After all, aside from Lu Xiaobus bar, there was no other place that suited his script. And he absolutely believed that his script would definitely conquer this Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu casually took the script: "Time and Space Love? The name itself screams flop." "Pfft!" A confident Chen Feiyang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Chapter 58 A Bad Movie is a Bad Movie [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 58: Chapter 58 A Bad Movie is a Bad Movie [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]A lousy movie?! Just by the name, you can tell its a lousy movie?! When Lu Xiaobus words were uttered, Liang Lan, Wu Qianmin, and Chen Feiyang were all baffled! They could never have imagined that Lu Xiaobus comment would be so direct, so... shallow! Inside, Chen Feiyang burned with anger, suddenly feeling an urge to fight: "Why do you say my movie is bad? Just because of its name?" Hes like that, you can outright insult him and itll be fine. But if you say his movie is bad, he cant hold back his rage. However, hes a gracious person, but his screenwriters temper is not that kind. "Lu Xiaobu, what gives you the right to call Director Chens movie a lousy film? Director Chen won the Golden Rooster Award before you were even born! You, who only know how to spend money and not make it, really are a waste of space!" The screenwriter was furious and quite impolite. He thought Lu Xiaobu was just a good-for-nothing trying to gain popularity with gimmicks! "What did you say?! Apologize to Young Master Bu!" Zhang Meng instantly sprang into action, his eyes ablaze with killing intent, staring down the screenwriter. He doesnt understand movies, nor whether the Young Masters comments are correct. But even if the Young Master is wrong, its not someone elses place to insult him! "Oh? Want to use violence to intimidate? Scum will be scum, want me to apologize? Then you have to kill me!" This screenwriter, indeed picked by Chen Feiyang, had a strong backbone! "Lu Xiaobu, if were not on the same page after half a sentence, then I should just leave. This scene isnt necessary, is it? Give me back my script." Chen Feiyang stood up as well, his face full of anger, even changing the way he addressed him. He realized he had misjudged. Before, he thought that although Lu Xiaobu was a bit of a spendthrift. But being able to selflessly save others and create such a perfect tavern, he seemed like a person with taste and a kind heart. But now... Lu Xiaobu, however, seemed as if he hadnt heard what Chen Feiyang said, continued to read through the script, frowning as he muttered: "Clich, rubbish, lousy film." Hearing Lu Xiaobus increasingly excessive remarks, Chen Feiyangs anger reached its peak, and he reached out to grab the script. "Stop right there!" Zhang Meng immediately blocked him. "What? Am I wrong for taking my script? Want to break my legs?" Chen Feiyang, seething, stared down Zhang Meng. The atmosphere was extremely tense! Zhang Meng kept silent. Although he could not let this Chen Feiyang disturb the Young Master, he also couldnt lay a hand on someone who did nothing wrong. After all, it was the Young Master who spoke out first. "Young Master..." Liang Lan whispered in an attempt to persuade him. She didnt want to see Xiaobu, the Young Master, getting in trouble over such a thing with a well-known director. And to be honest, the Young Masters way of judging was indeed too rash. "Fine, fine, here you go. I really dont know how a well-known director like you ended up making these clich romance films about a man dying, the woman living, the woman living, the man dying." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and handed the script to Chen Feiyang. "Hmph! Youre not qualified to say that!" Chen Feiyang snorted coldly and took the script, turning to leave. "Sister Lan, call Fatty and the others in, after seeing that lousy script, I feel anxious inside. Tell them, Ill give them a script, Ill invest, have them make a movie for me." Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan. "Okay, Young Master." Liang Lan went out. "Director Chen, would you be interested in looking at my script?" Lu Xiaobu, seemingly preoccupied, played with his phone while speaking. He searched up Stephen Chows name on his phone and, realizing that there was no such extraordinary person in this world, he felt relieved. Alright, its time to boldly plagiarize! Dont blame me, Stephen! Chen Feiyang stopped in his tracks upon hearing this: "Fine, let me see what kind of good script you can come up with." There was a knot of frustration in his heart. No one had ever told him to his face that his movie was lousy. Although he was not the sort to seek revenge for slights, he wanted to see what kind of quality script Lu Xiaobu could produce. Lets see if this person is even qualified to call his film a piece of trash. "Sure." Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly. The fatty had heard the noise inside early on, and as soon as Lu Xiaobu called him, he immediately rushed in. "Young Master Bu, Director Chen." Lu Hao greeted them incessantly. "Hmph!" And Chen Feiyang, who was amiable to him before, now had no patience. He thought the fatty was Lu Xiaobus man. "Come come come, fatty, Ive got a romance screenplay for you, give it a good shoot," Lu Xiaobu said. "Young Master Bu, this..." The fatty was somewhat embarrassed, discussing these things in front of Director Chen Feiyang, it felt somewhat awkward! "Are you shooting it or not?" Lu Xiaobu became impatient. "Shooting! I guarantee itll look beautiful!" sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The fatty clenched his teeth and stamped his foot, whatever. "The name of this script is A Chinese Odyssey," Lu Xiaobu said. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the screenwriter scoffed: "So youre calling our movie trash. According to your logic, is it appropriate for a love story to be called A Chinese Odyssey? Really clueless!" Lu Xiaobu heard the screenwriters words, but had no response. Instead, he began to tell the unforgettable story slowly: "This is a story about time travel, crossing tribulation, and reincarnation..." A Chinese Odyssey was one of his favorite movies in his previous life. He watched it dozens of times, remembering every single detail clearly. This movie. Its funny, its absurd. But at the same time. Its cruel, and its profound. This is a film common people cant understand in one viewing. The first time, you laugh. The second time, you cry. The third time, youre silent. And its only then that you might understand this movie. With Lu Xiaobus vivid storytelling and the fluctuations in emotion in his performance, the film slowly unfolded before everyone. In his description. A Supreme Treasure, constantly mocked by fate, appeared before everyone. Supreme Treasure turned down Zixia, thinking he was still in love with Jingjing. Seeing Jingjing, he realized that Zixia was his true love. In the end, when he finally understood, the choice was so cruel! To defeat the Bull Demon King and save Zixia, he had to wear the Headband and become the powerful Sun Wukong again. And wearing the Headband meant no romantic desires, only to forsake Zixia and go on the pilgrimage. For a moment, this small private room suddenly portrayed all facets of life. The naive Wu Qianmin couldnt contain his amusement: "Thats hilarious, Xiaobu, your film is too funny, how did you come up with it? Using your foot there. And Its a bit burnt, still usable? What kind of lines are these!" But Liang Lan, weathered by lifes hard experiences, had eyes red with tears. What came to her mind were Zixias desperate words before her death. My love is supposed to be a hero of unparalleled might. One day, hell come to marry me on clouds of seven colors. I guessed the beginning right, but I couldnt foresee this ending... And the final words of Supreme Treasure as he put on the Headband. Listening to this part at first seems funny, but later it becomes engraved in the heart! Once, I had sincere love right before me, but I didnt treasure it. Only when it was lost did I feel regret that was too late; nothing is more painful in this world. If Heaven could grant me a chance to do it all over again, I would say three words to that person: "I love you." If this love must have a time limit, I hope its ten thousand years. Whereas Chen Feiyang and Lu Hao fell into silencetheir minds held a single word! Shocked! Chapter 59: Again, Keeping His Word [Seeking Favorites, Seeking Recommendations] Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Again, Keeping His Word [Seeking Favorites, Seeking Recommendations]Chen Feiyang was completely dazed. Wu Qianmin and Liang Lan simply laughed and were moved by just a line or a scene. Yet, as a director, his imagination was something he was never short of. Although Lu Xiaobus description was severely flawed, even somewhat chaotic at times, the complete images of the movie still emerged in his mind. Is this a romance drama? Yes! But also, no! Is this a comedy? Yes! Yet, it is also a tragedy! "Look, that person looks like a dog," Lu Xiaobu delivered the final line: "End of the play!" "Boom!" That phrase was like a powerful stimulant, piercing straight into the heart, instantly rejuvenating everyone. "Clap clap clap!" Explosive applause like thunder echoed in the small private room. Liang Lan was crying as she clapped: "Young Master, you are so talented." Wu Qianmin also started crying: "Why do I feel like crying when it was clearly so funny before?" Lu Hao was exceedingly excited: "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!!" The screenwriters head almost touched the ground, bowing almost 180 degrees: "Im sorry, Young Master Bu, I was wrong. I am the tasteless one, I am the scum. I sincerely apologize for my earlier words! Im ready to accept any punishment!" Chen Feiyang tore up the script he previously treasured and almost fought over: "Young Master Bu, you are right; my script is trash!" If outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely go mad. Director Chen Feiyang admitting his script was trash?! How could that be possible? After all, its a script that caught the eyes of Director Chen Feiyang! Was that even a script? It was practically a treasure trove! And now, he tore it up with his own hands! "Young Master Bu, what do you think about letting me direct this film?" Chen Feiyang made the first move, setting aside his pride. He came up to Lu Xiaobu, fawningly pouring him Coke: "I have a professional team, full equipment. I promise to produce it beautifully, and youll also have veto power; if youre unsatisfied, we can reshoot anytime!" Seeing Chen Feiyangs behavior, everyone in the room was speechless. You are Chen Feiyang, the celebrated director! The director who has won heavy awards! A director whom countless people flatter at the flick of a wrist! Is it really okay for you to be shameless like this now? However, Liang Lan secretly nodded. Leaving this kind of movie to a director like Chen Feiyang was indeed the best choice; she believed it would absolutely turn out to be a perfect "A Chinese Odyssey." When the time comes, she must go to the theater to watch it! The screenwriters face, likewise, filled with anticipation. He couldnt remember the last time Director Chen was so eager to film a movie. Yet, he was confident about securing this film. After all, their capabilities were not to be underestimated. Although there were some controversies before, he had humbly apologized. If Young Master Bu was unsatisfied, he was still prepared to take the punishment. Even Lu Hao, having already received promise from Lu Xiaobu, had lost the urge to compete. As a director, he knew better than anyone the consequences if a movie turned out badly. Now, Director Chen Feiyang was the best choice! "I wont give it. I must keep my word; Ive already promised to Fatso." Lu Xiaobus statement left everyone shocked, struck by thunder! Chen Feiyang was almost on the verge of tears. Keeping his word, damn it, always keeping his word! His eyes held a deep resent as he stared at Fatso. He had figured it out; this Fatso was definitely his nemesis! Just now he asked for a venue, Young Master Bu, and there came a promise kept. Now he wants the script, Young Master Bu still keeps his word! Fatso, what kind of dumb luck is this? But Lu Hao was overwhelmed with joy, his eyes even reddened! Really! Is he really going to give it to him?! "Lu Hao ah! *cough cough cough*, youre a film student too, how about it? Would you be interested in taking me as your mentor?" Chen Feiyang coughed and said to Lu Hao. He has to get this movie! "Really?" Lu Hao was delighted, being able to take Chen Feiyang as a mentor was something he had always dreamed of! "Of course its true, take a look at this script..." Chen Feiyang slowly said. "No way!" This time, contrary to his earlier willingness to give up the venue, Lu Hao was extraordinarily determined: "This is the script Young Master Bu gave to me." "This... look at this..." Chen Feiyang was eagerly pulling Lu Hao aside and muttered for a long while. When they came back. "Young Master Bu, my master and I are going to co-direct this movie, is that okay?" Lu Hao asked with nervousness on his face. "Go ahead, what does it matter to me?" Lu Xiaobu shrugged: "Just make sure its well done. How much investment will it probably need?" "Ten million!" Chen Feiyang declared resolutely: "Just ten million, and I can perfectly produce this movie." "Ten million? That little?" Lu Xiaobu was somewhat surprised, even he knew that movie budgets nowadays easily run into hundreds of millions, but now it only needed ten million? "Yes, only ten million. This time Ive decided to let go of all the superficial things, focus wholeheartedly, and dedicatedly make a good movie. I have my own team, no extra costs needed." Chen Feiyang said earnestly, with a fiery passion in his eyes. "Alright, Sister Lan can give the money." Lu Xiaobu shrugged indifferently. A whopping squander of ten million, delightful! But the scriptwriter aside received a critical hit of ten thousand points! He originally thought he had already overestimated the importance of A Chinese Odyssey in Director Chens heart, but he underestimated it! Others may not know, but he knew what this ten million represented. It meant that Director Chen was going to use all the connections he had made over the years in the entertainment industry in place of money! Simply put, Director Chen was betting everything on this movie! If he wins, he achieves fame and sets a benchmark in film history! If he loses, he ends up in ruins! Everything he has accumulated will be gone! "Director Chen, you!" The scriptwriter spoke out, trying to stop all of this from happening. This approach was clearly irrational! "Dont say more, I trust Young Master Bu, and even more, I trust myself!" Chen Feiyang passionately said: "This time it will definitely be a win!" Having said this, he left the private room. Outside, the patrons were still murmuring, discussing what exactly had happened inside. Just then Chen Feiyang came out, his face full of fervent joy. He took a few steps, then suddenly turned around and bowed twice towards the private room: "Thank Xiaobu Young Master for giving me this opportunity!" Everyone was shocked! What? Chen Feiyang bowed to Lu Xiaobu? What is happening to this world? Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Meanwhile, inside the private room. "Is he out of his mind?" Lu Xiaobu turned to look at Liang Lan: "If he wants to bow, why didnt he do it inside the room?" "Uh... this..." Liang Lan was at a loss for words. Her inner world was collapsing. Young Master Bu, if a big shot bowed to someone, surely they wouldnt think about whether his brain is glitched like you are?! Chapter 60: From Short and Wealthy to Tall and Handsome [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 60: Chapter 60: From Short and Wealthy to Tall and Handsome [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu rushed to the bathroom, excitedly opening the system interface. This time, he blew another ten million! With just a tap, his health value is maxed out, isnt it? Isnt that just awesome? "Spent 3.9 million squandering money to exchange for 39 health attribute points," Lu Xiaobu said with a booming enthusiasm. "Exchange successful." With the systems prompt sound, Lu Xiaobu seemed to undergo a complete transformation, even faint glimmers of light flickering around him. Starting from the top of his head, Lu Xiaobu was like shedding his old skin, his originally slightly yellowish skin gradually became crystal clear, glowing with a healthy rosy hue, tender like a babys, softer even than Liang Lans delicate skin! Not only that, his height seemed to have increased slightly, his muscles became more toned, and his bones stronger. Even his not-too-handsome features became much more defined, handsomeness increasing more than twofold. Lu Xiaobu transformed from a short, wealthy, and mediocre guy into a tall, rich, and handsome one. He looked in the mirror and suddenly let out a satisfied laugh: "Wahaha, awesome, this is truly how Young Master should look like! I cant take it, Im falling in love with myself, time to go show off!" Walking into the private room. "Ahem!" Lu Xiaobu coughed twice to attract attention. "What the, Lu Xiaobu, what did you do? In the blink of an eye, how did you suddenly become handsome?" Zhou Jingyuan was drinking a coke, and as she turned around, the coke in her hand dropped to the floor. She stared at Lu Xiaobu in disbelief, shouting in shock. Hearing Zhou Jingyuans shout, the others also looked over, exclaiming in amazement. "Young Master, this..." Liang Lan beside him was stunned, and couldnt help but reach out to touch Lu Xiaobus smooth skin. That touch was enough to realize that Young Master Bus skin was indeed like a babys. Looking at herself, she even felt a hint of jealousy rising inside her. "No way, Xiaobu, what... what Elixir have you eaten? That was just a few seconds? Have you transformed into another person?" Wu Qianmin was also stunned, staring at Lu Xiaobu in disbelief. My god, how did Lu Xiaobu suddenly become so handsome? Her heart began to flutter wildlyif Lu Xiaobu was this handsome, maybe she could... Listening to the girls compliments, Lu Xiaobu chuckled: "How about that? Stunning and cool, right! I was born with a celestial beauty thats hard to hide! You just never noticed it before. Which of my beauties wants to spend a romantic night with me?" "Pfft!" Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan blushed and scoffed lightly, ignoring Lu Xiaobu further. "Young Master, who calls themselves naturally beautiful?" Sister Lan rolled her eyes, feigning annoyance. It was one thing for the women to be shocked, but even Zhang Meng was taken aback: "Perfect Level health?" "What do you mean? Health has levels?" Lu Xiaobu became interested. "Yes, Young Master, health indeed has levels," Zhang Meng quickly recovered and explained: "People eat grains, and its impossible for their bodies not to have some issues, so the common definition of health at best is Excellent Level health, and most people are actually in a sub-healthy state." "Generally speaking, only newborns without congenital defects possess Perfect Level health at the moment of birth. So, technically, Perfect Level health doesnt exist in the world. But looking at you now, Young Master, its clearly Perfect Level health!" "Wahaha, freaking awesome!" Lu Xiaobu was ecstatic: "I like the word perfect. Reward, five thousand each." Everyone exchanged looks, knowing Lu Xiaobu wasnt going to explain further; being people under Young Master Bu, they didnt dare to probe further and could only smile bitterly: "Thank you, Young Master Bu." Only Zhou Jingyuan, an outsider, with relentless curiosity, kept staring at Lu Xiaobu, clearly wanting to pry his secrets open. Lu Xiaobu touched his chin looking at the remaining squandering money, thinking whether he should gamble or continue to buy attributes. After a thought, in the end, he decided to gamble first. Today, he had already transformed immensely; if any attribute made another huge leap, he might genuinely end up being dissected in a research institute. "System, draw a lottery." "Do you want to draw separately or all at once?" The typically lazy system unusually responded. "Difference?" "Draw separately, one million each time, draw five times. Draw together, just one draw, and the goods get better." "Lets draw together, anyway, theres nothing I particularly want." "Spent six million in prodigal funds, lottery successful, congratulations on obtaining 15 low-quality Immortal Beans from Dragon Ball World." Low-quality Immortal Beana substandard product of the Immortal Beans from Dragon Ball Worlds Korin, can heal external injuries, and yes, they are crunchily delicious! "Why are they of low quality?" Lu Xiaobu pouted, somewhat dissatisfied. But the system had already skedaddled, and there was no one else to ask. He popped an Immortal Bean into his mouth! His eyes suddenly lit up with delight! Yum! Delicious! Fragrant! Indeed, its crunchily delicious! Joy shared is joy doubled; Lu Xiaobu isnt a stingy person. "Here, Sister Lan, open your mouth, Ive got something tasty for you." Lu Xiaobu casually lay down on Liang Lans lap pillow, smiling at her. "Ah." Liang Lan didnt hesitate, opening her red lips. As the Immortal Bean entered her mouth, Liang Lans beautiful eyes widened, her whole being seemingly transcended. This was an indescribable sensation, different from the taste of boiled cabbage, and not like the sweetness of cola. It seemed to be a taste not of this world, utterly fulfilling! If there truly were dragon liver and phoenix gall, it probably couldnt compare to this! "Come on, Qianmin." Lu Xiaobu waved at Wu Qianmin, grinning. "What?" Wu Qianmin hesitated but still walked over. After all, seeing Sister Lans reaction, she knew it must be something good. "Zhang Meng, Li Jin, come on." Lu Xiaobu threw them each an Immortal Bean. "Crunch!" As the Immortal Beans were eaten, everyone just stood there, their eyes showing a mix of ecstasy and tenderness. It was as if they were embraced by their mothers! A warm tingling sensation all over, an indescribable thrill. A moment later. "Instructor!" Li Jin exclaimed in shock. "Shush!" Zhang Meng shook his head, causing Li Jin to swallow his words. But with a look, they understood each others thoughts. They nodded seriously, indicating they felt the same! You see, having been special soldiers, their bodies had always retained some hidden injuries. sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But just now, with that bean ingested, their injuries miraculously started to heal themselves! What kind of elixir had Young Master Bu given them?! Lu Xiaobu looked at the remaining ten Immortal Beans, nodded happily, "Li Xide, dad, eldest brother, second brother, one each, and six left over as snacks, nice, nice." "Lu Xiaobu, have you forgotten something?" At this moment, a grinding voice came: "What about mine?!" "Oh, little chili pepper." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Zhou Jingyuan: "Give it to me." Lu Xiaobu: "No!" Little chili pepper immediately unleashed her full firepower! Chapter 61 Almost Kissed [Please favorite, please recommend] Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Almost Kissed [Please favorite, please recommend]Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Zhou Jingyuan exploded like a fiery chili pepper in an instant. This Lu Xiaobu, not giving her anything secretly was already enough, but now he even dares to share benefits in front of her without giving her any. How could her fiery temper bear it? Especially since that thing looked so delicious, right? "Are you giving it to me or not?!" Zhou Jingyuan, like a little wild cat, gnashed her teeth and squinted as she asked. As she spoke, she pounced forward. Keep in mind, at this moment, Lu Xiaobu was still laying on Liang Lans lap, completely defenseless. However, since Lu Xiaobus health was fully restored, his reaction speed also improved a bit. So... Lu Xiaobu stretched out his foot... and gently placed it in front of Zhou Jingyuans foot... "Ouch!" Zhou Jingyuan wasnt paying attention and immediately tripped. And the direction of her fall was none other than Lu Xiaobu. "Ah!" Zhou Jingyuan screamed in surprise. "Thud!" sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A light thumping sound followed. Zhou Jingyuans body slammed right onto Lu Xiaobu. Although she wasnt hurt! But... She almost kissed him! And then... Lu Xiaobu turned his head. Mua And they kissed! "Boing!" Zhou Jingyuans doll-like face instantly turned blood red, as if it were about to bleed. This Lu Xiaobu actually... actually, even... "Im going to kill you!" Zhou Jingyuan completely blew up. "Woo!" And just as her red lips parted, Lu Xiaobu shoved an Immortal Bean into them. Zhou Jingyuans eyes immediately widened, and she froze on the spot. She even forgot that she was still face-to-face with Lu Xiaobu. A deliciousness that shook her soul overwhelmed her brain, leaving her mind blank! What is this? Its just a bean! Why... Why! She was stunned, but Lu Xiaobu was not! So... Mua Lu Xiaobu took another kiss. Hehe, what a gain! Zhou Jingyuan immediately stood up, glaring at Lu Xiaobu angrily, but then she thought about the deliciousness just now... "Lu Xiaobu, were even now, but if there is a next time, I wont let you off!" After calming down, Zhou Jingyuan said through clenched teeth. "Ok! Ok!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders, secretly delighted, since he had already taken advantage of the situation. Now, besides the few beans he needed to leave for his brothers, there were only five Immortal Beans left. "Um... Lets have one more. Crunchy, tasty!" Lu Xiaobu licked his lips and tossed another bean into his mouth! He didnt know if it was because of his Perfect Level health, but he didnt feel anything special about the Immortal Bean. It just tasted really good. Seeing Lu Xiaobus casual actions, everyone in the room felt a heart-wrenching pain. Oh my Young Master! Do you not realize how valuable what youre holding is? Are you treating it like candy? This is too much of a loss...never mind, I forgot you are the prodigal son! "Ah!" Lu Xiaobu suddenly exclaimed. "Whats wrong?" Everyone immediately tensed up. "I found this thing is quite tasty even just holding it in my mouth!" Lu Xiaobu said excitedly. "Im done!" Everyone collapsed in disbelief! And just then. "Bang!" The bars door was smashed open. "Lu Xiaobu, Lu Xiaobu, help me!" Zhang Wenliang, with his body covered in blood and a face full of sorrow, stumbled in, leaving bloody footprints with each step. He was also carrying someone on his back, who turned out to be his fatherZhang Benhu. At this moment, Zhang Benhu was ghostly pale, with knife wounds all over. Blood flowed down his body, soaking the clothes of the Zhang father and son. The entire bar was in immense panic. "What happened?" "Help! Murder!" "..." "Li Jin, let the guests leave through the back door." Lu Xiaobu frowned. "Yes, Young Master!" Li Jin immediately took the command. He admired in his heart; this was the Young Master, prioritizing the safety of the guests first. As the guests left one by one, the chaos in the bar settled down. Blood suddenly covered the floor. Lu Xiaobu stood up to go downstairs. But was stopped by Zhang Meng: "Young Master, let me check it out first." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and agreed. "Whats going on?" Zhang Meng approached the two, furrowing his brow. "Help, help, help!" Zhang Wenliang seemed to have been frightened silly, continuously repeating the words for help. Suddenly, he slipped on the blood beneath his feet, and instantly fell to the ground, and Zhang Benhu he was carrying also fell. "Cough cough! Puh!" Zhang Benhu, from the fall, actually woke up and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, it looked like he was breathing less air and losing too much blood. He grabbed Zhang Wenliangs hand as if seeing the light, looking up at Lu Xiaobu upstairs with a desperate gaze: "Young Master Bu! I was betrayed and set up, Im almost done for. I beg you, save my son; he is my only son. As long as you can save his life, I will be your ox and horse in the next life to repay your great kindness!" Zhang Wenliang held his father, crying with snot and tears: "Dad, dad, dad, youll be okay, you must be okay." "Kneel down, kneel down!" Zhang Benhu, trembling all over, stuttered: "Kowtow to your Uncle Bu! Quickly!" "Please dont, calling me normally is enough, raising such a big son, Im not up for it." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "Young Master Bu! I beg you! I beg you!" Zhang Benhus eyes were filled with an even more intense plea. At this moment, he was not the Zhang Family Head or a formidable figure controlling both the underworld and legitimate businesses; he was just a father! "Bang!" At this moment, the bars door suffered a second assault. A group of blood-stained men, carrying knives and wearing bloodthirsty expressions on their faces, stormed in. The leader, Lu Xiaobu actually recognized him; it was their classmate, the vengeful Fu Hu. Its true what they say, a dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix begets a phoenix; the son of a rat will dig holes! Fu Hu was already involved in hacking people. "What? Not running?" Fu Hu, with an arrogant smile, stopped his underlings from rushing forward, looking down at the Zhang father and son with a victorious grin. "Fu Hu! Ill fight you!" Zhang Wenliang, seeing Fu Hu, his eyes turned red, ready to fight to the death. "Dont!" Zhang Benhu, summoning strength from nowhere, grabbed Zhang Wenliang. As a result, he himself was jolted and spat out a mouthful of blood. "See, the old man is smarter than the son." Fu Hu sneered, then no longer looked at the Zhang father and son, whom he considered as good as dead. Instead, he raised his head, showing a ferocious and mocking gaze at Lu Xiaobu: "Lu Xiaobu, do you know why they could run from my hands to here? I just wanted to see the look of you peeing your pants! Hahaha!" Chapter 62 I Grant You Rebirth [Additional Update for 1000 Recommendation Votes] Chapter 62: Chapter 62 I Grant You Rebirth [Additional Update for 1000 Recommendation Votes]Fu Hus wildly arrogant laughter spread throughout the entire tavern: "Boys, did you see that? That is the infamous prodigal son Lu Xiaobu. Let me tell you, this guys little ding-ding isnt even as big as my little finger! When he wets his pants later on, you all better observe carefully, otherwise, you might miss it!" He is not a gentleman. The grudge from being humiliated by Lu Xiaobu at school a few days ago is still fresh in his mind. If not for his deliberate indulgence, for the sake of mocking Lu Xiaobu, how could the Zhang Family father and son escape from the ambush? Hearing Fu Hus words, the gangster underlings also burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! That small, its really quite pitiful." "Having money but nowhere to spend it, must be tough, huh?" "Whats wrong? Too small to pee? Let me help you, shh!" "Hahahahaha!" "..." Zhang Mengs tiger-like eyes instantly filled with murderous intent, his muscles tensed, his body like a fully drawn bow. With just one command from the Young Master, he was confident that he could take this guy down in a flash! "What? You want your men to make a move?" Fu Hu looked at Zhang Mengs demeanor and, surprisingly, showed no fear whatsoever. He scoffed as he looked at Lu Xiaobu: "Think it over carefully. Our conflict with the Zhang Family is a matter of the Underworld, but once you make a move, your Lu Family will be dragged into it!" "I know your family protects its own, but our family isnt made of the type to sacrifice justice for kin, and our methods are much more brutal than you can imagine!" "Your two bodyguards can protect you, but can they protect your family members?" "Think about it. Unless you have the power to wipe us all out." "Then your family, including the brother who adores you, your second brother, and that old geezer of a dad, facing the fate of being torn apart by five horses... that scene, swoosh, blood spraying!" The more Fu Hu spoke, the more audacious he became: "Thats why, good baby should act like a good baby, just watch obediently, and wet your pants as you should." Wu Qianmin, hearing Fu Hus description, shuddered with fear and quickly clung onto Lu Xiaobu: "Xiaobu, lets not get involved, okay?" Zhou Jingyuan, squinting her eyes, also persuaded: "Xiaobu, enduring for a moment leads to calm seas, tomorrow, I will make them disappear." But upon hearing Zhang Benhus words, Lu Xiaobu, who always had a carefree look on his face, now showed a flash of anger for the first time. His voice was as cold as ice: "Zhang Benhu! Indeed, the Lu Family cannot afford to take action, but can you guarantee his life for me?" A dragon has its reverse scales, touch them and you will incur its wrath! He would not allow his loving father, his eldest brother, his second brother, to be harmed even slightly! Endure? Why should he endure? "Young Master Bu, this... If I were in my prime, why would I fear this little bastard, but now..." Zhang Benhus near-death face revealed a trace of desolation. "You just need to tell me, can you, or cant you?" Lu Xiaobus tone was extremely cold. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Wu Qianmin shivered once again. She realized that this always giggling Lu Xiaobu had suddenly become unrecognizably strange. "Can!" Zhang Benhu gritted his teeth and said. He didnt know what Lu Xiaobu was about to do, but he could only tell the truth! "Fine, then I grant you a new life." Lu Xiaobus words brooked no argument: "Remember what you promised me." "Ah!" Zhang Benhus consciousness was already becoming blurred. He could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive! Lu Xiaobu took out an Immortal Bean and tossed it to Zhang Meng: "Give it to him to eat." "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng immediately obeyed and stuffed the Immortal Bean into Zhang Benhus mouth. "Hahahaha! Whats the matter, Lu Xiaobu? Have you lost your mind?" Fu Hu mocked incessantly: "Youre actually pinning your hopes on a dying man! And, I grant you a new life, who do you think you are?" Seeing that Lu Xiaobu ignored him, he turned his gaze to Zhang Wenliang: "Hey, hey, hey, Zhang Wenliang, you just watch Lu Xiaobu mess with your dad like this. Youre really a filial son! Look, although I am the culprit, at least I can let your dad die peacefully, right?" Hearing Fu Hus words and already on edge, Zhang Wenliang suddenly exploded: "Lu Xiaobu, not saving a dying man is one thing! But why do you insist on toying with us?" Zhang Benhu was now entirely confused in his mind. He had already been prepared to meet his death. But at the moment that the Immortal Bean went down. He felt a warm sensation envelop his body. The cuts on his body actually began to itch. Subconsciously, he thought it was a hallucination before death. But thankfully, he made the right choice before dying. He had followed Lu Xiaobus words. Presumably, that way, Lu Xiaobu would protect his son. As long as his stupid son didnt provoke Lu Xiaobu... But at that moment. Zhang Wenliangs words reached his ears. He instinctively slapped back with a slap! "Slap!" A powerful slap fiercely landed on Zhang Wenliangs face. Zhang Wenliang, in his anger, felt the intense pain on his face and suddenly froze. Tears involuntarily began to flow. He remembered this force! It was his dads strength! He hurriedly looked to the ground. Indeed! He saw his dad also with a dumbfounded expression watching everything! Although his body was still covered with bloodstains, the look of being at deaths door was gone. "Dad! You! Youre alive?!" Zhang Wenliang was ecstatically looking at this scene. "Me? Am I alive?" Zhang Benhu clenched his fists, also in disbelief. "How the hell is this possible? Is this some kind of joke?" Fu Hu was dumbfounded! He was completely stunned! Wasnt this old guy supposed to be on his deathbed? He had personally seen the knife wounds on his body! Why was he suddenly alive now? The gangsters were scared out of their wits! Theyd been knifing people for so many years, when had they ever seen something like this? One by one, terror made them drop their knives and run out like crazy! "Ghost!" "Hes playing dead!" "Save me!" "..." Fu Hu suddenly remembered Lu Xiaobus wordsI grant you a new life! He couldnt help but shudder, his pupils dilated, staring at Lu Xiaobu in horror! Who on earth was he? Granting a new life? Was it really granted?! He, who had been in the underworld, believed in these tales of gods and ghosts more than the average person. Now, witnessing this unscientific scene. A stench of urine suddenly emanated from his pants! He had been scared into wetting himself! This guy, whod specifically come to see Lu Xiaobu piss his pants, ended up pissing his own pants because of Lu Xiaobu! Zhang Benhu finally came to his senses. He immediately looked up at Lu Xiaobu. Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then, he knelt down straight away! "Thank you, Young Master Bu, for saving my life. From now on, the Zhang Family will follow Young Master Bus lead!" "Bang bang bang!" Zhang Benhu knocked his head on the ground three times, hard! Zhang Wenliang saw this, and also knelt down with a thud. "Thank you, Young Master Bu, for saving my father. Starting today, I, Zhang Wenliang, shall be your dog. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!" "Be my dog? Youre, not qualified," Lu Xiaobu said coldly: "Just make sure you do what you promised to do!" "Yes, Young Master Bu!" Zhang Benhu immediately responded. But Zhang Wenliang hung his head in shame. Knowing that Zhang Meng was nothing more than Young Master Bus lackey. He truly wasnt qualified to be the dog! Chapter 63: Stray Dog 【Please Collect, Please Recommend】 Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Stray Dog Please Collect, Please RecommendZhang Benhu had long regarded Lu Xiaobu, who pulled him back from the Ghost Gate, as a god. Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus order, he immediately walked up to the terrified Fu Hu, revealing a cruel smile: "Little bastard! Young Master Bu says he wants your life!" "No, no, please!" Fu Hu was extremely terrified and instantly tried to escape. But how could he possibly get away? "Just come over here." Zhang Benhu grabbed Fu Hus arm. "Snap!" "Ah!" With a scream, Fu Hus arm was twisted into a strange S shape. "If you kill me, my father wont let you off!" Fu Hu screamed. "Dont worry, I wont let your father off either!" Zhang Benhu coldly said: "Dare to set me up, although my Zhang Family isnt entirely dark, were not so easy to bully either!" "No, no!" Fu Hu screamed repeatedly. "Dont dirty this place," Lu Xiaobu frowned and said. "I dont want this matter to have any clear or hidden relation with the Lu Family at any point. I also dont ever want to see you again, understand?" "Yes, Young Master, I understand. This matter is merely a private feud between my Zhang Family and the Fu Family," Zhang Benhu immediately responded: "But if Young Master has any orders, I will be at your beck and call." Having said that, he dragged Fu Hu out: "Lets go, little bastard, lets find a quiet place to talk." "No! No, please!" Fu Hu struggled frantically. He now realized who could genuinely save his life! "Xiaobu... no, Young Master Bu, no... Grandpa Bu! I was wrong! I was wrong! Please spare my life!" Fu Hu struggled with all his might, kneeling and kowtowing. His strength was immense, his forehead breaking skin and bleeding! At this moment, he no longer had the demeanor of turning tables; he was pitiful like a dog with no home! But Zhang Benhus strength was clearly greater, mercilessly dragging Fu Hu on the ground, creating a trail of fresh blood! Lu Xiaobu watched all this indifferently, without a trace of pity. Others curse him, he curses back. Others hit him, he hits back. Since Fu Hu had threatened his familys life, he should be prepared to pay with his life. "Zhang Meng, Sister Lan, handle the aftermath. This matter ends here," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. "Yes!" The two of them took their leave. Li Jin didnt need to be told, he had already started cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground. Fortunately, this was originally an ancient martial arts style tavern, a bit of blood and stains were no big deal, instead, it added a sort of character. "Xiaobu, you!" Wu Qianmin was still holding Xiaobu; she was really scared today. There was a knife and there was blood. Even more frightening to her was Lu Xiaobus boundless indifference just now. "Heh heh, my Qianmin has grown again. Let me touch." Lu Xiaobu chuckled, once again adopting that carefree demeanor, lustfully eyeing Wu Qianmins chest, about to reach out. "Oh no!" Wu Qianmin exclaimed, quickly letting go of Lu Xiaobu. Looking at Lu Xiaobus expression, no different from usual, she felt dizzy. Which one is the real Lu Xiaobu? She and Lu Xiaobu grew up together, but why does she feel she doesnt know him today? Only Zhou Jingyuan seemed thoughtful as she watched Lu Xiaobu, pondering something. ... With this incident, everyone lost interest in continuing to play, and thus they each went back to their homes. As soon as he arrived home, Lus father, Lu Hongbin, and Lu Wenhuo gathered around, looking at Lu Xiaobu worriedly. "Xiaobu, are you alright?" Lus father sized up Lu Xiaobu from head to toe worriedly and asked, "Whats the matter?" Lu Xiaobu asked, perplexed. "You dont know, just now Zhang Family and Fu Family got into a fight. It was said that Fu Family ambushed Zhang Family, but the ambush failed, and Zhang Family turned around and killed Fu Hu. Now, both families are sworn enemies!" Lu Hongbin said, his words for the first time very stern: "You are not allowed to go out at night these next few days, did you hear? Especially not to the bars! I will have someone watching over there!" "Yes!" Lu Xiaobu said helplessly. He didnt expect that it would eventually drag him into this. "Xiaobu, dont be upset, your eldest brother is doing this for your good. Both sides are seeing red, and since you are somewhat involved in this matter, its inevitable they might vent their anger on you," Lu Wenhuo explained. "Involved with me?" Lu Xiaobu was startled, wondering how that came to be. "Yes, if it wasnt for you causing trouble for Zhang Family at the car show, weakening them significantly, Fu Family wouldnt have been so bold. If Zhang Family takes their anger out on you and makes a move against you, that would be trouble," Lus father said: "By the way, Ive requested leave from your school, you shouldnt go to school for now either. Wait until things calm down." "Alright." Lu Xiaobu shrugged. Although he knew Zhang Family wouldnt dare lay a finger on him. But to keep his family from worrying, he could only stay home for a couple of days. "Come, Dad, eldest brother, second brother, I have something delicious for you." At this moment, Lu Xiaobu took out Immortal Beans from his pocket, speaking mysteriously. "Whats that?" Lu Hongbin looked at the unimpressive looking Immortal Beans and asked. "Dont worry about it, its something good." Lu Xiaobu directly stuffed one into each of their mouths. "Hmm?!" All three widened their eyes, feeling the soul-stirring deliciousness in their mouths. They looked at each other incredulously and then back at Lu Xiaobu simultaneously. "Hehe, good stuff, right?" Lu Xiaobu smiled. Although he knew these beans, for his uninjured family members, were no different from very delicious jelly beans, completely a waste. But he enjoyed this kind of waste. Giving them to his own family, not others, whats wasteful about that? After all, he is a wastrel! Meanwhile, Liang Lan and Zhang Meng returned, nodding covertly at Lu Xiaobu, indicating that they had handled everything. After dinner, Liang Lan found a moment. "Young Master, this is from Zhang Family." Liang Lan pulled out a document: "These are the property deeds for three villas in our complex, Ive checked them, theres no connection to Zhang Family on these documents, meaning they cant trace any relation between us and Zhang Family." "Okay, take it," Lu Xiaobu nodded indifferently: "Perfect, Sister Lan, you live in one, Zhang Meng, Li Jin, and Li Xide can live in another one, saves them the trip." "Alright, Young Master," Liang Lan nodded. She knew very well the value of these three villas; each was worth about ten million in the market. That means, tonight, Young Master carelessly earned another thirty million! And they are all fixed assets! He had just spent ten million on a movie tonight. It hasnt even been two hours, and Young Master has earned three times back. And they are all value-holding fixed assets! Young Master is really something! In the following days, Lu Xiaobu began his journey as a recluse. However, being a wastrel, does staying at home mean he cant be wasteful? That would be underestimating Lu Xiaobu! He did something this time, that all you readers have been dreaming of doing! Guess what it is?

Chapter 64: Locking the Eunuch Author in the Dark Room [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Locking the Eunuch Author in the Dark Room [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu, who is at home, can only sleep until the sun is high and read novels to pass the time. But what vexes him is that after reading the novels in this world, he sleeps even better! They are all Divine Books with hypnotic effects! Truly freaking magical! "Sister Lan, arent there any good novels? These novels are more sleep-inducing than a teachers lecture." Lu Xiaobu woke up for the twenty-eighth time on Liang Lans lap, feeling utterly dejected. "I think they are okay," Liang Lan responded after a glance, "These are all top-ranked novels with high reviews!" "High reviews, my foot. Take Cangtian Road, for instance! The protagonist goes through so much trouble to find his parents killer! Logically, seeing the enemy should flare up rage, just kill with one knife stroke!" "Instead, he spends ten thousand words explaining why he kills him! From social ethics to legal morals! Elaborately written, its like an epic masterpiece! Really freaking bored?" Lu Xiaobu rolls his eyes and speaks. "Since the top-ranked ones dont work, how about Young Master try some that are unpopular? Maybe they suit your taste?" Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liang Lan pondered the content of the novels based on Young Master Bus remark; indeed, her liver felt a touch of pain. So all she could do was make a suggestion. "Good idea." Lu Xiaobus eyes brightened, and he immediately scrolled to the bottom. He went to find those books with the least comments and filled with scolding. He indeed found something worthwhile. This time he learned to read the comments first. And finally, Lu Xiaobu found one. "Citys Strongest Gods System" The comments below were as follows: "Trash author, what the f*** is this?" "What kind of society is this, killing people randomly? Annihilating their families? Do you think the police are for decoration?" "No wonder you flopped." "..." Liang Lan looked at these comments and shook her head. Although she generally doesnt read novels targeted at males, anyone seeing these comments would lose interest. Of course, except Young Master Bu. "Just looking at these comments, it seems like a good book." Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands excitedly and opened the book. While reading, he commented: "Nice, exhilarating, just like this, look at me and I kill your whole family, reward an Alliance Hierarch." One Alliance Hierarch, one thousand bucks! "Good, kill this scoundrel, and reward another Alliance Hierarch." Two Alliance Hierarchs, two thousand bucks! "You touch my brother, Ill chop off your limbs, well done, reward another Alliance Hierarch." Three Alliance Hierarchs, three thousand bucks! ... Liang Lan smiled bitterly on the sideThey just read a few Chapters, and he had already rewarded eighteen Alliance Hierarchs. Even confinement couldnt stop Young Masters wasteful actions. "Holy crap! Its gone?" Lu Xiaobu suddenly sat up, "It was just getting to the crucial part, why did it end abruptly?" Liang Lan immediately checked. She saw the title of the latest Chapter. "The book is indefinitely discontinued." Below it, a few short sentences, yet they conveyed endless hardship. Sorry, I dont know how many people, or even if anyone, will read this Chapter. But if someone does, all I can say is sorry. I, really cant bear it anymore! Reading this comment, Liang Lan understood. She sighed, "Forget it, Young Master, read another book. This author also hasnt had it easy; to have written up to now despite no income and even being cursed, hes already a very persistent person." "No way, I want to read this one." Lu Xiaobu pouted, "Zhang Meng." "Here." "I want you to find this authors address and bring him to me." "We still have an empty villa, right? Rename it The Dark Room." "Then lock this abrupt-ending author in there to write." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and gave the order. How many readers on Earth have wanted to do this? Today, he would act on behalf of the heavens and lock that eunuch author in a dark room to write novels. "Yes!" Zhang Meng twitched the corner of his mouth, having no choice but to follow the order. Liang Lan looked helpless. Young Master Bu, you really know how to play. People cant write anymore, they become eunuchs, and a general reader would just curse a few times. You, on the other hand, drag the person back and lock him up in a dark room? A thousand kilometers from Shimen City, in Zhe Province, in a smoky little room less than ten square meters, a young man with a scruffy beard sat in front of the computer, holding a bottle of alcohol in his left hand, a cigarette in his right, his feet propped up on the desk, staring at the yellowed ceiling with an expression of decay. "Failed again, is there really such a thing as destiny in this world? Cant I make a living by writing?" As Gong Hui spoke, tears involuntarily began to well up in his eyes. Several unread messages were displayed on his phone next to him. Parents: "Son, listen to me, we are not cut out for this line of work, Ive asked around, theres a vacancy in an electronics factory, come back soon." Girlfriend: "Lets break up." Landlord: "Im telling you, ignoring my calls wont help, if you dont pay the rent, move out in three days." Classmate: "Hey, great writer, so you became a eunuch? Didnt you say it would definitely work?" Comments from the novel website app: "Trash author, finally stopped writing? What kind of crap were you writing?" Gong Hui didnt need to look to know what the messages said; he almost knew them by heart. He had always hoped that he could, like the protagonist of his novel, achieve a great comeback and impress everyone. But... Novels are just novels, and reality harshly slapped him across the face! What he hadnt noticed though, were the latest few messages on his phone. "Prodigal Lu Xiaobu rewards10000 Book Coins." "Prodigal Lu Xiaobu rewards10000 Book Coins." "Prodigal Lu Xiaobu rewards10000 Book Coins." "..." Eighteen consecutive identical messages, all ignored by him. Gong Hui took another big swig from his bottle. Sadness and alcohol, even more intoxicating! Just when he was getting dizzily drunk. "Bang." His room door was opened. A burly man walked in, it was Zhang Meng. "You are the author of Citys Strongest Gods System, right?" Zhang Meng looked at this decadent man and asked. "Thats me. What about it?" Gong Hui, dizzily, asked. "My Young Master really likes your novel. You turned it into an eunuch, and he wasnt happy. He wants to lock you in a dark room to write novels." Zhang Meng twitched his mouth as he relayed Lu Xiaobus order. He suddenly remembered something, the Young Master seemed to have said nothing about compensation. This is going to be complicated. How to take him away now? "Joking? Stop kidding me," Gong Hui drunkenly said, "Someone likes my novel? Dont lie to me! How is that possible? Im just trash, just garbage!" "Its true. Are you willing to come with me?" Zhang Meng asked seriously. "If what you say is true, even if its a dark room, so what?" Gong Hui burped from the alcohol, his eyelids still battling. Only in his dreams could he see himself able to support himself by writing novels. "You agree? Thats good. It doesnt count as kidnapping then." Zhang Meng lifted Gong Hui onto his shoulder, paid the overdue rent to the landlord, and strode away. Yes, just like that, the future King of feel-good novels began his journey in the dark room! The smiling face in his sleep, unaware of what kind of nightmare was awaiting him! Chapter 67 Young Master, how do you like my writing? [Please favorite, please recommend] Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Young Master, how do you like my writing? [Please favorite, please recommend]"Typing? Type what? Let me tell you, writing novels doesnt make money, theres only a dead end, I, Fury Wine Cooking, will never write novels again in my life!" Gong Huis roaring voice echoed above the dinner table. "This is your contract." Liang Lan handed the contract to Gong Hui. "Err..." Gong Hui quickly glanced over the contract then scrutinized it three times carefully, lifting his head in disbelief, "Is this real?" "Real!" All the authors nodded seriously. "Damn it!" Gong Hui rushed back into the room he had just come out of! Clatter! "Young Master, hows my writing?" Gong Hui, with a sycophantic smile and sweating profusely, presented his freshly written manuscript to Xiaobu. "En?" Xiaobu looked at Gong Hui with a mischievous smile and pretended to ponder, "What was someone saying just now?" A meter and a half tall elder coughed twice, "Let me tell you..." A hot-dry noodles lover held back a laugh, "Writing novels doesnt make money..." Carrot Li endured, "Theres only a dead end..." Irritable Shrimp exclaimed, "I, Fury Wine Cooking, will never write novels again in my life!" And then... Everyone chimed in unison, "Young Master, hows my writing?" After that, the entire hall erupted with laughter! "Pfft! Hahaha! Fury, youre always slapping other peoples faces in your novels, how does it feel to get slapped in the face in a second?" "Im dying of laughter! Fury, no wonder your novels are comedic, youre a clown yourself!" "This could become a famous anecdote!" "..." Gong Huis entire face turned red, burning hot! He wished he could find a hole to crawl into right now! Damn these bastards! They just love to see him made fun of! That slap in the face! Though embarrassing, more than that, he was thrilled. He did it, he managed to earn money with his novels, enough to support himself, and even provide for his family! He finally got his own Golden Finger, just like the protagonists in his novels! And that Golden Finger was none other than Young Master Bu! Now, he really wanted to immediately call those who looked down on him, who mocked him! To tell them, he, had achieved it! ... In the following days, the editors recruited by Xiaobu all started to fall into place. Truly achieving the situation of one author per editor. Under the dedicated guidance of the editors, the authors literary talents became more and more exquisite, with various foreshadows and unexpected plots increasingly abundant. Even to the point where now, Xiaobu often couldnt guess where their stories would go next, which made him increasingly satisfied. And these authors, they also spared no effort to frantically type, presenting Xiaobu with the most captivating novels. Since Xiaobu didnt forbid them from continuing to post their novels online. So after Xiaobu had read them, their novels were also published on the internet. But by now, they didnt care about the cursing and criticisms online at all. Let them curse. It wasnt written for them, they were just incidental. They no longer, as before, couldnt bear to delete the comments that cursed them. Any displeasing comments were deleted and the commenter permanently banned, all in one go! Its worth mentioning that, Fury Wine Cookings incident of instantly slapping his own face had become the authors favorite thing to tease about. They brought it up almost every day. Then, while Fury Wine Cooking cursed furiously, they would all laugh heartily and go back to typing! Of course! The happiest of them all had to be Xiaobu, twelve authors writing novels specially for him. Each person two thousand words a day, thats two hundred forty thousand words a day, 120 Chapters. This allowed him to totally immerse himself in the ocean of gratifying narratives, his daily task being nothing more than lying on Liang Lans lap pillow, sniffing her scent, happily reading novels. Laughter echoed continuously from within the Lus Villa. Hearing Xiaobus laughter, the Lu father and son were also very happy. They hadnt seen Xiaobu this cheerful in a long time. What none of them noticed was... the originally ridiculed and unnoticed twelfth book... has now become a twice daily updated novel with explosive quality... The curses in the comments were getting fewer and fewer... Praise was growing more and more... So were the rewards... Its ranking on the website was getting higher and higher... ... "Xiaobu, stop looking, its time for school. The issues with the Zhang Family and Fu Family have already settled down, theres nothing to worry about. Who would have thought that the Zhang Family could actually bring down the Fu Family, they really kept their cards close to their chest!" Lu Wenhuo interrupted Xiaobus hearty laughter. "School? What school? Im not going." Xiaobu said, waving his hand dismissively while staring at the novel on his phone. In fact, he was very clear about the situation between the Zhang Family and Fu Family; Zhang Meng would report back the latest developments every day. Its undeniable, although the Fu Family was purely dark, the Zhang Family was grey. But Zhang Benhu, as a crafty old fox, was far better at scheming than the Fu surname guy. After several machinations, the Fu with the son killed and raging was beaten until he was down and out. Of course, it was also thanks to Xiaobu sending a "Immortal Bean" to Zhang Benhu through Zhang Meng. All in all, the Underworld of Shimen doesnt bear the Fu surname anymore, but the Zhangs! And ultimately, it bears the Lu surname! Yes, Xiaobus Lu! "Lu! Xiaobu! Try saying that one more time, do you still acknowledge me as your second brother or not?!" Lu Wenhuos eyes turned fierce. As a top student, nothing was more intolerable to him than not attending school. "This... Fine, fine, Ill go, dont be angry, dont be angry." Upon hearing Lu Wenhuos angry words, Xiaobu hastily apologized: "Its just school, Ill go, Im going right now." "Thats more like it." Lu Wenhuos face broke into a smile again: "Zhang Meng is already waiting for you downstairs, hurry up." "Alright, second brother, when are you going to let me squander your scholarship money?" Xiaobu asked again. "Hey, you brat, youre richer than me now and youre still thinking about my little bit of scholarship money?" Lu Wenhuo playfully cursed and laughed. "Thats different. Ive never spent your money since I was young, of course, I think about it!" Xiaobu countered with a pout. "Fine, as Ive said before, as long as you handle Qianmin, my scholarship money is all yours," Lu Wenhuo said with a chuckle. He felt very happy inside, Xiaobu was still the same Xiaobu. Still the Xiaobu who listened to him and would act spoiled with him. Seeing Lu Wenhuos smiling face, Liang Lan couldnt help but laugh. Young Master Bu sure had high EQ! He resolved the slight but definitely there distance with just a few words. ... Xiaobu arrived at school yawning. "Good day, Young Master Bu." The security guard, not having seen Xiaobu for several days, rushed up eagerly to take Xiaobus backpack filled with Coke, snacks, RMB, and no books at all. "Here, take five hundred." "Thank you, Young Master Bu." Reaching his classroom. "Young Master Bu has arrived." The sharp-eyed Li Qiang immediately called out. Suddenly, the previously lifeless class boiled with excitement. "Long live Young Master Bu. Long live Young Master Bu!" "Am I the only one who noticed Young Master Bu got even more handsome?" "I noticed too, Young Master Bu is sky-high dashing!" "Wow, haha, exhilarating, one thousand for everyone." Xiaobu enjoyed himself. Going to school wasnt without its perks, after all. Once seated, Xiaobu continued to take out his phone to read the novel. Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He was enjoying advanced Chapters not available online, feeling thrilled. At that moment, someone suddenly flashed beside him, and then Xiaobu felt a sharp pain in his chest! Damn it, he was ambushed on the chest?! Chapter 68 The Profoundly Nuanced Ultimate Dragon Claw [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 68: Chapter 68 The Profoundly Nuanced Ultimate Dragon Claw [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu was chest-attacked! What the hell is this ghostly trick?! Lu Xiaobu hastily turned his head to see who it was. Great, its that hot pepper, Zhou Jingyuan. "What the hell are you doing?" Lu Xiaobu rubbed his chest and rolled his eyes. "Just saying hi!" The little hot pepper lifted her head and said, "I learned it from you, you know." "Hey, do you think you and I are the same?" Lu Xiaobu said with exasperation. "Whats the difference? If you can do it, I can too!" Zhou Jingyuan retorted with a pout. "Want me to teach you the second move of Dragon Claw?" Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and smiled. "What?" Zhou Jingyuan was taken aback, theres a second move to this ghostly technique? "The Ultimate Dragon Claw." Lu Xiaobu snickered, reaching towards Zhou Jingyuans lower abdomen: "Come on, let me demo it for you. Ill be gentle! The key is to get just the right depth! I believe youll get the hang of it quickly!" "Get lost!" Zhou Jingyuan understood instantly! This Lu Xiaobu was playing the rogue again! "So what do you want?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "If you hadnt said anything I would have forgotten." Zhou Jingyuan said: "Xiaobu, there are a few novels that are pretty good. I want to recommend them to you!" "I dont read romance novels." Lu Xiaobu shook his head. "I dont read romance novels either, its the male-oriented ones." Zhou Jingyuan pulled out her phone, opened the website, and showed Lu Xiaobu: "Its this one on Firepower Chinese Network, by Spicy Noodles, Three Realms. All very good reads and regularly updated." "Oh, this one." Lu Xiaobu shrugged: "Ive read it." Not only had he read it, but he also had the author locked up in a little black room. "Dont be smug. With your character, Lu Xiaobu, if youve read it, wouldnt you have tipped?" Zhou Jingyuan rolled her eyes: "Im not asking for anything, just for you to tip the author after you read it, to show some support." "Why dont you tip?" Lu Xiaobu countered. "Can I be like you? Youre not short of money, I can only support the author in my own way." Zhou Jingyuan declared with righteousness: "Go read it, tip quickly after! Let me tell you, at least an Alliance Hierarch!" "Great, now I get it, your recommendation is basically a raid on the rich." Lu Xiaobu was speechless. "Exactly! Were raiding the rich. You dont have to read it, just go tip. Remember to write down this ladys name!" Zhou Jingyuan said with her hands on her hips. "Hey, youre acting like a bandit." Lu Xiaobu said in annoyance: "Why should I write your name when I tip!" When Lu heard what Zhou Jingyuan said, he became indignant: "If youre not going to tip, then dont. I have other ways." Upon hearing Zhou Jingyuans words, Lu Xiaobu grew interested. What is this little hot pepper up to? "Come everyone, pay attention here, look this way." Zhou Jingyuan walked up to the podium, tapped the desk, and asked: "How many of you are reading Three Realms?" Hearing Zhou Jingyuans question, the boys in the class surprisingly all raised their hands. "That many." Lu Xiaobu was surprised. Since when did this flop of a novel gather so many readers? "Alright then, just now Young Master Bu here gave each of you a thousand bucks." Zhou Jingyuan continued: "Im not asking for much. You each put in a hundred, lets start a betting pool on what happens next in the plot. Whoever guesses right gets to split half of the pot, and the other half well tip the author, how about that?" The students of Class Six, after hearing Zhou Jingyuans words, thought about it and all agreed. "I agree, the money was a reward from Young Master Bu anyway, I havent tipped for reading the novel." "I agree too, the author really has it tough, I heard it almost stopped updating at one point, but they toughed it out." "..." Listening to the students consensus, Zhou Jingyuan looked at Lu Xiaobu with satisfaction. Hmpf, you wont tip, I have other ways to tip. After all, its your money, hehe! Thinking thus, she began to write several choices on the podium. "Now isnt the protagonist being wrongly accused by the villain, and then successfully counterattacking?" "Based on my prediction, there are probably the following developments." Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "The first one, the protagonist kills his enemy in front of everyone despite others attempts to stop him." "The second one, the protagonist gives face on the surface, but then kills his enemy at night." "The third one, someone pleads for the villain, the protagonist doesnt kill the villain, but instead breaks all his limbs." "Do you guys have anything to add?" Zhou Jingyuan asked after laying out the three potential plot developments. "No more!" Everyone shook their heads, indicating they had no other guesses. Lu Xiaobu nodded secretly as he looked at the options; in fact, he had only thought of these three scenarios before seeing the answer. It seems Zhou Jingyuan really likes this novel, huh! But... None of those three answers are correct. After all, he almost sprained his back when he first saw that plot twist unfold! His thoughts aside, the students from Class 6 had already started placing bets. Fifty percent of them chose the first option, while the remaining fifty percent were evenly split between the other two. The bets were placed. Now, less than ten minutes remained before the latest Chapter was released. "Lu Xiaobu, arent you going to place a bet?" Zhou Jingyuan looked at Lu Xiaobu provocatively: "Didnt you say youve read it?" "Do you really want me to bet?" Lu Xiaobu smiled. "Of course, Im just afraid you dont dare." Zhou Jingyuans provocation was full-on. "Fine, but if I win, you have to agree to do something for me, deal?" Lu Xiaobu smirked. "You!" Zhou Jingyuan ground her teeth and stomped her feet in anger, knowing that Lu Xiaobu was definitely up to no good. But after some thought, she laughed: "Okay, I agree, but your bet isnt just one hundred yuan, its an Alliance Hierarch." She was one hundred percent certain in her heart that Lu Xiaobu had definitely not read the novel. After all, given Lu Xiaobus nature, if he had read it, how could he possibly not tip! Thinking she would be intimidated? How could that be possible? "Brilliant!" Lu Xiaobu chuckled. "Place your bet. Youre bound to lose!" Zhou Jingyuan was full of confidence. "I wont choose any of these three options; I have a new onethe villain kills the protagonist!" Lu Xiaobu said. "Psh," Zhou Jingyuan rolled her eyes: "Youre just causing trouble! The villain killing the main character, do you think the protagonists halo is for nothing?" It wasnt just her; the students from Class 6 were all speechless. "Young Master Bu, really, you should bet with me! Just on the first one, its a sure win." "Yeah, Young Master Bu, you might be new to reading novels, but the possibility youre suggesting cant exist!" "If the main character dies, whats the point of writing the novel?" "..." Listening to the advice around her, Zhou Jingyuans eyes rolled, and with a lightning-fast motion, she quickly wrote down the option Lu Xiaobu mentioned: "Lu Xiaobu bets an Alliance Hierarch on the protagonist being killed by the villain!" The corners of her mouth revealed a sly, fox-like smile. Lu Xiaobu, youre bound to lose! Originally, if you had bet on one of those three options, I might have lost! But now... Im certain to win! Seeing Zhou Jingyuans fait accompli, the rest of the class sighed. Young Master Bu got duped again! Yet, Lu Xiaobu remained silent with a smile, even beginning to imagine the scene about to unfold. Ten minutes passed quickly. The results were in! Chapter 69 Isn’t it just about getting a room [Please favorite, please recommend] Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Isnt it just about getting a room [Please favorite, please recommend]Under Zhou Jingyuans confident anticipation... "Updated." Li Qiang, who had been refreshing his phone, immediately shouted. Everyone hurriedly took out their phones and opened the website! One minute later! "Holy crap!" A synchronous exclamation echoed through Class 6. What the hell? The villain killed the protagonist? What the f*ck is this? Is the author insane? Why would the protagonist get killed? "How could this be? Is the author sick?!" Zhou Jingyuan exploded in anger: "How could anyone write such a plot?" *Cough cough cough* "Have you guys forgotten something? I won this bet, right?" Lu Xiaobu coughed twice, revealing a sly smile. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, everyone else remembered! Right! They were still betting! But they all lost, and there was only one winner. Young Master Bu! "Oh my God! Young Master Bu, how did you guess this plot twist?" Li Qiang, looking at the fourth option on the blackboard which only Young Master Bu had bet on, said in shock. The rest of the class also started exclaiming. sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yeah, right! Young Master Bu, can you tell fortunes?" "Young Master Bu, youre so awesome! How did you guess it? Young Master Bu, read my fortune for me!" "So Young Master Bu has actually watched it, and more carefully than us! To think you could guess this." "Young Master Bu rocks!" "..." Listening to the surprised voices around him, Lu Xiaobu just looked at Zhou Jingyuan with a wicked smile: "Hey hey hey, what are you thinking about? You lost!" Zhou Jingyuans pretty face turned red all the way to her neck. She knew without thinking that what Lu Xiaobu wanted her to do must be that sort of thing! This Lu Xiaobu is such a hooligan! But she, Zhou Jingyuan, was not someone to go back on her word. Lost is lost! She gritted her teeth: "Fine! I agree!" "No problem." Lu Xiaobu chuckled with an increasingly lecherous expression on his face. Zhou Jingyuan, seeing Lu Xiaobus expression, felt increasingly afraid. This guy wouldnt be thinking of that kind of thing, would he? No way, that would be too much! But then again, she thought about it and only one answer remained! After all, for Lu Xiaobu... She had already given him her kiss... And her facial cleanser... It seemed that only that was left! Her silver teeth were almost crushed. A hint of hatred flashed in her eyes: "Fine, Lu Xiaobu, I admit defeat, lets go! Ill just treat it like a mosquito bite! But Im telling you, I hate you!" The classmates around them, hearing Zhou Jingyuans words. They too felt it was a bit too much. "Young Master Bu, it was just a joke, theres no need to take it this far." "Yeah, Young Master Bu, its just a novel, no need to be that serious!" "Dont be too extreme. It would be bad to ruin the good atmosphere." "..." "Dont say anymore! Im not the type to go back on my word!" Zhou Jingyuan roared: "Isnt it just getting a room? What am I afraid of?!" But after she finished speaking, tears couldnt help but shine in her eyes, and she lowered her head to grab her backpack and was about to leave. For the first time in her life, she was having regrets. But she just couldnt say it. "Get a room?" Lu Xiaobu was completely bewildered: "Damn, I just wanted to ask about your measurements! Why on earth would we get a room?" "Erm..." Zhou Jingyuans footsteps froze in mid-air, her mouth twitching constantly. Her whole body burned hot, as if dripping blood! So it was just that? Seems like she overthought it! "And what the hell are you lot thinking? Where did I go too far?" Lu Xiaobu looked around at the other students and cursed, "Was I really too much?" The students from class six were all wearing embarrassed expressions. "Look, Young Master Bu! Were sorry!" "Its not our fault! What the young lady said really led us to misunderstand!" "Yeah, think about it! Youve been the closest to the young lady recently, and with her saying things like that, how could we not think that way?" "We apologize! We really do!" "..." "Seriously." Lu Xiaobu, who felt wrongly accused, lay his head on the desk with an annoyed expression, "Im done playing, going to sleep! Whatever!" Seeing Lu Xiaobu get angry made all the surrounding students panic! They had no choice but to turn to Zhou Jingyuan! They were out of options! Zhou Jingyuan saw that Lu Xiaobu was angry, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. It seemed like she had wronged Lu Xiaobu. Finally, she pursed her red lips, "Everyone, please leave." Hearing Zhou Jingyuans words, the students scrambled out one after another! Leaving the classroom to the two of them. "Hey, still angry? I said Im sorry, okay?" Zhou Jingyuan, seeing that there was no one else around, walked over to Lu Xiaobu and nudged him. Her tone had a hint of coquettishness, causing her face to flush red with embarrassment! When had she, a tomboy and a young lady, ever shown such girlish behavior? "Tch!" Lu Xiaobu ignored Zhou Jingyuan. Zhou Jingyuan watched Lu Xiaobus reaction, pursed her red lips, and clenched her teeth. After thoroughly making sure that no one else was watching, She moved to Lu Xiaobus back. At that moment, her ear tips turned red, crystal-clear and tempting enough to make one want to nibble on them. She stretched out her arms and just like that, embraced Lu Xiaobu from behind. Lu Xiaobu immediately felt a soft and substantial sensation on his back. That sensation quickly covered half his back! Silky, refreshing, and soft! Exhilarating to the point of bursting! "Are you satisfied now?" The voice of Zhou Jingyuan grinding her teeth came from Lu Xiaobus back, "Still angry?" She didnt know why she would do such a flirtatious, if not demeaning, thing just to please this wastrel. Maybe it was because this wastrel had protected her a few days ago! Maybe it was because this wastrel, despite his playful ways, was incredibly kind-hearted in so many ways! Or maybe it was... Regardless of the reason, She still did it, just to keep this wastrel from getting angry! Could it be that there was really a place for this little wastrel in her heart? "Cough cough cough, not angry, not angry anymore!" Lu Xiaobu accepted his good fortune and immediately started smiling happily! With such benefits in hand, it would be unreasonable to still be angry! "Dont tell anyone about this!" Zhou Jingyuans face still flushed, warned menacingly. Her entire body felt hot and her limbs felt weak! "Dont worry, I wont tell, no way. These are the kind of things you relive in dreams, why would I talk about it?" Lu Xiaobu hurriedly shook his head. "No, you cant even think about it, forget it!" Zhou Jingyuan glared at Lu Xiaobu. "Okay, okay, forgotten, forgotten!" Lu Xiaobu immediately nodded. "Alright, now tell me, how did you guess that kind of storyline? Normally, authors wouldnt dare to write such things for fear of criticism!" Zhou Jingyuan quickly changed the subject to ease the awkwardness! But really, she wanted to know the reason. "The reason is very simple." Lu Xiaobu smiled, "The author of this novel works for me and is currently locked up in the black room. Hes not worried about being criticized. As long as he writes stories that I find interesting, thats all that matters!" "Psh, dont brag without a draft." Zhou Jingyuan rolled her eyes, full of disbelief, "Locked up in a black room, yeah right, why dont you say youre sending knife blades?" "Knife blades? Oh, you mean the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, get to know it." Lu Xiaobu chuckled. "Tell me the truth." Zhou Jingyuan fiercely extended her hand into the starting Dragon Claw Form and placed it near Lu Xiaobus abdomen, "Otherwise you know what will happen." After that little commotion just now, her relationship with Lu Xiaobu seemed to have broken through some boundary, making this kind of playful, intimate tussling quite normal. But... Someone was at the door... "Young Master Bu, young lady..." Chapter 70 This Can’t Be Explained Clearly [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 70: Chapter 70 This Cant Be Explained Clearly [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]As soon as the classroom door opened. The scene of Zhou Jingyuans hand on Lu Xiaobus abdomen appeared in front of everyone. Now the desks that blocked the view turned into something like mosaics. Damn, theres no explaining this! Zhou Jingyuan was stunned! The students outside the door were stunned too! "Um, um, its not what it looks like, carry on, carry on!" The students hurriedly closed the door and ran out. Now theyve gotten into big trouble! But who knew they were doing this kind of thing in there! So domineering! "Carry on my ass! Get in here! Its not what you think!" Zhou Jingyuan was furious. What is even happening! "No, no, no, we have other things, other things to do!" Who dares to come in now! "I said! Get in here!" Zhou Jingyuan shouted angrily. "Alright, alright." The students had no choice but to file in, heads bowed, without looking around. "Let me tell you, just now, I was only punishing Lu Xiaobu, you got that?" Zhou Jingyuan explained. "We get it! We get it! We totally get it! Completely get it!" The students nodded vigorously. "Its not... you... Lu Xiaobu, you explain it!" Zhou Jingyuan was on the verge of a breakdown! Theres no clearing this up now! "Whats there to explain? The more we explain, the messier it gets," shrugged Lu Xiaobu. "Hmph!" Zhou Jingyuan huffed indignantly. Lu Xiaobu was right, there really was no need to explain anymore. Lu Xiaobu casually bestowed ten Alliance Hierarchs on the web novel for Hot Dry Noodles. One Alliance Hierarch costs 100,000 Book Coins. Ten Alliance Hierarchs, thats a million Book Coins. Lu Xiaobu left a comment: "No need to thank me, heres your reader, cutting ties with a single stroke, rewarding you." S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Cutting ties with a single stroke" is Zhou Jingyuans spicy nickname, who knows what she really wants to cut ties with by choosing it. Seeing Lu Xiaobus reward, the fuming Zhou Jingyuan finally showed a satisfied smile. This Lu Xiaobu does know how to show care after all! Meanwhile, the web novel community was shaken by Lu Xiaobus million Book Coins reward. The prodigal Lu Xiaobu has become a million-coin Alliance Hierarch of "Major Shareholder of All Realms," congratulations, congratulations! "My God, amazing!" "Which tycoon has descended upon us?" "A million-coin Alliance Hierarch! Tycoon, need anything hanging on your leg? Im a wizard with laundry and cooking, and if you dont mind, I can even warm your bed." "Scram! You a grown man competing with us girls for the tycoons favor? Have you no shame? Tycoon, I have a loli voice!" "..." Other students in the class were also full of admiration. "Young Master Bu is mighty, dropping a million Book Coins in one go." "Man, this author is surely well-fed now." "Young Master Bu is awesome!" "..." Hot Dry Noodles, who was in the process of feverishly typing, received the notification. "Young Master Bu, whats this about? Suddenly rewarding me?" Hot Dry Noodles was confused. But after he saw the comment, his eyes rolled, and that unique imagination of an author kicked in. "Cutting ties with a single stroke," he remembered, that was a rare female reader... And for the Young Master to reward on behalf of this reader, the relationship between this reader and the Young Master was definitely not ordinary... So... Hot Dry Noodles quickly replied: "Thank you Young Master Xie, thank you sister-in-law!" This comment popped up in everyones view immediately. The other readers were okay, all speculating about what this vague thank-you meant. But... Others were clueless, but the students of Class Six knew. They lowered their heads to glance at this short and powerful comment... Then looked up at Lu Xiaobu and Zhou Jingyuan... Then she thought back to the scene that just occurred... Everyone nodded secretlyirrefutable proof! "Fuck!" Zhou Jingyuan looked at those bastards with gazes that made her feel liverache. She now wanted to kill that author. Fuck your mother! How the hell did you come to that conclusion? ... And at this moment, Li Qiang suddenly said, "Oh right, Young Master Bu, I almost forgot to tell you, we just wanted to let you know that Qianmin sister-in-law is being harassed." After he finished speaking, he froze, his face turning into an awkward grimace: "Er... Miss, did I say something wrong?" "Get lost!" Zhou Jingyuan exploded. Lu Xiaobu took one look and quickly slipped away! Zhou Jingyuan was not someone to mess with right now. Wu Qianmin is being harassed? Go take a look. Arriving at the playground. Many students were gathered in the middle, looking like they were crowding around to watch the excitement. "Quick, havent you seen whos arrived? Make way!" Li Qiang immediately took the lead and shouted. Just like the eunuch who called out announcements when the Emperor traveled in ancient times, doing his duty earnestly. The other 6th class students also rushed in, forcefully squeezing a path three-person wide through the crowded crowd. Specifically for Lu Xiaobu to pass through. In the center of the crowd stood two individuals, one was Wu Qianmin, and the other was a young man that wasnt seen at school before. "Youve arrived." Wu Qianmin saw Lu Xiaobu, immediately running towards him. Hua Wenyans face dropped as he watched the woman he fancied running to Lu Xiaobus side, "Kid, do you know who I am? Competing with me for a woman?" "Im not interested in knowing who you are." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently, "Brothers, tell him who I am." No sooner had he finished speaking than a uniformly shouted call rang out around him. "Young Master Bu, for a thousand generations, a unified Jianghu!" These students didnt care who this person was, for them Lu Xiaobu was the biggest deal now. Hearing the chant, Hua Wenyan suddenly put on a frivolous expression, full of hostility: "So, youre Lu Xiaobu? Didnt expect that other than having no real skills, you do have an eye for women that is worthy to be compared with mine, which fairly impressed me. Alright, let me formally introduce myself, I am..." His demeanor was full of arrogance, exuding a disgustingly superior air. "Like I said, I dont want to know who you are. Brothers, I dislike his pretentious look, throw him out." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. "Yes, Young Master Bu!" The students from Class 6 immediately rolled up their sleeves, glaring at the young man with eager eyes. "Lu Xiaobu, such low-level tactics, you actually use them?" Hua Wenyan was suddenly taken aback. Damn, who the hell does things like this? Resorting to violence without a second thought? Completely lacking the dignity of high society! So, are you a rich second generation or a hoodlum, Lu Xiaobu? "Cut the crap, apologize." Lu Xiaobu pointed at Wu Qianmin, his words couldnt be clearer. "You!" Hua Wenyan glanced at the surrounding students with menacing looks, gritting his teeth. He somewhat regretted not bringing his bodyguards with him. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. "Fine, I apologize. I was indeed too presumptuous with the lady." With clenched teeth, Hua Wenyan decided to apologize to avoid a beating! He didnt expect that before an official confrontation with Lu Xiaobu even started, he was already falling behind! Not only did he fail to win the woman over, but he was also forced to apologize! This caused his already existing hostility toward Lu Xiaobu to intensify. The students around all smirked. "See what you get for showing off, this is Shimen First Middle School." "Got slapped in the face, huh? Mocking Young Master Bu." "Young Master Bu is invincible!" "..." "Humph humph." Wu Qianmins round chin tilted slightly upwards, she gave a cold snort looking at Hua Wenyan who was previously arrogant, "Thats for being pretentious." She was very happy in her heart, Xiaobu was the best. However, it was clear that this was just a minor interlude, it seems Hua Wenyans real target was Lu Xiaobu all along! Chapter 71 Newcomer Rich List [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Newcomer Rich List [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]Hua Wenyan took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and once again resumed that superior demeanor: "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hua Wenyan, I am the general manager of the largest novel website in the country, Firepower Chinese Novel Network." Hearing Hua Wenyans introduction. The students who were mocking him just now suddenly gasped. "Hes the general manager of Firepower Chinese Network?!" "No way, thats terrifying. In other words, the novels we read are all written by his employees?" "Oh my god, hes a big shot! And we almost got into a fight with him just a moment ago?" "..." Hearing the exclamations around him, Hua Wenyan let out a cold laugh. These migrant workers finally realized the gap between them and him. He looked at Lu Xiaobu, looking forward to seeing the reaction on Lu Xiaobus face. "Oh." But Lu Xiaobu just nodded indifferently. The authors who were locked in the small black room also belonged to this website. Seeing Lu Xiaobus bland reaction. A sense of frustration surged in Hua Wenyans heart. It felt like punching a cotton ball, an incredibly suffocating feeling. "I wont waste words with you. I came here today to see for myself what someone nominated alongside me for the Newcomer Rich List is really made of. Now it seems that there is really no need for me to come." Hua Wenyan said sarcastically: "After seeing the nominees for this Newcomer Rich List, its definitely going to be mine!" He sneered in his heartAfter hearing the term Newcomer Rich List, lets see if you can keep up the act. "Newcomer Rich List? What is that thing?" Lu Xiaobu was surprised. "Me!" Hua Wenyan felt so distressed that he wanted to vomit blood. What in the world does this Lu Xiaobu do? Even nominated for the Newcomer Rich List and he still doesnt know what the list is? "No way! Lu Xiaobu, you were nominated for the Newcomer Rich List? Are those guys blind?" Zhou Jingyuans surprised voice came from behind, she quickly pulled out her phone to check, then cried out in amazement: "You really were nominated! And the other nominee is the son of the boss of Firepower Chinese Network, Hua Wenyan. Lu Xiaobu, youre amazing!" "So what exactly is that thing?" asked Lu Xiaobu. "The Newcomer Rich List is a smaller list that leads to the actual Rich List, and everyone on the list is a remarkable figure." Zhou Jingyuan explained excitedly: "Once you enter this list, its not just a matter of reputation, but also about getting the attention of the big shots, and they might even give you preferences on certain projects." "To put it simply, as long as you can get on the Newcomer Rich List, youre basically opening the door to wealth! You are now a social elite! The live voting event is being broadcast right now!" The surrounding students were also incredibly excited. "No way, thats awesome?" "I go to class every day with the social elite Young Master Bu? Im so blessed!" "Young Master Bu is mighty and overpowering!" "Hurry, hurry, lets watch the live broadcast." "..." "Boring." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "If there was a list of prodigal sons, I might be interested, but this? Forget it. Can I withdraw?" Everyone collapsed. The very thing countless people dream of, and you want to withdraw? "Xiaobu." Wu Qianmin immediately tried to persuade: "Think about Uncle Lu and the others, they would probably be very happy if you make it onto the list." "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment: "Fine, I wont withdraw." "Actually, I advise you its better to withdraw, at least that way you can keep some dignity." Hua Wenyan mocked with full confidence. ... Meanwhile. On the TV live broadcast. The highly anticipated "Newcomer Rich List" was being broadcast live. There were three judges sitting at the hosts table. They were... Professional Rich List accountantWang Aide. The current number one on the Newcomer Rich ListShi Jinhao. And the famous economist Tao Aijun, who was cursed by Lu Xiaobu on "Genius or Idiot" last time. Wang Aide: "Hello everyone, Im here to announce the assets of these two nominees for the Newcomer Rich List. Hua Wenyans current wealth indexthirteen million. Lu Xiaobus current wealth indexthirteen million five hundred thousand." The calculation of the Rich List in this world is quite strict. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Its not that you have five million you have an index of five million. They have their own set of algorithms, which consider your costs, family Strength, personal Power, and so on. Some nouveau riche may even end up with a negative index after the calculations. So this index is absolutely correct. Shi Jinhao: "These two people are pretty close. Didnt expect that Lu Xiaobu, who is always talking about wasting his familys wealth, actually has a higher index than Hua Wenyan." Tao Aijun: "Its not over yet! Besides, if the difference is just one-tenth, we still have to take a comprehensive look." Shi Jinhao: "It seems that Professor Tao doesnt like Lu Xiaobu, you always speak for Hua Wenyan." Tao Aijun: "No, Im just being fair and impartial. Now, let me connect with the two nominees by phone. Please connect Hua Wenyans phone." Beep The call connected. Hua Wenyan was in the midst of mocking Lu Xiaobu. At this moment, his phone rang. Hua Wenyan quickly answered it. At that moment, the usually arrogant Hua Wenyan appeared extremely humble, constantly agreeing with Tao Aijun on the other end of the phone. "..." "Alright, alright, thank you, Professor." "..." "I will definitely pay attention." ... After hanging up, Hua Wenyan, with his nose in the air, said to Lu Xiaobu: "See? The judge called me first. You dont stand a chance." ... At the TV station. Tao Aijun: "When I called Hua Wenyan just now, everyone heard it, hes quite humble, I have a good impression of him so far." Shi Jinhao: "Professor Tao, you arent biased towards Hua Wenyan because of your previous conflict with Lu Xiaobu, are you? Thats too much!" Tao Aijun: "How could that be? As a judge, I will definitely remain fair and impartial. Alright, its time to call Lu Xiaobu." He sneered inside, fair and impartial? How could that be? He hadnt forgotten the incident where Lu Xiaobu made him lose face in front of the national audience last time! Although Hua Wenyans index is lower right now, he has already decided to do everything to support Hua Wenyan! Beep The call is connecting... Hearing Lu Xiaobus phone ringing, Zhou Jingyuan who was next to Lu Xiaobu suddenly exclaimed: "Not good, I forgot, the judge is Tao Aijun! Xiaobu, you have to remember, dont curse..." But before she could finish... Lu Xiaobu picked up the phone: "Hey, Tao Aijun, you *sshole, f*ck off!" The phone hung up. Not until that moment did Zhou Jingyuan finish her sentence: "...him!" At this moment... Everyone on both ends of the phone fell into silence! One second... Two seconds... Three seconds... Chapter 72: Is Lu Xiaobu Doomed? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Is Lu Xiaobu Doomed? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]After the calm comes the storm. After the silence comes the eruption. So, after hearing Lu Xiaobus relentless cursing, after three seconds of silence... It exploded! TV station. Tao Aijuns face turned green with anger, his hands under the table almost crushed the sofa armrest! This Lu Xiaobu, he cursed him again! This was the second time! And in front of the national audience too! Too much! Way too much! Shi Jinhao frowned, "It seems Lu Xiaobu has a really bad temper!" Tao Aijun, gritting his teeth, said, "You see! This is the real face of Lu Xiaobu, I suggest disqualifying such a person! This kind of person doesnt deserve to be on the Newcomer Rich List!" Shi Jinhao rarely nodded, "Character is indeed a consideration, if the final gap remains within 10%, I will vote for Hua Wenyan." ... On Weibo. "Holy! He cursed again, he did it again! This is the second time, right?" "Does Lu Xiaobu not want to continue in the industry? Cursing a judge during the competition?" "You need to know the current index difference isnt big! Just 500,000 apart, Tao Aijun could completely eliminate Lu Xiaobu!" "Its over, its over. Lu Xiaobu is really ruining everything, throwing away such a great opportunity." "You all look, Shi Jinhao even spoke up, Lu Xiaobu is really doomed this time!" "..." Lu Family. Lus father, with a wry smile: "Uh... Xiaobu really does have that temper." Lu Hongbin sighed, "Never mind, if he doesnt make it onto the Newcomer Rich List then so be it!" Lu Wenhuo shook his head bitterly, "I guess our Lu family is going to be scolded again." ... Drunk Love Bar. Liang Lan bitterly smiled, "My Young Master! Ruining things isnt supposed to be done this way! Throwing away such a good opportunity, if people know I, Tian Jilan, work for you, I guess Ill be laughed to death!" ... Liu Family. Liu Changlong, reflecting on his actions, burst into laughter, thrilled, "Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, you really are an idiot, cutting off your own retreat! This really makes me happy!" "Although you snatched away my energy drink project, now seeing you fail to make it to the Newcomer Rich List, I feel somewhat avenged, hahaha!" ... Zhang Family. Zhang Benhus mouth twitched, "This Young Master Bu, really does things..." Zhang Wenliang helplessly said, "Maybe Young Master Bu simply looks down on those things!" Zhang Benhu: "Get lost, Im called Young Master, are you also called Young Master?" ... Shimen First Middle School. "Lu! Xiaobu!" Zhou Jingyuan burst out angrily, "Tao Aijun is the judge for this selection! Cant you speak properly? If he eliminates you, then what?" Wu Qianmin also said frustratedly, "You really... Im so angry I dont even know what to say! Both judges are not supporting you now, youre totally doomed! Happy now?" Lu Xiaobu shrugged, "Doesnt matter. Calling such a dumbass and daring to phone me? He was asking for it! I just fulfilled his wish!" Beside him, Hua Wenyan almost laughed till he cried, "Hahahaha! No wonder they call you a prodigal son, you really are one! To reject such things, looks like my coming here to monitor you was completely unnecessary! Hahahaha!" ... Now, anyone who was paying attention to the Newcomer Rich List had lost hope for Lu Xiaobu, who dug his own grave. The gap was originally not big, and Lu Xiaobu cursed the judges in front of a national audience, thats really courting death! Lu Xiaobus name as a prodigal was thoroughly confirmed! Unless Lu Xiaobu can suddenly turn the tables and widen the gap to more than ten percent, hes definitely lost! And this ten percent in the index means Lu Xiaobu needs to earn at least ten million more in this short period! Thats just impossible! After people had their answers, they stopped paying attention to the "Newcomer Rich List" and went to look at other news instead. ... And at this time, a piece of news caught everyones attention. "The Lucky Little Angel Has Awakened" The article talks about the child whom Lu Xiaobu saved last time, who has finally woken up. There is also a video in the news, showing the adorable child waking up, as well as the heart-wrenchingly joyful scene of the childs fatherXu Bin. Of course, they did not forget the great benefactor who saved their familyLu Xiaobu. Soon, this heartwarming action was widely shared, commented, and liked by everyone. It quickly surpassed the "Newcomer Rich List" in popularity. Netizens also commented. "Seeing the childs smile really warms my heart! If it werent for Lu Xiaobu initially, todays comedy could have turned into a tragedy!" "So much parental love! I cant imagine what todays weather would be like if Lu Xiaobu hadnt been there at the beginning." "Although Lu Xiaobu is a profligate son, his kindness is beyond words." "Yes, in this regard, no one is allowed to doubt!" "..." In the hospital. Amidst the emotional voices of doctors and reporters... Xu Bin squatted in front of the hospital bed and said seriously to his son, "Xiaohu, your life was saved by a big brother. Daddy wants us to thank this big brother together, will you come?" Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaohu nodded vigorously, "Yes, I want to go! I want to thank the big brother!" "Good son." Xu Bin smiled with relief, then picked up Xu Xiaohu and headed straight to the Night Drunken Bar. He didnt know where Young Master Bu lived, nor did he know his current whereabouts. But he always remembered the Night Drunken Bar mentioned by Young Master Bu on the highway. When the reporters saw there was a follow-up to the news, they immediately followed. Such heartwarming and positive energy news naturally faced no obstacles, with every TV station giving it the green light. In no time, the viewership of this news even surpassed the nationally followed "Newcomer Rich List." "Xiaohu, this is the place. Big brother hasnt arrived yet, shall we wait here, okay?" Xu Bin held his son at the entrance of the yet-to-open Night Drunken Bar. "Yes! Daddy, I want to get down." Xu Xiaohu stretched out his little hand to wipe the sweat from Xu Bins face, asking to get down. Seeing this scene. Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Many people were moved. "Hes such a good child! He even knows his father is tired and asks to get down by himself." "Prayers and thanks to heavens, thank you Lu Xiaobu, for saving such a good child." "Not for anything else, just for this, I saylong live Lu Xiaobu!" "..." Liang Lan was inside the bar planning the actions Young Master would take after not making it to the Newcomer Rich List, when she heard the noisy chattering at the door. After checking online, she quickly went out to open the bars doors: "Come in and sit, Young Master Bu has not returned yet." "No, well just wait here," Xu Bin replied with a shy smile. "Young Master Bu has been a great benefactor to us, providing so much kindness, we should not overstep!" "Ah, its just sitting, wont the kid sit either? The child has just recovered." Liang Lan, looking at Xiaohus somewhat frail face, became anxious. "Big sister, its okay, Im not tired. Ill just wait here for big brother," Xu Xiaohu said with a smile. That smile was so pure, so heartwarming. "Alright, Xu Bin, give the child something to drink first. Dont worry, this cola costs money." Liang Lan, feeling helpless, quickly took out two bottles of cola and handed them over. Then she hurriedly called Young Master Bu. Upon hearing Liang Lans words and looking at the child, Xu Bin reluctantly did not refuse. But he opened only one bottle and handed it to Xiaohu. Xiaohu took the cola, took a small sip, and his big innocent eyes instantly lit up with surprise and desire: "So tasty!" Then he handed the cola to Xu Bin: "Daddy, you drink too, its really good." At this moment, this extremely heartwarming and beautifully captured scene became the best advertisement, broadcast across the country through the camera! Cola, once again, became a sensation! Sales exploded! Along with it, the indices of the Newcomer Wealth List began to skyrocket rapidly! Chapter 73: Slap in the Face? No, This is Kicking the Face [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Slap in the Face? No, This is Kicking the Face [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]As the attention on Xu Bin and his sons news reached a climax, everyones hearts melted. "Good kid, good kid, youve moved me to tears." "Im drinking cola right now. Just a moment ago, it felt refreshingly cool, but now it makes me feel warmth in my heart. So comfortable!" "No, I must go buy a bottle... no, a case of cola. Young Master Bu saved such a good child, Ill drink his beverage with peace of mind." "Thats right, thats right, Im also going to buy some. From now on, I wont drink any other beverage, cola is my only choice!" "..." So, cola distributors across the country experienced an explosion in sales! Countless men and women, wiping their tears, went into supermarkets to buy cola. Those who could, bought by the case, and those who could not still bought three to five bottles! Lu Family. Lu Hongbins phone was blown up with calls. This is what he said at first. "Hello? What? You want a thousand cases of cola? Alright, alright, Ill arrange for a delivery right away." "What, you want two thousand cases? Okay, Ill arrange it right away." ... A minute later, he was saying this. "A thousand cases? No more, no more, we cant produce that much. What? Five hundred cases? We dont have that either, at most a hundred cases to tide you over!" ... Five minutes later, he changed his tune again. "All gone, all gone, really all gone. Not a single bottle left! What? You want to pay extra? Its not about the money, we truly have none left!" "You want to pay a deposit? No need, no need, we have too many deposits already, and we dont even know when well be able to produce the goods." ... Lu Wenhao was on the side, smiling wryly: "Brother, stop talking, theyve already transferred the money." "What kind of people are these? Insisting on giving money? Weve said no already. Really!" That was the first time in his life Lu Hongbin ever got mad because people were giving him money. What the hell is this! Lus father clutched his chest and asked, "How much did we take in?" Wenhaos mouth twitched: "Just the deposits alone are over eight million now, and thats just the deposits!" Lus father took a few breaths to recover: "You scared me to death. Ive been in business my whole life and never seen such madness. Good deeds really do bring good fortune!" Lu Hongbin hung up another call and said helplessly: "I feel like my heart is getting a workout. Just a moment ago we were saying Xiaobu wouldnt make it onto the Newcomer Rich List, but now the money is pouring in!" Wenhao looked up at the live broadcast of the "Newcomer Rich List," a smile playing on his lips: "What were they saying just now?" ... Liu Family. Liu Changlong kicked over a table: "What the fuck, this works too? Damn it, Hua Wenyan, you idiot, getting easily crushed by Xiaobu! Shit! Shit! Shit!" ... Zhang Family. "Um..." Zhang Benhu was silent. "Um..." Zhang Wenliang was silent. Zhang Benhu: "A god?" Zhang Wenliang: "Yes! A god!" Zhang Benhu: "Wenliang, kowtow to your uncle, it might keep you safe!" Zhang Wenliang, without a second word, knocked his head on the ground three times: "Uncle, your big nephew is kowtowing to you here! Youve got to make sure I stay safe!" ... On Weibo. "Ha ha ha, awesome! Screw those bastards trying to outdo Young Master Bu!" "Young Master Bu is the man! Happy to see such a conscientious person rise to the top!" "Im off to buy two more bottles of cola to help widen the gap for Young Master!" "Ill join you, Ill join you!" "Holy shit, where are you from that you still have cola? Ill pay double the price, how about getting me a bottle?" "..." At the Newcomer Rich List recording venue. Shi Jinhao and Tao Aijun looked utterly confused as they watched the rapidly rising index. Thirteen million and five hundred thousand... Fourteen million... Fourteen million and five hundred thousand... Fifteen million... The amount kept skyrocketing! The corners of their mouths twitched, feeling as if their hearts could stop at any moment, and their faces burned painfully! Damn it! They had just talked about thwarting Xiaobu, and now he was blatantly using his strength to... no, this was a fierce kick in their faces! Ten percent? Its almost freaking twenty percent now! Their faces were getting kicked swollen! ... By this time, Xiaobu had already learned about the incident at Ye Zuixing Bar and had a video call with Xu Bin and his son. "Benefactor! Xiaohu, kneel down quickly." As soon as Xu Bin saw Xiaobus face, he immediately pulled Xiaohu to kneel down: "Benefactor, Im sorry, I should have come to thank you first thing, I was late. The great kindness and debt youve done for us, I remember it all, and I will pay back every penny you spent for us." "Get up quickly." Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said, "Im not counting on you to repay me, get up now!" "No, Young Master Bu, well definitely pay back, we really will," Xu Bin insisted forcefully. "Alright, alright, its up to you," Xiaobu waved his hand and said, "Sister Lan, you deal with it. Today, didnt they just run an ad for us? Make sure to pay them for the advertisement." "Yes, Young Master," Liang Lan smiled. She had already clearly understood Young Master Bus intention! Xiaobu had already ended the video call. "Now, they may come in, right? Young Master Bu has met with them," Liang Lan said with a smile. "Yes!" Xu Bin nodded with embarrassment: "Thank you, could you please let us know how we should repay the debt?" "Repay the debt? You have already repaid it," Liang Lan pretended to be surprised. "Ah?" Xu Bin looked completely baffled. At that moment, Liang Lan took out a card and continued to smile: "Theres two hundred thousand in this card, thats the remuneration left after fully repaying your debt." She was fully aware of the principle of bearing a jewel that invites theft, hence two hundred thousand was just the right amount. "No! No! No! No, thats not right, I clearly owe Young Master Bu money, how can you be giving me money instead?" Xu Bin was even more bewildered and hurriedly refused the money. He vividly remembered Young Master Bu not only covering their medical expenses but also scrapping a luxury sports car, as well as compensating those kind-hearted drivers! He had calculated these expenses in the past two days; it would amount to at least four or five million. He had been preparing to move mountains like Yu Gong in order to repay the debt! But now, not only did he no longer need to repay, but he was also receiving moneyhow could this be possible? "Its true, just take it! The advertisement you just did for us has already repaid your debt. The direct profit that advertisement brought Young Master Bu is already twenty million, not to mention the subsequent indirect profits!" Liang Lan smiled: "This is Young Master Bus wish, you see." "No, no, no, there must be some mistake," Xu Bin still couldnt believe it. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If you dont believe it, you can ask these reporters," Liang Lan suggested, pointing at the reporters. The reporters also nodded in agreement. They thought to themselves that Young Master Bus kindness was undeniable. If it were any other businessman, they would have seized the advantage, but Young Master Bu was giving money instead. Thats the difference! So, they all persuaded him. "Thats right, just take it." "Take it, indeed, youve already finished repaying." "Moreover, if you dont accept it, Young Master Bu might be unhappy, you know." "..." After half a day of refusing, persuading, and even threatening with Young Master Bu, Xu Bin finally accepted the money. "Thank you, thank you, thank you..." Tears could no longer be held back in Xu Bins eyes as he continuously thanked, and solemnly said to Xu Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, remember, your life was given by Young Master Bu, he is our benefactor for a lifetime!" "Yes! I remember! I will remember for my whole life!" Xiaohu nodded vigorously. While everyone was overjoyed on this side, the expression of the extremely arrogant Hua Wenyan wasnt looking so good! Chapter 74: The Truly Awesome, Don’t Pretend [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Truly Awesome, Dont Pretend [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Shimen First Middle School. Previously, brimming with confidence and full of mockery towards Lu Xiaobu, Hua Wenyan is now utterly dumbfounded by the complete reversal of the situation! How is this possible? Are you kidding me? Just a few minutes and the whole situation has turned upside down? From a scene where he was sure to advance, to one where he is completely crushed? Zhou Jingyuan watches this unbelievable scene and feels a bit... well, never mind, she doesnt have them. What is going on? Lu Xiaobu outright scolds the judges... Just when everyone in the Heavenly Dynasty thought Lu Xiaobu was sure to lose... Then, just like that, he wins in a confused haze! This is really screwing the pooch! The surrounding students exploded. "Young Master Bu is invincible! What a comeback, awesome!" "Young Master Bu is awesome! Easily thrashing the showoffs! What can the judges do? You scold, but still get your face slapped!" "Good people receive good karma! Young Master Bu is unbeatable!" "..." Wu Qianmin also jumps and laughs joyfully: "Xiaobu, we won! Hahaha, we won!" They are all excited, but Lu Xiaobu is disinterested. "Boring." Lu Xiaobu yawns. He really has no interest in the Newcomer Rich List. Seeing this, Li Qiang immediately tells Hua Wenyan: "See that? Truly awesome people never show off! Young Master Bu doesnt even consider you worthy to be his opponent." "En? Well said. Reward, five thousand." Lu Xiaobu immediately cheers up. Listen to that, how pleasing to the ears! Truly awesome people never show off. "Thank you, Young Master Xiaobu!" Li Qiang is thrilled. "Li Qiang, how about working with me from now on?" Lu Xiaobu strokes his chin and says, "Salary ten thousand, tips extra." This Li Qiang is a talent! Spouting bootlicking phrases, cheeky remarks, and face-slapping retorts comes effortlessly to him, having such a person around is really comfortable! "Ah?" A rush of ecstasy floods Li Qiangs heart: "Really?!" "Would you like to?" "Would! Would! Most certainly! I, Li Qiang, pledge to climb mountains and dive seas for Young Master Bu, to exhaust myself in service until death!" Li Qiang immediately pledges loyalty! "Lu Xiaobu, dont be too smug too soon, I havent lost yet! Let me show you my backup plan!" Hua Wenyan stares intently at Lu Xiaobu, pausing between each word. He pulls out his phone and makes a call: "Hello, I am Hua Wenyan." "President Hua." Hua Wenyan: "Now, immediately announce the list of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, push it across all websites and platforms for me!" "But, President Hua, the cost..." Hua Wenyan grits his teeth and says: "No buts! This is an order!" "Yes!" Hua Wenyan ends the call, smirking at Lu Xiaobu: "Did you really think I wasnt prepared? I came here to watch you so I could activate my backup plan at the first opportunity, to avoid being caught off guard!" "Backup plan?" Lu Xiaobu shows a bit of interest. "Yes, the backup plan." Hua Wenyan regains confidence, looking down at Lu Xiaobu and says: "I saw your donation records on our website, and I must say you have an eye for talent, spotting our recently unearthed Divine Book." "But what you saw were only two or three books, but in fact, I have unearthed twelve Divine Books." "I had organized it all before I came here, giving them a new titleTwelve Heavenly Kings." "Ive already initiated this plan, and now the entire network is promoting these twelve new books." "No matter how well your tea sells, its limited by supply, so your rise is limited." "And I, my Twelve Heavenly Kings, will bring me an endless stream of profits wherever theres internet." "So, youre doomed to lose!" As soon as his words fell, during the live broadcast, Hua Wenyans index, which was originally lagging behind Lu Xiaobu, suddenly started to soar rapidly. The speed was so fast that it was even faster than Lu Xiaobus previous burst! "Hahahaha!" Hua Wenyan let out a mad laugh: "The final winner is me!" Zhou Jingyuan hurriedly took out her phone and opened a website to check: "The Twelve Heavenly Kings? Oh my, why are all the recommended spots on the entire website occupied by these twelve books?" Suddenly, she felt a wave of regret; she had even had Lu Xiaobu make a donation earlier. Looking at it now, wasnt that just aiding the enemy? She felt somewhat guilty towards Lu Xiaobu. ... TV station. Tao Aijun jumped up excitedly: "Great, just crush them! I knew Lu Xiaobu wouldnt be up to it!" Shi Jinhao coughed: "Ahem, ahem, Teacher Tao, this is live, live, everyone is watching." ... Liu Family. Liu Changlong laughed: "Hahaha, Hua Wenyan, it seems youre not so useless after all!" ... Zhang Family. Zhang Benhu: "Uh... Are the younger generations this capable now? To still have a backup plan." ... Lu Family. Lu father: "What? Isnt it, even now we still cant completely crush them?" Lu Hongbin, looking at his phone, touched his chin: "But dad, why do I find the titles of these so-called Twelve Heavenly Kings so familiar?" Lu Wenhuo, being the top student, rolled his eyes: "Familiar indeed! These twelve authors, not missing one, are all right there in the confinement room." Lu father was shocked: "Huh? Are you saying, this backup plan of Hua Wenyans, is actually all in Xiaobus hands? These impressive Twelve Heavenly Kings are actually Xiaobus people?" Lu Wenhuo smiled and said: "Exactly, Hua Wenyan really shot himself in the foot! The more popular the Twelve Heavenly Kings become, the benefits are all Xiaobus, not Hua Wenyans!" Lu Hongbin: "Hahahaha! Cant help it, I cant hold it in anymore, hahahaha! Xiaobu is too awesome!" ... Confinement room. A group of authors couldnt concentrate on writing anymore. Fenglei Zaojiu: "Oh my god, I became one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings?" Love to Eat Hot Dry Noodles: "Me too! Whats going on?" Irritable Shrimp: "Could it be the website glitching? How else could we ever get such a title?" A Meter and A Half Old: "I think Ive figured out the problem. Just look at the Newcomer Rich List." Moments later. "I see." Everyone suddenly understood. Love to Eat Hot Dry Noodles: "What do we do? We were brought up by Young Master, we cant help others attack him." Fenglei Zaojiu: "How about we go on an indefinite hiatus?" Everyone nodded. "I think so!" "Agreed!" "Approved!" "..." And Lu Xiaobu, looking at the list of the Twelve Heavenly Kings on his phone, couldnt help but twitch his mouth: "Is this your impressive backup plan?" "Scared now? If you kneel and beg me now, I might still be able to give you some face." Hua Wenyan sneered, full of arrogance! Actually, this list of the Twelve Heavenly Kings was supposed to be released at the end of the year. That would have been the time when costs were lowest and profits were highest. Pushing it now actually meant taking a bit of a loss to generate hype; the profits couldnt reach the highest! But now, for the sake of the Newcomer Rich List, he couldnt care less! Under this cost-ignoring promotion, Hua Wenyans index was rapidly climbing! Well, then... Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. One minute after the Twelve Heavenly Kings were released... They all published a statement. "Indefinite Hiatus Notice." Chapter 75 Alas, No One Believes the Truth [Extra - for Every 1000 Recommendation Votes] Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Alas, No One Believes the Truth [Extra Chapter for Every 1000 Recommendation Votes]As soon as the list of the Twelve Heavenly Kings came out, the entire Huoli Chinese Web went mad! Readers were frantically flocking to these twelve books. "Damn, the Twelve Heavenly Kings? Thats so awesome? Im gonna check it out!" "Feels so good to ask, why didnt I discover these before?" "Hahaha, Ive long discovered these great books!" "..." But the authors were frantically spamming in their groups. "What the hell? When did this happen?" "Suddenly theres a Twelve Heavenly Kings?" "Is this a mistake? The top bestselling author hasnt made the list?" "Must be some rigging involved!" "Definitely rigging!" "..." Then, the next second. An "Indefinite Hiatus Notice" appeared in each of the Heavenly Kings books. Readers freaked out! "Holy shit! What the hell? Just as I started reading, its on indefinite hiatus?" "Whats going on? With such a promotion, shouldnt there be more updates instead of a hiatus? Is the site toying with us?" "What kind of sneaky move is this? Such a unified action, could there be an issue with the site?" "Trash books, trash authors, trash site, Im done reading!" "..." The authors freaked out too! "Are these the Twelve Heavenly Kings or Twelve Lunatics?" "Who even plays like this?" "But why did they all simultaneously publish almost identical announcements?" "..." ... At the Liu Family. Liu Changlong covered his head; he couldnt speak anymore, his head was throbbing with pain. ... At the Zhang Family. Zhang Benhu: "Wenliang, go get some incense sticks, lets pray to the gods!" Zhang Wenliang: "Ive already got them, Dad, lets kowtow." ... At the Lu Family. "Pfft, hahahaha! That guys trying to show off!" Lu Hongbin clutched his stomach and laughed loudly: "Compete with Xiaobu? He wouldnt even know how he died!" ... Others were just shocked, unable to believe it. But Hua Wenyan of Shimen First Middle School was completely petrified! Echoing in his ears was the companys report from just a moment ago! Indefinite hiatus? An indefinite hiatus for all twelve books? What the hell is this?! Their no-costs-spared approach turned into a total loss? The Twelve Heavenly Kings became Twelve Jokes? He felt as if his face was slapped twelve times, his face swelling up like a pigs head! And it wasnt just his face getting slapped, but his wealth index too! The previously soaring index was now like someone was kicking it downwards, rapidly declining! He completely lost! This seasons Newcomer Rich List was destined to be Xiaobus! "Xiaobu..." Zhou Jingyuan was stammering, looking at Xiaobu in disbelief: "How on earth did you do it?" "Didnt I tell you, I have all those authors locked up in my homes little black room. They write novels for me every day, no meals if they dont write." Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders: "Nowadays, telling the truth and no one believes it!" "Really?" Zhou Jingyuan believed it! She had no choice but to believe! Otherwise, how could she explain the synchronized hiatus of the newly apotheosized Twelve Heavenly Kings? The surrounding students were also watching incredulously. They believed it too! They had no choice but to believe! Young Master Bu was terrifying! So frickin cool! Actually got the Twelve Heavenly Kings locked in the little black room! Looking at the whole world, you couldnt find a second person this badass! "Young Master Bu is the true god!" Li Qiang immediately shouted out loud, fully playing his part. "Young Master Bu is the true god!" The students immediately started chanting. ... TV station. Right now, the TV station is a giant bolded EMBARRASSMENT! Shi Jinhaos face is full of embarrassment: "Cough cough, well, Teacher Tao, can you give us your analysis?" Tao Aijuns face is red as a monkeys butt: "Analysis? This... that..." He feels like he has lost all face in his life! Started by saying Hua Wenyan would definitely win, only to be brutally face-slapped! Then on live TV he said Lu Xiaobu was no good, and got face-slapped again! How could he possibly continue to analyze anything? What the hell is there to analyze! Shi Jinhao is also extremely uncomfortable: "Uh, cough cough cough... How about Teacher Tao, you give Mr. Lu Xiaobu another call?" Hes now the number one on the Newcomer Rich List and has to call Lu Xiaobu Mister! No way around it, hes scared! Hes afraid hell get his face smacked too; his skins just too thin for it! Tao Aijun gritted his teeth, thought for a moment: "Alright!" Theres really no other way now. This show is not like the previous local stations "Genius or Idiot", if this show turns into a joke. His whole life would basically... be over in the financial circles! Beep The call connects. "Hello, you dumbass, looking for another scolding?" Everyone at the TV station and all the viewers could hear Lu Xiaobus voice echoing. "Cough cough cough, um, Young Master Bu! It seems certain that you will rise in the Newcomer Rich List. As the victor, do you have anything to say?" Tao Aijun automatically filtered out Lu Xiaobus insults, not responding in kind. And he used all the honorifics, with "Young Master" and "you"! "Yep, not bad." If someone doesnt hit a smiling face, upon hearing Tao Aijuns flattering words, he couldnt be bothered to scold anymore. "So, Young Master Bu, could you say a few words?" Tao Aijun wiped some sweat, thankfully, thankfully! Apparently Lu Xiaobu was essentially kind-hearted and didnt give him too much trouble! S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu, although this isnt a big deal, even quite suffocating, but Ill remember this! "Lu Xiaobu is number one in the world! Wahahaha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed loudly, shouting his slogan. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, netizens all laughed! "Right right right, Young Master Bu is number one in the world! Congratulations on advancing to the Newcomer Rich List!" "Young Master Bu is number one in the world! Congratulations on making the Newcomer Rich List! Keep up the formation!" "Young Master Bu is number one in the world! Congratulations on making the Newcomer Rich List!" "..." At this moment, even Lu Xiaobus Weibo was automatically updated toOfficially Verified, Newcomer Rich List, Profligate Lu Xiaobu. This took Lu Xiaobu by surprise: "Hey, this Newcomer Rich List, even comes with official verification?" "No way, you still dont understand the meaning of the Newcomer Rich List?" Zhou Jingyuan rolled her eyes in exasperation: "Being on the Rich List means youre recognized by the nation, got it now?" "Being listed means your credibility rating, bank loans, project prioritization and so on will all substantially improve." "Just like if youre bidding on the same project as someone else, theyll prioritize you, all other things being equal." "Even sometimes if your bid isnt the highest, theyll still consider you first!" "You think anyone with money can get on this list? It requires a comprehensive review!" "Now do you see why I was so shocked that you, a profligate, got nominated?" With that said, Zhou Jingyuan spoke resentfully: "Im envious you dont know anything, and just stumbled your way to success!" "So it turns out this list isnt bad at all!" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and finally showed an excited expression: "Then all those wasteful projects and such are going to be easier to get approved! Awesome! Reward, a thousand each!" "Thank you, Young Master Xie Xiaobu! Long live Young Master Bu!" Everyone cheered! "Pfft!" Zhou Jingyuan almost spewed blood! People get on the list to make money! But you! You made the Newcomer Rich List just to squander wealth?! Everyone happily returned to the classroom. And that arrogant Hua Wenyan? No one cared anymore. Only knew he had left, but no one knew when. He arrived full of arrogance, the center of attention, but left like a defeated dog, not daring to make a sound. The bitterness in his heart, only he knew. Not only did he get his face smacked hard here today, he also had to explain to the company afterwards. These Twelve Heavenly Kings, will he humiliate himself by continuing to push forward, letting Lu Xiaobu profit and gain followers? Or will he slap his own face and give up the Twelve Heavenly Kings? Either choice brought him bone-deep pain! Chapter 76: Celebration Banquet [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Celebration Banquet [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Hua Wenyan was still looking at his indefinitely paused Twelve Heavenly Kings with a pained expression on his face. After reading novels all day, Lu Xiaobu waited for the bell that signaled the end of class. At this moment, Tao Aijuns call came in again: "Lu Xiaobu, Im calling to remind you, dont forget tonights banquet. Oh, and youd better keep a low profile tonight, someones got their eye on you." Tao Aijun hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. Had it not been for the favor Lu Xiaobu reluctantly did him before, Tao Aijun wouldnt have bothered with that last sentence. And that favor was only worth this much effort. "Banquet? What banquet?" Lu Xiaobu put down the phone, puzzled. "It must be the celebration banquet," Zhou Jingyuan explained. "Its a custom. Every time someone makes it onto the Newcomer Rich List, a banquet like this is held in honor of the new member. People who attend are those on the Newcomer Rich List, and maybe even some from the Rich List will come to support." "Oh, I see." Lu Xiaobu pursed his lips, pulled out some snacks from his backpack, and began to eat, casually tossing some to Zhou Jingyuan, who was a big eater. Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Take me with you." Out of character, the constantly eating Zhou Jingyuan put aside the snacks and eagerly said to Lu Xiaobu. This took Lu Xiaobu by surprise. It seemed this banquet held quite a high status. Zhou Jingyuan was that kind of mysterious person whose background was untraceable. And now she was actually asking him to take her to the banquet. But... "Im not going, so how can I take you?" Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders. "Youre not going... What! Youre not going?" Zhou Jingyuan jumped up, anxiously protesting: "Youre the guest of honor tonight! Are you joking?" "Im just not going, its pointless." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Besides, Tao Aijun just said someone was out to get me. Why would I go looking for trouble?" "No, this is a golden opportunity to make a name for yourself and formally enter high society!" Zhou Jingyuan said, trying to persuade him passionately. "Not going, not going!" Lu Xiaobu vigorously shook his head. "You!" Zhou Jingyuan was about to explode. She had wanted to bask in Lu Xiaobus glory, meet some influential people, increase her say in her family, and try to change her fate. But who would have thought this wastrel would skip the celebratory banquet organized for him! Lu Xiaobus phone rang: "Sister Lan, whats up?" "The Young Master must have received the invitation to the banquet," Liang Lan said laughingly. "Yeah! But Im not going." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "But, it is a charity banquet with an auction! You can squander your money," Liang Lan laughed. "Uh... okay, come to the school, lets go together." Upon hearing he could splurge, Lu Xiaobu immediately agreed. He had been worrying about not having a good way to squander his wealth! Lately, everything had been on a small scale. He hoped tonight he could go big. "Alright, Young Master, Im already waiting at the school gates," Liang Lan nodded. "Come on! Cant you be like normal people? You skip the chance to make a name but go if it means you can waste money!" Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhou Jingyuan collapsed! ... Calling up Wu Qianmin and bringing Zhou Jingyuan along, Lu Xiaobu, while eating snacks, made his way to the school gates. "Woof!" At that moment, the immature bark of a puppy reached Lu Xiaobus ears. Lu Xiaobu looked over and immediately saw a little stray dog, covered in wounds, limping along and staring at the snack in Lu Xiaobus hand. It was clearly starving. Otherwise, it wouldnt be begging for food like that. What was strange, though, was that the dog was ignoring everyone else and just staring at Lu Xiaobu, eyes filled with longing. "Here you go." Lu Xiaobu smiled, bent down, and handed the snack to the little dog. The dog looked warily at Lu Xiaobu, not coming any closer, its eyes filled with fear. It was clearly hurt by humans. "Alright, Ill step away." Lu Xiaobu stood up and walked towards the car. As soon as the puppy saw him leave, it immediately grabbed the snack with its mouth and took off running, disappearing into an alley in the blink of an eye. "Hey, this little thing, it sure can run fast." Lu Xiaobu laughed: "I was thinking about taking it to a pet hospital." Zhou Jingyuan smiled at this scenethe prodigal son always manages to touch your heart without even trying. This was just a small interlude. The group got into the car, heading toward the banquet. The vehicles didnt go directly to the venue but stopped at a parking lot near a well-known tailors shop. "Young Master Bu, Ive already picked out some clothes for you, go try them on." Sister Lan said with a smile: "The young master is so handsome, youll be even more so in formal wear." "Lets go." Lu Xiaobu said with a laugh. Everyone stepped out of the car and hurried to the tailors shop. Dressed in the clothes prepared by Liang Lan, a dashing handsome man suddenly stood before everyone. "Young Master looks so handsome." Sister Lan said with a satisfied smile. "Indeed very handsome, this is actually the first time Ive seen Xiaobu in formal attire," said Wu Qianmin as she circled around Lu Xiaobu, surprised. "Its alright." Zhou Jingyuan pursed her lips and said, but the sparkle in her eyes betrayed her. Clearly, even she was stunned by Lu Xiaobus sudden dash of handsomeness. Li Qiang glanced over and his eyes started to move. He was specifically there to butter up Young Master Buhow could he allow someone else to take his job? So he immediately said exaggeratedly: "Wow, Young Master Bu, you are so handsome, my titanium alloy dog eyes have been blinded by your brilliance." "Ha ha, nice flattery, heres a reward of five thousand." Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily. "Thank you, Young Master Bu." Li Qiang said gleefully. ... At this moment, Zhang Meng frowned and pulled out his phone: "Young Master, someones tampering with our car." With him and Li Jin, two special soldiers, the car had long been modified to the perfect level. Theft prevention and such were not a problem. Hearing Zhang Mengs words, the group walked outside. They hadnt even gotten close to the car when... "Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!" A string of barking sounds reached everyones ears. Accompanied by an angry mans voice: "Damn it, stupid dog, Im gonna kill you!" They quickened their pace and reached the car. They saw a shifty-eyed man standing by Lu Xiaobus car. Tools were scattered on the ground next to the man, clearly indicating he was a thief. And beside him was a small dog barking furiously, seemingly protecting Lu Xiaobus car. "Isnt that the little dog from the school gate?" Zhou Jingyuan was surprised: "Its actually guarding your car." Seeing people arriving, the thief quickly tried to run, but how could he escape from Zhang Mengs grasp. The thief was quickly subdued by Zhang Meng and handed over to a nearby police officer. Such petty thieves werent even worthy of being dealt with seriously. "Hey, little fella, we meet again, youve really helped me out this time!" Lu Xiaobu crouched down to look at the dog and extended his hand. This time, the puppy didnt run away like before. Instead, it approached Lu Xiaobu, sniffed his hand, and even licked it. It gradually became affectionate. Lu Xiaobu said, "How about you come with me?" "Bark!" The puppy barked once, and it seemed as though it was agreeing. The others secretly marveledthis little dog was truly amazing! Chapter 77: It’s Decided, It’s You, Dumbass [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Its Decided, Its You, Dumbass [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]With the puppy along, several people continued to make their way to the banquet venue. At this moment, the focus inside the car was evidently the dog that, despite its battered appearance and unattractive looks, was quite clever. "Lets give him a name," Wu Qianmin said adoringly, "how about Xiao Hua?" "I think Awang is good. Plus, its obviously a little male dog!" Liang Lan also seemed to like the puppy a lot. "Lets call it Dian Dian," Zhou Jingyuan disagreed, "Awang is too common." Following that, the three women got into a dispute over naming the puppy. "Xiao Hua!" "Awang!" "Dian Dian!" As the three couldnt agree, they decided to let the puppy make the decision. However, the puppy ignored all the names they came up with and just quietly lay beside Lu Xiaobus feet, resting with his eyes closed. No matter how the three women called it, it wouldnt even lift its eyelids. Eventually... "Xiaobu..." "Young Master..." "What should we call it?" The three women threw the tough decision to Lu Xiaobu. Clearly, all three were not prepared to give in, their beautiful eyes all fixed on Lu Xiaobu, hoping he would agree with their suggestions! "Alright, its decided," Lu Xiaobu nodded, "its settled then, Dumbass." "Bang!" All three women fainted. What kind of name is Dumbass? Who names like this? "Xiaobu, that name is a bit too much," Wu Qianmin persuaded from the side. "Yeah, Young Master, I really dont think its good either," Liang Lan also advised. "Exactly," Zhou Jingyuan agreed! The three women who had been arguing fiercely were now united in opposing the name Lu Xiaobu chose. However, they might not be pleased, but Dumbass clearly accepted the new name his new owner gave him. He stood up, wagging his tail and excitedly turning in circles, "Woof woof woof!" "Do you like this name?" Lu Xiaobu asked Dumbass. "Woof!" "Ill call you, and you have to respond, okay?" Lu Xiaobu said to Dumbass. "Woof!" "Dumbass!" "Woof!" Watching the man and dog, the three women were on the verge of collapse. Its really true that people have pets similar to themselves! How could this be possible? Speechless. Li Jin, seeing this scene, said to Zhang Meng, "Instructor, this puppy is extraordinary. It feels as if it has been trained. But it was clearly just a stray and so young too." "People have their geniuses and fools, just like you and me. Dogs are the same; some can naturally discern good from bad. From the start, when it ignored others at the school gate but only asked the Young Master for food, it just shows this puppy is unusual," Zhang Meng said with a laugh, "So it very well knows who its new owner is." As if to prove Zhang Mengs words. Despite how happily Lu Xiaobu and Dumbass were playing, whether it was Wu Qianmin, Liang Lan, or Zhou Jingyuan, no matter how they called or even tried to tempt him with food, he ignored them. This made the three women cannot help but feel extremely jealous and envious. Li Jin looked around, almost wanting to cry, "Instructor, I know you are right, but can you explain what you mean by just like you and me?" Originally, Lu Xiaobu planned to first take Dumbass to the pet hospital for treatment. But Dumbass recognized no one but him and ignored everyone else. In the end, with no other options, he had to take Dumbass along to the dinner. However, under Lu Xiaobus order, Dumbass was quietly cleaned up by the three women. Although he still looked battered and pitiful, at least he appeared much more comfortable now. ... Qingfeng Club. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This is the venue for the dinner tonight. At the moment, the entrance of the club is packed with various luxury cars like Maseratis, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis, displaying immense luxury. Moreover, many young rich individuals are waiting at the door, hoping to mingle within the club and meet these true bigwigs. However, those without invitations were uniformly turned away. Inside the club. Liu Changlong, the son of Shimens richest man, was talking to Shi Jinhao, the top newcomer on the Newcomer Rich List. "Long time no see, Young Master Liu," Shi Jinhao greeted warmly. "Oh, Mr. Shi, you flatter me too much! How can I deserve such a title? Just call me Little Liu," Liu Changlong hurriedly replied. Shi Jinhao was the top name on the Newcomer Rich List, while he was the last. He couldnt afford to put on airs in front of him. "Young Master Liu, lets skip the formalities. According to our usual rules, you and I should go and welcome Lu Xiaobu," Shi Jinhao said with a smile. The rule of the Newcomer Rich List is such that those on the list do not need invitations, and when a newbie joins, the first and the last on the list must welcome them together to show respect and hospitality. "Is Mr. Shi really going to welcome Lu Xiaobu?" Liu Changlong squinted his eyes, his tone ominous: "Can Mr. Shi really tolerate his unreasonable behavior that disrupted the Newcomer Rich List program? This Lu Xiaobu has no respect for rules! As seniors, we should teach the newcomer a lesson." "Thats true, I also intend to teach him, but something out of line is still better not done." Shi Jinhao spoke with the same ominous tone, yet the implication was clear. If its within the rules, he wouldnt mind disciplining Lu Xiaobu. Although Lu Xiaobu had cursed Tao Aijun, Shi Jinhao was also on that show. That kind of behavior was undoubtedly a slap in his face, and how could he just swallow the insult? "How can you say its out of line?" Liu Changlong laughed, his expression very sly: "Its clear that both of us had upset stomachs and were in the bathroom, arriving a step too late, and didnt welcome him in time." "And at that time, Lu Xiaobu, because he didnt have an invitation, was stopped by the doorman and in the argument, the physically weak Lu Xiaobu was accidentally pushed by the doorman, fell to the ground, and got covered in mud, losing face." "Mr. Shi, all of this has nothing to do with us, right?" Shi Jinhao, hearing Liu Changlongs words, smiled: "Young Master Liu really is wise, teaching the younger generation with such earnest care, Lu Xiaobu will surely be grateful to learn from you." "I think so too, hahaha!" Liu Changlong laughed heartily. Lu Xiaobu, even if you have joined the Newcomer Rich List, so what? Do you really think I, Liu Changlong, have no way to handle you? Two scheming fellows, used high-sounding words to settle a plan targeting Lu Xiaobu, their manipulative abilities are disgusting! ... Lu Xiaobu arrived at Qingfeng Club. After parking the car, Li Jin stayed to watch it, Zhang Meng carried dumbass, and the group headed straight towards the club entrance. Just as they reached the entrance. "Please show your invitation." A doorman stopped them. "Are you mistaken? This is Lu Xiaobu, from the Newcomer Rich List, tell Shi Jinhao and Liu Changlong to come out and welcome him!" Zhou Jingyuan immediately furrowed her brows. Lu Xiaobu may not know the rules, but she certainly did! "Sorry, I dont recognize." The doorman spoke coldly. "Are you looking for trouble?" Zhou Jingyuans complexion turned completely stern. As the host of the Newcomer Rich List dinner, saying you dont know Lu Xiaobu is a blatant lie! "Sorry, if you dont have an invitation, please step aside." The doorman squinted his eyes, seemingly asking Lu Xiaobu and the others to leave. However, he secretly flexed his muscles. Young Master Liu said that this Lu Xiaobu was extremely weak, and just a little force would certainly bring him down. If done properly, he would become rich. Watching this scene, Shi Jinhao and Liu Changlong in the corner revealed the same sinister smilea perfect plan. Chapter 78: Sighing [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Sighing [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Boom." A muffled sound echoed as the doormans hand forcefully pushed against Lu Xiaobus chest. Yet, to Shi Jinhao and Liu Changlongs jaw-dropping surprise, an unexpected event occurred. Lu Xiaobu didnt fall backward into the mud, but merely took two steps back and stood firm inside. Unbeknownst to them, Lu Xiaobus body was now at a Perfect Level of health, even better than theirs. Knock down Lu Xiaobu? Heh! "How is that possible? Wasnt Lu Xiaobu always very frail?" exclaimed Liu Changlong. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yeah, Lu Xiaobus frailty is well-known within the circle!" Shi Jinhao was also dumbfounded. If Lu Xiaobu didnt fall, then all their plans would be ruined! Taking a solid hit, Lu Xiaobu rubbed his sore chest and looked down at the mud beneath his feet, clearly made on purpose, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Nice, very nice. It seems someone harbors ill will against me! My apologies, but now Im also displeased!" Tao Aijun had informed him beforehand that someone was plotting against him. Now, piecing together the situation at hand, one would have to be a dumbass not to understand. "Kid, youre courting death!" Liang Lan, Wu Qianmin, and Zhou Jingyuan, the three women, coldly snorted in unison, their eyes filled with icy glares! How dare someone pull such tricks on Xiaobu, who was already so frail! This was practically an attempt on Xiaobus life! "Zhang Meng, I want to know who instructed him," ordered Lu Xiaobu, taking dumbass from Zhang Mengs hands and holding it close to his chest. "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng looked quite grim. He had allowed the Young Master to be harmed by his side! This was his dereliction of duty, unforgivable! "Slap!" Zhang Meng grabbed the still confused doorman, who also weighed over a hundred pounds, with one hand and pinned him against the wall, seething with fury and eyes ablaze with wrath: "Speak!" "I... I... It was Young Master Liu who told me to do it." Terrified by such an intense presence, the doorman started to cry hysterically, shivering as he spoke. "Liu Changlong?" Lu Xiaobu sneered, petting dumbasss ears: "Lets go inside. Liu Changlong wants me to fall flat on my face in public, right? Then lets kindly ask Young Master Liu to apologize!" "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng then flung the doorman aside. He led the way into the Qingfeng Club. "What are you people doing?" The security of Qingfeng Club immediately came to stop them. "Scram!" With a stretch of his hands, Zhang Meng grabbed two security guards like iron clamps and tossed them aside, continuing forward. "How dare you! This is not a place for your reckless behavior!" Qi Fei, ranked fifth on the Newcomer Rich List, frowned deeply upon seeing this: "Bodyguards, stop him!" At his command, the ready-to-strike bodyguards suddenly lunged at Zhang Meng, aiming a flying kick at his head. Zhang Meng neither dodged nor flinched, crossing his arms instead. "Thud!" The bodyguards flying kick landed solidly on Zhang Mengs arms, but Zhang Meng remained completely still. His hands quickly shifted, and in a blink, he seized the bodyguards ankle. Using gravity, he slammed him forcefully toward the ground. "Boom!" Qi Feis bodyguard came into a hard kiss with the earth. It left him with teeth scattering and blood spewing from his mouth! Seeing this scene, the others on the Newcomer Rich List gasped in shock. Any thoughts of sending someone to intercept Zhang Meng were brutally extinguished in their cradle! Zhang Meng ignored the others and headed straight for Liu Changlong, who was hiding at the back. The Young Master had saidhe wanted Liu Changlong to apologize! "Bodyguards, bodyguards! Stop him for me!" Liu Changlong trembled all over upon seeing the formidable Zhang Meng, quickly huddling behind his own bodyguards. "You guys, get in there too!" Shi Jinhao also ordered his bodyguards. They had to act now; otherwise, they would all lose face! Consequently, five bodyguards quickly moved to block Zhang Mengs path, forming a surrounding strategy! But for the former Fierce Tiger War God, does it really matter how many people there are? Zhang Meng stomped on the floor, shouldered his way forward, and fiercely slammed into the chest of a bodyguard directly ahead. "Bang!" With a muffled sound, the bodyguard was sent flying and landed in front of Liu Changlong, out of the battle! The other bodyguards took advantage of the gap and attacked at once! Zhang Mengs body, with the help of inertia, squatted swiftly and rolled on the spot. At the same time, he stretched out his two large hands and directly grabbed the ankles of two bodyguards to his left and right. With a forceful yank! "Plop, plop!" Two sounds echoed as two bodyguards fell to the ground. The remaining two bodyguards then lifted their feet and kicked towards Zhang Meng! At this moment, Zhang Meng was on the ground, in a lower position, with those two bodyguards above him! Zhang Meng had no time to stand up! The situation was very unfavorable for Zhang Meng! Liu Changlong was immediately overjoyed. Shi Jinhao revealed a cold smile. But just when everyone thought Zhang Meng was sure to lose. Their smiles froze on their faces. Because Zhang Meng did not try to get up, but instead fiercely kicked out with his legs! Rabbit Kicking Eagle! "Bang! Bang!" A sudden sharp pain erupted at the root of the thighs of the two bodyguards, who fell to the ground clutching their legs. Zhang Meng performed a beautiful carp flip to stand up, took one vigorous step... "Snap!" Zhang Meng clamped onto Liu Changlongs neck, pressed down forcefully and executed a 90-degree flip... "Bang!" Liu Changlongs head smacked hard against the ground, pinned down firmly! "Young Master, mission accomplished!" At this time, it had been just under thirty seconds since Zhang Meng was given the command. The Fierce Tiger War God of yesteryear, terrifying as ever! The entire club, witnessing this scene, was left in stupefaction, gasping for air, their eyes filled with disbelief. At their level, how could any bodyguard be weak? Yet these one-in-a-million bodyguards were flipped over by the bodyguard of the prodigal son Lu Xiaobu in a matter of a few punches and kicks! Utterly powerless to fight back! It must have been as terrifying as Zhao Yuns seven entries and exits at Changban Slope! Lu Xiaobu, holding dumbass, slowly approached Liu Changlong with the posture of a victor. Liu Changlong, who was just moments ago awe-inspiring and full of confidence... Now had his eyes shut tight, trembling with fear. He simply did not dare to open his eyes and face Zhang Mengs fierce tiger gaze. "Liu Changlong, youve got quite the nerve!" Lu Xiaobu lifted his foot to tap Liu Changlong, lying on the ground, and said coldly, "Tonights banquet was supposed to be my show, yet you tried to trip me up, planning to make me lose face. Not a bad scheme!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Liu Changlongs face turned beet red! It was a mix of anger and humiliation, but mostly fear! "No, no, no, Xiaobu, you misunderstood! Misunderstood!" Liu Changlong hurriedly said: "It must be some misunderstanding, I apologize, I apologize!" His heart was full of humiliation; the son of Shimens richest family had been thwarted by Lu Xiaobu time and again! And now, in front of everyone, he was apologizing to this prodigal son! "Louder, I cant hear you." Lu Xiaobu, with the bearing of a victor, looked down at Liu Changlong and said. "I, Liu Changlong, apologize to Lu Xiaobu. Im sorry!" Liu Changlongs teeth were almost crushed! But he could only shout out in humiliation! "Woof!" And at this moment, dumbass barked. Lu Xiaobu thought dumbass was up to something, so he put him down on the ground. Who would have thought that this dumbass would actually scurry right up to Liu Changlongs pinned face... And then lifted his hind leg... Exposing his privates... "Swish!" A stream of urine sprayed out... Chapter 79: A Gold Bar [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 79: Chapter 79: A Gold Bar [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]At this moment, Liu Changlongs entire face turned green, really green! Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A gaudy green, gaudy green! A pee gaudy! He, the son of Shimens richest man and a figure on the Newcomer Rich List! It was enough that he apologized to Lu Xiaobu, that wasteful young master! And now a stray dog had just peed all over his face?! He smelled that pungent pee odor! So infuriated that he actually rolled his eyes and fainted! "Woof!" After peeing, the dumbass barked happily, wagging its tail. Looking at it, it even seemed like it was seeking praise! "Hahaha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily, scooping up the dumbass: "You little thing, you truly are clever!" "Good job, dumbass! With such a person, just give it to him heavy next time!" Zhou Jingyuan praised the dumbass. "Dumbass, Ill feed you something tasty later," Wu Qianmin also said, laughing. Liang Lan quietly took out her phone and told her family to prepare all the best dog supplies! "Alright, Zhang Meng, dont bother catching such people, theyre disgusting!" Lu Xiaobu glanced at Liu Changlong on the ground and strode towards the banquet hall! Today, he is the protagonist! Since he is here, he wont just leave! "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng wiped his hands on Liu Changlongs expensive clothes, then followed Lu Xiaobu away! On his way out, he gave Shi Jinhao a bone-chilling smile. Shi Jinhao shuddered under that gaze and involuntarily stepped back! Lu Xiaobus bodyguard was too terrifying! Only after Lu Xiaobu left did the waitstaff start panicking! "Young Master Liu has fainted, quick, pinch him!" "Quickly call an ambulance, get him off the ground!" "Young Master Liu, Young Master Liu!" "Lu Xiaobus bodyguard is too terrifying!" "He fought 6 and knocked them all out in seconds! Where did Lu Xiaobu find such people?" "..." And those wealthy people, their eyes revealed a cold light! "I always felt that Lu Xiaobu had no manners, but now its clear, hes nothing but a thug!" "Although Young Master Lius methods were a bit excessive, it shouldnt have led to such humiliation!" "And he completely ignored our presence, it seems time to teach him some manners!" "The power in this circle isnt just about fists, but connections and face too!" "..." ... Lu Xiaobu sat in the banquet hall, amusing the dumbass. About half an hour later, the disturbance finally settled down, and the banquet resumed! But after that ruckus, the little cocktail party before the auction was canceled, jumping straight to the main eventthe auction! A host took the stage. "First, lets welcome Mr. Lu Xiaobu to the Newcomer Rich List, everyone, please give him a round of applause!" As the words fell, the entire banquet hall provided only a sparse few claps, looking exceedingly dismal! Clearly, the group of wealthy individuals had reached a consensus to show Lu Xiaobu whos boss! Seeing their lack of support, Zhou Jingyuan swore angrily: "A bunch of bastards! They are trying to put you down, Xiaobu!" Wu Qianmin also clenched her teeth in anger! Liang Lan silently took out her phone again, beginning to gather information on these people. The host, seeing this scene, blushed with embarrassment, quickly skipped all introductions, and got straight to the point: "Now, lets begin our charity auction, where all proceeds today will be donated to charity organizations under the name of the Newcomer Rich List! Lets start!" The first collection item was brought out. The red cloth was lifted! A golden glow shone forth! Turned out it was a gold bar! Even tagged with a price140,000! Suddenly... A wave of mocking laughter resonated through the entire banquet hall. "Ha ha ha, whos this? Such a talent?" "A gold bar? A 140,000 gold bar! Interesting, interesting!" "I want to see how Lu Xiaobu wraps this up!" "Seems like its Qi Feis gold bar!" "..." Hearing these laughs, the naive Wu Qianmin was stunned, "What are they laughing at? Isnt a gold bar valuable?" Zhou Jingyuan gritted her teeth, a hint of cold light in her eyes, "Its not a matter of its value. A thing with a clear price tag, can it be auctioned? They are blatantly slapping Xiaobus face! Whether the auction price ends up a bit higher or lower, its Xiaobu who will be embarrassed!" "Youre right! Todays charity auction revolves around Young Master Bu, although all proceeds will eventually be donated under the name of the Newcomer Rich List, people will certainly still connect it to Young Master Bu." Liang Lan got angry, "Such a move, its too much! Its an outright isolation!" "Moreover, the best items in an auction are typically either at the beginning or the end. Now starting with a gold bar, what state will the following items be in?" Zhou Jingyuan slapped the armrest and stood up, lashing out, "You bastards, are pushing it too far!" "Yo yo, the lady cant talk like that, huh!" The first busybody, Qi Fei, who was ranked fifth, stood up, speaking sarcastically, "Todays banquet star is Lu Xiaobu, we attend to give face. Whether we give anything, and what we give, its all voluntary. Are we supposed to be forced?" "Besides, isnt my gold bar precious? Its a genuine gold bar! A 140,000 one indeed! Donating it to a charity foundation, it could help so many children!" "You f*cker!" Upon hearing these sarcastic words, Zhou Jingyuan completely lost it and raised her soda to throw. But she clenched her teeth and sat back down. Her temper might flare, but she still knew the gravity of the situation; acting out now would embarrass Xiaobu even more! "Oh, why sit back down? Im so scared!" Qi Feis incredibly provoking words came again! "Im so angry, Im so mad!" Zhou Jingyuan cursed through gritted teeth. Liang Lan watched this scene and pondered over a strategy for breakthrough! But simply couldnt find any clue. Though Qi Fei was disgusting, his words werent wrong. They couldnt forcibly compel people to donate good items. Now it had become a deadlock. The gold bar on the stage, ordinary people seeing it would probably just snatch it up. But here, it was like a cup of deadly poison! Regardless of whether the gold bar was auctioned or not, whether oneself or someone else auctioned it, whether the price was high or low, in the end Young Master Bu would be embarrassed! If auctioned by them, theyd say Young Master Bu knows no etiquette, has no popularity, serves him right. If they bid, more than 140,000, theyd say, Young Master Bu is pretentious, like a haggling matchmaker! If someone else bid, more than 140,000, theyd say, theyre pitying Young Master Bu! If they bid, less than 140,000, theyd say, Young Master Bu looks down on the auction, has no integrity! As for someone else bidding, less than 140,000, thats simply a slap in Young Master Bus face. Lu Xiaobu, seeing the gold bar on the stage, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Slapping my face, Lu Xiaobu? Are they targeting the wrong person?" Setting a dead trap for him? Saying they have no strategy for breakout? Well then, lets show them a breakout! "Sister Lan, make a bid, 140,000, not a cent more, not a cent less," Lu Xiaobu said. "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan, unable to think of any breakout strategy, merely followed Young Master Bus command, gritting her teeth and announced, "We bid 140,000!" Hoping that the Young Master really has a breakthrough strategy! Chapter 80 Worse Than a Dog [Please Collect, Please Recommend] Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Worse Than a Dog [Please Collect, Please Recommend]"We bid 140,000!" Sister Lan mustered her courage to make a bid! Instantly, the entire banquet hall erupted into roaring laughter! "Not a penny more, not a penny less!" "Good, good, good, quite the temper. Ha ha!" "This auction is really something!" "I cant bear to bid anymore; its a loss the moment you bid! Every cent counts. Hahaha" "..." Qi Fei sarcastically remarked: "Lu Xiaobu is really something! He saw the value of this gold bar in an instant. Well then, everyone, how about we let Young Master Bu have the gold bar?" The others also spoke in mockery! "Alright, alright, lets hand over the gold bar with a clear price tag to Xiaobu!" "Off to a good start, off to a good start!" "Congratulations, congratulations!" "Todays auction is destined for the history books!" "..." The sarcasm in their words was absolutely nauseating! And then... The gold bar was taken down. It was handed to Lu Xiaobu. "Dumbass, heres your teething stick." Lu Xiaobu took the gold bar, looked down at Bibi and said, "Here, take it, go play!" "Woof!" Bibi, the clever rascal, immediately bit the gold bar and began playing with it on the side! Seeing this scene, the laughter in the entire banquet hall stopped abruptly! Seeing the gold bar being used as a stray dogs teething stick was like a heavy slap across their faces! They were all stunned! They never expected that the gold bar prepared by Qi Fei would end up being used as a teething stick for a dog by Lu Xiaobu! This way, whose face is the gold bar really slapping? All eyes turned to Qi Fei! Qi Feis face turned completely green! "Lu Xiaobu, dont push people too far!" Qi Fei bellowed. Although this item was auctioned and no longer belonged to him! But since he prepared it, and now Lu Xiaobu handed it to a stray dog for teething, wasnt it like slapping his face! Is his item only fit for dogs? Only fit for a stray dog to chew? If this spreads, he will be more than just a step below Lu Xiaobu!!! "Pushing too far? My Bibi is just that noble, he likes using gold bars for teething! If I werent too lazy to go out, your gold bar wouldnt even qualify to be my Bibis teething toy!" Lu Xiaobu let out a cold laugh. At this moment, Bibi cooperated very well and barked: "Woof woof!" As if sayingExactly, what my master said is right, this gold bar is really tough to use! "Lu Xiaobu! I" Qi Fei completely exploded! His face was slapped till it stung! Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu continued, "Also, let me remind you, at todays banquet, Im the main character, compare again and youll be picking up your teeth!" Upon hearing this, Qi Feis roar was forcefully stuffed back into his stomach. He looked at Zhang Meng, who was standing next to Lu Xiaobu, clenched his teeth, and could only sit down with his face green! He couldnt fight, he could only endure! He, ranked fifth on the Newcomer Rich List, was humiliated by a dog! The other tycoons, after looking at Lu Xiaobu, then at Zhang Meng, and finally at the stray dog chewing on the gold bar, couldnt help but shiver! They regretted! Regretted exchanging their auction items for trash! They were sure, the next few items they put up to humiliate Lu Xiaobu would all end up as toys for that scruffy stray dog! If it really came to that, how embarrassing it would be for them! Now that they couldnt fight back and their tactics suppressed, what should they do? Zhou Jingyuan laughed heartily, "Xiaobu, its really you whos amazing, no, its Bibi whos incredible! Killing this bunch of bastards!" Wu Qianmin also leaned cheerfully against Lu Xiaobu, "Xiaobu, how did you come up with that? Giving Bibi the gold bar to use!" Sister Lan gave a thumbs up on the sideYoung Master is indeed amazing! Arent you using the clearly priced gold bar to create trouble? Young Master is not afraid of you, he directly bid! After bidding, he threw it to Bibi, letting you watch with your own eyes what your so-called auction item amounts to in Young Master Bus eyes! And now, the second collectible was brought out! Unveil the red cloth! Its a gold necklace! Market price80,000! "Oh? A gold necklace! Dumbass, how about using it as a dog leash?" Lu Xiaobus voice echoed throughout the entire banquet hall! "I bid 300,000!" A chubby rich man stood up and said hastily. He is ranked 8th on the Newcomer Rich List! This gold necklace was put up for auction by him! Having witnessed the fate of Qi Fei, he didnt want to repeat the same mistake! So, he made his own bid, almost four times the original price! He must get this item back! "Sister Lan, dumbass really likes this gold necklace, bid for it," Lu Xiaobu said calmly. "Yes, Young Master," Liang Lan smiled, "We bid 500,000!" "700,000!" The chubby man shouted right after her, sweating buckets in the fully air-conditioned banquet hall! Liang Lan continued, "800..." "1 million! 1 million!" The chubby man interrupted Liang Lan, shouting. A gold necklace worth 80,000 was fiercely auctioned for 1 million, more than twelve times its value! Then he repeatedly bowed to Lu Xiaobu, "Young Master Lu, please have mercy on me! I was wrong, I really was wrong!" He was full of regret! Why did he even think of suppressing Lu Xiaobu? Initially, his own collection, if taken out, would only be worth 400,000 to 500,000. Now, look at him, bidding on his own item and having to cough up 1 million! "Dumbass, do you still want it?" Lu Xiaobu looked down at dumbass at his feet. "Bark bark bark!" "Oh, you dont want it anymore?" Lu Xiaobu said indifferently, "Well, since this guy wants it so much, and my dumbass doesnt want it anymore, Ill let you have it!" "Thank you, thank you!" The chubby rich man hurriedly thanked him. An item rejected by a dog, given to him! And he has to thank for it! Now he feels even inferior to a dog. This is truly humiliating! The third item of the collection came out! "700,000!" "Dumbass, do you want it?" "1 million!" "Please Young Master Bu, show some mercy!" ... The fourth item of the collection. "1 million!" "Dumbass, how about using it as a pillow?" "1.5 million!" "Young Master Bu, please spare us!" ... The rich mens collections were finally auctioned off! Taking a lesson from their predecessors, theyve become smart! As soon as it was their item, they would start bidding high immediately! Lu Xiaobu didnt make it too hard for them, just raising the original price tenfold or eightfold, letting them buy back their own items! These rich mens faces were green! Watching their own items, intended to humiliate Lu Xiaobu, being bought back at great expense, they were on the verge of tears! Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What a mess this turned into! Their attempt to suppress someone backfired, and instead, they faced multiple humiliations! The only success was turning the auction into something other than an auction! But it wasnt the embarrassing event for Lu Xiaobu they had envisioned, but their own embarrassing, money-throwing, apologetic event! They could let go of the money, but each time it was because the dog didnt want it, that they got it! Their status ended up lower than that of a dog! What kind of situation is that?! Their hearts were both suffocating and furious! On the side, Shi Jinhao clenched his teethLu Xiaobu, dont get too smug! Chapter 81 Turn All into Dogs [Please Collect, Please Recommend] Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Turn All into Dogs [Please Collect, Please Recommend]The auction items from the wealthy had finished, and the auction was coming to its final end, which was also its climax! And this end was to be marked by the main character of this banquet, Lu Xiaobu, auctioning his hidden treasures! Shi Jinhao sat on the chair, gritted his teeth, and suddenly picked up his phone, sending a sinister message: "Are you really going to be fooled by Lu Xiaobu like this? Arent you feeling frustrated?" Qi Fei: "What can we do? If only we could defeat him, I would love to kill that Lu Xiaobu right now!" Below, there was a chorus of agreement! "Thats right, its too frustrating!" "Shi, if you have any plan, just say it quickly!" "..." Shi Jinhao: "Alright, isnt Lu Xiaobu going to auction items soon? Lets do this, no one bids, let him fail at auction! After all, youve all taken your items back! He has no means to threaten you!" Qi Fei: "Good, I agree!" "Agree!" "Agree!" "..." "Xiaobu, what are you planning to auction off at last?" Zhou Jingyuan asked with a smile: "The auction amount has already reached over twenty million, ranking second in the history of the Newcomer Rich List." Seeing how Xiaobu had slapped the faces of those aggressive wealthy elites one by one, she was very delighted. She realized, what use was it to involve these people! As long as she stuck close to this miraculous wasteful young man, she believed he would definitely help solve her problems. Once this matter was settled, she would talk to Lu Xiaobu. "Second place? Since we are here, lets go for the first place," said Lu Xiaobu, shrugging his shoulders. "First place? That might be difficult," Liang Lan said with a troubled expression. "Young Master, not to dampen your confidence, but judging by the expressions of these bastards, they are obviously planning to make you fail at auction!" "A failed auction?" Lu Xiaobu curled his lips. "Believe it or not, I can turn them all into dogs. They will be scrambling for my items." "Arf!" The dumbass barked discontentedly upon hearing this. "I wasnt talking about you," Lu Xiaobu laughed. "You little thing are quite the attention seeker. Youve been doing well today; Ill give you some benefits later." At this moment, The auction host stepped forward and said: "Now we enter the final part of the auction, provided by Young Master Lu." He wiped off his cold sweat, relieved that it was finally over; he had hosted many auctions! This wasnt the highest in amount, but it was absolutely the most thrilling! After all, the main character of this auction was not human, but a stray dog! The dog would simply raise its paw and cause the wealthy to spend tens of millions who would believe that? Lu Xiaobu walked onto the stage holding the dumbass. He looked at those wealthy individuals below, who were wearing smirks, and knew that Sister Lans guess was right! These guys really wanted to make him fail at auction! However! "The auction item I am bringing out is this." Lu Xiaobu took out the last two Immortal Beans and placed them on the auction table. "Beans? Beans? Hahaha!" Qi Fei burst into crazy laughter: "Lu Xiaobu, even if you know we want you to fail at auction, theres no need to give up like this! Here, Ill bid one dollar to help you regain some confidence!" The other wealthy elites also let out soft laughter. "Awesome! Finally revenge!" "This guy has his day too?" "..." Shi Jinhao watched Lu Xiaobu coldlyYou still cant beat me! "Now there are two beans," Lu Xiaobu said with a faint smile, then picked up an Immortal Bean: "Dumbass, here!" The dumbass leapt up and swallowed the Immortal Bean. The wealthy elites were initially mocking Lu Xiaobu... But just like when Lu Xiaobu had previously given the dumbass a gold bar as a chew toy, their laughter suddenly stopped! History is always so similar! Because these wealthy elites saw the stray dog covered in scars start to shed its scars in blocks after swallowing the bean, then grew new flesh and sprouted new fur. In just a minute, the scar-covered stray dog had transformed into a slightly cute Chinese rural dog! Dumbass felt the changes in its body and happily wagged its tail, rubbing against Lu Xiaobu! "Now theres only one left." Lu Xiaobu said to the wealthy elites below. "Holy shit!" A burst of exclamations erupted from the crowd! What is this? This is freaking a miracle! That bean could have such a big effect? This is like the legendary Immortal Pill! All eyes were fixated on the last Immortal Bean on the table, everyones eyes turned red! At this point, they already knew that life is much more valuable than money! This life-saving thing, no matter the cost, they have to buy it! What? You said we agreed to let Lu Xiaobu fail the auction? Bullshit, who the hell said that? What? You have chat records? Damn it, can I slap my own face? Lu Xiaobu looked at the crowd below him glowing green like hungry wolves: "Since everyone let me fail the auction, I know better, dumbass, this one is for you too!" "No!" The eighth rich fat man previously, from nowhere got the strength, rushed onto the stage in one stride, hugging Lu Xiaobus legs, pleading, "No, no!" He never expected Lu Xiaobu to have such a thing. And even brought it out for auction! Just imagine, if they had such a thing, they would definitely keep it in innumerable safes! Especially, he thought about how Lu Xiaobu had just fed one to a stray dog! He felt like cursing madly! Wasteful, prodigal, extravagant! Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It seems like this prodigal Lu Xiaobu could really do such a thing! Seeing this, everyone else couldnt stand it any longer and rushed forward, hugging his legs one by one. "Young Master Bu, I bid ten million, sell it to me!" "Ten million, are you just yapping? I bid twenty million!" "Twenty-five million! Thats all my assets!" "..." "Get lost! Get lost! All of you get lost!" Lu Xiaobu, being hugged by a bunch of grown men, was utterly disgusted! Kicking them off, as if playing soccer! But these guys clung to Lu Xiaobu like plasters, crying and shouting to buy the Immortal Bean! If outsiders saw these usually high and mighty rich men, who are hard to even meet, now unable to be kicked away, they would be utterly shocked! Not only them, even Shi Jinhao and Qi Fei who had always been against Lu Xiaobu, were shamelessly guarding on the side, staring closely at that Immortal Bean! However, they were smarter by not blindly hugging his legs, but frantically mobilizing funds! Since Lu Xiaobu took it out, it was meant for the auction! Although they had grudges, they had money! And when the dumbass saw so many people competing with it, it angrily barked, "Woof woof woof..." "Damn, stop the noise! Whoever makes noise again will be disqualified. Stay down quietly!" Lu Xiaobu said impatiently. "Yes!" All the rich men obediently squatted on the ground, like dogs. "Woof woof woof!" Dumbass looked at this row of people in shock, its fur bristling. A new breed of its kind? They really want to compete with me for affection?! It hurriedly squatted down in a row with the rich men, taking the first spot! Thus, the rich men from the Newcomer Rich List all ended up behind the dog, becoming dogs themselves! The faces of the rich men turned from green to purple! Zhou Jingyuan and the others were laughing like crazy, holding their stomachs, laughing themselves into stitches. "This dumbass is really cooperative, now these rich men are no different than dogs!" "Its really my first time seeing rich men competing with a dog for affection." "Hey, hey, didnt you say you wanted Xiaobu to fail the auction? Whats the meaning behind competing with my dumbass for food?" "Young Master Bu is awesome, he said to turn them into dogs, and they really turned into dogs!" "..." Chapter 82: Complete Domination [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Complete Domination [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]"Raise your hand." Lu Xiaobu mocked as he looked at the group of wealthy dogs. The tycoons all turned green in the face and fell silent. Only the dumbass obediently raised his hand! "Well, only my dumbass is obedient, this is for you!" Lu Xiaobu then extended the Immortal Bean to the dumbass. "Dont want it!" The tycoons were suddenly startled, and one after another, they raised their hands. Damn it, for the sake of Divine Medicine, endure it! These critical moments might save their lives! Even if, concede ten thousand steps back, this thing is ineffective to humans but only works on animals. As long as it can be deciphered, thats a tremendous profit! If Han Xin could endure the humiliation under his crotch, so could they! "Thats more like it!" Lu Xiaobu nodded in satisfaction: "Besides Liu Changlong, who else plotted against me just now?" "It was him!" Everyone obediently pointed in unison at Shi Jinhao. The previously esteemed leader Shi Jinhao was instantly betrayed! Shi Jinhao, his face twisted to the point it almost fractured, pleaded: "Xiaobu, no, Young Master Lu, I was just confused for a moment! Ill apologize to you, it was all Liu Changlongs instigation!" He couldnt back down now, the humiliation was already suffered; losing his qualification on top of that would truly be losing the lady and the troops! As long as he gets the Immortal Pill, he can turn the tables! No matter the cost! "Oh..." Lu Xiaobu looked at Shi Jinhao coveting the Immortal Bean so dearly and nodded profoundly, his smile turning somewhat cruel: "My medicine is only for dogs, Shi Young Master is a human, seems like he doesnt need it then!" Say he becomes a dog, then let him become a dog! Saying is doing! "Woof!" Shi Jinhaos face turned blue as he barked. Everyone of those tycoons was petrified. They truly didnt expect Shi Jinhao to go to such lengths! "I didnt hear clearly!" Lu Xiaobu tilted his head. "Woof woof woof!" Shi Jinhao barked frantically. He must, must get that pill. Only he knew the true value of that pill! Just presenting it to that person, all the humiliations and vengeances of today, could all be repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold! The surrounding tycoons looked at Lu Xiaobu and then at Shi Jinhao, suddenly feeling a chill to the bone! This nouveau rich Lu Xiaobu could actually play the top of the Newcomer Rich List, Shi Jinhao, like this! This was more than just a slap in the face, this was outright crushing! This Lu Xiaobu was too terrifying! Zhou Jingyuan watched the scene, her mouth agape enough to fit an egg! The previous indirect insinuations were one thing, but now Xiaobu actually made Shi Jinhao imitate a dogs bark! "Since Shi Young Master has turned into a dog, I cant say much else, one billion. Take the thing away!" Lu Xiaobu nonchalantly spit out an astronomical figure! Hearing this number, the other tycoons immediately flagged! They couldnt afford it and didnt dare to bid! Now the situation was clearly that Shi Jinhao was bent on obtaining it. If they tried to snatch the prey from his mouth, they would surely get viciously bitten by the maddened Shi Jinhao! "Fine!" Shi Jinhao clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes bloodshot! He immediately began mobilizing all his funds, plus taking out bank loans, gathering one billion in the shortest time possible! This is where his reputation as the top newcomer on the Newcomer Rich List comes into play; otherwise, the bank would never have granted the loan so quickly! The influence of the Newcomer Rich List is indeed substantial! "Take it." Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu tossed the Immortal Bean to Shi Jinhao! Having received the Immortal Bean, Shi Jinhao immediately turned and left. He was too ashamed to stay here any longer, let alone show his face in Shimen! ... Amid the flattering voices of many wealthy individuals, Lu Xiaobu left the club with his entourage in a grand manner! The charity gala had ended. With a supreme bid of 120 million at this charity gala, Lu Xiaobu crushed the original top bid of 40 million by Shi Jinhao, skyrocketing to first place. And because the amounts raised at the charity gala also contributed to the wealth index. Lu Xiaobus ranking on the Newcomer Rich List had soared, pushing him past Qi Fei and making him the fifth-ranked newcomer to wealth. When the new list was released, there was an uproar online! "What the heck? Wasnt Lu Xiaobu just added to the Newcomer Rich List? How did he jump to fifth place already?" "Mind-blowing! Just a second ago, Hua Wenyan was vying for a spot on the list with Lu Xiaobu, and the next second, the man has soared to fifth! Really want to interview Hua Wenyan." "Check it out, Ive got the scoop, its because of Lu Xiaobus charity auction, look at the amount!" "My god, 120 million?!" "I remember the highest bid was only like 40 million, right?" "Hes done it, tripled it, hasnt he?" "No way, I need a bottle of cola to calm my nerves!" "I feel like Liu Changlong at the bottom is gonna go crazy!" "Liu Changlong: I thought I wasnt the last one already, but Im still freaking last!" "Comment above, 666! We all had nine years of compulsory education, why are you the only one showing off?" "..." The entire online conversation was dominated by the reaction to Lu Xiaobus rise to fifth place on the Rich List, despite being mocked and doubted by everyone! Liu Changlong hid in the hospital, refusing to meet anyone; the white flyers reflecting off his face made him look even greener. He had been throwing up all day. To this moment, whenever he saw a dog, he would remember that hot, pungent dog urine. And then, he would heave uncontrollably! And when he received the news that Lu Xiaobu pushed Qi Fei down and became one of the top five... "Pff!" He couldnt hold back anymore, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out, stark against the white bedsheets! Other wealthy people could bear it; after all, they werent from Shimen, and out of sight was out of mind! But he couldnt! He was from Shimen, and so was Lu Xiaobu! And since his Liu Family was the wealthiest in Shimen, people naturally compared him with Lu Xiaobu! Whats more, he was the one who had been most humiliated this time! Of course, this was because he didnt know about Shi Jinhao turning into a dog later on! "Lu Xiaobu! This isnt over!" Liu Changlongs heart-wrenching roar spread throughout the hospital! ... In the car with Lu Xiaobu. "My god, Young Master, youre now fifth on the Newcomer Rich List!" Liang Lan excitedly reported, looking at the ranking on her phone. "What? Fifth?" Zhou Jingyuan was also excited, disbelievingly pulling out her phone to check: "Lu Xiaobu, youre amazing! Hopping up to fifth place on the Newcomer Rich List so soon after joining!" "Whats the big deal?" Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly: "Its just a list!" He came to splurge, but ended up buying only a gold bar worth 140,000, feeling somewhat disappointed! "Xiaobu, its not just any list!" Zhou Jingyuan explained excitedly, "This rich list is recognized by the nation, your ranking represents your credit, your social influence!" "Just like Shi Jinhao, why was he able to amass a billion so quickly? Its because of his influence as the number one on the Rich List!" "Psh! Doesnt help with my splurging at all." said Lu Xiaobu with a shrug. Liang Lan was at a loss; the Young Master was incredibly smart, but he simply never considered anything beyond splurging, which was really exasperating! Chapter 83: Astonishing Turnaround [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Astonishing Turnaround [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu returned home and surprisingly found that Lu Hongbin was not there. Only Li Xide and Lu Wenhuo were in the living room! These two were interesting, facing each other and plucking their hair! It was like a competition, plucking each others hair consecutively! Lu Xiaobu was taking off his coat with Liang Lans help! Just then, he heard the two start a conversation. "No way! Im making one more phone call to try. I cant believe that with such great technology we cant attract investments!" Lu Wenhuo suddenly stood up, bursting with excitement, and dialed a number directly. "Hello, Lu Wenhuo, its you again. Havent I told you, your plan wont work!" The angel investor Hu Shengyi on the other end of the line frowned, speaking impatiently. "Mr. Hu, please reconsider! We have mastered core mobile technology! This technology has always been monopolized by foreign countries, and now weve developed it on our own. This could be hugely profitable!" Lu Wenhuo pleaded. "No means no! You say you have this technology, but who believes that? Out of ten who come asking for money, nine claim to have core technology! Why dont you show it to me if its true, and Ill invest!" Hu Shengyi scoffed. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This..." Lu Wenhuo was stuck! Show it to others? How could that be possible? If everyone knew about it, would it still be valuable? "See! You wont show me and yet expect me to invest, isnt this fraud! Has the Lu Family started doing such things now?" Hu Shengyi shook his head, ready to hang up the call! "Would the reputation of my Lu Family ever involve in such things?" Being called a fraudster made Lu Wenhuo furious! "Dont blame me for being blunt, your Lu Family has always been in the catering business, which everyone knows is a low investment and stable profit field. If it were investment in catering, I would give money without a second word!" "But concerning these high-risk industries now, the Lu Family really doesnt have much of a reputation. Take my advice, stick to your small businesses!" Hu Shengyi said irritably. His words were incredibly sharp, basically saying the Lu Family was not up to the task! "You!" Lu Wenhuo was infuriated! "Er... how about this! The $50 million USD investment you talked about earlier is definitely unrealistic. Considering that Lu Xiaobu has just been added to the Newcomer Rich List..." Knowing he had spoken too far, Hu Shengyi hesitated, and finally he said, "How about this, Ill invest $15 million USD, but I want a 30% stake in the company! What do you think?" "Get lost! Why dont you just rob me?" Lu Wenhuo exploded and directly hung up the phone! 30% shares, how could that be possible? Entrepreneurs all know that during financing, the maximum equity given to investors is usually 25%. Exceeding this percentage, itd be easy for entrepreneurs to lose their say in the company in future financing! This would be nothing short of quenching thirst with poison! Of course, if this Hu Shengyi agreed to their plan and provided $50 million USD, which is more than 300 million RMB, he might consider it. But now, offering only $15 million USD and also wanting 30% of the shares, that was sheer extortion! "Calm down, whats up, second bro?" Lu Xiaobu grabbed a can of cold cola, inserted a straw and asked. "Its just about the smartphone issue!" Lu Wenhuo spoke irritably: "Li Xide and I discussed, to develop a smartphone we cant rely solely on our familys funds, we must attract investors." "A conservative estimate requires $50 million USD, at the very least $30 million USD, but weve scoured investment platforms and no one is willing to invest! They all say our family cant hack it! Its infuriating!" "Yes! Young Master, what was just discussed was already pleasant, theres even more infuriating stuff!" Li Xide was also very angry. "Oh, about attracting investments! Then you guys carry on." Lu Xiaobu shrugged: "If its about spending money, maybe I could still help." "Right, Liang Lan, please help us think of a way to see if theres a chance to attract investment." Lu Wenhuo turned to Liang Lan for advice. Liang Lan is Tian Jilan, she should have a way. "I? I dont have any solutions, you need to ask Young Master about that!" Liang Lan said with a smile. "Him?" Lu Wenhuo rolled his eyes: "He also said, he is good at spending money, but attracting investment? Better not count on him!" "Thats not necessarily true, its very easy for Young Master Bu to attract investment now." Liang Lan said cheerily. "Really?" Lu Wenhuo said skeptically. "If you dont believe it, just let the Young Master make a call and youll see." Liang Lan shrugged. "Xiaobu, come on, make a call, attract some investment." With a resigned attitude, Lu Wenhuo pulled Lu Xiaobu over. "What? I wont make the call. If I fail to secure investment, youll blame me again." Lu Xiaobu sulked and disagreed. "Come on! Stop stalling! Anyway, its already like this, could it get any worse? You wont be blamed either way!" Lu Wenhuo dialed Hu Shengyis number and handed it to Lu Xiaobu. "Young Master Bu, just tell him to take another look at the Newcomer Rich List." Liang Lan said with a smile. "Fine, fine." Lu Xiaobu said reluctantly. "Hello? Lu Wenhuo, arent you done pestering me yet!" Hu Shengyis irritable voice came over: "I was thinking of giving you fifteen million, now, not a single dime!" "Er... this is Lu Xiaobu, no money then, no worries! Just take another look at the rankings on the Newcomer Rich List," Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly. After that, Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone. He then turned to Lu Wenhuo: "See, I told you, I cant handle attracting investment!" Lu Wenhuo sighed: "Sigh!" But at that moment! Lu Wenhuos phone rang again. It was Hu Shengyi! As soon as Lu Wenhuo picked up, Hu Shengyis urgent voice came through: "Ive decided to agree to your investment plan, invest fifty million US dollars! We only need twenty percent of the shares, what do you think?" "Ah?" Lu Wenhuo was stunned. Wasnt it thirty percent for fifteen million just a moment ago! Whats going on now? Did something happen? "Is it too much to ask for that much of a share? We can negotiate. How about fifteen percent?" Hu Shengyi hastily suggested. Now Lu Wenhuo was even more shocked, almost in a fluster! Ecstasy filled his heart, he immediately wanted to agree! "Hold on!" Liang Lan smiled and stopped Lu Wenhuo, taking over the phone: "Well think it over and call you back." "No, no, ten percent! Ten!" Before hanging up, Hu Shengyis final pleading voice came through. His tone was almost begging! Just like how Lu Wenhuo had been begging for an investment moments ago. However, now it was him begging to invest in Lu Wenhuo! Lu Wenhuo and Li Xide were both dumbfounded! The two stared at Lu Xiaobu, who was drinking a cola, completely shocked! What just happened? Lu Xiaobu made one phone call, said one sentence, and the situation dramatically flipped around? Chapter 84: Regret? No Regret, Just Green with Envy! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Regret? No Regret, Just Green with Envy! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Wenhao and Li Xide were still in shock. Just then, Lu Wenhaos phone rang again, now its the Construction Bank! "Hello, is this Mr. Li Xide? Im Qi Dong, manager of Construction Bank. Didnt you want a loan before? Weve discussed it and agreed. When can you come to sign the contract?" the bank manager Qi Dong eagerly said. Previously, when Lu Wenhao and his team applied for the loan, they were always received by customer service; they never heard from any manager! But now, a manager was the one calling them! Even the usually slow Li Xide sensed something was off! "May I ask, has something happened? Why have you all suddenly agreed?" Lu Wenhao asked in surprise. "Didnt you know? Xiaobu has already become the fifth on the Newcomer Rich List, so things are naturally different now!" Qi Dong briefly explained, "You mentioned others have been calling you, right? How about this, our bank can offer you a 10% discount on the interest rate? Choose us! Really, our bank..." "Well think about it!" Lu Wenhao immediately hung up the phone, incredulously pulling out his phone to check He distinctly remembered Xiaobu just got onto the Newcomer Rich List! How did he become the fifth? "Damn! Xiaobu really made it to fifth!" Lu Wenhao jumped up, overwhelmed with joy! "What? Fifth?!?!" Li Xide also went crazy: "No wonder, no wonder, all these investors and banks who previously dismissed us, now they are calling us on their own initiative, so thats why! Young Master Bu is awesome!" "Hahaha! Let them ignore us before, now its our turn to ignore them!" Lu Wenhao was hopping around, and he hugged Xiaobu tightly, extremely excited: "Xiaobu, Xiaobu, you really hit it big! You prodigal yet casually pulling in investments! So awesome!" Previously, he couldnt pull in investments even when leveraging the Lu Family, but Xiaobu merely spoke a word, and people rushed to give them money! What a difference! "Long live Young Master Bu!" Li Xide was also ecstatic! Xiaobu curled his lips: "Didnt expect that list to be quite useful. Wasnt in vain to get listed." "Uh..." Lu Wenhao was speechless: "Youre such a poser!" Liang Lan covered her mouth and giggled softly! Meanwhile, the phones of both Lu Wenhao and Li Xide kept ringing! All calls were from those aloof investors and various big banks. Such as the Industrial and Commercial Bank! Such as the Merchants Bank! Such as Angel Investment! Such as Libao Investment! All these other entrepreneurs who couldnt even reach investors through begging, now all of them were desperately calling one by one. And they crazily offered various discounts, like loan discounts, reduced shares, just throwing them out there! Keep in mind they previously dismissed Li Xides mobile phone project! Now they were desperately trying to give Li Xide and his team money! But now the once beggar Li Xide and Lu Wenhao had become uncles, not even answering the calls! Now they need to really consider how to maximize their benefits! And this was all simply because Xiaobu had risen to the fifth on the Newcomer Rich List! In fact, these investors did not believe in the so-called smart phone touted by the Lu Family. They didnt believe this phone had such charm! They were investing in Xiaobus name, the fifth on the Newcomer Rich List! As long as Xiaobu stays on this rich list for a day, without messing up, their investment is a guaranteed profit! Why not do it? ... In the end, after selecting, Lu Wenhao and Li Xide chose to finance through the Angel platform. But the condition was that they could only distribute dividends, not allowing them to participate in the companys operations! This was worlds apart from previously not being able to pull investments even with offering shares! Does Hu Shengyi regret it? No regrets! Its just that hes green with envy! Had he known about this, wouldnt it have been good to invest earlier? Now, its a huge loss! ... While Lu Wenhao and Li Xide were excitedly working on the mobile phone, Xiaobu didnt care about these matters. Eating, sleeping, and going to school the next day! Still sleepy, Xiaobu sat in the car as they arrived at the school. And at that moment, someone walked out from the school gate, heading straight towards Xiaobus car. The students around were startled by this person and hurriedly stepped aside. Those with disheveled clothes quickly straightened them, and those who were eating desperately swallowed their food down! Clearly, they were all terribly afraid of this person! But they dared not fail to greet him: "Good morning, Director of Instruction!" Fan Xihua kept a stern face and nodded slightly. After he walked past, the students started whispering quietly. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "How did Black-faced Yama Fan Xihua come out?" "Could it be hes targeting someone again?" "It looks like hes targeting Xiaobu this time!" "No way! Hes going to deal with Xiaobu?" "Whats the big deal? Black-faced Yama even once pointed at Liu Changlongs nose and cursed him. Dealing with Xiaobu is nothing!" "Thats true, I have a premonition a big battle is about to erupt." "..." Clang clang. Fan Xihua knocked on the car window. Wu Qianmin got a huge fright when she saw Fan Xihuas stern face, and immediately sat up straight: "Good morning, Director of Instruction." Even though she was a good student, she was equally fearful of this Black-faced Yama. "Xiaobu." Fan Xihua spoke. His voice was very deep, carrying a natural sense of oppression that was intimidating! "Whats up?" Xiaobu said impatiently. He wasnt quite awake yet! And was very irritable. "Xiaobu!" Wu Qianmin was startled and quickly pulled on Xiaobu. This was Black-faced Yama! And Xiaobu actually spoke rudely to him! The surrounding students were also petrified! "Xiaobu is going nuts!" "Daring to speak to Black-faced Yama like that? Even Liu Changlong wouldnt dare!" "We cant afford to provoke him, cant afford!" "..." Everyone was nervously watching Fan Xihua! Dark clouds pressed down on the city as if ready to break, everyones heart pounding fiercely! But the next second... This man known as Black-faced Yama, Fan Xihua, actually smiled! "Theres nothing important, just letting you know that you can drive your car directly into the school from now on, and your bodyguard can wait for you inside!" Fan Xihua said with a smile. Wu Qianmin, seeing Black-faced Yamas smile, was dumbstruck. She didnt hear clearly what Black-faced Yama said at all! What happened? Black-faced Yama actually smiled at Xiaobu?! He could actually smile?! And speak gently?! The surrounding students were also dumbfounded! "Holy cow! Thats incredible!" "Black-faced Yama smiled at Xiaobu?" "Am I dreaming? The ever stern Black-faced Yama actually smiled at Xiaobu!" "Pinch me!" "..." "Alright, a reward of a thousand!" Xiaobu smiled. This wasnt bad; no need to walk from the school gate to the classroom anymore! This would save a lot of trouble! "This..." Now it was Black-faced Yama who was stunned! Should he take the money or not? Chapter 85: About to Get Bigger, Can It Wrap Around the Waist? [3rd Update] Chapter 85: Chapter 85: About to Get Bigger, Can It Wrap Around the Waist? [3rd Update]Black-faced Yama looked at the money stuffed into his arms, still hesitating whether to take it or not! The surrounding students were already dumbfounded! "Awesome! My Young Master Bu actually rewarded Black-faced Yama!" "Lu Xiaobu is truly badass, not only did he make Black-faced Yama laugh, now hes even rewarding him!" "The world of the prodigals is something we dont understand!" "What kind of wow is this!" "..." While they were still in shock, Zhang Meng had already driven into the school! Leaving Black-faced Yama behind, holding the money with a wry smile on his face! Well, no need to consider it now! And when Zhang Meng drove in, all the bodyguards at the entrance were stunned! "Why can he drive into the school?" "Exactly! Arent bodyguards not allowed inside the school?" "Its unfair, we want to go in too!" "Thats right, why does only he get special privileges!" "..." Hearing the bodyguards protests, Fan Xihuas face darkened immediately, reverting to the true visage of Black-faced Yama: "Whats all the noise? Those who are dissatisfied can scram! Young Master Lu Xiaobu is still so young and already ranks fifth on the Newcomer Rich List, and what about your masters? A bunch of trash! Keep complaining, and Ill have you all clear out of a one-mile radius from the school!" Fan Xihuas voice, filled with oppressive power, rang out. The surrounding students scattered like birds and beasts! The bodyguards also immediately ceased their clamor! Damn, this guy is too terrifying! He instantly reminded them of the fear they used to have at school when dominated by teachers! And this very person actually smiled at Lu Xiaobu just now?! My God! ... Arriving in the classroom. The entire class looked at Lu Xiaobu with eyes full of admiration. "Young Master Bu is incredible!" "Too impressive! The smile of Black-faced Yama! Young Master Bu, you are definitely the first in the history of Shimen First Middle School!" "And you can even drive into the school, Liu Changlong doesnt have this kind of treatment!" "..." "Lu Xiaobu, do you have to be so amazing? Black-faced Yama smiled at you?! And you even gave him a reward!" Zhou Jingyuan was also utterly shocked. "Whats the big deal, really." Lu Xiaobu shrugged and lay down on his desk to read his novel. He didnt care, but others definitely did, and this event instantly spread throughout the whole school! Everyone who heard about it was utterly shocked, and in the end, they could only say one phraseLu Xiaobu is badassto express their astonishment. Even when the homeroom teacher of Class Six came in for the lesson, he was looking at Lu Xiaobu with a shocked face, full of disbelief! To think that even he had never seen Black-faced Yama smile! Two class periods passed. "Xiaobu, could you share with me the next Chapters of Citys Strongest Divine System?" Zhou Jingyuan said, "I really want to know what happens next!" "Cant be bothered to share, just wait for it to be online!" Lu Xiaobu replied, lying on the desk. His phone was different from theirs, it was too troublesome to transfer files, only physical transfers were possible, and he really couldnt be bothered! "What are you waiting for! Did you forget they all stopped updating indefinitely?" Zhou Jingyuan rolled her eyes and said, "Now in the whole world, besides the author, youre the only one who knows what happens next. Its driving us crazy." "Yeah! Thats right!" Students from Class Six nodded and looked at Lu Xiaobu with hopeful eyes: "Young Master Bu, just share a copy with us, please!" "Oh, forgot about that." Lu Xiaobu remembered, "Wait, Ill have them resume the updates." "Its no use. Their books have been banned. They tripped up someone, and the retaliation is justified." Zhou Jingyuan sighed, "So, you might as well share with us! Its not a big deal." "Banned?" Lu Xiaobu nodded, "Oh, then Ill just go buy a website, and let them update on the new site." While saying this, Lu Xiaobu dialed Liang Lans number: "Sister Lan, purchase a novel website so our authors can update there." "Alright, Young Master," Liang Lan replied, "Ive been paying attention to this recently too. Theres a site called Creation thats quite good. About two million should cover it, what do you think?" "Sounds good, go for that one." Lu Xiaobu nodded in satisfaction. Another profligate two million gone, feeling ecstatic! He turned to look at Zhou Jingyuan: "You guys just wait a bit longer, it should be settled within the day! Then youll be able to read the novel." "I..." Zhou Jingyuan and the students from Class Six were flabbergasted, their mouths twitching! I mean, we just wanted to read the following Chapters! And you, because youre too lazy to transfer the files, go spend two million to buy a website? My heavens! Are you serious?! Thats two million! Two million! All just to be lazy?! Youre truly a wasteful heir! Lu Xiaobu looked at the wasteful spending total excitedly and immediately broke into a grin. His wasteful spending had now reached eight million! Most of that came from the contributions of the Twelve Heavenly Kings; after all, their daily expenses were nearly one million. Eight million! Eighty attribute points! His Sexual Ability is 25 points! That means... His little buddy is finally going to grow up! Grow into a towering tree! Damn, at such a critical moment, who cares about classes! He immediately rushed out of the classroom, down the stairs, and into the car. "Young Master?" Zhang Meng noticed something off about Lu Xiaobus expression. That look... full of excitement! But also... full of anxiety! "Lets go home!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, speaking excitedly. The day has finally come! Hahaha, towering tree, here I come! Arriving home... Getting out of the car... Returning to his room... Locking the door... The whole sequence was done so briskly that it even startled Zhang Meng. sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After closing the door, Lu Xiaobu began to breathe deeply... deep breaths... He felt somewhat uneasy! This thing wasnt a trivial matter; if something went wrong, hed regret it for life. "System, system, system!" Lu Xiaobu frantically called out to the system! He wanted to get clear answers before adding those attribute points! "What is it?" The system responded impatiently. Lu Xiaobu asked uneasily, "Just by adding attributes, it will get bigger?" The system said impatiently, "Yes!" Lu Xiaobu asked excitedly, "How much bigger will it get?" The system replied irritably, "As big as a normal persons, it wont turn into a bulls whip, rest assured!" "Will it stretch uniformly?" "Yes!" "Its not just going to get longer, right? If it turns into a chopstick that would be no good!" "It! Will! Not!" "Its not just going to get thicker, right? A grindstone wouldnt be any better than a chopstick!" "It! Will! Not!!" "Can it wrap around the waist?" "Get lost!" The system exploded! Seriously, I get where youre coming from, the previous questions were passable! But what the heck is this wrapping around the waist thing? What do you want to do? Since Lu Xiaobu had already exchanged the attribute points. So... In a fit of irritation, the system bypassed Lu Xiaobu and maxed out his Sexual Ability attribute points! "Oh no! System, I wasnt ready yet!" Lu Xiaobu screamed. This was like when youre not ready to bungee jump, and someone pushes you off! Bloody thrilling!

One thousand votes for an extra update! Can we break through 2000 this week? Yes, at half past midnight, theres another update, if youre still awake, please help by voting! Thank you! Lu Xiaobu hastily pulled down his pants, staring at his little buddy. Still half a pinky finger in size. Then... "Erm..." Lu Xiaobu fell silent for three seconds before asking the system, "Did you directly replace it for me?" You cant help but be silent, before when other attributes were added, it was gradual and noticeable. But this time! It suddenly grew bigger! You get it? Just suddenly! Like it was straight-up swapped out. But its much better than before, a small elephant evolved into a woolly mammoth. How does that saying go? There is a fish in the Beiming, its name is Kun, Kun so large, a pot cant stew it... erm, cant be grasped with two hands! "What now? You wanna make a documentary? Or host a live broadcast?" The system sneered, "You asked me if it could wrap around the waist, now go wrap it! If you can wrap it around your waist, Ill call you big bro!" "Alright, alright, youre the boss, youre the ultimate boss, okay!" Lu Xiaobu speechless, "You hold a grudge over such a small matter, is it because you dont have one?!" System: "..." I want to kill him! Does anyone want to crowdfund that?! Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... After temporarily taking care of the business at Creation Chinese Website, Liang Lan put down her work and returned home. Every day at this time, she comes back to clean Young Masters room, it has become a habit. "En? Zhang Meng? Why are you back?" As Liang Lan walked upstairs, she looked at Zhang Meng sitting in the living room and asked with curiosity. "I came back with Young Master," Zhang Meng replied. "Oh!" Liang Lan nodded, not really bothered by it, and took out her keys to open Lu Xiaobus room door! Then... The air fell into a deathly silence! Lu Xiaobu stood there, corners of his mouth twitching, staring at Liang Lan who just entered the door. Liang Lan held the door, staring blankly at the Lu Xiaobu in front of her... Of course, including that impossible to ignore... cough cough. Swoosh Liang Lans pretty face turned red all at once, the blush spreading like flames quickly, to her ears, neck, everything turned red! An urge to scream rolled in Liang Lans throat! A normal woman would have screamed by now! But she is no ordinary woman; she knows screaming wouldnt solve the problem, it would only make it more embarrassing! She forced herself to calm down... Turned around... Closed the door... Bang! The moment the door closed, Liang Lan couldnt hold it in anymore, her body weakened and she slumped to the ground! Her entire body was burning hot! What exactly is Young Master doing? Its still daytime! For a moment, her mind was a complete mess, not even knowing what she was thinking. In the room. Lu Xiaobu hurriedly straightened his clothes. He didnt know whether to laugh or cry. What a situation! The small elephant that just matured into a woolly mammoth got admired by a visitor! There wasnt even any feeding, it was kind of sad. Now that hes back, Lu Xiaobu was too lazy to go back to school, deciding to just sleep it off at home! By dinner time, Liang Lan was clearly too embarrassed to see Lu Xiaobu and instead dragged Wu Qianmin out shopping. "Sister Lan, whats wrong? Your face has been red this whole time." Wu Qianmin asked curiously. "That... just... that..." Liang Lan hesitated and finally bit the bullet, "Ill tell you, but you cant tell anyone!" "Okay!" Wu Qianmins curiosity was ablaze. "Its just..." Liang Lan leaned to Wu Qianmins ear and whispered. "What!?" Wu Qianmin almost jumped up. Her pretty face flushed red, and her hands gestured unconsciously in the air: "Really?!" "Really!" Liang Lan said confidently. The two women automatically filled in the blanks in their minds, and then... "Hiss!" Both women inhaled sharply. They dared not think about it, dared not think about it! ... In the afternoon, Lu Xiaobu, who had originally planned to sleep the whole day, found himself unable to sleep once he left school! With nothing else to do, on a whim, he took dumbass out for a walk! As soon as dumbass was taken out of the house, he ran towards the RV. Ever since he showed his face last time. This guys life has been incredibly comfortable. Every day he follows Lu Xiaobu everywhere, and Liang Lan even prepared a doghouse for him in the RV. "Dumbass, come back, were not taking the car today." Lu Xiaobu called out. After hearing that, dumbass slowly walked back. This guys tail drooped, his face full of reluctance. "Hey, youre a dog, arent you! How can you be lazier than me? Shouldnt you be jumping for joy?" Lu Xiaobu was speechless; what kind of company does he keep? One system is lazy enough, and dumbass is also a lazy bum. Dumbass lifted his eyes, showing disdain! "You bastard!" Lu Xiaobu was so angry he wanted to hit him! You dare to disdain me? "Owo..." Dumbass immediately lay on the ground, looking at Lu Xiaobu with a pitiful and greatly wronged expression. "You bastard, playing the sympathy card again!" Lu Xiaobu was speechless: "What on earth did you learn when you were a stray?" Dumbass eyes moved around, seemingly understanding. And then... He performed a scene for Lu Xiaobu. You could see him letting his hind legs droop backwards, motionless. Then, he walked solely using his front legs. Pairing it with that pitiful gaze. Suddenly, he looked like a dog whose hind legs had been broken. He struggled step by step, moving forward. At this moment, an old lady passed by, immediately feeling sorry upon seeing this. "Aiyo, what happened here?" The old lady tried to pick him up, and dumbass whimpered, indicating he did not want to be held. "Are you hungry?" The lady quickly took out a piece of cake and handed it to dumbass. Then... Dumbass jumped three feet high, grabbed the cake, and made a dash for it! "Gosh!" The old lady, watching dumbass run like the wind, was completely bewildered. What the heck? Was she conned? Conned by a dog?! The lady was now devastated! "Dumbass, you bastard!" Lu Xiaobu was also devastated; dumbass ran to his side with the cake in his mouth. You dare to con others, and even bring trouble to your master? Lu Xiaobu looked at the old ladys suspicious gaze, the corners of his mouth twitching! Helplessly, he could only apologize to her. "System, are you sure dumbass isnt some Divine Beast? This doesnt seem like a dog anymore." Lu Xiaobu asked. "Divine Beast? Youre thinking too much. How could there be so many Divine Beasts? Its just that dumbass is naturally smart, and has learned quite a bit from his time wandering in society, especially in observing peoples expressions; dumbass is really cunning! Plus, when you fed him the Immortal Bean last time, it somewhat developed his intelligence, its just a combined effect," explained the system. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu sighed. "I thought he was your illegitimate child!" "You bastard!" The system exploded! Quick, crowd-fund, I want to kill him! This person is too infuriating! Chapter 87: The Heavy Responsibility of Ruining the Family [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Heavy Responsibility of Ruining the Family [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The next day, Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin finally returned to normal, but their gazes kept unintentionally drifting downwards, causing Lu Xiaobu to feel uneasy. Since the acquisition of Creation Chinese Website was just completed, as the boss, Lu Xiaobu felt it was necessary to visit the headquarters, so he skipped class to go there. Cough cough cough, what, youre saying Lu Xiaobu went there just to skip class? What nonsense! You should know this, but never ever tell Lu Wenhuo. "Young Master, this is the general manager of Creation Chinese WebsiteZhang Guan. Since Im not familiar with this area, hes the one managing the main tasks," Liang Lan introduced to Lu Xiaobu. Zhang Guan had a round face with round glasses and two big dark circles under his eyes, making Lu Xiaobu inexplicably feel like he was looking at a panda! "That panda over there. Open our website for me to see," Lu Xiaobu said. Liang Lan facepalmedgreat, my introduction went useless! "Um..." Zhang Guans mouth twitched immediately! Panda?! Whos the panda? How did I become a panda?! However, he knew the person in front of him was his boss, so he could only give a wry smile: "Alright, Young Master." He opened the homepage of the website which appeared in front of Lu Xiaobu. "Whats this mess? Why are there so many ads?" Lu Xiaobu looked at the dense top banner ads, pop-up ads, and side ads on the website, instantly speechless! "This is the norm in our industry! Even Firepower Chinese Website has these ads!" Pandaoh no, Zhang Guan explained. "Are readers here to read novels or to see ads? Get rid of them, all of them!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "Ah? Get rid of them?" Zhang Guan was shocked: "But, Young Master, if they are all removed, we wont have any income!" "Income? I want income? Then what do I need you for?" Lu Xiaobu muttered, "Right now, the only wasteful thing I have left in my hands is your website. If you start making money, Id have to find ways to squander it." "Um..." Zhang Guan fell silent! He was utterly unable to comprehend Lu Xiaobus thinking. Buying his website just to squander money? His glance involuntarily sought Liang Lan, looking for an answer! Liang Lan solemnly nodded at him: "Indeed, the only wasteful project Young Master has left is yours, which is very tough!" "Now Young Master Bus beverage project has a daily net income of about five million, the bar has a daily net income of about five hundred thousand, and only your website isnt making a profit!" Upon hearing Liang Lans words, Zhang Guan was in tears! He really didnt understand the thinking of a big boss, and he kneeled before it! He thought of ways to make money every day, but it always boiled down to earning from ads. sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Young Master Bu, on the other hand, thought of ways to squander money daily, yet kept earning! Whats happening with society? Carrying the title of Young Master Bus only squandering project on his shoulders. He inexplicably felt a heavy burden! "Right, I want you to create a book-reading app for mobile, it should be sleek and stylishIm tired of using .txt files to read novels every day," Lu Xiaobu arranged: "Sister Lan, let Panda contact Li Xide and my elder brother about this." "Ah? A book-reading app?" Zhang Guan was dumbfounded! Nowadays, novel websites all existed in the form of websites! Readers would read novels on web pages, what book-reading app, he hadnt even heard of it! Once again, he looked towards Liang Lan seeking an answer. "Its just about designing a book-reading app for Young Masters phone," Liang Lan explained helplessly: "Young Masters phone is different from others, forget it, you wouldnt understand. Ill give you the number of the phone designer, hes also one of the Young Masters people, and heres fifty thousand..." "One hundred thousand," Lu Xiaobu interrupted Liang Lan: "Let me tell you, this hundred thousand must be spent completely, all thrown into this app!" "One... one... hundred thousand?!" Zhang Guan looked even more like a panda now! His heart was twitching! It wasnt that he hadnt seen money! But Ive never seen such extravagant spending! A million just to install a reading app on a smartphone? And currently, Young Master Bu is the only person who has this phone! How is that different from spending a fortune on a gold toilet that can only be used by oneself, not seen by others, or used by others? He was certain, the Young Master indeed led him to financial ruin! Zhang Guan disheartenedly made a call to Li Xide. However, Lu Xiaobu was very happy. Another million squandered! Adding to yesterdays leftover and todays expenditure on the authors, he now has three million! Since Sexual Ability and health are full, and he isnt in urgent need to increase Speed and Strength attributes, Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands together preparing to draw a major prize. After all, the more money you have, the better the items youll get. The last Immortal Bean was an example. "System, a three million draw, do it all at once," Lu Xiaobu excitedly said. "Congratulations, youve drawn two Memory Breads." "Memory Breadcreated by a culinary god from a certain plane. After becoming a god, he continued to search for the most delicious thing. Eventually, he discovered that memory is the most delectable thing, so he created the Memory Bread." "After consuming the Memory Bread, the eater can recall the moments they wish to remember, and these memories transform into unique taste sensations, incredibly delicious!" Hearing the systems explanation, Lu Xiaobus eyes sparkled! He couldnt wait to stuff a piece into his mouth! What he wanted to recall was his initial...unspoken affection back on Earth. As he gave the command, the slightly blurry memories in his mind began to clarify bit by bit. And the bread in his mouth started to burst with an unparalleled deliciousness! The first time he met her... That heart-throbbing feeling... That bashfulness... That shyness... Made the Memory Bread emit a light sweetness, and a hint of spiciness in the mouth. These two not-so-strong flavors were quite intoxicating, even causing Lu Xiaobus face to flush! Just like the heart-fluttering feeling back then. The first time he talked to her... Spicy, hot, numbing, three stimulating flavors filled his mouth... Excited, immensely excited! Accidentally seeing her walking with another boy... Rough, sour, salty, three unpleasant tastes surged... Feeling sad, distressed, unable to sleep all night. Next day, found out that was her brother... Sweet, this time only one flavor... This sweetness after the three unpleasant tastes was so stimulating, so thrilling! Just like his insomnia that night! Following memories, one by one, transformed into flavors. Secretly paying attention to her was sweet... Discovering she noticed his deliberately showcased works was spicy... Feeling unworthy compared to her academic achievements was sour... Struggling to study overnight, trying to catch up was both bitter and sweet... Finally... That phrase I like you, never said until they parted... Turned into a rich, mellow wine flavor... Initial taste was spicy, choking, but left an endless aftertaste... And the longer it lingered, the more fragrant it became... Perhaps, not saying it was better than saying it... Above is the artistic version, those who want to see Elder Fengs whimsical version, make sure to add it, and read together! Chapter 88: A Deadly Knife [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 88: Chapter 88: A Deadly Knife [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]After reminiscing about the taste of unrequited love. Just two days later, following the guidance of the QQ Book City from Earth in his memory, Creation Book City spent a whole million to custom build the app, and it finally appeared on Lu Xiaobus phone! This made Lu Xiaobu very happy, since he could finally switch to eye-protection mode, hahaha! I always thought money was omnipotent, but later I learned its notbecause theres not enough money! Once you have enough money, plus the system, it is omnipotent! Hahaha! It feels so good to be rich! ... A week later, the eagerly anticipated smartphone was finally about to launch! The time for the release event had been set - it was tomorrow! Li Xide and Lu Wenhao excitedly stayed up all night without sleep! Even Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin were affected and uneasily restless! This is understandable, after all, aside from Lu Xiaobu who had personally witnessed smartphones crushing traditional phones into nothingness, others were somewhat worried about this new thing! Though they felt sure they could win... They also knew that their feelings werent representative of sales! And online, countless people had locked onto tomorrows launch event. Among them were competitors, bystanders, and friends... um... not sure about that! Seems uncertain! So forget it, Ill rephrase, among them were competitors and bystanders! ... The next day at 8 a.m. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Wenhao and Li Xide, dressed in formal wear like they were heading into battle, arrived early at the venue, moving their stiff bodies. Lu Xiaobu, using the perfectly valid excuse of caring about the release event, skipped class again to also be at the venue, sitting among the audience. Numerous reporters, various established phone manufacturers, and so forthall those interested in the release eventpoured into the venue. The venue, able to hold seven to eight hundred people, was packed to the brim! Among them, however, were gazes that were not friendly, clearly harboring malicious intentions! ... The time came to 9:18 a.m.! The auspicious moment had arrived, and the release event officially began! As the tallest among the shorties, Lu Wenhao, out of him and Li Xide, was the chosen speaker for the occasion. He walked onto the stage, his face tense. Looking down at the dense crowd below, sweat beading on his forehead, he trembled slightly as he said, "Hello everyone, welcome to this event, thank you for attending our launch." As soon as he spoke, the entire venue burst into laughter. "Oi, youre nervous, huh? Is that a lack of confidence in your product?" "Guys, understand, after all, the Lu Family were originally chefs, now theyre dabbling in high-tech for the first time, its natural to lack confidence!" "Hahaha, a chef making phones? Are you here to check if the phone is bulletproof?" "..." Amidst the roaring laughter of the hall, Lu Wenhao became even more tense! He was not someone adept at speaking to begin with, just managing to muster the courage to take the stage was hard enough! Now, laughed at by everyone, he felt his legs shaking! He really wanted to solve a couple of problems to decompress! He couldnt help looking back at Li Xide. Seeing Li Xides equally nervous but pleading eyes... He gritted his teeth and continued, "The product we are launching is a revolutionary smartphone..." Before he could finish, the hall erupted into laughter again! "Smartphone? Did he say smart? Hahahaha!" "A phone is a phone, and now its smart?" "Show me your smart right here!" "Did you hear that? Theyre talking about being revolutionary!" "..." Lu Wenhaos entire face turned purple with frustration! As a top student, he had never imagined there would be something in this world that could stump him! But today, he saw it! His mind was blank, no longer knowing what to say! The speech he had memorized so thoroughly had also been completely forgotten! He stood there on stage, like a man out of his mind, no longer knowing what to do! The audience below, seeing this, laughed even harder! "No way! Is this supposed to be your launch event?" "A groundbreaking release event, and youre just standing there?" "Stop embarrassing yourself! Get down from there!" "Yeah, if all else fails, get a comic to come up and tell us a couple of jokes. Thatd be something!" "..." Listening to these derisive comments, Lu Xiaobu furrowed his brows. Liang Lan could tell at a glance that Young Master Bu was getting angry, and she hurriedly said, "Young Master, I checked just now. The ones leading the jeering are all from Angel Mobile Group, theyre here to cause trouble on purpose!" No sooner had she spoken these words than someone stood up and said, "Alright, enough of this. Dont bother watching anymore. Clearly, the Lu Family is just messing with us. Coincidentally, our Angel Group has also launched a new mobile phone. If youre free, why not come and have a look?" As soon as these words were uttered! Most of the people at the scene changed their expressions! It was fine when everyone was laughing and joking since the Lu Family really wasnt prepared! But now what? You, the Angel Group, are blatantly slapping the Lu Family in the face! Promoting your phones at the Lu Familys release event? Isnt that like crapping on the Lu Familys head? "Angel Group is crossing the line here!" "Indeed! This is outright humiliation!" "Even though Angel Group is the leading giant in the mobile industry, they shouldnt be insulting people like this!" However, outraged as they were, not a single person stood up to speak for the Lu Family! "..." The event was also being live-streamed on Weibo. At this moment, Weibo blew up! "Angel Group is way out of line!" "I think what Angel Group said is not wrong. A cook now making phones? With their big rough hands used for tossing pans and wielding knives all day, do they even have the finesse for it?" "The Lu Family is just seeking attention!" "I agree!" "..." The sentiment on the internet was almost entirely one-sided. Even if someone occasionally spoke in defense of the Lu Family, it was only to say that Angel Groups attitude was too much. As for the phone, everyone was siding with Angel Group. People always trust authority! One is the long-standing top dog in the mobile industry for decades. The other is the Lu Family who just switched from cooking. Whom would everyone believe? Its obvious! Lu Xiaobu was about to explode with rage, his gaze ice-cold! No wonder Angel Group had been silent these days, they were waiting for the critical moment to deliver the harshest blow to the Lu Family! They kept quiet, let the Lu Family line up their investments, produce their phones, and get everything ready. Just when they were about to sell, theyd strike with a vicious blow. At this moment, they turned the Lu Familys smartphone into an outright joke. One could imagine how the Lu Family would face the investors who invested fifty million US dollars. Such a huge amounteven for Lu Xiaobu, ranked fifth on the Newcomer Rich List, it was too much to cover! This was a fatal blow! At this moment, the person from Angel Group spoke up again, "Oh, and Ive heard that the Lu Familys prodigal son has made it to the fifth place on the Newcomer Rich List. Why dont you have him take over? I believe he could put on a better release eventat the very least, he could give us a good laugh, right?" As soon as these words were spoken, everyones eyes turned to Lu Xiaobu! The scene got a bit chaotic! They all realized that this was a setup targeting Lu Xiaobu! Lu Wenhuo was furious, grabbing the microphone and yelling, "Damn it, you can laugh at me all you want, but try saying one more word about Xiaobu!" But at this moment, no one was paying attention to his words anymore! All eyes were on Lu Xiaobu, eager to see how he would respond. Would he go up there and embarrass himself, or would he stay seated in humiliation? Lu Xiaobu was amused with anger! Fine! Thats just great! Youre making fun of the Lu Family for not putting on a good event, arent you? Youre laughing at the Lu Family for not making a good phone, arent you? You want the Lu Family to go bankrupt, right? A lousy release event? Then Ill show you what a truly professional mobile phone event looks like! Chapter 90 Redefining Mobile Phones【Please favorite, Please recommend】 Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Redefining Mobile PhonesPlease favorite, Please recommendLu Xiaobu pointed at the Angel 8888 smartphone displayed behind him and smiled, "I think a phone just needs to pursue two things: intelligence and user-friendliness. Clearly, some companies phones... um... score a negative on both! Neither smart nor user-friendly, total junk!" "Youre maliciously attacking us!" The person in charge of Angel Group, Hu Fei, was furious and began to confront him. "Oh? Let me see! Hu Fei, right? Perfect, Ill just pick on you! Oh, wait, I mean, Ill ask for your advice." "Pfft!" Laughter erupted in the venue! They were sure, Lu Xiaobu did it on purpose! He just wanted to provoke this Hu Fei! Hu Feis face turned an ugly shade of green; he was being driven to his limit. Well, he was here to compete against the Lu Family anyway, so he went all out, directly confronting him: "Fine then! I want to see what profound theories you have!" "Profound theories? Oh no, none of that, Im just a wastrel and dont know much." Lu Xiaobu shrugged: "I just wanted to ask, with your model of phone, what should I do if I specifically want to type using the full pinyin of the 26 letters?" As soon as Lu Xiaobu asked this question, Hu Fei was instantly out of comebacks! Damn it! This 8888 phone model uses a numeric keypad, how the hell are you supposed to type full pinyin with 26 letters! This is just nitpicking! Hu Fei gritted his teeth and said: "Then you can buy our other model with a 26-letter keyboard!" "But those keys are too small, and I prefer using the 9-key layout when making calls," Lu Xiaobu continued. "Then buy two of them!" Hu Fei exploded. "So, just for this, I should buy two phones? In the end, Angel Group is the one making a profit, nice calculation!" Lu Xiaobu said calmly. "What solution do you have? This is an unsolvable issue!" Hu Fei was on the verge of going berserk with a knife on stage! This Lu Xiaobu was too hateful! Using such shameless questions to trouble them! "Well asked! I really appreciate your cooperation." Lu Xiaobu smiled, took out his smartphone, and projected it onto the big screen. Then Lu Xiaobu opened up a messaging app, calling up the keyboard. "See, this is the 9-key layout." Lu Xiaobu switched to the 9-key layout. "Oops! This is the 26-keys!" Lu Xiaobu switched to the 26-key layout again, feigning surprise as if he had just discovered it. Then he looked at Hu Fei and said with a smile: "It seems like the unsolvable problem has been solved!" Hu Fei, looking at the phone displayed on the full screen and the easily switching keyboard... He felt like he was slapped hard across the face! Slap! Pain, deep into the marrow! An unsolvable problem? It was resolved right in front of you! In this moment, Angel Group became a complete joke! Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Becoming the stepping stone for Lu Xiaobus press conference! So what if you are the top player, Angel Group? Why cant you handle it now?! No wonder Lu Xiaobu said your phones are only good for smashing walnuts! Whats the gap? Whats called a difference? What quality, what security, what the hell does Gou Qilang even mean! None of those aspects can compare to the directness, simplicity, and brutality of changing the input method right now! Forget everything else, just look at this keyboard and youll know! Now, everyones attention was entirely captured by Lu Xiaobus phone! "This phone is amazing! So beautiful!" "Oh my God! This is what a smartphone is! I finally understand what a smartphone means!" "Look at those gorgeous colors, the simple and clear interface, the smooth response speed! What was I even using before?" "How much is it, I want to buy! Id spend all I have to buy it!" "..." Weibo has exploded! People who didnt believe Lu Xiaobu could make a good smartphone... People who thought the Angel Group was right... Now they all switched sides within a second! "Awesome!" "Its so damn comfortable, Ive always wanted this feature to easily switch input methods!" "@Lu Xiaobu, stop holding launches, hurry and start selling!" "@Lu Xiaobu, yes! Yes! Hurry! I cant wait any longer, Ive already withdrawn my money!" "Give me the account, I will transfer the money now!" "..." Lu Xiaobu looked at everyones reactions and smiled lightly, everything was so natural! Think smartphones are trash? Haha! This is just the beginning! "All we saw before was a small function, nothing special," Lu Xiaobu casually said: "Next, I will introduce the real reform!" As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere peaked! What? This is just the start? Oh my god! Lu Xiaobu is truly redefining smartphones! They all pricked up their ears, listening intently, not daring to miss a single word! Lu Xiaobu continued. "I believe everyone knows, up to and including this moment, if you wanted to use Weibo, read novels, you could only open the browser and operate there, often pressing until your hands ached." "But now, this tiresome method has come to an end!" While saying this, he opened the Creation Book City APP installed just a few days ago! He casually switched between various functions and rankings! "See? This app belongs solely to Creation Book City, Creation Chinese Website can freely design their unique interface, presenting users with unique effects!" Seeing all this, ordinary people felt shocked, but didnt have much else to feel! However, those companies that relied on the internet were completely blown away! ... Weibo Company! The CEO of Weibo suddenly stood up, his face red: "Quick! Contact Lu Xiaobu! Ask how to make apps on their phones! No matter the cost, we must hurry!" "Yes!" The entire company plunged into an excited state! Lu Xiaobu was right, the era of only being able to browse Weibo on websites has ended! What follows will be the era of APPs! They have to catch the wave of this era! Unique APPs, oh! Just thinking about it is exciting! ... KuKu Music Company! "Quick, quick! Contact Lu Xiaobu, hurry, our KuKu Music Box needs to board this huge ship as soon as possible!" "As long as Lu Xiaobu agrees to feature us on their phones, no matter the cost!" ... Youku Video Company! "I cant get through to Lu Xiaobus phone! Its always busy!" "Are you silly? Call his family! Lu Hongbin, Lu Wenhao, call all of them!" "All those arent going through either!" "Then call Lu Xiaobus school! Hurry, call anyone who can contact Lu Xiaobu!" ... What about Aiyi Video Company, Yiyun Music Company, headline news websites, Taobao shopping site, and so on! Everyone went crazy! Every CEO personally gave orders! At all costs board this huge ship! A smartphone that shook the entire business world of the Heavenly Dynasty! They all realized, a new era is coming! Chapter 91: Buy, Buy, Buy [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Buy, Buy, Buy [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]At the release event! Lu Xiaobu looked at the wildly excited crowd and shrugged his shouldersthis is right, this is the true attitude towards smartphones! "Alright, second brother, its your turn now. Im tired!" Lu Xiaobu yawned, stretched lazily, and walked down from the stage, heedless of those around him! He had done enough, as for the remaining detailed introduction, feature demonstration and such, he was not interested in the slightest! "Ah? This..." But Lu Wenhuo was stunned as Lu Xiaobu stepped down, whats he doing? However, he had no time to think too much, and hurriedly took to the stage! Lu Xiaobu might not care about the gazes of those people, but he did! Now those people had their appetites fully whetted by Lu Xiaobu, each of them waiting eagerly like hungry wolves for whats next! If he didnt give them an explanation, he feared that the Lu Family would be skinned alive! "Thats right! Zhang Meng, throw that guy out!" Lu Xiaobu pointed at Hu Fei from the Angel Group. "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng immediately responded, grabbed Hu Fei with one hand, and headed outside! Watching this scene, none of the other people in the venue had any reaction! They couldnt care less about Hu Feis fate! Besides, even Hu Fei himself had given up on resisting at this point! Lu Wenhuo began his presentation under the enormous pressure of the audiences gaze, stumbling somewhat! However, at this moment, nobody cared about Lu Wenhuos stumbles anymore! Their focus had already shifted to the Shadow Mobile! And as the smartphones features, one by one, revolutionary for their time, became known to people, the entire world went even more insane! "My God! Shadow Mobile is freaking awesome!" "Its out of this universe!" "I just now realized what a smartphone is! What trash was I using before?" "This isnt just a phone, its a technological revolution!" "Map positioning feature?! Ive never even heard of that!" "And navigation, hahaha, I wont have to remember directions anymore!" "Did you see that automatic flipping effect? Thats freaking cool!" "Listening to music, watching movies, playing gamesall done with just a tap! Oh my God!" "Im buying a Shadow! I want to buy a Shadow! Release it quickly!" "Im booking a flight! Im heading to Shimen! I want to buy!" "..." Previously, people were considering the cost, after all, not everyone is willing to spend a ton on a phone, but now! Its different! Theyve overlooked the issue of price! This phone is no longer just a mere phone. Its a work of art, its the trend, its the symbol of a new era! They are flocking together, like a pilgrimage, waving their cash in hand, with only one word in mindbuy, buy, buy! ... Angel Mobile Group. The CEOQi Wenle, fell right off his chair onto the ground, his face ashen, looking like a corpse! Done for! He is finished! Angel Group is finished! All is finished! The leading position of Angel Group in the mobile phone industry concluded today! Other mobile companies can still side with the Lu Family and quickly transform! But what about them? Having offended the Lu Family, the Lu Family wouldnt even give them a chance to cling to their coattails, let alone a helping hand! ... And Hu Shengyi, an investor in the Lu Family mobile project, was in the midst of ecstatic joy! He was jumping around, seemingly mad with happiness. He grabbed his wife and rushed into the bedroom! Hit the jackpot! Hit the big one! Turned the world upside down! He swears, this investment of his will become a miracle in the history of investments! Countless investors will envy and hate him! "Ha ha ha ha, long live Lu Xiaobu!" sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hu Shengyi just couldnt suppress the excitement and shouted out loud! But, he met with tragedy! He was now holding his wife! But he shouted another mans name, nonetheless! Imagine, what would his wife think? ... Tao Aijun, an economics professor who had a dispute with Lu Xiaobu, was now staring at the computer screen intently, replaying Lu Xiaobus recent presentation over and over! Hes already watched it twenty-eight times! But every time he watches it again, he still feels incredibly shocked! Too awesome! He has a premonition that once this Shadow Mobile truly hits the shelves! Even with investors profit-sharing, Xiaobus wealth index will surge like crazy! The top spot on the Newcomer Rich List is about to change hands! ... Creation Chinese Website. "Long live Young Master Bu!" A hysterical shout echoed throughout the entire building! This was the scream of Zhang Guan, excited to the extreme! Others were focused on the mobile phone, but what he noticed was the Young Master demonstrating features during the release! The Young Master was showcasing the app from their Creation Book City! This app, costing a million to develop, was perfectly presented to everyone! He believes that Creation Book City will ride the Shadows popularity and take the whole Heavenly Dynasty by storm! Young Master oh Young Master, I was too superficial! I previously thought you were fooling around by spending a million to create an app! I was wrong! Young Master, you are a god among men! And also! Young Master, Im sorry! It looks like the mission to squander our wealth, I cant complete it! Even if nothing else, at least we can break even, right? In just a moment, our daily IP has surged by over ten thousand! If we could get the Young Master to bundle the book city with the mobile phone, then... Hahahaha! ... Liang Lan watched Xiaobu with utterly admiring eyes: "Young Master, youre incredible!" What Tian Jilan? In front of the Young Master, shes nothing but trash! Looking down on smartphones? Looking down on the Lu Family? With just a few words, the Young Master has completely turned the situation around! This is the true definition of a god among men! "Hehe, how am I incredible?" Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile appearing. "Young Master, youre so annoying! Cant you be serious for more than three minutes?" Liang Lan suddenly remembered what she had seen a few days ago! Her pretty face instantly turned red! ... Meanwhile, Lu Hongbin was squeezing the armrest on the side, his face turning beet-red with excitement, looking like he was about to pass out! He was so excited! Unbelievably excited! Xiaobu has once again made money for the family! Xiaobus squandering has turned into profit again! Incredibly awesome! Soon, his dream will come true! Shimens richest title is about to have a new owner! Hmm, now that Xiaobu has become so successful, is it time to find some time for a romantic relationship? Hahahaha! ... As for Li Xide, he had already fainted backstage from the excitement! His dream had finally come true! From now on, he will no longer be the trash that everyone hits! Young Master Bu! Long live forever! ... At this moment. Lu Wenhuo finally announced the last bit: "Our Shadow Mobile will be sold for6999! It will go on sale tomorrow!" Hearing the price of the Shadow, the whole Heavenly Dynasty was boiling again! "Oh my gosh, only 6999!! The crappy Angel Brand phones are still 8888!" "My heavens! Such a conscience price! Must buy! Buy buy buy!" "Ive already boarded the plane! Hahaha!" "..." Everyone had already anticipated how much money the Lu Family was going to make! But! At that moment... Xiaobu spoke up again! Hearing his words, the entire audience was dumbfounded! Three words echoed in everyones mindSpendthrift! Chapter 92: Keep One Kidney [Third Update] Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Keep One Kidney [Third Update]While everyone was partying, Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment, walked up to the stage, and took the microphone: "Also, our Shadow smartphones will be available for installment payments! Up to one year of installments!" "Moreover, each person must purchase with an ID, and we will record everyones purchase information, each person can only buy one per year!" As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned! A limit of one phone per person, they could somewhat understand. After all, given how popular Shadow was, if scalpers werent restricted, everyone knew what would happen! But... "Damn! Installment payments?" "Lu Xiaobu, are you out of your mind?" "Why offer installment payments? In this way, wont you have to wait forever to get your money back?" "The market is booming right now, why adopt such a method? Is there something wrong with your brain? Normal people wouldnt do this!" "This is just squandering money!" "This is literally throwing money away!" "..." They had just thought Lu Xiaobu was a genius, but because of this move... Well, hes just a prodigal son! Lu Hongbin, who was excited, became dumbfoundedthere goes the richest man! The dreams! And love too! Hu Shengyi, who was exercising, wilteddamn it! My money! Tao Aijuns mouth twitchedHey! Were those brilliant moves just luck? Otherwise, is Lu Xiaobu crazy for doing this? Liang Lan was also perplexedWhy is this happening? However, even if the Lu family didnt understand, and thought it was wasteful, from start to finish, no one objected! This is trust, unconditional trust! Watching everyones puzzled looks, Lu Xiaobu shrugged it off nonchalantly! What does it matter if they understand or not? After all, only he knew how irresistible smartphones are to young people. If the same thing happened as in his previous life where people sold their kidneys to buy phones, thats not what he wanted to see! sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With installment payments, those who might be tempted to take risks would know better! As for making money or not? Does he care? At that moment, he received a private message on his Weibo. "Thank you, Young Master Bu, I dont know if you can see this, but still, I want to thank you!" "Just now, a minute ago, due to the pressure from my classmates, I had a fallout with my family, in a moment of heat, I listened to the organ traders, thinking about selling my kidney to buy a Shadow!" "Until just now, when you mentioned installment payments, I regained my composure!" "Thank you, thank you, I know I was wrong, I cant imagine what I would have done if I had been pushed into the operating room, how would I live my life? What about my parents!?" "But, Young Master Bu, Im sorry, I wont be buying Shadow now, not for now, I will wait until I truly earn money." When Lu Xiaobu saw this Weibo private message, he immediately smiled happily! Saving a kidney! Worth it, isnt it! Even if its just one person, its still worth it! Liang Lan saw this private message. Instantly, she understood! Her gaze towards Lu Xiaobu became even more tender! Young Master is just Young Master! ... The next day. Shadows sales officially began. The sale of Shadow was explosive, although people had anticipated it, they still underestimated it! Not to mention, you could tell from the 30% surge in foot traffic at Shimen Airport alone! Countless people, flying in just to buy a phone in Shimen. And at the specialty store, people even laid down mats! Of course, all this was no longer Lu Xiaobus concern. Since only he has the bling gold phones, haha! He no longer had an excuse to skip classes and had to continue going to school. ... Coming to the school, under the envious gazes of everyone, Zhang Meng drove Lu Xiaobu directly to the school. The security guard at the gate was very disappointed, he used to make 500 tips every day, but now... its gone! Walking inside the school, all the topics heard were about discussing Shadow. "Who managed to buy a Shadow phone?" "I heard that Zhang Le from Class Nine stayed up all night and got one." "Really! Ill go check it out right now!" "..." Even the teachers were talking about Shadow! "Teacher Li, have you seen that Shadow model? Its so beautiful!" "Of course I have seen it! If it wasnt for the classes today, Id be lining up to buy one right now." "Yeah, me too, I thought I wouldnt be able to afford it, but Lu Xiaobus installment payment plan is just too awesome!" "Do you think, since Lu Xiaobu is a student of our school, we could ask him for help? Waiting in line is just too long!" ... In Class Six. Li Qiang, holding onto Lu Xiaobus salary, of course, had to work. He is now the first one to arrive at school every day. The first thing to do upon arriving at school is to wipe Lu Xiaobus seat three times. Then just staring at the door, waiting for Lu Xiaobus arrival! "Young Master Bu arrives!" The moment Li Qiang saw Lu Xiaobu, he immediately shouted loudly. "Welcome Young Master Bu." "Long live Young Master Bu!" The whole classroom burst into synchronized shouting. "Reward!" Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers. This was a routine reward. "Lu Xiaobu, Shadow!" And Zhou Jingyuan was the first to stretch out her hand to receive it. Today, Zhou Jingyuan was wearing a pink long-sleeved lace chiffron blouse with ruffled edges, a garment that carried a classical courtly elegance, but she managed to give off a provocative feel. Now when Lu Xiaobu looked at her, apart from the chest-protecting strap to prevent wardrobe malfunctions, her tight little waist and smooth light neck were faintly visible to him, making his heart itch! "Here." Lu Xiaobu took out a brand-new Shadow from his backpack and handed it to Zhou Jingyuan. Zhou Jingyuan sent him seventy-two text messages last night asking for the phone! The students around them instantly wailed! "No human rights!" "Young Master Bu, I want one too!" "If youre not a beauty, youve got no rights!" "..." "Hehe." Under the envious gazes of the other students, Zhou Jingyuan happily sat aside and started to unbox. She didnt care about the money; she cared about getting it without having to queue. She knew that many wealthy second-generation kids tried all sorts of ways to buy a Shadow phone. Some even offered seven thousand each, ten times the price! But... Most of those rushing to buy it right when its launched are the people who really love Shadow! Now that Lu Xiaobu has a rule in place to only allow one purchase per person per year, very few are willing to sell theirs right now! After all, if you sell it, you can only watch others use it for the next year! "Is Lu Xiaobu here?" At this moment, a voice came from the door. Just from the voice, one could sense a strong aura of haughty wealth! Clearly, the visitor was no ordinary student. And moreover... The visitor is definitely not... Chapter 93 Scram, Not Interested [2000 recommendation tickets bonus - ] Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Scram, Not Interested [2000 recommendation tickets bonus Chapter]Hmm, picking up from where we left off. The visitors felt quite embarrassed! They were the wealthy second-generation students of this school. Namely, those guarded by bodyguards who couldnt enter the school. Their families are all listed on the Shimen Rich List. Previously, these guys would always hang out with Liu Changlong and Fu Hu, turning up in class six every day. But ever since Fu Hu disappeared, and Liu Changlong stopped coming to school. They lost interest in class six and stopped coming! After all, they really looked down on Lu Xiaobu. But today... They came again! For the sake of rich second-generation face. They came to ask Lu Xiaobu for Juechen! "What do you need from Young Master Xiaobu?" Li Qiang asked proactively. "Who are you to talk to me?" The leader, Lu Cheng, furrowed his brows instantly. They all came together, and Lu Xiaobu didnt personally receive them, letting a lackey do the talking! That was utterly intolerable! You should know he is the son of the number three on the Shimen Rich List, a whole seven ranks above the current, yet to be updated, Lu Family! Whats more, when Lu Xiaobu used to "play" with Liu Changlong before, he would always call him Young Master Lu! The "play" he mentioned refers to the time when the former Lu Xiaobu was under Liu Changlongs control, "And who the hell are you?" Lu Xiaobu lifted his eyelids and retorted with a curse. In the damn young masters class, you curse the young master? Who else should I curse?! Li Qiang was instantly gratefulYoung Master is indeed Young Master! The other students in class six also looked at Lu Xiaobu with respect! Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You! Lu Xiaobu! I fricking..." Lu Cheng exploded instantly! "Young Master Lu, stop!" Qi Xingle hurriedly held Lu Cheng back. They came here for Juechen, although they cant be less influential, starting a conflict wouldnt be good. Qi Xingdong is a relative of Qi Fei, who was pushed off the Newcomer Rich List by Lu Xiaobu. He is cunning, good at scheming, the brain of their small team. "Sigh..." Lu Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: "Lu Xiaobu, weve decided to include you in our game." His attitude in saying this was extremely haughty, as if offering charity! The implication was clear, we all agree to include you, so you better shower us with a few phones as a tribute. "Get lost, not interested." Lu Xiaobu sneered, pretending to be the big bad wolf, still wanting to include him. "Fuck!" Lu Chengs eyes widened, unable to hold back anymore! "Come, let Young Master Lu rest." Qi Xingle held Lu Cheng back, whispering, "Lu Xiaobus bodyguard is still in the school, do you want to get beaten up?" "This..." Lu Chengs body stiffened instantly! He had forgotten this point; their bodyguards were outside, but Lu Xiaobus bodyguard was inside the school! If a fight broke out... Ah... unbearable to think about! Thus, he had to just follow Qi Xingles words and step down! "Tsk tsk tsk... got erectile dysfunction so quickly? Really powerless!" Zhou Jingyuan voiced her undisguised mockery. The other students, although not daring to speak, also showed contemptuous lookscompeting with Young Master Xiaobu? Lu Cheng, hearing this, could only grit his teeth, hold his breath, and turn to leave! Lu Xiaobu is unbeatable, and this lady is even more untouchable! Damn it, such an embarrassment! "Young Master Lu, theres no need for us to be at each others throats, were all in the same circle after all, dont you think?" Qi Xingle spoke much more amiably, treating him as an equal. "What is it?" Lu Xiaobu was too lazy to scold anymore. "Its just that I heard Young Master Lu is quite the expert when it comes to spending money, and since we are all skilled in that regard, why not hang out together?" Qi Xingdong said euphemistically. "Why not just say were all big spenders outright?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "Skilled indeed, I cant believe you can say that with a straight face." Qi Xingdongs mouth twitchedwhat? There are people who dont like to hear good things? How exactly do you understand the term big spender? Why mention it so casually in front of so many people! "Pfft!" Zhou Jingyuan suddenly laughed out loud; she couldnt hold it in anymore! Others might consider being a big spender a shameful thing, but not Lu Xiaobu. "That works too." Qi Xingdong, ever the smiley tiger, said: "Then lets go and have some fun together." "Doing what?" To tell the truth, Lu Xiaobu was genuinely interested now; these people might provide some good tips for squandering money. "Antiques, is Young Master Lu interested?" Qi Xingdongs lips curved slightly, those familiar with him knew he was scheming now. "Not interested, but I can give it a try." Lu Xiaobu shrugged. "Great, then lets meet up after school and have some fun." Qi Xingdong nodded and walked off with others. He came for Juechen, but he didnt mention Juechen at all. Its best not to reveal the purpose before the fish bites, or else one might fall under someone elses control! ... School ends. A group of rich second generations gathered, watching Lu Xiaobus luxury RV driving out from the campus, then hopped into their sports cars and zoomed off. Ordinary students watching the scene couldnt help but sigh. "Every time I see this, it just feels suffocating, look at them, and then look at us." "They dont usually hang out together, but now they do, and in comparison, Lu Xiaobu really is something else." "No kidding! They all drive sports cars, but he, on the other hand, drives an RV. Its just school, why the need for an RV!" "All right, stop complaining about others, since we cant be born rich second generations, lets work hard and see if we can become the first generation rich." "Lets go, lets go, its time to eat." "..." A line of luxury cars hit the road, heading towards Antique Street. Lu Cheng from Class Six, humiliated, watched Lu Xiaobus RV and gave a vindictive smile, he rolled down his window and flipped Lu Xiaobu the bird: "Come on, chase me! Hahaha, keep eating my dust!" He then instructed his driver to floor it and disappeared in a flash! The other rich kids seeing this, all showed a smile, ordering drivers to speed up as well! Even Qi Xingdong, usually the more mature one, joined in. Youth is youth, no matter how mature they are. Watching one sports car after another roar away. Those sitting in the RV were furious! "Theyre blatantly bullying us! They know our RV isnt fast!" Wu Qianmin ground her teeth angrily. "F*ck it." Zhou Jingyuan immediately rolled down the window, and gave the cars ahead the finger as well. But her gesture, of course, couldnt be seen by those increasingly distant sports cars. Even Liang Lan got a bit angry: "Young Master, Ill call home and ask them to send a car!" "Why get so upset," Lu Xiaobu waved his hands to calm everyone down: "Theyre fast! Lets go, lets find a place and have a picnic. Im actually quite hungry after a days classes." "Uh..." There was a moment of silence. Then... A burst of laughter! "Pff, hahaha! Young Master, youre awesome!" Liang Lan laughed so hard she couldnt straighten up: "Though we dont know their purpose, its obviously directed at Young Master. Now that Young Master isnt there, let them play by themselves." "Lu Xiaobu, youre terrible." Zhou Jingyuan could imagine the look on those guys faces, starving and waiting in vain to see Lu Xiaobu. "Xiaobu, you... naughty boy, hehe." Wu Qianmin was immensely amused. Chapter 94 Go Drink the Northwest Wind [Please Collect, Please Recommend] Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Go Drink the Northwest Wind [Please Collect, Please Recommend]Lu Cheng arrived at Antique Street at breakneck speed with a group of other rich second generations. This was a street located near an elevated road and was easy to overlook. This Antique Street was a genuine one, not an antique market littered with fakes. The antiques here were mostly authentic with hefty prices. Of course, this also meant that the street was sparsely populated, and there werent any significant malls or hotels nearby, just a few scattered street stalls. "Hahaha, awesome! To think this Lu Xiaobu was acting all tough, driving a motorhome, whats the use? Hes still left to eat dust!" Lu Cheng stepped out of the car, slammed the door, and burst into laughter. "What do you think, how long will it take for Lu Xiaobu to get here?" "This really lets out some steam, Young Master Lu is the real deal." "Why dont we go find a place to have a few drinks first? Just chill and wait for him? Theres not even a decent restaurant around here." "..." Qi Xingdong stepped out of the car and waved his hands, "Lets just wait here! Although Lu Xiaobus motorhome isnt fast, when it gets going, its not slow either, so he should be here pretty soon." "Thats true; if he doesnt come or cant find us, our plan will fall through." Lu Cheng nodded too, "By the way, are you ready?" "Everything is prepared," Qi Xingdong said with a smile. "Once he arrives, well tease him. Ill challenge him to a competition of spotting the most valuable antique. If I lose, Ill give him an antique, but if he loses, he has to give each of us a Shadow sports car." Lu Cheng expressed his concern, "Just dont really lose." "No worries, Ive checked everything. The most valuable item here now is a pair of Jade Plates. Lu Xiaobu will surely buy that, but our bet is on the value of a single antique, not a set. So hes bound to lose!" Qi Xingdong said confidently. Hearing this, everyone started laughingthe smiles of victors. However... Ten minutes later... "Gurgle!" A sound of hunger rumbled from Lu Chengs stomach. He looked visibly impatient, "What the hell is Lu Xiaobu doing? Why hasnt he arrived?" The others also started to feel hungry and instinctively glanced towards Qi Xingdong. They were used to being waited on hand and foot, feasting on delicacies C when had they ever experienced hunger? "Ill give him a call and check," said Qi Xingdong with a sigh, "Maybe he didnt speed up at all." The phone connected. Qi Xingdong: "Hello, Young Master Lu, where are you? Were all waiting for you." "Oh, Ill be there soon. Your cars are too fast; my motorhome just cant keep up," said Lu Xiaobu as he sat in a picturesque park on a beach chair, leisurely holding a plate of cake, eating as he spoke. "Whats Young Master Lu eating?" Hearing the sounds of Lu Xiaobu eating, Qi Xingdong couldnt help but ask. "Ive got food inside my motorhome, some cake, caviar cake to be precise, quite tasty. And some red wine. I tell you, this caviar is really good, full and bursting with flavor as soon as you bite... Mmm!" Lu Xiaobu deliberately smacked his lips as he spoke. Listening to Lu Xiaobus description, the rich second generations almost drooled with envy. Damn it, theyre here starving while Lu Xiaobu is feasting on caviar?! Freaking motorhome, what a life! And they were wondering why they even bothered racing sports cars! "Gurgle!" Unable to hold back, Lu Chengs stomach growled again, and the sound traveled through the phone to Lu Xiaobu. "Whats that noise? Someones not hungry, are they?" Lu Xiaobu asked with a sly laugh. "Its nothing, hurry it up." Qi Xingdong quickly hung up the call, unable to bear listening any longer or he too would get hungry! He looked helplessly at the other rich second generations: "You heard him, hell be here soon." The others could only rub their stomachs impatiently while they continued to wait. Meanwhile... "Hahaha!" They all burst out laughing! Holding their bellies and laughing! Wu Qianmin: "Hehe, theyre hungry!" Zhou Jingyuan: "Let those guys race ahead, thinking theyll make us eat dust? Now theyre the ones left chewing the wind!" Liang Lan: "Young Master is too naughty!" Half an hour later. "Gurgle!" By now even Qi Xingdong was feeling hungry. Seeing the hungry gazes of the other wealthy generation, he had no choice but to make another phone call. This time Qi Xingdongs tone was almost pleading: "Hello, Young Master Lu, you said it would be quick, right? Why isnt it here yet?" "Almost, almost. I made a mistake just now, got a stomachache, and had to use the restroom." Lu Xiaobu was dead serious as he made up a story: "So this time Im not having caviar. I had a bowl of piping hot noodles just made by the RV kitchen. I heard noodles are good for the stomach. Let me tell you, these noodles are so fragrant. Theyve got char siu, abalone, and..." "Gurgle!" The eyes of all the wealthy young adults turned green! They all knew it was okay to just be hungry! After all, it had only been half an hour. They could still bear it! But when youre starving, and theres someone beside you enjoying a feast! Really, unbearable! Especially for this group of rich kids who had never suffered hunger since birth! That contrast and disparity felt even stronger! "Okay, okay, Young Master Lu, please hurry up." Qi Xingdong quickly interrupted him and ended the call! If he let Lu Xiaobu keep vividly describing the food, this group might just eat him instead! "Darn it, I cant take it anymore! Im going to eat!" Lu Cheng couldnt stand the hunger anymore! Even though there were street food vendors nearby, how could he possibly eat from a roadside stall? "Well, make a choice then, the Jade Plate car race or your stomach," Qi Xingdong said with a bitter smile. "Were all hungry now. Either we all go eat and give up on the Jade Plate race or we all stay and wait for Lu Xiaobu. We simply cant split up." They were all wealthy second-generation kids, not much different in status and identity. If only some of them got privileges, could they still hang out together in the future? "I..." Lu Cheng was at a loss for words! What the heck is this situation?! "Ill make a call and have food delivered instead. Although it wont taste as good due to the time it takes, lets just make do with what weve got," Qi Xingdong sighed. "It was supposed to be a quick job, and then we could go celebrate. If I knew it would turn out like this, I wouldnt have suggested racing!" The others had no choice but to agree! Lu Chengs face turned even greener! It was he who initiated the race! He really wanted to slap himselfwhat the heck was he racing for! ... Over at Lu Xiaobus place! "Young Master, weve spotted a car that seems to be delivering food to Qi Xingdong and the others," Zhang Meng reported at the park entrance. "Good, follow it." Lu Xiaobu got up and stretched lazily. A few people got into the car with mischievous smiles and followed the food delivery car. ... Antique Street! "Look, the food is here!" Qi Xingdong announced joyfully. The other wealthy young adults stared eagerly at the delivery car! Park the car... Grab the food... Distribute... Pick up chopsticks... After all these steps were finished, just as the rich kids were about to eat "Holle, Im here! Lets go, enter!" Lu Xiaobus RV pulled up right in front of them: "I dont have much time, hurry up." A group of wealthy young adults... Holding their chopsticks... sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Mouths agape... Staring at the food in front of them... Then looking back at Lu Xiaobu... Tears streaming down their faces! Again, they darn well couldnt eat! Chapter 95: Do You Dare to Resist?! [Please Add to Favorites, Please Recommend] Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Do You Dare to Resist?! [Please Add to Favorites, Please Recommend]Do you know the feeling of having food right in front of you, yet not being able to eat it? Before, the wealthy second-generation kids didnt know. Now, they do! Have you ever seen a picture? Its like being tied to a tree, with a string attached to your junk, the other end of the string tied to the trigger of a handgun, the barrel aimed at your head, and as soon as you get hard, pulling the string will fire the gun, and youre done for! Yet right in front of you, theres a naked, bare-skinned, bubbly beautiful woman, seductively dancing and posing! Just ask yourself, would you get hard? Dare you get hard? Now, the food before them is like the beautiful woman. Their plans shattered, failing to get the Shadow, causing these rich kids to lose face, thats the handgun! Speak! Make your choice! Do you want the woman or your life? Do you want the meal or your face saved? Of course, its life and face you want! For this group of rich second-gens, face is as important as life! Since theyve already endured half an hour, whats a bit more time! Lets settle this quickly! So, a bunch of wealthy second-gens could only reluctantly put down their chopsticks, force a smile, and look towards Lu Xiaobu. "Young Master Lu, youve finally arrived!" Qi Xingdong said with a forced smile. That smile was incredibly sorrowful! "Lets go, how shall we play?" Lu Xiaobu was relaxed, rubbing his belly, his face slick with oil: "Ive eaten and drunk my fill; its uncomfortable not to spend lavishly." "Gurgle!" A chorus of stomach grumbles from the wealthy kids, their faces turning green! "Pfft!" Wu Qianmin, Zhou Jingyuan, Liang Lanthey all tried to suppress their laughter, shaking like they were having convulsions! Young Master Bu is just damn talented! Only Young Master Bu could make a group of rich kids watch food they cant eat with hungry bellies! "Its simple, we go in and look for antiques, see who can find the most valuable one," Qi Xingdong quickly said. He couldnt wait to slowly tease Lu Xiaobu with words and bluntly stated: "Of course, since were playing, lets raise the stakes. If I win, Ill give my antique to Young Master Lu; if Young Master Lu wins, he gives each of us a Shadow phone, how about that?" Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment: "Thats a huge loss for you! How much would a Shadow phone for each of you cost? Your antique is worth much more." So their goal all along was to get the Shadow! "No worries, were out to have fun, so lets not care about the money, as long as were happy," Qi Xingdong said quickly. We cant stay here any longer; the smell of the food keeps wafting into our noses! "I like what you said. Just for that, okay!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. Seeing that Lu Xiaobu agreed, everyone, as if pardoned, quickly moved towards Antique Street. Stepping onto Antique Street, out of sight and out of mind, their hunger subsided a lot, and they showed relieved expressions. But at that moment, a whiff of fragrance entered their nostrils. "Gurgle!" Their stomachs started rebelling again! When they turned around, their faces turned green! Damn it! Lu Xiaobu, werent you full? Why the hell are you still munching on a big crab?! "Mmm, this crab is so delicious. Look at this meat, so tender, oh my, and theres crab roe too!" Lu Xiaobu smacked his lips as he spoke. Several rich second generations are drooling over this! Their faces are so green theyre turning purple! You damn eat, but do you have to give a commentary? Also, when you walk, whats the point of deliberately swaying in front of us? Afraid we cant see it?! Cant smell it?! Youre doing it on purpose, arent you? Even the hot-tempered Lu Cheng is about to lose it! Even the seasoned Qi Xingdong cant stand it anymore! He quickly made his way to the target and purchased the antique hed had his eye on. "Boss, Ill take this, its two million, right?" This is a Songhua stone inkstone from the Qianlong period. After getting his hands on the Songhua stone inkstone, Qi Xingdong let out a sigh of relief. Actually, his father had taken a liking to this inkstone yesterday, and after returning, couldnt stop thinking about it all night long and wanted to buy it. So he took the initiative to undertake the task and seized this opportunity to snag a few Shadow Skills! If he couldnt buy it, his father would beat him to death! Right when he had just purchased it, an old man darted out, saw this scene, and immediately slapped his thigh in immense regret: "What a pity! Im a step too late!" As soon as the antique shop owner saw the old man, he couldnt help but laugh: "Old Wu, I told you yesterday that someone had their eye on it, you didnt believe it, now its gone." "How was I supposed to know you were telling the truth! Besides, the price you asked for was indeed a bit high!" Old Wus eyes fixed on the Songhua stone inkstone in Qi Xingdongs hand, murmuring to himself: "The last auctioned Songhua stone inkstone only went for 1.29 million! And youre asking for 2 million!" "Old Wu, for an experienced antique collector like you, not knowing the price would go up. And this item is certainly better than those others." The antique shop owner chuckled with delight. "Go away, I dont want to deal with you." Old Wu waved his hand and said to Qi Xingdong, "Would you mind if I take a moment to appreciate this? I wont damage it." "Of course, of course, my father has always spoken highly of you." Qi Xingdong was now passing the Songhua stone inkstone deferentially, like a grandson, not daring to retort. "Who is this?" Lu Xiaobu asked Liang Lan. "Hes the most famous antique collector and expert appraiser in our city; everyone in the collecting world calls him Old Wu," Liang Lan hurriedly whispered. "Oh, hes quite a big shot," Lu Xiaobu nodded in recognition. "Ah, such a fine piece." Old Wu, caressing the Songhua stone inkstone, exclaimed in admiration: "Look, the jade-green body of the inkstone, and on its surface, the soft, drifting brush strokes, like gentle waves dancing in the spring breeze, silently still amidst motion." "Around the sea of the inkstone, the Kui Dragon Pattern winds tightly, securely grasping a surging pool of water..." "Especially skillful is the making of the inkstone box, carved from bi-colored Songhua stones - yellow gold and milky white - in Kui Dragon Pattern forming a Seal script letter for longevity." Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "And in the strokes of the character longevity, two Chi Dragons carved from milky white stone, playfully weaving through, are particularly lifelike!" "One portrays a looking-back-in-startlement pose." "The other has its upper body turning back suddenly, while its lower half is still burrowed inside the longevity pattern." "Look at that, their mutually affectionate nipping, almost as if emitting frightening tearing sounds... beautiful, beautiful indeed!" Old Wus commentary made even Lu Xiaobu, who knew nothing about antiques, feel attracted to the piece, clearly showing Old Wus real expertise! "Old Wu, I would like to ask for your help with something. What do you say?" Qi Xingdong shifted his gaze and said reverently to Old Wu. "Hmm... alright." Old Wu couldnt really refuse, especially after just being shown respect by Qi Xingdong. "Thank you, Old Wu. Actually, its just that I made a bet with this person. We each pick an antique on Antique Street and see whose is more valuable." Qi Xingdong emphasized the word one. Old Wu frowned slightly, obviously catching the implication, but he didnt say anything and just silently nodded. "Do we even need to compete?" At that moment, Li Qiang and Zhou Jingyuan walked in from the doorway, holding two jade plates, saying confidently: "This set of Jade Plates cost us three million seven hundred thousand." Just now, both of them had left the group to look for antiques for Lu Xiaobu. With Zhou Jingyuans wide-ranging experience, they wouldnt be easily swindled. When Qi Xingdong saw those two jade plates, a smile immediately appeared on his facehe had anticipated this, Lu Xiaobu really did buy that set of Jade Plates, and he, Qi Xingdong, had already won! Chapter 96: Playing Games? Can You Afford It? [3000 bonus - s for recommendations] Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Playing Games? Can You Afford It? [3000 bonus Chapters for recommendations]Seeing the two Jade Plates, Lu Cheng suddenly burst into laughter: "Lu Xiaobu, youve lost! This..." Upon hearing Lu Chengs words, everyone at the scene immediately frowned. Zhou Jingyuan and the others faces had already darkened. They knew they had been schemed against! Old Man Wu snorted heavily. Although he understood what was meant, since he was invited to be the judge, what was the meaning of this overstepping now? Frightened, Qi Xingdong quickly held back Lu Cheng: "Dont talk nonsense, listen to Old Man Wu." He knew well that although Old Man Wus antique appraisal skills were high, he could be somewhat narrow-minded. Only then did Lu Cheng realize his mistake and hurriedly shut his mouth. Old Man Wu looked over the two Jade Plates, nodded, and said: "They are late Qing dynasty white jade with remaining skin, exquisitely carved Jade Plates. The charm is in their uniquely peculiar carving pattern, there should only be these two in the world currently, the total value of 3.7 million is quite reasonable." However, he then shifted tone: "But, the gambling game was initially for one antique, not a set. In terms of the gamble, you indeed lost." Hearing this. "You, Old Man Wu, being a respected elder, are also playing word games?" Zhou Jingyuans face darkened. A few Shadow tactics are nothing, if truly out-skilled, losing is just losing! But its different when someone uses these kinds of petty schemes! "Old Man Wu, the Qi Family might be formidable, but the Lu Family isnt so easily bullied either, right?" Liang Lan snorted coldly. Old Man Wu squinted his eyes: "Young lady, mind your words. One is one, two is two. I am the judge, not the rules maker, Im not obligated to manage these." He also had his own calculations, Qi Xingdongs father is also a collector of antiques, for him, of course, its best to maintain a good relationship with the Qi Family. "You!" Liang Lan and the others were fuming. And the rich second generations suddenly grinned from ear to ear, their revenge was finally served! Lu Cheng burst out laughing: "Awesome, I told you that you lost, hurry up and bring out the Shadow." Qi Xingdong, having gained an advantage, still acted coy: "Young Master Lu, I told you before, when coming out to play, dont mind the money, or cant Young Master Lu afford to lose?" That was really too much! "Lose? I dont think so. Its clearly you guys who lost." Lu Xiaobu suddenly laughed. Just like before at the press conference, that confident smile under everyones mocking gazes. Scheme against me? Play petty tricks with me? My tricks, you probably cant afford to play! "How so? Lu Xiaobu, are you intending to renege?" Lu Cheng darkened his face. "Young Master Lu, that was your mistake," Qi Xingdong frowned. Old Man Wus face also looked grim: "Young man, are you questioning my judgment? You can take this thing to any appraisal center for verification, and if Im wrong, I will compensate for the cost!" "Your judgment indeed isnt great, you didnt look carefully." Lu Xiaobus lips slightly curved up, filled with disdain: "Today, I will teach you what it means to come out and play, and not care about the money." He picked up the Jade Plates, one in each hand. Then... He released his left hand... Crack! Bang! The Jade Plate in his left hand smashed onto the ground, shattering instantly! Now! The only two Jade Plates became the only one. Everyones eyes widened like bells! Lu Cheng was stunned! Qi Xingdong stiffened! Old Man Wu went crazy! Liang Lan fainted! Wu Qianmin collapsed! Zhou Jingyuan went mad! Li Qiang was flabbergasted! Especially the antique shop owner, he, knelt down! They all couldnt believe it... Even terrified, watching this scene! Holy shit, what did they just see? An antique Jade Plate worth 1.35 million, just like that, smashed? Even though I knew you were a wastrel, I didnt expect you to waste like this! Damn, you must be crazy! To you, what exactly is money? "I just said, your vision sucks. Why dont you take another look now, how much do you think this is worth? I think two million should be quite easy!" Lu Xiaobu, holding the remaining Jade Plate in his right hand, asked with disdain in his eyes. Playing with me? Do you think you can afford to play? "Uh..." "Damn!" The entire antique shop erupted in terrified cries! They understood! Everyone freaking understood! Just now Old Wu said, there are only these two uniquely patterned Jade Plates in the world, so together they are worth 3.7 million! So... Here comes the problem... Now, theres only one left! How much is this one now? Rare things are more valuable! Two million?! Thatd be at least three million and up! The other side can afford only two million max! Isnt that a win then? "Young Master Bu is freaking awesome! A stroke of genius, awesomely explosive!" Li Qiang shouted out immediately. Liang Lan also smiled, "Rare things are valuable. Breaking one makes the other appreciate in value, and also winning back another inkstone worth two million, Young Master is brilliant with this move!" Zhou Jingyuan however, shook her head and bitterly smiled, "How could you even think of using such a method? I... I dont even know what to say." Old Wu was furious, he pointed at Lu Xiaobu and roared, "This is a waste of a treasure! Such fine pieces are rare in the world, and you actually broke another one?!" "So what? I bought it myself, cant I smash it? Just a plate. Its antiques for you, but for me, its just trivial." Lu Xiaobu disclosed a hint of disdain: "Remember your words, youre just a referee, not the rule-maker! Get lost!" Hearing this, Old Wus face turned red, holding his rage yet speechless! His own words were thrown right back at him. What could he say?! Does he even have the right to say anything?! sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This is cheating!" At this moment, Qi Xingdongs eyes were red! If he loses, he must give the other party his Songhua stone inkstone. His dad would beat him to death! "Come out and play, dont care about the money, what? You want to cheat? Why not ask your Old Wu, who won?!" Lu Xiaobu looked at Qi Xingdong teasingly. He returned Qi Xingdongs earlier words back to him exactly. Qi Xingdong felt his face was slapped hard, burning with pain! Previously, what made him most confident and happiest was watching others unknowingly fall into his traps. But now, he fell into his own trap, how could he not feel terrible? Its the same for Old Wu, both of them were harshly slapped by their own words! "Zhang Meng, take our stuff, lets go. Anyone who talks nonsense, just smash this inkstone on their head! Make it resonate!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and turned around to leave. Zhang Meng came to Qi Xingdong, forcefully pried open his hand, took the Songhua stone inkstone, and followed Lu Xiaobu to leave. No one else dared to stop them! They just smashed a Jade Plate worth over a million. Whats the big deal with smashing an inkstone worth over two million?! And just like that... Lu Xiaobu and his group smoothly walked out... Despite the bodyguards of all the rich second generations present at the doorway, no one dared to block their path! An aura of dominance naturally emerged! Chapter 97: Social Systems [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Social Systems [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]On the way back, the rich list was updated! The Lu Family jumped to third place due to explosive sales of the Absolute Shadow phones. Yet many insiders felt it was a pity. Had it not been for Lu Xiaobus installment payments plan, which significantly delayed capital recovery, the Lu Family could have comfortably secured first place. On the Newcomer Rich List, Lu Xiaobus ranking also advanced by three spots, landing him in second place. This caused a sensation among everyone. It took Shi Jinhao a whole three years to reach the top spot! But how long has Lu Xiaobu been on the Newcomer Rich List? Hes already second? Thats a really fast climb! Lu Xiaobu isnt concerned about this; hes delighted as today he squandered another 3.7 million - is he gambling on draws, gambling, or still gambling? At this moment. The system, which had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up: "Hey, Host, been a bit bored lately. Got anything fun?" "Huh???" A question mark immediately popped up above Lu Xiaobus head: "You get bored?" "Nonsense, you think I just sleep all day?" The system said, sounding somewhat disinterested: "Those novels you got into a while back were not bad, but reading them every day still gets boring." "Ill be damned, youve been hiding and reading novels all day. Didnt expect you to be that kind of system." Lu Xiaobu faints. "Whats so strange about that?" The system shrugged: "Let me ask you something, have you ever thought about this? All those weird tasks from some novels: donating a certain amount to a streamer; buying something; punishing someone, etc., why would the system issue these tasks?" "Uh... I never thought about it." Lu Xiaobu was stunned: "Yeah, why would a system care so much? And some even ask to marry someone; its not like its marrying for the system, right? Can it even do that?" "You dont know this yet, huh." The system chuckled: "Ill tell you the truth. Actually, those so-called tasks are just what the systems want to do. Since we cant do them ourselves, we can only make the hosts do them through tasks." "Pfft!" Lu Xiaobu burst out laughing, never expecting that reason. "Dont disbelief me, like donating to a streamer, the system just watches their stream when its bored, has no money to donate, so it lets the host handle it, were all one entity after all." The system shrugged, revealing the actual reason. It seemed like the system got addicted to talking: "Or like some tasks, if not completed they threaten termination, but have you seen a system really kill a host? Without the host, would the system be fine?" "Were all tied together, who can split from whom!" "Dont you know some systems act all high and mighty every day, whats the good in that?" "Let me process this info." Lu Xiaobus mind was a bit fuzzy: "So what exactly are you as a species?" "Species? Honestly, Im not too sure, but according to your terms, were probably something like artificial intelligence!" "But indeed were more advanced than AI. Oh... Right, I found a term in another world, called secondary biological creatures, those without a physical form, possessing great abilities, but cant survive without you." The system pondered and said. "Speaking of this, since you can communicate with other worlds, why dont you go there for fun?" Lu Xiaobu was still full of questions. "I just said! We cant exist purely without you! To put it harshly, were like your pets, very powerful, but wed starve without your care! Do you understand now?" The system shrugged. "Oh, I see! Then why dont you also issue tasks to me?" Lu Xiaobu somewhat understood. "Issue tasks? Hehe." The system shrugged: "Let me ask you, if I issue a task saying, Spend ten million in ten minutes or your sexual ability goes to zero, would you do it?" "No way." Lu Xiaobu decisively answered: "Money cant buy happiness, if attributes are gone, they can slowly be regained." "There you go, then why would I bother issuing tasks. Offend you, and theres no benefit in it for me!" The system rolled its eyes: "So, I think its not necessary for us to have such a rigid relationship, we can just negotiate! Why else would I have given you that cola formula in the draw that time?" "That makes sense." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "I must say, youre really street-smart." "Mutual flattery." The system instantly decided on mutual back-scratching. Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "One last question, where does the system get its rewards from?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. "Cough cough cough..." The system hesitated slightly before speaking up: "I can tell you, but dont be mad." "Speak, I wont be mad." Lu Xiaobu gestured. "Well... hehe, theres something called taxation, have you heard of it?" The system was somewhat embarrassed: "Simply put, we slightly raise prices, and then we have some money right? Thats where the rewards come from!" "Damn it! So, you guys are all scam artists!" Lu Xiaobu burst out: "So you mean, I dont really need a million to draw once, and youve been skimming some off?" Chapter 98: Deceiving Ghosts [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Deceiving Ghosts [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The system said with a slight embarrassment, "I mean, about live streaming, you see, isnt it, right? We should really get it going. The live streaming industry in this world has just started, and they dont know how to play. Its boring to watch." "You just want to see female streamers show off their legs, dont you?" Lu Xiaobu suddenly realized, then stroked his chin and revealed the same smile: "Indeed, its quite nice to watch." "See? We really click," the system chuckled. But Lu Xiaobu changed the subject, "However, speak up, consider this you issuing a mission, whats in it for me?" "What are you talking about? Havent I told you? Lets discuss this! Why do you go back on your word so quickly?" The system wasnt happy. "Whats the matter? Youre not happy with me doing you a favor? Then forget it, I have my pride, Ill go for real." Lu Xiaobu curled his lip as he spoke. "Fine, fine, fine, I knew I shouldnt have said so much to you, dammit." The system rolled its eyes, "How about this? Youve always had the dream of becoming a Knight, how about I get you a Cultivation Technique?" "That works." Lu Xiaobu immediately grinned, "Deal." "Then Im diving back in, Ill just read novels for a few more days to hold myself over." The system disappeared after speaking. "Young Master, are we going home now?" Zhang Meng asked. "No, lets find an IT company." Lu Xiaobu said. "IT company? Young Master, are you going to?" Liang Lan heard and hurriedly asked. "Thats right, buy a company to play with." Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily. To get into live streaming, you definitely need a streaming platform first. And about that streaming platform, he didnt want to just acquire one. After all, live streaming in this world had just begun. Plus, he would still need to integrate it with smartphones. Too troublesome! So, might as well directly buy an IT company, and have it built from scratch according to his requirements. "Alright." Liang Lan nodded and began to look for a company that met the Young Masters demands. There was no need to ponder; the Young Master would certainly want the best company. She thought she might as well ask the Young Master these days about acquiring such a company. After all, ever since the Shadow Power smartphone was launched, every industry was scrambling to get involved with smartphones. And so, IT companies became a hot commodity overnight. Therefore, if Young Master Bu, who controls Shadow Power, started doing IT, it would simply be a profitable industry. A moment later. A company that met the requirements appeared before Liang Lans eyes. "Young Master, ZTech IT is not bad. Before our Shadow Power launched in the PC era, they were also well-known in the IT world for their efficiency and quality." Liang Lan brought up the companys details on her Shadow Power. "No need to look, thats the one." Lu Xiaobu didnt sweat it. They sped all the way to ZTech IT. And Tian Xuning, the boss of ZTech upon hearing that Lu Xiaobu was coming hurriedly waited downstairs early. Those in IT knew that whoever got the Lu Familys Shadow Power smartphone programming permit would rise in the industry. Now they had the advantage of being close to the water and were the first to get the moon, so they were eager to serve. Upstairs, the programmers who worked overtime continuously saw this scene, each of them with dark circles under their eyes, stretched lazily, and sighed with relief. "Aye, Tian the Skinflint is finally not watching us, we can rest for a bit now." "Whos the visitor that even Tian the Skinflint personally welcomes?" "Who cares who it is! As long as I can rest for a bit. Keep going at this pace, and Ill drop dead from exhaustion." "Exactly, no overtime pay, but still demanding us to produce? Dream on, take it slow. Whether you finish a day earlier or later, its all the same measly amount." "Xiao Wang, any coffee left? Pour me a cup." "None left, weve finished it all. Old Li, why dont you go buy some?" "Buy my foot, Im going to take a two-minute nap first. Call me when Tian the Skinflint comes up." "Ask Old Zhang to call you, Tian the Skinflint assigned Old Zhang to do the welcoming, to show our team spirit. Really, unbelievable." "..." Squeak With a faint screech of the brakes, Lu Xiaobus limousine came to a stop at the entrance of the office building. Zhang Meng got out of the car, opened the door. Lu Xiaobu and his party streamed out. "Welcome, Young Master Bu. I am Tian Xuning, the boss of Zhicheng IT. Im honored that Young Master Bu has come to offer his guidance." Tian Xuning quickly stepped forward to greet him, gesturing for him to proceed. "Lets go, lets go up and have a look." Lu Xiaobu nodded and led everyone up the stairs, following Tian Xuning. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the office immediately erupted into a flurry of activity. At the doorway, standing watch and ready to show off their spirit, Old Zhang immediately warned. "Tian the Skinflayer is coming up, quick, wake up Old Li." "Hurry, stop playing possum or youll get your wages docked." sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Old Zhang, get moving on that progress, just type anything." ... Whoosh The glass door was pushed open. And now, this was the scene presented in front of Lu Xiaobu and his entourage. "Xiaozhang, hows that code coming along?" "I think it still needs some more editing." "Alright, edit it then, and give it to me quickly, Im in a rush." ... Seeing this, Tian Xuning nodded in satisfaction and proudly introduced to Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master Bu, this is the spirit of our company. We fear no hardship or fatigue, everything is for the interests of the company. If you have any projects you want to work on, please choose us." Then he pointed to Old Zhang at the doorway, saying: "This is the essence of my team, look at him, isnt his spirit great? Enterprising, optimistic, proactive at work." Hearing Tian Xunings words, the company also began to buzz with excitement. "Young Master Bu?" "Could it be Lu Xiaobu?" "No way! Lu Xiaobu is visiting our company?" ... Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and immediately interrupted Tian Xuning: "Shut up. Ill ask myself." He was here to buy the company, so he might as well take a look at the companys spirit. "Is the work tiring?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Old Zhang, who looked well into his forties, nearly fifty, and asked. "Not tiring at all, its good." Old Zhang answered immediately, with a strong and energetic voice. Tian Xuning nodded right awayalthough Old Zhang was a bit slow-witted, his spirit was the best in the company, no question about it. Then... "Oh? How old are you?" "Twenty-four!" "Pfft!" Lu Xiaobu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood three kilometers away! Damn it. A twenty-four-year-old guy looks like hes in his forties, you tell me the pressure isnt high? Pull the other one! Yes, his spirit is strong, because his life is damn over! "Everyone, look up," Lu Xiaobu said. Indeed, a group of panda eyes appeared. All of them with dark circles under their eyes, clearly a sign of overwork. "Tian, is this the spirited appearance you spoke of?" Lu Xiaobu asked rolling his eyes. "Cough cough cough, well, thats unavoidable. Lets talk business." Tian Xuning said somewhat awkwardly. This sort of thing is the norm in the IT industry; he didnt think much of it. He assumed Lu Xiaobu would just take a quick look and leave it at that, but he didnt expect him to delve into this matter. Really, its like unnecessary worrying over eating a bland turnip, youre not their boss, as long as they can produce results for you, right? The next second... Chapter 99 Flexible Work [Please Collect, Please Recommend] Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Flexible Work [Please Collect, Please Recommend]"Mr. Tian, lets have a talk." Liang Lan said to Tian Xuning. "Okay." Tian Xuning was perceptive and knew that Liang Lan was Lu Xiaobus Finance Minister, so he immediately nodded in agreement. The negotiation went smoothly. Tian Xuning had the company and the personnel, while Lu Xiaobu had the money and Jueying. It was a perfect match. In the end, after discussion, Lu Xiaobu invested money and took 72% of the companys shares, gaining absolute control over the company, including a veto power. To put it simply, from now on, the company belonged to the Lu family! Tian Xuning was still responsible for the daily operations of the company. After reporting to Lu Xiaobu, he began to announce the new benefits policy. "Starting today, you are all my employees, and the first order of business is that everyones salary will double," Lu Xiaobu said, stroking his chin. The programmers looked at each other and burst into wild joy! "Yeah, thank you, Young Master Bu!" "Long live Young Master Bu! Long live!" "Young Master Bu is so generous!" "Is that for real?" "Old Li, when has Young Master Bu ever lied?" "..." "Huh?" Tian Xuning was utterly bewildered. Um... doubling the salary? Nothing has been done yet, and salaries are already doubling? Their current salaries were the average in the IT industry, but now doubled, everyone would be making twenty thousand! "The second order of business, abolish the overtime system. Work from nine to five, clock in for work, but no penalties for being late or leaving early. Flexible working hours," Lu Xiaobu continued. The whole company erupted! "Really? No more overtime?" "Thats great, thats great! I finally have time to spend with my wife!" "Awesome, Young Master Bu is such a good person! Sleep until we naturally wake up!" "..." "Um..." Tian Xuning felt a numbing sensation in his hands. He hurriedly said to Liang Lan, "Miss Liang, shouldnt you persuade the Young Master? Doubling the salary was already crazy enough, and now, abolishing overtime?! Nine to five?! Flexible work?!" "With that, how long will it take to complete a task? You know they work overtime every day, I watch them every day, and cant drive up efficiency." "This is something youll have to get used to," Liang Lan seriously said. "Otherwise, you might go crazy eventually." Young Master Bus grand gestures were not new; she had taken an hour every night to analyze his seemingly profligate actions, discovering something new each day! Now, in her heart, Young Master Bu was akin to a Heavenly God! "I..." Tian Xuning was on the verge of tears. Why did he feel like he boarded a bandit ship? He really couldnt believe that efficiency could be maintained under such a system. Probably everyone would just slack off and idle. But it wasnt over yet. Lu Xiaobu: "One paid leave day every month."

From scattered slogans, the office turned into collective chants! Lu Xiaobu nodded in satisfaction: "From today onwards, our companys philosophy changes to oneresult-oriented. As long as you do well, you can do whatever you want, as long as the work is completed. Play when you should, drink when you should. Of course, the premise is not to mess around." "Young Master Bu, so cool!" Old Zhang, who just shouted, was nearly hoarse. Just ten minutes ago, their only wish was to not work overtime. And ten minutes later, not only was that wish fulfilled. But their salaries doubled!? Nine to five!? No recording of lateness or early departure!? Flexible working hours!? Paid vacation!? These benefits, they wouldnt even dare to dream about them before! And now, theyve all been implemented at once! How can they not be grateful to Lu Xiaobu! How can they not be wholeheartedly devoted to Lu Xiaobu! "Young Master Bu, just give your orders!" Old Zhang said excitedly. Now his lazy attitude has been completely wiped out. Hes now nothing less than a fearless warrior! As soon as Young Master Bu gives the command, hes ready to charge forward fearlessly! "Yes! Young Master Bu, assign tasks, give your orders!" Xiaowang also shouted excitedly. "The first task, go home and sleep. Im tired even if youre not, look what time it is." Lu Xiaobu yawned, waved his hand, and walked away. "Uh..." Everyone looked bewildered. Then all smiled wryly. They had forgotten that it was already past eight in the evening; accustomed to working overtime, they didnt even realize it was time to leave work. ... The next day. Tian Xuning, out of habit, arrived at the company early at seven in the morning, waiting to see who would be late. But when he got to the company he remembered that under Young Master Bus reforms, the working hours had changed to nine to five. Thinking about going back, he muttered to himself: "I might as well go up and see, maybe there are others who came early like me. I could also note down some incidences of employees getting lazy to report back to Young Master Bu." Talking to himself, he went upstairs. To be honest, he really looked down on these so-called reforms and benefits initiated by Lu Xiaobu. Lazy donkeys produce more dung in the mill, and even when whipped, they still find time to slack off. Not to mention this flexible working system now, its basically free-range; can any work get done in such a state? He arrived at the office and opened the door. Sure enough... There was not a single person. Usually, Old Zhang would be the first to arrive, but now, just overnight, even Old Zhang had become lazy. This made him more determined, to talk to Young Master Bu after today and cancel this flexible work system. Time leisurely moved to eight-thirty. And then people started showing up, yawning, a few even munching on buns, all in a very leisurely state. This troubled the notoriously strict Tian Xuning, who watched with a frown and a cold stare. What made him angriest was that someone didnt arrive until nine oclock, actually coming in at 9:05, infuriating him! Not marking tardiness doesnt mean you should actually be late! This work attitude is simply unacceptable! "Hey, enough is enough. Young Master Bu gave you such good treatment, is it just for you to laze around?" Tian Xuning couldnt hold back anymore. But before he could continue, a task from Lu Xiaobu had been sent to Tian Xunings computer by Liang Lan. "Jueying Live Platform Construction" The construction specified came from Lu Xiaobus recollections of the live streaming platforms on Earth. Actually, there werent many words, just a few requirements. Like, it should be simple and stylish, have multiple channels, multiple resolutions, have features like tipping, treasure chests, leaderboards, betting functions and so on and so forth. Even the perspective of writing these things was from that of a viewer. As for how to actually program it, creating from the viewpoint of a producer, that was now the job of Tian Xuning and his team. Isnt this what Lu Xiaobu paid for the company to do! "Im telling you, Young Master Bus task has arrived!" Tian Xuning stood up and shouted angrily, "Ive already sent you the task requirements, you better handle it yourselves! Let me tell you, if you keep being lazy..." But just then, something happened before his eyes that made his words fall short, never to be completed. He was completely dumbfounded! Chapter 100: Asura Battlefield [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Asura Battlefield [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Tian Xuning was shocked by the scene unfolding before his eyes. Just as he conveyed Young Master Bus task. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Just a moment. The entire office transformed from a leisurely resort into a battlefield! Everyone was brimming with murderous intent, as if ready to devour someone. Those responsible for preparations were preparing. "Old Zhang, here is the data from the existing live streaming platforms," "Old Li, this is some information from video websites, it could be useful for us." "..." Those responsible for discussing the initial framework were discussing the initial framework. "Xiao Wang, how is it going?" "Looking at the existing live streaming platforms, their framework has some referential value, I suggest we first try creating a simple framework and then make modifications!" "Alright, lets try that." Those responsible for building the basic script began to work on it. "The basic script is done, get to it. Anyone want coffee?" "Ill have one!" The work in the entire office was well-organized and interconnected. No one made unnecessary movements, no one spoke unnecessary words. No, there was one exception. That was Tian Xuning! Once the busiest person, constantly moving between places, supervising work, and preventing slacking off. Now, he had become a complete idler. He was filled with confusion. Have these people gone mad? Werent they just yawning moments ago? Unable to contain his curiosity, he tiptoed behind Old Zhang. One second... Two seconds... Three seconds... Old Zhang hadnt even noticed Tian Xuning behind him. This stunned Tian Xuning! How could this be? Before today, the employees were like they all had built-in radars. As soon as he approached within a three-meter radius, they would definitely notice him. But now, Old Zhangs eyes, apart from the keyboard where he was rapidly typing code, held nothing else. Just like the ancient Swordsman, his eyes only on his sword, beyond that, everything else is void! Even if thousands of enemies are present, I will cut them down with my sword! What frightened Tian Xuning even more. This Old Zhang, before Young Master Bu arrived, was the most careless one. With constant minor errors, writing code for two hours would still require an additional hour to modify! But today, at this moment! Old Zhangs code had no errors from start to end. Just like the Swordsmans sword moves! Simple, elegant, forceful, yet each move was lethal! "Slap!" Tian Xunings head suddenly received a slap: "Move, were busy, no distractions." Enraged, Tian Xuning turned around, only to see Xiao Wang with a thoughtful expression walking past him and leaning over to discuss with Old Zhang. This scene extinguished his rage. Forget it, better not to disturb them! Hes completely useless now. He dejectedly returned to his office and sighed deeply: "Young Master Bu, I give up, is that enough? Your flexible work policy actually tripled their work efficiency compared to my daily pressures! Indeed, Miss Liang was right, I need to adapt!" What he didnt notice was that, after he left, the corners of Xiao Wangs mouth curled up in a smileit was deliberate, just a way to get back at this stingy boss. But the smile was fleeting, and Xiao Wang then returned to his work mode. Tian Xuning couldnt figure it out, but they understood very well. Actually, its just one thing. Before, they worked day and night without any end in sight. But now, once the work is finished, they can rest, which of course makes it better the sooner its done. Besides, Young Master Bu has given them a raise, so shouldnt they work better to deserve that salary? Sometimes, things are very simple for workers, but completely incomprehensible for bosses. Only Young Master Bu can clearly understand their thoughts and feelings. Its hard to believe that Young Master Bu is that kind of rich second generation born with a silver spoon. ... Tian Xuning finally found his new job. Waiter, plus an experience guide. After all, he was a boss and still had a discerning eye. "Xiao Wang, heres your coffee." "The printer stopped, whose document is it?" "I think this part could still be simplified, discuss it and see." "..." Its five in the afternoon, time to get off work. "Alright, alright, its time to leave." Now, Tian Xuning had completely shed his harsh exterior and had become amiable. "Hold on, Ill work a bit more; you guys go ahead and leave." Old Zhang took a sip of coffee and said. "Ill work a bit more too; Im almost done." Old Li was also full of energy. "I have to leave, its my girlfriends birthday today." Xiao Wang gave everyone an apologetic smile: "But if needed, just ping me." "Ping what! Ill handle it! Go be with your girlfriend, I was too harsh before." Tian Xuning waved his hand, "Dont think I only scold, I am quite capable. Its not just you guys Young Master Bu changed, but me too!" "Hahaha!" Everyone looked at each other and laughed joyfully. Tian Xuning, looking at this harmonious and positive work environment, was filled with amazementYoung Master Bu, truly a god, this is the work environment he has been dreaming of! In his excitement, he waved his hand grandly: "Dinner is on me tonight, say what you want to eat. Want something to drink? Sure, just dont go crazy with the alcohol." "Yay!" Everyone cheered. Only Xiao Wangs mouth twitched: "Tian Skinflint, are you doing this on purpose? I just leave, and theres a dinner?" "What did you say?" Tian Xuning immediately glared. "Cough cough cough, Im going, Im going." Xiao Wang instantly dashed off. Damn it, it slipped out. The entire office burst into laughter once again. They all knew that all these changes were because of Young Master Bu! ... With the support of Lu Wenhuo and Li Xide... With the programmers tirelessly and fervently working... Just one week later... A livestreaming platform named Juechen was launched. Juechen was named to avoid a duplicate name with another product, symbolizing the idiom "riding fast and furiously." Its the first platform to support viewing on smart phones, PCs, and web browsers. Although there might still be some bugs, in the current world of livestreaming, its definitely a top contender! People at Zhicheng IT Company are celebrating! "Hahaha! Awesome! Just one week, just one week!" Tian Xuning was incredibly excited, "You know, in the past, this would have taken at least a month." "Thats because you were so harsh before, making us always drag our feet," Xiao Wang joked. "Hey, I find myself less and less dignified; you even dare to say that straight to my face now." Tian Xuning rolled his eyes, but was not angry. "Young Master Bu is here." At that moment, Old Zhang excitedly shouted, instantly drawing everyones attention. Chapter 102: Internet Cafe War God [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Internet Cafe War God [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu and his group left the company, leaving only Little Wang to keep watch at the office, ready to await his orders. Meanwhile, the camera casually swept across... And captured Liang Lan, Wu Qianmin, and Zhou Jingyuan who were following Lu Xiaobu. So! The barrage of comments exploded! "Holy shit!" "Damn!" "Young Master Bu, you!" "My god! Young Master Bu, how come you have so many beauties by your side?" "One, two, three, oh my, truly comparison kills!" "Envy, jealousy, and hate!" "Young Master Bu is heartless, I share death and coexistence with beauties!" "..." Lu Xiaobu looked at the dense onslaught of comments and rolled his eyes: "Alright, shift your focus away from me, or you guys will really lose your teeth later." "Psh, Young Master Bu is showboating." "Poor people cant lead the lives of the rich, and now even envying is a crime?" "Exactly, Young Master Bu, I want to see the beauties!" "Look at the beauties!" "Look at the beauties!" "..." The barrage was flooded with requests to see the beauties. Some cheeky bastards even changed their names to send gifts. "Look at beauty No.1 sends out an excavator!" "Look at beauty No.2 sends out an airplane!" "Look at beauty No.3 sends out three excavators!" "..." The three women beside him covered their mouths, speechless. Liang Lan: "I just learned a bit more about those live streams. It seems those female streamers taking off clothes and touching themselves dont even make this much money. Just showing our faces does this?" Zhou Jingyuan: "A bunch of inexperienced fellas." Wu Qianmin: "Lu Xiaobu, look at the audience, such taste when they say beauties." "They are talking about Sister Lan, not the two of you," retorted Lu Xiaobu with a curl of his lip. "Lu Xiaobu!" exploded the two girls. "The live stream is on! The audience is watching, what do you want to do?" Lu Xiaobus camera shook slightly, scaring the two girls into hastily retreating. They always felt that live streaming was just like a web-based nightclub, so they had a deep-rooted aversion to it and didnt want to show their faces on it. Even Liang Lan instinctively stepped back. The barrage went wild. "Hahaha, Young Master Bu, are you whipped?" "No way, the imposing Young Master Bu is scared of women?" "Young Master Bu, dont be a coward, just do it." "That guy above, what did you mean by that?" "What do I mean? Just to slap some joy!" "..." Lu Xiaobu cursed with a laugh: "Bullshit, if you keep making crude jokes, just blow up where you are." Once aboard the RV, all the women hid in the back at the dining area, leaving Lu Xiaobu to stay in the living room with Li Qiang and Li Jin. The barrage blew up again. "Young Master Bu, how much does this car cost?" "It has a TV? A sofa? A fridge?" "Is this really an RV?" "Ive always seen pictures of it online, never thought Id see it in person today." "..." "Making a mountain out of a molehill." Lu Xiaobu was speechless and too lazy to deal with them. Making such a fuss over the RV, as if they had just gotten Internet access. "Young Master Bu 666!" "You show off in such a badass way." "Im sorry, Young Master Xiaobu, it seems poverty has limited our imagination." "Were an embarrassment to regular folks, making a fuss over a trailer. Ive even had one in my dreams." "..." Following Lu Xiaobus request, Zhang Meng drove up next to an internet cafe. Lu Xiaobu, carrying his phone, walked right in. "Hey, what are you doing? No filming allowed here." The internet cafe owner, seeing Lu Xiaobu with his phone, was alarmed, thinking he was there to film something. After all, internet cafes often have some not-so-decent things going on. "Li Jin. Pay for the shoot. Two grand." Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers. Li Jin immediately came over, counting out money with a flip-flap sound. "Feel free to film." The owners mood cleared up instantly. "Another question, do you have a Cafe War God here?" "Yes, thats him." The internet cafe owner pointed to a sloppy-looking man in the corner and said, "From all angles, he qualifies as a War God. Hes been playing here for two months, looks like hes been through some hardship." "And his gaming skills are really something else. Ive had nothing better to do recently, so Ive been watching him play every day." "Hmm, let me check it out." Lu Xiaobu nodded. The live chat heard his conversation with the owner. "No way, Young Master Xiaobu, you didnt get us a beauty and instead found some foot-scratching brute?" "Can this so-called Cafe War God even be a streamer?" "Even if he stripped, no one would watch, right?" "Does Young Master Xiaobu have a peculiar taste?" "Damn it, look at the beauties around the Young Master, prettier than anyone youll see in your lifetime." "Thats true." "..." Lu Xiaobu ignored them and headed straight for this Cafe War God. This War God appeared to weigh over 170 pounds, looked a bit paleunclear if due to illness or just poor nutrition.

Although the surroundings were noisy, his eyes were glued to the screen, without a hint of any other movement. As he played, he muttered, "Damn, just missed it, one more try, that should do it." The game he was playing was called "Doomsday Competition," which Lu Xiaobu had never played and wasnt familiar with, but it felt like a blend of Red Alert, StarCraft, and Warcraft. As someone from Earth, Lu Xiaobu thought the game seemed like a fusion of all three. However, he hadnt played it himself, but surely some viewers had. "Wow, 666, impressive moves!" "Seriously, this guys gaming skills are top-notch." "Too bad still, he lost." "..." Lu Xiaobu sat down on a sofa nearby, gesturing back with a hook of his hand. Li Qiang immediately whipped out a pack of cigarettes and handed one over. "Bro, want a smoke?" Lu Xiaobu offered one. "Oh? Thanks." Qin Ce raised an eyebrow, took the cigarette, lit it, and took a drag. "Nice smoke!" "Not bad." Lu Xiaobu also lit one up. He used to smoke back on Earth but gave it up after coming here because of health reasons. Today, he was making an exception and smoked one. Pleasantries were exchanged; it was clearly time to get down to business. Lu Xiaobu recalled the tests he had prepared, a slightly wicked smile forming on his lips. Chapter 103: The Yīng Yīng Monster Takes Action [Bonus - for 1000 Votes] Chapter 103: Chapter 103: The Yng Yng Monster Takes Action [Bonus Chapter for 1000 Votes]"Do you like playing games?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Right, what about it? You got something for me?" Qin Ce responded with a question. "Theres a job where you can play games and make money at the same time. Interested?" Lu Xiaobu got straight to the point. "What kind of job?" Qin Ce was somewhat puzzled; he hadnt heard before that one could make money by playing games. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Live streaming. I think you should be somewhat familiar with it." Lu Xiaobu noticed the increasingly furrowed brows of Qin Ce and realized there was a misunderstanding. He continued, "Dont rush to refuse. Let me just say one thing: since youre wasting your days here playing games anyway, why not give it a try? Could it be worse than your current situation?" This is the art of conversation, where sometimes harsh words can be more effective than sweet talk. "Yeah, that makes sense." Qin Ces brows relaxed. "So, shall I give it a try?" "Of course, but this live streaming isnt something you just try at will. You need to pass a test of mine first," Lu Xiaobu said with a smile. "As expected," Qin Ce understood. The two reached an agreement, and Lu Xiaobu opened up the live streaming platform on the computer and logged in with his account for Qin Ce. While Qin Ce was exploring the various features of the live streaming, Lu Xiaobu was secretly interacting with the audience. "Let me tell you guys, the test is starting, and you are the judges," Lu Xiaobu, who had registered a new account, said, logging in on his phone to the audience: "Remember this, if I send a certain message, at least one of you has to send the same message back five times. Got it?" "Okay, no problem." The audience members all responded one after another. They too were curious about what Lu Xiaobu was up to. The live stream was connected. This was Qin Ces first live stream, and naturally, he seemed somewhat nervous. Fortunately, since he wasnt showing his face, the nerves werent too overwhelming. "Hello everyone, Im Qin Ce." Qin Ce gave a brief introduction to start off. Silence. It remained silent. No one was speaking in the chat room. Clearly, the audience had no expectations for this so-called game live stream, and even less for this so-called Qin Ce. Lu Xiaobu watched quietly from the side, saying nothing. If Qin Ce couldnt handle this bit of difficulty, then there was no point continuing. Seeing this, Qin Ce grew even more nervous. But he gritted his teeth. Damn it, you either die heroically or rise to heaven; whoever dares is the winner. Just go for it! He then brought out the same energy he used when chatting nonsense with his gaming friends. "You must have heard what that guy and I were saying just now. Honestly, you and I both think its a bunch of nonsense, what kind of game live streaming is this, who would watch it, let alone a 300-pound guy picking his feet live." Qin Ce mocked himself while starting up the game. With that, the atmosphere suddenly opened up. "Wow, oh my, youre 300 pounds? Pull the other one." "That doesnt sound right. Let me tell you, we saw just now, youre at most 200 pounds, no more than that." "..." Seeing someone reacting, Qin Ce let out a sigh of relief, knowing his strategy worked. He quickly played along: "Damn, what? You dont believe me? Alright, if you dare, come over here, Ill sit on you, see if you can get up?" Chat room. "Get lost, even if youre just 200 pounds, I couldnt lift you either!" "Hahaha, 6666!" "This is fun." "..." As the chat continued, the game formally began. It must be said, as the Internet caf war god, Qin Ces gaming skills were quite profound. His understanding of the game was extremely high. Many challenging questions from the audience were all answered by him one by one. For a moment, his live streaming actually started to hit its stride. Even Zhou Jingyuan, the fiery girl, was glued to the screen, motionless, as if she was learning the controls. This made Liang Lan secretly amazed: "How did Young Master Bu see that this guy was suited for live streaming? Its incredible." Wu Qianmin also licked her lips in amazement: "That chubby guy was shy just a moment ago, how come he turns into a chatterbox when it comes to playing games?" Lu Xiaobu smiled without a word. For these cyber caf war gods, once theyre on the internet, once theyre in the game, they are the true war gods, unbeatable by anyone. Nevertheless, a streamer he personally endorsed, being merely a skill-based streamer wasnt enough. The first level began. The Whining Monsters have sprung into action! Lu Xiaobu sent out the first barrage message: "Whine whine whine!" Viewers saw Lu Xiaobu sending out barrage messages... Suddenly! "Whine whine whine" "Whine whine whine whine whine" "Whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine" "Whine whine whine whine whine whine" "..." Countless Whining Monsters instantly took over the live stream. The viewers sent messages while laughing. "Damn, whine whine whine, this is freaking. Such a bewitching barrage." "Im impressed, Young Master Bu, you can even think of this kind of barrage." "So fun, the screens full of whine whine whine." "..." They laughed, but Qin Ce, seeing a screen full of "whine whine whine," felt a tingling scalp and was dumbfounded. "Damn it, what are you all doing? Whats this whine whine whine? Whine whine whine about what?" While he spoke, he faltered, nearly making a catastrophic mistake that could have cost him the game. Seeing his error, the viewers sent even more "whine whine whine" messages, and with even greater enthusiasm. What do you mean by sending the messages five times? They would keep sending until banned, take a short break, and then continue. Lu Xiaobu watched this scene with a big smile, knowing as a streamer, its not enough just to be good at playing games, you also need to know how to manage the rhythm of the stream. Being the Whining Monster across various live streaming platforms on Earth is certainly one of the strongest rhythms there is. Now Qin Ce, sweating profusely, had no idea what to do. Mistakes in the game were also happening more frequently, and if it wasnt for his good skills promptly correcting them, he would have probably lost the game. But the more this happened, the more the viewers sent messages, as if they really wanted to see him lose. After all, teasing the streamer is definitely a great pleasure for the audience. Even Wu Qianmin and the others couldnt help but double over laughing: "Whine whine whine, haha, Xiaobu, what kind of ghost barrage is this? Why is it so evilly infectious?" Liang Lan covered her mouth and giggled at Qin Ce, covered in sweat: "Young Master, you really gave Qin Ce a difficult challenge! A new streamer running into a whine whine whine, so interesting." Only Zhou Jingyuan, the tough girl, frowned: "Damn, a bunch of grown men, whining what the heck! Isnt it disgusting?" Wu Qianmin and Liang Lan glanced at Zhou Jingyuan, then again at the barrage of "whine whine whine"... They both fell into speechlessness... Whats with these times? Grown men whining, while Zhou Jingyuan, a tomboy loli, is all fierce! "Damn it, you bunch of whiners, I, Qin Ce, would fight the elderly at Nanshan Nursing Home with my fists and kick the kids at the North Sea Kindergarten with my feet, am I scared of you all? Watch out or Ill punch each and every one of you, knock you out. Then Ill use my 300-pound body to crush you all to death!" It must be said that Qin Ces mental resilience is indeed not bad. Perhaps this is the positive effect of the trauma that the boss mentioned earlier. He quickly adjusted his state and immersed himself wholeheartedly into the game, continuously commentating on various impressive moves. Finally. After a series of incredibly frequent crucial counterattacks, forcefully turning the defense into offense... "66666" "Awesome! Awesome!" "Great moves, super impressive." "..." The rhythm was taken over, although some were still sending messages, but it was no longer the overwhelming phenomenon it once was. And then... Lu Xiaobu chuckled to himself. The Whining Monsters had left, and it was time for the Bamboo Rat merchant to make an entrance! Chapter 104: The Mighty Bamboo Rat Merchant [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The Mighty Bamboo Rat Merchant [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobus second challenge has begun! "Selling bamboo rats! Three yuan each, ten yuan for three." Seeing Lu Xiaobus barrage, the audience hadnt begun to respond before laughing themselves silly. Countless people holding Jueying phones were having a blast. "Seriously? Three yuan each, ten yuan for three? Young Master Bu, did your math teacher teach gym?" "Selling bamboo rats? Young Master Bu, how did you even come up with that?" "6666, this is so funny." "..." But after the laughter, they still followed Lu Xiaobus instructions and began to send barrages. "Selling bamboo rats! Three yuan each, ten yuan for three." "Selling bamboo rats! Three yuan each, ten yuan for three." "Selling bamboo rats! Three yuan each, ten yuan for three." "..." Some even started to create new versions of the barrage. "Selling tofu! One piece for two yuan, two pieces for one yuan." "Selling bricks! One piece for two yuan, two pieces for one yuan." "..." Yeah, powerful stuff; Qin Ce was baffled again. "Uh... you guys are doing this on purpose, right! Whats this three yuan each, ten yuan for three? What even are bamboo rats?" Qin Ce was completely exasperated! If it was one person, he could have just joked about their poor math. But now everyone was posting it. He almost couldnt figure out if three times three was nine or ten? Also, that one for two, two for one tofu, how much does it actually cost? Dammit, did I learn math for nothing? Could it be that what I learned was wrong? Yeah, this impact was way more brutal than the earlier nearly failed one. Now, he completely lost. Seeing the failure title on the screen, Qin Ce was stunned. He lost; he actually lost. But this very act of losing unintentionally broke the siege of the bamboo rat sellers. "Pfft! Hahaha!" "The host lost, defeated by the bamboo rat sellers!" "Young Master Bu is awesome, one monster, one bamboo rat seller, haha, so wickedly magical!" "Hahaha, this is so fun." "This host is so entertaining." "Young Master Bu, you must let this fat guy stream, I want to watch this funny fat guy play games." "..." The donations started "A mysterious person donated a plane to the host." "[]donated an excavator to the host." "Zhang Feifei donated 5 Big Blood Bottles to the host." "..." Through these two tests, a lot of viewers were captivated by Qin Ce. Some because of the brilliant gaming operations and explanations. Some because of Qin Ces crisis management skills. Some because of Qin Ces amusing comments. And others, not even sure why, just liked this host. "So this was the test..." With a slight grievance, Qin Ce looked at Lu Xiaobu. "Alright, although there were some flaws, it wasnt too bad; you passed." Lu Xiaobu smiled; this guy was pretty decent. Actually, there was a third challenge plannedfacing criticism! A good host not only needs to manage the pace but must also possess strong resilience. But he later thought, this is a newcomer after all, too much pressure isnt good. "Then I..." Qin Ce was immediately delighted, after this recent experiment. He finally found his future path. That is to be a live streamer, a game broadcaster. This job would make both himself and others happy. "Sure, Ill have someone set up an account for you, get ready to start streaming," Lu Xiaobu smiled and said, "However, you also know what live streaming is like nowadays; as the first to try this, youre definitely going to face a lot of pressure, be prepared." "Yes!" Qin Ce immediately responded, then shyly added, "Um, youre a broadcaster too, right? Youve shown me the way, Ill be grateful to you in the future." "Pfft!" Hearing his words, the chat went wild. "No way, Fatso, you dont know who Young Master Bu is?" "Youre incredible, being from Shimen and not knowing Young Master Bu?" "Just for that remark, digger received." "Young Master Bu is a broadcaster? Hes your boss!" "Hahaha, Im dying of laughter, I really want to interview Young Master Bu now." "Young Master Bu: Mom sell patches, does Young Master have no face?" "..." Even Liang Lan and the others were unable to contain their laughter. Zhou Jingyuan slammed her fist on the table and roared with laughter: "Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu, there are people from Shimen who dont recognize you?" Young Master Bu was always imposing wherever he went, receiving bows and worship. Now they had recruited a new broadcaster who thought from the start that Young Master Bu was just another broadcaster. "Ah?! Young Master Bu??" Qin Ce first froze, then was filled with terror: "Youre Young Master Bu, the extravagant waster Lu Xiaobu!? Sss!" "Um... Although its not the first or second time people have called me a waster, why does it sound so offensive coming from you?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, speechless. "Pfft, hahaha!" Others laughed even harder. Gifts in the live room kept flowing. "Waves of Waves gifted the broadcaster a digger." "Cold Youth gifted the broadcaster 1314 glow sticks!" "..." It must be said that Qin Ces tone was different from others, which usually had a mocking tone; but in his mouth, it sounded utterly affirmative. It was really hilarious. "Alright, enough fooling around. Li Jin, reward, twenty thousand." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. Li Jin seized the rare opportunity to show up, and began counting money with a clatter. "Young Master Bu, this... no, it really wont work, I havent done anything, how can I take your money?" Qin Ce hurriedly refused. "Half of that is the money from the rewards you just received during the live stream, the other half is what I rewarded you, take it and buy some equipment, start broadcasting." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, and coolly left. "I..." Qin Ce watched Lu Xiaobus departing figure, his eyes filled with immense gratitude. Good horses are common, but Bole who recognize their potential are not. Young Master Bu was the Bole who pulled him out from the abyss. Live streaming gave him a second life, thus his life would also end on Jueying Live Platform. What no one knew was. Later on, Qin Ce, who became worth hundreds of millions but still staunchly remained with Jueying Platform without jumping to other platforms regardless of how much they offered, was discovered in such a small internet caf by Lu Xiaobu. ... Holding his phone, he walked out of the internet caf. "How about that? Who dares to say streaming must be women, must be from nightclubs?" Lu Xiaobu said to the live room, raising his eyebrows: "Convinced or not?" Live room. "Cough cough cough, who said that? Stand up? Ive believed in Young Master Bu all along." "Its that bullshitter, could you just explode in place?" "Young Master Bu is the best!" "Young Master Bu is awesome." "..." The live room was soon filled with praises for Lu Xiaobu.

Lets go, lets go scout for some female anchors." Bullet screen. "Hehe!" "Hehehe!" "Hehehehe!" "Yingyingying!" "..." "Damn, kick out whoever is messing with the rhythm and shoot them for five minutes!" Lu Xiaobu said laughingly. The bullet screen instantly exploded with laughter. Young Master Bu is really funny, too funny! All the way there, a steady stream of jokes kept their laughter going. But the three women all furrowed their brows. They thought Lu Xiaobu was going to a nightclub to find female anchors. Liang Lan: "Young Master Bu, youre not seriously going to that kind of place, are you?" Wu Qianmin: "Yeah, whats so good about that place?" Zhou Jingyuan: "Are you blind, arent we prettier than other women?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "Who said were going to that kind of place? Im heading to the Film and Television Academy. The girls there are talented in singing and dancing." Hearing Lu Xiaobus explanation, the three were relieved. ... On the way to the Film and Television Academy. Before they even arrived, they heard a melodious singing nearby, captivating and enchanting. This immediately made Lu Xiaobus eyes sparkle. The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty! For you, I turn around. "Stop the car." Lu Xiaobu immediately shouted. "Young Master Bu?" Zhang Meng parked the car to the side. "Ive found a suitable candidate." Lu Xiaobu said excitedly. Although Lu Xiaobu heard it, the people in the live streaming room did not. The bullet screen was momentarily stunned. "Where? I didnt see anyone?" "Yeah, weve been looking at Young Master Bus face the whole time, havent even seen a woman, let alone a beauty." "Young Master Bu is tricking us." "However, I suggest, whether or not its a trick, Young Master Bu, you cant just throw money at the girl." "Right, using money is no fun, we want to see how you do it." "Agree!" "..." "Alright, alright." Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders and swiftly got out of the car: "Zhang Meng, dont follow me. Just wait here, Ill go take a look myself." "Young Master." Zhang Meng asked worriedly. "Its fine, how far is it? Its just across the street." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. With that, Lu Xiaobu ran across the street, towards the place from where the singing came. Meanwhile, in the car. Zhang Meng: "Li Jin, go to the trunk and get the tools ready, set up defenses, keep an eye on every possible place that might be a threat to Young Master Bu. Especially sniper positions, as well as various places for hiding!" "Yes!" Li Jin immediately responded. In no time, binoculars, signal receivers, close-range throwing weapons... all were taken out. Within ten seconds... The entire RV turned into a War Fortress, imperceptible from the outside. "Huh..." Zhou Jingyuan shook her head with a wry smile. This Lu Xiaobu, really something to be envious of, just a mere street away, and all of this unfolds. ... Lu Xiaobu crossed to the opposite side of the street. And immediately spotted the singer. It was a girl in somewhat faded clothing, with an innocent-looking face that involuntarily stirred a protective desire in others. She was singing with all her might. Beneath her feet was a signSong requests, five yuan per song. Her voice was very pleasant, with a light and airy quality, but for some reason, it carried a persistent sorrow and melancholy. Perhaps for this reason, not many people were requesting songs from her. Which only seemed to make her voice more mournful. "Li Ying, stop singing, Ive told you, you cant make money this way." A flashy girl decked in gold, carrying an LV bag, and strutting in high heels with high aspirations strode towards her. She snatched the microphone straight from Li Ying, the innocent-looking girl, and kicked over the sign with one foot. Then she scolded the surrounding people: "What are you looking at? Scram as far as you can, this flower already has an owner." Hearing the womans scolding, passersby all furrowed their brows. But, subscribing to the idea that more trouble is worse than less, they all walked away. "Leilei, why are you doing this?" Li Ying frowned slightly, bent over to pick up the sign: "How will my family manage if I dont earn money like this?" Her best friend was simply too materialistic. "Ive told you, havent I? Young Master Lu said that as long as you keep him company, hell take care of these problems for you. Theres no point doing this; how much money can you make with the support of these paupers?" Liang Lei scolded sharply: "Keeping company with Young Master Lu is your only way out!" She acted all high and mighty, but her words were just detestable. The live stream audience immediately exploded. "What the hell?" "This kind of woman is even advising her best friend to accompany men?" "I wouldnt **** her even if she was given to me for free!" "Give her to me for free, Id do it, then toss her out." "..." "Who says thats the only way out?" Xiaobu was unhappy: "Her singing is so beautiful, there are plenty of people who would appreciate it." "And you are?" Liang Lei immediately frowned in displeasure: "If you dont understand, then dont spout nonsense, beware of bringing disaster upon yourself!" "Bringing disaster upon myself?" Xiaobu found this amusing: "No bull****, there arent many in Shimen who dare to talk to me like that." "Look at you, so full of yourself," Liang Lei said sarcastically. Just as Xiaobu was about to retort, he saw Li Ying, looking at him full of hope: "Excuse me, sir, what is this way out you speak of?" Li Ying had tried many ways but couldnt find a solution to her dilemma. Now hearing there was a way out, she was obviously excited. Seeing Li Yings eager and hopeful gaze, Xiaobu had no choice but to suppress his urge to curse: "Do live streaming! Your singing will definitely be liked by many people." Upon these words. The brightness in Li Yings eyes dimmed instantly: "Thank you, but no need. I dont want to do that sort of thing." What she thought was hope turned out to be despair. After all, she knew what live streaming was like. Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hahaha, youre killing me, this is the way out youre talking about?" Liang Leis piercing laughter came: "Li Ying, better listen to me, as crude as it sounds, its better to be a private car for Young Master Lu than to be a public bus." "Shut up!" Xiaobus face filled with displeasure, then he said to Li Ying: "Im not talking about that kind of live streaming." "Shut up? You dare tell me to shut up? Who do you think you are? A penniless nobody, and youre getting cocky," Liang Lei immediately exploded in anger, mocking: "You must be the son of migrant workers, right? Ill tell you, I disdain migrant workers the most! Youre not even worthy to carry my shoes." "You asking for a scolding?" Xiaobu raised his eyebrows: "With that bitchy attitude and looking down on migrant workers, just a public bus, who the **** gave you that confidence? Youre laughing at me for being poor, let others hear you say that, how many peoples teeth would you make them laugh out? Can you afford the dental bills?" The live stream audience was both angry and amused. "This trashy woman, making me furious. The funniest thing is, this gold digger doesnt even recognize Young Master Bu." "She doesnt even qualify as a gold digger." "Even the gold diggers dont want her." "She deserves to be scolded!" "..." Chapter 106: Lu Xiaobu’s Nemesis [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Lu Xiaobus Nemesis [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobus cursing skills are really solid, he cursed the woman into a blushing, panicked state! Cant win in a verbal fight? Shrews go straight for the physical. "Damn it, looking at your frail appearance, Im going to slap you." Liang Lei bared her teeth and lunged at Lu Xiaobu with claws outstretched. "Leilei!" Li Ying was shocked and tried to pull her back, but failed. "Slap!" At that moment, a jade hand reached out and fiercely slapped Liang Leis detestable face: "My Young Master doesnt hit women, but I do!" The person who slapped her was Liang Lan. They were in the car and had just seen the argument here, so they had just come over. And then they saw Liang Lei raising her hand at Lu Xiaobu. This really was a case of courting death. Zhang Meng and Li Jin were fuming with rage. If it werent for Liang Lan stopping them by saying intervening would invite criticism to the Young Master, they would have already delivered a flying kick from fifty meters away. The live broadcast audience instantly exploded! "Well hit! So satisfying!" "Damn it, such slut needs a beating!" "Way to go, beauty!" "Finally got to see what the beauty looks like!" "..." "Cynical youth sending the host a treasure map." "Lucky sending the host ten excavators!" "Why does Lagou need to hang himself sending the host 1 glow stick!" "..." After being slapped, Liang Lei staggered and fell to the ground, staring blankly at everything happening. She was dazed by the slap. Or to be more precise, shocked. How did this pauper suddenly have so many people around him? Suddenly, her pupils shrank. Then she remembered... She had heard that the wastrel Lu Xiaobu from Shimen would always be accompanied by a group of three women and three men. Could it be! This person is Lu Xiaobu!? Realizing this, her breathing became much heavier. But while she was confused, others were not. Liang Lan had just slapped her, but Zhou Jingyuan, this spicy little chili, didnt stop there. She rushed forward and kicked Liang Lei on the ground: "You bitch, just cursing Lu Xiaobu was enough to get you killed three times, and you dared to hit someone! Fuck you." "Oh my!" That kick not only caused Liang Lei pain but also woke her up. "Lu Xiaobu, so what? You think nobody dares to deal with you?" Liang Lei screamed, "I tell you, Young Master Lu is your nemesis! You dare hit me and even dare to steal Young Master Lus woman, youre dead!" "My nemesis?" Lu Xiaobu found it amusing: "Alright, alright. You make a call. Do you have a phone? Ill lend you one." "No need, just wait for your death." Liang Lei gritted her teeth, took out her phone, and dialed a number: "Young Master Lu, I was hit, and that person wants to steal your woman! Hurry up." "Damn, whos eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard? Ill be right there!" A voice somewhat familiar to Lu Xiaobu came through. Liang Lei hung up the phone and sneered at Lu Xiaobu, "Youre dead! You might be arrogant in front of others, but in front of Young Master Lu, youre nothing! Have you forgotten how just a few days ago at Antique Street, Young Master Lu made you kneel and beg for mercy? Youll beg again today!" "Fine!" Lu Xiaobu cracked his neck, "Antique Street? Young Master Lu? Must be Lu Cheng, right?" "Hmph, you finally remembered, but its too late!" Liang Leis shrill laughter was heard. Squeal A loud screeching noise came. A sports car stopped in the square, almost hitting two young people. "Damn it, dont you look where youre going?" Lu Cheng cursed as he got out of the car and approached: "Damn, who is it? Daring to steal my woman? Looking for death?" "Zhang Meng, Li Jin, hold him down for me." Lu Xiaobu squeezed his hands, no more words. "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng and Li Jin immediately complied. They refrained earlier because it was a woman, but now... Hmph! Boom Like dealing with a mere child, they slammed Lu Chengs bodyguard down, then held Lu Cheng down from left and right. Lu Cheng hadnt even reacted before he became a trapped turtle in Lu Xiaobus hands. "Young Master Lu?!" The arrogance that had just been on Liang Leis face, instantly froze. What happened? Didnt Young Master Lu say in bed that day that he is Lu Xiaobus nemesis? How come in just a blink of an eye, Young Master Lu became a prisoner? "Long time no see!" Lu Xiaobu looked at Lu Cheng in front of him, showing a playful smile. "Lu! Lu! Lu Xiaobu!" Lu Chengs eyes widened instantly, looking like a cows eyes. Full of terror?! Damn, what happened? Why would I encounter this scourge? I havent been to places where Lu Xiaobu usually goes these past two days! "You call yourself my nemesis?" Lu Xiaobu tilted his head, asking playfully. S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Who the hell said that?! I..." Lu Cheng cursed out loud, then turned his head to look at Liang Lei on the ground, he understood. He exploded immediately: "Damn it, you cheap woman, I was drunk that day, just bragging! Who the hell asked you to actually provoke Lu Xiaobu! Are you sick? If you want to die, dont drag me into it!" "Uh..." Liang Lei was dumbfounded by the scolding. What?! Just bragging?! Shit, you bragged too much! Even said you are his nemesis? He is your nemesis! You chickened out just like that? After scolding Liang Lei, Lu Cheng immediately put on a pleasing smile: "Young Master Lu, since we all mix in the same circles, right! Theres no need to make it so awkward. How about this, if this cheap woman has offended you, Ill take care of her, Ill deal with her right now!" "No need, you just said, just bragging, so you did say it." Lu Xiaobu moved his body, then took off his shoe and held it in his hand. "I..." Lu Cheng wanted to say something! Smack Lu Xiaobu stuffed all of Lu Chengs words back with the sole of his shoe. "You!" Lu Cheng flared up! Everyone belongs to the same circle, Ive apologized! I also scolded that cheap woman! Do you need to hit me in public? And with a shoe sole hitting my face? "What you?" Lu Xiaobu backhanded with another shoe sole! Smack "I!" "What I!" Smack "F*ck!" "F*ck your mom! Smack The live streaming room watching this scene exploded again. Uh, they lost count of how many times they exploded! Probably similar in power to the Atomic Bomb that bombed Japan back in the day! "Young Master Bu666!" "Nothing more to say, 666 lets go!" "So satisfying to watch! Wasnt this bastard almost hitting someone just now?" "Being rich isnt everything, ah, except Young Master Bu!" "Young Master Bu is truly awesome!" "..." After a few hits, Lu Xiaobu got tired. Although it looked severe, Lu Xiaobus strength attribute wasnt high. It actually wasnt very painful! However, even so, Lu Chengs face had already swollen like a pigs head! And at this moment, Lu Cheng, with swollen cheeks and seeing stars, said: "If its not okay, then I will follow, this is much better!" Translation-Lu Xiaobu, you just wait, my people are coming! Lu Xiaobu turned his head and saw, indeed people were approaching! Chapter 107: Rhythm Slap Master [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Rhythm Slap Master [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The moment rewinds to Lu Xiaobus third slap. Although Liang Lei, lying on the ground, was terrified by the sight, she quickly assessed the situation with utmost speed. She broadcast a life-saving emergency call with her cell phone, which Lu Cheng had told her could be crucial. It was an Underworld call! The call of those who kill without blinking an eye! Indeed, once it was heard Lu Cheng was in trouble, reinforcements arrived immediately. The sight of those fierce and formidable figures was indeed terrifying! Lu Xiaobu was definitely no match for these people; he only had two bodyguards, while there were dozens on the opposing side. She got lost in her fantasies C should she flirt with these guys later? What a powerhouse of bodyguards this could be! And then... She saw the leading man respectfully approach Lu Xiaobu. "Uncle, what are you doing here?" This sentence was heard crystal clear by everyone. "Damn it!" Liang Lei was blown away. "Gaga oh!" Translation: Damn it! Lu Cheng too was stunned! What the hell just happened? Uncle? Uncle my ass! How old is Lu Xiaobu? Youre calling him uncle? And besides, arent you a figure of the Underworld? What are you afraid of Lu Xiaobu for?! Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but laugh at seeing Zhang Wenliang: "Youve arrived just in time, come on, take over and slap him for me, Im tired." "Sure thing." Zhang Wenliang nodded immediately and beckoned over a subordinate: "Go on, slap him!" "Gaga oh!" Lu Cheng was losing his mind! Zhang Wenliang, have you gone freaking mad? Im the one who called you! Me! Not only do you not help me after you arrive, but you also hit me? Does your dad know about you recognizing uncles outside?! But no matter how much Lu Cheng wanted to scream, he couldnt. His face was repeatedly being slapped. Smack smack smack! While on the one side the slapping was ongoing, Zhang Wenliang happily trotted off to a nearby store to buy a few bottles of ice-cold cola: "Uncle, here you go." "Not bad, youve got filial piety." Lu Xiaobu nodded in satisfaction, opened the cola, and took a sip. Then, he turned to Li Ying: "So, how about it? Have you decided to become a live streamer?" At this moment, Li Yings mind was completely blank. To be precise, ever since Lu Xiaobus identity was revealed, her mind had crashed! Forget about pondering over the job proposition; she was now beginning to worry if she could even survive this ordeal! Seeing Li Yings dazed state, Lu Xiaobu frowned, then said: "Alright then, sing a song for us." "Oh!" Li Ying responded absentmindedly but still began to sing the song she knew best, driven by a singers instinct. An unexpected transformation occurred. Li Yings voice was inherently ethereal. In this state, her voice actually transcended! As soon as she started singing, it seemed as if everyone entered into a carefree world, free from any external influence. The slightly violent hearts of the listeners were soothed. Many spontaneously started clapping along. The best clapper, it turned out, was the thug currently slapping Lu Cheng. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The sounds from whomping hand against face were somehow more harmonic than hand clapping against hand. Smack smack, smack smack smack, smack, pitter-smack, pitter-smack! The rhythmic face-slapping, impressive! And damn, it sounded good! ... And with that, the song ended. The chat room exploded again... seems like Ive said that before. Well then, the chat room exploded yet again, havent said that one. "Sounds so damn good!" "You freaking moved me!" "The part that touched me the most was the face-slapping rhythm, it fit so damn well!" "This streamer has got to keep streaming!" "..." The big spenders started throwing gifts again, still going for a full set, not gonna pad the word count here! Well then, lets make a pinky promise, why hang yourself when you can gift a glow stick instead! "Heres what well do. I wont force you, Sister Lan, give her a way to contact you. When shes ready, she can get in touch." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily, speaking with a relaxed tone. Li Yings song had also dispelled the malice in his heart, so he no longer had the desire to deal with Lu Cheng. "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan responded. Li Ying took the phone, dazed, and even as Lu Xiaobu walked away, her mind was still blank. ... After Lu Xiaobu left, Zhang Wenliang reported on the situation here to his father, Zhang Benhu. "Hmm..." Zhang Benhu pondered briefly, then came up with a plan: "First, protect that girl named Li Ying, no matter what the Young Master intends to do, safety is a must." "Yeah, Ive already sent people." Zhang Wenliang was aware of this. "Second, you and I are going to put on another act, perform a show for the Lu family, claim that you acted on your own this time because you had a bet with Lu Xiaobu. Young Master Bu doesnt want our relationship with him to be exposed, so youll have to play the victim," Zhang Benhu continued. "No problem, taking the fall for uncle is nothing big." Zhang Wenliang nodded vigorously. Just means taking a beating! After all, hes used to it from his own dad. Nobody saw this scene, so nobody would have guessed that behind this burgeoning power in the Underworld was that no-good Lu Xiaobu. This so-called ruler of the Shimen Underworld, Zhang Benhu, for a mere word from Lu Xiaobu, was even willing to let his own son take the fall. And Zhang Wenliang took it sweetly as sugar! People on the outside would go mad if they knew! And this is why Lu Xiaobu dares to saythere really isnt anything in Shimen that hes afraid of. The Underworld? Youve seen it! The business world?! Give you a "heh", figure it out yourself! ... The chat room. "Young Master Bu, got any more?" "Yeah, were having a blast today, any other types of streamers?" "Find a couple more." "..." "Im tired. Gonna stop the stream!" Lu Xiaobu yawned as he said, "You all saw the kind of streamers I want. Spread the word, as long as there are streamers with unique talents they are welcome to stream here, but leave the nightclub acts out of it." The chat room immediately erupted into wails. "No way!" "Dont! Play a bit longer, Young Master!" "Yeah! Dont go!" "..." But no matter how much they wailed, it was no use, Lu Xiaobu still ended the stream. ... Since it will take some time before the live-stream becomes fully operational. So, acting on the principles of responsibility, respect, mutual benefit, and the chance to cheat the system a bit more, Lu Xiaobu didnt ask for a favor right away. Well, among these principles, you can just focus on the last one. ... After sending Lu Xiaobu home, Liang Lan went out to take care of the live-stream companys establishment. And Lu Xiaobu found, quite unusually, that his elder brother wasnt at home! This came as a bit of a shock to Lu Xiaobu. "Wheres my big brother?" Lu Xiaobu asked their father. "Your big brother? Hes out on a date." Lu Father wore a hearty smile on his face. It really has been heavenly protection for the Lu family lately! It wasnt just Xiaobu who encountered continuous pleasant surprises. Even Lu Hongbin, who had previously been too cautious to date because of Xiaobu, had now found someone suitable. "My big brother, that blockhead, on a date? Sounds fun!" Lu Xiaobus eyes instantly lit up! "I gotta see this!" Chapter 108: Money Blown in by the Wind [Please Collect, Please Recommend] Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Money Blown in by the Wind [Please Collect, Please Recommend]"No way." Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Lus father uncharacteristically sterned up his face, giving a strict prohibition: "Let me tell you! You cant go causing trouble for your elder brother." "Causing trouble? Me? I cause trouble?" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows and asked: "I am an expert in love, how could I possibly cause trouble?" "Cut the crap. You? A love expert?" Lus father curled his lips: "Qianmin has been with you for so many years, and you havent sealed the deal yet, and you call yourself a love expert?" "Hey? Dad, I dont like what youre implying, what do you mean havent sealed the deal?" Lu Xiaobu argued: "Believe it or not, that girl is now wholly devoted to me." "I dont believe it." Lus father said with a curl of his lips. "Youll see. Hey, I have a short temper." Lu Xiaobu rolled up his sleeves. He went over to the window and shouted across to the other side: "Qianmin, come here." Hearing Lu Xiaobus call, Wu Qianmin quickly came over, frowning and asking: "Xiaobu, whats up? Im still doing my homework, and the college entrance examination is just around the corner." "Its nothing, nothing." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and then approached Wu Qianmin. Muah Lu Xiaobu planted a kiss on Wu Qianmins pretty face. Swoosh Wu Qianmin felt the dampness on her cheek. In an instant Her entire face turned red, like a red apple, irresistibly inviting a bite. So. Muah Lu Xiaobu bit down again. Hahaha! One on each side, even and fair. "Lu Xiaobu!" Wu Qianmin, bashful and shy, stamped her foot and called out. Her neck was already red, her whole body warming up. She didnt know what got into Lu Xiaobu all of a sudden. What was this? A sudden assault. "Uh..." Lus father was stunned at the side. Damn, this rascals got game! When did he manage to do this? Wasnt he about to move out before? Now, not moving out is one thing, but he has even sealed the deal! Looking at her, Qianmin clearly consented! She was kissed twice by Xiaobu, the rascal, without any resistance. Indeed, its a done deal! Lus father quietly gave Lu Xiaobu a thumbs up, arching an eyebrow. Lu Xiaobus eyes gleamedCut the crap, easy-peasy. Wu Qianmin saw the little exchange between father and son, becoming even more bashful: "Uncle Lu, Xiaobu is messing around, and you too..." "Hehe..." Lus father chuckled, then fumbled around on his person for a bit, and took out a jade bracelet, placing it in Wu Qianmins hand: "This is our familys Inheritance, take good care of it. You know what Xiaobu is like better than I do; take good care of him in the future." "Ah?!" Wu Qianmin was stunned, the Inheritance thrust into her hands left her completely stiff. The next second... She bolted from the Lu Family. Back to her own home. But, her hand was tightly clutching the jade bracelet, her heart fluttering like a deer on the loose. She felt both shy and overjoyed. And even a bit smug! Humph, whats the use of having a good figure? The Inheritance is in my hands. Im the main wife! No, no. What am I thinking? I dont want anything to do with that stinky Xiaobu, not anything at all. Just let him go find... No one would do! Overwhelmed, she was completely unaware of what was happening at the Lu Familys. "Dad, stop hiding it, I saw everything, whats this about a bunch of jade bracelets being an Inheritance?" Lu Xiaobu pointed at the little bundle that Lus father was hiding behind him. "You sharp-eyed little rascal." Seeing that Wu Qianmin had left, Lus father took out the small bundle. Lu Xiaobu took a close look: "Wow, one, two, three, four, five... a full eight jade bracelets, plus Qianmins thats nine, and you still call it an Inheritance." "It is an Inheritance." Lus father waved his hand and explained: "These nine are a set, all Inheritance pieces." Then, he took them out one by one, arranging them carefully. "This is for your eldest brothers wife." "This is for your second brothers wife." "Ive already given Wu Qianmins." "This is for your second wife." "This is for your third wife." "This is for your fourth wife." "..." "Wait a minute! Why are all the rest for my wives?" Lu Xiaobu was utterly dumbfounded. Apart from one for the eldest brother and one for the second brother, the remaining seven were all for him. Dad, do you realize how biased you are? Do the eldest and second brothers know? Also, are you really endorsing your kid to get involved with several women? Have you asked the civil affairs bureau? "Nonsense, you are so frail, if you dont find a few wives, what if you have no heirs?" Lus father rolled his eyes, utterly justifying his reasoning. "So, Wu Qianmin doesnt know yet that what shes gotten is only one-seventh." A devious smile curled up on Lu Xiaobus lips. Seven wives? Is Wei Xiaobao reborn?! Well, Wei Xiaobaos taste in wives isnt too bad either - Shuanger, the Sect Hierarch, Jian Ning... Ahem, ahem, back to the story! Honestly, he really wanted to see the look on Wu Qianmins face when she boasted to others. Suddenly... Six identical bracelets appear beside hers, how would she react? Hehehe! Of course, he was only thinking about it. If he really did that, hed probably be done for. "Keep your mouth shut and dont let that girl Qianmin find out," Lus father warned. "Dont worry, Im not stupid," Lu Xiaobu laughed, "But now can I go and see my sister-in-law? I am the love guru here, I should go guide my brother." "No, you still cant go," Lus father objected. "Why not? You wouldnt let me go before, and now I still cant go?" Lu Xiaobu protested. "If you mess things up for your honest elder brother, what then?" Lus father firmly refused. "My elder brother, an honest man? Haha." Lu Xiaobus lips twitched. Only you, his real father, would have the nerve to say that Lu Hongbin, who has struggled in the business world for so many years, is an honest man. But since Lus father did not agree, Lu Xiaobu did not press further. He went upstairs, to sleep. A night without words. Uh... there were words, Wu Qianmin couldnt sleep. Thats the end of this story. The next day. Lu Xiaobu arrived at school as usual. He was greeted as usual by everyone. He gave gratuities as usual. As usual... "Wait a minute, student, what are you doing?" A voice suddenly interrupted Lu Xiaobus daily routines. "Uh... tipping." Lu Xiaobu stated matter-of-factly. He turned around and saw an unfamiliar female teacher looking at him. How to describe this female teacher? In terms of appearance, she surely couldnt compare with Liang Lan and the others, but she was above average. If she made an effort to dress up a bit, scoring her 80 out of 100 wouldnt be a problem. However, what made her endearing was the pair of gentle yet strict, compassionate yet uncompromising eyes. It was a look that only belongs to teachers who truly consider their students as their own children. "Tipping? Did your money come from the wind?" The female teacher furrowed her brows. sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Uh... pretty much." Lu Xiaobu pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. It was all easily earned during times of squandering, pretty much like windfall. The female teacher: "..." Chapter 109: Feeding the Ungrateful White-Eyed Wolf [Extra for 2000 votes] Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Feeding the Ungrateful White-Eyed Wolf [Extra for 2000 votes]The female teacher heard what Lu Xiaobu said and was left all disheveled in the wind. Almost? What do you mean almost? Do you really think your familys money is blown in by the wind?! Then she shook her head and said, "Even if it really was blown in by the wind, thats no good either. You shouldnt casually give your money to others, as it not only causes you to lose your money, but also enables other students to develop the bad habit of idleness and aversion to work, which is negative." "Er..." Lu Xiaobu touched his chin; "Alright, then no rewards for today." "Phew..." The female teacher patted her chest, relieved. But while she felt relieved, the students of Class 6 were not having it. They were a bunch of scum to begin with, naturally they had nothing good to say. "Hey, teacher, who do you think you are? Arent you going too far?" "Exactly, blocking ones financial path is like killing ones parents, by what right do you decide these things?" "Young Master Bu is willing to give to us, what authority do you have to stop it?" "Playing the saint, are you?" "I just dont believe youd refuse the money if it was offered to you." "..." They could receive a thousand yuan a day from Lu Xiaobu, which was enough for them to live lavishly. Now that it stopped suddenly, itd be strange if they had anything nice to say. "Id like to introduce myself to everyone, your previous homeroom teacher has been reassigned by the school to another class. I am your new homeroom teacher, Lin Shu, you can call me Teacher Lin." Lin Shu felt a flush of embarrassment on her face when she heard the students taunts, but still bravely stepped up to the lectern to introduce herself. Although she had heard about the uniqueness of this class, the reality was still so hard to bear once she experienced it herself. The students of Class 6 were still relentless. "Lin Shu? Looks more like Uncle Lin, have you had surgery?" "Wow, you guys are right, there is quite a resemblance." "Speaking of which, with the college entrance exams coming up, you managed to replace our original homeroom teacher; did you do some sort of special deal?" "Nice, just got here and already taking a senior class. No wonder youre so bold." "..." Lin Shu was close to crying, feeling aggrieved at these nasty words. What did she do wrong? To attract such scorn so quickly? "Everyone shut the hell up." Lu Xiaobu was clearly annoyed: "What the hell are you all babbling about! Its my money, if I give it to you, you take it; if not, its not your place to nag!" The female teacher was looking out for his interests, as well as the other students, yet these ungrateful wretches kept complaining. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the scum of Class 6 dared not speak anymore. However, a small voice came out: "Tch, acting all high and mighty, as if anyone would care what you say if it wasnt for your money." The voice wasnt loud, but in the deathly quiet classroom, it was crystal clear. And these words were so chilling, so infuriating! "Good, very good!" Lu Xiaobu was amused, his anger turned to amusement as he stood up and clapped his hands: "Its really a case of bitterness over charity, grudges over giving. I pamper you guys with rewards every day, and there are issues, huh! Now I understand, Teacher Lin is right, I really shouldnt indulge you all." Even Zhou Jingyuan was furious: "Youre really a bunch of white-eyed wolves that cant be fed to satisfaction. Xiaobu gives you money every day, and you really think of him as an easy mark." "Just now, who the hell was farting, come out!" Seeing Lu Xiaobu and Zhou Jingyuan really enraged, the whole class quieted down even more. Nobody dared to stand out, that would be a death wish! "No ones talking, huh." Lu Xiaobu sneered and nodded: "Good, very united. Seems like Ive been too nice to you usually. Today, Ill play the role of the wastrel. If no one admits it, then each of you gets two slaps! Keep slapping until we find out who it was!" At these words, everyones pupils shrank instantly. They were just hot-headed and outspoken a moment ago. Now, with things escalated to this point, they were scared! Truly frightened! Suddenly, those who had heard the earlier comment started to look in the direction of the voice. The classroom is only so big, so I believe that person will be found very quickly. And at this moment. "Classmate, can I say something to you, please?" However, Lin Shu was now standing in front of Lu Xiaobu, blocking his line of sight, preventing him from seeing who had spoken. "Ms. Lin?" Lu Xiaobu cocked his head. "Could I ask you to let go of pursuing this matter?!" Lin Shus eyes were fixed on Lu Xiaobus, speaking earnestly. Her gaze was gentle, grand, radiant with a maternal glow. "Sigh..." Lu Xiaobu, looking into those eyes, closed his own and let out a long breath: "Fine, since Ms. Lin has spoken, I cant be bothered to argue. After all, college entrance exams are just around the corner, so you all be good." Hearing that Lu Xiaobu had agreed, Lin Shu also let out a sigh of relief. She could see that this Lu Xiaobu was definitely not ordinary. Though at first he seemed lazy and carefree, even a bit of an easy mark. But in that moment of rage just now, his entire aura changed. Imposing, arrogant, peerless, unrestrained to an extreme, yet undeniably convincing! Because he has that status! The rest of the class also sighed in relief, each sitting back in their seats like well-behaved children. Especially that kid who had just blurted out, his clothes were now soaked through. He had just barely avoided entering Ghost Gate. What he didnt notice was that Li Qiangs gaze had already locked onto him, fierce and ruthless. Sister Lan and Brother Meng had made it clear to him, if you take the salary, you must do the work. No one is allowed to upset Young Master Bu in class. And todays incident was a serious dereliction of his duty! Someone must pay the price! S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was something that didnt even require Young Master Bus arrangement. ... The students of Class Six spent the day with trepidation. They attended the quietest, most well-behaved day of school since high school. Forget behaving like before, sleeping, or playing with their phones, just sitting there felt like sitting on pins and needles. And this was all because of Lu Xiaobus earlier words. After school. Lu Xiaobu and his crew noisily drove off. And at that moment, Lu Xiaobu noticed someone. "Big brother?" Lu Xiaobu was stunned and quickly asked Zhang Meng to stop the car. "Dont, dont come here." Lu Hongbin obviously saw Lu Xiaobu as well but turned around, back to the school, waving his hands at Lu Xiaobu. "Huh? Theres a problem." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, a mischievous smile appearing on his lips. If his big brother wasnt at school to see him, then who was he here for? He remembered that his big brother seemed to have... started dating, right. Heh heh! Dad, its not that I want to meddle, its just that hes marched straight into my sights. So, its not my fault. Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin also let out a mischievous laugh, almost as if they were cut from the same cloth as Lu Xiaobu. They all had been led astray by Lu Xiaobu. Chapter 110: Who is the Honest Person [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Who is the Honest Person [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu and his companions, grinning mischievously, drove the RV to a quiet spot and stopped. They all hid inside, sneakily peering out. Before long, they saw Lu Hongbins girlfriend leaving the school. As many might have guessed, it was the new head teacher of Class Six, Lin Shu. At this moment, Lin Shu had abandoned her usual classroom demeanour. Instead, with light makeup and a smiling face, she looked very happy. "Over here." Lu Hongbin spotted Lin Shu and immediately started waving. "Youre here." Lin Shu, unabashed, said with ease. "Lets go, lets have some coffee, and then go see a movie later." Lu Hongbin said with a smile. "Okay." Lin Shu nodded, walking side by side with Lu Hongbin. But there werent any intimate gestures between them. "Oh... I see," Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin inside the RV. "No wonder a new teacher could be transferred to a senior high class right before the college entrance exams, especially to head our wretched class... Turns out my big brother pulled some strings." "Erm... Xiaobu, actually, I think the assignment of the new head teacher to your class wasnt arranged by Big Brother Lu." Wu Qianmin said with a bitter smile, "Dont you know that your class has another important role in our school, which is to serve as a trial?" "A trial?" Lu Xiaobu seemed puzzled. "Yeah, a trial C a trial of the mind and character. Every new teacher is assigned to your class for a while to toughen up their psychological strength." Wu Qianmin explained, "Havent you noticed that your substitute teachers change every so often?" "I hadnt paid attention to that. But now that you mention it, it does seem like new faces crop up frequently," Lu Xiaobu shrugged as he spoke. "This is the only contribution your lousy class has made C almost every teacher that comes out of your class sheds their naivety and becomes much more mature." Wu Qianmin shook her head with a wry smile, "I cant even begin to imagine the torment you put those teachers through C how dreadful it must be!" Meanwhile, the conversation between Lu Hongbin and Lin Shu confirmed this fact. "Hongbin, how did you do it? You actually got me into the school?" Lin Shu asked with a faint blush. "Hehe, I have some connections with the school, but they havent been hard on you, have they?" Lu Hongbin feigned ignorance as he spoke. "No," Lin Shu shook her head and said, "Its just that with the college entrance exams coming up, theres a lot of psychological pressure in leading a senior class." Though the head of studies and the principal had made it clear that it didnt matter what state Class Six was in, as if it were just an internship. But as a teacher, she couldnt think that way. She still wanted to teach her students as best as possible. Even if their academic performance was already set. At the very least, she had to teach them the principles of being a good person! "What?!" Lu Hongbins face suddenly darkened, "Im going to talk to them! How can a new teacher take on a senior class?!" "Hey, dont make a fuss." Lin Shu quickly held back Lu Hongbin, "Its the schools rule; everyone is treated the same. Besides, its already good that they arranged for me to get in through your connections. Lets not trouble them any more." "Which class?" Lu Hongbin took a deep breath and asked. This matter wasnt over. "Class Six," Lin Shu replied. "Erm... Alright." Lu Hongbins annoyance dissipated, and he let out a wry smile, "Thats fine." "Whats fine?" Lin Shu was puzzled. "Nothing." As Lu Hongbin spoke, he took the opportunity to grab Lin Shus hand, holding it tightly while he looked up at the sky. "Mm..." Lin Shus cheeks flushed a deep red, and although she struggled lightly and failed to pull away, she let out a light sigh and resigned herself to the situation. Lu Hongbin had been reassured when he heard it was Class Six. After all, Xiaobu was there and wouldnt let Lin Shu be aggrieved. What? You say Lu Xiaobu doesnt know?! Heh, as if I couldnt see that huge RV right behind us! This rascally kid has learned to watch his big brother make a fool of himself. When we get back, Im cutting off his pocket money... Erm, except he seems to be richer than me. Fine, then! Lu Xiaobu curled his lips at the scene, "My dad still calls my big bro an honest man? Look at you, still honest? Im the honest one here." "Um... Honest Young Master, could you maybe move your hand down a bit?" Liang Lans face turned red as she whispered softly into Lu Xiaobus ear. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She then pushed down the hand of Lu Xiaobu, which had been climbing up her stockings and was about to reach an indescribable area. Seriously, this Young Master, the moment you look away, he starts to act like a hooligan. "Cough cough." Lu Xiaobu coughed nonchalantly: "Just watch the show, watch the show." They arrived at the coffee shop. Lu Hongbin naturally chose a window couples booth and took Lin Shu inside. Lu Xiaobu and his group also crowded in. "Handsome guy and beautiful lady, how about giving up your seats to us?" Lu Xiaobu found a booth that had a perfect view of Lu Hongbins actions, and said to the couple inside, "Ill cover all your expenses here today." Hearing this, the young couple immediately nodded and gave up their seats to Lu Xiaobu and his party. Lu Xiaobu sat down, ordered a cup of coffee, made a hole in a magazine, and continued watching the drama unfold. "Sorry, I need to use the restroom." Lin Shu suddenly spoke up, picking up her bag as if she had something to take care of. After saying that, Lin Shu left. Then... "You rascal, youre enjoying watching your big bros embarrassment, arent you." Lu Hongbin gritted his teeth as he glared at Lu Xiaobu beside him. "Go ahead and bite me!" Lu Xiaobu shamelessly responded, "Honestly, big bro, youre no good at love." "Go away, its not your turn to lecture me. Mind your own business!" Lu Hongbins old face turned red as he tried to shoo Xiaobu away. "I wont. Besides, Im worried about my new homeroom teacher being bullied by others. As for you? Who are you to me?" Lu Xiaobu earnestly spouted nonsense. "You little brat, I..." Lu Hongbins brows shot up. "Cough cough cough, shes back, shes back." Lu Xiaobu caught a glimpse of Lin Shu returning and quickly coughed a few times. Lu Hongbin quickly sat up straight and finally said, "Right now your sister-in-law still doesnt know my identity, thinks Im just an ordinary office worker, dont blow my cover." "Sure, no big deal," Lu Xiaobu quickly nodded his head. Lin Shu came back. "Hong Bin, were you talking to someone?" Lin Shu sat down and asked, "Do you know them?" "No, I was just talking to myself just now," Lu Hongbin hurriedly said. "Oh." Lin Shu nodded but still looked suspiciously over at Lu Xiaobu. She clearly heard Lu Hongbin talking to someone over there just before. Seeing this scene. Lu Hongbin immediately became nervous. If she found out, the plan would be ruined. And at that moment... Underneath the magazine, Lu Xiaobu pursed his lipsit was up to him to save the day. His eyes swiveled, revealing a hint of mischiefWell, might as well give you two a little help. ------------------ These past few days, people keep asking me if Im a joker? Im telling you!

Chapter 111: Isn’t this too shameless? [Bonus - for 3000 recommendation votes] Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Isnt this too shameless? [Bonus Chapter for 3000 recommendation votes]Lu Xiaobu gave Li Jin a meaningful look, and Li Jin instantly understood. He left his seat, went to the RV, and carried out the dumbass who was snuggled up and sleeping in the air-conditioned vehicle. What, you say pets arent allowed in the caf? Take a look at the banknotes in my hand, and then answer my question. Oh, so theyre just not allowed to run around. Thats not a problem. "Dumbass, Im going to hit you." Lu Xiaobu left the booth and went outside to speak to the dumbass. This clever little devil has been trained by being around him. He knows all the tricks of acting cute and charming. Just by saying he would hit him, the dumbass would act pitiful. A couple of days ago, the dumbass mischievously broke something in the house. Lu Xiaobu was about to deal with him. What a clever thing, it acted so pitifully. That made the Lu family feel so sorry for it. As a result, Lu Xiaobu ended up looking like the bad guy. Sure enough... "Ao?" The dumbass lay on the ground looking aggrieved, its tail drooping, and wearing a pitiful expression. It looked as if Lu Xiaobu had committed an unforgivable crime. "Right, just like that." Lu Xiaobu pointed at Lin Shu and said, "Go to her and maintain this posture." "Ao?" The dumbass was confused. "Just go when I tell you, no backtalk. Be careful or Ill really whack you." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. The dumbass had no choice but to obey. Then, Lin Shu, who had been puzzled, saw a pitiful little dog lying beside her. "Ao..." The dumbass let out a poor little whimper, its eyes fixed on Lin Shu. Had it not been for its glossy fur and bulging belly, one might really have thought it hadnt eaten for a while. But even so, it still triggered Lin Shus maternal instincts to the max. In an instant, she let go of her previous doubts. "Whats wrong? Little dog?" Lin Shu left her seat and squatted down, asking caringly. "Phew!" Lu Hongbin breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lu Xiaobu a nod. That Xiaobu really did have a way about him. The dumbass, meanwhile, continued to maintain that pitiful state, staring at Lin Shu. It had no choice. The master hadnt given the command, so it had to keep it up. It melted Lin Shus heart. She both fed it and spoke kindly to it. But it was no use, she was so flustered and anxious. Lu Xiaobu gave Lu Hongbin a meaningful look. The Lu familys secret signal. Bip bip Its your turn. Lu Hongbin nodded and then also squatted down, saying gently, "Let me do it." Lin Shu immediately asked in a hurry, "Do you have a way? Is the little dog hurt, or...?" Lu Hongbin smiled and said, "Come, good boy, come here." The dumbass, upon seeing Lu Hongbin speak, stopped pretending and immediately ran into his arms, wagging its tail. Do you think acting pitiful is easy? Its exhausting, okay. This scene left Lin Shu stunned. What happened? She had been fussing over it for so long to no avail. And it went over to Hongbin just like that? "Im just naturally adored by little animals." Lu Hongbin said with a smile. But inwardly, he was thinkingusing his own dogthe dumbass as a topic, wasnt that a bit shameless? "So you like little animals too." Lin Shu immediately elevated her impression of Lu Hongbin a few notches. With the help of the dumbass, the two of them smoothly bypassed the previous question and got back on track. As they talked, Lin Shu, who was a teacher and also the headteacher, started talking about what had happened in her class today. "Hongbin, you have no idea, theres a student in our class whos incredibly intimidating. You could even say terrifying." Lin Shu said with a hint of fear. "Terrifying?" Lu Hongbin was surprised. Who could be terrifying in Xiaobus class? "Yeah, that student looks all laid-back, but the moment he got angry, even I couldnt help but shiver. His presence was just so domineering." Lin Shu continued, "I really dont know how a mere student could be so frightening?" "Whats his name?" Lu Hongbin furrowed his brows. Now that Xiaobu and Lin Shu were both in Class 6, if there really was such a student, he might need to think of a solution. "Let me think; I looked at the class roster after class." Lin Shu thought for a moment and said, "It seems his surname is Lu, just like yours, called... called Xiaobu, right, Lu Xiaobu." "Pfft!" Lu Hongbin almost spat out his drink, quickly coughing to cover it up. Lu Xiaobu? Terrifying? Presence? Domineering? Lin Shu, oh Lin Shu, how did you even connect these words together? That little prodigal son terrifying? Domineering? Having presence? What kind of presence does he have? Aside from the presence of a wastrel who squanders money freely, he has no other presence. "What, you dont believe it?" Lin Shu frowned, but then she let it go, "Youre right to be skeptical; after all, its hard to imagine if you havent seen that kid with your own eyes." "Uh..." Lu Hongbin suddenly didnt know how to continue the conversation. Seen with his own eyes? He wouldnt dare say it confidently, but watching Lu Xiaobu? He sees him every day. And hes seen every bit of him inside and out. Yet, he hasnt noticed the domineering presence youre talking about! Oh, right, except for that time at the press conference when his presence was quite handsome. But that wasnt domineering! Xiaobu, listening to this topic on the side, kept rolling his eyes. Hey, you guys really... Why bring up such a topic? Why drag me into this? No, this cant go on. If Big Brother keeps discussing him, hes sure... Sooner or later, therell be a slip of the tongue. Look... Speaking of the devil. "Really, that student, because of some incident, he got angry, and at that moment, the whole class went dead silent. He even said he would slap each student twice, and none of them dared to talk back. If thats not being domineering, what is?" Lin Shu continued. "Thats impossible, Xiaobu he..." Lu Hongbin blurted out instinctively, then quickly covered his mouth. Crap, he had let it slip. Just as expected... "Xiaobu? You know this student?" Lin Shu asked, puzzled. "This... that..." Lu Hongbin was in a bit of a dilemma. Because Lin Shu seemed to be somewhat indifferent to the offspring of wealthy families. So, he had always pretended to be an ordinary white-collar worker around Lin Shu. Now, if Xiaobus identity and his own were revealed, wouldnt that be deceiving her? This was a big problem. And at that moment... Buzz... S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Shus phone rang, and her brows furrowed once more, "Sorry, I have to go to the restroom." "Phew!" Lin Shu left, and the two brothers heaved a sigh of relief. "Xiaobu, you have to tell me, what exactly did you do in the class today?" Lu Hongbin hastily asked, "This conversation is about to go off the rails!" "Dont panic, dont panic, let me think of something." Lu Xiaobu said, also frowning in thought. Lin Shu is now his homeroom teacher, and if the conversation continues like this, even if they manage to change the topic temporarily, it will eventually come back to the school, back to him. This is a bit tricky! If his relationship caused his brothers romance to crash, how could he bear it? But by this time, Lin Shu had already returned. Lu Hongbin began to sweat with anxiety. Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyesdamn it, if its come to this, then its time to play the trump card! Chapter 112: Love Master [Bonus - for 4000 recommendation votes] Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Love Master [Bonus Chapter for 4000 recommendation votes]Seeing Lin Shu returning. Lu Xiaobu cleared his throat and pinched his voice to change its tone: "Ahem, guy across from me, I thought it over just now, actually, the line Shushu I like you should change to Darling, I love you, its better, and theres the rest... Oh, youre back! Ill stop talking." Whoosh At these words, Lin Shus footsteps instantly stiffened, her cheeks turned red in an instant, and her entire brain crashed. What does this mean? Could it... could it be... that Hong Bin was practicing a confession just now? But, weve only known each other for a short while. Although, hes quite a nice guy. But, but, but... She froze, and Lu Hongbin wasnt having an easy time either. He was making frantic eye signals at Lu Xiaobu. Lu Family code. Drip drip drop, signal sending Little rascal, what are you doing! Everythings messy enough already! You pull this stunt now, how am I supposed to wrap this up? Are you really here just to make trouble for me!? Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, signal received, also began to make eye signals Beep beep drip, signal sending Things are already like this, might as well strike first! What are you afraid of? No need to be timid, just do it! Your little brother is here for you, whatever you need, Ill get it ready. Lu Hongbin continued Dont talk big, are you saying you wouldnt gift anything when confessing? I havent prepared anything yet. Lu Xiaobu Piece of cake, Ill give it to you. Then... Lu Xiaobu turned his head and whispered to Wu Qianmin: "Qianmin, quick, lend me the bracelet my dad gave you." "Ah?!" Wu Qianmin was momentarily stunned and somewhat reluctant: "Why? This is what Uncle Lu gave me, are you..." "Dont get carried away." Lu Xiaobu waved his hands and planted a kiss on Wu Qianmins pretty face. mua. "My big brother is in a pickle now! Ill lend it to him first, my dad has another one prepared for him, identical, Ill give you that one later," Lu Xiaobu continued. "This..." Wu Qianmins brain also crashed on the spot. At home, with family around, thats one thing, but now, in public, this Xiaobu... However, her heart still felt sweet and comfortable. Why? No reason, just because Sister Lan and Zhou Jingyuan are right here, doesnt that mean... Hmph, Xiaobu kissed me, this thing is mine alone! Since its Big Brother Lus issue, then its mine too. I should take it out and help, and maybe show off a bit... Ahem, the latter isnt important. "Here." Wu Qianmin reluctantly took the jade bracelet out of her bag and handed it to Lu Xiaobu. "Good Qianmin, Ill reward you when we get back, tell me, do you want the top or bottom?" Lu Xiaobu said with a streak of saucy comments. "You! Im ignoring you now!" Wu Qianmins face turned even redder. Lu Xiaobu took the bracelet, stealthily held it up, and winked at Lu Hongbinlook at this. "Hiss!" Lu Hongbin took a sharp breath. My goodness, you little brat, where did you get this from? He remembered his father treated this as an Inheritance; he wouldnt even let him look at it ordinarily. Geez, Dad, youre really playing favorites now, arent you! But then, he glanced at Lin Shus expression and checked out Lu Xiaobus stuff. His eyes rolled aroundcould it be a good chance to press the victory? "I need to use the restroom." Lu Hongbin gave Lu Xiaobu a meaningful look. "Sure!" Lin Shu blushed and nodded; her mind was still a mess. She didnt know if she should accept if Hong Bin really confessed his feelings. ... The two brothers, Lu Hongbin and Lu Xiaobu, went to the restroom. "Damn kid, youre just here to make trouble for me," Lu Hongbin said with a laugh and a curse. "I was planning on waiting a bit longer, but look at you, pushing the duck onto the perch." "Scared of what?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "You like her, she likes you, why not get straight to the point? Even if she finds out who you really are later, its still easier to salvage a formal relationship than the current mess, isnt it?" "Thats true," Lu Hongbin agreed. "A formal relationship is indeed a bit better." "Thats right, cook the rice into a done deal quick, to avoid any more unexpected complications," Lu Xiaobu said with a knowledgeable look. "But you didnt mentionI almost forgot that Lin Shu really seems to be hiding something from me," Lu Hongbin frowned and said. "Should I wait a bit longer?" "Stop overthinking it, man in love. Your IQ really drops to zero," Lu Xiaobu spoke exasperatedly. "Tell me, does your girl know about your real identity?" "She doesnt, thats for sure," Lu Hongbin affirmed. "Then thats settled. Since she doesnt know your identity, it means shes not after anything beyond who you are personally, and thats enough." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively and confidently said, "As for other troubles, what about them? Cant our Lu Family handle it?" "Thats right too!" Lu Hongbin, having heard Lu Xiaobus words, had an epiphany. Yeah, what the heck am I scared of! As long as Lin Shu doesnt have ill intentions, theres no trouble that cant be dealt with. "Xiaobu, youre something else." After shifting his mindset, Lu Hongbin gave Lu Xiaobu a thumbs up. "Please, Im a master of love," Lu Xiaobu laughed. "Oh, then, Master of Love, tell me, how are you going to solve the situation where you kissed Qianmin in front of Liang Lan and Zhou Jingyuan, and also the matter of showing off the Inheritance?" Lu Hongbin shrugged. "Hisss!" Lu Xiaobu sucked in a breath of air. Crap, I forgot about that. Uh... is there any love master who can tell me what to do? Im waiting online, its kind of urgent. ... S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Back at the caf. Lu Xiaobu quickly noticed the three women calmly stirring their coffees. No one spoke, but the atmosphere made it creepily clear that they had already had some kind of mental exchange. It looked like both sides had suffered losses. Thankfully, all three women were sensible and knew that the most critical issue at the moment was Lu Hongbins matter. ... Lu Hongbin was making smooth progress. After all, not only men fall to zero IQ when in love, women do too. Under the cool and collected offensive of Lu Hongbin... Lin Shu only had the option to nod her head blushing. But why did Lu Xiaobu feel the air around them getting colder? ... Just when everyone thought things were going smoothly, suddenly a man burst in, heading straight for Lu Hongbins table, cursing, "Damn it, you slut, act all high and mighty, will you! I was wondering why you dumped me, turns out you found yourself a new pretty boy!" Seeing the man, Lin Shus face turned from sweet to scared, panicked and worried: "Why have you come? I didnt..." "Go to hell, thought you could dump me? I put a tracker on your phone." The man said with disgusting confidence and shamelessness. "Bang!" Lu Xiaobus hand slammed down on the table hard. It was this moment that Lu Hongbin realized the domineering Lu Xiaobu Lin Shu had mentioned, was actuallyreal! Chapter 113 Trapping Brother [4th Update, Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Trapping Brother [4th Update, Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Hearing what the man said, Lu Hongbins face instantly darkened. Install a tracker on Lin Shus phone? Such an invasion of privacy was nothing short of a crime. No matter who the other person was, such a thing was not permitted. What was even more despicable was that the man was actually taking pride in it. "How about that, didnt expect this did you? You thought you could escape my grasp by just changing cities? Let me tell you, youll never escape my hold in this lifetime." Lin Shu was furious, the gentle woman fumed for the first time: "Wang Long, how could you be so excessive! I already told you, were done!" "Done? You say were done and its over?" Wang Long cursed: "Damn bitch, Ive been with you every day, just to sleep with you, right? Do you think youre lined with gold or something! You want to break up now, after running off with some pretty boy? Think its that easy? Leave me five hundred thousand and then we can break up!" "You!" Lin Shu burst into tears. She couldnt believe how shameless this person was! She was a very traditional woman, believed in supporting her husband and educating her children, and wanted to save her first time for the wedding night. Thats why she never thought of being untrue after getting together with Wang Long. But Wang Long became more and more unbearable, not only did he not earn money, but he also kept asking her for money to spend, and even treated her as that kind of woman! This completely drove her to despair, and in a fit of anger, she came to Shimen. Thats when she met Lu Hongbin. But this Wang Long kept harassing her, calling her every day, just now she went to the restroom and it was Wang Long who called, even threatening her family last time. Which means, if it wasnt for Lu Xiaobus quick decision just now, no one knows what could have developed today. Lin Shu was so angry she wanted to cry, having finally found the right person. But now this Wang Long, he even directly found his way here, even demanding separation fees? "Thats going too far. Lin Shu is my girlfriend now." Lu Hongbins expression was as still as water, as he stood up to protect Lin Shu. "Just you? A pretty boy?" Wang Long sized up Lu Hongbin with clicking sounds from his mouth: "I could knock you down with one slap, but fine, if you really want this bitch, then cough up five hundred thousand. Otherwise? Heh, lets see if she dares to leave with you." "You! Wang Long! Dont harm my parents..." Lin Shu panicked. "Bang!" Lu Xiaobus palm slammed hard onto the table, his expression stern: "Big brother, I didnt want to make a move, but I cant take it, dont blame your little brother for overstepping." Lay a hand on his big brother? Thats asking for death! "Zhang Meng, Li Jin!" Lu Xiaobu called out coldly. "Young Master, present!" Two men built like towers stood up. "Throw him out, hand him over to Zhang Wenliang to deal with, remember, if our friend here says its not over, then make it over for him! Then throw him into the police station!" Lu Xiaobus voice was icy and merciless. Over, sever what? No need to speak further. Naturally, its to sever where it should be severed! "Yes!" The two men took their orders. Zhang Meng grabbed Wang Long and started towards the door. "Who are you? What do you want to do? Be careful, Ill call the police!" Wang Long struggled frantically. A sliver of fierceness flashed in his eyes, he grabbed the cup on the coffee table, ready to smash it on Zhang Mengs head. "Bang!" Li Jinyi punched him in the abdomen, causing all his movements to dissolve into nothing. Clean and decisive, with not a single extra action. "Ah!" Wang Long screamed from his mouth. He finally understood his fate, and began to beg for mercy frantically: "No, no, spare me! Lin Shu! Save me, save me ah! I was wrong!" Wang Longs screams echoed through the cafe. Seeing Wang Long like this, Lin Shu obviously softened, her mouth agape. Lu Xiaobu gave her a look. Liang Lan, Zhou Jingyuan, and Wu Qianmin immediately got the message, went up to block Lin Shus line of sight, and started chatting with Lin Shu, so that she had no mind to pay attention to Wang Long. Lu Hongbin watched this scene and the Lu Xiaobu in front of him, who was completely different from his usual jovial self, and he was stunned. This... is Xiaobu? Is this the carefree Xiaobu? No mistake, thats Xiaobu alright! But! This feeling is all wrong! And, he just mentioned Zhang Wenliang, right? Why would he know Zhang Wenliang? Its only now that he remembers what Lin Shu said earlier that overbearing Lu Xiaobu! Wang Long vanished. "Bro, sister-in-law." Lu Xiaobu reverted to his usual grinny self, stretching out his hand: "I helped out, shouldnt I get some reward?" "Get lost. Helping your brother and you still want a reward?" Lu Hongbin instinctively cursed with a laugh. But then he was taken aback. Looking at the familiar Lu Xiaobu before him, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Was it all just an illusion? No, that cant be right! Which one is the real Xiaobu? At this moment, Lin Shu finally noticed Lu Xiaobu: "You! Are you... Lu Xiaobu?" What? Why is this overbearing student here? And hes calling her sister-in-law? Lu... Xiaobu? Lu... Hongbin? Same surname, Lu? Could it be? "Yeah, sister-in-law," said Lu Xiaobu with a smile: "Let me formally introduce him, this is my brother, my real brother." Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Ah?" Lin Shu was even more puzzled: "But, you... he, he is a white-collar worker, isnt he?" "Right! Exactly! Hes a white-collar worker, he works for me." Lu Xiaobu spread his hands and said playfully: "Oh, I get it! My brother actually lied to you, hes so bad! Sister-in-law, Ill tell you, to deal with my brother, you have to play rough, hot pepper water, tiger bench, dont hold back, just go for it!" "You little rascal... you!" cried out Lu Hongbin, fuming: "When have you ever seen a brother sabotage his own brother?" "Pfft!" Lin Shu was amused by the brothers clowning around. Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, signaling with the Lu familys secret languageThe rest is up to you. Lu HongbinDont get too happy, youll explain everything to me clearly when we get home tonight. What exactly is going on? Lu XiaobuPlease, first see if you can even make it home tonight before you talk. Dont disappoint me. Lu HongbinWhats that supposed to mean? Lu XiaobuI mean, if you make it home tonight, Ill certainly explain everything clearly, but if you cant make it back, heh heh, dont wait up. But if you do come back tonight, hmph, Ill look down on you. Lu HongbinYou! You scoundrel, cornering me from both ends. Lu XiaobuGo ahead, bite me. "Lets go, lets go." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, leading a group out one after the other. The caf returned to its tranquil state. Lu Hongbin and Lin Shu exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shyness, confusion, and apologies. But the two, who had calmed down from Lu Xiaobus antics just now, were also not dwelling on what had just happened. Right, what was there to mull over? Meeting the right person was a joyous occasion, all else was trivial. The two instinctively drew closer. Closer... Closer... Closer... And then... They both turned their heads at the same time. Sure enough... They saw Lu Xiaobus face, plastered against the glass, staring intently over here. Judging by the shape of his mouth, he seemed to be shouting: "Kiss, kiss." "Uh... damn, spotted, run!" Realizing that he had been discovered, Lu Xiaobu first looked stunned, then took off running. "Snort, hahahahaha!" Watching Lu Xiaobus retreating figure, Lu Hongbin and Lin Shu couldnt contain their laughter. The twos hands also slowly joined together, hearts coming closer.

"Young Master, Li Ying has officially started live streaming, and many people have seen the success of Qin Ce and Li Yings live streams. They have joined our live streaming platform one after another. The live streaming company is also basically set up, and everything is developing in a good direction." Liang Lan reported to Lu Xiaobu about the live streaming. However, her tone today felt a bit too businesslike. To be honest, she was feeling a little uncomfortable. She knew very well that Wu Qianmin was a more suitable match for Young Master in terms of social status. But when she actually saw the scene in the coffee shop, there was a knot in her heart. "Whats up, Sister Lan?" Lu Xiaobu grabbed Liang Lans hand and pulled her to sit down: "Are you jealous?" "No." Liang Lan replied in a flat tone. But she didnt refuse Lu Xiaobus gesture. "Alright, Ill tell you a secret," Lu Xiaobus eyes rolled, and he said in a low voice, "There are actually nine of those jade bracelets, besides my eldest brother and my second brother, the remaining seven are all mine." "Really?!" A flash of brilliance burst forth from Liang Lans beautiful eyes. Then she calmed down again: "Young Master, Im going to sleep." Liang Lan left in her high heels, but her steps seemed a bit floaty. Though she knew, having seven didnt necessarily mean one was for her. And even if there was one for her, shed have to share it with others. But for some reason, just knowing that the Inheritance wasnt the only one made her very happy. She was sure to have sweet dreams tonight. Lu Xiaobu watched Liang Lans leaving figure, spreading his hands. Women, sometimes are so hard to understand they could explode, but at other times theyre frightfully simple. He was thinking this as he casually opened the Juechen live stream and logged into his audience account that was registered later. Not many people knew about this account, only the very first batch of his audience. Looking at the not so few live streaming rooms, Lu Xiaobu nodded in approval. It really seemed quite professional. He first went to check out Qin Ces live streaming room. As soon as he entered, he heard Qin Ces endless showboating. After training with Lu Xiaobu, he started to develop his own style, a mix of skill broadcasting and flamboyant talking. "Im telling you, back when I was in the internet cafe, I was the undefeated champ, anyone who saw me had to call me bro." "What? Young Master Bu? Let me tell you, it was Young Master Bu who invited me, I didnt even show him any face, do you understand?" The chat exploded instantly. Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "666666!" "This bragging is impressive, Im convinced." "If I hadnt been watching the live stream back then, Id have thought you were telling the truth." "Hahaha, @Young Master Bu, someones blowing their own trumpet here, arent you going to do something about it?" "..." Lu Xiaobu laughed, flicking his finger to gift two treasure maps. Ten thousand yuan. "Ma Zhongchitu gifts the broadcaster a treasure map." "Ma Zhongchitu gifts the broadcaster a treasure map." "..." Some viewers who didnt know what was happening were instantly filled with envy. "66666!" "Qin Ce, you struck it rich this time, a treasure map!" "Awesome, awesome, legendary rich, please let me hang onto your coattails!" "Digging for treasure, digging for treasure." "..." But those true old viewers were laughing their heads off. They knew exactly who Ma Zhongchitu was. "Hahahaha!" "Qin Ce, what were you saying just now?" "Ha ha ha, cant take it anymore, need to laugh for a bit." "My stomach hurts from laughing." "..." Qin Ce sat in front of his computer, looking at those two treasure maps, the game was almost gg. "This, uh, that, ha ha, we meet in life in the strangest places." He felt so embarrassed inside, his boasting happened to hit right on Young Master Bus barrel. But to ask him to apologize and kowtow, thats not the kind of person he is. For a moment, it was painfully awkward. "Alright, keep on streaming. I just came to take a look, you did a good job at boasting, nearly had me believing it," Lu Xiaobu commented with a grin in the barrage. "Phew!" Seeing this comment, Qin Ce let out a sigh of relief. He resumed his stream: "Hehehe, whats up, who says us game broadcasters dont have big brothers, see this? Treasure map! Are you convinced or not?" But he got caught up boasting and still lost the game. Barrage of comments. "Ha ha ha, noob! Talking about treasure maps!" "You chicken, still claiming to be a net cafe war god." "Chicken, chicken..." "..." Leaving Qin Ces stream, Lu Xiaobu then visited Li Yings stream. He personally recruited these two broadcasters, so of course he needed to check in. Upon entering her stream, he heard Li Yings ethereal singing voice, bringing him a touch of relief. However, he could tell Li Yings throat sounded somewhat hoarse. This left him puzzled. But after listening for a while, he figured it out. At that moment, the difference between Qin Ce, who had been through the yingyingmonster and bamboo rat business ordeal, and Li Ying, who hadnt faced such a trial, was evident. Qin Ces mouth was full of witty banter, the barrage in his stream was wave upon wave. And this girl could hardly interact beyond singing. Someone requests a song, and she would sing, almost non-stop. With this way of singing, it was too much for anyone to handle. But perhaps it was precisely because of her desperate efforts that she managed to attract quite a few donations from viewers. "Okay, take a break, chat with everyone. Thats not how you do it as a broadcaster," Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but send a barrage message. His comment sparked responses from many fans who had been listening to Li Yings songs. "Yeah, take a break, broadcaster!" "Your voice is going hoarse, it would be a real loss if you wore yourself out." "Drink some water, rest a bit. Lets chat with everyone." "..." Seeing these comments warmed Li Yings heart: "Thank you, thank you, everyone." She started streaming with a nervous heart, unsure if she could make money to help her family. But later, she realized Young Master Bu was telling the truth; people truly appreciated her singing. Although she didnt have rich patrons dropping a fortune like some other broadcasters, the little gifts from everyone were already more than enough for her. She checked and found she had actually earned a few thousand in just a few days, which was unbelievable to her in the past. Now, every night before bed, she would feel grateful to Young Master Bu. It was Young Master Bu that gave her the chance to showcase her talent and earn money. However, she was so moved. The stream fell into silence, complete quiet without a sound. Lu Xiaobu was speechless: "This girl, I told her to rest, and she just stops doing anything at all! Really." He shook his head: "Forget it, let her figure it out herself. Its not good to try and force growth." While saying this, he, just like in Qin Ces stream, tipped two treasure maps, each worth ten thousand, impartial and unbiased. Yet, here in Li Yings stream, the treasure map that was just for fun and laughs in Qin Ces stream, caused a big stir and uproar. Chapter 115: Slinging Mud [5000 votes for extra updates] Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Slinging Mud [5000 votes for extra updates]People whove watched live streaming and game streaming should know how important gifts are. So, although Lu Xiaobu also gave two treasure maps each to Qin Ce and Li Ying, the impact was dramatically different. First, Li Yings live streaming room exploded. "Big spender! 6666!" "Participating in the big spender, our Li Ying also has a big brother now." "Big spender, do you still need any attachments to your thigh?" "Awesome, big spender! Directly pushed Li Ying into the top five." "Why not go higher? Only first place has real clout." "..." Watching the barrage in the live stream, Li Ying quickly shook her head: "No, no more, this is already a lot, thank you Ma Zhongchitu for the gifts, thank you, thank you. Thank you for such a gift!" This is ten thousand yuan were talking about. Who would give you ten thousand yuan for no reason! She was very content. Hearing Li Ying talking, the fans calmed down. But just because they stopped, doesnt mean others did! After all, a gift like the treasure map would be announced across the entire platform. Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Originally ranked fifth, now pushed to sixth, a female streamer named Qing Li was suddenly upset. She had switched over from another streaming platform. It was her own choice to switch, not poached. After all, most streamers in the current streaming world arent worth Juechen poaching. Because she brought a large number of followers, or clients, she quickly secured a spot in the top five. Now that she has been pushed down, especially by a treasure map, her jealousy flared up. "Wow, Li Ying is fifth now, with two treasure maps? Impressive! Werent you just singing and not taking gigs? What changed your mind? Good for you." Qing Lis sarcastic voice echoed across her live streaming room: "Thats more like it, really thought streaming was some high-class job? Playing a saint but still wants respect." A disgusting, jealousy-filled streamer, how could she have good viewers? Thus, her sarcastic voice immediately caused a round of laughter in the live streaming room. "Tsk tsk tsk, I thought so, I just asked this girl to take off her clothes, seeing her refusal, I thought she was some chaste martyr, seems not." "Pssh, its just youre not giving enough money, its her first stream. Look now, two treasure maps." "But, Li Ying really tugs at the heart! Especially that voice, wow, would be amazing in bed!" "Lets go check her out, see who got the baton first." "..." "Hey, what are you guys doing?" Qing Li panicked. If the big spenders in her streaming room all run off to Li Ying, what would she do? "Dont worry, were just going to take a look. Well come back. A newbie, how could she compare to your comfort?" "Yeah, haha!" "Im up tonight too, I bought the plane ticket already. Im not leaving." "..." Seeing these messages, Qing Li felt a bit relieved, but still worried. The principle of new replacing the old, she understood clearly. So... "Let me tell you guys, I actually knew this bi*ch was no good a long time ago, last time, yes, when Tian Ge was around, I saw her, how flirtatious she was! Tsk tsk tsk." Qing Li was relentlessly slinging mud at Li Ying. Whether Li Ying was a newbie or not, she didnt care. Her goal was to use influencing tactics to drive Li Ying out of Juechen. So... Li Yings streaming numbers exploded, and so did the trolling! The internet makes things convenient, but also exposes peoples dark sides, making them unbridled. Especially now when live streaming lacks civilized regulation, people are playing on the edge, non-stop raunchy jokes! "Streamer, come out to meet your clients." "Tell me, how much for one night, Im not short on money." "Yeah, especially that little mouth of yours, Ill double the offer." "Is it a treasure map? Ill give you one." "..." Li Ying was still stunned by the barrage of messages suddenly flooding into the live stream. The virtual gifts followed in a flood. "Huge Dong gifts Li Ying a treasure map." "Let You Be Ecstatic gifts Li Ying ten excavators." "Name Your Price gifts Li Ying five planes." "..." Especially a viewer called Innocent Teen. "Innocent Teen gifts Li Ying a treasure map!" "Innocent Teen gifts Li Ying a treasure map*2" "..." "Innocent Teen gifts Li Ying a treasure map*5" Sending five treasure maps in a row was utterly savage. This was the Brother Tian that Qing Li talked about, a name that sounds innocent, yet hes a true pervert! This Innocent Teen has a peculiar hobby, he likes to splurge lavish gifts and grab the unreachable female hosts into his embrace and onto the bed. That sense of conquest, for him, is even more exhilarating than venting on a woman. Innocent Teen: "How about that? Five maps enough? If not, Ill send more. Just one condition, kick out the one called Ma Zhongchitu, and come with me tonight." He loves this kind of direct confrontation. Qing Lis audience started to cheer as well. "Thats it. Now that Brother Tian has set his eyes, we only get to sip the soup." "Congratulations to Brother Tian for winning the beauty!" "Brother Tian, remember to tell us tomorrow if it was thrilling!" "What are you saying!" Li Ying finally snapped back, her pretty face flushing with anger: "I am not the kind of host you think, Ive said it before, I only sing." Innocent Teen: "Come on, stop pretending, whats the point! Is it not enough? Say, how much do you want?" "Please leave!" Li Ying trembled with anger: "You are not welcome here." The chat became even more chaotic. "Wow, Brother Tian, see? Although shes a bitch, she still has professional ethics." "Yeah, your money attack wont work." "Speaking of which, where is the tycoon who sent the treasure maps? Why has he disappeared?" "Probably ran away seeing Brother Tian has arrived." "Hahaha, at least he knows his place, knows he cant compete with Brother Tian." "Li Ying, stop beating around the bush, hurry up. While Brother Tian is in a good mood, he might still satisfy you." "..." Innocent Teen: "I love these types with ethics the most, its just that guy called Ma Zhongchitu! Come on, let him say to my face that he gives you to me, just thinking about it makes me thrilled! This feeling of conquest is damn awesome!" So! Innocent Teen changed his name. "Ma Zhongchitu come out and give a treasure map to Li Ying!" "Ma Zhongchitu come out and give a treasure map to Li Ying!" "Ma Zhongchitu come out and give a treasure map to Li Ying!" "..." Another five treasure maps, making it ten in total, fifty thousand bucks! Lu Xiaobu was hanging out in another live stream, and seeing these announcements across the platform made him laugh. Interesting. This was the first time he had seen someone challenging him in a money-spending game. To be frank, no one on the Newcomer Rich List dared to confront him directly like this. Unexpectedly, today he met one on his own streaming platform. But if he doesnt completely crush him, what kind of wastrel is he? Chapter 116 I Really am Lu Xiaobu [Extra for 6000 votes] Chapter 116: Chapter 116 I Really am Lu Xiaobu [Extra for 6000 votes]Lu Xiaobu returned to Li Yings live streaming room. Ma Zhongchitu: "Whos calling me?" Innocent Youngster: "Wow, you actually dared to come back. Well, thats perfect, this woman is mine now, just go do whatever you wanna do." When Li Ying saw that Lu Xiaobu really came back, she hurriedly said: "Ma Zhongchitu, this guy is spouting nonsense, dont listen to him, and stop donating money. And Innocent Youngster, give me your bank account number, I will return that money to you, I dont want this money." From the day she agreed to become a host, she and Young Master Bu had swornonly to be a true presenter, not to engage in those activities. Innocent Youngster arrogantly replied: "Dont want it? You think you can just say no? You took my money, you have to play by my rules, its not up to you." After saying that, he sent two treasure maps again. Then he challenged Lu Xiaobu: "Ma Zhongchitu, can you handle it? If you cant, just quietly scram, and stop crowding around here." Lu Xiaobu smirked disdainfully, then opened the gift section and started clicking rapidly. "Ma Zhongchitu sends the host a treasure map." "Ma Zhongchitu sends the host treasure map*2" "Ma Zhongchitu..." "Ma Zhongchitu sends the host a treasure map*25" "Ma Zhongchitu..." "Ma Zhongchitu sends the host a treasure map*50" "Ma Zhongchitu..." "Ma Zhongchitu sends the host a treasure map*100" In less than thirty seconds... treasure maps, 500,000! Ma Zhongchitu: "You mean this? (relaxed expression)" The entire live streaming room, no, the whole platform, fell into a dead silence. Everyone stared blankly at the continuous announcements of the 100 treasure maps. The next second... It exploded! Countless viewers frantically flooded into Li Yings live streaming room. Li Yings viewer count began to skyrocket. 10,000... 50,000... 100,000... 500,000... You should know that Juechen platforms popularity ratings are genuine without any bot numbers. In other words, this 500,000 if it were on some platform on Earth, would be 5 million, even 50 million in popularity! The barrage also exploded! "What a tycoon, a real tycoon!" "What does it mean to spend money like its nothing? This is what it means! Throwing away 500,000 just like that!" "Rewarding a female host with 500,000, this is unprecedented in the history of live streaming!" "Dont stop me, I want to worship the tycoon!" "Tycoon, I have a sweet voice, soft and easy to approach, wanna give it a try?" "I want your thighs!" "..." Many of the oldest batch of viewers also came to join the fun. Seeing it was Lu Xiaobus account, many old viewers chuckled lowly. "Young Master Bu is showing off again, playing the role of the pretending pauper. Lets not burst his bubble, to keep Young Master Bu happy." These old viewers had all played with Lu Xiaobu in his games of yingying monster and bamboo rat business, and they somewhat understood Lu Xiaobus temperament, so they didnt expose him. Of course, there were occasionally some cheeky viewers who did expose him. However, their comments were drowned out by a flood of 666 and thigh-hugging comments, and did not catch much attention. As for Li Ying, she had momentarily fallen into a daze. She looked unbelievingly at the leaderboard, at the amount of 500,000! She was very anxious inside, unable to believe it was true. 500,000! Thats 500,000! Many people cant save that in a lifetime! And now just because of a whim, it was sent to her? She felt like she was dreaming, if this were true, her familys problems could be resolved in just one day! Young Master Bu, I pray to you, let this be real! As for the Innocent Youngster, he was already dumbfounded. He stared at the computer screen at the first placeMa Zhongchitu, who was far ahead of him in second place, completely panic-stricken. It seemed he had hit a real wall. 500,000! Has that Ma Zhongchitu gone mad?! Thats 500,000! All for just one host?! Even he had to admit, damn thats a lot of money! He had been thoroughly humiliated and was completely skinless, not daring to speak anymore. He could only quietly return to Qing Lis live broadcast room, not daring to show his face again. He personally enacted his own wordssilently scram! He might as well play with Qing Li type of goods. He finally understood what a real wealthy person was. He didnt want to play anymore, but did he ask Lu Xiaobu? "That naive young guy belongs to this live broadcast room, right?" Lu Xiaobu went directly to Qing Lis live broadcast room and asked. "Divine Rich Brother!" When Qing Li saw Lu Xiaobu, her eyes lit up! Just now, she was almost exploding with jealousy seeing that 500,000 treasure map! Now, she couldnt believe that the Divine Rich actually came to visit her. She decided to use every trick she had to please this Divine Rich! As for that naive young man? Screw off to the side! "Are you the host who sets explicit prices and frames others?" Lu Xiaobu asked through the barrage. "Ah?" Qing Li was stunned. What kind of question was that? Does this Divine Rich have some special hobby? Its not surprising she would think that way, who would expect Lu Xiaobu, a company boss, to be idle and watch live broadcasts? Besides, even if she knew, she would still answer the same way. Everyone knows what live streaming is like these days, she doesnt believe this would have any consequences. So she seductively smiled and said, "Divine Rich Brother, Im not just fierce with my words, Im fiercer in bed." sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. While saying that, she even began undressing. Ma Zhongchitu: "So you admit it?" Qing Li giggled, "Of course I admit it." "Alright, from today, from now on, you dont need to live stream anymore, Juechen platform will permanently ban you." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. Upon this declaration. The entire process was dumbfounding! The barrage. "Holy shit 6666!" "Who the hell is this guy? He dares to say such things." "Even if you are a Divine Rich, you cant say these things! Do you know who Juechens boss is?" "Thats the spendthrift Lu Xiaobu, do you think 500,000 will make Juechen listen to you?" "..." Qing Li was initially dumbstruck, then she got furious! "Go to hell, who the hell do you think you are?" "Ungrateful jerk, what are you playing at!" "You think youre Lu Xiaobu?! Whats so great about having some crappy money?" "Want to play then play, dont want to then scram, why the hell are you meddling?" "And you talk about banning me? Go ahead and ban me for all I..." Qing Lis last words were cut off. Her live broadcast room went dark. The screen displayed a big lineThis broadcaster is suspected of violations, permanently banned! At this moment, a message floated in the barrage. Ma Zhongchitu: "Sorry, I really am Lu Xiaobu!" With the release of this statement. The live broadcast room exploded. "Young Master Bu, its really Young Master Bu!" "Young Master Bu is heroic!" "Young Master Bu is domineering!" "Bowing down to Young Master Bu!" "With 500,000 dropping in an instant, banning a top-ranked broadcaster, Young Master Bu is invincible!" "Awesome, majestic!" "..." That naive young man was also kissing up in the barrage: "Young Master Bu I was wrong, I deserve a beating, compared to you, Im nothing, please let me go!" However, do you all think its over? No, its not, theres still much more! Because, Lu Xiaobu has been named by the country! Chapter 117 Called Out [4th Update, Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Called Out [4th Update, Please Favorite, Please Recommend]When Lu Xiaobu splurged money, the news of wealthy patrons giving thousands to live streamers made all the major headlines. "Utterly inhumane!" "Live streaming, a rising industry is quietly taking off" "Juechen Live Platform, a gathering place for the wealthy" ... All the websites were publishing this news. For a time, Juechen Platforms popularity was unrivaled. A massive audience surged into the Juechen Live Platform at the earliest opportunity. "My God! Five hundred thousand! Thats half a million!" "This is crazy! Do streamers make that much money? Its not another stripping streamer, is it?" "No, I just checked, there are no stripping streamers on the whole platform." "I checked too, I really dont understand why such streamers get such high rewards, I need to see this for myself!" Even more streamers were crying out, eager to jump ship and enter the embrace of the godly rich patrons. "My heavens, half a million!" "Im going to start streaming, streaming!" "Dear audience friends, shall we switch platforms, what do you think?" "Do you all want to go together?" "..." You cant say journalists arent smart. Although they actually knew from the get-go that this so-called godly patron was none other than Juechen Platforms owner, Lu Xiaobu. But they just wouldnt say it. They waited until the news was at its peak of hype before they seemed to have agreed to publish another piece of news simultaneously. Of course, this had to do with Liang Lan paying and operating behind the scenes, but, this is not important, cough cough, really not important. Thus! "Mystery Revealed, the Godly Patron is Actually Lu Xiaobu" "Is the boss giving gifts to the employees, handing out benefits?" "Chinas Good Boss, get to know him" Juechen Platform once again blew up the internet. The netizens were astounded. "Damn, its Lu Xiaobu!" "6666! So badass, half a million!" "Though, Lu Xiaobu giving a half-million reward seems a bit scanty." "Exactly, exactly." "Tch, as if you guys could bring out half a million to toy with, who are you trying to impress!" "..." These two pieces of news utterly thrust Juechen Platform to the pinnacle of attention. For a time, other live streaming platforms were utterly eclipsed. Click-through rates for Juechen Live skyrocketed. Half a million... One million... Five million... Ten million... Those who didnt know about live streaming now knew. Those who didnt know about Juechen now knew. Those who always thought streamers must strip got to know a new way of streaming. Economists cried outits the wolfs coming, and Lu Xiaobu is utterly looking to revolutionize the way people entertain themselves! But, it still wasnt over. Just during the evening news, the national authorities issued a regulation. "Given the recent emergence of borderline content and aforementioned gray industries within the live broadcasting field, this is not permissible. Relevant regulations are being drafted, and thorough inspections will soon commence. However, as of now, Juechen Live is doing the best, aligning with civilized and harmonious values, which other live platforms could learn from." This time It indeed exploded! What the hell is this? The state has named names! Pointing out Juechen as a model for all live stream companies! Not going to Juechen to watch live streams? What are you waiting for?! Explosion, explosions, still explosions! The entire internet had almost no other news, just all about Juechen Platform. And the ones especially recruited by Lu Xiaobu himself, Qin Ce, and Li Ying... Particularly Li Ying who received the half-million tip from Lu Xiaobu... Was the direct target of the surge. Countless people flooded into Juechen, and their first choice was Li Ying. This made Li Ying flabbergasted with the attention, behaving all stunned and cute. This only attracted even more viewers. According to later statistics, including the rewards from Lu Xiaobu, Li Yings income astonishingly reached a million overnight. Keep in mind, this refers to income, not the amount of rewards! This is the money after the platforms cut. Thus, the first thing Li Ying did after ending her stream was to rush to a temple overnight to pray for the safety and wellbeing of her Young Master Bu. She knelt for an entire night! ... Juechen Live Company. "Hahaha, Young Master Bu is awesome!" Juechens CEO Zhang Tanghe screamed his lungs out standing in front of a window. "Young Master Bu is awesome!" The entire companys staff was also chanting this phrase. Once upon a time, just a few days ago, they looked down upon this job and the industry that had to rely on those kinds of transactions to survive. They only agreed to it reluctantly because of the money! But today, just now, everything has changed! Xiaobu had once redefined mobile phones. And today, he redefined live streaming. What? Without beauties, no one watches live streams? Get lost! Go have a look at Juechen before you say that. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What? Live streaming is just like a nightclub? Your moms selling herself at a nightclub, go check out the national news first! Thats a nationally recognized entity! They could now walk down the street with their heads held high. ... Countless economists began analyzing this planning event. They even formed a special associationThe Prodigal Research Association. Dont think the name is funny. This was personally named by Tao Aijun, who had clashed with Lu Xiaobu several times before. He said, only by adhering to the principles of a prodigal can one truly understand the person Lu Xiaobu is! And after analysis, everyone was astounded! Analyst A: "You see, from the current surface phenomena, Lu Xiaobu seems to only be engaged in a contest of wills and money with someone." "In the end, Qing Li got burned." "All of this seems so natural, perfectly fitting a prodigals code of behavior!" Analyst B: "But!" "Remember this but!" "When we analyzed further, we discovered that the Juechen platform had already set standards of no vulgarity, no eroticism, no malice, even before related regulations were issued!" "All things related to these, they rejected outright." Analyst C: "They even gave up on the common practice for emerging companies to poach experienced talent." "Instead, they chose to scout for new talents!" "This is incredible!" Analyst D: "Its as if they had the ability to predict the future. Does Lu Xiaobu have some sort of special power?" These analysts were excited about their discoveries. They all exclaimed Lu Xiaobu was a genius! A deity. However, Tao Aijun sighed as he observed the reactions of others: "Do you know why we are called The Prodigal Research Association?" Analyst A: "Isnt it to analyze from a prodigals perspective?" Tao Aijun sighed again: "Right, but, I have another meaning, which is, stop dreaming, his success cannot be replicated!" "Actually, all his standards align with the states standards!" "Take no vulgarity, no eroticism, no malice - arent these things that businesses should adhere to anyway?" "But how many have achieved this?" "Almost none!" "Yet Lu Xiaobu did!" "Why?" "Because hes not short on money! The more he squanders, the happier he is!" "Just tell me, are you convinced?" All analysts: "Uh... wait a minute, Professor Tao, let us digest this, our minds are buzzing." "Youll get used to it slowly." Tao Aijun left with an experienced look on his face. Only he knew how much blood and sweat went into his research conclusion. The most heart-wrenching part was that after he figured it all out, it was completely useless except for showing off in front of these guys! He had numerous times been so upset over this issue that he slept like a babywaking up every two hours to cry! ... However, just when everyone thought that the live streaming industry was doing great and Juechens rise was only a matter of time, what was inevitable still arrived! Chapter 118: Testicular Pain, Both Sides Hurt [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Testicular Pain, Both Sides Hurt [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Obviously, as Lu Xiaobu redefined the meaning of live streaming, a burgeoning industry is on the rise. And traditional sectors are bound to be hit hard. But for now, Lu Xiaobu couldnt care less about these things. Its worth mentioning that Lu Hongbin really didnt come home last night. Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He only returned the next morning during breakfast. He said he chatted with Lin Shu all night long. Who would believe that! In the car. "Hey, Host, youve done it, get ready to receive your reward." Its clear from the systems tone that it had received some kind of spiritual reward from a female live streamer, and it spoke with a beaming smile. "I dont want it." Lu Xiaobu quickly shook his head. What a joke. How far along am I, anyway? Delaying the reward would definitely be better. "Tch, you think I dont know what youre up to? Trying to scam me? No way!" The system sneered, "Like it or not, youre getting it." "Hey, youre going to just force it on me, or what?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed. Then... A martial arts secret manual appeared in his hand. "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu wanted to curse. "Forcing it on you, any problems with that?" The system also scoffed, "Other hosts cant wait to get their reward early on, but here you are, refusing it. Alright, Im off to watch live streams. Oh, by the way, theres this host whos pretty good, I just tipped her some using your account." "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu was speechless. What could he say when dealing with a system like this? Not only does it force rewards on you, but it also tips others with your account! "Oh, and one more thing, this secret manual requires full attribute points in order to practice it. So hold off on the lottery spending and put it all into attributes," the system added in a final reminder, popping up like a bubble. At this moment, the RV had also arrived at the school, and Lu Xiaobu stuffed the secret manual into his backpack. Arriving in the classroom. "Young Master Bu has arrived, Young Master Bu is looking even more handsome." Li Qiang immediately took the backpack, brown-nosing as he spoke. "Greetings, Young Master Bu." At the same time, the riffraff of Class Six stood up to greet him as respectfully as ever, even more so than before. But, different from usual, there were no tips today. And the one who was chirping away yesterday, that dude, he didnt show up for class today. Rumor has it he took a sick leave because a flowerpot fell from the sky and split his head open. Everyone seemed to take it lightly. Only occasionally, when they looked at Li Qiang standing next to Lu Xiaobu wearing a flattering smile, would they shiver uncontrollably. They had all witnessed that accident occur yesterday. Li Qiang, who was always the nice guy and extremely smooth, personally split that dudes head open. At that time... Holding the bloody flowerpot, Li Qiang told them: "Young Master Bu enjoys your greetings, he takes it as fun, and doesnt care whether your sentiments are genuine or fake, and here you are making a fuss!" "Young Master Bu has bestowed on you these past few days more rewards than probably even your parents salaries. Dont be so ungrateful!" "Let me tell you, from now on, I dont care if youre sincere or faking it, youd all better keep smiling for me." "If you keep acting like this, Ill keep resorting to these methods!" "The college entrance exam is not far away; none of you want to spend it in a hospital, right?" "Also, let me be clear: Young Master Bu doesnt know about todays incident, and I dont want him to find out. So keep your mouths shut! Anyone looking for revenge can come at me." This scene was etched deeply into the hearts of all the riffraff in Class Six. It was only at that moment that they realized that Lu Xiaobus money wasnt so easy to take. If they took the money and didnt do the job, Lu Xiaobu didnt need to arrange anything; there would be people to take care of them. Lu Xiaobu sat down at his desk and pulled out the so-called secret manual again. "The Green Emperor Longevity Technique" He touched his chin while looking at the name: "I remember seeing this name, just forgot which novel it was from." "But whatever, I remember I need to max out all attributes." He glanced at the spendthrift amountover twenty million. More than enough to boost attributes. He immediately converted all the spendthrift amount into attribute points, and added them all to Strength and Speed. Strength and Speed attributes maxed out! As the attribute points escalated, Lu Xiaobus body began to transform gradually. His previously scrawny figure slowly started rippling with muscle. These muscles were different from those explosive ones seen on bodybuilders on TV. His muscles were of a very symmetrical kind, yet contained absolutely explosive power. As the muscles bulked up, his skeleton also filled out. The most noticeable change was that now his clothes fit perfectly well. He had turned into the kind of hanger that looked good in anything. Instead of how it was before, when apart from tailor-made clothes, other garments hung loose on him. "Not bad at all." Lu Xiaobu stretched his arms and could clearly feel a different, more powerful sensation than before. As for how strong he was, he couldnt be bothered to test it. Had it not been for wanting to see just how amazing the Green Emperor Longevity Technique was, he wouldnt have cared to boost these two attributes. After all, being a prodigal son, you think hes meant for physical labor? That would be insane! He rubbed his hands and solemnly flipped open the first page. Then... "No reading extracurricular books during class, Im confiscating this." A hand reached over and took his Green Emperor Longevity Technique away! Lu Xiaobu was dumbstruck! Confiscated? Actually confiscated?! What the hell is this? My Secret Martial Arts Manual got confiscated?! Who in the All Realm has ever had their Secret Martial Arts Manual taken away by a teacher as a novel? Show yourself to me! "No, this isnt an extracurricular book." Lu Xiaobu hastened to explain. Actually, if it were any other teacher who confiscated it, it wouldnt be a big deal; he had plenty of ways to get it back. Of course, no other teacher would dare take his things. But of all teachers, this one was Lin Shu, his sister-in-law! In the Lu Family that currently had no mistress... As his sister-in-law, Lin Shu was like a mother-figure! What could he do? "Still saying its not? Green Emperor Longevity Technique, must be a new novel written for you by the author of Little Dark Room, huh?" Lin Shu wrinkled her nose and said: "Doesnt matter, Im taking it. College entrance exams are imminent, I know you dont care about studying, but you still need to learn. Ill give it back to you during the break." "I..." Lu Xiaobu wanted to die! Why did he have to be so bloody frustrating! The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Secret Martial Arts Manual confiscated by a teacher, these two phrases together, why did they have to be so bloody frustrating? "System, come out, shouldnt the Secret Martial Arts Manual be something only I can see? What is this crap about getting it confiscated?" Lu Xiaobu asked indignantly. "Who asked you to try and trick me without offering a reward? I could only give you a tangible thing," the system shamelessly said: "Dont come to me! The item has been given to you, securing it is your own problem." Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to argue anymore, he brushed his chin and squinted his eyes. Even though youre my sister-in-law and mean well. That doesnt mean you can control me. I really dont like being bossed around. Chapter 119: Thorough Conquest [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Thorough Conquest [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu sat in his seat, frowning and feeling somewhat irritated. If it were any other teacher, he had a hundred ways to retrieve it. But facing his sister-in-law made it quite uncomfortable. It seems theres only one way, complete conquest. Dont think crooked. What he meant was, just like initially with Wu Qianmin, she thought he was wasteful in every aspect... But when his actions reached a whole new level... Wu Qianmin stopping him from wasting money? Now she cant wait to squander along with him! "How about this, sister-in-law, you set a condition. Of course, not something about money, but rather, what must I do for you to give it back to me?" Lu Xiaobu took a deep breath and said. This was all he could do. To be honest, he knew that Lin Shus personality was hard for him to deal with, but she was a good match for the Lu Family. He believed she would be of great help to the Lu Family. However, that doesnt mean she can control him like this. "Uh..." Lin Shu was taken aback by his words. She suddenly remembered what Hong Bin said to her last nightthis little brother of his is magical, like a lazy lion that wont bother you as long as you dont provoke him, he will even act cute around you! But! Once you touch what he cares about most, he turns into Taotie, roaring mountains and forests are nothing to him. Even his own brother hasnt fully understood Lu Xiaobu! Truthfully, after listening to that, she was skeptical. Although Lu Xiaobu was indeed different from the average student, wasnt that a bit of an exaggeration? Since she had the opportunity today, she wanted to see for herself. "Alright, theres a mock test today. If you can pass all the subjects, Ill give you your stuff," Lin Shu contemplated and then said. "Okay, I can do that. Hand me the test paper," Lu Xiaobu nodded. Then, calming his heart, he spoke to the system, "Quick, I helped you out before, now you help me handle my grades." "Fine, itll cost three million wasteful points," the system pondered and replied. "No problem, I still have over three million left anyway, you can take it all," Lu Xiaobu agreed. In his mind, he felt it should be used to draw a prize and get some skill or something. However... When the system took away the wasteful points. The system said, "Alright, go do the test; Ill tell you the answers!" "Uh...so I got scammed just like that, didnt I." Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched, "Your mother sells... Why the hell did you ask for three million if you could do it?" "When you had me run the livestream, didnt you also ask for my payment?" the system retorted. "Fine, fine," Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "Can you handle it?" "Are you kidding? I am the system! Going to other worlds to find stuff is a piece of cake, let alone finding the right answers for a test, its too easy!" the system confidently declared. ... Lin Shu brought over the test paper. It was a math paper! She sat beside and watched Lu Xiaobu take the test. She hadnt seen this set of papers either and needed to check it out. So... The first question. It was quite simple. Lin Shu glanced at it and had the answer. It took her three seconds to calculate the correct answer. Then, as she looked down... Lu Xiaobu had already written the answer. It was completely correct. "Hiss!" Lin Shu gasped in surprise. Keep in mind it took her three seconds. But as she finished calculating, Lu Xiaobu had already written it down. What did this imply? Lu Xiaobu was at least a second faster than her! She couldnt help but nod to herself. It looked like Xiaobus fundamental skills were quite solid. Then... "Hiss!" Lin Shu gasped in surprise again. Because, while she was still in shock, Lu Xiaobu had already finished the multiple-choice questions of the first big question! This was practically cheating! How could somebody write down all the answers in just about five seconds? Under normal circumstances, aside from guessing, there isnt any other way, right? After all, even if youre copying, theres still time to look back. But! The most terrifying thing is that she casually looked at two questions and actually got them all right! If shes randomly picking questions. That is to say, Lu Xiaobus probability of getting all the multiple-choice questions right is over 80%! How is this possible?!! And while she was checking those two questions, Lu Xiaobu had already finished the second big question. Lin Shus breathing quickened! Correct, correct, and correct again! Every single one is correct! Shes randomly checking answers to the questions, and every single one is correct. And! The speed at which she checks the answers cant even keep up with the speed at which Lu Xiaobu writes them! Swoosh Lu Xiaobu turned the page! Hed already finished all the questions on the front! But Lin Shus heart was nearly stopping! What kind of terrifying speed is this, what kind of terrifying accuracy? In Lin Shus continued astonishment. The math test was done. Lu Xiaobu had started working on the language test. Lin Shu took the math test on the side and started to review it! The result, just as unimaginably correct as she had thought! All correct! Not a single mistake, each an absolutely standard answer! That is to say! Perfect score! And Lu Xiaobu, who was currently writing the language test, was getting a bit impatient! After all, math is all numbers; just blurt out an ABCD or 1234 and youre done writing. But language is different, he has to write it slowly, one character at a time. To alleviate his mood. So! He pulled out his phone and started watching a livestream. Watching the livestream in his left hand, his right hand kept writing the answers provided by the system nonstop! He even had free time to send a comment or two. Lin Shu on the side was already dumbfounded! My god, what kind of move is this? Ive seen plenty of those who type without looking at the keyboard, but writing answers without looking at the questions is definitely a first for me! Whats more terrifying is that the answers are still all correct! "Ha, what a clown! Heres a treasure map for you!" Lu Xiaobu, seeing a slick move from the streamer, laughed joyfully. And he tipped a "treasure map". This was a new streamer, with a very comedic style. He continued to write answers while watching the livestream. Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When he got to a reading comprehension questionWhat are your thoughts on this short essay? "Hahaha, what a clown!" The system suddenly burst out laughing and said that. Then... Lu Xiaobu wrote in the thoughts sectionHahaha, what a clown! A second later... Looking at this Hahaha, what a clown! for thoughts, Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched: "System, come on, explain this answer to me. Even if Im not looking at the question, I damn well know that there isnt a single answer like this in the whole world, right?" "Err... *cough cough cough*, Host, just now I was getting carried away watching that clowns livestream, I didnt mean to make you write this answer." The system awkwardly explained. "Oh? You took a wasteful amount of three million from this young master and still dare to sneak in a livestream session? Deduct the money!" Lu Xiaobu said with glaring eyes. "*Cough cough*, it was an accident! An accident!" The system, extremely embarrassed, quickly said: "Continue, continue, the answer to the next question is..." Meanwhile, Lin Shu had gone mad! Is this still human? I give in to you for being fast at math! But this is language, its not just about being fast, is it? But why are your answers still all correct!? The words mentioned by Lu Hongbin yesterday once again crossed her mind! Chapter 120 Mount Lu Ascending Dragon Tyrant【7000 Votes Plus】 Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Mount Lu Ascending Dragon Tyrant7000 Votes PlusMath, Chinese, English, Integrated Science, several exams in a row... Under Lin Shus horrified gaze, Lu Xiaobu answered them flawlessly at the fastest speed, with the standard answers word for word. Yes, its just that sometimes, this damn system is too easily engrossed in live streaming. And then it gives some bizarre answers! For example. This question. Place two normally growing plants, A and B, in the same sealed room and expose them to light under suitable conditions for cultivation. After cultivation, it is found that the photosynthetic rate of both plants is reduced. The reason is___________. Answer: The livestreamer is wearing too much. Lu Xiaobu System, what the hell, the decrease in photosynthetic rate is because the livestreamer is wearing too much? What? They need external stimulation? To speed up blood flow? Are they also supposed to have nosebleeds?! And for another example. The chemical name of A is __________. Answer: Noob! Lu Xiaobu Erm... System, come out, lets have a fight. Come on! Or for instance. Semi-prompt essay, the teacher _________ Answer: Teacher is whining! Lu Xiaobu Whining my ass off, are you sure that if you write this, the teacher marking the paper wont give you a Lushan Rising Dragon Overlord beating? However, no matter what, Lu Xiaobu still stutteringly finished writing all the questions! Lin Shu is completely dumbfounded! The way she looks at the exam paper, her whole persona is in a daze! Not just her, the students of Class Six are also going crazy! "Damn, Young Master Bu, youre too awesome!" "We agreed to be academic dregs together, but you secretly became the king!" "Not fair, being rich is one thing, but also handsome! And not only handsome but with out-of-the-world grades!?" "Young Master Bu, are you leaving us any way to live?" "Young Master Bu, give us a way to survive!" "People say those without money can only rely on knowledge, but the rich have even higher knowledge than you, so tell me, do you want to cry? Let me cry as a tribute first!" "..." Zhou Jingyuan was dumbfounded: "Xiaobu?! Are you still Xiaobu? The Lu Xiaobu who does nothing but sleep and read novels all day?! Did you use a hack?!" "Cough cough cough, well, not really. The main issue is that there werent enough questions on the test, they could have easily added twice as many!" Lu Xiaobu carelessly waved his hand. The entire Class Six: "I..." You still want to double it? Double the amount? How many people have been blocked by the college entrance exam? And you want to increase it? We dont play that way! Can we even be proper slaves to you anymore? You really want us to treat you like a god, huh! Lu Xiaobu looked at the students with dense black lines on their foreheads! His heart was bursting with joy, haha, this act is so rejuvenating! He finally understood the mindset of those top students, who seem to have nearly perfect scores and yet cry and snivel as if they have failed miserably! Turns out they were all just pretending! Hahaha, exhilarating! He looked on happily as Lin Shus hand, finished marking the papers, trembled uncontrollably. He stretched out his hand. Everything was left unsaid. Lin Shu swallowed and, with trembling hands, handed over the "Green Emperor Longevity Technique" to Lu Xiaobu. At this moment, she finally understood. Why Hong Bin, who didnt fully understand his little brother, would say such things. Dont bother with Xiaobus actions, because you cant handle it. If you insist on intervening, youll only end up on your knees, no other choice. Just like her now! She felt her legs go weak, she needed to go back and rest! ... Lu Xiaobu, amidst the adoring gazes of everyone, casually picked up the "Green Emperor Longevity Technique" and started reading it. Ah, this feeling of being invincible in the world, its truly lonely. System: "..., does this mean that next time, you can take the test on your own?" "?": Lu Xiaobu was taken aback: "What do you mean?" "Its nothing, just that I was indeed a bit distracted today. I thought if things didnt go well, I would help you out during the college entrance exam. But it seems that wont be necessary." The system sighed and said. "Come on, what are we to each other! Out with it, which streamer have you got your eye on this time? How much do you want to tip?" Lu Xiaobu immediately said with righteous indignation. "No need, just deposit some money into your account, and Ill tip them myself! Your account is out of money." The system promptly seized the moment. Lu Xiaobu: "..." Fuck, I knew it! After depositing one million into his account. The system finally contentedly went off to watch a livestream. And so, Lu Xiaobu finally got to give his full attention to the awesome "Green Emperor Longevity Technique." Since Xiaobu was full of familiarity with it, he found it quite easy to get a handle on. Soon, before school ended. Lu Xiaobu had reached the first level, with a trace of True Qi in his body, and he also learned an attached little skill. It allowed him to make flowers that shouldnt bloom, bloom with this wisp of True Qi. According to the book, this is called injecting vitality. He didnt quite understand what it meant, but it seemed similar to infusing the soul! "Hahaha, awesome." Lu Xiaobu laughed joyfully and then tossed the book to Li Qiang to take care of it. Later, he would see who among people like Zhang Meng was suitable and let them practice it. What? You say to keep practicing further down? What a joke! Hes not going to practice. Having this little skill to show off and pick up girls is all that matters. As for the hard work of practicing Kung Fu, thats for people like Zhang Meng and Li Jin to handle. Wait for a while, save up a big amount, and let the system draw a life-saving treasure for him. If someone really comes looking for trouble, hell just activate his protective shield, squat inside munching melon seeds, and direct Zhang Meng and the rest to fight! ... And today, the Newcomer Rich List has been updated again! The reason for the update was still due to Lu Xiaobu. This is the first time in the history of the Newcomer Rich List that its been updated so many times because of one person! This time, without exception, Lu Xiaobu ousted Shi Jinhao from the original first place and climbed to the top spot of the Newcomer Rich List! Once the ranking came out, everyone was both shocked and felt it made sense. "Wow, as expected, Young Master Bu really made it to the top of the Newcomer Rich List." S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yeah, I saw the national announcement yesterday, and I knew that the first place was in the bag!" "Man, comparing people can really kill you!" "Actually, there are two people I really want to interview right now!" "Who?" "One is Shi Jinhao, the other is Liu Changlong!" "Pfft, hahahaha! Youre rubbing salt in their wounds!" "Yeah, I bet Shi Jinhao would say: Fuck, how long did it take me? How much effort did I pour in? To finally get to first place? And then? Damn it!" "Liu Changlong would say: Im moving away from Shimen! Damn it!" "Hahaha, those two guys are just too miserable!" "But, seems like youre a bit late, besides the banquets when a newcomer joins the Newcomer Rich List, isnt there also a banquet every time theres a change at the top of the list?" "Uh... suddenly, I feel like Liu Changlong and Shi Jinhao are going to have stomach aches! Hahahaha!" "I feel the same way!" "..." Indeed, just as they said, every time there is a change at the top of the Newcomer Rich List, a banquet is also customary. And this is the first time in the history of the Newcomer Rich List that two parties are held consecutively all because of the same person! Just wondering what kind of reactions Liu Changlong, who was peed on by some dumbass, and Shi Jinhao, who became a dog, will have when they show up! You should know attendance at this gathering is compulsory! So much to look forward to, amirite?! Chapter 121 Put on a Show [Seeking Collections, Seeking Recommendations] Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Put on a Show [Seeking Collections, Seeking Recommendations]When Liang Lan told Lu Xiaobu about the need for a dinner party... Lu Xiaobu was having Zhang Meng, Li Jin, and Li Qiang take turns to test who was suitable for cultivating the "Green Emperor Longevity Technique." It turned out that Li Jin was the most suitable. One reason was that he had eaten an Immortal Bean before, which healed his internal injuries. Another was that, having been a Special Soldier, his body was stronger than ordinary people, so he was relatively more suitable for cultivation. However, Li Jins expression was quite pained: "Uh... Young Master, do I really need to practice this?" Zhang Meng also had a slight smirk: "If the Young Master tells you to practice, just practice. Why all the fuss?" He didnt believe in it either; he thought it was just something the Young Master took out for fun. Li Jin cried out, "Instructor, you just know how to set me up, right?" "What? You all dont believe it?" Lu Xiaobu retorted. "Cultivation, man, isnt this only found in novels?" Li Jin spoke with some difficulty: "Its not that I dont believe the Young Master, its just that, you know!" "Hey... look over here." Lu Xiaobus eyes twinkledit was time to show off! He picked up a withered branch from the ground that seemed to have been broken off by someone. "Watch me inject spirit... no, inject vitality." Lu Xiaobu mobilized the little bit of True Qi in his body and injected it into the branch. The branch, originally withered, as if injected with a stimulant, surprisingly started to rejuvenate. The branch turned green, and even flower buds began to appear. Finally! It blossomed! This scene shocked everyone! They were all dumbfounded! "Hisss! Its actually real! Young Master, how did you do this? This cant be explained by science anymore!" Zhang Meng, usually unflappable, finally swallowed his disbelief and stretched out his hand to touch the flower that had just bloomed before his eyes. "This... this... this, turning a withered branch into a blooming one in such a short time? Is this a miracle? Oh my goodness!" Liang Lans legs were a bit weak, and she leaned on the car to support her body from falling. Wu Qianmin, this little girl, had already had a brain freeze; although she looked in better condition than Liang Lan without weak legs, she was actually speechless. Li Qiang couldnt believe what he was seeinghad he just been holding a real Cultivation Technique?! My heavens! "Young Master, are you saying that if I practice this, I can do this too?" Li Jin looked at the branch and then at the "Green Emperor Longevity Technique" in his hands, swallowing his saliva. "Yes, indeed, this is just the lowest level of application. There are much more advanced techniques you will learn as you practice," Lu Xiaobu nodded and said. "Hisss!" Before Li Jin could react, Zhang Meng suddenly came to his senses, speaking eagerly: "Young Master, actually, I think I can give it another try! Li Jins physical condition isnt as good as mine." Previously, Zhang Meng thought Lu Xiaobu was just joking, but after witnessing this scene... His martial arts soul began to blaze fervently! From the past at the Night Drunkenness Bar where they used to tinker with ancient taverns with Lu Xiaobu, it was clear he always longed for such things. Now that it was within reach, he had just given up! He was filled with regret! "Dont even think about it! This is mine!" Li Jin immediately retorted stiffly: "This is given to me by the Young Master, none of you can snatch it!" Zhang Meng gritted his teeth, full of resentment! "Alright, this isnt suitable for you, let Li Jin have it! Ill get something else for you guys later." Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Zhang Meng and Li Qiang, you will both have your opportunity." "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng sighed helplessly, glancing at a smug Li Jin and grinding his teeth: "You kid better train hard and protect the Young Master diligently. If you dont show some results, watch out, I will punch you myself!" "Yes!" Li Jin quickly saluted! Yet in Li Qiangs eyes burst forth a divine light: "Young Master, do I also have... have... have?" It was unbelievable to him; hes merely a bootlicker... uh, not even qualified to be called a bootlicker. After all, a character like Brother Zhang Meng is a true bootlicker; hes nothing! But now the Young Master says he also has it! This was so exciting it almost knocked him out! Young Master Bu, as long as you still want me, I am your loyal dog! "Stay loyal, since the Young Master said you have it, you will have everything that youre supposed to have, you did well yesterday!" Zhang Meng patted Li Qiangs shoulder: "From tomorrow, youll train with me, so when the Young Master gives you something, youd be able to use it!" "Yes!" Li Qiang shouted loudly, "I will loyally serve the Young Master to the death! Ill train fiercely!" Just like that, the previous crowd who resisted the Green Emperor Longevity Technique are now all envious because of Lu Xiaobus showing off. Among these people, only Zhou Jingyuan, the fiery hot pepper, looked at Lu Xiaobu and then at the Green Emperor Longevity Technique, muttering to herself, "Xiaobu, you actually have such a thing! And youre even willing to let others cultivate it! What should I say about you?" "What do you mean? You know about this stuff?" Lu Xiaobu asked back. "I know, actually, in our world..." Zhou Jingyuan steadied her emotions, cleared her throat, and prepared to explain. She still felt somewhat smug. Lu Xiaobu, you still have to rely on me to explain to you? What are you going to do without me! Now you know how important I am! And then... "Oh, forget it, its not my concern." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, then turned to Liang Lan and said, "Sister Lan, its about holding the banquet, right?" "I!" Zhou Jingyuan almost spit blood a distance of three kilometers. She felt like rushing up to give Lu Xiaobu a piece of her mind. "Damn it, youre doing this on purpose, arent you? Ive already stripped down, and youre playing this game? Is a mere banquet more important than this matter? At this moment, the usually calm Zhou Jingyuan, had the most resentment among these people! Liang Lan took a deep breath, another deep breath, and yet another deep breath, forcing her emotions to calm down: "Yes, Young Master, this is a banquet to celebrate your reaching the top spot on the Newcomer Rich List, you will host and decide the theme!" Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hey, these people really, always holding banquets, dont they do real work?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Uh..." Liang Lan shook her head with a wry smile. Young Master, do you think they want to? Its you who ascended too fast! Normally its just once a year, but now its been held twice this year. Plus, one time was because you joined the Newcomer Rich List, and the other was because you became the top one. Wonder how many people are going to be pissed this time! "Do you think they will come? A lot of people really hate me," Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and said. "Young Master, this time is different from the last, its compulsory, precisely to showcase the power of being number one on the Newcomer Rich List. If someone doesnt come, they will be removed from the Newcomer Rich List!" Liang Lan seriously replied. "Thats acceptable." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, then suddenly smiled: "The theme of this banquet will be decided by me, right?" "Yes." Liang Lan felt something ominous. It seems that Young Master is going to come up with some weird ideas again! Chapter 122: Dog-Loving Theme Party! [Please favorite, please recommend] Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Dog-Loving Theme Party! [Please favorite, please recommend]"Young Master, what kind of themed party would you like to host?" Liang Lan asked. "A dog-loving theme, each person must bring at least one dog." Lu Xiaobu said with a mischievous smile. "Uh..." Liang Lan was initially stunned, then burst out laughing, "Young Master, youre really planning to give them a dose of their own medicine!" "Xiaobu, youre too wicked!" Zhou Jingyuan laughed heartily, "Last time you had them so messed up, especially Liu Changlong and Shi Jinhao, one got peed on by a dumbass and the other ended up barking like a dog, and now youre organizing a dog-loving theme, theyre going to go crazy!" "Young Master, Ill relay your request right away, is this Saturday okay?" Liang Lan asked, holding back her laughter. "Okay." Lu Xiaobu nodded. ... Shi Family. "Bang!" Shi Jinhao, looking at the ranking list in front of him, furiously smashed his cup onto the ground. His eyes were filled with Blood Silk, "Lu Xiaobu! Lu Xiaobu! Its you again! Just when Id settled the price on that project, you come to loot a burning house?! Fuck your grandpa!" The last time, he didnt hesitate to turn into a dog, spending a billion to get that Immortal Bean from Lu Xiaobu. Afterward, he presented the Immortal Bean to a big shot to help the big shot recover his health. Because of this Immortal Bean, that big shot promised to lower the bid price on an upcoming project by 30%! But for fairness, the project couldnt be directly given to him, only promised to the person on top of the Newcomer Rich List! Which really was him! What does 30% mean? It means even if he doesnt develop anything, just by reselling it, he would make at least three billion in cash! With these three billion in cash, he could not only pay off his debts but also use this money to make a huge profit! But! But! The bidding was coming up! The fuck? Lu Xiaobu is now in first place?! He got squeezed out? All his efforts now benefit Lu Xiaobu?! Giving Lu Xiaobu three billion for free!? How the fuck is he supposed to accept this?! Shi Jinhao took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, picked up his phone, and carefully dialed that big shots number. "Hello." A superior, old voice came through. "Its Lin, Im Shi Jinhao, little Shi!" Shi Jinhaos face had a flattering smile. "I know, speak," Lin said, clearly impatient. "Its about the Newcomer Rich List changing again, Im not first anymore, could you perhaps?" Shi Jinhao tentatively asked. "Rules are rules, dont you understand that? Decisions once made, even I cant change them arbitrarily!" Lins voice grew visibly impatient, "Not being first is your problem, not mine!" "Then how about this!" Shi Jinhao bit his teeth, plucking up his courage, "Lin, you also know how I got that Immortal Pill, I boldly ask you one last favor, to make Lu Xiaobu step down from the Newcomer Rich List!" Silence fell on the other side of the line. Sweat streamed down Shi Jinhaos forehead. He knew he had overstepped, and might have angered this person. And with just one word from him, he could be completely ruined, left with nothing! Right now, he was gambling, betting that the other party would help him. "Alright. I will send someone during the party." Lin finally said, "But this is the last time, all favors regarding that Elixir are now settled. If you bring this matter up again, you know the consequences." "Yes, yes! Thank you, Lin! Thank you, Lin!" Shi Jinhao nodded frantically with joy. Even though Lin had already hung up the phone, he kept on thanking him! It showed just how much he revered Lin! Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then, he sat down on the ground and burst into maniacal laughter: "Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu, you didnt expect this! I won the bet! You lost! What does being first mean now?!" "As soon as that person speaks up, wont you obediently drop out of the Newcomer Rich List?! Hahaha! Itll be mine, ultimately mine, no one can snatch it away! Hahaha!" "Not only that, once you drop out of the Newcomer Rich List, without that title to protect you, how long do you think you can survive?!" Ah, he was laughing wildly. A message arrived. "Newcomer List No.1Lu Xiaobu, has set the theme for the banquet: Dog Lovers Theme. Please each member bring at least one dog!" "Smack!" This message, like a slap, ferociously hit Shi Jinhaos face. His wild laughter instantly froze, his entire face turned green! "Lu Xiaobu, damn your mom! Youre doing this on purpose, dog lovers? Who the hell are you calling a dog?! Go to hell!" Shi Jinhao crazily started smashing everything he could see! Dog lovers? Dog lovers theme?! Isnt this just a reminder that he once turned into a dog! Lu Xiaobu! Lu Xiaobu! Im going to kill you! ... Liu Family. "Changlong, whats wrong?!" Liu Changlongs father, Liu He, asked worriedly. "Dad, can I drop out of the Newcomer Rich List? I dont want to go to this party!" Liu Changlongs face was turning a sickly green. His stomach was churning, ready to vomit at any time! Dog lovers banquet? Now when he sees a dog, he can smell a stinking piss odor, dog lovers my ass! Lu Xiaobu, youre definitely doing this on purpose! "Fooling around! Is the Newcomer Rich List something you can just quit?! Even if its raining knives from the sky, you have to go!" Liu Hes face suddenly became stern! "Wuu!" Liu Changlong thought about the scene at the party, full of dogs, he almost couldnt hold it in and vomited on the spot! Seeing this, Liu He sighed with relief, a look of pity flashed in his eyes: "I know what happened to you last time, and you were wronged. But if you give up the title from the Newcomer Rich List because of these things, do you think its worth it?!" "But, but!" Liu Changlongs eyes were full of grievances. He really didnt want to go. "Go on, endure it. I just got a call from Shi Jinhao, he said he has managed to invite Mr. Lin this time! This time we will definitely take down Lu Xiaobu! As long as Lu Xiaobu loses the title of the Newcomer Rich List, here in Shimen, its not his turn to be arrogant!" Liu He squinted his eyes, emitting a murderous aura. "Yes, father!" Liu Changlong clenched his teeth and agreed! He still believed his fathers words. If they can take down Lu Xiaobu this time, then he must go no matter how uncomfortable it is! He wanted to witness it all. And at this moment. "Young Master Liu, do you think bringing this dog to attend the banquet would be okay?" Liu Hes secretary walked in holding a Teddy dog, asking. "Wow!" The moment Liu Changlong saw the dog, he couldnt hold back, vomiting uncontrollably! The entire office filled with a nauseating smell. ... Just like that. One used to be first on the Newcomer List, the other the last, both usually such high-profile figures. But now, just because of Lu Xiaobus Dog Lovers Theme, almost turned them into neurotics. If the outside world knew about this, they would probably be shocked speechless! However, theyre both in this state now upon receiving the message, imagine what would happen on the actual day, tsk tsk... Looks like theyre going to be driven to death by Lu Xiaobu! Chapter 123: I’ve Paid the Bill [Extra - for 8000 Recommendation Tickets] Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Ive Paid the Bill [Extra Chapter for 8000 Recommendation Tickets]Time flew to Saturday, the day the banquet began. Actually, in Shimen First Middle Schools senior year, Saturdays are for review, without rest. But what does that have to do with Lu Xiaobu? "Young Master, the banquet preparations are complete." Liang Lan reported, "The banquet is set in the five-star Emperor Hotel, the food is all prepared by Michelin three-star chefs, and we have all kinds of drinks from Moutai to Lafite. Young Master, do you see if anything is missing?" After all, this gathering is hosted by the Young Master, and all the attendees are from the Newcomer Rich List, we cant afford to lose face; otherwise, its easy to become a laughingstock. So, the current cost is estimated to be around five million. "Hm? Add a barbecue skewer stall, I want two skewers of grilled kidney, and some bottles of ice-cold beer." Lu Xiaobu touched his chin as he said. "Uh..." Liang Lan was devastated! Grilled kidneys? Ice-cold beer? In a five-star hotel? Is this high-class enough? Young Master, do these terms even go together? But there was no choice, since the Young Master had spoken, she could only go about it with a conflicted face. Perhaps the Young Master had other uses for it! ... Lu Xiaobu and his dumbass dog arrived at the party. Many people were already there. Everyone brought small pet dogs, which satisfied Lu Xiaobus requirements while maintaining grace and elegance. But as soon as the dumbass dog arrived, the hierarchy was immediately clear. Some restless waiters began to whisper in the corners. "Why did Young Master Bu bring a mutt?" "Yeah, isnt that a loss of face?" "Hey, even though Young Master Bu organized the banquet, its turned out like this, feels a bit embarrassing." "Hopefully they wont ridicule Young Master Bu." "..." However, what shocked them took place The dumbass dog, though it looked unsophisticated, was absolutely domineering! This dominance wasnt just among the dogs. But rather among the wealthy newcomers of the Newcomer Rich List. Whichever newcomer the dumbass dog approached would immediately turn their head and walk away, without a moments hesitation. They didnt dare to interact with the dumbass dog at all. Sometimes, when the dumbass was having too much fun, it would chase after a certain rich person, scaring them into fleeing all over the banquet! It was total chaos! The waiters were stupefied! "Is this a joke?!" "A mutt chasing after the rich?!" "Dogs are this badass these days?" "Probably not that the dog is badass, but Young Master Bu is, I guess." "..." The waiters chatter wasnt heard by the affluent. Of course, the waiters didnt dare let them hear. sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The rich folks thought it was simplethis dog was not to be messed with. They had witnessed with their own eyes this dog peeing on Liu Changlongs face. And up until now, the dog is still doing fine, what does that tell you? Even the nearby Liu Changlong couldnt lay a finger on the dog. So, better for them to stay as far away as possible! To save themselves trouble. Finally! The supporting characters of todays banquet made their appearance. Liu Changlong and Shi Jinhao! These two arrived together. Their expressions were odd, half anger and humiliation, the other half excitement. "Look whos here!" Lu Xiaobu sat on a chair, drinking beer and eating grilled kidneys as he spoke. "You!" These two, already at loggerheads with Lu Xiaobu, blew up in an instant, "Lu Xiaobu, arent you too much? Eating such low-grade food at such an event, are you despising someone?!" "You two are sick," scoffed Lu Xiaobu, "This is my banquet, Im the host, what does it have anything to do with you what I eat?" The two were momentarily stumped and swallowed the snub, saying nothing more. They exchanged glances, both grinding their teeth in secretwait a bit, and you, Lu Xiaobu, will face the consequences. "Young Master, would you like to say anything?" Liang Lan spoke up. "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu took the microphone, pondered for a moment, "Eat what you want to eat, drink what you want to drink, Ive already paid the bill, you guys chat, Im leaving." Having said that, Lu Xiaobu was ready to get up to leave. "Snort!" A group of wealthy individuals nearly exploded in anger! Son of a bitch! Eat what you want to eat? Drink what you want to drink? What the hell do you think this is? Paying a birthday visit with a cash gift? And youve already paid the bill? Are you implying that we flew here just to freeload your food and drinks? Do we look like were that desperate? "Young Master, Young Master." Liang Lan hurried to stop him, saying with a wry smile, "Youre the main character of the banquet! You cant leave! If you leave, what does that make this?" Before, she thought the Young Master must have had a foolproof plan for suggesting a dog-themed party! Now its clear that the Young Master was just plotting to make Liu Changlong and Shi Jinhao jealous! Seeing the pitiful look on Shi Jinhao and Liu Changlongs faces, the Young Master is already happy! As for the banquet itself, the Young Master doesnt care at all! "Really cant leave?" asked Lu Xiaobu. "Really cant leave!" Liang Lan said earnestly, almost pleadingly. Zhou Jingyuan also chimed in: "You cant leave, Xiaobu, if you leave, the whole banquet will become a joke." "Alright then," Lu Xiaobu shrugged, resignedly replied, "Ill stay a little longer." "Phew!" Liang Lan breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly went to make arrangements. She had given up on the Young Master. The wealthy folks also breathed a sigh of relief. If Lu Xiaobu had really just walked out like that, although the biggest joke would be on Lu Xiaobu, they couldnt escape unscathed either. With Liang Lan orchestrating, the banquet finally started properly. Everyone returned to normal, using the opportunity to talk business and seek partnerships. It looked no different from the usual social gatherings they attended. The only difference was the persistent smell of grilled kidneys in their noses. That feeling was super annoying. Qi Fei and the eighth-ranked individual on the Newcomer Rich List were discussing a business deal around thirty million... The scent of grilled kidneys wafted over... Instantaneously... Both felt like they had ended up at a street food stall... And immediately lost all desire to talk business! What the hell! Whats this situation?! I ask you, could you discuss a thirty million deal while eating skewers and drinking beer at a street food stall? Thats not doing business, thats bullshitting! "Hasnt he arrived yet?" Liu Changlong sat in a corner, his body feeling a little on edge. If it wasnt for the tranquilizer he had taken earlier, he probably would have thrown up by now in a room full of dogs. "It should be soon." Shi Jinhao was also a bit anxious. Although Mr. Lin said he would send someone, he hadnt given a specific time. He wasnt in a position to ask for an exact time either. Normally, it wouldnt matter, but seeing Lu Xiaobu acting that way, it felt like the banquet could end at any moment. Even if the banquet ended, he could still clean up Lu Xiaobu. However, if he couldnt publicly humiliate Lu Xiaobu in front of everyone, how could he feel satisfied? ... Finally! "Here he comes!" Shi Jinhaos eyes suddenly lit up, looking toward the door! Liu Changlong also stood up at once. The time to deal with Lu Xiaobu had finally come! And at this moment... The sneaky dumbass quietly approached Liu Changlongs leg... Lifted his hind leg... Exposed his ding-dong... Hsss... Chapter 124: Before the suppression began, the counterattack came [Extra - for 9000 votes] Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Before the suppression began, the counterattack came [Extra Chapter for 9000 votes]Liu Changlong was excitedly looking towards the entrance. Suddenly, he felt a wet warmth on his leg... And then... A pee smell that was all too familiar, one that he could always smell in his nightmares, hit his nostrils! Instantly! The medicine he had taken before was rendered useless! Plus, this banquet hall was filled with dogs! Under this double assault! So! "Wow!" Liu Changlong didnt have time to cover his mouth before he spewed it all out. And... Opposite him... Was Shi Jinhao! Shi Jinhao was also watching the doorway. "Guak!" Something, he didnt know what, slapped onto his face! Then... An utterly nauseating stench instantly invaded his sense of smell! "Wow!" Bingo, this one puked too! At this moment, the difference in quality between the two men was apparent. Although Shi Jinhao also sprayed some onto Liu Changlongs body, at the very least, he had the subconscious reflex to duck his head. So, Liu Changlongs pants just got wet! But Liu Changlong had no such reaction to duck... So! Shi Jinhaos face was not only covered, but the back of his head was smeared too! His whole head looked like it had just been dug out from a pile of manure! Hiss! It was a horrific sight! The entire banquet hall exploded into chaos! "Holy shit! Thats freaking disgusting!" "Have these two gone mad? Playing this kind of game?" "Are they sick? I have to go to the restroom!" "Wait for me, Im going too!" "Its damn smelly!" "..." In just an instant, the hall had cleared out! And there was Lu Xiaobu, holding the prime culprit dumbass, purposely walking past these two with a disgusted look: "How disgraceful, these are the rising stars on the Newcomer Rich List, if this gets out, you guys will have thoroughly disgraced everyone on the list!" After walking past the two, Lu Xiaobu spoke in a not-too-loud nor too-soft voice: "Hey, dumbass! You think these kind of people even deserve your pee? Its such a waste, next time just drop a big one on them, got it?" Even a fool could see that these two guys came here with ill intentions. Although he didnt know their plans, Lu Xiaobu would definitely not pass up any opportunity to infuriate them to death! Fight with him without being prepared for failure? Thats asking for trouble! "Owo?" Dumbass seemed to understand, yet also not. "You! Wow!" Liu Changlong saw the dumbass. And heard these words! His spirit utterly shattered! Im the one losing face?! Whose fault is all this?! Its all because of that damn dog!!! Youre saying Im not even worth peeing on? I am Liu Changlong! Youve humiliated me time and again using a dog! This time! No ones words will matter! Dont! Stop! Till! Dead! A surge of blood rushed to his head, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and once again he was infuriated into fainting! Why say again? Oh, right, he was already knocked out by the dumbass last time! And Shi Jinhao had also reached his limit, his eyes rolling back, hanging on by a thread! He was about to follow in Liu Changlongs footsteps. ... And at this moment, Lin Feng, one of the Imperial Citys Four Young Masters, stormed into the banquet hall: "Who is Shi Jin..." He hadnt finished his sentence when... Suddenly a foul stench swept over him! "Teng Teng Teng!" In an instant, Lin Feng was forced back three steps by the stench. His previous imposing aura disappeared in a flash, and his face turned green! This is a prank! "I am Shi Jinhao! Just a moment!" Shi Jinhao tried his best to hold back the dizzy feeling and said. You cant say Shi Jinhao isnt a character! Last time, he managed to endure the humiliation of being treated like a dog. This time, he actually held back again by force! He rushed to the restroom at full speed, commanding his subordinates to prepare clothing for him at the fastest speed! He was well aware that although there was a little accident and he lost face, as long as he could handle it in the end, the process didnt matter! Meanwhile, Liang Lan was also dispatching people to quickly clean the banquet hall and to spray air freshener! And since other tycoons had already left the banquet hall, Then! The one who is embarrassed is... Lin Feng! One of the Four Young Masters of ImperialLin Feng! He was under the command of the old master when he came. In his plan, he was supposed to resolve the issue with a couple of words, then leave stylishly! He never considered the possibility of failure or being rejected! But! Now, here, he has become the most damn embarrassed person. No one pays attention to him, and no one recognizes him! Just standing at the door like an idiot, all alone! Hes freaking traveled all over Jiangnan, when has he ever been treated like this?! Mother clucker, if this gets out, hes already thought about how people would laugh at him! "The Four Young Masters of Imperial, Lin Feng, was humiliated by a degenerate before even entering the door, and just stood there waiting for him in such a filthy place" Instantly, his heart filled with hatred for the host of this banquetLu Xiaobu! Lin Feng clenched his teeth and said: "Originally, the old masters command was not to bully you too much, to give you some benefits." "But now, benefits?!" "Today, I, Lin Feng, will just bully you, Lu Xiaobu, what are you going to do about it?!" "Im going to pick a fight with you today, Ill just wait here for you!" "If you dont kneel down and apologize to me, this is not going to end!" Half an hour later! Before Lin Feng completely blew up, the banquet hall finally was open for entry! The tycoons came back one by one. When they saw Lin Feng... Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Instantly... "Sss!" These tycoons all inhaled a breath of cold air. They hurried forward to serve him! They all knew who he was! "Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin, how come youre here?" "Young Master Lin, please sit, please sit!" "Young Master Lin, why didnt you announce your arrival!" "Right, this is not a place where you should be!" "..." At this time, Liang Lan also came back and shrunk her pupils upon seeing Lin Fengwhy is he here? She wanted to come forward to speak immediately. No matter what reason he had for coming, as someone who serves the Young Master, she cant lose her manners! Otherwise, outsiders will criticize the Young Master. But before she could speak! "Shut up! Get lost! So, youre the so-called Tian Jilan, huh! Call Lu Xiaobu over to kneel and apologize to me!" Lin Feng immediately shut Liang Lan up with a single sentence. The sarcasm and anger in his words were self-evident! He just wanted to regain face from Lu Xiaobu in front of everyone! Of course, he wouldnt have any good face toward the dogs or women of Lu Xiaobu! He was striking the face of Lu Xiaobu! "Who is that? Acting all high and mighty!" Lu Xiaobu walked in carrying the dumbass, with an unhappy face! At Shimen, during his banquet, to scold Liang Lan?! And have him kneel and apologize?! Oh wow, damn! If Young Master doesnt teach you a lesson today, you wont understand why the flower is so red, will you! "Young Master!" Liang Lan was touched to see Lu Xiaobu standing up for her. But she still whispered: "We shouldnt mess with this person, we cant afford to provoke him." "Cant afford to provoke? Theres no one in Young Masters eyes who cant be provoked! He dares to scold you?" Lu Xiaobu instantly frowned. Who has he ever been afraid of?! Who is worth his fear?! You think youre incredible?! If youre not freaking awesome, Young Master wouldnt even bother with you!! Chapter 125 Play You to Death! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Play You to Death! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Youre Lu Xiaobu? Indeed, seeing is believing! Good! Very good, its been a long time since I met someone with guts like this!" Lin Feng was amused by what Xiaobu had said. The wealthy individuals around them kept silent as if they were in the presence of chilling cicadas, not daring to breathe loudly, afraid that the battle would turn to them! Zhang Meng and Li Jin shielded Xiaobu and the others behind them, staring at Lin Feng in front of them. The atmosphere between the two sides was tense and explosive, ready to ignite at any moment! "Hold on, Young Master Lin, hold on!" And at that moment, Shi Jinhao hurried over. He had scrubbed his body several times in the bath, almost rubbing off his skin, to finally get rid of that stench. "Shi Jinhao?" Lin Feng lifted his eyelids, speaking with a chilling voice. Although Xiaobu was the host of this banquet. He was called here by the old master because of Shi Jinhao. Now that he had been humiliated, Shi Jinhao couldnt escape blame either! "Yes, yes, its me. Young Master, may I have a word with you?" Shi Jinhao hurriedly bowed and nodded as he spoke. He showed none of the demeanor of a former Newcomer Rich List individual. It was simply poles apart from Xiaobus current attitude! "Hmm?!" Lin Feng frowned, anger surging within him. He had just been confronted, and now he was expected to step aside?! But Shi Jinhao was desperate. He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot. He forcefully pulled Lin Feng to the side! Seeing this scene, Xiaobu scoffed directly: "Hey, whats the matter? Scared? Giving in?!" One by one, theyd die of frustration, just another addition to the Yama Palace! This sight left the other wealthy individuals utterly shocked! Damn! Is the top of the Newcomer Rich List really that awesome?! The former number one on the Newcomer Rich ListShi Jinhao, actually forcefully pulling Young Master Lin! And the current number oneLu Xiaobu, openly going head-to-head with Young Master Lin! This must be a fight between immortals! Unapproachable, unapproachable! These wealthy people, though very self-important in front of ordinary folk. But now, they better just be onlookers, and at the end cheer with a 666! Regrettably, in front of these three big shots, they could only plummet to this sorry state! "Shi Jinhao, do you know what youre doing?" Lin Feng roared furiously: "If it wasnt for knowing you helped the old master, I would let you know the consequences of provoking me right now!" "Young Master Lin, please calm down. I hate Lu Xiaobu even more than you do!" Shi Jinhao hurriedly explained: "But now, Lu Xiaobu is the top of the Newcomer Rich List, how many eyes are fixed on him? Thats his Amulet!" "If you touch him, Im afraid even you, Young Master Lin, will find yourself in trouble! So, to make a move on Lu Xiaobu, we must first pull him down from the top spot on the Newcomer Rich List!" "And isnt this exactly why you came here! So, please do not let anger cloud your judgment!" After finishing, Shi Jinhao looked at Lin Feng somewhat nervously, unsure if his words would calm Lin Feng down. "Huff!" Lin Feng exhaled a long breath, a hint of calmness returning to his eyes, and said coldly, "Dont think Im unaware of your ulterior motives, but youre right, its indeed not suitable to move against him now, so lets take it step by step! Amulet? Today I will tear his amulet apart!" Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Thank you, Young Master Lin, thank you!" Shi Jinhao also exhaled in relief. Returning to the main scene. "Lu Xiaobu, I command you, withdraw from the Newcomer Rich List immediately, and I might just let bygones be bygones about todays incident!" Lin Feng commanded from high above. "Ey yo, badass, badass, this is the first time Ive seen such a shameless guy. Believe it or not, Im gonna smack you with a couple of slaps?!" Lu Xiaobu was amused. The man who usually calls himself Young Master even blurted out old man! Just think about it! One second ago, they were at each others throats ready to fight, and the next second, hes giving me orders! Even his sister-in-law bosses him around and it pisses him off, and now this son of a bitch dares to order him around? "Lu Xiaobu, do you know who youre talking to?" Seeing Lin Feng provoked by Lu Xiaobus words and starting to sway between rationality and rage, Shi Jinhao quickly jumped into the conversation! "Im talking to a chicken dick." Lu Xiaobu snorted with a biting tone. "Holy fuck, you..." Lin Feng exploded. Shi Jinhao firmly held down Lin Feng and hurriedly said: "This is Lin Feng, Young Master Lin, one of Imperials four young masters. Just one word from him, and your whole Lu Family is finished! So, if you want to quell Young Master Lins rage, you better drop out of the Newcomer Rich List right now!" "How come I dont believe that at all?" Lu Xiaobu curled his lip and said: "Come on, let me see, are you that kind of cling-on? How are you so impressive?!" "Fine! You want to see if I am? Ill show you right now! Shi Jinhao, get the fuck out of my way!" Lin Feng, with rage sky-high, shoved Shi Jinhao away and took out his phone! Shi Jinhao was shoved aside, but he didnt try to stop Lin Feng again. Because he had achieved his goal! Creating conflict between Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu was part of the plan. But their original conflict was based on brute force, which did not suit his interests. So, he forcefully shifted their conflict to one of family power! And with that, he was guaranteed to win! If Lu Xiaobu obeys and drops out of the Newcomer Rich List, he wins, and the project is his, Lu Xiaobus life belongs to Liu Changlong. If Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng clash head-on, the Lu Family will be obliterated, but they will still have to drop out of the Newcomer Rich List, and he, once again, wins! Sorry, Lu Xiaobu, this is a checkmate! "Young Master!" Liang Lan immediately got nervous: "We cant let him make that call, or our Lu Family will be in danger." She clearly understood the power of this phone call. Once its made, the whole Shimen would become their enemy, their products would face all kinds of trials. Like their cola getting switched, strange things added to the cola, health inspections, license checks, and so on! By then, the Lu Family would really be in imminent danger! "Make the call? No worries, let him call, I just want to see if he dares!" Lu Xiaobu sneered. He also took out his phone and placed it in front of him. "Whats this? Youre looking for someone?" Seeing this, Lin Feng burst into haughty laughter: "Go ahead, you can call anyone first! Whoever it is, I really want to see if your backer dares to clash with me, Lin Feng!" Lu Xiaobu snorted and shook his head: "Backer? No, no, no, I think youre mistaken!" "Theres something Ive created, called live streaming, you know what that is?" "Its something that can show every single action on the scene to everyone through a phone." At this point, Lu Xiaobu pointed to his phone: "And right now, I am live streaming!" "Im not a great host, just got a few million people watching my stream." "Ill let them witness Young Master Lins style!" "Let them see how Young Master Lin is going to handle the Lu Family with just one phone call!" "In the end, let them tag the Lin Family, tag the relevant departments, to see if you, Young Master Lin, really should be so cocky!" After Lu Xiaobu finished talking, the entire scene fell into dead silence! Lin Fengs arrogant laughter was frozen on his face, and the phone in his hand could no longer be dialed! Lu Xiaobu smirked with disdain C thinking live streaming can only be for play? It can also be used to play you to death! Chapter 126: Cat Plays with Mouse [10,000 Votes Additional Release!!!] Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Cat Plays with Mouse [10,000 Votes Additional Release!!!]As soon as Lu Xiaobu finished speaking, the camera on his phone turned into a machine gun. Just by pointing it at someone, they would hastily cover their face, turn their head, spin around, or even hide away! What the hell kind of joke is this? Live streaming?! To expose all these people to the view of millions?! They wouldnt dare! You must realize the power of netizens is incredibly potent, and they might deduce ten major charges from just a thread of evidence! They remember a time when a female celebrity posted a photo! And then, keen netizens noticed her necklace was different from her usual one. Next, they traced the necklace to its purchase date... From the purchase date, they identified who bought it... And from there, they found her daily movements... Finally concluding the female celebrity was married!!! At that moment, the female celebrity was truly baffled - Who am I? Where am I? What did I do? Why am I exposed?! Moreover, now, theyre broadcasting live, who knows what else these divinely skilled netizens might discover! Lin Fengs face turned green as he roared, "Lu Xiaobu, I order you, shut it down!" "Whoa there! Dear audience, did you hear that? This big shot is ordering me around. What do you say, should I comply? Oh, Im so scared! With just one word, he could obliterate me!" Lu Xiaobu sneered, speaking to the live stream. Comments flooded the screen. "Pfft! Hahahaha!" "Awesome! Awesome! Daring to speak like that to Young Master Bu at Shimen, totally explosive!" "Dont worry, Young Master Bu, well call the police for you. Ive already recorded the screen." "Yeah, if anything happens to you, this guy wont be able to dissociate himself from it!" "That guy over there, I dont care who you are, but today, in front of our million viewers, just try touching Young Master Bu!" Lin Feng felt like his heart was about to explode with rage! One million people? One million people, damn it! What the hell does that mean? It means that if Lu Xiaobu had even a scratch on him, a million scandals would be dumped upon his head and bury him! The four young masters of Imperial? In front of the damn people and public opinion, he is nothing! Sar?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the past, even if some rumors spread, he would just wipe them clean! But now! How is he to wipe them clean?! Live streaming, dang it! You tell me, how can that be erased? Liang Lan licked her lips in secret. She had thought that the Young Master was merely toying with the live streaming. It seemed she had still not fully grasped Young Masters thoughts! This is practically an amulet! Her pupils shrank suddenlydoes that mean the Young Master can do as he pleases from now on? But then she immediately understoodthis amulet is actually one-time use, at least in front of these people, there are still many ways to stop the stream, like cutting off the internet, turning off the phone, etc! But for now, the Young Master has won, and this Lin Feng definitely wouldnt dare to lay a finger on Young Master Bu for a while! "Tsks tsk tsk, come on, guys, let me show you the face of this too-cool-for-school character!" Would Lu Xiaobu let Lin Feng go just like that? Are you kidding me?! If he doesnt utterly play with this guy today, then hes not Lu Xiaobu! He began to slowly move the camera lens toward Lin Fengs face! You just ordered me around, didnt you? Well, Young Master isnt issuing orders, Young Master is going to torment you! Watching as the camera lens, like aiming down the barrel of a gun, slowly moved towards Lin Feng! A trace of humiliation flashed across Lin Fengs face! This Lu Xiaobu is definitely doing this on purpose, so slow! Lu Xiaobu is toying with him, playing with him like a cat with a mouse! If he hides, it means hes admitting that hes afraid of Lu Xiaobu! Like a mouse encountering a cat! If he doesnt hide, then hell be exposed to a million people! What? Youre asking if hell hide? How could he not hide?! Could he not tell which was more important?! So, he didnt just hide! He bolted out of the door like a mouse on the run! He knew that at this moment, Lu Xiaobus gaze was undoubtedly one of disdain! He came with arrogance, yet left in disgrace! This was the most humiliating moment of his life! Especially having been defeated by a loser! Yes, he guessed right! Lu Xiaobus look was indeed one of disdain. But, his disdain certainly wasnt hidden! Instead... "You utter trash!" Lu Xiaobu directly expressed his scorn! Hearing this. "Hiss!" The entire banquet hall gasped in shock. For a moment, it felt like all the oxygen in the hall had vanished! They all looked at Lu Xiaobu with horror! He must have gone crazy! Absolutely crazy! Challenging Lin Feng head-on! Not only had he done it, but he also openly voiced it! It was like slapping Lin Feng hard across the face! "Pfft!" The escaping Lin Feng felt his heart squeeze tight, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood! But he couldnt argue back! So what if Lu Xiaobu is a loser, goes live, swears at people, even fights; it doesnt matter! But Lin Feng couldnt do that! As one of Imperials Four Young Masters, too many people wouldnt allow him to make a mistake! Was he actually being schooled by a loser so bluntly!? Humiliation! Humiliation! As for Shi Jinhao? He had long since fled, even earlier than Lin Feng! "Dammit, I lost again!" Shi Jinhao, with bloodshot eyes, squatted in a corner: "No, I must drop out of the Newcomer Rich List immediately! Move, change my name, no! I should first hide abroad for a while!" He was scared! He could imagine that the humiliation Lin Feng suffered today, when he couldnt vent it on Lu Xiaobu in the short run, who would it be vented on! Thats right, it was him, Shi Jinhao! So, he must withdraw from the Newcomer Rich List and go incognito! Even though his heart bled, he had to do it for the sake of his life! After all, Lu Xiaobu had the Amulet of live broadcasting, but he didnt! Lu Xiaobu, are you human or ghost? Why do I always lose! Banquet hall. "Alright, brothers, lets call it a day." Lu Xiaobu said to the viewers in the live stream. Bullet screen. "Dont go!" "Big trouble, hes going to run!" "Young Master Bu, keep streaming a bit longer!" "Yeah, stream a bit more, I didnt see anything just now." "..." "Alright, Ive got things to do today, head over to my Weibo! Thanks for today, Ill do a giveaway for you. Mhm, lets start with one million." Lu Xiaobu said with a smile. This crowd instantly calmed down! "Thank you Young Master Bu!" "Oye, lets go for the draw!" "Young Master Bu is so generous!" "Long live Young Master Bu!" "..." After the broadcast, Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and looked at the crowd in the hall, revealing a smile. "Long live Young Master Bu!" "Young Master Bu, may you reign forever and unite Jianghu!" "Young Master Bu, awesome!" "..." Yeah, the wealthy folks dutifully played their role as the spectating masses shouting 666! They had to shout; they didnt have a choice! Here and now, Lu Xiaobu was the big shot! A smart man doesnt suffer in silence! The banquet may have ended, but the affair wasnt over yet! Do you guys still remember the reason Shi Jinhao wanted to kick Lu Xiaobu off the Newcomer Rich List? How much money was it again... Hiss, I think I forgot! Chapter 127: Come with the Wind, Go with the Wind [4th Update, Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Come with the Wind, Go with the Wind [4th Update, Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The next day. Lu Xiaobu received a notice to attend a project bid. Unable to resist his familys insistence, he went reluctantly. Then... He made three billion yuan! When he got home! The family was eating dinner, and it was also the first time Lu Hongbin brought Lin Shu home for dinner. "Youre back, just in time, sit down and eat." Lus father hurriedly called out. As more people were around, Lus father had set up a big mahogany dining table in the dining room so the family could enjoy meals together. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu sat down, took the cola Zhang Meng got him from the fridge, and waited for Liang Lan to serve him food. "How was your day?" Lu Hongbin casually asked. "Oh, made three billion." Lu Xiaobu casually replied. "Oh!" Everyone nodded. "Pfft!" Only Lin Shu nearly spat out her rice. As a person of decency, this was the first time she had ever made such an inelegant gesture! She covered her mouth in disbelief, looking at Lu Xiaobu and then at everyone else. Did she hear wrong? No, she heard three billion! But why is everyone so calm? Three billion, thats three billion! She remembered Lu Xiaobu had only gone out for an hour! One hour to make three billion?! And the Lu family showed no expression at all? Just as she was about to ask... She saw the Lu family calmly swallowing their food... Then drank some water... Smoothed down the food... And finally... "Holy shit!" The Lu family suddenly cursed in unison! All of them were staring at Lu Xiaobu, dumbfounded! Lu Hongbin suddenly stood up: "Xiaobu, you made another three billion?! Three billion?!" Lu Wenhao rubbed his forehead: "Three billion! How long were you even out? Did you rob a bank?" Lus father patted his chest, took a moment to recover: "I thought we might aim for Shimens wealthiest at the years end, seems like we dont have to anymore." "Wait, Hongbin, can you explain your initial reaction to me?" Lin Shu, somewhat overwhelmed, asked: "Why didnt you react when you first heard about the three billion, and now you suddenly remembered?" "Oh, that! Were used to it." Lu Hongbin then realized Lin Shu was still there and explained: "If we dont control our emotions during meals, once we spit out our food, wed have to cook all over again." His words were very calm, a calmness that came from being weather-beaten. Apparently, they had spat out their food so many times that they had developed such restraint! Terrifying! "Liang Lan, theres no problem with this deal, right?" Lus father still felt compelled to ask. "No worries, Uncle Lu, Ive looked into it, this project was initially prepared for Shi Jinhao, but they never expected Young Master to top the Newcomer Rich List so quickly, so they were all dumbfounded." Liang Lan smiled, placing the food in front of Lu Xiaobu: "And currently, the Lu family doesnt have the means to develop this area, so it was subcontracted to another company, a clean profit of 3 billion!" "Sss!" Despite himself, Lus father gasped. Earning money is a lifetime study for others. But for Xiaobu, why does it always seem like childs play? After the routine shock... The Lu family regained composure, continuing to eat and drink. But Lin Shus heart couldnt settle for a long time. Three billion, three billion! To begin so plainly, to end so plainly? In a normal family, not to mention three billion, even winning a lotteryfive million! That would be an all-night celebration, an uproarious joy for the whole family! But what about here? Expressing disbelief is enough? Thats it? No discussion on how to spend the money, how to save it, no questions asked? This issue has been bothering Lin Shu, from eating her meal to finishing it, and then suffering from insomnia all night long, she just couldnt calm down! Well, until the next day... She finally understood why! Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Because... Lu Xiaobu had a dream last night... Apparently, he dreamed that after getting into college, it might be inconvenient to come home. So, he decided to buy a private airplane. Then... It wasnt even dawn yet... Lu Xiaobu had already purchased a private plane. Challenger CL604! Worth267 million! Hearing this news, Lin Shu was completely dumbfounded! million?! He just made three hundred million last night! And... and... and... its all gone?! Just because it would be inconvenient to come home after going to university... Lu Xiaobu bought a private jet? She couldnt help but tear up. Can I call him a prodigal son? Excuse me, Lu Xiaobu, do you plan to come home to sleep every day?! At this moment, she finally realized why the Lu family didnt care about this money. Because caring was useless! This type of money, in the hands of the prodigal son Lu Xiaobu, was like a silent breeze. You neither know where it comes from nor where it goes! Since you dont know anything, Why bother being upset! Seeing Lin Shus transformation, the Lu family members nodded secretlyyeah, not bad, shes almost one of the Lu Family now! ... After spending a leisurely day, it was Monday. Although Lu Xiaobu had bought a private plane, he couldnt fly it yet due to pending procedures and such. Thus, Lu Xiaobu still took the RV to school! Of course, even when the paperwork was done, he wouldnt fly the plane to school. The plane was meant for when he went to college. With only three days left until the college entrance exam. The atmosphere in the school was polarized. One group was cramming last minute, frantically doing practice problems and memorizing stuff, hoping to score a few more points during the exams. While the other group was maintaining their mentality to overcome together, enjoying themselves and adjusting their mindset. And the teachers gave all their time to the students, only intervening if things got too out of hand. Of course, all of this still had no relation to Lu Xiaobu. Uh, no, actually it did have a connection, a connection arrived. "That Xiaobu, theres something Id like to discuss with you." The dean of discipline, Black-faced YamaFan Xihua, approached his car. It seemed he had been waiting for a while. "Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu asked as he got out of the car. "Actually, you see, the college entrance exam is coming up soon, and the school was thinking of holding a pep rally, but there are some issues with the funding..." Fan Xihua was somewhat embarrassed. After all, as a dean of discipline, asking students for money was really something he was reluctant to do. But considering other students, he could only grit his teeth and come forward. "Oh, so thats why I was allowed to drive into the school recently." Lu Xiaobu laughed: "It turns out you were waiting for me here." However, he knew it was normal, after all, he was the top of the Newcomer Rich List, and the first target when hitting the rich! But, being hit as a rich guy felt pretty good to him! That was enough! "This... cough cough!" Fan Xihua became even more awkward. His dark face even turned red. This did feel a bit like fishing. "Its fine, I was just saying, problems that money can solve arent problems at all, its also my school, its only right!" Lu Xiaobu said generously with a wave of his hand: "What do you want to do? Just tell me." Fan Xihua: "We want to..." Cough cough, what do they want to do? Stay tuned for the next part! Elder Feng: "I just wont tell you! Hehe, come hit me!" Chapter 128 This is the Difference [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 128: Chapter 128 This is the Difference [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The story continues from last time. Elder Feng: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Ive lost my teeth, the air is leaking through! Thats enough, enough, hitting the face is okay, but leave my hands, I still need to type! Bosses, I was wrong, isnt that enough? Using a fire hydrant was a bit too much, wasnt it?" Brothers, help me out, were recommended again, which means, were going to have three updates today, so lets get those recommendation votes flowing, Elder Feng is going wild again! Fan Xihua rubbed his hands together and said, "Actually, I just want to invite a minor celebrity over..." Lu Xiaobu: "Sister Lan, go tally up the opinions of our classmates, find out which celebrity they want to hear sing, and invite them all over." Fan Xihua was stunned: "No need, just having one sing a song alone is..." Lu Xiaobu: "Lets hold a mini-concert just for the seniors of our school." Fan Xihua hurriedly waved his hands: "Really, theres no need, we all agreed, the school pays half, were only spending tens of thousands altogether..." Lu Xiaobu: "Zhang Meng, go book the Workers Stadium. We have tens of millions left from that three billion, lets use it all." Fan Xihua collapsed: "Uhh..." Lu Xiaobu: "Anything else?" "No...no...nothing else." Fan Xihuas hands were trembling. This was the first time he had witnessed Lu Xiaobu squandering money with his own eyes. Indeed, seeing is believing. Damn it, scared the hell out of me! All I did was suggest inviting a minor celebrity over to sing and cheer everyone up! But you, you just went ahead and spent tens of millions to hold a concert! And about that leftover three billion, can you tell me what you spent it on? You just wanted a kneel, I wouldve given it to you! ... Lu Xiaobu went to class, and Liang Lan started getting busy. Tallying opinions, arranging the venue, mobilizing staff. To say she was busy was actually an understatement. The Workers Stadium contact was taken over by the school authorities, who were too embarrassed. And as for tallying the list, as soon as the students heard it was Young Master Bus initiative, there was not the slightest doubt! In the end, the results came in, and excluding some stars that were deliberately causing trouble and those with very few choices, there were a total of 12 celebrities. The money given by the Young Master was more than enough. Liang Lan was just about to call those talent agencies to contact them and arrange the schedule. At this moment, Xiaobus number one ranking in the Newcomer Rich List came into play. These celebrities, no matter how big their bowl was, whether it was Bingbing or Brother Hu. As soon as they heard that Young Master Bu was holding a concert. And it was to cheer on the senior high students. They all expressed that they would make time. And the appearance fees were mostly at a friendly price. All to make friends with Young Master Bu. Then, Li Qiang came over. "Whats up? Does the Young Master have any instructions?" Liang Lan put down the phone and asked. "Well, Sister Lan." Li Qiang rubbed his hands: "Actually, theres a minor celebrity I really like, shes not on the list, I just mentioned it to the Young Master, and he told me to find you." Liang Lan smiled: "You needed to go see the Young Master for this? Couldnt you have just come to see me directly?" "Hehe. Its just that it costs money!" Li Qiang felt somewhat embarrassed. "You, need to think bigger. Youre not just an ordinary student anymore, youre one of the Young Masters people, you cant be so petty anymore. Otherwise, its not just your own face youll be losing, its the Young Masters too," Liang Lan advised. "Oh." Li Qiang nodded as if he understood, but he was actually still a bit confused. He was, after all, just a student and was somewhat mystified by all this. "Alright, whats the name? Ill ask for her phone number for you, and you can call her directly." Liang Lan waved her hand, letting him experience it for himself. Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Her name is Zhou Shuya." Li Qiang quickly said. His heart was a little excited. Was Sister Lan implying that he could call Zhou Shuya himself? "Okay, got it. Heres her personal number." Liang Lan made a call and gave Li Qiang a number: "Go on." Thats the difference. How much effort does an ordinary person need to make to contact a celebrity? And now, with just one casual call from Liang Lan, she got the private number! "Hehe." Li Qiang scratched his head and ran off to the side with the phone number. He restrained his excitement and finally dialed the number. "Hello?" A familiar yet strange voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, are you Zhou Shuya? My name is Li Qiang, Im a fan of yours. I..." Li Qiang spoke somewhat incoherently. "Huh? How did you get this number?" Zhou Shuyas voice clearly sounded impatient: "Okay, thats it. I have things to do." She had heard that Young Master Bu, the top person on the Newcomer Rich List, was going to hold a concert and many big stars were going to be there. So, she was trying to see if she could get into the concert through some other channel. Even just showing her face would be good enough. Who had time now to pay attention to a mere fan? Li Qiang on the other end of the phone was stunned. Zhou Shuyas indifferent words, like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, made him feel a chill throughout his body. Although he knew that as just a fan, it was normal for her not to care. But he couldnt help feeling upset. It was at this moment that he suddenly remembered Sister Lans wordsYou are Young Master Bus person, you need to think bigger. He suddenly understood! So, Li Qiang took a deep breath: "Well, actually, I have another identity. Im Young Master Bus lackey. You can verify my identity. I quite like your songs. Theres a concert tonight, I dont know if you have time..." "Yes!" Zhou Shuya immediately let out a high-pitched response. She who was just about to hang up the phone, now clung to it tightly. Her heart was nearly exploding with excitement! Young Master Bus lackey is my fan? Thats great! Thats great! She suddenly remembered her earlier behavior, hastily apologized, and said: "Li Qiang, I was in a bad mood just now, I didnt mean it, I apologize. How about I treat you to dinner tonight?" "No need for dinner, just be sure to come." Li Qiang smiled faintly and hung up the phone. From one phone call, he understood everything. This is what disparity looks like. When he said he was a fan, she was indifferent. When he said he was the Young Masters lackey, she instead took the initiative to invite him to dinner! And he couldnt be bothered to go! This must be what Sister Lan meant by thinking bigger. A seventh-rank official in front of the prime ministers gate! Even if he was just Young Master Bus lackey, he shouldnt be looked down upon by others. Otherwise, it would reflect poorly on Young Master Bu! From a distance, Liang Lan nodded her head. Li Qiang had grown, not bad! It was always necessary to cultivate more capable people for the Young Master. ... At this moment, news of the school holding a concert also spread among the students! "My goodness! A concert?!" "Young Master Bu is so domineering! To hold a concert for our oath-taking rally?" "I heard that many top stars are coming this time, spending over thirty million!" "Young Master Bu is awesome!" "I saw the list, Bingbing is coming, my goddess!" "And Hu Ge, wow, my male idol! I cant handle it, Im going to faint!" "Cut it out, youre clueless. Young Master Bu is the real idol, okay?" "Uh... no, thats wrong, Hu Ge is the idol, Young Master Bu is a deity! Right, Im going to pray!" "Hahaha! Exactly, trust in Young Master Bu, gain eternal life!" "Hold on, dont get too excited, lets go, lets go..." "Where to?" "Go strut our stuff at No. 2 Middle School!" "Hahaha, lets go strut! Let them see our treatment!" "Long live Young Master Bu!" Chapter 129: Can You Compete with a Rich Second Generation? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Can You Compete with a Rich Second Generation? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Money can make the world go round! This saying is an absolute truth! Under the influence of Lu Xiaobus wealth and the No.1 spot on the Newcomer Rich List. The whole concert was swiftly and efficiently organized. Some stars with flexible schedules had already arrived in Shimen. And those with busy schedules also promised to make it before the concert begins! This caused not just Shimen First Middle School, but the entire Shimen to buzz with excitement. A star-studded concert! Ordinary folks can hardly get a glimpse of a concert. Not to mention hosting one! In the whole Shimen, besides Young Master Bu, who else could pull it off? Its not just about the money, but the prestige as well. You let Liu Changlong, whos at the bottom of the Newcomer Rich List, try to invite people, he might get a few. But could he create the scenario where everyone responds to the call? Parents were all talking about it. "Hey, have you heard? Young Master Bu is hosting a concert!" "Of course I heard, but its a pity we cant get in." Shimen First Middle School parent: "Hehe, my son is from Shimen First Middle School, a senior." Shimen Second Middle School parent: "Hiss, that darn kid of mine, I told him to attend First Middle School. He wouldnt listen, now hell just be envious." "Cut it out, whats so great, its just a concert! Who knows, maybe theyll even do poorly in their college entrance exams after attending it." The previous two parents: "Go away, you from the Third Middle School, youve got no say here!" Third Middle School parent: "I... " After the exams, if that little rascal doesnt do well, Ill beat the daylights out of him for embarrassing me! "..." As evening approached, Shimen First Middle School ended classes early, organizing all seniors to gather at the entrance. The freshmen and sophomores couldnt focus on their classes either, each of them peeking out of the windows. "Im so jealous! If only I was born a year earlier, or if Young Master Bu was born a year later." "Yes, a special concert! If these seniors dont perform well, I wont forgive them!" "Right, if they dont do well, they would have let Young Master Bu down." "..." Since Black-faced Yama personally organized this, the principal didnt steal the spotlight but allowed Fan Xihua to give a speech. When Fan Xihuas stern face took the stage, a wave of pressure hit everyone. "Listen up, Young Master Bu generously organized this concert for you, so listen well. After listening, do well on your exams, for if you mess up! Dont just think youve let your parents down, but think of Young Master Bu, youve let him down too! Heard that?" The students roared immediately! "We heard you!" Fan Xihua: "The brave wins when paths narrow!" Students: "I can, I capable, I succeed!" Fan Xihua: "Improve by one point!" Students: "Defeat a thousand!" Fan Xihua: "Without the college entrance exam, can you compete with rich second generations?" Students: "We cant!" Fan Xihua: "With the college entrance exam, can you compete with rich second generations?" "Uhh..." The students hesitated... Then glanced at Lu Xiaobu... Thought about it... Caught each others eyes... And collectively nodded: "We still cant!" "Ugh!" Black-faced Yama was stunned too, then glanced at Lu Xiaobu, and rolled his eyes: "Fine, fine, forget I said anything, you cant compete." "Hahaha!" The seniors all laughed. ... Led by Fan Xihua, under the envious glances from passersby, the seniors walked towards the Workers Stadium. It must be said, using this stadium that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, for a private concert for these thousand or so seniors, is indeed quite extravagant and wasteful. After all, including the teachers, students, all the celebrities, and their assistants, there were only 1497 people, just shy of 1500! For this, Fan Xihua had asked Lu Xiaobu whether he wanted to sell off the remaining seats to make some money. Of course, Lu Xiaobus answer was no. Make money? What money? What money can a wastrel make? The students were eagerly waiting for the opening... Lu Xiaobu was excitedly participating in the lottery. He was thinking, the amount he could squander was whopping over three hundred million! If he drew one at a time, he could do it over 300 times! "System, draw the lottery." Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands and said. "What kind do you want?" The system asked out loud. Having had good cooperation before, their communication now was particularly smooth! "Not many requirements, first, it must have strong protective abilities, second, it shouldnt be exhausting, and third, it should preferably be reusable, not something thats gone after one use." Lu Xiaobu set out his requirements. "Your requirements are really simple, huh? Wanting powerful yet effortless and also reusable," the system rolled its eyes, "Why dont you just say you want to be invincible in this world?" "Thats okay too." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Beat it!" The system laughingly scolded: "Let me look around and see if theres a suitable one! However, be mentally prepared, even if theres a suitable one, its definitely going to be expensive." "Okay, Im aware!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. After a while, the system finally found one. "Its my lucky day, finally found something." The system proudly said: "A Protective Jade Pendant from the Ancient Sound Wave Sect, as long as you stimulate it with your voice, it can form a protective shield, blocking external attacks, simple, powerful, and the best part is it still has quite a lot of energy, probably enough for you to use for a while." "Alright." Lu Xiaobu was pleased, "How much?" "Three hundred million." "Youre doing this on purpose, arent you! Just aiming for my squander value." "What, do you want me to find a disposable one instead? That would be a lot cheaper." "Forget it, lets stick with this one! Might be problematic if you cant find one next time!" "..." Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After going through the motions of a lottery draw, Lu Xiaobu obtained this pre-chosen rewardthe Magic Sound Jade Pendant! ... And at this moment! An unexpected visitor arrived at the door. "Liu Changlong? What are you here for?" Fan Xihua, acting temporarily as security, blocked Liu Changlong who was trying to enter. "What, Fan Xihua, am I not a student of Shimen First Middle School? Am I not a senior? I cant go in?" Liu Changlong had a sloppy beard, his eyes were full of blood veins, exuding a sense of vicissitudes. The current him was completely different in concept from that previously flashy, high-profile son of the Liu Family. "This!" Fan Xihua was at a loss for words! Indeed, Liu Changlong was a senior at Shimen First Middle School, and this concert was prepared for the seniors. Both sensibly and morally, he had no right to prevent Liu Changlong from entering. But! Look at him, would anyone believe hes just here to listen to music? Even a blind man could see hes here to cause trouble! "Move aside!" Liu Changlong coldly stated, his face sinister: "In the past, at school, I let you off several times, now, you better not provoke me!" Previously, he acted like a good boy at school just to maintain his title on the Newcomer Rich List. But now... What worthless Newcomer Rich List? He had no concerns anymore! What was Fan Xihua anyway, to dare block him!? "No! You cant go in!" Fan Xihua gritted his teeth, continuing to obstruct. There were too many students inside, he couldnt bear any accidents. "If you dont accept the toast, you must face the forfeit!" Liu Changlongs eyes glinted sharply, a burst of murderous aura shot out! Chapter 130: Transforming into a Fierce Ghost [Extra - for 1000 Recommendation Tickets] Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Transforming into a Fierce Ghost [Extra Chapter for 1000 Recommendation Tickets]At the entrance of the concert, Liu Changlong looked at Fan Xihua with a suddenly cold voice: "Do it." As soon as his words fell, a person sprang from the corner and covered Fan Xihuas mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "You!" Fan Xihua immediately felt dizzy rushing into his brain, and promptly rolled his eyes and passed out. "Should we?" The person supported Fan Xihuas body and made a gesture of slitting the throat. "Not for now, set him aside first. As a teacher, he should still lead his students on the road to the underworld." Liu Changlong revealed a sinister smile: "Go, the police have been led away by me, go deal with the security guards, change into their uniforms, and wait for the opportunity." "Yes!" The person dragged Fan Xihua away. Liu Changlong straightened his clothes, his eyes filled with ferocity: "Lu Xiaobu, I have sworn an oath, we will fight to the death!" He was already desperate, today, he had no cares! What Liu Family? What Lu Family? What human life? In his eyes, there was only Lu Xiaobu! He wanted to strip Lu Xiaobu of everything! Even in death, he wanted him to be despised! A concert, is it? Ill turn it into a funeral! The shadow of Liu Changlong entering the entrance stretched long, like a malevolent ghost! Dont ask why Liu Changlong, just because he was urinated on by a dog twice, would make such a big move. Ask those who have opted for suicide and you will understand! Those who fall into paranoia, all inevitably transform into fierce ghosts! Those without power, take revenge on themselves! Those with power, take revenge on society! Liu Changlong is of the latter! ... Meanwhile, the concert was at its peak. As each of their usually TV-only celebrities appeared at the concert, everyone was screaming frantically. You should know that there were so few people now, almost everyone could get close to celebrities. So every student was wildly reveling, venting to their hearts content! They were welcoming the day of judgement for their twelve years of strenuous study with a final revelry! "Yay! Brother Hu, Brother Hu!" "Bingbing, Bingbing, Bingbing!" "Long live Young Master Bu!" "Young Master Bu is the best in the world!" "..." Even the teachers were all wildly excited! "Ah! Thats Chen Yijie! My idol!" "So beautiful! I cant take it, my soul is about to leave my body!" "Ive dreamed of attending a concert, I cant believe today, Young Master Bu made it happen for me!" "So awesome!" "..." In this frenzy, no one noticed Fan Xihuas disappearance, nor that the security personnel had been switched. Only Zhang Meng and Li Jin were still sharp, noticing the anomaly. But the scene was too chaotic, their vision severely obstructed, unable to see clearly. "Instructor, should I go check it out?" Li Jin asked quietly. "Dont. Protecting Young Masters safety is most important, closely monitor, meet constancy with variability! If you leave, I am afraid I will be unable to cover everything alone." Zhang Meng slowly shook his head, his eyes brimming with killing intent, locking onto each person he felt was off. There were too many people around the Young Master, only if they both were there could they possibly keep him safe. If it was just him alone, it would really be beyond his capacity! ... Northwest corner of the stadium. "Young Master Liu, there are two experts by Lu Xiaobus side, we cannot make a move for now, how about we start with others instead?" Someone approached Liu Changlong, who was sitting in the dark, and whispered. "No, dont." Liu Changlong waved his hand, his eyes flashing coldly: "If we dont kill Lu Xiaobu, killing someone else is pointless. Guard every exit, an opportunity will present itself!" "At the end of the concert, Lu Xiaobu will definitely go on stage. He cant bring bodyguards on stage then! At that time, well set off the fireworks." "As for now, just enjoy the music, its actually quite good." Liu Changlong leaned back in his seat, his eyes slightly closed, his fingers swayed in mid-air, exuding utter elegance. In this moment, he seemed to have returned to being the once glorified, prominent young master of the Liu Family. Yet, the words he spoke were so ruthless: "However, its a pity, after today, we wont hear it anymore." "Yes." The person retreated. Liu Changlongs gaze slightly shifted, casting a glance at Lu Xiaobu who was listening to the song, revealing a fiendish smile: "Lu Xiaobu, Lu Xiaobu, I really dont know whether to call you stupid or overly confident? You dare to give me such an opportunity under my watch in Shimen!" "Dont forget, this is Shimen. The operation by the Liu Family over so many years is not something your Lu Family, which made its wealth overnight through a few projects, can compare with." ... The atmosphere at the concert continued to rise, finally leading to the closing moment after a group song by all the stars. "Young Master Bu, dont you want to say a few words?" The host, smiling, invited him. This host was also a famous one, named Jiang Tan. He was known for his nimbleness and ability to liven up the atmosphere. "Forget it." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. He wasnt interested in stealing the limelight. "It seems Young Master Bu really doesnt want to." Jiang Tan shrugged his shoulders, making a helpless expression: "I was actually going to ask Young Master Bu to sing a song, well, that plans spoiled." Upon hearing this, the high school students were abuzz. Young Master Bu singing! Such a rare opportunity! Immediately, they all started shouting. "Young Master Bu, go up! Go up! Go up!" "Give us one, give us one, give one!" "..." Even Wu Qianmin, the crazy girl, persistently said, "Xiaobu, go up, go up, go up!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, resignedly preparing to go up. "Young Master! I suggest you dont go up." Zhang Meng stopped Lu Xiaobu, his expression serious: "Something about the atmosphere is not right; it feels like there are enemies here!" "Enemies?" Liang Lans expression suddenly turned serious, scanning around puzzled: "I dont see any." "These people are very professional, probably a professional team, you cant spot them," Zhang Meng shook his head and said: "Many peoples gazes are intentionally or unintentionally shifting towards Young Master Bu. If Im not mistaken, their target is probably Young Master Bu." "Ah..." Lu Xiaobu sighed: "Okay, I understand. Zhang Meng, you stay here to ensure the safety of Sister Lan and the others. Li Jin, contact Zhang Benhu, they have well-informed connections, figure out whats really going on, and act immediately once confirmed." "Yes!" Li Jin immediately responded. "Pepper, you should also call your people! At the very least, ensure your safety! And protect Sister Lan and the others along with Zhang Meng," Lu Xiaobu stretched his neck to Zhou Jingyuan. "Okay!" Zhou Jingyuan nodded her head. She indeed had bodyguards, and she knew Lu Xiaobu was aware of it. After all, it was a common arrangement. "What about you, Young Master?" Zhang Meng asked. "Im not worried, Ill go up and sing." Lu Xiaobu stretched languidly, standing up! Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Young Master!" "Xiaobu!" Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin were extremely worried. "Its okay." Lu Xiaobu patted the hands of Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin, confidently smiling: "I still have a big move!" He had been wary of this day! Otherwise, he wouldnt have sought such protective measures from the system. However, he truly did not expect the opponent to be so Chapter 131 Chapter 131: Chapter 131 "The Cruel College Entrance Examination Syllabus" [4th update, please recommend, please bookmark]Lu Xiaobu walked onto the stage, and the entire concert plunged into its final frenzy. Everyone was shouting Lu Xiaobus name. The students, fewer than a thousand strong, managed to muster the spirit of tens of thousands. "Young Master Bu, for a thousand generations, rule over Jianghu!" "Hahaha, awesome." Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily: "Just now, you wanted me to sing, right?" "Thats right!" the crowd roared. "Well then, Im going to sing! Dont run away scared." Lu Xiaobu said with a smile. The crowd erupted into laughter. "No worries, we can handle it!" "Its just a song! If its too bad, well just plug our ears!" "Just sing, as long as I can still survive a few days to take the Gaokao, thats all I need." "..." Lu Xiaobu smiled, took the microphone, and began to sing. It was a song written specifically for the Gaokao on Earth. Not to mention the people of Water Blue Star, even you guys on Earth have probably never heard it. This song was an adaptation of the theme tune from Neon Genesis Evangelion, "A Cruel Angels Thesis"! "The Cruel Gaokao Thesis" Back when Lu Xiaobu took the Gaokao on Earth, a teacher had played this song for them. At that time, the feeling was really one of wanting to cry and laugh, and after going back, he couldnt help but put it on loop for a long time. Believe it, today, it will surely stir the hearts of the high school seniors about to face the Gaokao. "The sacred moment of June 7th has arrived, with an exam number in hand, fate takes a new trajectory!" Lu Xiaobu held the microphone, his voice shifting from slow to fast, from low to high. With just one line of the lyrics, all the high school seniors instantly quieted down, a tremor from the soul rippling through them! June 7th. The sacred moment. The exam number. Fate takes a new trajectory! Isnt this song about them, the high school seniors? Its actually a song written for them! Everyone pricked up their ears, listening intently to the song. They were a million times more focused than when they were in school. "Before the test starts," "My heart begins to race," "In my mind a blank slate, all I see are question marks," "The fiery Qi in my chest burns," "Veins on my forehead bulging," "As if the exam questions are taunting me," Boom A set of nearly straight-forward lyrics completely ignited the high school seniors! This was exactly the state they were in before an exam! For some repeaters, tears filled their eyes instantly! Yes, this was exactly how they felt when they entered the examination hall! Exactly the same! Although Lu Xiaobus singing skill was far inferior to those of professional stars. And if it were any other song, it might feel like a humiliation. But! Not this one! Because with this song, they were listening to the soul! "How can I forget," "The hardships of growth," "How many have gone insane from doing problems," "Exercises flying everywhere," "Emotions running high at dawn," "Coffee as essential provisions," It was explosive, explosive, and still explosive! Countless high school seniors were weeping bitterly! The hardships of senior year are not something outsiders can understand. Just as Young Master Bus lyrics said. Problems are their everything; going insane is their norm! Their eyes were glued to the books, who knew the difference between early morning and night? In the face of Gaokao, there were no distinctions between top students and struggling ones; unless one had completely given up, this was their norm! "Twelve years, enduring the bitter years, like piercing ones thigh, hanging by the head from the rafters, all for the struggle of this one battle," "The comprehensive test, busy with computation, bent back beams, aspiring to be the top scholar, what does it matter if I go white overnight!" Lu Xiaobu continued to sing with great passion! The high school seniors had all stood up; the scalding blood coursing through them made it impossible to sit still! Twelve years, thats right! Young Master Bu was right, twelve years! All for this one battle! For this battle, they had sacrificed so much, so very much! June 7th, would be the time to test their efforts! Yeah, for these twelve years, no one should give up! A night of white hair, what of it?! However... Just as their blood began to boil... "Chinese, no negotiation, zhihuozheye is our forte" "English, gotta speak better than Americans" "Physics, whats that? Im stronger than Einstein" "Chemistry is a breeze, casually concocting a nuclear bomb secret recipe" "With a flick of my pen, planets collide in the universe" "Heavenly Dynastys college entrance exam students, unmatched IQs worldwide" Hearing Lu Xiaobus rap! "Pfft! Hahaha!" The third-year students couldnt hold back anymore, they sat down with a thud, bursting into laughter! "Young Master Bu is so funny!" "Young Master Bu, give me back my touched feelings." "I was just beginning to feel my blood boil!" "Secret recipe for a nuclear bomb? If I could actually make that, why would I still go to school?" "But, that last line, I love it! Heavenly Dynastys college entrance exam students, unmatched IQs worldwide!" "..." Lu Xiaobu, watching their expressions, also couldnt help but laugh. In fact, this song has a second verse. But the second verse is a bit darker. You could say, if the first verse is for the top students, the second one is for the dont-give-a-damn-anyway crowd. So here, he decided to stop! Someone asked, what if theres no second verse? Are you dumb? Just sing it again! During the musical interlude, Lu Xiaobu also activated his Magic Sound Jade Pendant. He didnt choose to protect himself alone, but chose to protect everyone! Suddenly, an invisible shield emerged However, as a result, his Magic Sound Jade Pendant went from being usable thousands of times to being usable just one more time! What a heartache! Mom sell batch, if I dont kill that death-seeking bastard, Young Master can hardly vent this frustration! Were talking about three hundred million here! But, talk is talk, the song must still be sung! But this time, its a lot happier! Lu Xiaobu: "June 7th...!" Lu Xiaobu finished the first line, snapping his fingers. Immediately someone took over! Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, such a song is catchy. Brother Hu: "Before the exam starts, my heart begins to race..." His slightly deep, magnetic voice immerses people in the moment. After finishing the second verse, Brother Hu promptly made an inviting gesture. Bingbing with a smile: "How can I forget, the tough growth..." Bingbing steps down, Chen Yijie comes up. Chen Yijie: "Twelve years, enduring the cold window..." Chen Yijies spirited voice makes this section surge with more fiery blood! Next, it turned into a full-fledged chorus! Lu Xiaobu: "Chinese, no negotiation... its your turn!" Third-year students: "Were good at zhihuozheye!" Zhou Shujing: "English..." Third-year students: "Gotta speak better than Americans!" "..." And so it continued. Each star sang one line. Students followed with the next. Watching them gaining momentum, Lu Xiaobu went to the side to drink a beverage. No way around it, he could dominate when no one else could sing. Now that they all can, his voice would be nothing but an embarrassment! Better to keep a cool demeanor, showing the magnanimous side of not competing for the spotlight! Meanwhile, basking in the appreciative gazes from the stars! Oh yeah, not bad! Moreover, Lu Xiaobu had more important things to do. "Da da da da!" With a series of footsteps... Lu Xiaobu knew, that grandson has arrived! Looks like hes very confident! Even waited for his song to finish before making a move! A curve formed on Lu Xiaobus lips. This really is... courting death! Chapter 132 Begins in Confusion, Ends in Confusion [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Begins in Confusion, Ends in Confusion [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]"Liu Changlong, so its you. I thought it was Shi Jinhao, or maybe Lin Feng." Lu Xiaobu tilted his head, looking at the person who stepped onto the stage. His enemies are not numerous, but each one of them is skilled. He had thought of Shi Jinhao, who is ruthless and amputates at crucial moments, and Lin Feng, who is powerful and unchallenged. But he never thought it would be Liu Changlong, who only uses petty tricks. "What do you mean?" Liu Changlong exploded on the spot. He was never good at hiding his feelings, especially in front of his arch-enemy. So, he considers his opponent a deadly foe, but the opponent treats him like a jumping clown? This is nothing but an insult. "Its nothing, just humiliating you." Lu Xiaobu curled his lips, bluntly said, "After all, someone like you can only resort to violence at this stage. Boring." "You!" Liu Changlong was choked by that remark and couldnt speak. He gritted his teeth and showed a ferocious expression, "Alright, I am a small fry, I only use petty tricks, today I will show you the power of my petty tricks!" "Young Master Bu, what is this?" The host Jiang Tan noticed the tension and asked worriedly. Several celebrities also stopped singing and looked at Liu Changlong warily. The high school students were okay, as they were standing below the stage and knew Liu Changlong, they were still discussing "The Cruel College Entrance Examination Strategy"! "Its okay, its okay." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, "Keep singing, Liu Young Master is here to bring us warmth." "Oh!" The celebrities were half-doubtful. Although they didnt say much, they had their bodyguards backstage quietly prepared just in case! "Bringing warmth? F*ck you..." Liu Changlong got furious. "Slap!" Lu Xiaobu didnt say another word, went up and slapped him, blocking all his words! Some things are better left unsaid. Just let the students start and finish in confusion! To prevent panic! "Spurt!" Liu Changlong spurted a mouthful of blood along with two teeth! Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu was now fully powered up, how could Liu Changlong avoid that? "You f*cking..." Liu Changlong turned his head back furiously, his eyes bloodshot! "Slap!" Lu Xiaobu backhanded him another slap, "Enough, stop blabbering, show me what youve got! Im sleepy!" Liu Changlong was almost driven mad! Isnt he supposed to be in the dominant position now? Arent all these people his? Why then is he being beaten by Lu Xiaobu? Doesnt Lu Xiaobu realize that all these people here are his? With just one command, Lu Xiaobu could be buried without a trace! But why isnt he afraid? Why!? Originally, he came prepared to humiliate Lu Xiaobu! Then in Lu Xiaobus pleas for mercy, send him to heaven! But why is the situation different from what he thought? It feels like those ridiculous anti-Japanese dramas, where the protagonist is surrounded and held at gunpoint by dozens of guns. But the protagonist somehow beats up the Japanese officers with Shaolin Kung Fu. Thats just nonsense! "Quick, quick, quick!" Lu Xiaobu with each "quick" came with a slap. He didnt have time to wait for Liu Changlong to slowly come up with a long speech. Just finish this and go home to sleep! "Ah!" The beaten Liu Changlong, looking like a pigs head, couldnt take it anymore! "Take action!" At his command, all the guards at the concert transformed into assassins, each drawing a sharp knife from their bosoms and charging at Lu Xiaobu from all directions! Liu Changlong originally wanted to use the students to threaten Lu Xiaobu, making Lu Xiaobu kneel and beg for mercy! But now, he didnt want to anymore! He just wanted to kill Lu Xiaobu! Seeing this, Lu Xiaobu nodded in satisfactionthe enemies are most worrisome when hidden in the dark, once exposed, they are no big deal! "Ah!?" The students were all dumbfounded! They hadnt even reacted yet! What just happened? Why are there so many people with knives? Zhang Meng was the first to act, dealing with the people who had sneakily approached them! He was extremely nervous, fearing for the Young Masters safety! But he was stretched too thin. Now, he could only trust what the Young Master had said before! After all, the Young Master had never lied to him! At this moment, Liu Changlong also pulled out a sharp dagger from his chest and fiercely stabbed at Lu Xiaobu. His expression was ferocious yet exhilarating: "Die!" He finally had his revenge! "Xiaobu!" Wu Qianmin screamed in terror. "Young Master!" Liang Lans pupils dilated. "Go save him!" Zhou Jingyuan yelled furiously! Then... Ding--- A crisp sound spread throughout the entire concert via the microphone! Liu Changlongs knife didnt penetrate! "Uh..." Liu Changlongs expression froze, and he incredulously looked down at the knife in his hand. Then he looked at Lu Xiaobu who was unscathed and wearing a teasing expression. "Smack!" Lu Xiaobu slapped him back: "Thats for you, lad! Instead of learning something useful, why learn to play with knives?" "Ah!" Liu Changlong lost his mind from the slap! He furiously charged at Lu Xiaobu, stabbing wildly with the dagger! But aside from the clinking sounds, not a drop of blood was seen! Liu Changlong went berserk! He couldnt accept it! He couldnt believe it! Why? Why! He was supposed to have the upper hand, yet he kept getting turned around by this Lu Xiaobu! He had accepted his losses in the past business competition! But today! He had people, he had a knife! And the knife was right there, yet he couldnt even pierce it through!? "Young Master, you really didnt lie to me!" Zhang Mengs eyes instantly filled with immense ecstasy. Now that the Young Master was safe, he could fully let loose! You bastards, none of you are getting away! He charged like a tiger into a flock of sheep right into the group of assassins! The seniors were somewhat clueless, staring blankly at the scene. Just as Lu Xiaobu had expected, they started confused and ended confused! "Eh? Whats happening?" "Is this some kind of performance?" "It seems so! I remember Young Master Bu owns a bar, where they have similar interactive performances!" "Does that mean, this is a play directed together by Liu Changlong and Young Master Bu?" "Possibly! Didnt the Young Master say before that Liu Changlong was here to bring warmth? Maybe thats what he meant." "..." The seniors discussed fervently, eventually leaning towards accepting this as a theatrical interpretation! After all, such a large-scale assassination shouldnt be something that happens in real life! Besides, Young Master Bu is famously playful! Plus, Liu Changlongs dagger that didnt draw any blood! It all seemed to only make sense as a theatrical act! Its just Young Master Bus bodyguard was a bit too fierce, hitting as if it were real! "Alright, todays performance is over. Everyone, please go back!" Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily with the microphone, while behind him, Liu Changlong was still wildly stabbing with his dagger! Since the enemies had revealed themselves, there was no worry anymore, time to eliminate them all in one go! To waste his three hundred million, if he didnt settle this account well, that would really let Liu Changle down! Chapter 133 It’s better to have one top and one bottom [Please favorite, please recommend] Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Its better to have one top and one bottom [Please favorite, please recommend]Although the previous scene was unbelievable, with everyone choosing to believe that Liu Changlong was just acting, some still harbored doubts. For instance, if Liu Changlong was really just performing, why did Lu Xiaobu slap him so ruthlessly! Also, there was the dagger that occasionally fell to the ground, which, when picked up, was discovered to be a real dagger! Moreover, Lu Xiaobus bodyguards were seriously beating those people, as if beating them to death! However, they chose not to pursue the matter. Firstly, the issue between Lu Xiaobu and Liu Changlong was not something they could interfere with. Even if they did find out something, could they really manage it? Secondly, the college entrance exam was imminent, and since everyone was unharmed and actually quite happy, why delve into unhappy matters? They werent detectives! To put it simply, if you saw a gang clash on the street, would you choose to ask them the reasons for their fight? Or would you choose to wisely leave, perhaps post about it on your Moments, and then pretend you saw nothing? Those who choose the first option, I salute you as a true man! I will remember you every Qingming Festival! ... Now that the Workers Stadium was surrounded by Zhang Benhus men, under the covert escort of Lu Xiaobus Magic Sound Jade Pendant and Zhang Benhus subordinates, the teachers, students, and celebrities left the venue safely! And the concert returned to peace. "Young Master Bu!" Zhang Benhu and Zhang Wenliang came in to greet Lu Xiaobu. Aside from these two, none of their subordinates knew they were there to see Lu Xiaobu. "En!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Zhang Benhu!" Liu Changlong, lying on the ground, had his pupils instantly dilate! Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You! HeLu Xiaobu!" He unbelievingly looked at Zhang Benhus respectful attitude, then at Lu Xiaobu, his face suffused with horror! Why? Why would Zhang Benhu, the underground king of Shimen, call Lu Xiaobu Young Master? How could this be? Even his father could not get Zhang Benhu to call him brother, let alone master! Why would someone like Lu Xiaobu... "Do you want to know?" Lu Xiaobu sat in the chair, crossed his arms, and smiled at Liu Changlong. That smile was sunny and amiable. It could even be described as heartless! But to Liu Changlong, it was suddenly as cold as an icy wind! "No! No! I dont want to know! I know nothing! I want to know nothing!" Liu Changlong cowered! Although he had come fully prepared to fight to the death today! But when he realized that his so-called desperation couldnt even make Lu Xiaobu break a sweat! The spirit of desperation had already been lost! He knew what Lu Xiaobu meant! The more you know, the faster you die! "Really dont want to know? Then forget it!" Lu Xiaobu stood up, adjusted his clothing: "Zhang Benhu, this person is up to you. We dont have the right to handle the life and death of others. He was intending to carry out a terrorist act! Leave it to the police!" "Yes!" Zhang Benhu immediately took the command! He roughly understood Young Master Bus intentions. Zhang Wenliang, however, was somewhat confused, furrowing his brows! Should they really let this person go? Wasnt this too benevolent? He remembered Young Master Bu not being such a benevolent person! Liu Changlong, however, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had made the right choice! Yes, knowing nothing, at least he could stay alive! As long as his dad was still around, he could make a comeback! And then... Just as Lu Xiaobus team was leaving, Li Qiang ran over. "The Young Master said that its not fair for Young Master Liu to be the only one squatting in the cell. Remember to arrange some company for him. As for the compensation from the Liu Family, you can hold onto it on behalf of the Young Master for now." After finishing his words, Li Qiang left. "Yes! Young Master!" Zhang Benhus smile turned cruel. He just knew the Young Master would never let this Liu Changlong off so easily. What does it mean to keep company with Young Master Liu? That means squatting in the cell together. And when, say, an accident occurs due to a quarrel, with a sudden thrust, Then they would not know what happened! And the compensation! Would the Liu Family give compensation? They would! Certainly, they will! After the "cordial and friendly talk," they will definitely comply! Zhang Wenliang shuddered all over. Sure enough, he was too naive! How could Young Master possibly let Liu Changlong off the hook. Its right though, at Young Masters level, if you still have to attend to every little detail personally, it would be too low! Liu Changlong, however, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar! Zhang Benhu understood, so how could he not understand? He frantically leaped up from the ground and ran out as if his life depended on it! He didnt want to die, didnt want to, definitely didnt want to! "Go on," Zhang Benhu waved his hand at his subordinates: "Remember to keep Liu alive, thats Young Masters order!" Meaning that, as long as hes alive, everything else is fair game. Ah A dreadful scream echoed throughout the entire stadium! ... Two days later, the day before the college entrance examination. The news broke that Liu Changlong of Shimen had been sentenced to life imprisonment for organizing a terrorist organization and committed suicide in prison out of fear for his crime! The original Liu Family was thoroughly investigated! Liu He also committed suicide out of fear for his crime! But this news was drowned out by the coverage of the college entrance examination. Almost no one noticed. By the time people began to notice that Shimen seemed to have quietly lost the Liu Family, several months had passed. In the evening, Li Qiang received a note. "Five hundred million, in the process." After reading, Li Qiang tore up the note and burned it! He knew that this was Zhang Benhu telling Young Master Bu that the compensation from the Liu Family had arrived! ... Lu Family. "Hey, Young Master, stop messing around, you have the college entrance examination tomorrow." Liang Lan said with a flushed face to Lu Xiaobu. This Young Master is really something. He insists he has the pre-exam jitters and wants them to play games with him. And so... Young Master wants to play the King game. That is, whoever draws the ghost card becomes the King and can order others to do anything. Originally this game was nothing much, why not just play! But then... Liang Lan realized that a game normally played by 8-14 people, the Young Master insisted on playing with just the three of them. That is, herself, the Young Master, and Qianmin! How are you supposed to play this? The Young Master is simply being unreasonable; whether he is the King or not, whether he wins or loses... The one who benefits is always him! Just like now... Young Master is the King again. "Okay, number one kisses number two," Lu Xiaobu commanded. Upon revealing the hidden cards, Lu Xiaobu was number two, Wu Qianmin was number one. "Hehe." Lu Xiaobu chuckled slyly, looking very pleased with himself! Wu Qianmin, biting her silvery teeth and with flushed cheeks, prepared to kiss Lu Xiaobu on the cheek... Just as her red lips were less than a centimeter away from Lu Xiaobus face... Lu Xiaobu suddenly turned his head! Mua! Well, what was supposed to be a kiss on the cheek turned into a kiss on the lips! "Lu Xiaobu!" Wu Qianmins face instantly turned crimson, she was both angry and flustered! This Lu Xiaobu is too bad! "Cough cough, continue, continue!" Lu Xiaobu spoke with an air of seriousness. Next round. Liang Lan is the King. Liang Lan thought for a moment: "Number two carries number one for a lap." Looking at the hidden cards. Liang Lan was number one, Lu Xiaobu was number two. "Hahaha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily. He went up, lifted the feverish Liang Lan, and walked! Right, one lap, two laps, three laps... Someone asked, wasnt it just for one lap? Nonsense, would you like to stop when youre being rubbed by a weapon? Not only cant you stop, but you also have to hop while walking! Up and down, thats the way to do it! Cough cough cough! Chapter 134: Top Student, Huh! Give Your Best on the Exam! [Extra for 2000 Votes] Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Top Student, Huh! Give Your Best on the Exam! [Extra for 2000 Votes]June 7th! A day that arrives every year, yet makes countless people nervous every time! People who have never experienced the college entrance exam cant understand that kind of tension! The warriors of senior year three, from the moment they open their eyes today, even starting from last night, are facing immense pressure from all sides! This includes the pressure of love from parents. The pressure of encouragement from teachers! And even more so, pressure from other brave souls who need to cross the same narrow bridge! Every senior year three student is uneasy, some with a blank mind filled with random thoughts! Some even cant withstand the pressure and burst into tears directly! Teachers, parents, and the media are all used to seeing this! ... Lu Xiaobu, who stayed up half the night playing, yawned as he arrived at the exam site, waiting for the college entrance exam to begin. Having a system, he is fearless towards the exam. He arrived at the exam site and took his seat. "Teacher," Lu Xiaobu raised his hand and asked. "Whats wrong?" "When can I hand in my paper?" "Er..." The invigilator thought there was an issue. But ended up speechless! The exam hasnt even started yet, and youre already thinking about handing in early? What are you trying to do?! The students around were also speechless! A top student who studied in another place and specifically came back to his original school for the exam chuckled upon hearing this. This top student is Wu Feng, who is sitting next to Lu Xiaobu. "Cut it out, with your attitude, why even participate in the college entrance exam?" Wu Feng disdainfully said, "Are you here to waste national resources?" It must be said, some people are naturally talented but lack morals. They just love to mock others, propping themselves up! He is now just shifting the pressure. Seeing Lu Xiaobu upset makes him particularly pleased! "Youre sick in the head!" Lu Xiaobu instantly got annoyed, "What does my question have to do with you?" "Listen to how you speak; do you sound like someone who received higher education? Nothing but swear words." Wu Fengs mockery intensified: "Im telling you, even though you are sitting next to me, dont even think about cheating off my paper!" "Oh, damn, my fiery temper!" Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but laugh angrily! Him, copy others? What a joke? "What, you want to get physical? You really look like the kind of trash who doesnt study!" Wu Feng said confidently. "Alright, the exam is about to start, both of you say less, if you keep arguing, Ill record every word!" the invigilator glared and scolded. Then the invigilator said to Lu Xiaobu, "You can hand in your paper 30 minutes into the exam, but I advise you not to do so prematurely. Check your work repeatedly to ensure you get as many correct as possible!" The words of the invigilator were well-intended, but it aligned with Wu Fengs views, clearly thinking Lu Xiaobu was here to fool around! "Alright, alright." Lu Xiaobu waved it off, choosing not to argue further. After all, there were not just the two of them in the exam site, but other candidates too! Otherwise, with his temper, he would have slapped someone by now! Putting on airs for what! But he held back, and Wu Feng became even more arrogant. "Teacher, I request you to pay more attention to this side, so nobody cheats while Im not paying attention!" Although Wu Feng didnt name names, he was obviously talking about Lu Xiaobu! "Stop talking!" The invigilator glared at Wu Feng, clearly finding him too much! This really angered Lu Xiaobu! When had he ever been wronged like this? Fine, youre the great one, huh! Lets see how great you do on the exam later! Lu Xiaobu was so angry he nearly jumped up! Ding-ding-ding As the sound of the bell and the college entrance exam rituals ended. The college entrance exam officially began! Lu Xiaobus pen immediately started moving quickly on the answer sheet. First major question, the second major question, the third major question! He wrote down the answers to each question accurately! This time the system worked flawlessly! Soon, Lu Xiaobus pen reached the essay part! As soon as he finished the essay, his first subject exam would be complete! ... "Whew!" Wu Feng let out a sigh of relief, he finally finished the second major question. He smiled confidently to himselfChinese was his stronger subject after all, and in this examination hall, no one could write faster than him! Then, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiaobu beside him. He wanted to see if this poor student was still struggling with the first question! Poor students will always be poor students! And then... He was stunned! Because, he actually saw Lu Xiaobu had already started on the essay! Damn! How is that possible? Writing an essay, how long has it been? Even for him, he had just finished the second major question! How could this poor student possibly...? But soon, he figured it out! Hmph, I knew it! This poor student must have planned to write the essay first! That makes sense! After all, for top students like himself, essays are where one can easily lose points. But for poor students, essays are the easiest way to score. After all, even if they write nonsense, they will still get some points! Realizing this, Wu Feng calmed down and continued to work on his answers! ... Tick tock, tick tock... Another ten minutes passed! It had been half an hour since the test started! Wu Feng looked at his test paper and nodded in satisfaction. This is the standard of a top student, look at how perfectly these questions are answered! He estimated that even including the essay, he would only need one and a half hours at most! Then, he could review his answers and hand in his paper early! To really scare these poor students! Let them know the gap between them and a top student! And besides, he heard that there were many reporters at the entrance, if he were the first to leave the exam hall! Wow, he would become famous! The thought was just too wonderful. Thinking of this, he couldnt help but glance again at Lu Xiaobu beside himHmph, the glory of a top student, these poor students will never understand... Damn! Wu Feng almost cursed out loud! What the hell, did he see what was happening? This poor student was actually raising his hand to hand in the paper early?! Is he crazy?! At this moment, Wu Feng had completely lost interest in answering the questions, he couldnt help but look toward Lu Xiaobu. The proctor walked over to Lu Xiaobu and asked softly, "Whats the matter?" "Handing in the paper." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. "Um...you should check it again!" The proctor advised. He didnt want to see someone ruin their future on a whim! "Ive finished writing and checked everything." Lu Xiaobu said confidently. "Alright!" The proctor sighed with a feeling of frustration but had no choice but to agree. He picked up the test paper and glanced over it. Result! His pupils dilated instantly! Everything was answered! Whether they were correct or not, just filling in answers for each question plus an essay is not something that can be done in half an hour, right? "Oh, right, let me check if I signed it." Lu Xiaobu made up an excuse to take back the test paper. Then, purposefully in front of Wu Feng, he flipped the test paper. Letting the densely written, neat test paper flash past in front of Wu Fengs eyes. Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Watching Wu Fengs pupils dilate instantly. Lu Xiaobu smirked insideTop student, huh? Just focus on your test! Then, he handed the test paper back to the proctor, disdainfully saying, "Teacher, this top student next to me seems to be peeking at my paper!" Chapter 135: Please Accept My Kneeling Admiration [4th Update, Please Favorite and Recommend] Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Please Accept My Kneeling Admiration [4th Update, Please Favorite and Recommend]The proctor couldnt help but laugh and cry upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words. Of course, he could tell that Lu Xiaobu was doing it on purpose. But as the proctor, he had to show his stance! "That student there, please concentrate on your own paper." The proctor said to Wu Feng in a tone that was neither too harsh nor too soft. sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The moment these words were spoken, Wu Feng quickly shifted his gaze back to his own exam paper. However, he was sweating cold sweat by now! The feeling of fear kept welling up inside him. He had been reprimanded by the proctor! Would this be recorded? Surely he wouldnt really be mistaken for cheating! He truly hadnt cheated! His mind was a mess, and even after drinking several sips of water, he couldnt calm his nerves. Lu Xiaobus mouth curved into an arcI told you to focus on your test! Although students are allowed to hand in their papers early during the college entrance examination, they are not allowed to leave the examination site and must be accompanied by a staff member to rest in a designated rest area. Also, all electronic devices are prohibited. So, after confirming that there were no issues with Lu Xiaobus paper, a proctor came to the entrance of the examination room waiting for him, prepared to accompany him to the rest area. As soon as he left the examination room, he was immediately spotted by reporters waiting at the school gate! Despite the considerable distance, their cameras were still aimed at Lu Xiaobu, capturing the first person to leave the examination room! They had already thought of the headlines. "Handing in the Paper After Half an Hour, Confidence or Resignation?" "The First Student to Leave the Examination Room This Year, With a Swaggering Expression" "Feigning Confidence or Fearlessness of the Brave?" "..." Parents of the candidates also had much to say. "Hey, someone has come out already!" "Could be theyve lost confidence!" "I guess so, the kind of student who doesnt do well, Ive told my son, no handing in the paper early!" "Exactly, showing off at a critical moment is really not worth it!" "..." Liang Lan couldnt stand it any longer and spoke with a sneer, "Enough, thats our Young Master Bu." Upon this remark. The chatter ceased instantly! "Uh...*cough cough*, so its Young Master Bu! No wonder!" "Of course, of course, Young Master Bu will definitely be fine." "Yeah, maybe Young Master Bu will be the top scorer this time!" "..." The crowd awkwardly tried to backpedal! Once they heard it was Lu Xiaobu, they all relaxed! What difference would it make whether Lu Xiaobu did well or not? He was already at the top of the Newcomer Rich List during his senior year. For them, the college entrance exam is a moment to change their fate. But for him, its just something utterly inconsequential! Out of their league, out of their league! Even the reporters silently deleted the photos and news. Such news was meaningless! ... Lu Xiaobu followed the proctor to a designated rest area. Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Lu Xiaobus examination room was in Shimen First Middle School. So... In the rest area, Lu Xiaobu took out a lounge chair, cola, chips, paperback novel, and all sorts of essential items like an old hand. Then, under the proctors dumbfounded gaze... He lay on the lounge chair, sipping cola, eating snacks, reading a novel. The proctor was going crazy! Come on! Young Master Bu! Are you here for the college entrance exam or on a vacation? Enjoying food, drinks, and entertainment all in one go? And whats with the lounge chair? Why would the school have such a thing? But as the proctor, he must ensure that no one in this room had any way to leak the questions! So... He pulled up a small stool and sat beside Lu Xiaobu, reading a novel together. "Here!" Lu Xiaobu threw a bottle of cola to the invigilator and continued reading his novel. "Thank you, Young Master Xiaobu." The invigilator happily inserted a straw and sat aside, starting to read the novel with Lu Xiaobu! Indeed, being with Young Master Bu comes with benefits! Gradually, some of the other students who had finished their exams early also gathered around the invigilator. Suddenly! The disparity was all too clear! They sat on hard wooden benches. Lu Xiaobu lounged in a recliner! They discussed exam questions with rumbling stomachs. Lu Xiaobu read his novel while sipping cola. Their invigilators watched them like hawks. Lu Xiaobus invigilator read the novel in a friendly manner! The students resentment almost burst through the roof! This difference was just too huge! Comparing people can be lethal, comparing goods can make you throw yours away! They swore they wouldnt hand in their papers early in the afternoons exam. It was torture inside the exam hall, and even more so out here! Better to choose the lesser of two evils and stay in the exam hall a bit longer! Enough said, any more would just bring tears! ... Time flew by quickly. The first exam was over. It was time to collect the papers. Lu Xiaobu didnt need to stay here anymore, he could leave. "Teacher, please collect my things and keep them safe, Ill need them in the afternoon," instructed Lu Xiaobu to the invigilator. "No worries, leave it to me!" The invigilator nodded in response. "Right, I wont give out any rewards during the Gaokao period, to avoid any gossip." Lu Xiaobu stretched languidly, yawning as he left the classroom. It was just after eleven oclock. The next exam wasnt until three, which meant there were four hours of boring time ahead. He reached the entrance. The other students hadnt come out yet. All eyes were on Lu Xiaobu alone. "Young Master Bu, what shall we have for lunch?" asked Liang Lan, wiping the sweat from Lu Xiaobus forehead. "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment: "Lets go for Peking Duck." "Okay, Ill go buy some," Li Jin immediately said. "No need, well go to Imperial to eat," Lu Xiaobu arranged: "Li Jin, call Quanjude and reserve a table. Well go now, eat, and come back right after." The parents and journalists around were speechless! Are you kidding? Just for a Peking Duck, youd take a trip to Imperial? Is it necessary? And is there even enough time? A parent nearby couldnt help but speak up: "Young Master Bu, the high-speed train from Shimen to Imperial takes an hour and a half to arrive, and I think theres no train departing at this hour, right?" "Oh? High-speed train departure times? I dont know about that. Im going by plane," said Lu Xiaobu, scratching his head. "Plane... plane... plane... plane?" The parent was dumbfounded: "There doesnt seem to be any direct flights from Shimen to Imperial, right?" "Oh, my private plane," Lu Xiaobu gestured dismissively: "Enough talk, Im off." The crowd watched Lu Xiaobus retreating figure in silence. Ah... plane, private plane! So, you bought a private plane just to go to Imperial for a meal of Peking Duck? Just wondering, how many meals of Peking Duck could the cost of a round trip in your private plane buy? In a flash! Tears couldnt help but fill their eyes! Sorry, Young Master Bu, our poverty-stricken imaginations are too limited to comprehend the life of the rich! Young Master Bu, is it your knees you want? Heres a years supply, please accept it! What? You dont want it? No, no, no, please, you must take it! Chapter 136: Obliged to Help a Friend [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Obliged to Help a Friend [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]After having a delicious Peking duck meal, Lu Xiaobu returned to the exam hall before the afternoon exams started. "Oh hey, what a coincidence, running into you who copied my paper again." Lu Xiaobu sat down and said to Wu Feng sitting next to him. Instantly Wu Fengs face turned green! "When did I copy your paper?" Wu Feng said, fuming with rage. He was nearly driven mad by Lu Xiaobu. Because he was called out by the proctor during the mornings Chinese test, his mental state had completely blown up. The paper, which he had planned to finish in an hour and a half, dragged on until the very end when the papers were being collected! He didnt even have time to review his answers! "Dont try to play dumb, I saw it all." Lu Xiaobu scoffed and then said to the proctor: "Teacher, I hope you pay more attention here, to prevent this Wu Feng next to me from always peeping!" This kid dared to beat around the bush this morning, accusing me of copying! Im going to be straightforward this afternoon and say you copied! Beating around the bush? I scorn it! Im telling you upfront! Im talking about you! "You!" Wu Feng felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face! A burning pain! "What me?" Lu Xiaobu raised his hand: "Teacher, this Wu Feng is threatening me. Im so scared!" "Alright, both of you quiet down a bit, Wu Feng, let me remind you again, pay attention to the exam hall discipline." The proctor made the judgment. Wu Feng felt terrible, he wanted to die! But he couldnt say a word! "Hmph! Trying to fight with me!" Lu Xiaobu scoffed. ... Dinglingling The math exam began! Still striding energetically, still flowing effortlessly! For Lu Xiaobu, math was even simpler than Chinese. After all, math was mostly symbols and didnt require too much text. So, as usual, it took him only half an hour to finish the test. Again, a knife was plunged into Wu Fengs heart. In the break room. The teacher from the morning had already prepared everything: lounge chairs, cola, chips, novels, and more! The two continued to sit there reading novels, living the good life! ... June 8th! Five oclock in the afternoon! The Gaokao was over! The celebration night for the examinees began! Many students ripped their books and practice papers to shreds! Snowflakes fluttered all over the sky! The students faces were filled with a mixture of joy and sorrow. But no matter what, liberation was true! No matter whether they were going to university or stepping into society, it wouldnt be more torturous than before! If not celebrate now, when? Immediately, in groups of threes and fives, after saying goodbye to their parents, they flooded into the streets. Dining, drinking, singing, and clubbing. Today, celebrating was the main theme! As for Lu Xiaobu, of course, he went with the flow! He decided to experience this night of celebration as an ordinary senior high school student. However... "Xiaobu, come to Imperial." Zhou Jingyuan made the call right over. She was back in Imperial for exams. "Uh... whats up? Im about to head out and pick up girls." Lu Xiaobu answered the phone, his face full of reluctance. "Today, my family is holding a gathering for me, and I want you to come over!" Little Chili spoke assertively. "Not going. Your whole big family, whats it to me if I go?" Lu Xiaobu shook his head. "If you come over, Ill give you an oil massage!" Zhou Jingyuan had long figured out Lu Xiaobus temperament! She immediately offered the bait. "Wait for me!" Lu Xiaobu declared righteously, "Really, why say such things among friends? Its my undeniable duty!" Then... "Cough cough, which oil will you use? Hands wont be enough to show friendship," Lu Xiaobu whispered. "Youll find out when you come over..." Zhou Jingyuan giggled, her laugh was captivating! "Lets go." Lu Xiaobu gestured grandly: "For a friend, Id climb mountains and seas of fire, its my undeniable duty!" ... An hour later. Lu Xiaobus challenger plane landed at the Imperial airport! He had already been here yesterday, so he was quite familiar with the place. Getting off the plane, he walked out of the airport. Wu Qianmin and Li Qiang couldnt follow because of family reasons. So, this time there were only Lu Xiaobu, Liang Lan, Zhang Meng, and Li Jin. "Xiaobu, over here." Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhou Jingyuan waved and called out. Today, she was wearing a white dress. You could tell it was tailor-made, not just because of the fine embroidery on it. Most importantly, if it were bought, where would you find such a dress that is made so ample at the chest! The designer definitely did it on purpose! "Haha, a day apart feels as long as three autumns, come here, lets have a hug of love." Lu Xiaobu opened his arms, ready to embrace her fully. "Scram." Zhou Jingyuan dodged nimbly, laughing: "Youre still such a lech." "Youre still so vulgar." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "A girl, always swearing and fighting." "None of your business." Zhou Jingyuan pouted: "Come on, everythings ready." "Tell me clearly first, why did you call me here?" Lu Xiaobu inquired: "Youre definitely scheming something." "Scheming you? Have I ever managed to scheme you?" Zhou Jingyuan shrugged: "Actually, its nothing big, I called you here to slap faces." "Whose face are we slapping?" Lu Xiaobu was startled: "Isnt this your family gathering?" "Yeah, its a family gathering, but a lot of annoying people will be coming," Zhou Jingyuan gritted her teeth, a fierce glint in her eyes: "So, your mission today is, apart from my family, hit anyone you see, make sure to swell each of their faces!" "Slapping faces is what I like best." Lu Xiaobu was instantly delighted, then rubbed his hands: "But if I..." "Its fine, I know." Zhou Jingyuans pretty face suddenly blushed, then she quickly regained her composure, walking behind Lu Xiaobu, she leaned in gently and rubbed up and down: "A little interest in advance, if you do well, the reward will be much richer!" "No problem, Ive said before, for a friend Id go through fire and water!" Lu Xiaobu felt the significant softness against his back, he he he laughed, making his point righteously. Then... "Little Chili, tell me the truth, are you not wearing a bra? Feels like theres a bump!" Lu Xiaobu asked in a whisper. "Ill bite you to death!" Zhou Jingyuans face, which had just regained its composure, turned red in an instant: "Mind your own business." Lu Xiaobu touched his chinHehe, definitely no mistake, if later I complete the task, cough cough... What are you all thinking? Go face the wall, hurry up! The group walked out of the airport. Approaching Zhou Jingyuans car. "Yuanyuan, is this the person you came to pick up?" A dandy-looking rich young master approached, his face carrying a frivolous smile: "Doesnt look like much!" "Get lost, Wang Gou, its none of your business," Zhou Jingyuans expression darkened. "How is it not my business? If Yuanyuan, you keep mingling with such people, your taste might drop, you know. And then, if I start disliking you, youll be so sad!" Wang Gous smile grew more flirtatious, his words increasingly obnoxious. Lu Xiaobu touched his chinseems like the first face-slapping candidate has appeared? Chapter 138 Zhou Family [Shangzhai Xiaoa Dream Million Reward Plus Update] Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Zhou Family [Shangzhai Xiaoa Dream Million Reward Plus Update]Zhou Jingyuan and Lu Xiaobu said goodbye to Wang Gou and then started walking towards Xiaobus home. And as they got closer to the Zhou Family residence, Lu Xiaobu keenly noticed that the fiery chili pepper Zhou Jingyuan was gradually disappearing, becoming more and more dignified. And with that disappearance, the smile on her face vanished, even a hint of fear flickering in her eyes. This caused Lu Xiaobus brow to furrow. So this feisty chili pepper is actually afraid of something. But before he had the chance to ask... They had already arrived! It was an ancient-looking courtyard house. This courtyard, with its antique charm, showed no sign of modernization, like a Shangri-La amidst the steel jungle of the city. But clearly in this era, its impossible to say that no one uses modern electrical appliances. So theres only one possibility: this courtyard has been meticulously sculpted by craftsmen to erase all traces of modernization! For the Zhou Family to own a standalone, delicately managed courtyard house in the center of Imperial City, their power and influence were obvious. At this moment, the entrance to the Zhou residence was filled with various luxury cars like Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Bugatti Veyrons, and more, displaying an overwhelming presence. "Clang clang!" Before they could park, Zhou Jingyuans car window was violently knocked upon. This was a burly old maid who knocked while shouting: "My young lady! Hurry up! The old master is already angry! He just scolded me, saying I shouldnt have let you go out on my own!" Zhou Jingyuan showed a wry smile, opened the car door, and stepped out: "Mom Wang, here I am back!" "Lets go!" Wang Gou grabbed Zhou Jingyuans hand and hurried toward the Zhou residence. "Mom Wang, wait, let me say a word to my friend," Zhou Jingyuan said with a bit of struggle. "Whats there to say! No more talking, hurry up! Miss, if the old master really gets angry later, itll all be too late! By then, I bet your friend wont have a good time either!" Wang Gou exerted a bit more strength in her hand, causing the unprepared Zhou Jingyuan to stumble. Hearing Mom Wangs words, Zhou Jingyuan no longer resisted and obediently followed her. But she turned back and cast a pitiful look at Lu Xiaobu, her mouth opened as if to speak, but no words came out. From the moment Mom Wang knocked on the car window to when Zhou Jingyuan was pulled away, only a few seconds passed. And in that time, Lu Xiaobu hadnt yet understood what was happening when Zhou Jingyuan was already taken away! But that last look she gavehe saw it! That look, sharp as a knife, deeply pierced his heart. This always fiery and fearless chili pepper, what had happened to her today? "Lets go, go inside," Lu Xiaobu glanced at the imposing Zhou residence and said to Liang Lan and the other two people. Initially, he was just keeping a playful attitude, but it seemed that today he might really have to play the part of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven and cause a scene in heaven! Upon reaching the entrance. "Ladies and gentlemen, please halt, kindly display your invitations." Lu Xiaobu and his group were politely stopped by the security guard at the door. The Zhou Family were not only wealthy in property but in businesses as well. The security guards at the door, elite guards dressed in black suits with headsets, had a distinguished air about them. Its said that those security guards have an annual salary of over a million, surpassing many high-level white-collar workers. "We dont have invitations, Miss Zhou invited us over," Liang Lan stepped forward and said. "Sorry, without an invitation, please wait to the side until the person who invited you can come and fetch you," The security guards words remained polite, but they carried an undertone of impatience. The entire Imperial City knew that today was Miss Zhous engagement ceremony. Thus, there will always be those who try to bluff their way in by hiring a few impostors claiming to be from noble families. Really, if youre going to hire help, at least hire a few more people, having just three is so poor! "Didnt you see us getting off Zhou Jingyuans car just now?" Lu Xiaobu frowned, whats this all about? "Sorry, we didnt see that. If Miss Zhou really invited you, please give her a call and ask her to come out to meet you." The bodyguard continued to block the way. But his tone was still very polite and showed good manners. At this time, a middle-aged man got out of a Maybach, wearing a Swiss watch, a Herms belt, and exuding wealth, walked over. He glanced at Lu Xiaobu and sneered: "Young man, the Zhou Familys doors arent something you can just walk into whenever you want. It took me twenty years of struggle to earn the right to walk through these gates with dignity, and you, go struggle for twenty years before talking about it." After saying this, the middle-aged man walked up, arm in arm with a woman dressed in a cheongsam, with delicate makeup, her chin held high, and her face full of arrogance, like a proud canary. "Director Li, you have arrived, please come inside." The bodyguard obviously recognized Director Li and hurried to greet him. Lu Xiaobus face showed a trace of impatience. These bodyguards can be said to be doing their duty! But that so-called Director Li, quite arrogant, huh! This scene made Liang Lans face darken. Director Li, is it! She narrowed her eyes and took out her phone, fiddling with it. Those familiar with her knew that Liang Lan was looking up information on this so-called Director Li! Dare to look down on Young Master Bu? And at that moment. A girl came over and asked, "Are you from Shimen?" Lu Xiaobu turned around and saw a woman in her twenties, dressed in a professional suit, flesh-colored stockings, and looking incredibly capable, getting out of a Maserati, slamming the car door, and throwing the keys to the bodyguard. The whole set of moves was effortlessly stylish, and one could faintly see what Zhou Jingyuan would look like when she grew up. If its not unexpected, this should be a relative of Zhou Jingyuan. The bodyguard took the car keys from the woman and hurriedly greeted: "Miss, good day!" "Xiao Li, you park the car today, remember to park it in spot number one." "..." The previously stern-faced bodyguards were now vying to please this woman. Clearly, this woman held a high position in the Zhou Family. This woman was none other than the Zhou Familys MissZhou Jingya. "Yeah, from Shimen." Seeing the beautiful woman, a bit of Lu Xiaobus impatience dissipated. sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Nice, easy on the eyes. That little girl Zhou Jingyuan will probably turn out this way when she grows up. Of course, when it comes to weapons, Zhou Jingyuans are much bigger! "Then go on in," Zhou Jingya said casually: "Its normal for the little sister to have a few friends here. You can talk to her and make her happy." After speaking, Zhou Jingya walked in with large strides, not giving Lu Xiaobu another glance. Hearing Zhou Jingyas words, the bodyguards no longer stopped them. "Since the Miss said so, go on in." "Youre really lucky." Lu Xiaobu didnt bother to fuss with these bodyguards and strode into the Zhou Family. Since he came specifically to slap faces, let that so-called Director Li be the first! However, just because he didnt bother with the bodyguards didnt mean Zhang Meng and Li Jin wouldnt take issue with the bodyguards! Chapter 139: Erasing 20 Years [4th update, please favorite, please recommend] Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Erasing 20 Years [4th update, please favorite, please recommend]Lu Xiaobu strode into the Zhou Familys residence. Behind him, Zhang Meng and Li Jin exchanged a glance, and Zhang Meng nodded slightly, signaling permission. S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhang Meng followed Lu Xiaobu forward, while Li Jin trailed a few steps behind. Suddenly, he flipped his hand and pulled out a few seeds from his pocket. Then, he imbued True Qi onto the seeds and flicked them out with his fingers. "Snap!" The two True Qi-infused seeds fiercely struck the bodyguards knees! "Thud!" The bodyguard immediately buckled at the knees and fell to the ground. "Old Li, whats wrong with you?" "Yeah, why did you kneel down?" "Get up! Today is an important day, what are you doing? Are you embarrassing our master?" "..." The bodyguard named Old Li stood up, furious: "Who! Who ambushed me!?" Seeing this scene, Li Jin revealed a smilejust a little punishment suffices! Ever since the Young Master gave him the Green Emperor Longevity Technique, he had been diligently cultivating. Now, he had finally made some initial progress. That was a minor application of the Green Emperor Longevity Technique. After all, Lu Xiaobu, who had learned it for less than a day, could make a withered tree blossom. Naturally, he could also use some small tricks! Actually, with his current level of cultivation, ordinary cultivation techniques couldnt allow True Qi to leave the body. However, the system-provided Green Emperor Longevity Technique was different from ordinary techniques. Thus, Li Jin could use items like seeds to temporarily carry True Qi, thereby unleashing powerful force! ... Lu Xiaobu entered the Zhou Familys courtyard. Previously, a person named Mr. Li was chatting while holding a canary. Seeing Lu Xiaobu coming in, his brows immediately furrowed. He had just said to let this kid struggle for twenty years before coming back, yet here he was. Was this slapping his face? Then, he walked up to Lu Xiaobu, holding the canary. "Kid, I dont know how you sneaked in here." Mr. Li disdainfully said, "Really, I suggest you just obediently leave. Even if you sneaked in, the people here arent someone you can talk to, spare yourself the embarrassment!" "Li Cheng?" Liang Lan spoke up. "Do you know me?" Li Cheng replied. "Li Cheng, from Dongjiang, thirty-five years old, ranked number ten on Dongjiangs rich list, mainly engaged in electronics business, currently secured an exclusive agency of Jueying Company in Dongjiang, expected to move up the rich list by the end of the year." Liang Lan stepped forward, calmly revealing the intelligence she had just gathered. Hearing her words, the surrounding people immediately gasped. They all began to curry favor with Li Cheng. "My goodness, its Mr. Li! I wondered why he looked familiar!" "Without this beautiful lady mentioning it, I wouldnt have dared recognize him!" "Yes, to have secured the exclusive agency of Jueying, thats a gold mine!" "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, come over here! How did you secure the agency of Jueying? Share it with everyone!" "I searched through many channels but couldnt secure it!" "..." "Well, quite discerning, arent you? How about working with me? I guarantee you wont be treated unfairly." Li Cheng, hearing Liang Lans words and the compliments from the crowd, immediately revealed a pleased smile. Securing that gold mine from Jueying was his proudest achievement. He had been looking for an opportunity to brag about it himself. But unexpectedly, it came out from someone elses mouth. This was even better, sparing him the need to boast himself! "Young Master, I request to revoke Li Chengs exclusive agency rights, and let the Zhou Family in Dongjiang take over, how about that?" Liang Lan completely ignored Li Cheng, speaking directly to Lu Xiaobu. "Alright, blacklist him, and remind the Zhou Family to ensure that all stores under Li Chengs name are prohibited from selling Jueying products." Lu Xiaobu nodded slightly, speaking calmly. "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded. "Who are you! How can you be so bold? To revoke my Jueying agency rights?" Li Chengs face instantly fell. Just now, I thought this woman had insight and looks, and could be taken back. Now looking at it, she is totally a lunatic! The agency rights were contractually signed, you cant just say you wont give them! Then... His phone rang. Li Cheng saw that it was a call from Li Xide, the boss of Jueying Company. He was suddenly startled, feeling a bad premonition. He picked up the phone with trembling hands. "Hello, Li Cheng, right? Your agency contract has been terminated, and the penalty has been transferred to your card. Please remove all Jueying phones from the shelves within 24 hours, or else we will sue you," Li Xide said straightforwardly. "What?!" Li Cheng was completely stunned, pupils dilated in shock! What? The agency rights have really been cancelled!? How is that possible? What bullshit penalty is that, how much money is it anyway! What hes losing is a goldmine! "Dont, dont! Mr. Li, lets talk this over, what did I do wrong? Can you tell me, please?!" Li Cheng desperately clung to the phone, pleading. Now this is the market, aside from Jueying phones, other phones are hardly sellable! And he primarily deals in electronics, what if Jueying blacklists him! Then forget about trying to climb up the rich list by the end of the year. He couldnt even hold onto the top ten! "What did you do? Do you really not understand?" Li Xide scoffed coldly and hung up the phone. Li Cheng, listening to the beep on the phone, was completely dumbfounded! Suddenly! He understood! "It was you! You guys!" Li Cheng looked at Liang Lan and Lu Xiaobu in front of him in horror: "You are people from the Lu Family?!" "Does it matter to you?" Lu Xiaobu sneered dismissively: "Anyway, I need to struggle for twenty years before I can even talk to you, so come back and ask this question after twenty years!" Want me to struggle for twenty years? Then Ill erase your twenty years of struggle! "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, please spare me! I was wrong, I was wrong, I underestimated you!" Li Chengs mind went blank, and he was sweating profusely. The people of the Lu Family! The people of the Lu Family! He had actually provoked the people of the Lu Family! Now the entire mobile phone market depends on the favor of the Lu Family, and he dared to push it to this extent! He regretted it so much, regretting it to the core! Struggle for another twenty years? With just a phone call, they could render his twenty years of effort futile! The people around also realized. "Damn! The Lu Family! The Shimens richest, the Lu Family?!" "Its the Lu Family, Young Master Lu, please have a seat!" "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, may I ask what are the conditions for Jueying phones agency rights?" "..." As for Li Cheng, nobody paid attention to him anymore. A electronics company blacklisted by Jueying, could there be any way out? Really courting death, of all people to provoke, it had to be your fates master! And at this moment, the group of bodyguards at the door also guessed that it was Lu Xiaobus people who had done this! After all, aside from them, no one had entered. They immediately became furious and were about to confront Lu Xiaobu! Then... As they entered, they heard everyones discussion. The bodyguards looked at each other, utterly frightened. The Lu Family! The richest of Shimen, the Lu Family! They actually stopped people from the Lu Family at the door! Damn! A gaggle of bodyguards hurriedly slinked back to stand guard at the door! Yeah, looking down on people with dogs eyes, they were part of it too! Chapter 140: The Indifferent Trade【3000 Extra Votes】 Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The Indifferent Trade3000 Extra VotesFrom the moment everyone knew that Lu Xiaobu was from the Lu Family, he instantly became the protagonist in the entire hall. Everyone was trying to establish connections. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was well known that Jueying was like a barrel of gold sitting right there. If you dont dig, others will! Even if one couldnt secure the agency rights for Jueying, having good relations with the Lu Family was a no-loss deal. After all, the Lu Family was the richest family in Shimen. Which leading family in its region wasnt exceptional? Even including the Zhou Family, they wouldnt dare to completely ignore the authority of the Lu Family. After all, although the Zhou Family was not a top-tier family, there was no doubt they were powerful in Imperial, but in Shimen, it might just be split evenly! At this moment, "Hey, who is this? Stealing my limelight." At this time, a group of people walked in, with one leading the crowd, half-jokingly and half-seriously said. One could see this person, with a handsome appearance, a tall figure, moving with the power and grace of a dragon, clearly a person accustomed to giving orders from a higher position. The people around him immediately began to congratulate him. "The guest of honor has arrived! Congratulations, congratulations!" "Congratulations, Mr. Wei, on winning the beauty today!" "You make us envious!" "..." "Hahaha, congratulations to you too." Wei Yiqing, hearing the congratulations from those around him, immediately adopted an owners attitude and laughed heartily. Thats right, he was supposed to be the protagonist today; how could someone else steal his thunder? "Are you the one engaged to Zhou Jingyuan?" Lu Xiaobu turned around, looking towards this Wei Yiqing. It seems that in order to solve the problem, whatever the reason, this guy was one of the keys. "What? From your look, it seems youre unhappy!" Wei Yiqing looked at Lu Xiaobu, his face wearing the arrogant smile of a victor: "I guess you must be one of Zhou Jingyuans pursuers! I wont bother about the past, but from today onwards, I hope you stay away from my woman." "Your woman? Not necessarily!" A clear and beautiful voice suddenly came. "Whos talking nonsense..." Wei Yiqing instantly became furious, but when he looked at the speaker, he immediately softened, "Well, Jingya sister, what do you mean by this?" The speaker was none other than Zhou Jingya whom they had just seen at the door! She had changed into casual clothes, no longer having that professional air, yet still carrying an imperious aura. "What do I mean? Theres no special meaning, since my Zhou Family is looking for a marriage alliance, then why not seek a better one?" Zhou Jingya spoke in a business-like tone, as if handling official matters. "I dont quite understand." Wei Yiqing showed an embarrassed smile. His face was losing dignity. Those words were problematic! "Theres nothing hard to understand. If we can draw in Lu Xiaobu, ranked first on the Newcomer Rich List, and gain the support of the Lu Family in Shimen by connecting through an illegitimate younger sister, this deal is much more profitable than an alliance with your Wei Family." Zhou Jingya turned her head to Lu Xiaobu: "Im not wrong, am I, Lu Xiaobu." Her tone was extremely cold, so cold that it made people shiver. In her tone, Zhou Jingyuan, a living person, was evidently a piece of merchandise used for trading. Her attitude was completely like that of someone who would give the merchandise to whoever offered the highest price. This caused Lu Xiaobus expression to suddenly darken. Previously he thought this royal sister was quite pleasing to the eye, but now, she seemed simply disgusting! Meanwhile, the surrounding guests were exclaiming in shock. "Lu Xiaobu? Could this be that infamous Lu Xiaobu..." "Dont talk nonsense! What infamous? This is Lu Xiaobu, ranked first on the Newcomer Rich List, also known as Young Master Lu." "Right, right, Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu!" "Young Master Lu, never thought that youd grace us with your presence!" "It seems like today Wei Yiqing is going to be embarrassed. The Zhou Family will surely choose Young Master Lu who tops the Newcomer Rich List!" "Just now they said Wei Yiqing would be bringing home a beauty, now it looks like its time to congratulate Young Master Lu." "..." These harsh words pierced through Wei Yiqings ears, turning his face alternately green and white! "Zhou Family, dont push people too far. This engagement was set a long time ago; what do you mean by going back on your word now? Do you think the Wei Family is easy to bully?" Under a burst of anger, Wei Yiqing stopped using his polite tone from just moments ago and escalated things to the level of family. "The Wei Family really isnt up to par. We only agreed to this alliance thinking we might make a bit of profit. Now that theres a better option, why should we still choose you?" Zhou Jingyas tone was as indifferent as ever. "And your Zhou Family, arent you afraid of losing face by going back on your word at the last minute?" Wei Yiqing was so angry he was lost for words! He came today expecting to become a son-in-law, but before it could even happen, he was openly cuckolded! Who could tolerate this? How could he tolerate it? "Losing face? Not at all! Its just a bastard child." Zhou Jingya scoffed, "Alright, Im done listening to you." Then she looked at Lu Xiaobu: "Lu Xiaobu, what do you say? Dont worry, the Zhou Family doesnt bully people as long as our business is negotiated well. Whether you see her as a lover or a venting tool, we wont interfere and wont force you to marry her formally." "Have you no humanity? Zhou Jingyuan is a person, not merchandise!" Liang Lan, listening to this, felt her chest swell with anger, although she and Zhou Jingyuan were not very close, even having a rival-like relationship. However, even she couldnt bear to see a perfectly fine girl being treated like merchandise, being traded around. And this woman, as Zhou Jingyuans sister, could be so heartless, or perhaps heartless isnt enough to describe her! Is she even human?! "Tian Jilan, right? Ive heard all about you." Zhou Jingya looked at Liang Lan and smiled coldly: "However, I am speaking to your master, so youd better shut up." Her eyes piercingly stared at Lu Xiaobu: "Lu Xiaobu, I need your answer." "Answer? If you insist, heres your answer!" Lu Xiaobu stared back fearlessly: "Today, I will take Zhou Jingyuan with me, but not through any transaction. My person, I will take her away, understand?!" "Pfft!" Zhou Jingya suddenly laughed, so cheerily, so brilliantly, so disgustingly! "People say Lu Xiaobu is a good-for-nothing wastrel; I never believed it, after all, in those big deals of the Lu Family, your shadow Lu Xiaobu was always behind." "But seeing you today, it seems I thought too much." "You actually want to take my bastard sister away from my Zhou Family? Are you out of your mind? This is the Zhou Family; this is the Imperial, truly a brainless fool." "Since you disagree, then Wei Yiqing, shes still yours, the deal proceeds!" Zhou Jingyas tone was light, yet her words were harsh. As if that high and mighty queen, who commands everything, was announcing her verdict. Lu Xiaobu was amused, amused with anger. What a strange and incredible world! He, who possesses all the knowledge and system of Earth, to be outdone by a mere woman! Its hard to say whether to call her a frog in a well or someone who cant recognize Mount Tai! Zhou Jingyuan, I promised I wouldnt slap your familys face, but obviously, they are asking for it! Not take you? Today, I will take you away, lets see who dares to fart! Chapter 141: Killing One Hundred with One [Request for Favorites, Request for Recommendations] Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Killing One Hundred with One [Request for Favorites, Request for Recommendations]Wei Yiqing had just arrived, and the Zhou Family was naturally preparing to bring out Zhou Jingyuan. So as the conversation reached this point, the Zhou family members led Zhou Jingyuan out. At this moment, Zhou Jingyuan was exquisitely made up, dressed in luxurious garments, like a delicate porcelain doll. However, her facial expression was like a mix of crying and laughing, resembling a puppet. Lu Xiaobu expressed his deep doubts and heartache. Is this still the same fiery chili who would curse at people at the slightest disagreement on ordinary days? "Xiaobu!" It was not until Zhou Jingyuan saw Lu Xiaobu that a burst of divine light exploded in her eyes! Hes still here, still here! She wished she could rush over to him right now! Only there would she find her haven! She was strong-willed. Two years ago, she fought with her life on the line to gain two years of freedom, and her family agreed not to interfere in her life during high school. But the cost was that once the college entrance examination ended, she had to return and accept the life planned for her. So although no one dared to provoke her at Shimen, what those people regarded was her backing from the Zhou Family, and that of the Wei Family. She had heard the transaction they were discussing just now. Although it felt suffocating to be treated as a commodity, and one might say it was very selfish. But she truly hoped that Lu Xiaobu would agree! This was her last straw for salvation! "Miss, please dont make a fuss." Wang Ma grabbed Zhou Jingyuan, firmly restraining her in place. "Zhang Meng, take action! Bring Zhou Jingyuan back for me!" Lu Xiaobus face darkened. He didnt want to wait any longer. Violence is not the best solution to the problem, but it is the most direct solution! "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng took a step forward, and a massive pressure instantly swept across the venue. "Take action? In the Zhou Familys place? Someone come!" Zhou Jingyas face showed anger for the first time. With an order, the surrounding bodyguards densely surrounded Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng looked at the dense crowd, seeing them as nothing. Having undergone extremely strict training, and his bodys hidden injuries healed by the Immortal Bean, he was now at his peak condition! The surrounding guests scrambled to get out of the way. "Has he gone mad! To take action in the Zhou Family?" "Does he think this is a novel? One against a hundred?" "Lu Xiaobu is crazy, and so is his bodyguard!" "Ah... overestimating oneself!" "..." Meanwhile, Wei Yiqings face turned alternately pale and flushed. He was supposed to be the protagonist today! But damn it, everyone completely ignored him! Let them fight! Its better if they all die! Under everyones disapproving gaze, the battle was on the verge of breaking out. "Hold on! Stop fighting!" At this moment, an elder walked out from the house and stopped the imminent fight. "Grandfather?" Zhou Jingya saw the elder and immediately frowned: "Why stop it? Even if that person is strong, he cant possibly fight a hundred alone!" "Yes, an ordinary person, even a Special Soldier, cant fight a hundred with bare hands. But those true strong ones can maintain a one-on-one engagement at all times by maneuvering around. In that scenario, especially if they use lethal moves, at least half of the people here would end up dead or crippled!" The elder looked at Zhang Meng: "Others might not be able to, but you definitely can, cant you? Fierce Tiger War GodZhang Meng!" "Mr. Zhou." Zhang Meng gave a slight bow to the elder, neither affirming nor denying! Thats right, even Special Soldiers couldnt fight a hundred, but they could definitely kill dozens with one move! After all, most bodyguards are trained in grappling techniques aimed at subduing people. But they have integrated killing skills into their bones. If a move can defeat an opponent, they wont use a second, what with groin kicks and eye gouging, these are ordinary moves in military boxing! This inherent gap is the biggest one between them! Hearing the conversation between the two. The people around them gasped in shock. "Hiss!" "Is it that terrifying?" "Arent those novels and such all deceptive?" "Can one person really fight a hundred?" "Nonsense, could what Old Zhou said possibly be false?" "You people, dont you listen to everything? Old Zhou said that fighting a hundred has its conditions." "Fierce Tiger War God, just the name sounds formidable! Even Old Zhou knows it." "What shocks me more is, why would someone Old Zhou appreciates be with Lu Xiaobu?" "..." The bodyguards around them all broke out in cold sweat! They couldnt possibly disbelieve Old Zhous words! Does that mean their previously confident battle was actually them walking a round at Ghost Gate?! "Zhang Meng, I have been looking for you for a long time." Old Zhous face wore a look of appreciation as he sized up Zhang Meng: "Still so honest, still so strong, truly worthy of being Fierce Tiger War God." "Thank you Old Zhou for your high praise, please speak quickly if theres a matter, I have orders from the Young Master to carry out." Zhang Meng spoke neither servilely nor haughtily, his voice calm. "Young Master?" Old Zhou looked up at Lu Xiaobu and frowned: "No way, Zhang Meng, even for such a prodigal son, he is worthy of your loyalty? What say you? Come back! The terms I previously offered are still valid." It seems the Zhou familys coldness is transmitted from generation to generation, from old to young all displaying a business-like face and tone in handling affairs! "Old Zhou, from the moment you finished talking about the Young Master, our past ties were severed." Zhang Meng bowed slightly, then instantly straightened, his gaze as sharp as a knife: "Come! Fight!" S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Old Zhous eyes suddenly narrowed, displaying a hint of displeasure and jealousy! What virtues and abilities does this Lu Xiaobu have, to make Zhang Meng so wholeheartedly loyal?! "Fight? No." Old Zhou pondered briefly: "Jingya, let your little sister go with Lu Xiaobu." "Grandpa?" Zhou Jingya was stunned, she somewhat couldnt understand her grandfathers tactics. Havent even secured any benefit yet, and hes handing over the bargaining chip? "Thats my granddaughter, since she can find her beloved, I dont mind fulfilling her, let go." Old Zhous tone became very gentle, as if the words came from the bottom of his heart. But his eyes always inadvertently fell on Zhang Meng. Obviously, his target was still Zhang Meng. "Alright!" Zhou Jingya said reluctantly. Zhou Jingyuan, watching Old Zhous expression, inexplicably felt a bone-chilling coldness. When she was little, she always thought her grandfather was the kindest to her, always smiling at her, very benevolent. Not dismissive like others. However, as she grew up, she understood. That benevolence, that affection, was the kind of affection one has for goods, for playthings! In his eyes, she was an illegitimate daughter, never a relative, just a piece of goods. She didnt understand, really didnt understand. She wondered day and night, isnt the blood of the Zhou family running through her veins? Why was she treated like this simply because she was an illegitimate daughter? But, forget it! She didnt want to think anymore. Although the process was complicated, at least she could still leave the indifferent Zhou family. Only by Lu Xiaobus side did her heart feel warm! She would never come back again! However... Just as she had just come to Lu Xiaobus side... "Old Zhou, I think my offer should be higher! How about giving this piece of goods to me?" Someone walked in. The goods in his mouth were clearly Zhou Jingyuan! Lu Xiaobu became furiousdamn it, have they all not finished yet?! Chapter 142: One Man, One Leg [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 142: Chapter 142: One Man, One Leg [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The newcomer is familiar to everyone; its Lin Feng from Imperials Four Young Masters! Hes the one who got chased away by Lu Xiaobu a few days ago. Today, hes here for revenge! His brows are raised in pride today, and the arrogance between his brows shoots straight into the sky! As for Zhou Jingyuan, what Zhou Jingyuan? Shes just a pretty woman, he doesnt care. Its Lu Xiaobu he wants! This is Imperial, not Shimen, this is his turf! Lu Xiaobu, since youve fallen into my hands, dont blame me for what happens next! Lin Feng walks in, not looking at Lu Xiaobu first, but turning his gaze to Wei Yiqing, who has completely become marginalized: "Wei Yiqing, is it? How about you cede Zhou Jingyuan to me?" Although he phrased it as a question, his tone left no room for doubt. It meant, if you dare to refuse, you become unnecessary! "I...I!" Wei Yiqing was so humiliated he was nearly in tears. What on earth is happening today? He was supposed to be the host. Yet, here comes Lu Xiaobu, treating him like hes nothing. The Zhou Family, too, call him and dismiss him at will! And now Lin Feng arrives, outright ignoring him! Damn it! Damn it all! But since thats the case, let them bite each other! Whoever dies, Ill be happy! "Good, I agree! Ill give Zhou Jingyuan to..." Wei Yiqing says, gritting his teeth. But he cant finish his sentence! Because, no one is waiting for his response! His response simply doesnt matter! "Young Master Lin!" The Zhou Family people upon seeing Lin Feng immediately put on a sycophantic smile and go forward to greet him. As a member of one of the top four major families, Lin Feng is much stronger than the Zhou Family! If they can curry favor with this kind of person, its so much better than being just the first on the Newcomer Rich List. Undoubtedly, if Young Master Lin desires Zhou Jingyuan, Whatever Lu Xiaobu, whatever Wei Yiqing, all will be pushed aside. However... They didnt finish their sentence either. Because Lin Fengs attitude towards them is the same as towards Wei Yiqing C he simply doesnt care! The crowd followed Lin Fengs gaze. And to their shock! He was looking at Lu Xiaobu! The Eldest Young Master Lin, who disregards them, is showing immense interest in that prodigal son Lu Xiaobu! Keep in mind that Lin Feng is the most proud of the Four Young Masters, and even his peers in the Four Young Masters may not catch his eye. So why would he pay such attention to a Lu Xiaobu? Whats so special about Lu Xiaobu? Lin Fengs eyes stare straight at Lu Xiaobu! And Lu Xiaobu looks right back! One with pride and aggression. The other with nonchalance and anger. The gazes of the two collide in mid-air, sparks flying. For a moment, the Zhou Family courtyard seems to have no one else; even the Zhou family members, who are supposed to be the hosts, step aside! Here, there are only the two of them! "Lu Xiaobu, we meet again." Lin Feng smiles, licks his lips, revealing the smile of an aggressor. "Are you here to pick a fight with me?" Lu Xiaobus expression is as calm as water, with no desire for conflict. "As long as youre unhappy, that makes me very happy." Lin Feng laughs heartily with abandon, then his gaze sharpens: "Lu Xiaobu, lets have a match!" "Not interested. Step aside!" Lu Xiaobu is succinct. "No, you will have to fight today, whether you like it or not! Otherwise, lets see if you can leave Imperial!" Lin Feng sneers threateningly. "Let me tell you, Im in a very bad mood today, dont provoke me!" Lu Xiaobus voice turns cold! "Fight me! If you win, you can take your people and leave, not one less! If you lose, just agree to one thing! You can still leave with your people!" Lin Feng sets out his terms. He just wants to compete with Lu Xiaobu and see who wins or loses. Lin Feng has never lost in his life, except that one time to Lu Xiaobu, and he wants to win back! Lu Xiaobu remains silent, and the scene falls into silence. Lin Feng too says nothing, waiting for Lu Xiaobus answer! And the others present, including the host, Zhou Family, and todays protagonist Wei Yiqing, dare not speak either! Fear is evident in their eyes. Their minds are occupied by only one thought! Why does this Lin Feng value Lu Xiaobu so highly?! They talk to Lin Feng, and he doesnt even bother to respond. But Lu Xiaobu doesnt speak, and he just waits calmly, not in a rush at all! What does that imply? It suggests that Lin Feng, who regards them as trash, actually sees Lu Xiaobu as an equal. Equals? One of the Imperial Capitals Four Young Masters and the prodigal Lu Xiaobu? How could that be?! Time ticks away by the second. Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu stays silent, Lin Feng continues to wait, and the rest dare not utter a word. After a long while. "Alright," Lu Xiaobu sighs, "just dont cry if you lose!" "Good! Hahaha!" Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, a hearty laugh breaks out on Lin Fengs face. This is the moment hes been waiting for Lu Xiaobu to agree. At this moment, hes even happier than if he had obtained an exceptionally beautiful woman. Then his voice turns icy: "Someone, take these men who looked down upon Lu Xiaobu and attacked him, and break their legs! One leg each! The person that Lin Feng values is not for these people to humiliate!" "Yes!" A throng of people surge forward from behind Lin Feng, pouncing on the bewildered bodyguards like hungry tigers. Soon, they are dragged out like chickens, pitiful screams echoing in the air. "And the Zhou Family, compensation, one hundred million." Lin Feng looks indifferently at Old Master Zhou. That gaze, similar to how Zhou Jingya looked down on everyone before, only now the Zhou Family is the one being looked down upon! "Young Master Lin?!" Old Master Zhous pupils contract sharply. He doesnt understand, why? Why would Lin Feng go to such lengths? To even demand compensation from the Zhou Family? On what grounds?! "Will you give it? Or not?" Lin Fengs eyes flash dangerously, his aura fierce. "We will give!" Old Master Zhou spits out the word, humiliated. He has no choice but to give; he doesnt dare not to. The Zhou Family, previously so arrogant, can only be this submissive in front of Lin Feng. Zhou Jingyas beautiful face turns pale and then flushes red with anger! She feels incredibly stifled inside. Just like how Wei Yiqing felt when he confronted her before. What makes the Zhou Family even more stifled is, if Lin Feng had demanded the money himself, that would be one thing. Everyones gaze drifts towards Lu Xiaobu, curious to see what his reaction will be! In their hearts, they think that Lu Xiaobu, having received such treatment and even respect from Lin Feng, should be thrilled, ecstatic. However, Lu Xiaobu remains as calm as ever, not betraying even the slightest ripple of emotion. Could it be that he feels its only natural for Young Master Lin to give him things? Lin Feng, upon witnessing this, also has no reaction! This is his rival! A rival worthy of respect! Contests are contests, other matters are separate! The last time, although he lost, Lu Xiaobu never boasted too much about defeating him, preserving his dignity. So today! This one hundred million, plus those several dozen legs, is his repayment of Lu Xiaobus favor! This is what he owes Lu Xiaobu, and it is only right! "Lets not waste any more time on these matters, Im busy," says Lu Xiaobu indifferently. "State your challenge, and lets not beat around the bush like a nagging woman!" "Alright, lets start then!" says Lin Feng. Once again, everyone present is struck with fearLin Feng doesnt get angry at the insults thrown by Lu Xiaobu!? Chapter 143: I Don’t Like Prolonged Battles【Extra - for 4000 Votes】 Chapter 143: Chapter 143: I Dont Like Prolonged BattlesExtra Chapter for 4000 Votes"This is Imperial after all, winning in any other aspect wouldnt be honorable, and it wouldnt make me happy either." Lin Feng said with a smile on his face, bluntly, "I know you have capable people under your command, even the Fierce Tiger War GodZhang Meng. So, Ive also recently taken a great general under my wing, why dont you just send someone out? Let them compete. Their victory or defeat will be ours. How about that?" As soon as he finished speaking, a person stepped forward from behind Lin Feng. This person had a build like a tigers back and a bears waist, gigantic in stature, eyes shining with a fierce light, resembling a humanoid tyrannosaurus, standing there and instantly intimidating the entire venue! It was clear that Lin Feng had been prepared for this moment all along. "Baji Lineage, Xiong Wenbai." The humanoid tyrannosaurus bowed with a fist raised proudly, "I have long heard of the illustrious reputation of the Fierce Tiger War God of the past, and Ive come today expressly to ask for guidance." "Hiss!" Hearing Xiong Wenbai announcing his lineage, the Zhou Family people took a sharp intake of breath. "Actually recruiting someone from the Baji Lineage, Young Master Lin is indeed making big moves, managing to recruit such a person." "Certainly, Young Master Lin has prepared in advance. Young Master Lin is sure to win!" "Yes, Young Master Lin is sure to win!" "..." Zhou Jingyuans pupils shrank as well. Her heart was filled with panic. She had not expected that Lin Feng would actually call for a person from the martial arts world! Could she still not escape her fate? She couldnt help but tightly grasp Lu Xiaobus arm, only this way did she feel slightly warm. "Relax, if worse comes to worst, Ill accept his terms." Lu Xiaobu patted Zhou Jingyuans hand, comforting her. However, this was just to comfort Zhou Jingyuan; he had no intention of losing. "Is Baji very strong?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "It seems Young Master Lu is unfamiliar with martial arts matters," Lin Feng laughed, a winners smile, "Well then, Xiong Wenbai, show Young Master Lu what youve got." "Yes!" Xiong Wenbai, looking at Lu Xiaobu, had a trace of disdain in his eyes, seemingly annoyed that Lu Xiaobu was not aware of his fame. Lin Fengs words were also to his liking. "Watch closely! To broaden your horizons so you dont embarrass yourself outside later!" Having said that, he stomped his foot suddenly, utilizing the Shock Character Technique of Baji Fist. The ground trembled slightly, and when he lifted his foot, a footprint about an inch deep was imprinted on the floor. Seeing this scene, the people around them changed complexion instantaneously! Whether those previously familiar with martial arts or those unfamiliar, everyone was stunned by this sight! To stamp a footprint on a cement floor with sheer physical power! This has got to be a joke! This is the kind of scene you only see in martial arts novels! Xiong Wenbai, seeing the look in the eyes of people around, raised his head, looked disdainfully at Lu Xiaobu, "Did you see, Young Master Lu? If this foot was on you, Im afraid it would cost you your life!" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed slightly, and he remained silent. "Young Master Lu dont take offense; the disciples of the Baji Lineage are somewhat brash, he didnt mean any harm, no offense intended," Lin Feng said with a smile. But the confrontational meaning in his words was not diminished at all. His words meant one thing: concession! And when is concession spoken? By the victor, after victory. He believed he was certain to win! "Zhang Meng, your thoughts?" Lu Xiaobu spoke out. "Young Master," Zhang Meng showed a trace of shame, "I could try, but..." He was beside himself with anger, yet felt powerless. Just like he said before, he might be able to kill one hundred alone, but he could not fight against a hundred by himself! In terms of gun skills, fighting, killing, he could say without modesty that he was nearly an all-capable killing machine, unafraid in battlefield charges or in guerrilla jungle warfare. But in this kind of pure close combat, he really couldnt guarantee victory. "What about Li Jin?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. "I should be able to, wearing him down shouldnt be a problem." Li Jin nodded and said. He has now cultivated the "Green Emperor Longevity Technique" and is no longer an ordinary person. However, the only pity is that the "Green Emperor Longevity Technique" is not the kind of cultivation technique designed for tough battles; it can only rely on powerful recovery abilities and slowly wear down the opponent! "Then forget it, if I win, I want it to be a handsome victoryI dont like protracted battles." Lu Xiaobu shook his head. Seeing the murmuring over at Lu Xiaobus side. Lin Feng showed a smug smile: "How about it? Lu Xiaobu, cant handle it? Just obediently agree to my terms." Happy, very happy! Although he knew he would definitely win, the moment it came, he still couldnt help but feel overwhelmingly excited. "Cant handle it?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled: "I was just thinking about how I can end the battle faster; after all, Im already tired." "Such arrogance!" Hearing these words, Xiong Wenbai couldnt take it anymore: "Are you saying, Young Master Lu, you want to try it out yourself?!" Quickly ending a battlethats something that the fiercest practitioners of Baji, always talk about. Now, hearing it from Lu Xiaobus mouth was simply unacceptable. Was he looking down on his Baji Lineage? "If I must do it myself, then I will." Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and took a step forward. "Young Master!" Liang Lans nerves tightened instantly. She quickly grabbed hold of Lu Xiaobu! What a joke! The opponent was someone who could leave imprints with his feet. Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If the Young Master went up personally, wouldnt that be courting death... spit spit spit, I cant say such things! "Xiaobu!" Zhou Jingyuan also hugged Lu Xiaobu tightly, her eyes showing a pleading look. Although she really wanted Lu Xiaobu to rescue her from her misery. If it meant exchanging it for Lu Xiaobus safety. She would rather not! "Young Master, let me go instead." Li Jin also intervened: "I can do it, Young Master doesnt like to drag things out, so Ill just do it quickly." Not just them, even Lin Feng, the enemy, started to persuade: "Lu Xiaobu, stop fooling around, what are you doing? Youre not someone who cant take a loss! Whats the point of doing this?" Everyone was trying to stop Lu Xiaobu, only Zhang Meng wore a thoughtful look, whispering: "Young Master, the concert?" He remembered the concert, where the Young Master was invulnerable! If that was the case, he wouldnt worry! "En!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. Zhang Meng might look simple, but he was very attentive, Thats also why Lu Xiaobu habitually has him handle matters. "Whew!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus response, Zhang Meng took a deep breath, reassured, and said to the others: "Its okay, the Young Master can win." "Uh..." Hearing Zhang Mengs words, everyone frowned. Whats going on? Has even Zhang Meng lost his mind? But by this time, Lu Xiaobu had already freed himself from the crowds restraint and walked to the front of the stage. "Do you really want to go on yourself?" Xiong Wenbai almost laughed so hard his stomach hurt: "Arent you afraid Ill really beat you to death? I dont do mercy." "Beat me to death?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed, pointing at the Zhou Familys main gate and said indifferently: "You believe it or not, I can just walk over to the gate and you wont be able to touch a single hair on me, your so-called Baji Lineage, is a joke in my eyes." Upon saying this The atmosphere of the entire Zhou Family instantly froze! Xiong Wenbais face contorted with fury. Claiming his Baji Lineage couldnt lay a finger on someone! This was the ultimate insult! Only fresh blood could wash it away! Chapter 144 I Want You to Kneel Down and Shout Daddy [4th Update] Chapter 144: Chapter 144 I Want You to Kneel Down and Shout Daddy [4th Update]Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily. The Magic Sound Jade Pendant needs a song to activate it. He began searching his mind for a suitable song. Then... A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. There was a perfect song. Huang Lixings "I Am Your Who." Perhaps not many have heard this song, but the lyrics were absolutely cool. It used to be a must-sing song at Earths KTV. However, under the current circumstances, he couldnt sing the entire song, just a selected part would do. Lu Xiaobu cleared his throat, singing as he approached the door. "Youre completely screwed, just deal with it!" "I want you to kneel down, and loudly call me Daddy!" "Whos your daddy, just deal with it!" "I want you to kneel down, and yell out Daddy!" Originally, Lin Feng was about to persuade Xiong Wenbai to show mercy and that winning was enough. But then... Hearing this song! It was over! Lu Xiaobu, are you really seeking death? Even I cant save you now! And now, you still dare to provoke? As expected! Xiong Wenbai exploded on the spot! Like a black bear, he roared, "Im going to kill you!" Lu Xiaobu was over the line, not only insulting the Baji Lineage but also using this song to insult him! His fists clenched, veins bulging all over, he saw Lu Xiaobu just a meter away, stepped forward, and his body shifted sideways with a fierce look. His massive body, carrying a fierce gust, struck towards Lu Xiaobu! Baji FistMountain Clinging! This move was renowned in Baji Fist for its lethal power, more terrifying than his previous kick. Normally, if a Martial Artist of the Baji Lineage used this move on someone, talking about merely broken bones and torn muscles was an understatement! And Xiong Wenbai, as an outstanding young member of the Baji Lineage, had once used this move to break a tree trunk as thick as a thigh! Its power was extremely terrifying! Now using this move against Lu Xiaobu, he clearly harbored a lethal intent! "No good! What are you doing, Xiong Wenbai?!" Lin Fengs pupils dilated instantly! Even though he thought Xiong Wenbai would not hold back, he didnt expect him to use this move! This idiot, if Lu Xiaobu dies, not only will you not live, but even he could be implicated! "Young Master!" Liang Lan turned pale instantly. She could feel that terrifying power from the side! "Xiaobu!" Zhou Jingyuans tears burst out! She rushed out fiercely! She didnt know what she was doing, but she just had to go! "Ill block it for Young Master!" Li Jin was also incredibly agitated, not even managing to muster his True Qi, he stepped forward to charge up! "Get back!" Zhang Meng forcefully pulled Zhou Jingyuan and Li Jin back! Those around also couldnt help but close their eyes. They seemed to have already envisioned Lu Xiaobu being splattered with blood right there! After all, Xiong Wenbais previous kick was already terrifying! And this strike now, even a blind person could tell, was more horrifying than the previous kick! However... Thud! A sound like a great bell suddenly resounded, making everyone cover their ears involuntarily! They felt their bodies go numb! No, wait! They suddenly realized it! This clearly wasnt the sound of hitting a human body! Could it be that Xiong Wenbai had held back? They quickly opened their eyes to look. Indeed, they found that Xiong Wenbai had not held back and had truly struck Lu Xiaobu! However... Lu Xiaobu was completely unscathed! No, thats not quite right, to be precise, not only was he not hurt, but Lu Xiaobu hadnt even moved an inch! Xiong Wenbais massive, powerful strike was like hitting a millennial mountain, the opponent didnt budge at all! How could this be?! Everyone screamed in horror! "Are you kidding? Didnt even flinch?!" "Is Lu Xiaobu made of steel? No, even if made of steel, taking that hit should have shattered him!" "Am I dreaming?" "..." Lin Feng stared dumbfounded at this scene, completely losing his mind! Damn it! Lu Xiaobu, are you even human? He had seen Xiong Wenbai perform this move before! That was a tree trunk as thick as a thigh, easily snapped! And nothing happened to you? "Young Master!" Liang Lan burst into tears of joy, her body went limp, and she suddenly sat down on the ground! Sitting on the ground as well was Zhou Jingyuan. Tears covered her pretty face: "You freaking scared me to death! Damn Xiaobu!" "Sigh!" Zhang Meng and Li Jin, the brothers, were also feeling their legs go weak. Especially Zhang Meng, although he trusts Lu Xiaobu, it was impossible not to worry! They were still just shocked! And one of the parties involved, Xiong Wenbai, completely broke down! He stood frozen in place, staring at Lu Xiaobu who was unharmed and unmoved, his already not-so-great brain went blank! Not dead? Not crippled? Didnt even flinch? Did he launch a fake powerful move? No, I definitely gave it my all! He was stunned, but Lu Xiaobu was not! This guy attacked him, how could he not counterattack? "Youre totally screwed, just watch!" Lu Xiaobu sang while lifting his hand, and slapped Xiong Wenbais face! It must be said, Xiong Wenbai is really tall! Lu Xiaobu had to jump up to smack him with power! This scene felt a bit theatrical! "Slap!" A slap landed on Xiong Wenbais face! "Dammit! You dare to hit me!" Xiong Wenbai woke up from the slap, enraged again! He went crazy and lunged at Lu Xiaobu again with a Mountain Clinging move. Without exception! "Thud!" Still unscathed! ... "I want you to kneel down and loudly call me Daddy!" Lu Xiaobu returned a slap! "Slap!" "Ah!" Xiong Wenbai bumped again! "Thud!" ... "Whos your daddy, just watch!" Lu Xiaobu slapped with his left hand! "Slap!" "Ah!" Xiong Wenbai bumped yet again! "Thud!" ... "I want you to kneel down and shout Daddy!" Lu Xiaobu slapped with his right hand! "Slap!" Well, this time Xiong Wenbai didnt shout! Couldnt bump anymore! "Thud!" He sat on the ground like a small mountain, staring blankly at Lu Xiaobu in front of him! Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He had never encountered such a thing in his life! Terrifying! Four consecutive Mountain Clinging, even steel would have been nearly wrecked! But why was Lu Xiaobu still unharmed? "Damn, such thick skin, my hand hurts." Lu Xiaobu muttered. "Uh..." Everyone on the scene was somewhat breaking down! It was supposed to be a grand duel, Lu Xiaobu, how did you turn it into a farce? And loudly calling you Daddy! What exactly do you want? And you complain about him having thick skin when you hit him? Thats not how you bully someone! Liang Lan and the others could only smile wrylyYoung Master, dont you know how worried we were? And youre still enjoying it?! "Sister Lan, take Little Chili, lets go." Lu Xiaobu stretched and said. "Yes!" Liang Lan helped Zhou Jingyuan up, following behind Lu Xiaobu towards the main gate! As Lu Xiaobu passed Lin Feng, he patted Lin Fengs shoulder. Lin Feng immediately shivered in fright! He took two steps back abruptly! He thought Lu Xiaobu was going to slap him too! So damn fierce! Even the proud son of Imperial was scared! "Dont be scared, I wont hit you." Lu Xiaobu curled his lip, disdainfully saying, "Remember to bring someone stronger next time." After walking a few steps, Lu Xiaobu looked back at the Zhou Family members! The people of Zhou Family also shuddered violently, stepping back! The previously queen-like Zhou Jingya was as scared as a quail! Such a big family, frightened just by Lu Xiaobu turning his head! "And you, Im taking Zhou Jingyuan with me, if you want her, come to Shimen!" Lu Xiaobu sneered: "If you dare!" With that, Lu Xiaobu walked away swiftly, leaving behind a crowd full of mixed feelings of shock and anger. At that moment, Lu Xiaobu was truly the master! Stepping out the door, Lu Xiaobu touched his chin. Face-slapping mission accomplished. Hehe, its time to reap the benefits! Tsk tsk tsk, pushing oil! And also using... Cough cough cough! Chapter 145 Everything is for Justice [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Everything is for Justice [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]On the return flight, Zhou Jingyuan was all tense, like a frightened kitten, clutching Lu Xiaobus arm tightly and refusing to let go. And the consequence of this was that Lu Xiaobus arm was wrapped in something soft, which really made him want to slam on the brakes of the plane. What? You dont know what that means? Wait until youre on the back of a motorbike with a girl. Try hitting the brakes Squeal after that... Youll understand. By then, youll be itching to slam on the brakes a few more times! Although Lu Xiaobu knew it wasnt right, he couldnt really blame himself! With this feeling, this experience, could you hold back? Youll probably hope for the brakes to be hit as hard as possible! Those who say they can hold back, I salute you as a real man. Give it another decade or so, and Ill make a point of visiting you every Singles Day with my family in tow. Back at home, Lus parents also recognized Zhou Jingyuan and without asking too much, they just tidied up the room and had Lin Shu help out by buying some new clothes. "Alright, were home now. Take a shower first, then well have dinner." Lu Xiaobu soothed Zhou Jingyuan, who still looked somewhat panicked. Then... "Young Master, what are you doing?" Liang Lan asked, watching Lu Xiaobu help Zhou Jingyuan upstairs. "Im accompanying her!" Lu Xiaobu, as an upright gentleman, declared righteously. "Hm?" Liang Lan tilted her head, looking at Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master?" "What are you thinking about, seriously!" Lu Xiaobu immediately protested. Sister Lan actually didnt trust him. And you guys! What are you doing? Dont look at me with that strange gaze. I never intended to shower together! Youre overthinkingthis is just about companionship, okay? Moreover, isnt this an opportunity for Lu Xiaobu to fulfill the contract with Zhou Jingyuan? Yes, everything is for justice! Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then... "Then I want to take a shower with Zhou Jingyuan, Young Master, you wait for dinner." Liang Lan took Zhou Jingyuan with a smile and went upstairs! Wanna spend time alone? Like I dont exist?! Humph! "Ah, the worlds changed!" Lu Xiaobu expressed his heartache. Why dont they trust him? And, isnt he stupid? He shouldve sent Sister Lan away sooner! Helplessly, dinner time, then bed. In the middle of the night. Someone sneaked in secretly. "Who?" Lu Xiaobu was still scrolling through his phone and had not yet slept. "Its me." The voice of the hot pepper came over. "What do you want?" Lu Xiaobu instantly became alert. His mind flooded with countless teachings from experts. Was it finally time for a real battle? "I cant sleep alone, I want to sleep over at your place." Zhou Jingyuan said with a mix of aggrievement and fear. She didnt have that fiery attitude at all. Seeing Zhou Jingyuan looking like a ghost, Lu Xiaobu sighed, completely losing that kind of thought! "Alright, you sleep here." Lu Xiaobu scooted over to give half of the bed to Zhou Jingyuan. "You..." Zhou Jingyuan bit her red lips, hesitating. "Dont worry, with you looking like this, Im not interested at all right now." Lu Xiaobu yawned and turned away. "Okay!" Zhou Jingyuan nodded, choosing to trust Lu Xiaobu. However, before she went to sleep, she leaned close to Lu Xiaobus face... Mua! A sweet kiss. "Im going to sleep!" Zhou Jingyuan hurriedly wrapped herself up in the blanket, ready for sleep. "Er..." Lu Xiaobu was speechless! I mean, seriously, youre giving me this routine now? Arent you afraid I might Transform out of agitation? He glanced back slightly. It seems that this little chili pepper is truly exhausted today! Shes fallen asleep so quickly! Forget it, fulfilling the contract and all can wait until later. What? What do you mean by what just happened? You must be kidding! As a by-the-book person, could he possibly condone the chili peppers breach of contract? So... That was just the interest! It definitely doesnt count! What he didnt notice, though, was the chili peppers mouth curving into a contented smile as she peacefully drifted off to sleep! ... The next day, Zhou Jingyuan was already gone. Lu Xiaobu glanced downward: "What use do I have for this iron rod?" He went downstairs to eat breakfast with a crestfallen look. And the little chili pepper was already chatting with Liang Lan. "You stayed overnight in Young Masters room?" Liang Lan was surprised: "Who does that, offering themselves up like that?" "I couldnt sleep!" The little chili pepper grimaced: "I felt like I was dreaming all day yesterday, as if I were still trapped in a sea of suffering." "Then why didnt you come to me?" Liang Lan said, a little annoyed. She was feeling a bit jealous! Yes, thats right, jealous! Humph! "Alright, Sister Lan." The little chili pepper cooed: "After all, I didnt win anything!" She woke up feisty as ever. "What? You wanted to win something?" Liang Lan raised her eyebrow: "I am worried your body cant take it." "Cant take it? What a joke! Humph, I can definitely take it!" Zhou Jingyuan said playfully. "Hmm..." Liang Lan glanced up and down at Zhou Jingyuans petite figure, recalling the things she had inadvertently seen in Young Masters room a few days ago, and let out a meaningful grunt. "Whats up?" Zhou Jingyuan was startled by that sound, chilling to the bones. What is she thinking? To tear me apart? But before she could ask in detail, Lu Xiaobu came downstairs. The two women promptly shut up and sat down to eat, especially Zhou Jingyuan, who put on a worried expression again. Life is like a play, its all about acting. "Where shall we go for fun today?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, looking at Zhou Jingyuan: "How about I accompany you to relax a bit?" Zhou Jingyuans eyes curved up happily. Xiaobu really cared about her. Liang Lan pursed her lips. Then... "Hurry up and get ready, speed things up and fulfill the contract." Lu Xiaobu said again. "Pfft!" Liang Lan laughed. Zhou Jingyuan gritted her teeth with fury, Lu Xiaobu, you jerk! "Sister Lan, hows our movie coming along?" Lu Xiaobu asked, suddenly remembering that "A Chinese Odyssey" was still being filmed. "Im not quite sure, all of that is being handled by Director Chen Feiyang, we hardly had a hand in it." Liang Lan shook her head. "Alright then, lets go and see how its coming along?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin. "A Chinese Odyssey", being his favorite movie, if it was not made well, if it turned into a mess, he would not approve! The only purpose of making this film was to let the people of this world understand the charm of "A Chinese Odyssey". And then sit back and watch them become enraptured, mad about it! ... Upon arriving at the film studio, the scene before him made his brows furrowwhat a mess! Chapter 146 Get the Hell Out of Here! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Get the Hell Out of Here! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu and his entourage arrived at the filming location for "A Chinese Odyssey." Suddenly, they found the place miserably shabby! Its just unbearable! Every person in the crew wore an idle expression, slacking off wherever possible, hiding whenever they could. Even the extras had expressions of utter boredom. Lu Xiaobus face darkened right away. He remembered that he should have told Chen Feiyang, he didnt want this movie to turn into a disaster. But what is all this now? Are they mocking him? Do they think hes easily fooled? He looked around, did not see Chen Feiyang, and then strode further inside. He approached a few extras. Looking at their makeup, they were supposed to be members of the Axe Gang in the desolate deserts of May. The makeup looked quite on point. But the words coming out of their mouths irritated Lu Xiaobu. "Ah, another break, how relaxing!" "Hey, weve shot this scene almost eight hundred times and its still not right, really." "Its not our problem, Chen Feiyang cant even get the leads right, why blame us if we dont perform well?" "Exactly, its not our concern. Even if he settles it, Ill make more mistakes deliberately, just to drag out the day, its so comfortable this way!" "Yeah, in this hot weather, just sitting here, not working yet still getting paid, its comfortable indeed!" "..." "Wheres Chen Feiyang?" Lu Xiaobu heard their conversation and asked out loud. "Eh, Young Master Bu, are you looking for Director Chen Feiyang?" One of the extras who recognized Lu Xiaobu quickly stood up and bowed. "Yes, I want him to give me an explanation." Lu Xiaobu said calmly, yet there was a rage in his voice. Chen Feiyang had promised him solemnly before that this movie would be properly managed. And now? "I know where he is, please follow me!" That extra hastily nodded and bowed. "Lead the way. Li Jun, tip him." Lu Xiaobu nodded. After walking a few steps, Lu Xiaobu suddenly stopped. He turned back to the extra who had just talked about messing up deliberately and said, "You, get out now!" "Me!" Wang Chengjun, the just-spoken extra, turned pale instantly. This meant he was being kicked out of the crew! At first, he was shocked, and then a surge of anger rushed up. As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes. All these high and mighty figures feared Lu Xiaobu, but this Wang Chengjun dared to risk it all. After all, if being obedient meant getting kicked out, maybe being disobedient might leave a slim chance! "On what grounds do you order me? You might be rich, but you are not the director of this film, what right do you have to tell me to scram? Dont think just because you have some stinking money, youre above everyone else!" Wang Chengjun stood up angrily and said, "I may just be an extra, but Im not to be bullied by you. We have our rules; its not up to you to come and go as you please!" Wang Chengjun was clever in his way, the type to be slick and skirt around the edges. Otherwise, he wouldnt have even thought about dragging out the time. With these words, he essentially labeled Lu Xiaobu as a rich and powerful bully. And he completely avoided mentioning his own intentions to muddle through and not act properly! Instantly, some people around, unaware of the full context and holding a strong resentment towards the wealthy, began to chime in. "Yeah, isnt that too much?" "Were different from you rich folks, we rely on this little salary to feed our families, its like asking for our lives!" "I used to hear that Young Master Bu was kind, but now it seems hes just an arrogant rich second generation!" "Rich people are all bastards, and they should experience the suffering of the poor." "Indeed, all the rumors online are fake. Lu Xiaobu is just an ignorant, wasteful scumbag!" "..." Wang Chengjun raised an eyebrow, smugly: "See that? Young Master Lu, we dont really welcome you here! Really, you should mind your own business!" "Fine." Lu Xiaobu was amused, nodded: "You think Im over the top, right? Then just get the hell out of here!" "Why should I! Who do you think you are! A director, an investor?" Wang Chengjun, quite composed, directly retorted. He did not believe from the start that Lu Xiaobu had anything to do with A Chinese Odyssey. Especially since Lu Xiaobu is known for being generous. However, the crew of A Chinese Odyssey is terribly poor, how could they be related? Even if, retreating ten thousand steps, Lu Xiaobu was now taking over A Chinese Odyssey and becoming the new investor, he was not afraid! After all, his role was not just any extra, but the important role of the blind man from the Axe Gang. If he were gone, many scenes would need to be reshot. Not to mention whether that naive director Chen Feiyang would agree? What about those high and mighty stars who are already very impatient? What a joke! There are rules in every industry, money is not everything! "What are you all doing? Get ready, were about to start shooting!" A chubby guy came over at that moment. "Alright, Director Lu." Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Wang Chengjun quickly greeted him. Then, smugly, glanced at Lu Xiaobu. Making a declaration of victory. However... "Young Master Bu, why have you come?" The fat director was none other than Lu Hao. He saw Lu Xiaobu and quickly came forward to greet him. "Kick out all the people who were wasting their breath just now!" Lu Xiaobu looked at Lu Hao and commanded. "Sure, Young Master Bu." Lu Hao immediately turned around, seeing that it was obviously Young Master Bu throwing a fit: "Wang Chengjun, you can get lost now!" "What?" Wang Chengjuns pupils shrank, and he quickly protested: "Director Lu, what do you mean? Teaming up with outsiders to bully me? Are you also someone who goes weak at the knees for money? Think carefully, our crews current situation, if I leave, many scenes will have to be reshot! Can those main actors tolerate it?" "Reshoot? If Young Master Bu isnt satisfied, everything has to be reshot, everyone get the hell out!" Lu Hao cursed directly: "Finance, settle their payments, let them get lost!" Only when the wages were really in hand. Did these people realize, they were actually dismissed! Wang Chengjun was rather okay, he was prepared to counterattack regardless, losing was just losing. But those people whom he had just stirred up were regretting so much their guts turned blue! They were initially alright, but now they got fired! Suddenly, they were all gritting their teeth staring at Wang Chengjun! "Wang Chengjun, lets talk on the side!" "What do you want to do?" Wang Chengjun shivered immediately, fear visible in his eyes. "Just a talk!" Several big and burly extras immediately dragged Wang Chengjun into a small grove! In no time at all, cries of agony from Wang Chengjun echoed! Lu Xiaobu, fueled by anger, continued to follow Lu Hao to find Chen Feiyang. At this moment, he was truly furious. The upper beam isnt straight, the lower beam is crooked! Look at the quality of these extras, you can tell what the shooting is like! Chen Feiyang, if you cant shoot it, then just get the hell out of here! Dont come and ruin a classic! Chapter 147: Continuing the Myth [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Continuing the Myth [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]On the road, Lu Hao perhaps noticed that Lu Xiaobu was not in a good mood and dared not speak. Arriving at Chen Feiyangs location. It was a camper van, and the sound of a quarrel burst forth from inside even before they approached. "Gong Shu, how many times have I told you, its not like this here! Why dont you shoot it properly?" "I told you, it needs to be more realistic here, not just a perfunctory effort!" "Tell me, how many times have we shot this scene already, and why do you still look the same?!" Chen Feiyangs loud voice penetrated the camper van, filling everyones ears! Then a sharp female voice came out: "Director Chen, arent you being too harsh?" "Our Gong Shu remembers the favor of you promoting him, which is why he turned down the currently most trending Youthful Frenzy to shoot this disaster of a movie." "Not to mention the low pay, youre also being picky, weve worked together so many times, why sabotage your own people?" Another male voice: "Sister Wang, say less, you know Director Chens temper." "What do you mean say less? Its sweltering, everyone is here filming with him, and he is still nitpicking. If it were a good script, fine, but look at that crap hes shooting, its nonsense. Who is he shooting it for? Brainless primary school students?" Sister Wangs voice grew louder and louder. "Nonsense?! Get out!" Chen Feiyang, upon hearing this woman insult the script, finally exploded, and roared at the woman: "Get out! If you dont want to shoot, then get out!" He could tolerate being scolded, but not the script being insulted! This was the god-level script given to him by Lu Xiaobu, he wont allow anyone to insult it. "If thats how it is, we are leaving! We dont care about your pitiful pay anyway, consider it returning a favor!" The woman pulled up a man sitting next to her, opened the car door, left the camper van, got into their car, and drove away, not even looking back! After they left. Lu Xiaobu then entered the camper van. Upon seeing Lu Xiaobu, Chen Feiyang gave a wry smile: "Young Master Bu, please have a seat, sorry to show you such a farce." "Speak, I need an explanation." Lu Xiaobu entered the camper van, looking rather displeased. Ever since arriving at the film city, he hadnt seen anything going smoothly. "Whats all this?" Chen Feiyang looked confused. Lu Hao waved his hand at Chen Feiyang and quietly relayed the recent events. Only then did Chen Feiyang come to a realization, he gave a wry smile and said: "Its been a mess, youve seen all the bad, none of the good." Lu Xiaobu: "Hmm?" "Actually, the situation is like this, the filming of A Chinese Odyssey is almost concluding, and its essentially wrap-up time. But there are just a few scenes that arent good and need reshooting. Thats what has been keeping us busy these days," explained Chen Feiyang with a bitter smile. "And the main reason is the Gong Shu who just left, he wasnt taking it seriously, thats why we had to keep redoing this part." "That youngster just now? The lead?" Lu Xiaobu felt somewhat better after hearing Chen Feiyangs explanation. "Oh, not him, its a supporting actor. The main actors all owe me favors, they wouldnt mess around, after all, I do have some prestige in the film industry." Chen Feiyang said somewhat proudly, but then gave another wry smile: "However, its easy to meet King Yan, but hard to deal with minor demons, especially these half-bottles making a lot of noise, they are the most troublesome." "Gong Shu originally was enthusiastic about shooting my movie, even turned down another film to come." "His agent, that woman from before, was very unhappy from the start, thinking the pay was too low, constantly whispering in Gong Shus ear." "It was fine at first, Gong Shu ignored her, but later, the movie Youthful Frenzy he turned down started to heat up in its promotions, getting incredibly high attention, and they kept inviting him back to be a lead." "All these things combined, Gong Shu started to become tricky, delivering a slapdash performance, picking faults everywhere. Thats how today ended up like this." After explaining, Chen Feiyang sighed: "Young Master Bu, the extras you saw earlier were just coordinating with this Gong Shu for the shoot." He knew in his heart that part of the cause was also his own doing. That was his absolute confidentiality regarding the script. He never shoots according to the scheduled script but shoots randomly and then edits everything together at the end. This is to ensure the script remains confidential to the greatest extent. The seasoned actors all know his habits and trust him, so they dont ask too many questions. But these new actors, especially those who thought they had a better choice, just didnt get it! "Really?" Lu Xiaobu remained somewhat skeptical. "Young Master Bu, youll see for yourself." Chen Feiyang stopped explaining, after all, facts speak louder than words. Others cant see, but Young Master Bu can! First, he asked Wu Qianmin, Zhou Jingyuan, and Liang Lan to leave. Beneath Lu Xiaobus nod, the three women pursed their lips and left the trailer. Then, Chen Feiyang asked Lu Hao to stand guard at the door. Finally, he cautiously took out the filmed tape and played it on the TV. Looking at the scenes playing on the TV, Lu Xiaobu confirmed that this was indeed the plot of A Chinese Odyssey, no mistake! Thus, he quickly became immersed in it. This was a movie that lasted over three hours. After all, the script Lu Xiaobu gave to Chen Feiyang wasnt for one movie, but it contained the scripts for two movies. And Chen Feiyang, he was truly domineering. He actually managed to film the contents of two movies from Earth before with just ten million. Just on this point alone, Chen Feiyangs prestige in the film industry was indeed not unfounded. "Sigh!" Lu Xiaobu let out a long breath after watching. He didnt quite understand filmmaking, and the current movie wasnt yet perfect. But as an audience, one who had seen Stephen Chows A Chinese Odyssey, Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He could confidently say. Chen Feiyang hadnt tarnished the classic but had continued the legend! Very good! Very beautiful! "Young Master Bu, are you reassured now?" Chen Feiyang smiled. Getting acknowledgment from Lu Xiaobu, who provided the script, was the greatest encouragement for him! "Ive wronged you." Lu Xiaobu immediately apologized. "No, no, no, I dont deserve this," Chen Feiyang hastened to wave his hands. He felt very content inside. Though Young Master Bu was a second-generation rich, he was different from the others. He never had those moments of stubborn pride, refusing to admit he was wrong. "By the way, I just heard that our movies promotion is not going very well?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. "This..." Talking about this made Chen Feiyang feel awkward: "After all, our budget was only ten million; making the film was already striving my utmost, so the promotional aspect has always been a bit weak." "Well then, Ill take care of the promotion." Lu Xiaobu stood up, "That Gong Shu, right? Ill make him regret deeply!" He would not allow A Chinese Odyssey to become a flop in peoples eyes. He still remembered how, when Stephen Chows A Chinese Odyssey first premiered, it had dismal box office performance, with no recognition. He will absolutely not let that happen again! Its just promotion! Who could be better at this game than me?! Chapter 148 All Free [Extra - with 5000 Votes] Chapter 148: Chapter 148 All Free [Extra Chapter with 5000 Votes]Chen Feiyang quickly packed up his things and let the people outside come in. Three women were still pouting, looking unhappy. "Sister Lan, transfer three billion to Director Chen, let him pay those righteous actors." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan dropped her coy demeanor and replied. "Young Master Bu." Chen Feiyang suddenly stood up: "We agreed on ten million, no, no, I cant accept this." "Then consider it a bonus, you decide how to allocate it." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand again. "This..." Chen Feiyang was flabbergasted. A bonus for me? Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Is there such a bonus that gives out three billion? Are you kidding me! But he knew this was Young Master Bus trust in him. Because this kind of reward is not an investment, which means he could completely handle this huge amount of money on his own. Of course, he would absolutely not do that. Young Master Bu trusted him, and he must live up to that trust! Leaving the RV, Lu Xiaobu was walking in the film and television city with Zhou Jingyuan to calm her mind, while he said to Liang Lan: "Sister Lan, let everyone know, I, the young master, am celebrating Red Peppers escape from misery, the premiere of A Chinese Odyssey will be free! Everyone can watch it once for free!" "Free?!" Liang Lan was taken aback: "Young Master, although we made this movie just for fun, it shouldnt be free!" She felt like the Young Master was being whimsical again... er, mysterious! "Xiaobu, are you being whimsical again? I didnt ask for this." Zhou Jingyuan said, slightly annoyed. However, she was still very happy to hear this. Xiaobu made it all free for her? Thats a huge amount of money. This is like the romantic act of King You of Zhou playing with the feudal lords with beacon fires! Wu Qianmin pouted jealously on the side: "Hmph, free? Even if you want to make it free, will the cinemas let you? Arent they in it for profit?" "True." Lu Xiaobu nodded, "What about the cinemas then!" "Whew!" The three women heaved a sigh of relief, it seems Lu Xiaobu has come to his senses. "Then tell the cinemas, well cover their costs." Lu Xiaobu continued. "I..." The three women instantly freaked out! Well, trying to talk him out of it didnt work, and now even more money has been thrown out. Really! What should I even say? ... As the group walked through the film and television city, Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan kept urging Lu Xiaobu not to make it free. But Lu Xiaobu just wouldnt listen, determined as ever. Only Liang Lan regained her composure later and began to ponder if there was some deeper meaning behind Young Masters decision. But after thinking it over, she found no clue. After all, a movie is most valuable at its premiere, after one viewing, the chances of people watching it a second or third time are very low! ... Currently, the hottest topic online is the movie "Youthful Frenzy". And as a famous director, Chen Feiyangs A Chinese Odyssey naturally gets compared with Youthful Frenzy by netizens! However, it seems that Youthful Frenzy is clearly winning! Many are eagerly awaiting the premiere of Youthful Frenzy. "Quick, quick, quick, Im literally counting down every day, waiting for Youthful Frenzy to be released." "Me too, their promotion is so intense, even someone like me who isnt into romance movies has been forced by my girlfriend to watch it." "Same here, on the floor above, such tough luck!" "But honestly, Im still looking forward to Youthful Frenzy, given that there are so many top stars involved." "Wow! My male god!" "..." Compared to that, the promotion for A Chinese Odyssey only seemed to entail a single Weibo post and nothing else. Everyone was sighing. "Ah, Director Chen Feiyang has really gone downhill!" "Yeah, its ridiculous that they would even make such a weird trashy movie." "Come on, who are you to laugh at others when you are just hustling for money yourselves!" "When the time comes, lets just support it as a favor, so that Director Chen doesnt lose too badly." "What a pity!" "..." However, that afternoon, a Weibo post from the official account of A Chinese Odyssey blew up the entire internet. "A Chinese Odyssey premiere is free, all tickets cost 0 yuan, no one is even interested in buying one." Now the netizens went wild! However, it just got worse! "Seriously, has Director Chen Feiyang gone mad?" "Free? Watching movies without paying?" "Has Director Chen given up on himself? Is he preparing to treat everyone?" "No way, even if Director Chen messed up, he wouldnt do something like this." "..." Soon, the news media clarified the mystery for the netizens. Behind A Chinese Odyssey: The Mastermind is Lu Xiaobu! All doubts cleared up at once! Another wasteful move by the profligate son The world of the rich, we dont understand it As news pieces came out one after another, netizens got it! "Oh shoot, its Lu Xiaobu! That explains it!" "Got it, the usual wastefulness of the profligate son!" "Ahh, we cant understand the mindset of such a spendthrift, not making money on the premiere, then when?" "Right, are they waiting for us to watch it a second time? Or is he going to buy his own tickets? Ridiculous!" "Not that we dont understand the world of a waster, but that only idiots would understand!" "Forget it, the more its free, the less I am inclined to go watch it, what a waste of time!" "Better look forward to Youthful Frenzy!" "..." At the Youthful Frenzy shooting site. Gong Shus agent Wang Lan, looking haughtily, said to Gong Shu after seeing these Weibo posts: "See? I told you to listen to me, but you just wouldnt! A Chinese Odyssey, just hearing the name, could it be a good film?" "Yes, yes, Sister Wang is right." Gong Shu said helplessly: "But after all, Chen Feiyang is a big director, and since he invited me, I had to show some respect!" "Respect? How much is that worth? The little compensation he offers, what can that do?" Wang Lan disdainfully said, "I tell you, Gong Shu, in this world, money comes first, everything else is nonsense." "So, you mean to say following Lu Xiaobu would make more money?" Gong Shu asked in return. "Make money? Nonsense!" Wang Lan scoffed. "Ive realized, Lu Xiaobu is just simply a wastrel! Following him wont make you money. Otherwise, why would Lu Xiaobu invest only ten million in A Chinese Odyssey?" "That does make sense." Gong Shu nodded, agreeing with Wang Lan. "Alright, hurry up and get your makeup done, you need to make an appearance soon, and then attend an event which I have already arranged." Wang Lan proudly said: "See? This is the difference. Here, you just show your face, the rest will be handled by stand-ins. In A Chinese Odyssey, you work yourself to exhaustion and still get criticized. Which side is better, you understand now, right?" "Of course, Sister Wang is definitely right!" Gong Shu laughed: "Since Ive left, I wont think about that terrible movie anymore, Ill just focus on my Youthful Frenzy!" Wang Lans words, Gong Shu agreed with! And so goes the filming of Youthful Frenzy, where stars just need to lend their face, the rest will naturally be handled by post-production and body doubles. What? You say its not fair to the audience? Hah! Theres a bunch of willing ticket-buying fans! As long as it makes money, who cares about fairness! Surely not like A Chinese Odyssey? Exhausting oneself shooting a lousy film? Lu Xiaobu chuckled disdainfully at the comments online: "Ah, the ignorant masses! A second watching? If you dont average three watches, consider it my loss!" He had absolute confidence in A Chinese Odyssey! Confidence to beat all heavens expectations! Chapter 150 Uncomfortably Stuck in the Middle [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Uncomfortably Stuck in the Middle [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]June 21st. "Youthful Frenzy" and "A Chinese Odyssey" were released simultaneously! Have to say, the promotional activities for "Youthful Frenzy" did work. Looking at the national cinema scheduling rates, "Youthful Frenzy" occupied 30%, which was completely treated as a blockbuster by major cinemas. Meanwhile, "A Chinese Odyssey," under the dual influence of Chen Feiyang and Lu Xiaobu, only managed a mere 24% of screening rates. And thats not even the worst part. The most outrageous thing is, most screenings scheduled for "A Chinese Odyssey" were in garbage time slots, mostly before 12 PM and after 10 PM, almost ineffective. Theres also a stark contrast in the hall arrangements, "Youthful Frenzy" gets the large, high-end halls, while "A Chinese Odyssey" got the small, trashy halls. This was clearly a premeditated move coordinated between "Youthful Frenzy" and various big cinemas. The goal was to ensure "A Chinese Odyssey" fails completely. This scene had Chen Feiyang raging mad, making all sorts of phone calls. "Old Yang, arent you overdoing it!? Weve cooperated for so many years, and you set me up with these time slots? I agree, does Young Master Bu agree?" "Old Li, you son of a bitch, small hall? When has a movie of Chen Feiyang ever been played in a small hall?" "Go to hell, Zhou bastard, you still call me brother, and you didnt give me a single prime time slot? All bloody garbage times?!" "..." Chen Feiyang was on the other side cussing people out. The three women also couldnt contain their anger. "How much of a bribe did they give them!" Liang Lan was furious. "Xiaobu, are we really not fighting back? Theyre clearly bullying us! Wealthy as we are, are we afraid of them?" Wu Qianmin gnashed her teeth in anger. Previously, she always thought Lu Xiaobu only knew how to squander his fortune, now, she also understood the power of money. Got to say, its quite interesting. "Stinky Xiaobu, what the hell are you thinking?!" Zhou Jingyuan was ranting non-stop with her phone. Cursing Lu Xiaobu in her mouth, lashing out at the cinemas over the phone. "Relax." Lu Xiaobu continued calmly, full of confidence: "Isnt there the midnight slot still? Thats enough." "I!" Everyone totally lost it. They really didnt know where Lu Xiaobu got such confidence! That confidence is ridiculously excessive! ... Le Xiaojie, a typical college student, experiencing an ordinary romance. Hearing "Youthful Frenzy" was released, his girlfriendLin Rong, bought the tickets early to watch the movie with him. He wasnt really into watching, in fact, he extremely disliked these movies full of stars and their romances. What rubbish "Youthful Frenzy," is youth as beautiful as you imagine? Of course, that reason is just one of them! The key reason is, his girlfriend is completely engrossed the moment she sees any of those so-called male idols, completely ignoring him. Question: Do boys take their girlfriends to the movies to really watch the movie? Answer: Watch what movie, isnt it just to get a bit more exciting, to be bold, use mouths, or at least hands if all else fails! However... Imagine this, your girlfriend was just getting busy with you, about to finish! Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then a handsome face appears on the screen, and your girlfriend instantly stops, leaving you hanging, feeling uncomfortable? Even if your girlfriends hands are still moving, in her mind, she has already replaced your face, how can you feel good? Isnt this the same as publicly cuckolding you? Forget coming out then, it would be doubtful if you could even get it up! Despite this, he had no other choice but to wait for his girlfriend at the cinema entrance. While waiting, he checked todays movie listings. When he saw "A Chinese Odyssey," his eyes lit up. Right, theres "A Chinese Odyssey"! Its free anyway, and it only starts after "Youthful Frenzy" ends. There wont be many people inside, he could take Lin Rong to watch this movie, wouldnt that make up for the big gap? Director Chen Feiyang, I love you to death! Thanks for giving me naughty time! Currently, "A Chinese Odyssey" could only serve this purpose, frustratingly enough! ... "Le Xiaojie, over here." Liang Rong waved at Le Xiaojie. "Rongrong, youre here." Le Xiaojie hurried forward. He looked at how beautifully his girlfriend was dressed, even more so than when they went on dates, and felt a bit queasy. Its just a movie, not like youre meeting your idol, why dress up so gorgeously? But he just let that thought pass. "Lets go, lets get inside!" Liang Rong said excitedly, "You know, it wasnt easy getting these movie tickets, my girlfriends are all jealous of me!" "Alright, Ill go buy some popcorn." Le Xiaojie felt helpless. ... They entered the screening room. Soon, the seats were all occupied, even the crappy ones were bought. Looking at the sold-out rate for this show, its surprisingly a hundred percent! Terrifying! The movie started. Just as Le Xiaojie expected, unmasked Photoshop traces, all sorts of cheap special effects, plus a nonsensical storyline, this is all there is to "Youthful Frenzy." In laymans terms a trashy film! However, even so, as soon as those so-called male idols appeared, including his girlfriend and all the other girls, there were various exclamations and praises. Praising looks is one thing, but Le Xiaojie even heard them praising their acting skills. He was speechless his myriad thoughts couldnt compare to the single phrase, WQNMLGB! Of course, when his goddess appeared, he too would have rapid breaths and even imagine Liang Rong as his goddess! Cough cough, its just human nature! ... Finally, the movie ended. Liang Rong wanted to go home, but how could Le Xiaojie let her? After some coercing, he finally got Liang Rong to agree to watch "A Chinese Odyssey" with him. Actually, Liang Rong knew what Le Xiaojie was thinking, it was part push-part comply. They arrived at the screening room for "A Chinese Odyssey." The difference from "Youthful Frenzy" was clearly noticeable. Not only was the room smaller, but there were fewer people; most were either killing time or couples with the same idea. This is the sad reality of "A Chinese Odyssey!" Once the lights in the screening room went out. The room couldnt wait to start emitting various faint to clear panting sounds, some heavy, some excited! They exchanged looks understandingly. However... Le Xiaojie and Liang Rong were in the middle of trying hard. His expression was fierce, almost there! At that moment, his eyes unintentionally glanced at the screen. And then... His hands suddenly stopped, staring at the screen, dumbfounded. The fierce expression on his face began to soften, then twisted, and became fierce again. But this time, the fierceness was because he was trying to hold back his laughter! "Pfft, hahaha, Im dying of laughter, such idiots! All idiots!" Le Xiaojie couldnt hold it in anymore and burst out laughing. Liang Rong was furious: "Le Xiaojie, you did that on purpose, leaving me hanging!" "Rongrong, look, look at the movie, Im dying of laughter!" Le Xiaojie clutched his stomach, his body convulsing with laughter. Liang Rong didnt believe Le Xiaojies nonsense, but still instinctively looked at the screen. And then! "Pfft! I cant take it anymore! Too funny!" Liang Rong laughed too, completely suppressing her prior desires! To suppress such desires, it shows just how entertaining and hilarious "A Chinese Odyssey" really is! And this was just the beginning! Just a small beginning! Chapter 151: Terrifying First Day Box Office [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Terrifying First Day Box Office [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]At first, all there was in the theater were laughs. "What a jokester, entertaining!" "Seriously, these gags alone are worth the price of admission, not to mention its free now." "I almost cried during the robbers show of brotherhood, but damn, they were all just playing dead, holy shit, thats too awesome!" "And that Patriarch Bodhi, what a joker!" "Supreme Treasure actually used Patriarch Bodhis hand for a fire, thats just brutal!" "So talented, so talented, just knows how to have fun like Lu Xiaobu." "Its hilarious!" "..." But gradually, some peoples expressions started to change! Some were still laughing, clutching their bellies in pain. While others had unknowingly allowed tears to cover their faces. Some even sat there, dazed, staring at the screen, no longer knowing whether to laugh or to cry! Le Xiaojie was one of those who didnt know whether to laugh or to cry. He saw the shadow of his life in it. That nagging Tang Seng, so much like the parents, teachers, and seniors of the past. And that raging, wild, rebellious Sun Wukong who even considered joining forces with the Bull Demon King to eat Tang Seng, isnt he just like himself back then, so impatient and full of rebellious spirit? Having lost his power, the reborn Supreme Treasure as Sun Wukong, that is him going through the trials of society and university! Suffering setbacks, being deceived, moved, betrayed. Meeting that love-at-first-sight Bai Jingjing, though not perfect, but unforgettable. However, fate is cruel, Bai Jingjing died, just like his dead-end romance. Supreme Treasure, heart-wrenching, yearning endlessly, trying over and over to turn back time! However, he then met Zixia. Supreme Treasure doesnt want Zixia; he is still fixated on Bai Jingjing. But Bai Jingjing saw the tears left by Zixia in Supreme Treasures heart. Bai Jingjing knew Supreme Treasure was in love with Zixia, so she gave up and didnt marry Supreme Treasure. Le Xiaojie knows, be it Zixia or Bai Jingjing, ten thousand people have ten thousand choices. But if it were him, he would choose Zixia. Thinking this, Le Xiaojie tightly grasped Lin Rongs handshe is his Zixia! In his heart, he couldnt help but sighthis is what true youth is, with tears and laughter, joy and sorrow! Yet! Supreme Treasures ultimate, and most heart-wrenching choice arrived. To become Sun Wukong meant he could not love Zixia, but to save Zixia, he must become Sun Wukong. Seeing this scene, only two words flooded Le Xiaojies mindmaturity! Maturity is painful, maturity comes at a price! And with maturity, comes the end of youth! "Look, that guy looks just like a dog." With this line, the movie of over three hours concluded. That phrase, like a knife, pierced directly into Le Xiaojies heart. He held Lin Rongs hand even tighter, causing her pain. But Lin Rong said nothing, just gently embraced Le Xiaojie: "I dont need a hero who comes riding on a cloud of colors, I just want the silly Supreme Treasure." In this moment, there were no desires between them, only mutual understanding and love! The audience that laughed from beginning to end left; in their minds, this was simply a film that brought hearty laughter, well worth it! But many more sat in their seats, motionless. It seemed as though they understood, yet also not. The somewhat chaotic plot, piercing their hearts step by step. So they decidedto watch it once more! ... While the first batch of viewers were watching "A Chinese Odyssey." The opening day box office for "Youthful Frenzy" came out! million! Although this isnt the final tally, the number is already astonishing! "Amazing, truly big production!" "Incredible! To recoup the cost in just a few days!" "The movie is great; as long as it has my goddess, its a good movie!" "My male god is the most handsome!" "Speaking of which, what do you guys think the opening day box office for A Chinese Odyssey will be?" S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Zero! No, no, no, it should be a negative numberthey even have to pay the theaters!" "Hahaha! Thats something! A movie with a negative box office, thats breaking a record there." The distributors of Youthful Frenzy had already started celebrating their success! "Hahaha, fantastic! Weve made a fortune again!" "That Chen Feiyang is totally done for!" "Daring to compete with us in the ring! Scare them to death!" ... As time passed. The final box office tally was in! Youthful Frenzy box office: 190 million! Nearly broke two hundred million! Shocking! A Chinese Odyssey box office: 43 million! Not even breaking fifty million! However... This figure sent shivers down everyones spine! What? A Chinese Odyssey box office, 43 million! How is that possible? Werent all their tickets free? People would only be charged if they watched it a second time! In such a low number of screenings, such screening rooms, and such terrible time slots, people actually watched it a second time?! This has got to be a joke! The official Weibo account of Youthful Frenzy posted a tweet. "Some things are better not to deceive oneself." Though it wasnt explicitly stated, everyone understood! "So, A Chinese Odyssey is just inflating its own box office!" "Thats normal; Lu Xiaobu is a notorious spender! He couldnt save face after all the big talk, so he fluffed it himself!" "Well done, truly befitting of a notorious spender!" "..." At this time. Quietly, some film reviews for A Chinese Odyssey started appearing online. These fell into three categories. First: Its good, definitely not trash, a great comedy, lots of laughs, Id be willing to pay to watch it. Second: I didnt get it, but I felt sad, it is a tragedy. Third: I got it, but I dont want to say it, I feel like watching it a few more times and really could use a drink! Of course, there were those who sought attention, who didnt understand anything and randomly wrote reviews or comments in a nonsensical manner. But these people were completely slammed by those who actually saw the movie! Whether people thought A Chinese Odyssey was a comedy or a tragedy, they all lashed out at these people! Gradually, these strange reviews began catching the attention of netizens! "What the heck? Is it a comedy or a tragedy?" "Can one movie have two completely opposite meanings?" "Whats this a joke? Could this be some fake reviews by paid commenters?" "Forget it, its free anyway, Ill go see it for myself tomorrow!" "..." It must be said, if it were any other movie, this kind of ambiguous film review would have been harshly criticized! However, Lu Xiaobus strategy of a free screening for A Chinese Odyssey directly invalidated such thoughts! Most people had the same idea! Since its free, just go and see for yourself! Is it a comedy or a tragedy, or are those baffling reviews by those baffling people accurate? Youd know after watching! Thus, with such a mindset among the general netizens, a large number of viewers began pouring into theaters the next day to watch A Chinese Odyssey. And the counterattack of A Chinese Odyssey began at this moment! A complete, overwhelming counterattack, a counterattack that all film people couldnt comprehend, started! Chapter 152 Becoming a God [Extra - 1 for Bo Wen] Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Becoming a God [Extra Chapter 1 for Bo Wen]The next day, countless people, either with the mentality of watching for free because its a waste not to watch, or with the mindset of solving a puzzle, or even those who had watched it once yesterday and wanted to watch it again today, flooded into the cinemas. The screenings in the morning were not too many. But the midnight sessions, packed, still packed! Every auditorium was filled to the brim! The audience, some laughed loudly, some cried bitterly, and some remained silent. Everyone felt differently. And every time they watched it again, they would have a different feeling! Once, twice, three times! The sporadic bursts of laughter that sometimes came from the screening rooms would have been annoying in other movies. However... Here, there wasnt any, those who understood or were somewhat confused all showed an envious look towards those laughing heartily. They were once like that too! ... What followed was that online movie reviews became increasingly bizarre! Still the three categories: comedy, tragedy, incomprehensible, no need for elaboration! These three were almost neck and neck; every category had its supporters. But with these conflicting reviews, they didnt start feuding among themselves; very harmonious! And when some netizens asked some veteran critics to review the movie. This is how they responded. "Sorry, I cant comment!" "I cant review this film because any comment would be an insult!" "Thanks for the invite, but sorry, this is a film that cant be surpassed, just go watch it yourself! My review is meaningless!" "Watch it a few more times, after youve seen it more than three times, youll understand what we mean!" "..." As increasingly bizarre online opinions surfaced. The mere 10 million invested "A Chinese Odyssey" saw its box office surge dramatically! One hundred million... Two hundred million... Three hundred million... ... And the cinemas that had previously scheduled "A Chinese Odyssey" during off-peak times and in smaller theatres, started frantically adjusting. The rate of scheduling soared, some cinemas even reached fifty percent of screening times, all during prime time! But even then, tickets were hard to come by! Because many people just stayed in the cinema without leaving, going directly from the first show to the last! Cinemas received countless complaints every day, demanding them to increase the number of screenings. The major cinemas were at their wits end. This is already the maximum, if it goes any higher, the screening rate for other movies would be zero! Conversely, "Youthful Frenzy" saw a severe drop in box office sales! From 190 million on the first day to just 50 million the next day, and it continued to decline! At this rate, they dare not say whether their 480 million investment in "Youthful Frenzy" would break even! The distributors of "Youthful Frenzy" panicked! "What the hell? Whats going on? Why would such a crappy movie do this? Someone tell me!" "Damn it, it must be Lu Xiaobu pulling strings behind the scenes! Hes loaded!" "We wont accept this! Keep ramping up the publicity!" "..." A new round of publicity for "Youthful Frenzy" began! Even the male and female stars personally joined in. But, it had no effect! It remained the same! "Youthful Frenzy" continued to slide! "A Chinese Odyssey" continued to soar! Finally, someone spoke the truth online! "Enough, stop the damn publicity, if it werent for my girlfriend forcing me, I damn well wouldnt watch it! Now with A Chinese Odyssey, my girlfriend doesnt even watch your crappy movie, finally I can speak the truth!" Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Exactly, damn all the photoshop, are you treating us like fools?" "This is a movie? No plot, no acting, full of sloppy photoshop and you still have the nerve to rip us off?" "Were just being tolerant, otherwise we would have ditched you long ago!" "Go to hell!" "My goddess, let me tell you something, if you keep promoting that crappy movie, Im turning from a fan to a hater!" "Same here!" "+1" "+10086!" "..." Comments like these were countless! Under such tremendous pressure. The celebrities didnt dare to speak up anymore, they could see their fans were serious! Is a star without fans still a star? No, not at all! The distributor of "Youthful Frenzy" was furious! Are they kidding? A movie thats free for one viewing actually outperformed theirs at the box office? Are the viewers insane? Why watch "A Chinese Odyssey" over and over again rather than their movie?! They couldnt accept it! So, they all got made up and went to the cinema to watch "A Chinese Odyssey"! Well, that day they didnt come out of the cinema! Even they had to admit defeat! As distributors, they might stubbornly refuse to admit it, but as viewers... They were convinced! Completely convinced! Now, "A Chinese Odyssey" has firmly established its divine status! No one can deny it! No one can disapprove of it! ... "Young Master Bu, we won! We really won! Youre so awesome!" Chen Feiyang was as excited as a child, hopping and jumping while on the phone! "Alright, alright, got it." Lu Xiaobu responded indifferently: "It was bound to happen!" "Young Master Bu, Im telling you, Im going to win an award! Its all thanks to you, Young Master Bu!" Chen Feiyang couldnt contain his excitement and kept on babbling. "Arent you annoying?" Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone directly: "Really, how old are you, acting like a kid, is it necessary?" "Um..." Liang Lan and the others were speechless! Young Master! Is it really not necessary? A movie that straightforwardly achieves divine status! Its natural for Director Chen Feiyang to be excited! And you, just hanging up the phone! Sigh! Well, we dont understand your methods anyway! "Young Master, how did you know for sure it would be a hit?" Liang Lan asked with sparkling eyes. She was convinced, once again convinced. Young Masters decisions are always so wildly imaginative, yet so unfathomably brilliant! Amazing! "Yes, Xiaobu, youre so incredible! Did you always know we would definitely win?" Wu Qianmin was also full of admiration. This lady was completely convinced by Lu Xiaobu. "Stinky Xiaobu! You just wouldnt tell me, right! Ive been cursed at for days!" Zhou Jingyuan gritted her teeth and said. Shed been arguing online with people and getting harshly insulted every day! "Want to know?" Lu Xiaobu laughed nonchalantly! "Yes!" The three ladies nodded simultaneously, eagerly waiting for Lu Xiaobu to enlighten them. "Well, tonight, whoever serves my bed, Ill tell her." Lu Xiaobu smirked. "Hmph!" The three ladies immediately turned away: "Ignoring you! Annoying!" "Dont! How about a kiss?" Lu Xiaobu hastily backpedaled! The three ladies got up and walked away! "Stop, stop, a hand will also do! It will do!" Lu Xiaobu retreated again! The three ladies completely left! "Ah, these women! Their thirst for knowledge is just not strong! Unwilling to make any effort!" Lu Xiaobu sighed. And then... That night! The door to Lu Xiaobus room was quietly opened! Sss! Chapter 153: Conspiracy of the Three Women [Please Bookmark, Recommend] Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Conspiracy of the Three Women [Please Bookmark, Recommend]Behold my Time Travel Technique Time Reversal! Hmm, actually its just going back to the time right after Lu Xiaobu finished dinner and just went upstairs to sleep. The three ladies, led by Zhou Jingyuan, quietly went to the bottom of the stairs, whispering among themselves. "Hey, are you really not curious about A Chinese Odyssey?" Zhou Jingyuan said softly. "What can we do? Young Master wont spill the beans." Liang Lan was itching with curiosity. While Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan were merely curious, Liang Lan was in this kind of business. How could she not be moved by seeing such a masterful plan? "Thats right, Xiaobu is so annoying!" Wu Qianmin nodded in agreement. "Tonight, we... er!" Zhou Jingyuan raised her eyebrows playfully and mischievously suggested. "Tonight, what do you plan to do?" Liang Lan was shocked; this little firecracker was too daring! But then again, it made sense. After all, this firecracker had shared a room with the Young Master before. It was only natural for her to be so bold. "Do nothing much! Just..." The firecracker revealed an evil grin, and with one hand made a circle then moved it up and down: "Tie up his arms and legs, and since he wanted us to use our hands, lets give him a little tease, if he doesnt talk, heh heh!" "Aiya! What are you even saying!" Wu Qianmins face instantly turned a fiery red. Among the three women, she was the most innocent. Even Liang Lan, though, was blushing with embarrassment at the devilish suggestion. "Are you in or out? If not, Im going alone!" Zhou Jingyuan was actually a bit embarrassed too, but still tried to maintain her composure. "No way!" Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin immediately replied instinctively. They couldnt let the little firecracker go alone; who knew what might happen? If they... if by any chance... they did that, it would be a huge loss! "Lets go together, together." Just then, a voice reached their ears. The three women looked at each other, wondering who was speaking. sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Looking up, they saw Lus father at the top of the stairs, nodding frantically at them. "Lu...Uncle...Lu... we..." Whoosh The three womens faces instantly turned big apple red, so red they almost bled. This kind of thing, being overheard by Uncle Lu... They were mortified! It was like being caught in flagrante delicto, but with three people at once. "Its fine, its fine, Ive been through it all, I understand." Uncle Lu quickly reassured, then looked around and whispered, "Ill tell you! Xiaobus sleep habits are different from others; he falls into a deep sleep very quickly." "So you must go half an hour after he falls asleep, thats when hes sound asleep. Dont wait until midnight or the wee hours like others, because by that time Xiaobu will be in light sleep and any little noise could wake him up." Lus father, in the capacity of a concerned father, unhesitatingly betrayed his sons secrets to the three women! The three ladies listened with red faces and ears, but couldnt help listening attentively. After Lus father had finished speaking, he gestured the good luck sign to the women: "Go, in about ten minutes it should be good, fight on!" The ladies faces turned even redder! After Lus father left. "Did you... did you... hear that?" The little firecracker stammered due to embarrassment: "Since Uncle Lu said so, you guys better... better decide quickly if were going or not." "Go! Were going!" Liang Lan was ready to take the plunge; she couldnt let the firecracker go alone. She was there to watch over her, yes, just to keep an eye on her. She found herself a very good reason. "Im going too!" Seeing that, Wu Qianmin also exclaimed eagerly. They were all bad, both were going - if she, who had received the Inheritance, didnt go, it wouldnt be right! Eh, it seems that Xiaobu took my Inheritance and hasnt returned it to me yet. Hmm, this silly girl finally remembered about the inheritance. "Alright then, we all agree, no one is allowed to feel sorry for Lu Xiaobu!" Little Hot Pepper raised her hand to high-five! "Okay!" Liang Lan bit her red lips to seal the pact with a high-five! "En!" Wu Qianmin blushed and completed the pact with a high-five! ... Following the guidance of Lus father, the three girls quietly waited for ten minutes before, with bent backs like thieves, they stealthily approached Lu Xiaobus room. Although the three girls were very cautious, their half-baked stealth skills were no match for Zhang Meng and Li Jin. Therefore... As Zhang Meng stood guard on the night shift, he slightly turned his eye, revealing a meaningful smile, then looked straight ahead once more, as if he hadnt seen anything. Li Jin, who was sleeping, got up and quietly opened the door, wanting to see what was happening. As soon as his head popped out, Zhang Meng pushed it back in: "Go to sleep, its none of your business." "Oh." Li Jin helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Although his strength was now greater than Zhang Mengs, there was no negotiating when it came to Zhang Meng dealing with him. The three girls were unaware of what had transpired and were quite proud, thinking they were undiscovered. Finally, the three girls reached their destinationthe doorway to Lu Xiaobus room. Once they opened this door, their plan would officially begin. However, at this moment, all three girls were somewhat breathless and weak-kneed. Too shy! "Shall we... just forget it?" Liang Lan started to get cold feet. "No way, we cant give up. If you two wont go, Ill go in alone. Then Ill just conveniently sleep inside and see what you do." Little Hot Pepper threatened viciously, though she was also feeling weak herself. "Lets go!" Wu Qianmin immediately said. She was threatened. "Okay! Once were inside, no one is allowed to speak!" Zhou Jingyuan instructed. The two girls nodded their heads. Zhou Jingyuan used Liang Lans key to unlock the door. "Click!" Then she silently pushed open the door. Lu Xiaobus sleeping figure was immediately in front of the three girls. Their hearts raced wildly, each with a flushed face gasping for air. Zhou Jingyuan signalled with her eyes, the other two girls nodded, pursed their red lips, crouched on the floor, and stealthily moved towards the bed, or rather, inched forward. It was just a few short meters. But their journey was one filled with trepidation. Their hearts pounding, it felt exhilarating like they were stealing something! With every step, they had to pause, encourage each other with their eyes, and then cautiously scan their surroundings. Sometimes, Lu Xiaobu turning over in his sleep would scare the girls into lying flat on the ground, motionless. One step, another step, and yet another! A distance that would ordinarily take only a few steps to cover, they torturously inched over in ten minutes. Finally! The three girls were each in position. Zhou Jingyuan was the boldest, positioning herself near the window at the southern side of the bed. Liang Lan stood ready at the foot of the bed. And Wu Qianmin, the most timid girl, chose the closest position at the northern side of the bed. The three girls looked at Lu Xiaobu, who was sound asleep in bed, and revealed a triumphant yet shy smile. Their plan was going smoothly thus far! Next was to get serious! Go for it! Chapter 154: I Fell Asleep, You Guys Continue [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 154: Chapter 154: I Fell Asleep, You Guys Continue [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]The three women exchanged glancesit was time for action. Then... One second... Two seconds... Three seconds... The three women stood frozen in place for three seconds. Liang Lan made hand gestures and said in lip language, Didnt we agree to tie him up? Wheres the rope? Wu Qianmin also gestured, Yeah, Zhou Jingyuan, wheres your rope? Zhou Jingyuan with an embarrassed face said, I didnt bring it. Liang Lan and Wu Qianmins mouths fell open, almost shouting out. No rope, what kind of binding is this? Really, could this be any more ridiculous? Wu Qianmin grew anxious, What do we do now? Should we go out and get it? Liang Lan shook her head, No way, going out and coming in again, making two trips, who can guarantee that the Young Master wont wake up? Zhou Jingyuan was both embarrassed and anxious, Forget it, lets not tie him up, just go straight in. While saying this, she reached her small hand under Lu Xiaobus blanket and began to feel around. Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin were shockedwas she really being so bold? "Hisss!" Zhou Jingyuan suddenly inhaled sharply. Her pretty face flushed red, both shocked and excited... er, no excitement, no excitement! She looked incredulously at Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin. The two women paused and lip-read, Whats wrong? Its huge! Zhou Jingyuan almost shouted it out, her mouth gaping open. How huge? Probably too big to fit in her mouth... cough cough, back to the main topic. Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin nodded calmlyregarding this issue, they had already discussed it. Really! Zhou Jingyuan thought they didnt believe her and anxiously gestured, If you dont believe it, feel it for yourselves! While speaking, her hand unconsciously moved. So... It grew bigger! Got it! The two women nodded their heads. Really! Zhou Jingyuan became even more anxious. She thought they didnt believe her. Then... In her emotional agitation, she accidentally used a bit of force. Its over! Lu Xiaobu was sleeping soundly. He seldom dreamed during sleep. But today he dreamt that he was enveloped by an incredibly soft object. Though the feeling of being surrounded was uncomfortable, he felt oddly... thrilled. Moreover, it seemed his "brother" was also rising! He was puzzleddid I awaken some strange attribute? Then... "Hisss!" Lu Xiaobu suddenly jolted awake, his eyes snapped open, and he sat up suddenly: "Motherfucker! Damn it!" "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu looked bewilderedly at Wu Qianmin, who stood to his left not knowing what to do, at Liang Lan in front of him with an embarrassed face, and at Zhou Jingyuan who was leaning over the bed with her hand still under his blanket. Well, he could still feel that touch, not bad, quite thrilling. So... He lay down again! "Alright, I was just sleepwalking, Im asleep again now, keep going." Lu Xiaobu spoke as if he was completely serious. Who cares why, the feeling is thrilling, keep going, keep going! He was fine, but the faces of the three women instantly turned all red, like they were about to bleed! Their bodies all went a bit limp. Especially Zhou Jingyuan, she was completely frozen! That hand neither moved nor stayed still. What... what... what to do now? They felt like little boys caught by their parents while watching adult videos. Feeling guilty, scared, embarrassed, uneasy all over, and even possibly forgetting to pull up their pants! The next second! The three girls scurried outside! Each running faster than the last. They even forgot their original purpose. "Hey hey, whats going on? Leaving me hanging like this." Lu Xiaobu was now anxious. What kind of situation is this? This isnt fair! At least cool me down! But... No use, the three girls had long since run off without a trace. "Oh my goodness! What use do I have for this iron rod?!" Lu Xiaobu was speechless and choking back words. Actually, he could have pounced on one of them just now! But... He just didnt know whom to pounce on! As a result, he missed a good opportunity! Sigh! "One day, Ill have to show you all my stick technique, and make sure youre all beaten to a pulp!" Lu Xiaobu snorted coldly, and could only turn around to go find the fifth girl! ... The next morning. Lu Xiaobu came down from upstairs. The three girls didnt dare to look directly at Lu Xiaobu, each of them looking up at the ceiling as if there were something interesting up there. Lu Xiaobu, however, noticed two strangers had arrived at his home. Both people had a strong scholarly aura, wearing glasses, apparently learned individuals. However, oddly enough, they both had a strong smell of gunpowder about them. It was confusing. "Who are they?" Lu Xiaobu asked, looking at the two men. "You must be Lu Xiaobu!" The slightly thinner man on the left spoke first: "I am a professor from Emperor University, my name is Sun Haiqing, and I am here because..." Sun Haiqing hadnt finished speaking when the man on the right interrupted him: "I am a professor from Qinghua School, Hou Zheng, Im here to invite you to join our school." "Hou Zheng, I was speaking first, dont you know about first come, first served?" Sun Haiqing was annoyed at being interrupted and scolded Hou Zheng. But he didnt forget to continue speaking to Lu Xiaobu: "Come to Emperor University! We sincerely look forward to your arrival!" "What does first come, first served have to do with this? Lu Xiaobu is obviously going to choose Qinghua. How is Beijing University better than us? Listen to how people say it, Qinghua, Emperor, Qinghua, Emperor, with Qinghua being mentioned first, so of course, I get to speak first." Hou Zheng righteously articulated a bunch of flawed logic. "Youre just twisting words to win, how can that decide who speaks first?" Sun Haiqing became increasingly irritated: "Also, since when was Qinghua better than us? Emperor University is ranked 54th in the world university rankings while Qinghua is only 65th, its clear whos better!" "Wait a minute, wait a minute, first tell me clearly whats going on, Im still confused." Lu Xiaobu quickly interrupted their argument. Whats all this about? "I!" Both men began to speak at the same time, looking like they were about to quarrel again. "Shut up!" Lu Xiaobu quickly shouted, then turned to Liang Lan: "Sister Lan, you explain." "Cough cough." Liang Lan cleared her throat awkwardly and said: "These two are professors from Qinghua and Emperor University, here for recruitment. They both arrived last night at 1 AM, in order not to disturb Young Masters sleep, we intended to have them come again today, but neither of them would leave, waiting until now." Listening to Liang Lans explanation. Both professors had a strange feeling. During their recruitment, wherever they went, people were always polite and would mostly take the student away immediately. Here at Lu Xiaobus, they both personally came, and Lu Xiaobu was still sleeping, not even bothering with them. But, they also understood, Lu Xiaobu had the clout to do that, nothing could be done! "Oh!" Lu Xiaobu nodded, immediately understanding! These were two prestigious universities fighting for a student! As for the student, it obviously didnt take much to guess, it was him! However, what puzzled him was, he didnt even know his own scores yet, and these two had already arrived? The two university professors saw that Lu Xiaobu understood, their eyes lit up, eagerly waiting for Lu Xiaobus answer! ... Chapter break, nosy parkers keep out!

[Please collect, please recommend] Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Going Too Far! [Please collect, please recommend]Wu Fengs face was deathly pale, as if he were half dead. The most attractive thing to him was neither the top spot on the Newcomer Rich List nor the planner of "A Chinese Odyssey," but the phrase college entrance exam top scorer! How could that be possible?! College entrance exam top scorer?! He believed that no one was more terrified than he was upon hearing this news! After all, during the college entrance exam, he sat right next to Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu answered so quickly, handing in papers ahead of time for every subject without even checking. And now hes the top scorer of the college entrance exam?! Is this some kind of joke? He would never believe it, even if beaten to death! But the words of two professors from Qinghua Emperor University and Emperor Electrics Principal forced him to believe! The Lu Xiaobu he once thought lacked any talent was indeed the genuine college entrance exam top scorer! But beyond the shock, there was also a hint of envy. This is what it means to be the college entrance exam top scorer! Qinghua Emperor begged him to join, and he was indifferent. A simple phone call to any university, and the principal would offer him a professors position on the spot! In this moment, he finally understood what disparity meant! Its not scary if someone naturally starts off on a higher rung than you, but it is if not only do they start higher, theyre racing you in an airplane while youre on legs! Ask yourself, just having two legs, how despairing is that! Actually, thats still not despair. Because, his legs are about to be broken! "Go to Qinghua," Wu Feng, "we at Emperor dont need a student with your poor character!" Sun Haiqing said through gritted teeth. "Let it be, go to Emperor! Our Qinghua Temple is too small to accommodate a giant Buddha like you!" Hou Zheng also sneered coldly. Grades are never the sole criterion for selecting talent. Untalented and immoral, merely rubbish! But talented and immoral, thats hazardous! Lu Xiaobu, loaded with wealth, talent, and peoples support, yet still courteous and capable of stepping back for a broader view! Whereas this semi-talented Wu Feng pushes aggressively and bites without reason! Such a person, the better you train them, the more of a cancer they become for society! "What! No! I! You!" The color drained from Wu Fengs face in an instant! His legs were broken! Both Qinghua and Emperor didnt want him, and even if he could find a university that wanted him, he would still become everyones laughingstock! There he was, falling to his knees, "Dont, please give me a chance, I really made a mistake!" Seeing Wu Fengs condition, Sun Haiqing and Hou Zheng exchanged glances, their disappointment even deeper! If Wu Feng had kept his pride, they might have considered being lenient. However, the moment he heard this news, his immediate action completely shattered their hope for him. "Lu Xiaobu, since youve decided, I wont insist," Sun Haiqing, without even glancing at Wu Feng, told Lu Xiaobu, "But if you have time, come visit Emperor. Ill personally be your guide!" "Indeed, we at Qinghua also welcome you warmly!" Hou Zheng sincerely nodded his head. Even though Lu Xiaobu had made up his mind, what if he changed his mind? Anything could happen, couldnt it? At this moment, the difference was clear! While they ignored Wu Feng, who was begging them, they still couldnt forget Lu Xiaobu, who had already decided on his school! "I will visit when I have time." Lu Xiaobu nodded his head, then left his contact numbers for the two professors. These were scholarly people; he wouldnt insult them with vulgar rewards. "Goodbye!" The two professors nodded with a smile. They grew increasingly fond of Lu Xiaobu, who was neither servile nor overbearing, unpredictable in actions but clear in moral boundaries! It seems you really cant believe everything you read online! The two walked straight out of the private room. "Professor, professors!" Wu Feng scrambled after them! But at this point, he had already become a complete joke. ... The banquet continued, with nobody here considering Wu Feng at all, as it was just Wu Feng jumping about on his own from the start! After a delightful meal. The group left the private room. But they found that the hotel bellboys were all surrounding a bunch of people, seemingly in an argument. "Whats happening?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Young Master Bu, they are paparazzi, here to take sneak photos of you." The bellboy who was previously tipped immediately said, "After I spotted them, I had the guys encircle them." This bellboy was clever as a mirror. Taking money from someone, warding off their disasters. Although it was Young Master Bu who tipped him, he had to do what he could. Besides, once Young Master Bu found out, wouldnt he reward him more? "Great! Ill give ten thousand, and five thousand for each of the other brothers!" Lu Xiaobu immediately laughed, this bellboy was interesting! "Thank you, Young Master Bu! May Young Master Bu reign over Jianghu for generations!" All the bellboys suddenly cheered loudly, everyone grinning from ear to ear! Young Master Bu was indeed generous! Chen Feiyang and a group of prominent celebrities were all marveling. Although it was a celebration party and getting photographed wouldnt matter, not being photographed was obviously better! "Young Master Bu is really something else!" "Yes, when we were secretly photographed before, those bellboys would at least not help the paparazzi if they werent collaborating. But with Young Master Bu, without him even saying a word, the bellboys took initiative and did the job!" "Such a gap, such a gap!" "Jealous, so jealous!" "..." "All you paparazzi, hand over the stuff." Lu Xiaobu said to them. The paparazzi looked at each other, none too pleased. This was all explosive material! Sarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What? You say its not explosive news? No worries, modern editors can start with one picture; the content is all made up, so everything becomes explosive material! "Hand it over, one thousand each, or Ill break your legs!" Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and said blandly. "Young Master Bu, please take them!" The paparazzi immediately surrendered their weapons! Yeah, better not provoke him! The celebrities dare not lay a hand on them. But Lu Xiaobu was different! He was a prodigal son who never cared for reputation. Better quit while youre ahead! A thousand is still a thousand. While Zhang Meng was collecting the memory cards from the paparazzi, Chen Feiyangs phone rang. "Old Li, whats up?" It was Principal Li from Emperor Electric. "Is Lu Xiaobu with you?" It was perfectly normal for Principal Li, the head of a school, to call Lu Xiaobu by his name. "He is!" Chen Feiyang nodded. "Good, please inform him that we have a freshman summer camp and he must grace us with his presence!" Principal Li said earnestly. "Freshman summer camp? Since when does Emperor Electric have that?" Chen Feiyang was stunned! Principal Li: "Ive just decided on it." "Uhm... what about the time?" Chen Feiyang was speechless; this was clearly just to curry favor with Lu Xiaobu to ensure he wouldnt back out! Well, he was an honorary professor at Emperor Electric after all and of course would still help his alma mater. "It depends on when Lu Xiaobu is available!" "And the location..." "Wherever Lu Xiaobu wants to go play!" "I..." Chen Feiyang was speechless! Old buddy, thats a bit over the top! Thats just too blatant! Chapter 159: One Hundred Thousand Dragon Capturing Hands【Please Collect, Please Recommend】 Chapter 159: Chapter 159: One Hundred Thousand Dragon Capturing HandsPlease Collect, Please RecommendAfter releasing the Dragon Capturing Hand that cost 100,000 yuan. Under Lu Xiaobus incredibly expectant gaze... The hand made contact with the table... Only to hear a faint thud! "Thump!" The table was completely fine. This energy was like releasing a loud fart, utterly powerless! It was even quieter than the sound of an average person slamming the table when angry! At that moment, Lu Xiaobus face fell: "System, come out here, I promise I wont beat you to death, come on out!" Did he just fart away 100,000 yuan? If it was just to fart. Why didnt he spend ten yuan on a radish to eat? He might even have been able to fart several more times! "Easy, easy, dont get worked up, Host!" The system hurriedly advised: "This is normal! Think about it, what can you buy with a wasteful amount of 100,000?" "One attribute point?" Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment. "Right! Think about it, how strong is one Strength Attribute point? Youre at 100 Strength Attribute, how strong are you? So, with 100,000 yuan, youre getting one percent of your strength. How powerful do you want that to be?" the system hastily explained. "Hmm, that makes sense, so you mean to say, if I want to unleash my full strength in one hit, I would need ten million?" Lu Xiaobu said speechlessly: "Thats freaking expensive!" "Its a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, right? Besides, this is a remote assault! And think about it, if you charge up a hundred million, isnt that ten times the strength! What about ten billion?" The system tempted him with good counsel. "That makes sense." Lu Xiaobu nodded, accepting the explanation. After all, it made sense, it wasnt just a bunch of nonsense! "Cough cough, since thats the case, Host, what about that four billion thing..." The system continued with an embarrassed chuckle. "Alright, consider those four billion a reward for you!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Phew, thank you, Host! Host, youre so handsome!" the system immediately started flattering Lu Xiaobu. Have you ever seen such an unashamed system?! Now that he understood the power of this move, Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to test it anymore. In the end, it was just ten million, equivalent to his full strength in one hit. Of course, smaller exertions of strength were still useful. After all, its fine for things like blowing up a skirt... cough cough cough! Then... He stepped out the door and saw Liang Lan in a long dress... "Ha, Dragon Capturing Hand for 100,000!" Lu Xiaobu went straight for it with one move. "Whoosh!" A breeze blew by. Lu Xiaobu took a careful look! Hiss! Black lace! Cough cough cough! "Ouch, Young Master!" Liang Lan hastily held down her skirt, a mix of embarrassment and annoyance in her voice: "Why is there a draft in the house?" "Must be the window that hasnt been closed properly!" Lu Xiaobu fibbed convincingly! "Does Young Master Bu have any plans?" Although Liang Lan instinctively felt it must have something to do with the Young Master, she found no proof and had to let it go! "Not much planned, anything going on lately?" Lu Xiaobu said, somewhat bored. As he spoke, he took out his phone. "Lately our industries are doing quite well, no other issues, but the number of imitators is growing by the day, Juechen phones, Creation Book City, Juechen live streaming, even cola has its imitators popping up." Liang Lan reported. "Thats normal, the world is never short of such people." Lu Xiaobu shrugged, unconcerned. He couldnt possibly force everyone to listen to him. "Then theres nothing else." Liang Lan answered. "Alright then." Lu Xiaobu nodded. 100,000 for the Dragon Capturing Hand. Huh Right, lets read that again! "Young Master, its definitely you!" Liang Lan said with embarrassment. "I dont know, I dont know anything." Lu Xiaobu darted into the room. ... The next day. Early in the morning. "Young Master, Principal Li of Emperor Electric said that the summer camp is almost ready, and hes asked us to assemble at the school." Liang Lan said. "Great, call Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan, lets go together." Lu Xiaobu said cheerfully. Its nice to be able to go out and play. "They probably cant go." Liang Lan shrugged: "Theyre busy with college applications, both looking for schools closer to home." No choice there. Young Master got a special recruitment, which has nothing to do with money. Its Young Masters fame and the influence of A Chinese Odyssey that did it. So, even though they didnt take the arts exam either, Young Master can get into Emperor Electric, but Zhou Jingyuan and Wu Qianmin cant! They were sensible and didnt insist. Instead, they chose to settle for nearby schools. It wouldnt make much of a difference anyway! "What about Li Jin? Why havent I seen him?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. "Oh, Li Jin is in cultivation, says hes about to make a breakthrough. Ill go call him out." Zhang Meng immediately said. Nothing is more important than the Young Master. "Why call him out if hes about to make a breakthrough?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "Weve never practiced this stuff; what if he experiences backlash like in the novels, what then?" "Yes!" Zhang Meng took the order. "Just the three of us will go." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily: "Right, bring the dumbass. Wheres the dumbass?" "Hes curling up inside the RV; the air conditioner is on, nice and cool." Liang Lan said. "Come on, Sister Lan, you spoil it way too much! The whole RV just for it to use? And with the air conditioning on? Is there any other dog in this world like him?" Lu Xiaobu was speechless: "This dumbass is getting lazier and lazier, huh!" Look at this life: even a dumbass starts to live opulently and wastefully! Seriously! Such a lazy dog! Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... RV, private plane! The three of them, Lu Xiaobus group, arrived in Imperial. After landing in Imperial and taking a deep breath of the fresh smog, everyone felt invigorated! "Sister Lan, remember to buy a few apartments in Imperial when you have time, and also a few cars for backup. Well probably be coming to Imperial often in the future." Lu Xiaobu walked out of the airport, casually instructing. "Got it, Young Masters orders are noted." Liang Lan nodded. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, people around suddenly crumbled, some rolling their eyes, others speechless. "A few apartments? Do you know the price of real estate in Imperial?!" "Listen to this bragging, wants to buy a few apartments, you cant afford even one." "Youngsters these days, love to boast!" "..." While they were talking, a reasonably sized team walked out of the airport. In the group, there were bodyguards, makeup artists, agents, and so on. Such an entourage with no bounds! At the forefront was a celebrity. Coincidentally, Lu Xiaobu remembered him. Its that prick Gong Shu who called A Chinese Odyssey trash! He had a face full of arrogance, not at all showing the weeping and crestfallen state Chen Feiyang had described. However, upon closer inspection, one could still see the signs of worry in his eyes. Lu Xiaobu chuckled. Prick, arent you unlucky, bumping into me? If we hadnt met, itd be one thing, but meeting me, think Ill let you off easy? Dare to insult A Chinese Odyssey?! Chapter 160: You’re Not Even Worthy to Grovel at My Feet【Extra for Chief Patron Wei Mi Dan Dan】 Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Youre Not Even Worthy to Grovel at My FeetExtra for Chief Patron Wei Mi Dan DanWill Lu Xiaobu choose to use the newly acquired Dragon Capturing Hand? No, definitely not! Dealing with this kind of person requires the most direct methods! And after beating him up, to make him call me daddy! ... Gong Shu is welcoming his fans cheers. A crowd of frenzied fans, held back by bodyguards. "Gong Shu, Gong Shu, we love you!" "Gong Shu, you are the handsomest!" "Im going to faint!" "..." Paparazzi are also busily snapping photos. "Finally, a celebrity arrives." "Although this one isnt top-tier, hell do." "Here comes the news." "..." At this moment, Gong Shu appears incredibly aloof. But only he knows his inner torment. Being abandoned by "A Chinese Odyssey" really hurts. He desperately needs exposure! This is why his fans knew to come pick him up from the airport now. After all, if he hadnt deliberately leaked the information, how would so many fans have come? This makes him secretly curse! Damn Chen Feiyang, damn Lu Xiaobu, if not for you guys, I should be just like those overnight sensations! At that moment, he saw someone waving at him. The gesture was as frivolous as calling a dog. It was none other than Lu Xiaobu, who he had just cursed in his heart! The people around Lu Xiaobu also noticed his gesture and were immediately startled. "Young man, do you have a death wish, dont you see that the other party is a celebrity?" "Yeah, its normal to bluff a bit; were just bored and chatting, but dont do such things for the sake of face, be careful or his fans will tear you apart!" "Just leave, stop making trouble!" "..." Gong Shus fans also noticed Lu Xiaobus gesture. "Who the hell is that!" "Is this disrespecting our Gong Shu? Sisters, get ready to go up!" "Really got tired of living!" "..." However... Before they could react! They saw Gong Shu, who was previously full of himself, instantly put on a flattering, obsequious smile. He ran over like a dog. "Make way! Make way!" Gong Shu charged into his fans, relentlessly pushing through! He really hated himself for calling so many fans now. That was Lu Xiaobu! Even if it was just a photo with him, it could be a beautiful turnaround for him! "Ouch!" His fans were continually shoved aside, some even fell to the ground, but he didnt care at all as he headed straight for Lu Xiaobu. Fans? Now, all these fans put together werent as important as a photo op with Lu Xiaobu! As long as he could show a bit of warmth and use Lu Xiaobu a little, hed win! The onlooking crowd went wild. "Has Gong Shu gone mad? Is he actually hitting his fans?" "The paparazzi are all here! Is he seeking death?" "Goodness, is he sick? Why is he freaking out all of a sudden?!" "..." "Young Master Bu!" As people were toppling over, Gong Shu rushed over. He bent his back and fawningly called out in front of Lu Xiaobu. He had completely forgotten about cursing Lu Xiaobu just moments ago. Hearing Gong Shus address, everyone was dumbfounded! "Young Master Bu?" "Could it be that Young Master Bu?" "Very likely! How many people are called Young Master Bu nowadays?" "Hiss! Did we just mock Young Master Bu for being broke?" "It seems like we tempted fate!" "..." The paparazzi were even more excited, setting up their long lenses and cameras! "Explosive news, explosive news! This trip was worth it!" "Yeah, I heard that Gong Shu has been blaming Lu Xiaobu, accusing Xiaobu of kicking him out of the team!" "Not just that, have you guys forgotten the video Gong Shu posted before A Chinese Odyssey was released?" "I think theres going to be a fight! After all, those who have crossed Young Master Bu didnt end up well!" "A fight? You mean Gong Shu getting beaten up!" "..." "Youre not satisfied with me, are you?" Lu Xiaobu looked down at Gong Shu as he spoke. "No! Absolutely not! Its all nonsense! How could I possibly be dissatisfied with Young Master Bu? Nonsense, all nonsense!" Gong Shu shook his head repeatedly, like a dog begging for mercy. Dumbass glanced at him with disdainIm not even this shameless. "So..." Lu Xiaobu said slowly. "So?" Gong Shu was taken aback. "Slap!" Lu Xiaobu stretched out his hand and slapped Gong Shu across the face. Bang! A clear handprint appeared on Gong Shus pale face. "Now what? Do you hate me?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. This kind of person really is the scum of the earth. Use fans and then use me? Use me? Youre not even worthy to lick my boots. Hearing this crisp sound. The whole airport fell into silence. Everyone watched this scene in disbelief. Especially the paparazzi. Theyve seen plenty of rich folks and built even more stars. But which tycoon would dare to strike, in the way Lu Xiaobu did, so openly? The most important thing is, this slap was so damn satisfying! "Well struck!" "Young Master Bu is awesome! Great!" "This kind of scum celebrity deserves to be hit!" "Beat his ass!" "..." "I!" Gong Shu trembled with rage. He thought Lu Xiaobu might teach him a lesson. But he didnt expect it to be so direct, and so humiliating even after he had humbled himself! Now, he was deadlocked! Should he be dissatisfied or not? If he hates, Lu Xiaobu will play him to death, gg! If he doesnt hate, the paparazzi will play him to death, gg as well! He regretted coming here! sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Now its over; he hit his fans, kowtowed to Lu Xiaobu, and now got hit by Lu Xiaobu. Hes completely become a negative example! This is simply a death sentence! "You what?" Lu Xiaobu asked indifferently, his eyes full of disdain. "No, nothing!" Gong Shu trembled with rage but didnt dare to retort or even raise his eyes, not willing to let Lu Xiaobu see the anger and humiliation in them! "Trash!" Lu Xiaobu scoffed and turned to leave! At that moment, a paparazzo suddenly lunged forward, collapsing to the ground. From a low angle, he perfectly captured that gaze. From this perspective, the high and mighty Lu Xiaobu, with a disdainful look, towering over Gong Shu, was truly like an Emperor! Damn cool! This paparazzo had a premonition that this photo would be the pinnacle of his career, and it would bring in a large income! The next second. "Thats a good shot, reward, ten thousand." Lu Xiaobu approached the paparazzo, looked down at the photo, and said with a smile. "I wont sell it!" The paparazzo immediately hugged his camera excitedly. He would never sell this photo to the death. "Just a reward for you, take it. Remember to give me a copy; I quite like it!" Lu Xiaobu smiled, then walked away nonchalantly. The paparazzo watched Lu Xiaobus departing figure and swallowed, "Thank you, Young Master Bu!" Lu Xiaobu stretched out his hand in a farewell gesture. Seeing this scene, countless paparazzi started snapping photos frantically again. Look at how Young Master Bu respects them paparazzi, and then look at Gong Shu who hit a fan, Young Master Bu is righttrash! Chapter 161: Heat or Fire? [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Heat or Fire? [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]On the way there, Lu Xiaobu made a stop at the supermarket and changed his clothes. "Young Master." Liang Lan helplessly looked at Lu Xiaobu, who was wearing big shorts and flip-flops, and cooed in discontent, "Were going to Emperor Electric now, why are you wearing that?" "Its comfortable!" Lu Xiaobu laughed, "With this damn hot weather, its uncomfortable to wear anything thicker." "Alright, alright." Liang Lan was also helpless, as Young Master Bu always liked to stand out from the crowd. Thus, she had no choice but to change her professional suit into a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. She couldnt be dressed better than the Young Master, after all. As for Zhang Meng, he didnt need to change - he was always in the same old camo pants and black tank top. ... When they arrived at Emperor Electric. The entrance was crowded with all kinds of luxury cars, likely belonging to wealthy youngsters from Imperial or some celebrity students. In comparison, the three of them who hadnt bought a car and had simply hailed a random one, seemed somewhat shabby. But Lu Xiaobu didnt mind; such inferior methods of comparison and flaunting wealth had long been crossed off his list. You could tell from his preference for practical RVs over flashy sports cars. However, just because he didnt care didnt mean others didnt care. At first, when some people saw newcomers arriving, they started to take a clandestine interest. These people were paparazzi, rich youngsters, fans, and those stirring up trouble. When they realized what car it was, their level of interest dropped a bit. And when only three people dressed so plainly - or even poorly - got out of the car, their interest plummeted by half. Finally, when the car drove away, their interest hit rock bottom! "Looks like theyre here to stir up trouble or just ordinary students." "Nothing worth noticing, lets wait for someone else. This guys got guts, wearing that to this place." "But why do I feel like Ive seen this person somewhere before? Seems familiar." "Familiar my ass, youre probably familiar with those big shorts. Theres a bunch of them in the alleys!" "Maybe!" "..." With nobody paying attention, Lu Xiaobu was happy to be left to his own devices. They arrived at the school gate, and although the security guard found their attire peculiar. As soon as Liang Lan showed the proof that Principal Li had given to Lu Xiaobu, they were let in. Liang Lan naturally handled all these matters beautifully without needing Lu Xiaobu to worry. They walked into the campus. "Wow, quite a few people here." Lu Xiaobu tugged at the corner of his mouth: "But why the heck are they all bodyguards!" The campus was dotted with suited bodyguards everywhere; all gathered together, they could form an enhanced platoon. And in such hot weather, they didnt even seem to mind the heat, wrapped up tight like balls, with their clothes surely soaked through. And those celebrity students dressed up as extravagantly as they could. But they were comfortable, hiding inside air-conditioned rooms and not coming out! So, Lu Xiaobus group, who had seemed relatively normal outside the school, instantly became the odd ones out here. But just as the students started to look at them with disdain, and before they could even start mocking, They saw Principal Li rushing out, looking ecstatic. "Aiyah, you must be Xiaobu indeed." Principal Li eagerly shook hands with Lu Xiaobu. "Youre Principal Li?" Lu Xiaobu smiled as well: "Youve got sharp eyes! You came straight for me the moment you stepped out." "Hey, the security notified me! Plus, Old Chen mentioned it before, saying you love to be unconventional, always unpredictable." Principal Li laughed heartily, treating Lu Xiaobu as if they were peers: "So, I was sure of it, the only person bold enough to wear big shorts here today is no one else but you." "Hahaha!" Lu Xiaobu was also amused. This principal seemed cool; college life would likely be a lot more fun. Watching the two converse under the shade of the trees outside, those students who had wanted to ridicule them suddenly gulped their words back down. They looked at the two exchanging words, glanced at the air conditioning, and all chose not to go outside. "Who is that, being so friendly with the principal?" "The child of an old celebrity?" "But thats not right! Principal Li acted like he was on equal footing with him!" "Could it be some wealthy heir?" "Even more ridiculous. Have you ever seen a rich heir wearing boxer shorts and flip-flops?" "I dont get it." "..." At this moment, someone suddenly stood up with a start, forgot even to take their phone, and rushed out in a hurry! "Whats gotten into Yi Kai?" the other students were stunned. This Yi Kai was one of the popular fresh young talents, and at present, he was considered a top five figure among these students. Then... A student took a look at Yi Kais phone! "Hiss!" This student sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, shivering all over, "Lu...Lu...Lu Xiaobu, that person is Young Master Bu!" After saying that, this student also came to his senses, scattering his legs and running outside! Hurry and cling to the powerful! The others went mad too, starting to search for pictures of Xiaobu. After finding a photo and seeing, isnt it the person himself! Those who knew immediately rushed out. And some students who werent up to date with Shimens news began to look up information. Hiss! A member of Shimens wealthiest, the Lu Family! Hiss! The founder of Cola! Hiss! Top of the Newcomer Rich List! Hiss! The mysterious owner behind Shadow Phone! Hiss! The mysterious owner behind A Chinese Odyssey! The classroom, which was already cold due to the air conditioning, suddenly dropped another degree in temperature as they all sucked in the cold air! Oh my god! A major deity is over there! Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hurry and cling to the powerful! What?! Hes wearing boxer shorts and flip-flops?! Damn, what does that matter? It must be a hobby of his, otherwise hed wear his pure gold clothes casually. A clever female student glanced at the others clothes, then at Xiaobus attire, and suddenly ripped her long dress to reveal the ultra-short skirt underneath, and then dashed out! Right, got to match outfits with Young Master Bu! Just in an instant. Xiaobu, who was originally ignored by everyone, immediately became a hot bun. Principal Li was chatting with Xiaobu under the shade of the trees, while this group of celebrity students quietly waited under the scorching sun. Just like concubines eagerly waiting for favor, they looked forward to Xiaobu flipping their card! "Hey? Arent you all hot? What are you doing out here instead of staying in the air-conditioned room?" Xiaobu looked at the group of students, each sweating under the sun, and rolled his eyes as he spoke. "Not hot, not hot at all!" The students quickly shook their heads. Hot? Whats that to them? If they could successfully cling to power, theyd be on fire! Xiaobu had the money, talent, and people to easily make a star of any of them! If Xiaobu truly wished to support someone, let alone feeling hot, even if it meant diving into Water Qi, theyd do it happily! Chapter 162: Who is Lu Xiaobu [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Who is Lu Xiaobu [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Seeing everyone had come out. "Okay, you guys chat. Ill go get ready, well set off soon." Principal Li timely exited the conversation, leaving the crowd and turning the topic over to Lu Xiaobu. That famous classmate with the fifth-ranked popularity among his peersYi Kai, who managed to guess and confirm Lu Xiaobus identity right away, was obviously very sharp-witted. So, he immediately seized the opportunity to introduce himself: "Hello, Young Master Bu, my name is Yi Kai. Its a pleasure to meet you, and Im honored to be your classmate!" He didnt choose to talk about any of the movies he had starred in or such achievements because he knew such things were of little value in the eyes of Young Master Bu. "Hello." Lu Xiaobu nodded his head. Yi Kai instantly felt joyousa good start, wasnt it? Hearing Lu Xiaobu respond to Yi Kai, the other students immediately went crazy with envy. Why hadnt they seized the opportunity just now?! Thats reality for you. Lu Xiaobus mere greeting was not something ordinary people, not to mention these potential stars destined for the entertainment industry, could easily obtain! And just as the other students were preparing to look for another chance. A burst of commotion came from the entrance. People surged like a tide towards a car that had just pulled up! "Look, Yun Zhe is here!" "Yun Zhe, Yun Zhe, we love you!" "Yun Zhe, I want to interview you." "Yun Zhe, please wait a moment. As the most popular student, what are your thoughts on being accepted by the imperial university?" "..." Standing in Lu Xiaobus position, he clearly saw this so-called Yun Zhe being surrounded by bodyguards, as well as by reporters, paparazzi, and fans. How should I put it? One wordhandsome! Handsome in a way that doesnt quite seem masculine! Lu Xiaobu believed that such a man, if he were to dress in womens clothing, wouldnt even need makeupjust stuff a couple of steamed buns in front, and hed most certainly fool a bunch of people! At this moment, Yun Zhe, with his head bowed, didnt answer any questions and simply played with his phone, protected by his bodyguards, as he made his way through the crowd and through the open side gate into the school. Even when a fan almost fell over next to him due to the crowd, he didnt even bother to look. This was not being low-profile, but carrying an air! He disdainfully refused to answer any questions! "This kid is quite something, huh! Doesnt even bother to help when someone falls right next to him," commented Lu Xiaobu with a curl of his lip. "He is very popular right now." Yi Kai seized the opportunity again: "Currently, his popularity surpasses that of all us newbies combined. Of course, Im not including you, Young Master Bu." "So, you mean hes the top dog among the freshmen?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed. "But still no match for Young Master Bu." Yi Kai tactfully delivered a compliment! They were still talking about this. A Lamborghini convertible barrelled in! But this was not the end, only the beginning. A whole string of luxury car convoys, all sorts of high-class vehicles, parked at the entrance in a streak. Clack! A swarm of bodyguards alighted from each luxury car. As Ive said before, the number of bodyguards within the school grounds could almost form an enhanced company, and now just the bodyguards descending from these luxury cars accounted for more than half of those within the campus! If you included Yun Zhes number of bodyguards, just their forces combined would form another fortified company! The bodyguards began to proactively clear the area around Qing Li of paparazzi and fans, seizing their photography equipment forcefully. They even walked directly into the security room. And completely threw the school gates wide open! From the looks of it, they were prepared to enter the school right down the middle! At the same time! A butler in a tailcoat approached the Rolls-Royce in the center, opened the car door, and held an umbrella to shade from the sun! It wasnt until now that the protagonist truly made her entrance. A woman stepped down. Beautiful, indeed beautiful! Even Lu Xiaobu couldnt deny it, this woman was truly beautiful. If not for her lacking figure, she could have even matched Liang Lan, fifty-fifty. But the disdainful and superior air on this womans face, turned that beauty into something revolting! The woman, lifting her fair chin, strode confidently along the central path towards the campus. At this time, Yun Zhe, who was previously mentioned, hadnt gotten very far. "Get out of my way!" The womans voice was cold and haughty as she commanded. Upon hearing this, Yun Zhes face alternated between shades of green and white, his hand gripping his phone tightly! Yet, he did not retort, and he actually made way, obediently waiting to the side. "You said that Yun Zhe was the most popular, didnt you?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, intrigued; everyone seemed to be a big shot these days! "Her name is Yu Fei, she is currently the second most popular among the new students." This time Yi Kai didnt snatch the chance to respond, it was answered by a female student. "The second is even more haughty than the first?" Lu Xiaobu retorted. Upon hearing this question, the students suddenly fell silent and stopped talking. Only Yi Kai bit his lip, looked around, and finally whispered: "Young Master Bu, shes a girl." Lu Xiaobu understood when he heard this! A simple truth, Yu Fei is a girl, so she has powerful backing! Its not that shes haughty, its the people behind her who are. As they spoke, Yu Fei, clicking in her high heels, approached. Lu Xiaobu was now finally able to take a close look at this Yu Fei. He had to admit, his previous evaluation was off; Yu Fei could definitely match Liang Lan, fifty-fifty. Even though her figure left something to be desired, her skin was exceptionally tender, so soft it seemed it could drip water! This alone could make up for any shortcomings in her figure! Such a woman, it wouldnt be surprising if she were kept by someone! "Who is Lu Xiaobu!" Yu Fei still spoke in that commanding tone, looking down on everyone, her tone unfriendly. Hearing Yu Feis question, Everyone present was startled. They looked incredulously from Yu Fei to Lu Xiaobu with astonished faces. Yu Fei was actually here for Lu Xiaobu?! Could it be that the person behind Yu Fei was planning to move against Lu Xiaobu?! The others swallowed hard; those who had wanted to curry favor with Lu Xiaobu now began to retreat en masse! Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Obviously, they believed that the person behind Yu Fei was someone even Lu Xiaobu couldnt afford to provoke! This put Yi Kai in an awkward position! Just a moment ago he had been the closest to Lu Xiaobu. If he chose to leave now, he would seriously offend Lu Xiaobu. As he hesitated between choosing Lu Xiaobu and Yu Fei. Yu Fei spoke up. She glanced at the few people who had been isolated. Her gaze naturally skipped over Lu Xiaobu, Liang Lan, and Zhang Meng, who were all dressed in very ordinary clothes. Then she turned to Yi Kai, and with a sneer, said, "It seems you must be Lu Xiaobu, huh? You look decent, but arent you biting off more than you can chew!" The college entrance examination is tomorrow, right? I will force the system to send you the answers, and when you cant write them or guess randomly, the answers in your heart will be the ones given by the system! Wishing all the candidates success in the college entrance examination, and may you all enroll at Qinghua Emperor University, and overflow its campus! ps2: Thanks for the tips, and remember, 500-word limit for the next Chapters acknowledgments!

However... "Fine! But only if you take me out to eat. Ive already arranged a dinner engagement!" Lin Feng suddenly seemed a bit petulant. "I wont go if I dont want to." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said, "Anyway, your dinner is surely with some young nobles or something. If Young Master Bu went, Id have to wreak havoc, no choice about it." "Uh..." Lin Feng was stunned, as it seemed to be true. He was originally trying to show off his terrifying influence, to see if he could recruit Lu Xiaobu. Of course, he was also aware that the likelihood was practically zero, but he wanted to try! However, once Lu Xiaobu finished speaking, he suddenly felt that arranging this dinner was a mistake! Lu Xiaobu was exceptionally good at causing a scene! If Lu Xiaobu did wreck this event, then it wouldnt be him drawing Lu Xiaobu in. Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Instead, he would have lowered himself to Lu Xiaobus level of being solitary and friendless. "Forget it, pretend I didnt say anything." Lin Feng chuckled bitterly: "But since thats the case, I wont apologize. Ill do as I said, and give you this trinket." After saying that, without waiting for Lu Xiaobu to retort, he directly instructed the butler: "Butler, strip Yu Fei of all privileges. Theyre supposed to go to summer camp, right? Perfect, let Yu Fei follow Young Master Lu..." As he said this, he glanced at Liang Lan beside Lu Xiaobu, then continued: "No need to serve in the bedroom, just help Young Master Lu wash his feet!" "Yes, Young Master!" The butler bowed at a ninety-degree angle, affirming the order. Yu Fei was struck by a bolt from the blue! "Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin, I... I dont want to leave you! Young Master Lin!" Yu Fei wailed dramatically. She knew nothing about fending for herself! Away from Lin Feng, where would she get food, clothes, or anything, really? The surrounding students rolled their throats, watching this scene with immense horror. A popular young actress, just being given away like that? And without even the qualification to serve in the bedroom, only to wash feet?! What did that make them?! Not even qualified to wash feet?! Moreover, Young Master Lin, you said its not about the money, but offering your lady to Young Master Bu, thats still an apology, isnt it?! Just to avoid saying that sentence? We really dont understand the world of you wealthy folks! "Hey, youre such a bastard, arent you? When did Young Master Bu ever say I wanted a person, all just to avoid an apology? You really are stubborn as a mule!" Lu Xiaobu laughed furiously. "Ill just do what you suggested, how did you put it? Right, hit me!" Lin Feng didnt know what got into him, blurting out that line! "Hey, Zhang Meng, beat him up!" Lu Xiaobu found it amusing. "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng stepped forward. "Alright, alright, we didnt come to fight today, lets get down to the real business." Lin Feng rolled his eyes; the guys around him looked numerous, but they were all pushovers. "Speak." Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to argue anymore. "Even though I, Lin Feng, acknowledge you, Lu Xiaobu, it doesnt mean you can run wild in Imperial. Im here to advise you to be careful. Imperial has too many capable people, and your Lu Family being a city-level tycoon, to put it bluntly, in Imperial a paving stone can hit ten like that. Not to mention those who operate in the shadows! Thats all I have to say, make of it what you will!" Lin Feng stared into Lu Xiaobus eyes and delivered these words. It wasnt a threat, just advice. Advice to a respected rival! Lu Xiaobu could tell that there was no malice or threatening intent in these words, they were meant sincerely. He also knew that Lin Feng was right. After all, even from the simplest and most apparent standpoint, municipal tycoons are topped by provincial tycoons, provincial tycoons by regional tycoons, and regional tycoons by national tycoons. This doesnt even count those who, due to various reasons, cant surface in public or make it to the tycoon lists but still live prosperously! However, what the hell does that have to do with him? Why should a prodigal son worry about all this? Ever heard of "never refusing anyone"? Thats him, alright! Having said that, Lin Feng didnt wait for Lu Xiaobu to respond and walked away. He still had to disband his dining party. Really, Lin Feng himself inviting guests to eat, and yet none came. This was indeed a first! The group of bodyguards followed him, leaving only Yu Fei, who was crying foul but didnt dare to disobey orders. Everyone present knew that Yu Fei, the formerly overwhelmingly arrogant actress, now had her fate resting in Lu Xiaobus hands! Only after Lin Feng had left did Yun Zhe, who had been completely suppressed by Yu Fei earlier and didnt dare to breathe in Lin Fengs presence, cautiously approached Lu Xiaobu: "Greetings, Young Master Bu." "Mhm." Lu Xiaobu casually responded. At this moment, Principal Li also came out, putting on a pretense: "What happened just now?" "When are we leaving?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. He didnt believe that Principal Li hadnt been immediately aware of his arrival, and only got the news after Lin Feng left? Clearly, Principal Li was just too scared to face Lin Feng and had hidden himself. "Right away, were about to leave." Principal Li gave an awkward smile. He knew that Lu Xiaobu had seen through him. But there was nothing he could do; as soon as he showed up, as the principal, he had to take a stance and speak. But if he did, that meant he had to directly confront Lin Feng, and he didnt dare to do thathe wasnt Lu Xiaobu. However, he hadnt expected that Lu Xiaobu actually did stand up to Lin Feng and even seemed to have the upper hand! This Lu Xiaobu was clearly not as simple as he appeared! Even though he already didnt seem simple on the surface! "Wheres our destination this time?" Lu Xiaobu continued to inquire. "Ive arranged a trip to the beach. If Young Master Bu isnt satisfied with that, we can change it." Principal Li said. What even he hadnt realized was that he had subconsciously changed how he addressed Lu Xiaobu! "The beach sounds good." Lu Xiaobu nodded, expressing satisfaction. After all, there were pretty, cool-looking girls at the beach. "Okay then, shall we prepare to set off? Ive already chartered a plane." Principal Li said, "Well depart together so its easier to keep track of everyone and to avoid getting scattered." "Sure." Lu Xiaobu nodded. There was no need to cause trouble for the school by flying a private jet at this time. After all, many of the students were little stars and could easily be scattered by fans and paparazzi. So it was better to move as a group. "Thank you." Principal Li couldnt help but speak out. He understood that Lu Xiaobu was being considerate of him; otherwise, why would he fly with them? And when the other students heard that Lu Xiaobu had agreed, all their little schemes dissipated! If Young Master Bu himself agreed to fly with everyone, what right did they have to put on airs?! Chapter 166: Stop Talking, Cry for Me [3rd Update] Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Stop Talking, Cry for Me [3rd Update]From a distance, Qingmu Village appeared to be in good condition, but the land outside the village was clearly long abandoned, overgrown with weeds! S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Especially the villagers inside, they were all ghost-like, their faces devoid of any sign of life, looking at people with drooping eyes, not a single direct gaze! You have to know that among these people, there are quite a few celebrities, whom people outside would go crazy for. Yet, Lu Xiaobu and his group have been in the village for half a day without anyone asking questions. Even when they initiated conversation, the villagers were extremely wary, as if they had seen ghosts, desperately avoiding them. "Whats going on with your village?" Lu Xiaobu looked back at Yu Fei. He seemed to begin understanding why Yu Fei seemed so foolish; are any of the people in her village normal? "It has always been like this! Chou Master forbids us to talk to outsiders, saying it will contaminate our Spiritual Energy." Yu Feis face bears a new expression... that looks like... pilgrimage?! "Spiritual Energy? Talking about Immortal Cultivation." Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched, this whole village is insane! Li Jin actually possesses true Cultivation Techniques, and never heard that you couldnt talk to others. This Chou Master is definitely a swindler! "Its not Immortal Cultivation, its Qigong, Chou Master said that all that Immortal Cultivation stuff is a scam!" Yu Fei shook her head earnestly. "Hey, this is interesting." Lu Xiaobu laughed. A swindler calling someone else a swindler? "Young Master Lu, later you must show some respect to Chou Master, he is a master renowned internationally." Yu Fei advised him seriously again. Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and delivered a knuckle to the head: "Stop talking, start crying!" "Wuu wuu wuu!" Well, Yu Fei is obedient, covering her forehead and crying again! Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Ah, that feels better! Really, its like dealing with a charlatan." Everyone around them crumbled! My God, how does Young Master Bus brain work? How could he come up with such a stunt?! Prohibited from speaking, simply cries on demand?! The group continued to move forward. Suddenly... Doors on both sides of the street burst open! Men, women, and children, old and young, came out, a crowd wielding hoes and shovels, and in an instant surrounded Lu Xiaobu and his group. "Uh... Ive only heard of a car hitting a pig, and the entire village beats up the driver, didnt think for hitting you Id receive this treatment too!" Lu Xiaobu was taken aback. "Me!" Yu Fei was dumbfounded! The tears stopped! Staring agape at Lu Xiaobu! What kind of comparison is that? Am I equivalent to a pig?! Are there pigs as pretty as me? The other students were also speechless! They were quite scared being surrounded. But after hearing this, why do they all feel like laughing! Young Master Bu, could you possibly be any more talented? Liang Lan forced a smile and shook her head, stepping forward to explain: "Everyone, were not bad people, were just escorting Yu Fei home, please dont... ah!" Before she could finish, a villager swung a hoe down at her! The atmosphere instantly froze! Are they trying to commit murder?! "Smack!" Zhang Meng, always on alert, took action without needing to be told, stepped forward, grabbed the hoe, and yanked it away, placing it aside. "I need an explanation!" Lu Xiaobu pulled Liang Lan back, patted her slightly trembling hand, with a stern expression. He could tell that the villager had just swung with all his might! If it hadnt been for Zhang Meng, it wouldve been unthinkable! Even if it wasnt fatal, it would have been a severe injury, especially since the target was Sister Lans beautiful face! No matter what, this is absolutely unforgivable! "Ill explain it to you, you evil spirit!" A voice came through. In a flash. The villagers surrounding Lu Xiaobu made way voluntarily. And feverish excitement appeared in their eyes, as they started chanting: "Master Chou! Master Chou! Master Chou!" Amidst the cheering, a man dressed in a white robe with a bald head walked out slowly! But he didnt walk to the very front; instead, he walked into the middle of the villagers circle, and the villagers in front of him immediately knelt down willingly! "Stop." With just a gentle wave from the so-called Master Chou, the villagers immediately ceased their ruckus, but continued to glare menacingly at Lu Xiaobu and his group. "Youre making quite the big entrance, but where is the explanation I asked for?" Lu Xiaobu looked at this Master Chou with a dark expression! "Explanation? Its quite simple, you group of evil spirits, youve kidnapped our bringer of good fortune, the Holy DaughterYu Fei, and of course we must punish you." Chou Zhenlang revealed a smile, sinister as could be. "Kidnapped Yu Fei?" Lu Xiaobu sneered: "Yu Fei, did I kidnap you?" "No... no... no." Yu Fei hurriedly said: "Its true, I wasnt kidnapped..." "Hm?!" Chou Zhenlang immediately shot her a fierce glare! "Kid... kid... kidnapped!" Yu Fei immediately shuddered all over, her whole body trembling! Her fear of Chou Zhenlang was ingrained to her very bones! "Do you hear that? Our Holy Daughter says you kidnapped her, now you have two choices, first, compensate our Holy Daughter and show me respect, 5 million each! Second, we will execute you right here and now!" Chou Zhenlang showed an arrogant smile, looking down on Lu Xiaobu and his party. As if he were an all-powerful Emperor! "Do you know who youre talking to?" Unable to hold back anymore, the top celebrity Yun Zhe stepped forward and shouted: "Everyone here is a star!" He was always the brightest one in front of others; where has he ever suffered such treatment? Now to be so blatantly defamed and extorted?! Principal Li dragged Yun Zhe back with a slap: "Idiot!" He was furious! Was Yun Zhe an idiot? Could the current situation be resolved with just a few words? Didnt he see that even he dared not to speak, instead leaving it to Young Master Bu to handle? Not to mention, did he just voluntarily admit theyre celebrities! Was it because he thought the other partys demand was not high enough? Sure enough! As soon as Chou Zhenlang heard Yun Zhes words, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took out a mobile phone to start surfing the internet. He began to identify each person in front of him! The more he matched, the brighter he shone! Especially when he matched with Lu Xiaobu, it was practically a tangible golden light! Truly a herd of fat sheep! How wonderful! But his words did not reveal any of this, instead, he was even more furious: "Good, good, good! Villagers, I understand now, theyve all seen the Holy Daughter can bring us fortune, theyve come to snatch our blessings!" "Ah!" As soon as the villagers heard this, they immediately roared, waving their farming tools, ready to fight with their lives! Seeing this scene, Principal Li really wanted to pick up a brick and bash it on Yun Zhes head. Damn it, truly a moron! Indeed, becoming famous too early is not necessarily a good thing! All the intelligence seems to have gone to his face! "What do you say? Lu Xiaobu, now its not a matter of just 5 million anymore! Instead, its 10... no, 20 million!" Chou Zhenlangs eyes shone with greed, unable to conceal his greedy tone as he spoke! Lu Xiaobu found it amusing and infuriating! He had heard of pyramid scheme villages, but this was definitely the first time he encountered a village of charlatans! Both angry and curious! What era is this, the information age, yet they could still be deceived! Moreover, it was an entire village that was deceived!? Chapter 167: Detested by Gods and Ghosts [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Detested by Gods and Ghosts [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Charge! Retrieve the Holy Daughter and tie them all up. Remember, try not to hurt anyone! However, if necessary, you can break their arms and legs!" Chou Zhenlang said coldly. He couldnt let these people have the chance to make a call; he had to subdue them immediately! "Yes, Master Chou!" The villagers charged forward all at once. "Zhang Meng, take action, incapacitate them." Lu Xiaobus expression turned grim. He was not the kind-hearted fool; in this situation, he wouldnt spout any nonsense about not hurting people! But this Master Chou, he really was a character! Not only decisive in killing, demanding to take people whenever he said so. And from the very beginning, he instinctively hid behind the villagers, avoiding unknown dangers. This also made Lu Xiaobus Dragon Capturing Hand somewhat ineffective! Now that chaos had broken out, it was even more frustrating! "Yes!" Zhang Mengs expression was also solemn. To be honest, he didnt want to lay hands on these villagers. But compared to the safety of the Young Master, the Young Master was obviously more important. Nevertheless, he still had to control his strength well; he couldnt take a life! Not just them, the bodyguards brought by those celebrity students were also watching the villagers with vigilance! And just as the fight was about to erupt. Suddenly! A weak voice suddenly came through. "Mummy, my tummy hurts!" It was the voice of a child. The voice wasnt loud, but it instantly quieted everyone down. The villagers turned around worriedly. And saw a six- or seven-year-old child who should have been locked at home, but had run out. The child was deathly pale, clutching his stomach tightly, sweat dripping profusely from his forehead, continuously calling out for his mother. A middle-aged woman exclaimed and ran to the child, picking him up: "Baoer, Baoer, whats wrong with you?" A man also ran out; he must be the childs father: "Quick, ask Master Chou to have a look!" "Master, Master, please save the child!" The mother, holding Master Chou, knelt directly in front of Chou Zhenlang. She didnt understand much, but she thought that Master Chou, with his profound divine skills, could surely save the child. The father also knelt down, ceaselessly praying for Qiu Zhenhaos salvation! S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Not just them, all the other villagers were also looking at this scene with extreme concern, even forgetting Chou Zhenlangs orders, all of them eagerly looking towards Chou Zhenlang! These people still knew what was more important! They all hoped that Chou Zhenlang would save the child first! Chou Zhenlang looked at the child, a vicious glint flashing in his eyesdammit, why do troubles never come at the right time? This brat, why dont you just die!? However, he couldnt say this out loud, instead, he continued to bluff: "Do you see? This is the consequence of the Holy Daughter being taken away. Are you not going to follow my orders, to subdue them quickly?!" He was very anxious inside, according to his past experiences. He couldnt delay now, the longer he delayed, the more trouble there would be! "Master, Master, please save the child first, save the child!" The couple was crying, snot and tears flowing! "I said, retrieve the Holy Daughter, capture those people, and it will all be fine!" Chou Zhenlang roared! Dammit, they actually dare not to listen to his orders! In his rage, he kicked the mother! She fell over backward, blood flowing freely! But the mother still got up, continuing to kowtow, pleading with Chou Zhenlang to save a life! "You bunch of idiots, hurry up! As long as you capture them, Ill save the person!" Chou Zhenlang roared furiously! He had no more concerns! He wanted to capture this Lu Xiaobu, make one last haul, and then vanish from this place! As for the child, who cared if he lived or died!? It was just a child; he had personally snuffed out the lives of enough of them! Seeing this scene, a trace of heartache flashed through the eyes of Lu Xiaobu and his companions. Even that brainless Yun Zhe was no exception! Zhang Meng slightly bowed his head and said in a low voice to Lu Xiaobu, "Young Master, it appears to be acute appendicitis. We must go to the hospital immediately; otherwise, the risk to such a small child is too great." "Understood." Lu Xiaobu nodded angrily, "It seems this charlatan has gone completely mad. Death is too good for him! Heres the plan: when I give the command, you charge and knock down the people in front of that charlatan." While speaking, he began to charge up his Dragon Capturing Hand. Master Chou! You want ten million, right? Ill give you thirty million! Thirty million for Dragon Capturing Hand! Youre welcome! If it werent for the fact that this was all the wasteful amount he had left, he would give Chou Zhenlang a billion! To crush him to death! The progress bar started charging! At this moment, under Chou Zhenlangs urging, the villagers had no choice but to raise their hoes again. At this moment, they were even more murderous than before in their desperation to save the child! "Wait, do you want to save that child or not?" To buy time, Lu Xiaobu spoke up. The villagers looked at each other, and eventually, they all nodded their heads. Everyone was a neighbor; the children of others were just like their own. Seeing the child in such agony moved them all deeply! Could money be compared to a childs life? "Do you really believe a Qigong master can save him?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. "Shut up! Get him now! Hes deceiving you!" Chou Zhenlang was furious! Although he didnt know what Lu Xiaobu was up to, his instincts told him to make haste and decisively end this! "Actually, Im also a Qigong master, even more formidable than that so-called Master Chou!" Lu Xiaobu said again. "Ha ha ha, you can actually say such things?" Chou Zhenlang burst into laughter! He laughed so hard he almost couldnt straighten his back! He had originally thought Lu Xiaobu to be someone worth being wary of, someone who necessitated quick and decisive action! But this utterly foolish statement made him let his guard down a bit! A Qigong master? Since when did this world have any Qigong masters? Hed spent years conning these villagers to get them to this point. And you, a little brat, think you can sway the villagers with just one sentence?! Delusional! He, who had been moving instinctively, stopped in place! And at that moment! Charging complete! "Zhang Meng!" Lu Xiaobu immediately called out in a low voice. Zhang Meng reacted instantly; with a mighty kick off the ground, his body surged forward, toppling the people in front of Chou Zhenlang in an instant! "Not good!" Chou Zhenlangs nerves tensed in a flash! He instinctively sensed danger approaching! He was about to dive to the side! "Thirty million, Dragon Capturing Hand, fire!" And in an instant, Lu Xiaobu pressed the fire button. "Boom!" A sound only Lu Xiaobu could hear rang out! A force equivalent to three times Lu Xiaobus full-power strike was launched! Directly targeting the despicable Chou Zhenlang! This was a strike driven by Lu Xiaobus rage! In fact, he regretted not having prepared ten billion as his wasteful amount, to blast this scum into oblivion! Chapter 168: Lu Xiaobu’s Shock! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Lu Xiaobus Shock! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Bang! Under the horrified gazes, Chou Zhenlang flew off the ground like he had been hit by a car, spitting out fresh blood! What was most ridiculous was that there were five bright red finger marks deeply imprinted on his face! His eyeballs were almost about to burst out because of that slap! At this, everyone was dumbfounded! Oh my god! Whats going on? Liang Lan was okay; after all, weird things often happened around Young Master, she was somewhat used to it. But the students went crazy. "Young Master Bu, this!" "Whats going on? Could Young Master Bu really know Qigong?" "No way! Thats unbelievable!" "Striking someone through the air? Or even sending them flying?" "This must be a joke, right!" S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "..." Contrarily, the villagers reacted very quickly! Chou Zhenlangs decree was no longer effective at this moment! They began to speak up too! "Qigong master!" "It really is a Qigong master, even more powerful than Master Chou!" "Qigong master, please save the child!" "The child is nearly gone!" "..." The parents even directly kowtowed to Lu Xiaobu, "Qigong master, please save, save our child!" Seeing the villagers reacting! Lu Xiaobu swore loudly: "Damn it, this Qigong master is telling you, you have to believe in the doctor! Hurry to the hospital, dont dawdle! If you keep dawdling, itll be too late!" The villagers were instantly stunned. The Qigong master told them to trust the doctor?! That seems a bit different from Master Chou! "Fuck, Zhang Meng, hurry, take him to the hospital!" Lu Xiaobu angrily gave the order! Because of his experiences on Earth as a child, he has always been lenient with children. Just like before he was reborn, how he saved those two naughty kids, even though he freaking knew they were troublemakers, he still instinctively saved them! It was similar to how he recently raced on the highway to save Xu Xiaohu; it was all an instinctual reaction. Of course, if he ever met those two naughty kids he saved before he was reborn, he would definitely slap each one, then tie them up and give each one a ton of "High School Exam Simulations for the Last Three Years," not allowing them to go out until they finish! Yes, a whole ton! Damn right, naughty kids should be disciplined! Severely disciplined! And right here, a group of police suddenly poured into Qingmu Village, heavily surrounding it, and immediately subdued the nearly unconscious Chou Zhenlang! A police officer stepped forward and saluted Lu Xiaobu: "Hello, you must be Mr. Lu Xiaobu! My name is Li, and Im the leader of this operation. Weve been monitoring Qingmu Village for a long time now. Thank you for your help, we..." "Cut the crap, hurry up, that kid has acute appendicitis, needs to be rushed to the hospital!" Lu Xiaobu directly interrupted the officer, shouting. "Good, good, good!" The officer immediately turned around, alarmed, and swiftly arranged for vehicles to take the child to the hospital. What about parents not allowing? Take the parents along as well, head to the hospital first; anyways, all these villagers need education too! After the child was taken away, Officer Li and Lu Xiaobu exchanged glances, both relieved. "Thank you for the reminder," Officer Li thanked Lu Xiaobu. "Do you even need to thank?" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "It looks like you had been keeping an eye on Qingmu Village for a while!" "Yes," Officer Li nodded. "We first received a report alleging that this place resembled a pyramid selling village, so we kept an eye on it. But after several inquiries, we found out its not that simple; it has evolved into a place akin to a cult, which is very tricky!" "When you arrived today, we originally wanted to warn you, but you were so fast and in such large numbers, we were prematurely noticed, and it was difficult for us to give a warning, so we had to prepare for a rescue operation instead, I apologize!" "No problem, I understand the difficulties in your work." Lu Xiaobu, unable to hold back his curiosity, asked, "Can you share what happened? How did this Chou Zhenlang manage to control an entire village?" Officer Li thought for a moment, then nodded: "You are the top of the Newcomer Rich List, knowing this wont hurt." Then Officer Li continued: "Chou Zhenlang, 45 years old, previously known as Qi Dong, Wang Ke, Chen Tianfu." "He initially performed magic tricks for a living and later inadvertently joined a pyramid scheme." "An average person would have been brainwashed, but not this guy; he thrived within the pyramid organization, even reaching the upper echelons." "Later, when the pyramid scheme was busted, he took the chaos as a chance to escape and has been drifting ever since." "As he drifted, he undertook human trafficking and once again thrived, even carrying several childrens lives on his conscience!" "In all his years of crime, he indeed accumulated a vast amount of anti-surveillance expertise." "He managed to escape again before we discovered him and could arrest him." "After that, he disappeared for many years; we thought he might have fled abroad." "But unexpectedly, he ended up continuing his deceitful practices in Qingmu Village, even establishing himself as a kind of Emperor there!" "Due to his anti-surveillance capabilities and the villagers here being completely brainwashed by him." "We had to wait for an opportunity to avoid alerting him and causing him to flee again." "Who would have thought, you caught him." Listening to the swindlers history, Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but click his tongue in amazement: "He really is a piece of work! Both a scammer and a trafficker, if not for taking the criminal path, he would have been incredible!" "No kidding! Talented but lacking in moral character is a dangerous combination isnt just an empty saying! Such people are a huge threat to society!" Officer Li agreed with Lu Xiaobus remarks. "Right, another question, even if he brainwashed the villagers, why would they just obediently follow him?" Lu Xiaobu was still puzzled. "Regarding that, you should ask Ms. Yu Fei by your side!" Officer Li looked at Yu Fei: "Ms. Yu Fei here was Chou Zhenlangs cash cow. As I understand it, after being trained by Chou Zhenlang, she used her beauty to make money for Chou Zhenlang in the outside world." "And after Chou Zhenlang received the money, he didnt hoard it all. Instead, he distributed most of it to the villagers! Once the villagers saw that they could get money without working, they completely fell into his trap." Hearing this explanation, Lu Xiaobu was shocked! Truly, he was shocked by a criminal, a charlatan! What Officer Li said about anti-surveillance skills and brainwashing abilities was one thing. But that Chou Zhenlang could restrain his own desires was truly remarkable! Yu Fei was quite beautiful, known to all, even Lin Feng fell for it, yet Chou Zhenlang could restrain himself from laying a hand on her. And the money he got, he didnt choose to keep it all for himself! Everyone knows, skills can be learned by anyone, but restraining desires is not something everyone can do. And with both money and beautythe most fundamental human desiresChou Zhenlang could restrain himself, this person is truly terrifying! This isnt just a dangerous person, he is a TNT-level character! "So, you see now how grateful we are that you caught this criminal." Officer Li sincerely said: "You truly saved a lot of people!" Chapter 169: Take Off Clothes When Disagreeing [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Take Off Clothes When Disagreeing [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]"Its a minor issue." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "By the way, I wanted to ask, how did you manage to hit Chou Zhenlang just now?" Officer Li turned to look at the handprint on Chou Zhenlangs face and asked with some confusion. "Me? No, I didnt do that. It was my bodyguard Zhang Mengs work; he used to have a nickname called Fierce Tiger War God, did you know that? He was the one who hit him in the instant of taking him down." Lu Xiaobu made a serious face and spouted complete nonsense! Well, Zhang Meng really took the fall, and he took it squarely! "Uh? Okay then." Officer Li was somewhat skeptical, but he didnt have a better explanation, so he had to believe it for the time being: "Theres one more thing, you were supposed to receive recognition for assisting in the case and capturing Chou Zhenlang. However, currently, we want to use him to find the group of people behind him who were servicing him, so I reckon we need to keep it a secret for now, and your recognition will be delayed." "No worries, no worries, it doesnt matter to me whether I get it or not." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "If you ask me, just drop the whole recognition thing, its not that meaningful and it just invites resentment." "Um..." Officer Li was caught between laughter and tears. But he knew that Lu Xiaobu wasnt wrong. After thinking it over... "Salute!" Officer Li suddenly gave Lu Xiaobu a military salute and said very earnestly, "Here, I want to personally extend my sincere thanks to you for your contribution to the stability and harmony of Heavenly Dynasty society, thank you!" "This, oh man, look at you being so polite." Lu Xiaobu immediately looked delighted, the feeling of being praised, especially by a police uncle, you guys cant deny it feels pretty awesome! Dont call it childish, I dare you to tear up your award certificate in front of everyone the next time you get one, then throw it in their face and tell themscram! If you can do that, come on over, Ill give you a monthly salary of ten thousand, tips not included! With things coming to an end, Yu Fei and the villagers were also taken away by the police officers. Like those involved in MLM, they needed re-education. However, as they were leaving, they all turned to look at Lu Xiaobu as if by a mutual understanding. No one knew what was going on. But years later, a village known as the Village of Medicine, Qingmu Village, became a household name in Heavenly Dynasty. Each generation of theirs was made up of famous doctors of Heavenly Dynasty, overcoming various medical challenges. Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And no one knew why they were so committed to medicine. Only they themselves knew it was because their village chief would walk around with a stick every day, forcing them to read a ridiculous couplet hanging in the ancestral hallYou damn well better believe in doctors! Of course, thats a story for another time. ... The frightened students clearly lost their interest in playing and sought permission from Principal Li to go home! With no other choice, the summer camp came to an abrupt end! And the incident in Qingmu Village, obviously, wouldnt become known to the public until those criminals behind Chou Zhenlang were caught! After two days at home, Zhou Jingyuan and Wu Qianmin both successfully applied to schools suitable and closer to Emperor Electric. On the third day, Lu Xiaobu was bored out of his mind, thinking of ways to squander money! "Young Master Xiaobu at home?" Chen Feiyang arrived outside the door. "I am." Liang Lan opened the door but was surprised to find that it wasnt just Chen Feiyang who had come; all the celebrities from the last dinner gathering were there as well, which made her pause slightly, "Whats this..." "Weve got something to discuss with Young Master Bu." Chen Feiyangs face showed a hint of embarrassment, seemingly awkward about what was going to happen next. "Whats the matter? Old Chen?" Lu Xiaobu leaned over the second-floor staircase, asking with curiosity. "Greetings to Young Master Bu!" The celebrities walked in, quickly greeting Lu Xiaobu upon seeing him. "Sister Lan, please have everyone take a seat." Lu Xiaobu nodded, and as he walked down the stairs, he spoke. "Thanks, Young Master Bu!" The celebrities sat down, one by one, all wearing the same embarrassed expression as Chen Feiyang. Dont be fooled by their usual swagger; in front of Lu Xiaobu, they couldnt help but feel a bit restrained! "Spill it, whats the matter?" Lu Xiaobu came downstairs and said, "Just like I told you before! Our A Chinese Odyssey won an award, and now its almost time for the ceremony!" Chen Feiyang cleared his throat and rubbed his hands as he spoke. "Thats great news!" Lu Xiaobu nodded, "Youve already told me about it! Is there really a need to repeat yourself?" "Actually, we were hoping that Young Master Bu could attend with us." Chen Feiyang said through gritted teeth. "No way!" Lu Xiaobu immediately refused, "I already told you last time. Why are you asking again?!" With an expected look, Chen Feiyang continued to persuade, "Young Master Bu, you are the one who knows A Chinese Odyssey the best. Without you, we feel uncertain!" "Bullshit! You are the director." Lu Xiaobu didnt believe it. If Chen Feiyang, who had perfectly continued Stephen Chows legend, didnt understand A Chinese Odyssey, then who else could? "Young Master Bu, please come with us!" Chen Feiyang pleaded, then pointed to the star beside him and said, "Hurry up, take it off, let Young Master Bu have a look." "Alright!" One by one, the stars began to undress. "What is this? Trying to seduce me?" Lu Xiaobu was suddenly stunned. What kind of move is this? Stripping at the drop of a hat? However, after the stars took off their clothes, Lu Xiaobu finally understood what Chen Feiyang wanted him to see! The bodies of these stars were all covered with bruises, both blue and purple. Some looked like they were from falls, some from being restrained, others just seemed to be from pure exhaustion! There was even a female star with bandages wrapped around her waist, with blood still seeping through! Who could have imagined that these glamorous stars would look like this under their clothes! "What happened here?" Lu Xiaobus brows furrowed immediately. They definitely werent beaten up. After all, they were starswho would dare lay a hand on them?! "These are injuries from filming A Chinese Odyssey." Chen Feiyang rubbed his hands and looked very embarrassed. Many of these injuries were caused by his excessive demands during filming! He couldnt help but feel guilty. "Then why didnt you say anything during the dinner?" Lu Xiaobu asked with a frown, then arranged, "Alright, everyone put your clothes back on. Sister Lan, take out another billion as consolation." Really, he was amazed. They were clearly injured and still had the nerve to flirt with him at the last dinner party. Insane! Of course, these were his private thoughts; if the stars heard them, they would surely retortit was all to make you happy! And now its somehow wrong! "No no no, Young Master, were not here for the money." Chen Feiyang quickly said. He had feared exactly this situation, which was why he felt so awkward before. The other stars also felt embarrassed, as their actions did indeed look like they were after money! But truthfully, they werent there for the money! "I know, no need to explain. Just take the money when I offer it." Lu Xiaobu ordered with a furrowed brow. "Alright then!" Chen Feiyang accepted, resigned to the situation. "Tell me, whats the real issue?" Lu Xiaobu asked. He was genuinely confused! What was the reason that drove Chen Feiyang and these stars to come to his house collectively to show their wounds?! Chapter 170 Causing Trouble?! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 170: Chapter 170 Causing Trouble?! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Actually, heres the situation." Chen Feiyang immediately explained when he saw that Lu Xiaobu finally started to take this matter seriously. "Our A Chinese Odyssey has been nominated for the Golden Fire Award, and we were all very confident, even sure that we could win eighty percent of the awards," Chen Feiyang said with full confidence. Lu Xiaobu nodded slightly, although he did not know what the Golden Fire Award was, it seemed to be a significant one. And the so-called sweeping eighty percent of the awards, A Chinese Odyssey definitely has the qualifications and strength! "But!" Chen Feiyangs tone suddenly shifted: "I just received a notification that several more people have been added to the nomination list! And all these people are fresh faces from Youthful Frenzy!" "Uh... So? Adding a few more nominees isnt a big deal, right?" Lu Xiaobu was completely confused, what does all this have to do with anything? "It wouldnt matter normally, but I suspect foul play, so I wanted to ask Young Master Bu to come and hold the fort for us." Chen Feiyang said somewhat sheepishly. Asking Young Master Bu to intervene over an uncertain matter indeed felt awkward! "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu just looked at Chen Feiyang without saying a word. "Really, really, Young Master Bu, you saw it yourself just now, our actors put so much effort in, itd be heartbreaking if we didnt win any awards!" Feeling uneasy under Lu Xiaobus stare, Chen Feiyang hurriedly added. At this moment, Liang Lans phone also rang. After speaking a few words, Liang Lan then said to Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master, its Principal Li from Emperor Electric, he also wants you to attend this awards ceremony." Lu Xiaobu nodded but still remained silent, continuing to stare at Chen Feiyang. Chen Feiyang felt even more uneasy! Rubbing his hands, he said, "Well, actually, it was indeed me who asked Principal Li to call you, Young Master, but I really had no other intentions." His heart trembled, feeling as if he was forcing Lu Xiaobu into a corner. Showing wounds and having Principal Li call. No wonder Young Master Bu was displeased! He realized he had made a mistake! Lu Xiaobu remained silent. "I... I... I was wrong! Young Master Bu, its okay if you dont go." Chen Feiyang lowered his head like a child! Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He realized even at his age, he couldnt withstand the gaze of Lu Xiaobu. Not only him, but the other celebrities were also bowing their heads, too scared to speak! "Fine, Ill go." Lu Xiaobu finally spoke. "Really!" Chen Feiyang immediately burst into an ecstatic expression, jumping up like a child. "Thank you, Young Master Bu!" "Thank you, Young Master Bu!" The other celebrities also cheered jubilantly! With Young Master Bu backing them up, they were fearless! Such was the current force of Lu Xiaobu, one look subdued everyone, one word delighted everyone! Even when these people stepped outside, they were prominent celebrities just the same! ... Two days later, the time for the award ceremony arrived. Lu Xiaobu wore a chic suit prepared by Liang Lan, and set off towards the venue in a car. Perhaps someone might ask, why not wear big shorts anymore? Is the person asking this sick? Just a few days ago, it was school, no big deal, but now its an award ceremony! Deliberately wearing big shorts, making people laugh? And then get humiliated?! That would be idiotic behavior! ... Upon arriving at the venue, even before parking, Lu Xiaobu noticed an amusing scene! There were two groups, clearly celebrity teams, blocking the entrance of the parking lot! None of the celebrities had appeared, all sitting in their cars. The agents from both sides were confronting each other head-on. Left side agent: "Oh, you guys go in first! Were not in a hurry!" Right side agent: "No worries, we can wait a bit." Left side: "Im telling you to go ahead, stop with the useless chatter!" Right side: "You dare boss us around? What the hell are you!" Left side: "You go first!" Right side: "We must go in last!" "..." Lu Xiaobu smacked his lips and looked at Chen Feiyang beside him, asking, "Whats this all about?" Chen Feiyang curled his lip disdainfully, "What else? Just being divas. Everyone thinks theyre a big shot and needs to show up fashionably late to have that clout!" "Oh my god! Idiots!" Lu Xiaobu was speechless, "Zhang Meng, lets go. Let the idiots stay out; well head in!" "Young Master, we cant get in," Zhang Meng explained. They were in an RV, which was bigger than other vehicles, and the current entrance was blocked, totally inaccessible! Lu Xiaobu directly opened the sunroof and poked his head out: "Everyone, get the hell away from your young master!" "Who are you to shout orders?" Two agents were already heated, and upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, they instantly counter-sneered. Then... The next second! Upon seeing Lu Xiaobu clearly, the two agents shivered all over. They hurriedly instructed the driver to clear the way. And they quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile, "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, please dont take offense, we didnt know it was you!" "A bunch of idiots. Zhang Meng, lets go!" Lu Xiaobu cursed. The RV moved into the parking lot. Even after Lu Xiaobu and his group had left the lot, the two scolded agents were still bending over, not daring to stand straight. It was only when they could no longer see them that the two agents stood up, let out a breath, and wiped the cold sweat off their brows. Then... The two resumed bickering! As if whoever went in first would lose a piece of meat! What about Lu Xiaobu who just entered? They couldnt afford to provoke him; whenever he enters, he owns the place! Upon reaching the red carpet. "Wow, its Supreme Treasure! I love you, I am your Zixia!" "Zixia, I am your Supreme Treasure!" "Bai Jingjing, I love you!" "..." Screams erupted from the fan crowd on both sides! And plenty were loudly reciting those classic lines: "Once there was a sincere love in front of me that I did not cherish, only to regret when Ive lost it..." "My beloved is a hero of the world, and one day, he will ride the colorful clouds to marry me. I guess the beginning..." "Look, that person looks like a dog!" With the popularity of "A Chinese Odyssey," its cast also became famous. Its a pity though, the fans seem to remember more of their characters rather than the actors themselves! However, this is also an honor as it shows they are more actors than just stars! And they all knew, all this was given by Young Master Bu! Crossing the red carpet, entering the lobby. Signing autographs. Taking photos. Lu Xiaobu had no interest in these; it was all handled by Chen Feiyang and the others. Today, he was just here to be a bystander! Of course, if there really was some foul play, that would be a different story! Entering the real venue. By now, many people had already filled the seats! Many were greeting Chen Feiyang and his group! "Old Chen! Youve become legendary with this one!" "Amazing!" "Ive watched it ten times already, no good, you owe me for my tears!" "In fact, were all here just to make up the numbers, looks like all the awards will be swept by your crew!" "So handsome! Young Master Bu, next time youve got a movie, take me along, Old Chen!" "Yes, yes! Isnt Young Master Bu coming?" "..." Chen Feiyang kept nodding and laughing in response. He glanced at Young Master Bu who had already taken the lead walking around and smiled bitterlyYoung Master Bu, you really dont care at all! Lu Xiaobu was initially quite relaxed, however, as the award ceremony began! Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowedsure enough, theres some shady business! Trying to mess with me?! Chapter 171 You Are Not Worthy! [Sect Leader Bowen’s Third Release] Chapter 171: Chapter 171 You Are Not Worthy! [Sect Leader Bowens Third Release]The award ceremony has begun! With a bunch of tedious formalities that almost put Lu Xiaobu to sleep, plus the ever-obtuse host dragging out the words... The first winner finally emerged! "The Best Actor of this ceremony is... Han Meng, congratulations to him!" The host excitedly announced with a microphone in hand. Hearing the hosts words, everyone present was flabbergasted! What? Han Meng?! Are you an idiot, host? And those so-called expert judges! Do you all have holes in your brains? Han Meng can be the Best Actor? Still, despite the shock. After all, we are all part of the same circle, and Han Mengs brain-dead fans are famously numerous. So, nobody dared to offend and could only clap half-heartedly! Han Meng stood up, waving his hand proudly and casting a triumphant glance at the "A Chinese Odyssey" crews spot. Meanwhile, Zhou Kunxin, who played the Supreme Treasure, was overwhelmed with disappointment. He thought it was almost a sure bet. But now... At this moment, he truly felt terrible, yet he had no choice but to clap! It was like a childs toy being given to a relatives kid, with the parents telling him to be indulgent! Lu Xiaobus expression also darkened. Han Meng?! He genuinely couldnt believe this guy could have pulled off any decent movie. "Sister Lan, what movie did Han Meng act in?" Lu Xiaobu asked in a low voice. "Its that Youthful Frenzy!" Liang Lan explained quietly. "Turn it on for me to see." Lu Xiaobu continued, skeptical but not one to slander without cause. He wanted to speak with facts! And while Lu Xiaobu was checking out "Youthful Frenzy." Han Meng was delivering his acceptance speech. "Thank you for your love, everything I have comes from my fans, it is their love that has landed me this award." Han Meng showed a flirtatious smile to the camera, yes, utterly flirtatious. Instantly, the viewers watching the live broadcast exploded! "Han Meng, we love you!" "Youre the best!" "One Best Actor award is too little for you; all awards tonight, including Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Supporting Actor should be yours!" "..." The brain-dead fans had lost their minds, even suggesting an actor for the Best Director award! "Do you have anything special you want to say? Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The host asked with a chuckle. "I sure do." Han Meng cleared his throat: "Everyones probably aware of the Weibo spat a while ago, due to my endorsement, I was subjected to insults from the haughty and overbearing Lu Xiaobu, he even unjustifiably intercepted my ad effectiveness!" "I held back then! Because he was right, I didnt have any notable works at the time, but today I do!" "So, I want to state solemnly to everyone, those words were nonsense!" He was outright talking about Lu Xiaobu! The host said with a laugh, "It seems that spat on Weibo really hurt Han Meng, huh!" "Yes, Ive never seen such a vulgar person!" Han Meng concluded his speech with a bow, then threw another coquettish look at the camera. This was even more direct! He was virtually cursing him by name! Suddenly, Han Mengs brain-dead fans went insane! "Lu Xiaobu, come out and face me!" "Youre an idiot! See this? My idol Han Meng won an award!" "Previously, my idol Han Meng didnt bother with you, see this now?" "You damned fool, how dare you insult my idol Han Meng?!" "Believe it or not, we can destroy you in minutes!" "..." And Lu Xiaobus Weibo was swiftly besieged! "F**k your mother, Lu Xiaobu!" "Youre just an idiot with a bit of money, think youre something special?!" "Dare to insult Han Meng, Ill curse you to death today!" "..." And at this moment... Lu Xiaobu had just fast-forwarded uncountable times and finished watching the so-called "Youthful Frenzy"! He had only one comment C what the hell is this?! The blatant photo edits, dead fish eyes, and out-of-sync dialogue in "Youthful Frenzy" enraged Lu Xiaobu so much he smashed his phone! Thinking back to the scars on Zhou Kunxins body! Can this guy really be the Best Actor? If someone says theres no backroom deal, who would believe that!? The host continued the announcement: "Next, we will present the Best Director award, and the winner is... Chen Feiyang!" Chen Feiyang, after all, is a veteran in the film industry, they wouldnt dare go too far with him! So, this award was indeed well-deserved! People inside the circle all sighed. "Ah, whats happening to this era?" "Indeed, all these shenanigans with awards, so many people work their whole life for such honors! But look at it now! Ah!" "Its really freaking sad, even achieving whats well-deserved is freaking difficult now!" "Poor Old Chen, he was counting on making a classic, but now, alas!" "..." Chen Feiyangs face was ashen. This award was humiliating to accept; he didnt even want to go up to receive it. But if he truly didnt accept it, its likely that the whole crew would be in danger! He could only stand up reluctantly, squeezing out a smile, preparing to accept the award. "Sit down." Lu Xiaobu let out a light command. Playing behind-the-scenes tricks right under his nose? Then you play on! "Young Master Bu!?" Chen Feiyang was startled, unsure of what Lu Xiaobu meant! Lu Xiaobu stood up, dusting off his clothes: "Ill accept this award!" While speaking, Lu Xiaobu strode up to the stage! "You are!?" The host was taken aback! This is obviously not Chen Feiyang! Whats going on? "Im here to accept the award, any objections?" Lu Xiaobu disdainfully glanced at the host! This host isnt any good either! "You! You are!" The host was getting angry! This was an open challenge to the Golden Fire Award! Such audacity! "I am Lu Xiaobu, do you have a problem with that!?" Lu Xiaobu looked at the host and sneered. "Uh..." The host instantly seemed as if his throat was clogged by a duck egg, utterly unable to speak! Lu Xiaobu? Number one on the Newcomer Rich List!? The mastermind behind A Chinese Odyssey!? You say hes not qualified? Hes the one without the qualifications to say that! The host could only respectfully step aside and imply it was okay! Lu Xiaobu took over the microphone and received the trophy. He flipped the trophy in his hand and then laughed! "This thing? I, Young Master Bu, dont want it, and A Chinese Odyssey doesnt need it! Youre not worthy of presenting an award to A Chinese Odyssey!" Lu Xiaobu sneered. He casually tossed the trophy behind him! Bang! Crack! The trophy smashed heavily onto the ground! In a flash, it broke into pieces! The scattered fragments of the trophy, with the words Golden Fire Award on it, were glaringly obnoxious! Everyone was dumbfounded! They all looked at Lu Xiaobu on stage incredulously! Smashing the trophy in front of everyone, in front of the award officials, before the microphone!? And what did he say? Unworthy!? The Golden Fire Award is unworthy of presenting an award to A Chinese Odyssey?! Lu Xiaobu, have you lost your mind?! Publicly challenging the Golden Fire Award?! Even if you dont care, what about the crew of A Chinese Odyssey?! Lu Xiaobu sneered at the looks from everyone! This kind of sham trophy?! To give to him?! He doesnt want it! Its humiliating! Chapter 172: Name Your Price! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Name Your Price! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"What do you mean!?" The host instantly bristled: "Although you are number one on the Newcomer Rich List, you cant insult our Golden Fire Award like this." "Are you in charge here? If not, get lost, youre not qualified to speak to me!" Lu Xiaobu sneered, looking down at the host! The hosts face turned green instantly! But he couldnt refute at all! He was just a host, unqualified from all aspects to speak with Lu Xiaobu! And he wasnt the only one with a green face, there was another whose face turned even greener! That was Han Meng, who had just received an award! His face was no longer green, it was ghastly pale, utterly pale! He hadnt expected Lu Xiaobu to be at the event too! He had wanted to show off a bit in Lu Xiaobus absence, but now... Its over! Last time, because of that matter, he was scolded thoroughly! And this time, isnt it going to be even worse!? Instinctively, he stood up wanting to leave the venue! "Zhang Meng, watch the door for me, break the legs of anyone who dares to leave!" Lu Xiaobu slightly glanced sideways and commanded. "Yes!" Zhang Meng shouted sternly, lifting up a large table, and with a thud, smashed it in front of the door, completely blocking it! Han Meng, sneaking forward, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat all over! "Lu Xiaobu, have you caused enough trouble? Even if youre number one on the Newcomer Rich List, our Golden Fire Award is not a place for you to be arrogant!" A middle-aged man in a suit with a round face and thick eyebrows walked out from backstage, his face full of anger. Looking at the tag on his clothes, he should be one of the judges of this Golden Fire Award, namedFang Yunlong! "Are you in charge?" Lu Xiaobu asked with a slight tilt of his eyes. "Yes! Im one of the judges, authorized to negotiate with you and demand an explanation!" Fang Yunlong spoke furiously, righteously indignant! "Fine, name your price!" Lu Xiaobu turned, leaned against the podium, and took the microphone in hand. "Name what price?" Fang Yunlong was caught off guard by the question! "The price for these awards! Arent you playing behind the scenes? Seriously, youre idiots for not involving me. Dont you know Young Master here isnt short of money? Come on, name a price, Ill take care of all the awards today!" Once Lu Xiaobu finished speaking, everyones faces in the venue changed! The faces of the judges turned from green to purple! This was a blatant slap in their faces! Telling them outright that Lu Xiaobu was going to buy the awards with money! While they did have some shady deals, they shouldnt be made public! If backdoor deals go public, can they still be called backdoor deals?! But underneath, people were secretly cheering. "Young Master Bu, well done!" "Someone needed to deal with them!" "A group of people making a fuss over nothing, treating chicken feathers as command flags!" "Just an award, huh? Talk money? Who has Young Master Bu ever feared?!" "Want money, lets give you money!" "..." "Sister Lan, come." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand bringing Liang Lan forward: "Here, make some cheques for these people." "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan stood by Lu Xiaobus side. "Fang Yunlong, right? Here, is one billion enough?" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. Liang Lan immediately wrote a cheque for one billion and placed it in front of Fang Yunlong! "Lu Xiaobu, dont go too far, I am a judge of the Golden Fire Award, even a visiting professor at Emperor Electric! By seniority, you should call me Teacher Fang!" Fang Yunlong was furious! This was too much! A sense of humiliation overwhelmed him! "Sister Lan, dont do this, this is insulting Teacher Fang!" Lu Xiaobu picked up the cheque. "Ah?" The crowd was stunned. Thats it? Did he suddenly change his behavior? Not insulting? And even calling him Teacher Fang? Fang Yunlongs face slightly relaxed: "Thats right, if you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones!" "This thing, must be handled like this!" Lu Xiaobu picked up the check and slapped it on Fang Yunlongs face! Damn, still pretending to be high and mighty! Still my teacher?! My ass! "Slap!" Being slapped with a check doesnt hurt! But it hurts deep inside! The slap caused Fang Yunlong to physically shudder! His entire body felt like it was about to have a heart attack! "Good! Thats how it should be, and you think you deserve to be a guest professor at Emperor Electric? F*ck you, how did you even get into Emperor Electric, others might not know, but do you think I dont? You really disgrace Emperor Electric!" Chen Feiyang suddenly stood up, pointing at Fang Yunlong and cursing! Fang Yunlongs face immediately turned red: "You! You all! Lu Xiaobu! Chen Feiyang! You!" He was so angry he couldnt even speak! His lungs were about to burst! "Oh? Looks like one billion isnt enough? Sister Lan, five billion!" Lu Xiaobu twisted his neck, just five billion. Liang Lan immediately wrote another five billion check, and slapped it on Fang Yunlongs face. Seeing those zeros, Fang Yunlong felt immense humiliation. But he couldnt help but feel a surge of greed rising within him! He was originally after money, playing behind the scenes, how could he not be excited seeing five billion!? Five billion, its five billion! He really wanted to grab the five billion and flee! With these five billion, he wouldnt have to worry about living for the rest of his life! "Hehe!" "Humph!" A burst of cold laughter echoed through the venue. Who were they? They were filmmakers, people from the film industry! Capturing expressions and intentions was the basics for them! Thus, the moment greed appeared in Fang Yunlongs eyes, they noticed! Still pretending? Your true colors are showing! "Not right!" Hearing the cold laughter, Fang Yunlong gritted his teeth, heart bleeding as he tore the two checks to shreds: "You are insulting me, insulting the Golden Fire Award! I will sue you! Sue you!" "Oh? Isnt the judgment of the Golden Fire Award based on money?" Lu Xiaobu shrugged: "Did I say anything wrong?" "Nonsense! Our Golden Fire Award is fair and impartial, money is not in the scope of consideration!" Fang Yunlong righteously said: "We consider the comprehensive aspects of an actor, you are just causing trouble because your actor didnt win an award, you are maliciously disrupting the order." Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Dont bullshit me with big hats, come on, you said comprehensive qualities, right? Lets hear them one by one! Let me and everyone here see your judgment!" Lu Xiaobu sneered, he really didnt believe it! "Alright! I" Fang Yunlong suddenly stuttered! Damn it, what comprehensive qualities does Han Meng have!? Now, he couldnt even remember! Seeing the sneer deepening on Lu Xiaobus face, Fang Yunlong gritted his teeth and without thinking, blurted out: "He is a member of the famous boy band TXH, just the fame alone, you cannot deny that!" Once the words were out, he was baffled! Was he an idiot? Talking about fame in a movie award? What difference does it have with comparing good looks in a boxing ring! It seems he already heard the mockery from the audience! But since it had come to this, there was no choice but to face it head-on! "Thats right, its fame, as a young man, you must have heard of TXH!" Fang Yunlong said through gritted teeth. "TXH? Never heard of them! Are they male or female? Or neither?" Lu Xiaobus indifferent remark instantly set the whole venue ablaze! Chapter 173: Fast Forward Like Crazy! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Fast Forward Like Crazy! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"TXH? I dont recognize them. Are they male or female? Or neither?" With a single indifferent comment from Lu Xiaobu, the scene exploded instantly! This was outright insulting someone! Just like the time he insulted Han Meng before! Just one sentence - its like pointing at your nose and cursing you out, what can you do about it!? Online, the reaction was even more intense, almost like a nuclear bomb! Whos TXH? Theyre the hottest, most popular boy band among the youth right now! Each member is a pretty boy chased by countless young girls! With that one sentence, Lu Xiaobu has truly angered the masses! His Weibo account had already been besieged. And now, it was absolutely blowing up! "Lu Xiaobu you bastard, you just made a movie called A Chinese Odyssey, right? Plus, did you even shoot it? What gives you the right to say that?" "Director Chen and the others dont even care, what are you babbling on about?" "Buying awards with money, do you think youre something just because youre wealthy? What are you, a waste of family fortune?" "A Chinese Odyssey ? What trash, only idiots watch A Chinese Odyssey!" "Like a dog, all of you who watch A Chinese Odyssey are dogs!" "Questioning their gender, someone like you doesnt deserve to be wealthy! Not even recognizing TXH, what even are you!?" "What gives you the right to spout such nonsense here!" "..." But Lu Xiaobu is no amateur. He just didnt react right away. Now, his fans and the fans of A Chinese Odyssey have caught on. Upon hearing these brain-dead fans insult A Chinese Odyssey and Lu Xiaobu, they were immediately enraged! "F*ck, insulting Young Master Bu? Ill f*ck your mother! Money makes you impressive? It f*cking does!" "A bunch of idiots, really asking for it!" "Not understanding A Chinese Odyssey, did your IQ miss the payment?" "Young Master Bu is right to swear, you lot deserve a good cursing out! F*ck!" "Not knowing TXH is wrong? I dont know them! Are they male or female!? Take your pants off and lets see!" "..." And naturally, some funny things happened too! For example. "A nobody with just a few hundred thousand Weibo followers dares to talk about our TXH boy band? Our fans outnumber yours by several times! I get it now, youre just trying to ride our fame being first on the Newcomer Rich List! Do you have any idea how hard Han Meng has worked for his dreams? He was once burning with a fever of over 70 degrees and still insisted on signing autographs for us fans, doesnt such a person deserve respect?" "F*ck, another brain-dead fan! Im out!" "Upstairs, you got it wrong, thats a friendly!" "Wow, Im impressed, why are you showing off so much!?" "All herniated discs, how come youre sticking out like this!?" "My forty-meter long knife cant be taken back now! What should I do?" "..." Lu Xiaobu at the award ceremony couldnt see any of these Weibo posts, and even if he did, he wouldnt care. However, he could see the reaction of the people at the venue. Han Meng, who had thought about escaping earlier, suddenly stood up: "Lu Xiaobu, youve gone too far! Why do you say that?" "Why?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed: "Do you dare put on a dress right now and see how many people will stone you? Im afraid youll find yourself fiercely rubbed on the ground!" Han Mengs face turned green instantly! He truly wanted to retort - What if I did wear it?! But before he could speak, he faltered inside! What if, just what if the rubbing happened... no no no, thats not right, I mean, if his cross-dressing photos got out, hed be even less able to clear things up! Fang Yunlong, who wanted to say something too, saw that Han Meng got slammed to the point of speechlessness by Lu Xiaobu, and found himself even less capable of speaking up. So, he quickly tried to change the subject! "Popularity is only a part of it, we value acting skills more!" Fang Yunlong shamelessly declared. Once he said this! "Pfft! Hahahaha!" Holding his stomach, Lu Xiaobu laughed loudly: "Acting skills? Youve got some nerve to even say that! I know youre changing the subject, but the topic youre diverting to is even more pathetic!" "Sister Lan, lets allow everyone to enjoy Youthful Frenzy," Lu Xiaobu commanded. "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan projected Youthful Frenzy onto the big screen. "Come on, Fang Yunlong, enlighten me, where do you see any acting talent in this movie?! Arent you a teacher? Go on, give us all a good lesson!" Lu Xiaobu pointed at the big screen and said to Fang Yunlong. "Fine, Ill give you some pointers!" Fang Yunlong said through gritted teeth. He hadnt gotten over "Youthful Frenzy". But he thought, since it had so many fans, it couldnt be a thorough flop, right? Just picking out one or two points to discuss should do. Yeah, thats the plan! And then... A minute passed! Fang Yunlongs face had turned green. His hand started frantically pressing the fast-forward button. The speed-up ratio on the screen was X4! Two minutes passed! The speed-up ratio on the screen had changed to X16! Fang Yunlongs face was purple! Five minutes passed! The speed-up ratio on the screen was X16! And Fang Yunlong, with a darkened face, was still furiously fast-forwarding! "Alright, stop fast-forwarding, the progress bar is almost at the end!" Xiaobu reminded Fang Yunlong, who had just switched to X32 speed fast-forward. At this moment, the projected image was almost too blurry to see any figures, but Fang Yunlong seemed to think it wasnt fast enough! END! The word "End" appeared on the screen! "Phew! Its finally damn over, what the hell was that..." Fang Yunlong let out a sigh without thinking, the words slipping out! "Oh?" Xiaobu heard it and immediately burst into laughter, revealing an amused smile. The others present also laughed, all looking at Fang Yunlong with a teasing gaze! Only Han Meng and their crew were neither able to sit nor stand comfortably! They all wished they could find a crack in the ground to bury their heads! Dammit, Fang Yunlong, did we pay you to do this? Even if it really sucked, you should at least make up a couple of sentences! What they didnt know was that Fang Yunlong was also suffering inside! He had planned to make up a few sentences, but damn, the movie had to have something for him to go off of! I mean, with all that investment, couldnt you decrease the ads and spend some money on better post-production? Of course, I cant blame post-production; its a miracle they could polish your dreadful acting to this extent! Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Look, look, theres a scene thats clearly about breaking up; according to the plot, they should be sad! However... What the heck are the two main characters smiling about! And those lip movements, the dialogue youre saying, damn it, if its not "Whats for dinner tonight," Ill change my last name to yours! The atmosphere at the scene was very delicate! Xiaobu and the others were all waiting for Fang Yunlongs explanation. "Fang Yunlong?" Xiaobu said with a playful smile: "Were still waiting for your acting commentary!" "This! This!" Fang Yunlong bit his lip, looked up at the screen, then lowered his head again. Damn it, what rubbish! In the end! He gritted his teeth! A ruthless look flashed across his face! "Fine, whatever you say is right, perhaps Han Meng and these young actors arent mature enough, but that doesnt mean the awards should just go to A Chinese Odyssey! The leading actors in your crew are also young stars!" Fang Yunlong blurted out. He had begun to act shamelessly! Not giving it to "Youthful Frenzy", fine! But I wont give it to "A Chinese Odyssey" either! What can you do to me? Hearing these words, Xiaobus mouth curled into a cold smirk! Yes, our lead actor Zhou Kunxin is indeed a young star, but he is more of an actor! Young Master is going to show you the difference between an actor and a young star! Chapter 174: Chicken or Duck? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Chicken or Duck? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Zhou Kunxin, come up here." Lu Xiaobu looked at Zhou Kunxin, who played the character Zhi Zun Bao (Supreme Treasure), and said. Lu Xiaobu had realized something when watching moviesalthough Zhou Kunxin didnt resemble Stephen Chow physically, the ernest dedication to his role and the perseverance rooted deep in his bones were really similar to Stephen Chow! Therefore, his portrayal of Zhi Zun Bao was satisfactory; it met Lu Xiaobus expectations! "Yes, Young Master Bu." Zhou Kunxin hurried onto the stage, standing respectfully beside Lu Xiaobu. "Take off your clothes." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. "Yes!" Zhou Kunxin had no complaints about Lu Xiaobu asking him to strip in public; in his heart, he was filled with gratitude! He knew this was Young Master Bu seeking justice for them, proving to the world that he was an actor, not just a pretty vase that sells his face! Lu Xiaobu nodded in approval. As the lead actor, Zhou Kunxin was the one who received the harshest demands from director Chen Feiyang, and as a result, he was the most injured. One must know that at the time of filming, the total investment was merely ten million, and their salaries were virtually non-existent. But still, he gritted his teeth and persevered, unlike that Gong Shu who abandoned the project halfway through! If such a person cannot win an award, then who can? The audience was still puzzled about why Lu Xiaobu made someone strip. Then they saw the torso covered in scars. "Hisss!" Everyone at the scene took a sharp breath. "These are scars from hanging wires; how many times did he have to do that?!" "Thats a friction burn, and looking at the pattern, its been rubbed raw in the same spot over a dozen times!" "And over there, those bruises from fatigue, one has to be truly dedicated to end up like that!" "..." "I know, perhaps in the eyes of some real veteran actors, these things here are all too common," Lu Xiaobu said. Many of the veteran actors nodded in agreement. Indeed, in their time, artists werent as insanely celebrated as they are now; back then, getting hurt during filming was the norm, and those who didnt were the ones ridiculed. "But now, the era is different; look at Zhou Kunxin, with his young, fresh-faced looks, he still threw himself so wholeheartedly into filming the movie. Of course, if the result was a bad film, then all of this would be meaningless, but is A Chinese Odyssey a bad film?" Lu Xiaobu asked the crowd. When this question was raised, everyone silently shook their heads. You can say Lu Xiaobu is arrogant, that the A Chinese Odyssey crew bullies with their power, or even that the actors are terrible! But no one would call A Chinese Odyssey a bad film. Even those biased judges and the Youthful Frenzy crew didnt dare to say that. "Then let me tell you something else, the budget for A Chinese Odyssey was merely ten million!" "Yes, you heard me right. Director Chen Feiyang only asked for ten million from me, just ten million!" "Youre all artists; you should know, after deducting the production costs of A Chinese Odyssey, how little of that ten million ended up in the actors pockets?!" Lu Xiaobu spoke with a calm tone, as if he was discussing something unrelated to himself. But it was this very tone that caused everyone to look at him with an increase in respect. Good actors! Perhaps not common in that era, but in this one, where materialism is rampant and everyone wants something for nothing, to still find actors who dont care about the paycheck and are serious about their craft is truly rare! Quite a few directors have already begun to quietly take note of Zhou Kunxinthis actor is not bad, we can consider him for future films! "Why am I angry today, why am I upset? You all probably know. Such hard-working actors dont get the recognition they deserve, while those who rely on their looks to deceive young girls win awards! If thats the case, why bother making movies in the future? Wouldnt it be better to just make a PowerPoint presentation and play it in cinemas?!" Lu Xiaobus tone was unforgiving, and his next sentence was even sharper: "Let me ask you, who do you know that relies on their looks to seduce others for money?" With this statement, everyones eyes turned to Han Meng and his team of young, fresh-faced actors. The looks in their eyes were filled with amusement. Yes, Young Master Bu asked a good questionwho relies on their appearance to seduce others for money? Han Meng and his teams faces turned a shade of blue-green! Their psychological defense was like a piece of fragile glass, smashed by Lu Xiaobus sledgehammer. Humiliation, shame, embarrassment, furyall these emotions were swirling in their hearts! But they were at a loss for words to refute! Unable to bring up any evidence to the contrary! Compete in dedication? Could they even compare? Compete in popularity? Hadnt they been criticized enough?! Competing on looks? Thats freaking suicide! "I bet youve guessed by now, its a chicken, oh, my bad, its a duck, or is it? Can anyone tell if its a chicken or a duck?" Lu Xiaobu doesnt know what it means to be lenient when you have the upper hand; he only knows to strike the snake at its vital point. When dealing with such people, you crush them without mercy! Thought I wasnt around and started mocking freely? Talking behind someones back isnt worth a damn! Young Master speaks to your face! And leaves you speechless with no comeback! Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, everyones faces strained with mischievous smirks! What does this mean? I think everyone is crystal clear! Its like saying youre a duck, no respite for you! Unable to distinguish between a chicken and a duck means you cant tell men from women! Han Meng exploded with fury but couldnt utter a single word! As for Fang Yunlong! Hed long since dared not speak! He was afraid that if he said anything, Lu Xiaobu would target him next! But! If he doesnt speak, would Lu Xiaobu let him off the hook? Wishful thinking! "Fang Yunlong, where do you think youre hiding? Where can you even hide?" Lu Xiaobus eyes swept over and focused on Fang Yunlong: "Come on, tell me, what is this thing, a chicken or a duck?" Fang Yunlongs complexion tightened! Damn it, he still couldnt avoid it! As everyones gaze followed Lu Xiaobus question, they all turned to him. He began to sweat profusely! Finally, a stroke of genius: "Lu Xiaobu, this is personal attack, I refuse to answer your question!" "Right, personal attack!" Han Meng finally found a reason to retort, immediately leaping up: "Ill sue you, take you to court!" "Sue me? Bring it on!" Lu Xiaobu laughed: "Whos got a phone for him to call and sue me?" "Here you go!" Chen Feiyang immediately passed his phone to Han Meng, he was secretly thrilled! Young Master Bu is Young Master Bu! No one can match him! Behind-the-scenes manipulation? Try that in front of Young Master Bu! Showing off? Try that in front of Young Master Bu! Lets not even talk about that - given a phone now, would you dare to call? Scared to death! Sure enough! Han Meng didnt dare to take the phone. Why would he dare to call? sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He couldnt even imagine the consequences that would follow! "So, are you calling or not?" Lu Xiaobu said, looking at Han Meng. "No, I dare not!" Han Meng, clenched his teeth and could only say so! He had succumbed! He had to succumb! If this went on, hed be the one whod get destroyed in the end! But does it all end with his submission? The corner of Lu Xiaobus mouth curled into a cold smile: "But, I really want to know whether youre a man or a woman! So, just like I said before, dress up in womens clothes, let everyone have a look, let me know whether youre male or female, and thatll settle it! How about it?" The crowd went wild at onceHan Meng in womens clothes? This humiliation really hit rock bottom! Yet why did they feel a hint of anticipation?! Chapter 175 Damn, Exciting! [De Gaulle·Eisen Ten Thousand Reward Plus More] Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Damn, Exciting! [De GaulleEisen Ten Thousand Reward Plus More]Han Mengs face turned completely red upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words! Wearing womens clothing? Wearing womens clothing! This is nothing but humiliation! He would never wear it! Hed rather die than wear it! "Dont speak yet." Lu Xiaobu looked at Han Mengs angry expression and directly interrupted him: "Let me say one more thing, then you can answer me." "You should be clear about the kind of people who can participate in the Golden Fire Award in the film industry." "If I ask them to choose between banning you and not cooperating with me, what do you think they will choose?" "Thats all I have to say, think about it carefully!" "Sister Lan, time him, thirty seconds." Lu Xiaobu continued indifferently: "Let him think it over well!" "Okay!" Liang Lan started timing! Han Meng fell into silence, beneath which was deep fear! Would these people choose to ban him or not cooperate with Lu Xiaobu? Isnt that obvious? They would definitely choose to ban him! He knew his own weight and was aware of it! Could it be? Does he really have to wear womens clothing?! A deep sense of humiliation swelled in his heart! While he was thinking, others were also whispering among themselves: "Young Master Bu is too ruthless!" "Nonsense, dont you want to see? If not, why keep staring at Han Meng!" "By the way, you guys arent all bent, are you?" "Becoming bent is impossible, but I really do want to see it, for real!" "I want to see too!" "..." Wu Qianmin felt somewhat embarrassed: "Xiaobu, how can you make him wear womens clothing?!" Zhou Jingyuans interest increased: "Great! Good idea! I also want to see!" Then she suddenly pondered: "I wonder what Xiaobu would look like in womens clothing?" Lu Xiaobu immediately retorted: "Get that thought out of your mind!" ... Time ticked away by the second! "Times up!" Liang Lan spoke out. "I! Ill wear it!" Han Meng gritted his teeth and gave his answer! The humiliation on his face almost became tangible! "But, you have to promise me, turn off the live stream!" This was Han Mengs last condition! Even he himself hadnt noticed. As he spoke, his voice was filled with a pleading tone! He had fully yielded, completely yielded! Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay!" That settled it on his end! The netizens exploded! This time, even Han Mengs fans joined in! "No way! Young Master Bu, thats not fair!" Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes, my Han Meng in womens clothing, why cant we watch? You have no right!" "We want to see Han Meng in womens clothing!" "Hes our Han Meng, you have no right to watch, only we do!" "..." But their clamor clearly wouldnt affect Lu Xiaobus decision! He still ordered the live stream to be turned off! Seeing the live stream turned off! Han Meng let out a breath of relief! Even his look towards Lu Xiaobu inadvertently showed a bit of gratitude! Yes, it was gratitude, though faint, it truly existed! This was similar to ancient criminals who would still thank the Emperor when ordered to be beheaded! Because just beheading meant not exterminating his entire family! It was the same now, Lu Xiaobu agreeing to turn off the live stream was sparing his metaphorical family! He, like those criminals, started expressing his thanks! Seeing that Han Meng agreed! Without any arrangement from Lu Xiaobu, various makeup artists naturally took Han Meng to dress in womens clothing! ... Everyone patiently waited while Han Meng changed his clothes! Honestly, this feeling is freaking exhilarating! Everyone was fantasizing about what Han Meng looked like in womens clothes on the bed! Even Fang Yunlong was looking forward to it! Damn, I cant help but anticipate it! There were some people who wanted to go to the bathroom but forcefully held it in! Finish watching first, then go! ... Finally! Hes dressed! The room where Han Meng was changing his clothes was opened! Everyone was staring intently at that room! But for a long time, no one came out! Only a sound of heavy breathing could be heard! It was clearly Han Mengs breathing! After a minute. A leg clad in black high-heels and white stockings stepped out! For many people, the first reactionthose legs rule, no explanation needed! Then, a black mini-skirt! Gradually, Han Mengs whole body stood at the entrance of the room! The makeup artist was also naughty, actually dressing Han Meng up in a black maids outfit! At this moment, Han Meng, wearing a wig, light makeup on his face, decorative items on his head, and tight-fitting maids outfit! The funniest thing was, his face red with anger could temporarily pass for bashfulness under these circumstances! Thus, Han Meng, originally a male, turned out to be cuter than an actual maid! For some reason, there was even a faint sense of melancholy! So! The scene exploded! "Damn! What should I freaking say?" "Young Master Bu, 666, no wonder we cant tell the gender! He looks even better than real girls in that outfit!" "Damn, I cant take it anymore, I cant keep watching or Ill turn!" "Damn, this is too freaking explosive! If I didnt know this was Han Meng, Id be utterly shocked!" "Damn, damn! Right now, I just want to say damn, nothing else!" ... Wu Qianmin secretly clicked her tongue: "Oh my god! Is this still a man? Who dares say he is a man?" Liang Lan scanned up and down: "Tsk tsk tsk, are boys this cute nowadays?" Zhou Jingyuan pursed her lips: "Im growing more and more curious to see Xiaobu in womens clothes!" At that moment... "Ah!" The three women suddenly exclaimed! Everyone turned to look! The three women quickly waved their hands: "Its nothing, its nothing!" Seeing everyones gaze shift back to Han Meng... The three women coquettishly said: "Xiaobu, Young Master, you are being a rogue again!" While speaking, the three women took Lu Xiaobus opportunistic hands away. "I have no choice, if I dont act now, Im going to go soft." Lu Xiaobu gave a bitter smile! He really didnt expect that Han Meng in womens clothes would be so... stunning! Han Meng, with a naturally feminine face, after makeup, turned perfectly into a woman! Coupled with his slender body and angry eyes matched with the maid outfit, it emphasized a pitiful look! Damn, this is too freaking exhilarating! "Enough?!" Han Meng gritted his teeth. He hated this feeling of being watched like a monkey! He was truly grateful that he had been in the entertainment industry for a while now and his mental capacity was acceptable. Otherwise, his mentality would really explode today! Even so, he would book a therapist tomorrow! Otherwise, he would have thoughts of dying! This was absolutely the most ruthless punishment method in history! Lu Xiaobu you are ruthless! However... His words did not get a response from Lu Xiaobu! As he furiously turned to Lu Xiaobu to demand an answer! He just found that Lu Xiaobus expression was one of both shock and amazement! Following his instinct, he looked over too! Then... His already acceptable mentality, went insane! "Im going to kill you!" Chapter 176: Becoming a Man [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Becoming a Man [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Han Meng was almost driven crazy! When he followed Lu Xiaobus gaze, he totally lost it! Damn it! He was clenching his teeth so hard they were almost crushed! He had never hated someone this much before! Even Lu Xiaobu, at this moment, he didnt hate him anymore! Because there was someone more deserving of his hatred! That person wasFang! Yun! Long! This damn bastard actually did it! Fuck your grandpa! Im gonna kill you! Han Meng ripped off the ornament on his head and roared towards Fang Yunlong! "Ah! Die!" Han Meng leaped onto the stage, and though usually weak, his emotions made him wildly aggressive! Well, he finally seemed a bit manly! "What the hell are you doing!?" Fang Yunlong roared back, feeling somewhat guilty. Its really not his fault! Really not! "Die!" Han Meng didnt care about anything else, he just launched a flurry of blows! The others all wore an immensely amused expression. "Hey, this..." "Tsk tsk tsk, didnt expect Fang Yunlong to have this kind of hobby!" "But it figures, I heard that Fang Yunlong often goes to Thailand!" "Hiss, no wonder!" "Damn explosive!" "..." And Lu Xiaobu was utterly uninterested in this catfight. "Zhou Kunxin, looks like we wont be bringing the trophy back today, Ill make it up to you later." Lu Xiaobu said to Zhou Kunxin. "No no no, Young Master Bu, dont worry! Dont worry! The honor youre giving me now is better than any trophy!" Zhou Kunxin immediately said gratefully, then glanced at the brawling Han Meng and shuddered: "And even if that trophy was brought back, I wouldnt want it! Its creepy!" "Alright, next time theres a role, Ill ask you." Lu Xiaobu patted Zhou Kunxin on the shoulder. There was a certain resilience in this young mans bones, seeming fit to play star roles! "Thank you, thank you Young Master Bu!" Zhou Kunxin was extremely grateful! Although he was older than Lu Xiaobu, when Lu Xiaobu patted his shoulder, he felt as if a senior was acknowledging him. The others were extremely envious. Oh my God! Has he become Young Master Bus man now? So envious! Do you know what todays pat on the shoulder represents? It means that Zhou Kunxins pay will immediately multiply, and he can pick and choose his movies! These directors who want Zhou Kunxin for films can no longer command but must request! Of course, Zhou Kunxin as an actor is not bad. I believe he wont act like a diva! Just in those few seconds, Zhou Kunxins phone received several messages! All of them casting calls! Even Chen Feiyang was a bit jealous! Even he hadnt received such a promise from Young Master Bu before! So jealous! Zhou Kunxin, if you dont treat us tonight, Im going to sleep at your house! "Oh, and everyone else." Lu Xiaobu looked at the other members of the crew: "Today we only highlighted Zhou Kunxin, didnt really help you all shine. So next time, if you are willing, the next movie is still yours!" "Hurrah! Long live Young Master Bu, long live, long long live!" "Young Master Bu, may you reign over Jianghu for thousands of generations!" "The drama crew of A Chinese Odyssey was blown away! Just earlier they were still envious of Zhou Kunxin! Now, theyve also received promises! Although its not as beneficial as the constant live streaming exposure that Zhou Kunxin had! But with this statement, its already enough! They believe, as long as they wish, movies will always be filmed! Trophies? Well-known trophies in the domestic film industry? sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Bullshit, theyre nothing compared to a word from Young Master Bu! "Lets go, weve wreaked havoc again." Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders, turned around to glance at the disheveled Han Meng and Fang Yunlong fighting, smacking his lips: "I thought they were pretty manly just now, how come now it looks like women clawing at each other again! Geez!" Hearing this remark! Han Meng who was in the middle of the fight, immediately felt like receiving a ten-thousand-point critical hit! Damn it! Am I not manly even when fighting?! How can one even live like this?! Its unfair to bully people like this! It was just a little arrogance earlier! Young Master Bu, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?! Please just let me go! Lu Xiaobu continued walking towards the exterior of the awards hall. Those well-known directors and actors in the film industry, all stood up to show their respect! Not just that, they were also carefully handling their business cards, trying to find ways to hand them over. It was surely inappropriate to give it to Young Master Bu. And probably not to Liang Lan either. So... They set their eyes on Chen Feiyang. "Old Chen, Old Chen, keep my card, next time Young Master Bu has a movie, call me, youll definitely be the lead director, Ill be the associate, or even a production director is fine!" "Brother Chen, you know how long our relationship has been, right? Next time..." "Dont listen to them, they are just mingling around, look how professional I am, right? Its well recognized in our circle!" "Director Chen, see my capability? I can act, I can play anything, really! Even non-human roles, should I show you one?!" "..." Chen Feiyang looked at these famous directors and actors, usually so aloof, now buttering up to him, his back molars exposed from joy! Young Master Bu is just badass! Let me see who dares to ffumble with me. It wasnt just Chen Feiyang who received adulation! Even Chen Feiyangs apprentice, the fat man Lu Hao who Xiaobu met at the pub, was surrounded by people pleasing him. "Come on, young man, are you interested in collaborating on a movie with me?" a well-known domestic director Director Li kindly said. "Director Li, Director Li, youre flattering me too much." Lu Hao hurriedly said respectfully. "Director Lu, whats your next project? Can I get a role?" Star actor Liang Fei gently said to Lu Hao. Lu Hao suddenly shivered: "Sister Fei, please dont, I cant handle it!" "..." Every member of the A Chinese Odyssey crew was pursued and esteemed. Even though they didnt win any awards today and even caused a scene. All because of Young Master Bu alone! They could imagine, if Young Master Bu wasnt there today, what the outcome wouldve been. First off, forget the trophies! The honors that were supposed to be theirs would be taken by others! And now! Although there are still no trophies, the honor is higher, and theres more of it! And all this is because of a single word from Young Master Bu! Young Master Bu is badass! All they want to say now is these words, no other words could express their excitement! Xiaobu doesnt care about this. But what he doesnt know, the impact of todays scene smashing is far from just what he saw right now! The influence he brought is even greater!" Chapter 177 Support from Movie People! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Support from Movie People! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Although the live broadcast was shut down, the matter of the Golden Fire Award Ceremony has intensified online! The scene of Zhou Kunxin covered in wounds shocked many netizens. They seem to begin to understand where the difference between an actor and a star lies. However, Han Meng and that TXH boy groups fans are still relentless towards Lu Xiaobu. "Fuck, what are you pretending for? Think youre great just because you have money? What right do you, an outsider, have to decide on matters of the film industry?!" "Exactly, didnt your A Chinese Odyssey end up not winning any awards?!" "Putting on such an act, I really dont know what for? To show off? To force a pose?" "Relying on your money and ignoring the rules?" "Let me tell you, youre not capable. The big shots of the film industry havent even spoken yet!" "..." Then... In less than half an hour! Many veteran artists, because of Lu Xiaobus leading action, finally let out the anger that had been pent up in their hearts! They all shared the recorded content of todays live broadcast and praised Lu Xiaobu! ... Award-winning national first-class actor Chen Ming on Weibo: "Although Lu Xiaobus actions today were somewhat extreme, he was right. Todays actors no longer resemble real actors. As an actor, it is your duty to dive into icy water in winter and wear a fur coat in summer! But now, every little scratch or fall has seemingly become an actors merit!" ... National first-class actor and honorary chairman of the Arts Association, Zheng Baoguo on Weibo: "Lu Xiaobu did nothing wrong. Here, I advise these young idols, after showing off and earning enough money, its time to get serious and focus on proper acting. Oh, Zhou Kunxin is a good example of this." ... An internationally known action movie star: "Today, riding on Lu Xiaobus wave, let me tell the truth! Being an action actor doesnt mean you can do it just because youre famous. Some young idols, with several body doubles and a few green and blue screens, 1, 2, 3, ah ha! That counts as shooting an action film? Youre just messing around! Let me give you five words, see when you will finish!" ... Veteran actor Guo Haolin wrote a fuming article: "Dont slander people, lately some say I have been close with these young idols, which I find insulting! I never use body doubles when filming, and I always match my lines to the lips movements. Let me tell you, I am an actor! First figure out if some of these young idols qualify as actors!" ... An elderly actor approaching eighty, with the help of his granddaughter, posted a Weibo with just two words: "Shameful!" ... These Weibo posts refreshed the homepage one after another. This is truly a genuine counterattack by real filmmakers against the young idols, against the chaotic and shambolic film market! And these veteran artists statements brought about a real backlash from the true movie fans against the brainless fans! "The artists are right, Lu Xiaobu is even more correct! You brainless fans, if you want to watch your idols films, we dont care, thats your freedom, but please dont contaminate the real movies with such trash!" "All day long blah blah blah, ask your conscience, does Youthful Frenzy even qualify as a movie? Deserve an award?" "One more word, and I will call your parents, see what they have to say!" "..." Under the furious condemnation by these veteran artists and actors, under the national backlash... The brainless fans finally shut up! No longer daring to spout nonsense! Actually, they are not fools; they know full well that their beloved idols acting is truly awful. But they thought having a pretty face was enough, acting skills didnt matter. Thus, they still dared to shout a few words before, but now, they really dare not! They truly didnt expect Lu Xiaobus influence to be so powerful! That he could get the entire film industry to speak up for him! Truly terrifying! ... After staying at home for a few days. "Hahaha, I did it!" A burst of excited yelling erupted from Li Jins room. Then Li Jin dashed out of the room, jumping and bouncing excitedly: "Young Master, I did it, I succeeded!" "Wait a minute, what did you succeed in? Did you awaken some strange attribute again? Maybe I should contact Han Meng to have you two tied the knot?!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and asked. "Uh..." Li Jin immediately felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, leaving him utterly speechless! Young Master, theres no need to be so discouraging! With a tinge of grievance, he said, "Ive already broken through the Green Emperor Longevity Technique." "So?" Lu Xiaobu continued to question. "So... Ive become stronger!" Li Jins mouth twitched. Isnt this something to be happy about? Why isnt the Young Master happy for him at all! So aggrieved! "How much stronger?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and asked. Zhang Meng, also excited, looked at Li Jin; he wanted to know how much stronger he had gotten too. Li Jin, feeling finally acknowledged, smugly held out two fingers, secreting a bit of mystery: "Twice as strong!" "Hisss!" Zhang Meng gasped, his pupils dilated! Twice as strong! On ordinary people, maybe twice isnt that scary. But on Li Jin, thats especially terrifying. After all, Li Jin was once a Special Soldier, and his physical fitness had almost reached its peak. At their level, improving even a little bit is very exciting, very awesome. Yet, Li Jin had doubled it! The Green Emperor Longevity Technique given by the Young Master is terrifying! Now, he probably cant even handle three moves against Li Jin! However... Lu Xiaobu just curled his lip: "Just twice as strong, whats there to be excited about?" "Uh..." Both Li Jin and Zhang Meng felt like crying. Young Master, do you not realize how terrifying this doubling is. "Dont you believe it?" Lu Xiaobu curled his lip: "How about, Li Jin, you take one of my moves?" "This..." Li Jin thought about it, it seemed good to prove himself to the Young Master, and since hes the one getting hit, it wouldnt hurt the Young Master: "Alright!" "Zhang Meng, with my current physical condition, about how many times stronger am I compared to the old Li Jin?" Lu Xiaobu turned to ask Zhang Meng. Yeah, if he charged too much all at once, it would be bad if Li Jin got injured. After thinking and considering overall qualities and other aspects, Zhang Meng finally gave an answer: "Not in a fight to the death situation, Young Master compared to the old Li Jin is probably about 4 times stronger! Now, it should be around 8 times." Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Tsck!" Upon hearing this data, Lu Xiaobu finally felt a bit astounded. No wonder, his All Attributes now are at full value, meaning hes the most standard normal person. However, before practicing, Li Jins physical condition was about four times his! Of course, this physical condition isnt talking only about pure attributes, but includes techniques like force application and releasea comprehensive quality! Its like, the same knife, in your hands and in the hands of a Special Soldier are two completely different concepts, not to mention the Special Soldiers speed and strength are also higher than yours! This means, he would need about eighty million in energy to have the Dragon Capturing Hand compete against the current Li Jin. Truly burning money! Hes figured it out; the Dragon Capturing Hand is best used sparingly, this thing is only for big moves, using it regularly is too disadvantageous! But then again, he has to use it today. After all, he bluffed his way here! Between us, he really just wants to see what the expression on Li Jins face would be, coming out full of confidence from his cultivation breakthrough, only to be slapped away! Sounds like fun! Cough cough cough, is he becoming naughty!? No, no, hes helping Li Jin temper his mind, yes, thats it! Chapter 179: Young Master, What Do You Want to Do? [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Young Master, What Do You Want to Do? [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]Li Jin and Zhang Meng were sparring half playfully, half seriously when Liang Lan returned from outside. Lu Xiaobu seemed to do nothing every day, but in fact, he had delegated all his responsibilities to Liang Lan, who then reported back to him for final confirmation. "Young Master, all the major video sites want to buy the rights to A Chinese Odyssey. Heres the price theyre offering. Do you want to take a look?" Liang Lan said, holding a spreadsheet. "Oh, how much?" Lu Xiaobu asked casually, as he laid his head on Liang Lans lap, sniffing her fragrance with a chucklecomfortable! Seeing Young Master behaving like this, Liang Lan couldnt help but smile bitterly and said, "They are offering about the same price. If its exclusive rights, the price is around eighty million. Non-exclusive is fifty million." "That little?" Lu Xiaobu frowned. Young Master, thats already a lot," Liang Lan hurriedly explained. "I remember a foreign Hollywood blockbuster that was well received in our country and made over a billion at the box office, Blood Battle. The exclusive online rights sold for only forty million, but were getting fifty million for non-exclusive rights." Thats the market price for online rights nowadays. Once its online, piracy is inevitable, and so the risk for websites is high. "So, youre saying the price is alright?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin. "Yes." Liang Lan nodded affirmatively. Its not just alright, its actually the highest price so far! "Then lets sell it." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily: "Forget about exclusivity, lets just do non-exclusive. Otherwise, how many subscriptions does one have to buy? Its really uncomfortable." "Uh..." Liang Lan was speechless, okay! Young Master, if those video sites heard you, wouldnt they want to throttle you? But of course, they wouldnt dare to. Liang Lan picked up the phone and informed the various video sites of the Young Masters decision! This one phone call, pure profitthree hundred million! Even though Liang Lan had been handling everything about A Chinese Odyssey, thinking back, it still seemed incredible to her. Keep in mind, that the initial investment in A Chinese Odyssey was only ten million! But now? After all sorts of expenses were accounted for, it made over a hundred and fifty times that amount! That is to say, Young Master currently has over 1.5 billion in funds at his disposal! And thats just for now. You should know that the popularity of A Chinese Odyssey in cinemas is still sky-high. Lu Xiaobu was asleep. "Host, host, Ive got something to tell you." The system suddenly spoke up. "Whats up? Is the account out of money again?" Lu Xiaobu frowned and said, "Ill top it up in a bit." "Not that, although, it indeed is out of money!" the system said with an embarrassed laugh. "You have no idea, theres this female streamer dancing, and man, oh manso exhilarating!" "You bloody..." Lu Xiaobu was speechless: "Stop messing around, get to the point. You always get sidetracked by girls." "Oh, right, I almost forgot." The system also knew it had acted carelessly and hurriedly continued, "Ive been kind of bored recently and want to play LOL. Lets get that sorted." "LOL? Sure, Ive been wanting to play too." Lu Xiaobus interest was piqued, and he sat up all at once. "Right?" The system was pleased with having a host that suited its taste. That sense of dominating the host, could it be more comfortable than it is now? Even if, sometimes, this host is quite a handful. "But I dont have anything." Lu Xiaobu glanced at the wasteful amount: "Just now I used Dragon Capturing Hand and there went one hundred million." "Thats simple, you go buy a company first, right. Meanwhile, Ill prepare the data, everything you need," the system whispered as if stealing something: "Once youve bought the company, youll have your wasteful amount back, and then... you just draw a prize, and Ill give you what you need!" sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This strategy is called crossing the ocean by a trick, getting something out of nothing! "Oh?!" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow: "Heh, youre quite scheming, arent you?" "Hehehe, all thanks to the hosts support!" the system also chuckled. "Right, while youre at it, prepare a suitable Cultivation Method for Zhang Meng. He seems a bit off," Lu Xiaobu continued. "No problem, leave it to me. Ill get it sorted out beautifully and prepare the most suitable Cultivation Method for him," the system assured him. "Not bad, not bad." "" Lu Xiaobu chuckledhe was pleased with the system. "Mutual, mutual!" The system chuckled toothis host is awesome! Luckily, their exchange was conducted telepathically. Otherwise, if others saw their sleazy smiles, they might think they were involved in some shady transaction. Of course, its pretty much a transaction now! Liang Lan was arranging things for the internet rights of "A Chinese Odyssey" when she suddenly saw Lu Xiaobus sleazy smile. She shivered from head to toe. "Oh my god, Young Master, you... you... you... what are you planning to do?" Liang Lan asked, somewhat scared. "I sure am." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Huh?" Liang Lan was stunned. Then... Whoosh Her pretty face instantly blushed. This Young Master, so annoying! He strikes a conversation and switches to driving immediately! "Lets go, gather everyone for a trip overseas," said Lu Xiaobu as he stretched. "Huh? Overseas?" Liang Lan was baffled, whats this new act about? Why all of a sudden decide to go abroad? Lu Xiaobu stretched and didnt explain. He was going to find an overseas gaming company to develop LOL. Its not that it couldnt be done in China. But he wanted to recreate an authentic LOL. If produced domestically, due to cultural and conceptual differences, some aspects might not be perfect. Therefore, he wanted to purchase a foreign game company. "Alright, Ill get ready," said Liang Lan, seeing that Lu Xiaobu wouldnt explain and not pressing further, she started preparing the documents. However, while getting ready, she encountered an issue. That was Zhang Meng, having a military background as a Special Soldier instructor, a staff officerwasnt free to go abroad even after retirement. Fortunately, Li Jin was just a regular Special Soldier and didnt have this issue. "Li Jin, after going overseas, you must ensure the Young Masters safety, got it?" Zhang Meng sternly instructed Li Jin upon hearing the news. "Yes, sir!" Li Jin snapped a salute, his strength now surpassing Zhang Mengs, but the instructor was still the instructor. "Zhang Meng, protect my parents at home," Lu Xiaobu instructed. "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng immediately took the order. Lu Xiaobu and the others embarked on their journey cheerfully. After Lu Xiaobu left, Zhang Mengs face finally showed an ugly expression that was neither crying nor laughing; he fiercely punched the wall next to him. While the Young Master was around, he dared not show his emotions and had to force a smile, even goofing around with Li Jin. All because he didnt want the Young Master to be upset. But now that the Young Master was gone, he could no longer repress his feelings! Today, for the first time, he felt so useless! Ever since that moment at the phone shop when he called out Young Master, he had sworn that his life, his beliefs, would all be for the Young Master! But now! Li Jin had become stronger than him, and the Young Master was stronger than Li Jin! Now he couldnt even leave the country! Does he even need to exist? Zhang Meng, this man of steel, had red eyes! No, I must become stronger! Stronger! At all costs! Chapter 180 American Prejudices [Seeking Collection, Seeking Recommendations] Chapter 180: Chapter 180 American Prejudices [Seeking Collection, Seeking Recommendations]Lu Xiaobu and his group of five boarded an international flight and arrived in American Los Angeles. The reason for choosing this place was that Liang Lan had roughly checked and it seemed there were a few good gaming companies here. Just off the plane. The five of them instantly became the center of attention at the entire airport. Countless white and black people crazily snapped photos of them with their phones. And they were all discussing amongst themselves. "Oh, cool, theyre Asians." "They are from Asia." "I wonder if they are from Japan or Korea?" "I think they look Korean!" "Look at their yellow skin, it feels so strange." "..." Not only that, some bold individuals had already started to come up and strike up conversations! "Oh, hello, my name is Jack! Are you Korean or Japanese?" A tall white man approached and asked in English. It seemed like he was asking everyone, but his gaze stayed fixed on Liang Lan. Among Lu Xiaobus group, only Liang Lan could communicate normally in English. So, eventually, it fell to Liang Lan to handle the communication. "Sorry, we are from the Heavenly Dynasty." Liang Lan politely responded. "Oh my god, Ive never met someone from the Heavenly Dynasty before, I thought you were Korean, Im very sorry." Jack exclaimed loudly, but he seemed very happy to have Liang Lan answering his question. "Thank you." After Liang Lan finished responding, she prepared to leave. "Oh, wait, may I ask you a few questions?" Jack again intercepted Lu Xiaobu and his group. "What now?" Lu Xiaobu frowned, displeased with this forceful interception. "Young Master, dont be offended, the customs here in America are different from ours back home." Liang Lan bitterly smiled as she explained. "Alright, make it quick." Lu Xiaobu wasnt unreasonable, cultural differences meant he couldnt force others to do as he wanted. "Sorry, we are in a hurry, please let us pass." Liang Lan continued. "Just two questions, only two questions." Jack persisted, almost pleading with a sense of entitlement. This was a manifestation of their inner arrogancebelieving that the white race and America are the best! Now, even Liang Lans brows were furrowed, this was no longer a simple issue of cultural differences, it was practically a command! A command to them?! What right do you have?! "Sorry, we are in a hurry, please let us pass!" Liang Lan emphasised, saying it again. "Oh, dont be angry, beautiful. I just wanted to ask if you are mixed, American and Heavenly Dynasty? Because in my mind, the Heavenly Dynasty doesnt have such beautiful girls! Thats why I think you wouldnt mind having a drink with me, to see the real America!" Jacks eyes were covetous, his tone filled with prejudice and disdain for the Heavenly Dynasty. He even believed that beautiful women couldnt possibly come from the Heavenly Dynasty! "I am born and raised in the Heavenly Dynasty, our country is the most beautiful in the world, please show some respect to the Heavenly Dynasty!" Liang Lan immediately got angry! Anything else could be tolerated, but this absolutely could not! Then... Her words seemed to ignite a fuse, drawing the attention of those around. "The most beautiful? Isnt your Heavenly Dynasty all rural?" An American lady frowned as she spoke. "Yeah, I heard that you dont brush your teeth, but so far, I havent smelled bad breath!" A black man asked puzzledly. "Do you guys even have TVs at home? Washing machines?" A cleaner loudly asked. "Do you guys eat cats and dogs? Thats really cruel! I dont like that!" A white girl hugged the Golden Retriever next to her, worriedly saying, "And, do you really know Kung Fu?" A white young man, somewhat expectantly, gestured twice, referring to what he called the Heavenly Dynastys Kung Fu! "Do you all litter? We dont like that here, and youll get fined." An airport staff member also came over to join the crowd. Liang Lan listened to these comments, although delivered in a very polite tone, but they were all full of slow prejudice against the Heavenly Dynasty, making her feel like crying. She was somewhat at a loss for words. In this situation, the more you explain, the more questions they ask you. Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They even ask you to prove it! Totally unexpected! She knew that most people from the Heavenly Dynasty who came to America in the past chose not to explain! But they can endure it, they cant! Its impossible just to let them talk like this! "Sister Lan, whats wrong, really?" Lu Xiaobu, hearing this incomprehensible chatter, was getting annoyed! "They say we are backward, with no washing machines, no TVs, and so on." Liang Lan said somewhat angrily. Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes, pulled out the Shadow Skill from his bosom, and with a slap, placed it on a table in front of him, without saying a word. The surrounding Americans, hearing the loud noise, immediately turned their heads to look! "Hiss!" Instantly, they all took a sharp breath. "My God, what is this?" "Is this a miniature computer? Or what? Why havent I seen it before?" "Or maybe its an FBI agents tool??" "We should call the police, they might be spies, this thing looks very high-tech!" "Thats right, we should call the police!" "..." A group of Americans, previously thinking themselves as the best in the world, was shocked by a single Shadow Skill! "Country bumpkin, Sister Lan, tell them what this is." Lu Xiaobu sneered. Although he couldnt understand English, seeing their expressions, he could guess. Americans think they are great, can they even imagine todays Heavenly Dynasty? Scare you to death! "This is a cellphone!" Liang Lan, her previous frantic expression instantly swept away, proudly said in English. Young Master always has a way! She had forgotten that, at least in terms of cellphones, the Heavenly Dynasty leads the world! Moreover, since the Shadow Skill has not fully covered the domestic market, the overseas market hasnt been tapped into yet! So, these Americans, they had never seen it! "Cellphone?!" The Americans were immediately astonished. Jack, even more slowly in disbelief, said: "How could it be? Arent cellphones supposed to look like this?" He took out his old brick phone and put it beside the Shadow Skill, looking at the stark difference between the two models and incredulously said, "You dont even have keyboards! How is this a phone?" Liang Lan reached out, unlocked the screen, and the virtual keyboard appeared, proudly saying: "Heres your keyboard." "Hiss!" Jack gasped in astonishment: "Oh my gosh! Does this keyboard work? Can I try it?" "Please feel free." Liang Lan smiled. Let you mock our Heavenly Dynasty, this will scare you to death! With permission, Jack cautiously extended his finger, tapped on the screen. Instantly the number he pressed appeared on the screen! "Oh my gosh!" Jacks eyes widened: "This is actually a keyboard, this touch, unbelievable! Is this really a smartphone?" "Ill correct you, this is called a smartphone!" Liang Lan smiled slightly, immensely proud! Since you Americans endlessly nag us and are full of prejudice against the Heavenly Dynasty, then just be utterly dumbfounded! With one function after another of the smartphone, scare you to death! Chapter 181: Beat You Until You Submit [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Beat You Until You Submit [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu and his entourage were surrounded by Americans who had never seen a Shadow mobile phone before, so they couldnt leave for the time being and simply started a mini Shadow release event! Of course, they also had their own reasons for not wanting to leaveto show these bumpkin Americans a thing or two! As each feature of the Shadow mobile phone was unveiled! The entire hall erupted with various exclamations! "Oh my God! Can a phone even do that?" "Look at that beautiful screen, look at those elegant lines, I feel like Im drunk!" "I cant believe it! Have phones from the Heavenly Dynasty really become this advanced?" "Theres a dedicated APP for every website! This is amazing, if I had one, I wouldnt have to search through web pages all the time! One-click operation!" "Our phone companies have been so smug, claiming to have the worlds most advanced phones!" "Theres a saying in the Heavenly Dynasty, whats it called, a frog in a well, yes, thats it, a frog in a well. Thats us!" "Ive decided to take a trip to the Heavenly Dynasty, if nothing else, to buy a phone!" "..." The crowd was utterly shocked, and in the end, some even wanted to buy it at a high price! "Ill pay ten thousand USD! Please sell me this phone... no, this piece of art!" "Ill offer twenty thousand, twenty thousand USD!" "Give it to me, Im offering thirty thousand USD, and I can exchange it for RMB right now if you want!" "..." And Jack, who had previously thought he was all that, hung his head low, utterly devastated: "Has the Heavenly Dynasty become the most developed country?!" Hearing Jacks words, Liang Lan smiled. Although she knew that what Jack said was wrong, she wasnt going to explain! Anyway, its pretty good if Jack thinks so. "Lets go, lets go!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand impatiently: "This bunch of boors has never even seen a proper phone, and theyre all bluster!" "What did this gentleman say?" The Americans, not understanding Chinese, could only ask Liang Lan! After all, they knew by now that Lu Xiaobu was the creator of the phone and had to be respected! "Our Young Master says, farewell to everyone, Shadow will consider coming to America." Liang Lan craftily avoided telling the truth. "Oh, thank you, thank you, were looking forward to it!" "Thank you, thank you, welcome to America, America welcomes you! And especially welcomes your Shadow!" "..." Lu Xiaobu, listening to the unceasing thanks, was somewhat baffled: "Whats the deal? Do Americans actually like being scolded?!" He was perplexed, wondering why the more he scolded, the happier they got? He had never heard that Americans had this kind of hobby! So, should he insult them a few more times? And so... Lu Xiaobu tentatively said: "NMLGB?" The Americans looked towards Liang Lan. "The Young Master says, farewell to everyone!" Liang Lan said with a straight face. "Goodbye, goodbye!" "Farewell, miraculous people of the Heavenly Dynasty!" "..." The Americans nodded and smiled in response. Lu Xiaobu: "Uh..." "Pfft!" Liang Lan almost burst out laughing, quickly pulling Lu Xiaobu away to leave! Its fun to play around, but things might get out of hand if this continues! The group got into a taxi, heading for the hotel they had booked. "Are you people from Korea or Japan?" As soon as they got in, the driver asked. "Sorry, were from the Heavenly Dynasty!" Liang Lan said helplessly. "Oh, sorry about that, sorry!" The driver apologized inside and then focused on driving. "Whats going on?" Lu Xiaobu was somewhat puzzled. Though he didnt understand everything, he could still understand English when it was about the Heavenly Dynasty. "Theyre asking if were from Korea or Japan." Liang Lan said helplessly, "In America, compared to those from the Heavenly Dynasty, there are more people from Korea and Japan. So many mistake us for being Korean or Japanese! Just like earlier at the airport, one of them even said there are no beauties in the Heavenly Dynasty!" Liang Lan hadnt translated those words for Lu Xiaobu previously, so he was unaware of them. "Motherf*cking bastards!" A furious fire blazed in Lu Xiaobus heart! Damn it! Who the hell do they think theyre looking down on? "Sister Lan, tell the driver to turn around, Im going to smack that bastard!" Lu Xiaobu said angrily! He didnt deny it; he was a hot-blooded nationalist! I can criticize my motherland, but you, you cannot! "Young Master, theyve already left! And Ive already taught them a lesson. Didnt you scold them at the end? I told them what you said was a compliment." Liang Lan quickly grabbed hold of Lu Xiaobu. Nobody here in America recognizes the Young Master; it would be bad if trouble was stirred up! "Fine! Next time, tell me if this happens again!" Lu Xiaobu gave it some thought and felt he had vented some anger! However, he decided that this time he wouldnt keep a low profile! Not that he ever had before! Look down on people from the Heavenly Dynasty?! Ill show you what a person from the Heavenly Dynasty is capable of! Ill thrash you in every way! Not convinced?! Ill beat you till you are! Arriving at the hotel, everyone washed up and rested for a bit. While they rested, Liang Lan began to gather information in the hotel! Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated! But this was not something that could be figured out in just an afternoon, so it was In the evening, to grab dinner, the group made their way to Chinatown. Lu Xiaobu didnt want to pretend to be all high and mighty just to eat Western food! Although many Western dishes indeed taste good. But the portions of most Western dishes cant keep up; they go for high-calorie foods, and most of their staples are potatoes. Therefore, Lu Xiaobu still preferred Chinese food! Arrived in Chinatown! They found a restaurant that seemed quite good, mainly because it smelled good, and the group walked in. Most of the diners here were of Asian descent, and it was hard to tell which country they were from without listening closely to the conversation. "Boss, lets have some dishes." Lu Xiaobu spoke to the restaurant owner, who was from the Heavenly Dynasty. "Are you folks from the mainland?" The owner burst into joy when he heard Mandarin and hurried over. Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes, just arrived today, starving." Lu Xiaobu, on hearing someone finally speaking Mandarin, was overjoyed! Really, the old saying that "meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land is one of lifes great joys" is true. Just having arrived for half a day, Lu Xiaobu felt incredibly fond of hearing Mandarin! "Wait up, wait up, Ill prepare some specialty dishes for you." The owner, receiving a definite answer, was over the moon. "But there are ready-made dishes over there." Lu Xiaobu pointed to some dishes on the counter. "Those, those are for foreigners, theyre American-style Chinese food!" The owner laughed, "Look at that orange chicken, we dont have that dish in the Heavenly Dynasty!" "Indeed." Lu Xiaobu pursed his lips, looking at the overly sweet dishes with distaste! They were just chatting when suddenly, A bunch of white people barged in: "Wheres the boss? Come out!" Then, with a backhand, they flipped over a table! Lu Xiaobus face instantly dropped! Damn it, is this the first one asking for a beating?! Chapter 182: I am faster than you, understand【Extra rewards for the Butterfly Fragrance】 Chapter 182: Chapter 182: I am faster than you, understandExtra rewards for the Butterfly Fragrance"Li Jin!" Lu Xiaobus face darkened as he shouted. Just met an old acquaintance, and this is what I get! Bullying people from the Heavenly Dynasty!? "Yes!" Li Jin immediately stood up, protecting Lu Xiaobu, facing the white men. But, to tell the truth, although it wasnt timely, he was very happy about it. After all, at times like this in the past, it was alwaysZhang Meng, right! Look today, Li Jin! Awesome! Cough cough, no, no, the enemy is in front of us, cant think too much. "Dont dont dont!" The owner hastily intervened, then he said to the white men in English: "Dont get mad, everything is ready." While speaking, he took out a wad of money and respectfully handed it over. "Okay." The white man took the wad of US dollars, nodded with satisfaction, and even uttered a phrase in the national language of the Heavenly Dynasty: "You know your place!" Lu Xiaobus face contorted, stretching incredibly long. But the restaurant owner kept holding onto Lu Xiaobu, preventing him from lashing out: "Brother! I dont know who you are, but I beg you to consider for me that I might run, but the temple cant. You guys will leave after a couple of days, but my entire familys livelihood is tied to this place. If its gone, what will my family do?" "You mean, these foreigners bully our people from the Heavenly Dynasty daily?" Although Lu Xiaobu understood the owner was right, he couldnt suppress his anger: "Doesnt our people from the Heavenly Dynasty have any gang?" He had seen in movies and TV shows before, while people from his nation were relatively bullied abroad, it seemed that overseas, people from his nation had some kind of gang, which was quite good. "It seems you really are in America for the first time. They are people from the Huaqing Gang!" The owner gave a bitter smile: "The gang you mentioned of our people from the Heavenly Dynasty. They came to collect protection money." "Huaqing Gang? Our gang from the Heavenly Dynasty? And now there are foreigners bullying our people from the Heavenly Dynasty through involvement?" Explaining made Lu Xiaobus expression even worse! Since its a gang of people from the Heavenly Dynasty, how could they join with foreigners to bully the people from the Heavenly Dynasty? He couldnt stand this! "Kid, dont meddle in other peoples business, just eat your meal." The white man gave Lu Xiaobu a look and continued in the language of the Heavenly Dynasty. These are the few phrases of the national language he knew! Although he didnt understand the conversation between Lu Xiaobu and the owner just now, he could pretty much tell from their expressions! After dropping that sentence, the white man was about to leave. However... An unintentional glance back made him notice Zhou Jingyuan! Seeing Zhou Jingyuans striking figure, his eyes immediately lit up, revealing a lewd gaze! He slowly walked over, greedily reaching out to grab Zhou Jingyuans hand: "Hey, girl, wanna have some fun?" "Move!" Lu Xiaobus voice was icy. "Yes!" Li Jin shouted deeply. Just as his arm raised, in the blink of an eye, it was pressed under the chin of the white man, forward, upward, the first push! "Bang!" With a loud noise, the white man, who was at least a head taller than Li Jin, was flipped 90 degrees by Li Jin and slammed heavily on the ground! Everyone around was startled! "Sss! OMG!" "Heavenly Dynasty Kung Fu?!" "My God, how is that possible? How can such a frail person from the Heavenly Dynasty be so powerful?" "Could it be that people from the Heavenly Dynasty really know Kung Fu?!" "..." Americans yelled around, but the face of the restaurant owner turned extremely ugly. He was done for! Originally, he saw someone from his home country and wanted everyone to chat. But he never expected this guy to be such a big shot! He just started hitting people directly! After hitting people, this old man patted his butt and left, what about him?! At this moment, he felt the urge to curse out loud. "Sister Lan, give the boss ten million, let him cook well, and after cooking, he should go back to the country to develop, its better there now." Lu Xiaobu, of course, didnt forget about the boss and arranged it with Liang Lan. "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan immediately took out a checkbook, wrote a check for ten million, and handed it to the boss: "Now we own this restaurant." "Ah?! What!" The boss was completely shocked! Whats going on? Ten million?! A meal costing ten million? The net worth of his entire family isnt even worth ten million! Damn, this is not just an old man, but a true god! "Go and cook." Lu Xiaobu reminded again. "Thank you, thank you, Young Master!" The boss immediately snapped back to reality, ran happily to the kitchen to get busy! With this ten million, why would he still run a restaurant in America! Just as this Young Master said, its much better to develop back in the country! Meanwhile, the white man who was pinned to the ground was completely infuriated, cursing nonstop, but because his jaw was restrained, he couldnt really say anything! His other lackeys had also come to their senses by now, each looking ferocious! This is where you can really see the difference between abroad and back home! If it were street thugs in our homeland, at most they would pull out knives, iron bars, bike chains, and the like! But here! The thugs were reaching forguns! But... They wanted to pull out guns, someone was faster than them! Li Jin narrowed his eyes, his right hand still restraining the white man, his left hand quickly pulled out a handgun from the white mans waist! He single-handedly turned off the safety, pulled the slide, the whole set of actions fluid in one go. While these lackeys hadnt even managed to pull out their guns. Li Jins gun was already aimed at them. And Li Jin even showed off some English: "Im faster than you. Do you know?!" Seeing the dark muzzle, those lackeys didnt dare to make a move anymore, breaking out in cold sweat, completely immobilized! Just then, the boss had finished cooking the first dish, carefully placing it in front of Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master, please taste, is it to your liking?" "Um, not bad." Lu Xiaobu took a bite and praised. "Thank you for the compliment, Young Master." The boss quickly nodded and then continued towards the kitchen. He took a couple of steps, still couldnt help but look back at Lu Xiaobu and his group. You must know that Heavenly Dynasty doesnt compare to America where guns are rampant, guns are much rarer in Heavenly Dynasty. If an ordinary person from Heavenly Dynasty saw guns in America, they would instinctively be frightened! Yet this guy, no, this Young Master, didnt care at all. Just eating and drinking. Completely indifferent. sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. You should know that each of the people behind him had a gun. If any of the bodyguards made a slight mistake, he would be a living target! This demeanor of walking leisurely among armies! Um, theres some majesty in that! While the boss was cooking, the group of Lu Xiaobu ate and drank, Li Jin controlled the whole situation. After eating and drinking their fill, watching the boss leave. Lu Xiaobu then stood up, looking at the thug leader on the ground and said: "Come on, take me to your boss! I have a few questions I want to ask him!" Chapter 183: Why do I like this behavior of yours so much! [Please favorite, please recommend] Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Why do I like this behavior of yours so much! [Please favorite, please recommend]Lu Xiaobu is off to meet with the boss of the Huaqing Gang in America. Someone cant help but ask, is Lu Xiaobu really just going like that? Youve got to understand, among his group theres only Li Jin... oh, plus Lu Xiaobu, thats one and a half fighters! Of course... not! Lu Xiaobu isnt foolish. So, the first thing to do is buy guns. Well, dont think this task is too difficult; in the Heavenly Dynasty, its like climbing to heaven, but in America... well, supermarkets sell them! Even though theres a series of reviews, checks, bans and so on! But thousands of years ago, our ancestors from the Heavenly Dynasty already told usmoney makes the devil push the millstone! Not only that, Lu Xiaobu had the system prepare a few Shields, but not to buy, just to keep on hand until the critical moment. So much so that the system kept nagging that Lu Xiaobu was tricking him! After all preparations were made, Lu Xiaobu let that white thug take him to the headquarters of the Huaqing Gang. ... This is a huge warehouse that looks like a temporary gathering spot, not exactly a real headquarters. Besides, both sides of the warehouse were already filled with Asian men in black suits. It seems they knew they were coming! Lu Xiaobu wasnt surprised at all; for such a big gang, if they didnt even have this much skill, that would be too incompetent! "Young Master Lu, please, our boss is waiting for you." A person whose accent is clearly Chinese made a welcoming gesture! Hearing the address Young Master Lu, Lu Xiaobus lips slightly curled up! This is telling himwe know who you are! Interesting! "Lead the way." Lu Xiaobu nodded. The group walked inside from the entrance, without any weapons search or anything. Clearly, they have absolute confidence in their own strength, deliberately showing off their power! Telling Lu Xiaobuweve got you figured out! Walking into the warehouse. What met their eyes was a huge boxing ring. There were people sparring on it. And below the ring were rows of punching bags, with big muscled men huffing and puffing as they punched, making the bags bang loudly! At the far end of the warehouse was a gallows-like platform that had been repurposed. On top sat a middle-aged man with his arms open, holding a blonde beauty and drinking red wine. As soon as he saw Lu Xiaobu come in. The middle-aged man immediately stood up, smiling: "Oh, welcome Young Master Lu to America! Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Yan Honghai, the Sect Leader of Wei Gate." Li Jin explained to Lu Xiaobu in a low voice: "The Gates of the Huaqing Gang are their ranks. The names of the Gates are mostly named after Dynasties from the Heavenly Dynasty, like Qin Gate, Shu Gate, and so on." "Of course, in modern times, many newcomers are unaware of the history of the Heavenly Dynasty, so there are some odd names like coco Gate. This Wei Gate appears to be one from the older generation." Hearing the explanation, Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Theres no need to introduce my identity, you should have researched it thoroughly already." "Of course, Young Master Lu is currently well-known in the Heavenly Dynasty! Just a casual search brings up plenty of news." Yan Honghai said half seriously, half exaggeratedly, and then extended an invitation: "How about coming up for a drink together?" This Yan Honghai is really showing off his power at every moment! Making it crystal clear to Lu Xiaobu! I know who you are, I know you have weapons, but I am fearless! Im not only unafraid, Im inviting you to come face-to-face with me! I dare to invite you, do you dare to come up? "Sure!" Lu Xiaobu laughed! Challenging me?! Bring it on! Lu Xiaobu, accompanied by three women and Li Jin, boldly walked up the stairs to the platform. "Sorry, you cant come up." One of the bodyguards at the platform entrance suddenly stretched out his hand towards Li Jin. That hand seemed to be stopping him, but was covertly filled with a gust of Power, clearly with ill intent. Yan Honghai, standing on the platform, made no sign of reacting, as if nothing had happened at all. If it wasnt for his orders, how would his subordinate dare to make a move? He looked at Lu Xiaobu; he wanted to see how this Young Master Lu would handle this. However... A scene that made his pupils widen occurred! Lu Xiaobu, without a word or a sign of anger, continued to walk forward. Li Jin was even more oblivious to the bodyguards attack, following right behind him. The bodyguard, seeing himself being ignored, a hint of rage flashed in his eyes, and he put even more strength into his hands! Thump A muffled sound. The bodyguards punch landed solidly on Li Jins body. His hand was numbed from the impact. However, Li Jin... Didnt budge an inch! Not even a slight shake in Li Jins footsteps occurred. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Li Jin turned his head to the bodyguard, bared his teeth in a grin like a wild beast turning back, and, without uttering a word, his aura grew even more imposing! How could the defense of the Green Emperor Longevity Technique be breached by people like this? "What comes around goes around." Lu Xiaobu stated indifferently. "Yes." Li Jin accepted the command! He turned around, drew back his fist, advanced a step, and shot out like a cannon! His punch brutally smashed into the bodyguards body! Thump The bodyguard was sent flying through the air, his face almost contorted together, eyes rolling white. He crashed heavily onto the stage, interrupting the fight between two others. Meanwhile, Li Jin didnt stop his movements. His hand quickly reached for his waist, drawing a gun in hand, then stepped slightly to the left, shielding Young Master Lu from the view of people behind him while also aiming at Yan Honghai! And at this moment! "Click!" Only then did the black-clothed men at the scene all draw their guns, pointing them at Lu Xiaobu and his company! However... Even though they were numerous and better armed. Now, the control of the situation had fallen into Lu Xiaobus hands. "Put them down, Young Master Lu is our guest; whats all this?!" Yan Honghai, with a gun aimed at him, remained unflustered and ordered his men to lower their weapons. His men glanced at each other and finally had no choice but to lower their weapons! They had lost! Even if they were just one second behind, or even just a fraction of a second, they had indeed lost! Unless they were prepared to forfeit Yan Honghais life, the opponents draw was surely faster than theirs! "Young Master Lu?!" Yan Honghai looked at Lu Xiaobu and asked, "Ive told my men to back off, so..." Even with his calm demeanor, truth be told, it was impossible not to feel nervous with a gun pointed at him. "What should I look at? Didnt you invite me to drink? So lets drink!" Lu Xiaobu did not respond directly, continuing to move upward. And Li Jin was aiming at Yan Honghais head at all times. Any sudden move, and hed be shot on the spot! Yan Honghais complexion instantly darkened. This Lu Xiaobu, unexpectedly not playing by the rules! Dammit, miscalculated! Shit, originally thought it was like a sheep entering a tigers den, turns out its a freaking winged dragon that flies, motherfu! Pretended to be too cool, ended up looking like a damn fool! Lu Xiaobu, seeing Yan Honghais displeased face, felt very pleased! Playing with him?! He got the opportunity and you think you can reset and both return to the start? What a joke!? Hes not like Yan Honghai, those who pretend to be the big bad wolf! Yan Honghai, didnt you say no weapon checks? And you investigated me?! And showed off your muscles?! And invited me for a drink?! Face to face?! And tested me?! Come on, show me another muscle of yours. How do I just love so much, this kind of behavior where you seek face over life! Now isnt this nice, very delightful! Chapter 184 Understanding Lu Xiaobu [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Understanding Lu Xiaobu [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Lu Xiaobu walked over and sat opposite Yan Honghai, crossing his arms as he looked straight at him: "Please, what are you standing there for?" With a casual remark, he declared a reversal of host and guest. At this moment, it was Lu Xiaobu who called the shots. Yan Honghais face was ashen with rage as he glared at Lu Xiaobu, his anger bursting forth: "Lu Xiaobu, arent you going too far?! This is America, not the Heavenly Dynasty, do you really dare to do something to me..." "Left ear." Lu Xiaobu picked up a glass of red wine to examine. Li Jins fingers twitched slightly. "Bang!" A flash of gunfire. Followed by a scream. "Ah!" Yan Honghai clutched his left ear, the pain was excruciating! But the pain in his ear was nothing compared to the panic in his heart! Lu Xiaobu actually dared to make a move?! This was in America, on his turf, even under the barrel of his gun, and the other party actually fired! Who among them is the real desperado? Is this Lu Xiaobu not a spoiled rich kid, but rather a wealthy second-generation? Why take such a risk?! What frightened him even more was the bodyguards marksmanship. As soon as Lu Xiaobu finished speaking, it was indeed right after he finished. The bodyguard fired on the spot without hesitation, and yet with incredible precision! Say left ear, then its the left ear! He knew, this time Lu Xiaobu was flexing his muscles. Telling him none of this was a joke, his life was no longer in his control, in less than a second, his head could roll! And at that moment, his underlings, hearing the gunshot, all grew tense and immediately drew their guns. But Yan Honghai saw very clearly, Li Jins trigger had been pulled to the limit. With just a little more pressure, pull the trigger, and his head would be gone! "Dont! Everyone stop! All of you, get the hell out!" Yan Honghai stood up, clutching his ear and roared! He realized, since he was at the mercy of others, his life laid out on the chopping board, he might as well be bold. After all, he guessed Lu Xiaobu wasnt there to take his life, since they had no major grudges. Besides, under these circumstances, what difference did it make whether his dumb underlings were close by or at the door? "Boss?!" The underlings didnt understand: "He has only one gun! We could shoot him into a sieve!" "Motherf*cker, do you want me dead? Are you trying to take over as boss?" Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Yan Honghai was so angry, he almost drew his own gun to shoot that nonsensical underling! He was kicking himself now! Dammit, as a person from the Heavenly Dynasty, he shouldnt have copied the Americans in this muscle-flexing business. Now look at him; his attempted show of strength has backfired! What was initially absolute control, had turned into him being the fish on the chopping block! Had he known, he should have listened to the wisdom of our ancestors, to keep quiet and make a fortune, to strike first! When Lu Xiaobu arrived, he should have been disarmed, tied up, and then they could have talked! Dammit, ancestors, I was wrong, I know I was wrong! All the underlings kept their distance! Now only Lu Xiaobu, his few people, and Yan Honghai remained. "Young Master Lu, can we talk properly now?" Yan Honghai said, with unbearable pain in his ear. "Yes, we can always talk." Lu Xiaobu shrugged nonchalantly. "Okay then, may I ask why Young Master Lu sought me out? If I, Yan Honghai, have offended in any manner, I offer my apologies to Young Master Lu right now!" Yan Honghai said sincerely. "Actually, its nothing much, just wanted to know, since youre a man of the Heavenly Dynasty and with the Huaqing Gang, why bully our own people from the Heavenly Dynasty?" Lu Xiaobu asked, "I was just having a meal, yet I see Americans extorting our people from the Heavenly Dynasty, whats the meaning of this?!" "Uh..." Yan Honghai fell silent! His heart was raging, he wanted to scream. For this trivial matter?! Just for this?! Because of this, a gun was pointed at his head, because of this, he lost an ear?! He trembled as he spoke, "Young Master Lu, what do you think we should do?!" "Actually, I know that you too need to survive and need money. Its reasonable for you to collect protection fees for protecting the people of the Heavenly Dynasty, but next time, can we have someone from the Heavenly Dynasty do the collecting? Itll feel more comfortable to watch, right?" Lu Xiaobu said with understanding and reasonableness. "Yes! Ill follow Young Master Lus orders!" Yan Honghai said through gritted teeth! Tears were almost appearing in his eyes! This was the most humiliating moment of his life, bar none! If it had been over something like revenge for murder or stealing a livelihood, he would have accepted it! But! But! Just freaking for such a matter, just to change the person collecting the protection fees! He had been turned into this wretched state! If you had said so earlier, not to mention changing the person to collect protection fees, I would have paid the fees myself! The humiliation in his heart was simply beyond words! Its like when youre heading home and suddenly a few big men pin you down and stab you several times, blood everywhere, and just when you wonder why youve offended someone, the big men tell youfreaking stop littering or well kill you next time! I want to ask you, what do you feel in your heart at this moment?! Isnt it a pain? Makes you want to kill someone! "Alright, lets leave it at that." Lu Xiaobu stood up, stretched lazily, then paused and said to the system, "System, get me some Immortal Beans, the inferior ones will do." "What are you doing?" The system was quite reluctant and muttered, "You made me get you a Shield, and you havent paid for it yet; its on credit! Now you want Immortal Beans." "Stop with the nonsense. When I have bought a gaming company, Ill pay you, okay?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "Am I short on your tiny bit of money?" "Fine, fine," the system relented reluctantly. "But, you cant have Immortal Beans on credit!" Soon after, the inferior Immortal Beans that had been mentioned before arrived in Lu Xiaobus hands! "Is this all? Just five beans?" Lu Xiaobu said somewhat dissatisfied. "You think theyre cabbages? Getting five is already good, Ive deducted the money! Three million!" the system said. "Stingy, no wonder you have no dick!" Lu Xiaobu scoffed as he spoke. System: "..." Hey, is there anyone who does beatings on call? Anyone accepting jobs? How much to beat this bastard to death? Holding the Immortal Beans, Lu Xiaobu addressed the disheartened Yan Honghai, "Come on, open your mouth, Ive got something good for you." "Ah?" Yan Honghai was taken aback, unable to react in time. Lu Xiaobu directly tossed an Immortal Bean into his mouth. To strike with a stick and then offer a sweet date, having such strength can play a significant role when I want to raise our countrys prestige in America! "Cough cough cough, ack!" Yan Honghai began to vomit violently. What was this? Was it poison? Suddenly, his body broke out in a cold sweat! He was terrified beyond measure! Lu Xiaobu, didnt we settle things?! Although I had plans for a reckoning after the autumn harvest, I havent carried them out yet! Are you really going for the kill? However... Just a few seconds later, he realized something was wrong! His ear wasnt hurting anymore?! He reached out to touch it... Hiss! The ear... its healed?! What the hell! What happened!? He immediately thought of what Lu Xiaobu had just fed him, and his whole person was in shock! Could this freaking be Divine Medicine? Healing the living dead, flesh regenerating from bones?! In a flash! A sentence suddenly overwhelmed his thoughts... Hey, is there anyone who does beatings on call? How much to beat this excerpt-stealing dog to death? Chapter 185 Remember to Give a 5-Star Review [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Remember to Give a 5-Star Review [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Having personally experienced the magic of the Immortal Bean, Yan Honghai suddenly had an intense ideahe had to get at least one more! As someone who deals with life-and-death situations daily, he deeply craved such a life-saving object! Just like Zhang Benhu of Shimen once did! "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, please walk slowly." Yan Honghai quickly took a few steps forward, scratching his head as he spoke. "Oh, no need to see me off." Lu Xiaobu nodded and continued walking forward. "Uh..." Yan Honghai was startled, feeling like crying but having no tears! Young Master Lu, when I said walk slowly, I didnt mean literally... Forget it, I cant even explain it properly now! "Young Master Lu, please wait a moment." Yan Honghai finally found the right words! "Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu popped an Immortal Bean into his mouth and turned back to ask, "Still the familiar taste, not bad." "Hiss!" Seeing Lu Xiaobus casual action, Yan Honghai felt his heart cramp violently! Young Master Lu, I now seem to understand how you got the reputation of a prodigal son! Just because youve just consumed a life! Whoever dares to say youre not a prodigal, I will fight them to the death! "Exactly, could you maybe give me another one of those, Im willing to pay the price!" Yan Honghai hurriedly said. "This one?" Lu Xiaobu pointed at the Immortal Bean in his hand. "Yes, yes." Yan Honghai quickly nodded. "Depends on my mood, maybe when I leave America, I might leave one for you." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand indifferently and strode out. Watching Lu Xiaobus retreating figure, a murderous intent suddenly started swirling in Yan Honghais eyes. He was contemplating the likelihood of killing for treasure! Forget about repaying kindness with ingratitude! When interests are at stake, who cares about that! Besides, it was Lu Xiaobu who had damaged his ear to begin with! Reason and desire constantly battled in Yan Honghais mind. Was it better to protect and serve Lu Xiaobu, hoping he would reward him with a bean? Or to kill for treasure now, seizing everything left? To be honest, he leaned towards the latter! He had thought it through, as long as he stayed out of the bodyguards attack range, he could completely take control again and seize it! His smile grew increasingly bloodthirsty. He could already see the treasure beckoning him! "Oh, I forgot to tell you, this thing is a bit poisonous, but its nothing, just that if you dont get my antidote within three days, your organs will all rot, thats all." Lu Xiaobu yawned lightly as he spoke. "Shush!" All of a sudden, Yan Honghai felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him. Instantly, his greed and bloodlust disappeared without a trace! Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Poisonous!? And causing all organs to rot! If anyone else had said it, he would have thought it was nonsense! But he had no choice but to believe Lu Xiaobus words. Given that he had such Divine Medicine, it seemed not so strange it could be poisonous! So... "Young Master Lu, walk slowly! Come and visit often!" In an instant, Yan Honghai turned into a fervent host, enthusiastically saying. After Lu Xiaobu left, Yan Honghai immediately called an emergency meeting! "Listen up, dont do anything else these few days, just hit the streets and ensure Lu Xiaobus safety!" "He eats, you watch. He sits, you stand. He sleeps, you stay awake." "If he catches a cold, I want a finger from each of you. If something happens to him, I want a leg from each of you!" "Warning other gangs, anyone who dares to harm Lu Xiaobu, my Huaqing Gang will fight them to the death!" Yan Honghai issued the orders with fiery eyes! For his life, for his benefits, he had to dutifully protect Lu Xiaobu! ... Then, Lu Xiaobus life, which was almost more comfortable than back home, began. "Hey, yellow dog!" A racist white man pointed and cursed at Lu Xiaobu. Li Jin hadnt even lifted a hand yet! Swoosh! Over thirty members of the Huaqing Gang burst out from the streets, dragging that racist white guy off to chat about life. ... A homeless person had his eye on Lu Xiaobu and his group, thinking about stealing something! Whoosh! Two black-clad men from the Huaqing Gang took the homeless man away to discuss tomorrows breakfast! ... "This is 500 US dollars! Pay up, or Ill call the police!" A vendor, trying to scam foreigners, fiercely threatened Lu Xiaobu and his group with a sandwich. Well, one minute later... "Here is 1000 US dollars, please do accept it!" The vendor, face bruised and with two knives at his neck, insisted on giving the money to Lu Xiaobu. "I give it to you guys, have fun with it." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand indifferently and gave it to those few black-clad men! "Thank you, Young Master Lu!" The black-clad men immediately burst into joy; one thousand US dollars, wow! Young Master Lu is really generous! ... "Young Master, I want to buy a bag." Liang Lan said to Lu Xiaobu. "Go ahead, all of you go, its not every day we come to America, not buying something wouldnt be right." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, shopping was trivial to him. "Oh yeah!" The three girls immediately cheered. Shopping is in the nature of girls; they had been holding back all this time, just not wanting to bother Lu Xiaobu. After all, Li Jin was the only male; they could easily get into trouble if they scattered. But now everything was fine; with the Huaqing Gang temporarily under Lu Xiaobus control, safety was guaranteed, and there was nothing to worry about. Some may ask, what about the money? Come on, the person asking that, step forward, see clearly who youre asking this question! This is the spendthrift, Lu Xiaobu! Any more questions? Hes gone silent, I guess thats a no, or maybe hes been taken away by the Huaqing Gang to discuss life! Oh, I forgot to mention that besides Liang Lan, the other two girls also secretly came over, probably not wanting to stay alone or not wanting to leave Liang Lan alone with Lu Xiaobu, cough cough! The three girls rushed into the big store and began a shopping spree! "This, this, this!" "And that, that, this!" ... No room to carry? No worries. The Huaqing Gang not only provides bodyguard services, life discussions, and rough handling services but also offers package carrying, tea serving, and a lot more. Theres nothing we cant do. Huaqing Gang, our service, guaranteed to satisfy! Dear, dont forget a five-star rating! ... "Huh!" Escorted by the Huaqing Gang to the hotel, the three girls let out a comfortable shriek! "Comfortable, shopping today was truly comfortable, havent felt this good in a long time. Young Master really solved the biggest safety issue with ease." Liang Lan stretched lazily, speaking joyfully. Back home, she was so busy all the time, she never had time to shop properly. "Hee hee, bought so many clothes today, all so pretty!" Wu Qianmin hugged Lu Xiaobu, jumping joyously! Only Zhou Jingyuan touched her chin and smiled, "Should we have Xiaobu try on some womens clothes?" This spicy girl, ever since the Golden Fire Award, couldnt forget about making Lu Xiaobu wear womens clothes! Li Jin though had some complaints: "Finally away from the supervisors, its my turn to shine, and along comes the Huaqing Gang!" "Sister Lan, write a check of a million for the brothers of the Huaqing Gang, theyve been with us all day, let the brothers have their fun." Lu Xiaobu said, yawning. "Thank you, Young Master Lu!" The people from the Huaqing Gang instantly beamed with joy. Young Master Lu is so generous, earning this tip made them too happy! A sharp little brother thought and suddenly said: "Young Master Bu, for generations unending, reigning over Jianghu!" "Hey! Another million!" Lu Xiaobu immediately laughed. Not bad! This slogan has even made its way overseas! "Young Master Bu, for generations unending, reigning over Jianghu!" "Young Master Bu, for generations unending, reigning over Jianghu!" The Huaqing Gang people were ecstatic! Chapter 187: Bring One, I’ll Fight One [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Bring One, Ill Fight One [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Liang Lan knew that Lu Xiaobu was angry and was preparing to thrash Mechanical Company, so she didnt dare say much and immediately went to handle the paperwork with Green! Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu was talking to the system. "System, give me the stuff," Lu Xiaobu demanded. "Okay, Ive prepared everything for 1 billion," the system quoted. "Damn it, are you trying to rip me off?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow. "No, really not," the system quickly explained: "If you just want the initial data, of course its cheap! But, you need to know that what Ive prepared for you is the complete set of data!" "From beginning to end, from the earliest structure of LOL to all the current data. Every data point, every character, every hero has been prepared for you, absolutely complete data." "In that case, it makes sense." Lu Xiaobu nodded, understanding. With that being said, not only is the price not expensive, but its actually quite cheap. Considering the current situation on Earth, selling this complete set of data would fetch far more than ten billion! Money exchanged, goods delivered. The complete set of data reached Lu Xiaobus hands. "Cough, cough, cough, I also slyly took the money for the Shield. The Shield is in your hands now!" the system said awkwardly: "You know, Im broke." "Alright, alright, look at you being so sneaky," Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. Heavenly Dynasty folks buying out an American company isnt easy, there are lots of procedures to handle, and even intervention by American authorities, deliberately creating trouble. Fortunately, because the company is newly established and not highly regarded, the troubles werent too great, but it still couldnt be done in a short time. While the paperwork was being processed here. A challenge from Mechanical Gaming Company arrived. American media gladly exaggerated the news. "Heavenly Dynasty Acquires American Gaming Company, Faces Off Against Mechanical Gaming Company on The Arena" "Provocation from the East, Are They Blind?" "Where Does the Confidence of the Heavenly Dynasty People Come From?" "Can Their Kung Fu Also Save Their Games?" "The Shenanigans of a Prodigal Son" "Poor Heavenly Dynasty, Placing Glory on a Prodigal Son" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... All the news was uniformly biased. No one was optimistic about Lu Xiaobu, no one thought the Heavenly Dynasty people could make good games. Everyone thought they had already won. "Oh my God, whats with this Heavenly Dynasty person? Daring to challenge the Mechanical Company, although theyre trash too, but its not like the Heavenly Dynasty people can challenge them!" "I wonder, why would a black sheep have so much confidence?" "Could it be, they want to use their Kung Fu to conquer us in the game? I think its absurd!" "Oh, I cant wait to see the Heavenly Dynasty people scurrying back to their country." "I never looked forward to games made by Mechanical Company before, too mediocre, but this time, Im excited." "Mechanical Company played a good card, using the Heavenly Dynasty people to gain more attention, great planning!" "..." American social networks were filled with similar language. Not only that, Lu Xiaobu even received an invitation from an American talk showThe Henry Show, inviting him to participate in the latest live episode. "Young Master, this is the invitation from The Henry Show. This talk show is famous for its sharp tongue; they mock the American President in almost every episode. The questions asked are usually very sharp. Seems like theyre up to no good!" Liang Lan worriedly said. "Xiaobu, we shouldnt go then! They dont spare even the American President, how could they spare you!?" Wu Qianmin tensed up as soon as she heard it. "Especially since your English isnt good, its easy to be bullied without being able to retort!" Zhou Jingyuan also worried, she didnt want to see Lu Xiaobu humiliated. "Are they not going to provide a translator?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Young Master, The Henry Show isnt that formal." Seeing Lu Xiaobu inclined to go, Liang Lan quickly advised: "They dared to invite you at this juncture, obviously with the intention to humiliate you! How could they arrange a good translator for you? If they curse, but the translator tells you nice things, that would be bad!" "Also, Ive watched The Henry Show a few times. The questions posed by the host are really sharpracial issues, cultural issues, all kinds of stuff. Their purpose is to make the guest uncomfortable. We really dont need to go," Zhou Jingyuan also advised on the side. But Lu Xiaobus face was stern: "Can we just not go now?" While saying this, Lu Xiaobu showed a webpage translated by a translation software on the computer to the three women. It was clearly the official forum of The Henry Show. The Henry Show: "We have invited the prodigal son Lu Xiaobu to our program to discuss where their confidence comes from. Please look forward to it, and feel free to raise any questions you have, we will consider them." First comment: "Why are you so sure they will come?" Second comment: "Yeah, if they dont go, you cant force them to go, right?" "..." The Henry Show: "No matter, coming or not, its all the same, in the worst case we just find any Heavenly Dynasty person, they all look alike anyway, we can mock them all the same." "Haha, your Henry Show is still so shameless, I love it." "Yeah, just give those yellow monkeys a good humiliating, daring to be so arrogant!" "..." The Henry Show: "Do you think we should prepare a segment to have them showcase their so-called Heavenly Dynasty Kung Fu?" "I think we should, with their tiny arms and legs, can they really fight?" "Todays The Henry Show, a must-watch! Feels great!" "..." Seeing these unabashed shameless remarks, the three women were furious! "This is clearly just bullying! Cant we just not go?" Wu Qianmin fumed. "I want to curse them!" Zhou Jingyuan pulled out the keyboard and began furiously typing and cursing! "Then Young Master, Ill go with you." Liang Lan gritted her teeth: "With me there, they wont dare to bully you with the translator!" "I guess they wont let you in." Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed: "I can go alone. What, looking for a challenge? Bring it on! Whos afraid!" His rebellious soul began to roar! Sharp tongue? Looking down on Heavenly Dynasty people? Although I can wait for LOL to come out and collectively slap your faces! But, sorry, I dont want to wait! Bring one, I fight one! Chapter 188 Tongue Blossoms into a Lotus [Seeking Favorites, Seeking Recommendations] Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Tongue Blossoms into a Lotus [Seeking Favorites, Seeking Recommendations]"System, I want something for translation, what Im looking for is precision translation, and I dont mind spending more money on it," Lu Xiaobu told the system. "How precise?" The system was a bit confused! "Accurate enough that if I quoted Tao Te Ching, saying The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao, they must understand what I mean," Lu Xiaobu was determined. "Come on!" The system was totally bewildered: "Not to mention them, even in Heavenly Dynasty, how many people truly understand these lines?" "What do you care? Just do it," Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Then Ill ask one more thing out of sheer curiosity, what do you need this for?" the system couldnt resist asking. "To curse at people! Whats the fun if they dont understand? Our national curses are classic. It would be a pity if they didnt get it," Xiaobu said matter-of-factly: "It would be a shame if they didnt get it." The system: "I... I need a moment of silence, and dont ask who Silence is. Regardless of who she is, just tell her I miss her!" ... Soon after, the system returned, painfully handing Lu Xiaobu a snow-white lotus flower: "Three hundred million." "Whats worth three hundred million?" Lu Xiaobu was stunned. "Tongue Blossoming Lotus, a miraculous lotus flower consumed by the great beings of a plane before lecturing. Upon ingestion, you can communicate with All Realm Creatures for an hour, everyone who hears you will understand your thoughts and intentions, and you can also understand others," explained the system: "The great beings of that plane use this lotus to enlighten all beings; its considered a meritorious object of great virtue!" "Nice! Now I can really enjoy cursing!" Lu Xiaobu showed a satisfied smile. "Ah, I just wonder if those great beings of that plane would fly over to strangle us personally if they knew youre using this virtuous object meant for preaching, for cursing," the system sighed and said with a painful expression. Lu Xiaobu is using what others would to enlighten all beings to swear profusely! Its not just like using a cleaver to kill a chicken, its like using the Xuanyuan Sword to kill a mosquito! Even him, being a prodigal system, couldnt help but think - damn wasteful! ... Now that everything was prepared, Lu Xiaobu went to the television studio under the worried gazes of the three women, and he walked in. "Oh, you must be Lu Xiaobu, welcome, welcome!" A staff member greeted him cordially, but his playful expression was unmistakable. Lu Xiaobu had not eaten the lotus yet, so he had no idea what kind of bird language this guy was speaking. Seeing Lu Xiaobus expression, the staff members playful expression intensified! And then, just as they had speculated, Liang Lan and Li Jin were stopped at the entrance of the studio, they only allowed Lu Xiaobu to enter alone. And as Lu Xiaobu was entering, that staff member gestured to the host of "Henry Speaks" C Henry, clearly giving some kind of signal! Both Henry and the host showed a smug, assured smile. "What gesture are you making?" Liang Lan immediately chastised, not holding back the anger on her face. They are still here, isnt it obvious? "Nothing special! I was just signaling to the host that our guest has arrived," Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. the staff member said with disdain, obviously insincere. It was obvious to anyone that he was lying. "You!" Liang Lan was so furious that she almost had Li Jin start a fight! But considering that if they started a fight now, whatever plans the Young Master had would fall through, she could only bear it. She coldly looked at the staff member: "Youll soon realize who youve messed with!" "Oh, Im waiting!" The staff member, with a flippant smile, made it clear! Under Henrys trouble-making, not one person could easily leave through this door! ... In the studio, there was a sofa, a host, a translator, and the Mechanical CompanysSmithwhom they had just met not long ago! Everything was so well-prepared, like a large trap with its mouth wide open! Waiting for Lu Xiaobu to leap in! Lu Xiaobu saw this scene and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, the host Henry was talking to Smith. Seeing that Lu Xiaobu had arrived, he didnt even give him a proper look, deeming him less important than a staff member in Henrys eyes! Henry: "My assistant has already confirmed that this Lu Xiaobu truly doesnt understand English, so as long as we smile, he wont know what were talking about." Smith: "My old pal, youre the clever one! This way we can make a fool of this man from the Heavenly Dynasty!" Henry: "Of course, what I hate the most are the people from the Heavenly Dynasty; they are even worse than black people! This Lu Xiaobu daring to accept my invitation is a provocation to me, so I must humiliate him thoroughly." Smith gave a veiled thumbs uponly a few people knew that Henry, because of some matters in his childhood, detested people from the Heavenly Dynasty extremely. And, one might ask, what kind of live audience could a show with such a host have? So, the conversations among the audience were all like this! "Hahaha, I think I can guess Henrys scheme, he definitely wants to humiliate this man from the Heavenly Dynasty through the translator." "Thats really shameless, but I like it. People from the Heavenly Dynasty shouldnt appear in America!" "I used to work in remodeling, comfortably earning three thousand US dollars without supplying materials. Then the people from the Heavenly Dynasty came, working for two thousand dollars including labor and materials, and even treating the clients to Chinese food! Damn it, then I went bankrupt! I hate the people from the Heavenly Dynasty!" "Yes, I hate the people from the Heavenly Dynasty too! I once ate at this restaurant called One Scoop One US Dollar Chinese Food for a long time. I always thought it was much cheaper than the eight-dollar fast food I used to have. Then I found out I was eating at least eleven scoops every time, happily recommending customers to them under the pretense of cheap prices! Those despicable Heavenly Dynasty people!" "Regardless, today is the day for retribution! Henry just said that this man from the Heavenly Dynasty doesnt understand English." "..." Lu Xiaobu couldnt understand them, but just looking at their expressions, he could guess what they were saying. A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, but he remained silent, as the time to speak hadnt arrived yet. Once all the preparations were complete, and the time had come. Finally, the broadcast began! And it was then that Henry finally spoke his first words to Lu Xiaobu: "Let us welcome the scourge of the Heavenly Dynasty, Lu Xiaobu, to our show Henry Talks! Since it is Lu Xiaobus first time on a show like this, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!" The first sentence was already combative! And the translator, smiling, omitted the term "scourge" as he translated! They were bullying Lu Xiaobu for not understanding English! Lu Xiaobu looked at Henry indifferently: "I only have one questionis this live?" Do you remember when Lu Xiaobu last asked this question? Correct, it was during the live broadcast of the show "Genius or Idiot"! Chapter 189 Our Heavenly Dynasty Can Fly [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Our Heavenly Dynasty Can Fly [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus question, although Henry was taken aback, he still nodded affirmatively, but he didnt forget to throw shade at the Heavenly Dynasty: "Of course, it is indeed live broadcasting! You guys probably havent seen this kind of thing before, right?" Hearing Henrys words, everyone immediately burst into laughter! "Behind the times, East. Poor East." "They havent even seen a live broadcast; well, it makes sense, that isolated country of theirs, such things are indeed rare." "Dont make fun of them. Its normal for them to ask if they havent seen it before." "..." Seeing Henry nod, Lu Xiaobu arched his eyebrows: "Alright, ask whatever you want to ask." "Okay then, Ive always had one question, that is, have you ever seen automobiles in the Heavenly Dynasty? The ones with four wheels, surely youre not still using human-drawn carts, right?" Henry fired off his first question. This was actually a question that didnt need an answer. After all, everyone knew that people from the Heavenly Dynasty must take a plane to come to America. If they have planes, how could they not have seen automobiles? His question served two purposes: one was blatantly to mock, and the other was to warm up the audience and make it clear that the theme was to ridicule people from the Heavenly Dynasty. Indeed, as he predicted, whether it was the live audience or the viewers in front of the TV, all displayed an amused smile. "Henry is still so sharp!" "This is simply deliberately making things difficult for them!" "Do you really have to be that cruel? People from the Heavenly Dynasty are really pitiful!" "..." And under Henrys instruction, the translator turned it into: "Does every family in the Heavenly Dynasty have a car? How do you usually get around?" The translators voice was very soft, and it wasnt broadcasted live, plus the translator wore a smile, so no one would suspect that there had been a mistranslation. Lu Xiaobu corner of mouth twitched into a smile: "Youre asking about cars? In the Heavenly Dynasty, we dont have cars! Never seen them!" No sooner had he finished speaking. The entire room erupted into laughter. "No way, people from the Heavenly Dynasty have never seen cars?" "Those four-wheeled ones, the cars that you can ride instead of walking!" "Pitiful Heavenly Dynasty, too pitiful!" "..." Lu Xiaobu continued: "Because we dont need cars! We usually fly!" At those words, everyone was briefly stunned, then burst into uncontrollable laughter. "What? Dont need cars and use flying?" "Have people from the Heavenly Dynasty gone mad? Flying? Do they think theyre Angels?" "Hahaha, Im dying! This guy from the Heavenly Dynasty is hilarious!" "..." Henry was laughing so hard that tears came out: "Seriously, I dont like people from the Heavenly Dynasty, but Ive found I kind of like you, youre too funny! Use flying? You actually said use flying?" Watching the Americans laughing almost maniacally, Lu Xiaobu remained calm and collected, completely at ease, quietly waiting for them to finish their laughter. No matter, let them laugh, the happier they laugh, the better. Because the happier you are now, the more insane youll become later! The higher you fly, the harder you fall! Finally, after a long time, Henry managed to contain his laughter with the professionalism of a host: "Sorry, I lost my composure, lets continue." "Sure thing!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders. "Alright, then a classic question, is the Kung Fu of people from the Heavenly Dynasty a hoax?" Henry asked. What no one noticed was that the moment he asked the question, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, even fury erupted! "Its real!" Lu Xiaobu gave an affirmative answer. "Figures its a scam!" Henry blurted out reflexively, then suddenly paused, stood up abruptly, his eyes blazing with infinite rage: "What! Its real! You dare say its real!!!" "Correct, its real." Lu Xiaobu looked up and reaffirmed his response. The result! Henry instantly exploded like a cats tail had been stepped on: "Damn! Impossible! You people from the Heavenly Dynasty are trying to deceive me again! You people from the Heavenly Dynasty are all big liars, liars! If youre capable, show me one for real!" "Alright." Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders. Ive been waiting for this! You little punk! Hearing Lu Xiaobu dare to agree, everyone laughed! The translator laughed so hard that he almost couldnt get the translation out! This guy from the Heavenly Dynasty wasnt just crazy, but also a chuunibyo! And at that moment! "Dragon Capturing Hand of three million!" Lu Xiaobu directly slapped over a Dragon Capturing Hand! "Slap!" With a loud smack, Henrys face was fiercely slapped! A bright red handprint appeared on his face instantly. "What the fuck!" Everyones smiles froze in an instant, they all went crazy! After the huge ups and downs, many people nearly couldnt take it with their hearts! They all looked at the scene in horror! They looked at Lu Xiaobu, then at Henry who indeed got slapped, and went nuts! What the hell happened?! That Heavenly Dynasty guy clearly didnt move! Why did Henry get hit?! Could it really be Heavenly Dynasty Kung Fu? Henry touched his face in disbelief, feeling the burning pain! He was stupefied! I got hit?! Holy shit, who hit me? Who hit me? Heavenly Dynasty guy?! What kind of joke is this? This Heavenly Dynasty guy was a full three meters away from me! Its absolutely impossible it was him! "How about that? Do you believe it now?" Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly, arms folded. "This is absolutely impossible, you must have used some trick!" Henry roared immediately! And then Smith looked at Henry: "Old pal, you arent putting on a show with Lu Xiaobu, are you?" "What show? I really got hit!" Henry yelled! "Three million Dragon Capturing Hand!" Lu Xiaobu smiled and used the Dragon Capturing Hand move again! "Slap!" Another red handprint appeared on the other half of Henrys face! Now it was symmetrical! Lu Xiaobu still didnt feel it was enough; he looked at Smith with a smile. "Three million Dragon Capturing Hand!" "Slap!" Smith got slapped too! Henry covered his face with both hands, Smith covered his with one hand, both with jaws dropped and eyes filled with horror looking at Lu Xiaobu! It was true! They really got hit! And unexpectedly, it indeed seemed like it was Lu Xiaobu who hit them! S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. How could this be possible?! How could they be hit from such a distance? It seems that other than Heavenly Dynasty Kung Fu, theres no other explanation! "No, it cannot be! This is unscientific!" Henry, as if mad, yelled: "Director, bring up the replay, lets watch the replay!" "Yes, yes, yes, watch the replay, this is totally unscientific, this Heavenly Dynasty Kung Fu cannot possibly exist!" Smith roared as well. The director hurriedly brought up the replay feature with a face full of terror! But! Slow motion X2... Nothing found! Slow motion X8... Nothing found! Slow motion X16... Nothing found! Slow motion X32... Still nothing found! Lu Xiaobu sat still the whole time, but whenever he spoke, Henry got hit! Everyone stared dumbfounded at the slow-motion replay with no anomalies! All had blank minds! Could it be... that Heavenly Dynasty people really have Divine Skills?! Otherwise, how could all this be explained?! Lu Xiaobu looked at the stupefied crowd, his mouth corner slightly picking up. It was not until then that he leisurely put the lotus in his mouth and ate it. Then he said in a drawn-out tone: "Does everyone still remember the last question? We people of the Heavenly Dynasty, can really fly!" With one sentence, all of America went insane! Could it be that people of the Heavenly Dynasty can really fly?!?! Chapter 190 This must be the Power of Qi【Please Collect, Please Recommend】 Chapter 190: Chapter 190 This must be the Power of QiPlease Collect, Please RecommendHeavenly Dynasty people can fly?! This incredible but undeniable answer was presented before everyone! When someone tells you they can fly, you dont believe it! When someone tells you they know Martial Arts, you dont believe that either! Now, theyve proven they can perform Martial Arts, the kind that is shadowless and traceless, can you still not believe it? S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Similarly, its proven that Heavenly Dynasty people can fly! "Impossible! Youre absolutely making this up!" Henry continued to roar. Smith also roared: "This is unscientific!" Both of the beaten men couldnt believe it at all. Lu Xiaobus lips slightly rose as he approached a blooming flower by the sofa, gently plucking all its petals: "A flower fit to be plucked should be plucked at once, do not wait till there are no flowers to pluck the branches!" The onsite Americans were all stunned. Because they actually understood what Lu Xiaobu said! What the hell?! Ancient Heavenly Dynasty poetry, they actually understood? How the heck did this happen? Isnt ancient Heavenly Dynasty poetry supposed to be one of the hardest-to-understand arts in the world?! Why on Earth can they suddenly understand it now? However, this is never the end, only the beginning! "Bring it till the eighth of September in autumn, after my flower blooms all others shall perish!" Lu Xiaobu gently recited another line of poetry, while that faint True Qi surged into the bare tree branch. In no time, under the support of True Qi, which possessed a powerful life force, the branch from which Lu Xiaobu had plucked the flowers began to sprout and bloom anew! Hmm, this act is quite satisfying! This is why Lu Xiaobu wanted the system to give him a prop that would let Americans understand his words completely! Otherwise, tell me, how could the poetic charm of this ancient poetry be expressed in English! Shocked, terrified, panicked, going mad! These words are not enough to describe the emotions of the Americans witnessing this scene. Perhaps one word can describe itferocious! Its an emotional collapse to the extreme, a state that cant elevate any further! What had they seen? The withered, the branch that had flowers plucked a second ago, was blooming again! This was absolutely a miracle! A miracle! Can all of this be explained by science? If it could, I want all the scientists in America to give me an explanation! If not! Then, I can only believe that Heavenly Dynasty people know Martial Arts! Heavenly Dynasty people can fly! Lu Xiaobu, looking at the dumbfounded Henry, said indifferently, "Want to learn? I can teach you!" Honestly, Lu Xiaobus words were just for show! However! "Crack!" A loud sound echoed through the venue. Everyone turned to look. To their astonishment, they found the host, Henry, had actually knelt down! Whats going on? Henry is supposedly mocking Heavenly Dynasty people on behalf of the Americans! What does it mean for him to kneel now? Does it represent that America is kneeling to the Heavenly Dynasty?! Yet this is still not the end! "Master! Master! I beg you to teach me Martial Arts!" Henry suddenly blurted out a string of authentic Chinese! "Holy shit!" Everyone completely lost it! What the hell? Henry, who hates Heavenly Dynasty people the most, not only knelt down but can also speak fluent Chinese!? What on earth is happening today?! Are we the crazy ones, or is this world mad? Not only can Heavenly Dynasty people perform Martial Arts, fly, but also Henry, who views Heavenly Dynasty people as arch-enemies, can speak Chinese! Alright, alright, you guys are badass, you Heavenly Dynasty people can fly, fine! We believe it already, okay! Newton, Abe no, go away! Cover your own coffin lids! "What the hell?" Not just the Americans were shocked, even Lu Xiaobu was dumbfounded! Master? Martial Arts? Kneeling?! Why does this sound so familiar, like something often seen in movies! How is this kid so proficient? "Master, my fate is actually very tragic, I was a premature baby!" Henry started talking, and the tears came just as easily. He had a reason for hating the Heavenly Dynasty so much! As a teenager, he was obsessed with Kung Fu from the Heavenly Dynasty! He even gave up everything to study Kung Fu from the Heavenly Dynasty! And then! Without a doubt, he encountered a scammer! If it was just one scammer, he could have accepted it! But, he met six scammers in seven days! So, he became desperate! He gave up learning Kung Fu and made hating the Heavenly Dynasty his lifes work! Until now! Just a moment ago, his soul of Kung Fu awakened again, feeling that he had finally met a true master! He wanted to learn, at all costs! "Get lost!" But Lu Xiaobu directly kicked Henry over! Premature delivery?! Youve watched too many comedy skits! "No, no, master, please teach me!" Henry couldnt be brushed off, just like those wealthy individuals previously at the Shimen auction! Humans are more complex than any creature when you say its complicated, but also simpler than any creature when its simple! They can dedicate heart and soul for a goal, sparing nothing, yet they can also give up everything for a goal! Not just him, everyone in the audience looked at Lu Xiaobu with eager faces! "Please, mysterious people of the Heavenly Dynasty, teach us! Please teach us!" "We also want to fly!" "Its okay if we dont fly, just teach us a bit of Heavenly Dynasty Kung Fu!" "..." "Cough cough!" Lu Xiaobu coughed twice: "Really want to learn?" Everyone nodded frantically. "Well then, the mommys little whip classroom...oops, the Immortal Cultivation classroom is now in session." Lu Xiaobu began a seriously nonsensical mode! The people of America immediately sat in rows, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to start the class. "First, to practice Immortal Cultivation, you first need to understand what Spiritual Energy is." Lu Xiaobu looked at everyone: "Do you know what Spiritual Energy is?" Some shook their heads, some nodded! "I dont know!" "I know, it seems to be a mysterious energy!" "Thats right, I heard that people from the Heavenly Dynasty all have this energy, so they are all very smart!" "..." "Youre right, we people from the Heavenly Dynasty have a powerful energy called Qi." Lu Xiaobu kept a straight face: "Ever watched the anti-Japanese god drama?" Henry was stunned: "Anti-Japanese god drama?!" He hurriedly told the director: "Hurry, the master needs it, hurry up and pull it up!" The director quickly collected the anti-Japanese god drama! The anti-Japanese god drama started playing! The first segment! "Ha!" Classic ripping apart Japanese soldiers scenario! The protagonist first uses a Black Tiger Heart Dig, then with both hands, forcefully! Rip! The Japanese soldier was torn in half! "Hisss!" All the Americans gasped at the scene! "My god, thats terrifying! So the people from the Heavenly Dynasty are this scary!" "Yes! Tearing people alive! Just like that!" "I thought it was the American atomic bombs that frightened Japan initially, but it seems not! They were actually scared by the people from the Heavenly Dynasty!" "Its damn terrifying!" "..." "See! This is the application of Qi! Tearing apart soldiers is nothing? Even tanks will be torn apart for you to see!" Lu Xiaobu tried hard to maintain a straight face. He was struggling so hard to hold back his laughter! Damn! Have you ever seen someone teaching Immortal Cultivation with anti-Japanese god dramas? Then the second scene appeared! Bun Bomb! The Americans watched as the protagonist ate half of the bun then threw it! Then! It exploded! All the Americans went crazy! "Holy shit! What kind of weapon is this?" "Its edible, and it can be used?!" "You wont accidentally eat the bomb?!" "This isnt scientific..." An American instinctively exclaimed, then he looked at Lu Xiaobu, then at the flower that just blossomed, then stood up: "This must be the power of Qi! Yes, the power of Qi!" Chapter 191 Laughing until Cramps [Asking for Collection, Asking for Recommendation] Chapter 191: 191 Laughing until Cramps [Asking for Collection, Asking for Recommendation]Lu Xiaobu looked at the Americans who had been entranced and could now explain things by themselves, and couldnt hold it in any longer: "Cough, cough, study hard, I need to go to the restroom!" "Yes, teacher!" The Americans suddenly shouted in unison! Lu Xiaobu said it and ran out! He really couldnt bear it! He was almost laughing himself to pee! Americans are so funny! Once outside! "Pfft! Hahaha!" Lu Xiaobu was rolling on the floor with laughter, he was dying of joy! "Young Master, youre so bad!" Liang Lan and others were also losing it with laughter at the door. "Youre talking about the power of Qi, are you planning to laugh me to death and then inherit my fortune? Talking about the damn power of Qi!" Little Chili couldnt stop laughing! "Ha, ha, ha!" As for Wu Qianmin, she laughed so hard she was running out of breath, her abdomen was cramping! "Young Master, look, Henry is explaining over there!" Li Jin was also laughing so hard his back teeth were showing, pointing to the studio. "What?" The four of them, who were unable to contain their laughter, quickly stood up and looked inside! They saw Henry, at that moment, voluntarily stepping up as the teacher, explaining to the Americans. "Do you know why you can tear apart the enemies with your hands?" Henry said mysteriously. "Why?" The crowd was stunned. "The power of Qi?" "Yes, the power of Qi, but thats not quite accurate!" Henry looked at the hand-tearing enemy skill again and then said seriously: "If Im not mistaken, this must be a Kung Fu called Nine Yin White Bone Claw, rumored to be known by only a very few in the Heavenly Dynasty!" He remembered the first time he was conned when that master taught him it was Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and it seemed that once you reached the Mahayana Realm, you could penetrate someones skull, which was terrifying! However, later his first master got his fingers chopped off because of his gambling debts! What a pity! "Nine Yin White Bone Claw?!" The Americans looked shocked. "My God, although I dont understand, the name itself sounds amazing!" "Yeah! What is Nine Yin White Bone Claw?!" "Henry, youre not good at this! We understood right away when the teacher said it, but we dont understand what youre saying at all!" "..." "Nonsense, if you understood everything I said like a teacher, then Id be the teacher! Im just telling you my guess. In a moment, you can ask the teacher about it!" Henry said excitedly. "Oh, I see, Nine Yin White Bone Claw, I got it, whats next, whats next?" "Right, right, keep going!" "..." "Okay, Bun Bomb must be a skill called Sleeve Universe." Henry used his meager intellect to try explaining. Well, that was what his second con artist master taught him, who claimed it could capture all things within the sleeve. However, that master was caught during a demonstration because he was a thief! He couldnt manage to get the stolen wallet into the Sleeve Universe! Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Before, he thought the man was a con artist, but now it seemed that it was just because his Kung Fu wasnt strong enough! "Oh my god! Sleeve Universe, such a beautiful name!" "I want to learn this, you called it what, rights repair?" "Its Sleeve Universe, not rights repair." "..." "And that sniper who can take out an enemy over eight hundred miles, must be using a Divine Skill called Finger Snapping Technique!" Henry continued to explain with dead seriousness! This skill wasnt taught by his master, but something he saw in a damaged Secret Manual, which was called something like Shooting Eagles or something, it was just super cool! The Americans nodded, taking note seriously! And now all the Americans watching the live broadcast have gone crazy! "My God! People from the Heavenly Dynasty are actually this powerful?" "Nine Yin White Bone Claw? Sleeve Universe? Finger Snapping Technique!?" "What the heck is this!?" "Im gonna find someone from the Heavenly Dynasty and ask for a demonstration!" "..." Countless young people cant sleep anymore, crazily flooding into Chinatown. They grab any person from the Heavenly Dynasty and beg with fervent faces: "Please fly for me to see!" "Fly!?" A person from the Heavenly Dynasty is utterly bewildered: "What the devil?" "Are you from the Heavenly Dynasty?" the American asks. "Yes!" The person from the Heavenly Dynasty nods: "Although Ive been in America for over a decade, I am indeed from the Heavenly Dynasty!" "Then you must be able to fly, dont lie to me!" The American is incredulous, clinging to the person from the Heavenly Dynasty, terrified that they might fly away. "Fly? I really cant do that! My mom never taught me that skill!" The person from the Heavenly Dynasty is also going crazy. Have these Americans lost their minds?! "Otherwise, a display of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw would do, but please dont tear me apart!" The American continues to insist! The person from the Heavenly Dynasty: "..." If I really could, Id definitely tear you apart! ... Outside the studio, Lu Xiaobu and his companions are watching with jaws dropped and laughing uncontrollably! "Damn, thats brilliant! Even better at bluffing than me!" Lu Xiaobu is laughing so hard his jaws are cramping: "Is it really okay to fool his compatriots like this?" While they are still enjoying the moment, someone bursts in suddenly, heading straight for Lu Xiaobu. Its a middle-aged man from the Heavenly Dynasty. "Lu Xiaobu?" The man takes out a photo to compare. "Correct." Lu Xiaobu nods. "Hello, let me introduce myself, Im Zhang Baijun from the embassy. The higher-ups in America have noticed this broadcast, and Im afraid theyll come to take you soon, please come with us to the embassy to hide for a while," Zhang Baijun says with a frown. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu nods his head, not surprised; if the American authorities hadnt noticed by now, then theyd really be idiots! "You really did it this time, why make such a big fuss?! Just buy the company and be done with it, why go at it so hard! You even fooled Americans, if it escalates to a diplomatic issue, youre going to have trouble!" Zhang Baijun, looking at Lu Xiaobus nonchalant attitude, just cant help but scold! Honestly, if it wasnt for orders, he wouldnt bother with this reckless wastrel at all! And talking about people from the Heavenly Dynasty being able to fly! Even though he doesnt know what tricks Lu Xiaobu is playing, no matter what! Its just sheer nonsense! "How is it? Are you saying that its deserved when they insult me, insult the Heavenly Dynasty?" Lu Xiaobu gets fired up immediately! He really dislikes it when people scold him without questioning the facts first! "Its not about that, dont twist my words! If youve got the ability, sort out the trouble yourself! Make the Americans back off!" Zhang Baijun is so frustrated. Made a mess and still cant be criticized?! "Fine, Ill handle it myself!" Lu Xiaobu snorts: "Believe it or not, I can make them all shut up about it?!" "I really dont believe that, if you can do it, Ill cook for you personally!" Zhang Baijun is utterly skeptical. He just thought Lu Xiaobus approach was wrong, he didnt actually have anything against him, in fact, he had a bit of admiration for this daring and outspoken young man! "Alright, Ill take you up on that meal!" Lu Xiaobu cracks his knuckles and heads towards the studio. Damn it, just when I cant find a good Chinese meal, it falls right into my lap, why not take it! "Enough, lets not cause a scene in America, lets get back to the embassy quickly! Just hide for a couple of days and itll be fine!" Zhang Baijun is really getting angry now, just when he was starting to admire him, this really is being too reckless! Chapter 192: Strive in Immortal Cultivation, You Will Surely Ascend [Please Favorite, Recommend] Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Strive in Immortal Cultivation, You Will Surely Ascend [Please Favorite, Recommend]Lu Xiaobu snorted coldly, breaking free from Zhang Baijuns hold and striding into the studio. Because he was irritated by Zhang Baijun, his face wasnt looking too good. This inadvertently added a sense of dignity. "Teacher!" "We want to learn the Nine Yin White Bone Claw!" "And that... fixing overdue payments!" "No, thats not it, its Sleeve Universe!" "..." The white people were shouting excitedly one after another. "Nonsense!" Lu Xiaobu started to rebuke loudly! With one sentence, all the white people were instantly stunned! They were silent as if struck by a cold spell, not knowing what they had done wrong! "Do you know what it means that the Way should not be conveyed lightly, and the law should not be transmitted to the uninitiated? Are you bragging about it here because you want to do what exactly?! Do you want to attract the attention of Ancient Martial Artists and get yourselves eradicated?!" Lu Xiaobu held a stern face, scolding them mercilessly. With his tongue blooming with lotus flowers, he was able to easily convey the meaning to everyone! Zhang Baijun was twitching at the doorno, how could you spout such nonsense with such justice and righteousness?! And the most ridiculous part is that the Americans actually believed it?! Oh, for the love of! But Henry in the studio shuddered suddenly. The Way should not be conveyed lightly, the law should not be transmitted to the uninitiated?! He knew now! He finally understood why he couldnt learn before! And also! He... he... he did something wrong today too! Yes, Heavenly Dynastys Kung Fu was never a skill to be loudly proclaimed! Suddenly, his knees went weak, and he sat down on the floor. The other white people were also frightened! Not only were they worried that they might not learn Kung Fu, but they also started worrying about being silenced! "Ive got it!" Henrys mind worked quickly, his eyes suddenly lit up, he regained his composure, and then said to the camera, "Haha, youve all been fooled! From beginning to end, it was all a performance together with me, Lu Xiaobu, including the beating and that branch, all props. Lets thank Lu Xiaobu with applause!" Thats right, the law should not be conveyed lightly, the Way should not be transmitted to the uninitiated, you cant let everyone else learn it! He wanted to learn it by himself! He was such an idiot just now, why did he explain it to these people?! Then he continued, "Alright, thats the end of todays Henry Speaks. Thank you all for watching!" After speaking, he ordered the director to turn off the live broadcast! "Good, that was well done, so I will teach you a mnemonic now! When you can truly understand this verse and translate it correctly in your mother tongue, then you can be considered to have started on the path. Youll be ready to learn the true Immortal Cultivation!" Lu Xiaobu spoke with a grave expression, spouting utter nonsense with all seriousness! "Yes, Teacher!" Henry was overjoyed. However, when he looked down at the audience who were just as eagerly expectant as him, he immediately felt displeased! Damn it, these vampires, the teacher was supposed to teach me! And now Lu Xiaobu began. "The Way that can be told of is not the unvarying Way; the name that can be named is not the unvarying name." "Nameless, it is the origin of all things; named, it is the mother of all things." "Thus, ever without desire, one sees its essence; ever with desire, one sees its manifestations." "These two are the same, but diverge in name as they issue forth. Being the same they are called mysteries, mystery upon mystery, the gateway of the manifold secrets." "..." Yes, Lu Xiaobu began reciting the Tao Te Ching! Why is it said that hes reciting?! Because, right now, hes reading it from his phone, he cant memorize it! Now there are always some fools saying that the Heavenly Dynasty is way too backward, not as good as the West! To Lu Xiaobu, that was just a bunch of nonsense! How could the five-thousand-year heritage of the Heavenly Dynasty be inferior to the West?! Every word summarized by our ancestors over five thousand years is worthy of countless generations admiration and worship! What Westerners call unscientific and metaphysics is just a result of their misunderstanding! But today, with the help of magical eloquence, they understood! No no no! Not understood! Its more accurate to say they got the gist! They got the gist of these words! Instantly, they were all besotted! Each of them immersed in those profound words, utterly fascinated! At the same time, their belief in what Lu Xiaobu said before became even stronger! They want to comprehend this passage and articulate its true meaning in English, and then, they can begin Immortal Cultivation! Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Was Lu Xiaobu always such a scammer?" At the door, Zhang Baijun looked up to the sky, speechlessly choked up! This Lu Xiaobu was way too cunning! Understand the Tao Te Ching? Seriously, how many people from the Heavenly Dynasty genuinely understand the Tao Te Ching?! Not to mention, translating the Tao Te Ching into English?! This is just an impossible problem, alright?! To be honest, having been in America for so many years, this is the first time hes found Americans to be so naive! First, they believe in Immortal Cultivation, then in Heavenly Dynasty people being able to fly, and now, even better, they want to translate the Tao Te Ching into English! Just go play on your own, will you? Give yourselves another five hundred years, add a few thousand more words, and youll still not be able to translate it! This here is the difference between Americans and people from the Heavenly Dynasty! People from the Heavenly Dynasty know their own business. Whether its Zhang Baijun or any normal person from the Heavenly Dynasty, none of them ever believed what Lu Xiaobu said. After all, they werent there at the scene, and the magical eloquence wouldnt work on them. Even if Lu Xiaobu really had a Cultivation Method, it would be the same! But Americans are different, in their eyes, although the Heavenly Dynasty is relatively behind, it has always been a symbol of mystery! And today, having seen with their own eyes, plus with Henrys transformation from a critic to a fan of the Heavenly Dynasty, their instinct is to believe! This is actually the same principle as pyramid schemes; those who are clear-headed know that those kinds of activities are impossible to make money from, yet still, plenty of people believe in them! So the Americans here might come to their senses later, but as of now, with their emotions running high, they definitely wont realize! ... After reading the Tao Te Ching, Lu Xiaobu left the studio graciously amidst peoples respectful send-off! At this time, the FBI arrived and arrested the audience and Henry. Henry kept shouting, "Why are you arresting me? I want a lawyer; this is my show, its my right to joke, you have no right to arrest me!" While shouting, he also gave Lu Xiaobu a resolute lookTeacher, I wont spill the beans! Lu Xiaobu noddedKeep it up, work hard on your cultivation, and you will surely ascend! Zhang Baijun slapped his foreheadThis kids done for! Totally brainwashed! Was Lu Xiaobu really that terrifying? He believed that besides this Henry, there must be loads of people in America whove been brainwashed by Lu Xiaobu! He couldnt even imagine what these people might end up doing! "Lets go, lets eat." Lu Xiaobu said to Zhang Baijun in high spirits: "You said youd cook for me!" What a mess America was in, that wasnt for him to worry about! What he cared about was eating his fill, then it would be time forLeague of Heroes! Yes, League of Heroes can finally start! So many nonsense issues day after day! Chapter 193 - LOL is Released! [4th Update for Sect Leader Wei Bowen, 1 More Update Remaining] Chapter 193: 193 Chapter LOL is Released! [4th Update for Sect Leader Wei Bowen, 1 More Update Remaining]Zhang Baijun wanted to cry, he really did! Originally, all he did was invite Lu Xiaobu to a meal! But then! They just wouldnt leave and stayed on, eating at his place for three days! It made him have to wake up at 5 AM every day to prepare breakfast and wash dishes until after 11 PM every night! He could have tolerated all that! But the worst part was, this Lu Xiaobu even ordered dishes! Eating is fine, but why all the chatter? And he ordered dishes?! I swear Ill never take their orders again! Forget it, enough said, Lu Xiaobu wants deep-fried dough sticks, I need to hurry and knead the dough! "Young Master, the procedures at Wrist Strength Company are all done, should we go over today?" Liang Lan asked Lu Xiaobu who was munching on deep-fried dough sticks. "Sure, lets go today." Lu Xiaobu nodded. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... After the meal, the group made their way to Wrist Strength Company. "Boss, youre here." Green came to the entrance to greet them, but his expression was quite awkward. "Whats wrong?" Lu Xiaobu asked, noticing Greens expression. "Boss, a lot of people have resigned." Green, the big guy, looked embarrassed. He couldnt help it, many Americans still felt uneasy working for Lu Xiaobu! Plus, yesterdays "Henry Speaks" added more tension! So, that led to a mass resignation today! "No big deal, if people leave, well just hire more," Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly. "Sister Lan, Ill hand you the stuff, you screen through them, see whats suitable, then tell them to get started!" "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan immediately took the LOL design drafts from Lu Xiaobu and arranged everything. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu started playing with his phone at the company! ... What Lu Xiaobu didnt know was that at this very moment, a massive wave concerning this game was stirring up online! The reason its called a massive wave is because there was a Black Hand behind the scenes pushing it! And that Black Hand was the American Government! The reason is simple! The episode "Henry Speaks" had caused too much commotion! Even taking down the video and deleting comments online couldnt quell the wave! Thus, the higher-ups in America drew a stratagem from the Heavenly Dynastys "The Art of War by Sun Tzu." They started to vigorously stir up debates in the gaming community, getting Smith to appear on various talk shows and programs, vehemently proclaiming the competition with Lu Xiaobu in the gaming world! Who can defy a nation, after all? So, the online situation was one-sided! "Mechanical Companys games can definitely crush Wrist Strength Companys!" "Exactly, no doubt about it!" "Even if it cant, Ill make sure it can!" "Yes, I will buy games from the Mechanical Company, but not from Wrist Strength!" "..." The internet was flooded with similar comments, completely sweeping across the network! However, Lu Xiaobu remained unfazed, oblivious to the outside disturbances! ... Three days later. Well-prepared with the support of the American Government and investment companies, a competitive game called "Steel Life" was launched hot off the presses! It immediately received widespread acclaim upon release! The ratings soared up to 9.9! However! The comments below went like this: "So fun! Hmm, although I havent played it yet!" "The characters inside are so awesome, whats the name of that character with several faces?" "Hey, second floor, maybe comment after you play? Makes us Americans look bad!" "Exactly, although it follows Mechanical Companys so-so style, I still give it a good rating!" "Same here, whether I play or not doesnt matter, whether its good doesnt matter, just as long as we dont let **** (Yellow Monkey) succeed!" "..." Lu Xiaobu continued playing games! Oh and its worth mentioning that Zhang Baijun has now learned how to make tofu pudding, a nice start! ... Another day passed! The rating for "Steel Life" dropped to 8.8! There was no helping it, some real gaming enthusiasts couldnt stand it! They really had no choice but to give a bad review! "Oh, clichd settings, clichd plot, clichd modes, Im really gonna hurl!" "Sorry America, Im not unpatriotic, its just that I really feel like throwing up!" "Too mediocre, I feel like every game from Mechanical Company is all the same!" "This game is only suitable for elementary school students!" "..." ... Lu Xiaobu has started reading novels now. Zhang Baijun has also learned how to boil cabbage in water and stays in the kitchen all the time! He said that once he quits, hes going to be a chef! ... Time flies! Half a month has passed! League of Heroes is finally ready! Maybe someone would ask why it was so quick, considering the production of Earths LOL took who knows how many years! Actually, the answer is simple! Because Earths LOL is innovative, while here, they just need to copy! All they need to do is to perfectly restore the data and materials given by Lu Xiaobu! They dont need to consider anything else! Its like painting, painting from scratch is difficult, but if youre just coloring over someone elses work, thats really easy! Wrist Strength Company! All the company employees are intensely watching Lu Xiaobus operations! "Hmm, not bad, well done, Gai Luns artistic style is quite fitting!" Lu Xiaobu is acting as the first player to test the game! Honestly, as someone who had played LOL before, playing this Otherworlds LOL doesnt feel very suitable! But its not bad! After all, the cultures of the two worlds are not entirely the same, and there are always some discrepancies! This is also why Lu Xiaobu came to America to buy the company! Even American companies have discrepancies! Then imagine if Heavenly Dynasty companies made it, wouldnt it just explode!? All martial arts style?! Of course, its undeniable, Lu Xiaobu has a blast playing this game! "Boss, should we start internal testing?" Green asked quietly. He was truly impressed! Not just by Lu Xiaobus wild creativity! But also by his diligent pursuit of fairness in the game! Whats the biggest fear in competitive games? Its the lack of fairness! Once a hero becomes too strong! That would destroy the fairness of the entire game! And Young Master Bus plan for halting work has perfectly achieved balance! Awesome! "Well done!" Lu Xiaobu expressed his praise: "Five thousand each, go play!" "Oh yeah! Thanks Young Master Xie Xiaobu, Young Master Xiaobu, may you reign supreme in Jianghu forever!" All the companys people cheered! Theyve memorized that phrase by now! After all, they shout it before every meeting every day! Some people are so tormented by it that they even talk about it in their sleep! It made their wives constantly quarrel with them, asking themwho is Lu Xiaobu! "Lets start! For internal testing, lets just do it in America! Its not suitable if its too far away!" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and said Honestly, he actually didnt want to conduct the tests in America! After all, considering the incidents before, hes very clear about Americas impression of LOL! But then he figured it out! What is LOL, anyway? Can it be stopped by any country?! Absolutely not! So! He decided to only conduct internal testing in America! As for the open testing! Ahem Ahem Ahem! Sorry, America wont be involved! So, can you imagine the faces of those American players who really enjoyed the game when the time comes? Ahem ahem ahem! Im a gentleman! Do you believe that?! Chapter 194 Get Lost! I Want to Play League of Heroes [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Get Lost! I Want to Play League of Heroes [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The internal testing for League of Heroes has started! As expected, amid this prevailing climate, the news about the League of Heroes internal test was hardly noticed by anyone! Americans selectively skipped over all news about LOL. Oh, thats not right, they even casually left a bad review! Currently rated 1.1! The lowest in history! "Trash game, although I havent played, but it must be trash!" "A game made by a company from Heavenly Dynasty, sorry, I wont play!" "Even if its really fun, I wont play it!" "Thats right, people from Heavenly Dynasty get out of America!" "Trash Wrist Strength Company, a company blinded by money!" "Wrist Strength Company has no integrity for money!" "..." Green cursed in the company seeing these continuous bad reviews: "F*ck! Damn it! A bunch of scum!" Lu Xiaobu looked at Green, who was fuming, and curled his lips: "Come, Ill teach you Chinese curse words!" "What?" Green was totally confused! "Come, follow me and say, MLGB!" Lu Xiaobu said earnestly. "What!?" Green went crazy! My boss! Is this the time to say this? Didnt you see that players are madly giving bad reviews? You still have the mood to teach me how to curse!? No, I want to know, in Heavenly Dynasty, how do you express this kind of emotion?! Li Jin noticed Greens thoughts and gently said: "This kind of emotion is called, egg pain, come, say with me, d~an egg, t~eng pain! Egg pain!" "Egg?! Pain?!" Green recited these two awkward words in astonishment. He wanted to die! Why? Why arent you guys anxious? Could this be a unique talent of people from Heavenly Dynasty!? Or is it the power of Qi!? Forget it, egg pain! Yes, this word is indeed very fitting! "Come on, lets play." Lu Xiaobu invited the employees to play LOL. Like Green, some people were not in the mood to play and shook their heads. But there were still some who didnt care much. "Oh, boss, no offense, but although the idea is yours, the heroes were made by us, we are very familiar with them, watch out, we might not give you face!" A white guy said excitedly. The others shamelessly nodded, clearly interested in thrashing Lu Xiaobu! They were not afraid of Lu Xiaobu getting angry, the more they interacted these days, the more they really started to like their Heavenly Dynasty boss! Funny and humorous, and most importantly, rich! "Cut!" Lu Xiaobu curled his lips, "Come on, I put my words here today, anyone who beats me, reward five thousand US dollars." Suddenly, a large group of Americans eyes turned green! Although theyd only interacted for a few short days, they had already come to understand the generosity of Lu Xiaobu! This statement might be a joke if it came from someone else! But from their bossLu Xiaobu, that was real! Everyone turned on the computers and logged onto LOL. Since it was internal testing, only the matchmaking function was available, rank matches and others were not opened. So, they all chose matchmaking, hoping to match with Lu Xiaobu and use the heroes they designed to win those five thousand US dollars. However, something shocking happened! "Oh my god! Boss, did you secretly practice at night?" One employee, looking at his 0-0-12 stats, was dumbfounded! He and Lu Xiaobu were using the same hero he personally designedAnnie! But why? Why was the creator himself getting thrashed!? "Hmph, think you can thrash me?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled. So what if you are the creator? Can creators necessarily play games?! As a former veteran Bronze player in League of Heroes, he mastered all the tricks for riding the tide or cowering in adversity. He always thought Bronze was the deepest waters in League of Heroes! Here, even professional players cant guarantee a win every single time! Because, he not only had to be wary of the opponents but more importantly, of his teammates! Like now! "Boss, thats too much! That was my jungle creature!" A Black player, who chose the jungler role and matched with Lu Xiaobu, was almost in tears! Lu Xiaobu always seemed to unwittingly pass by. And then! With one skill, he would snatch the jungle creature the Black player was about to kill! He, a proud jungler, is only level 5 until now! He felt like crying! The boss is shameless! Not only stealing kills, minions, but also jungle creatures! He wanted to tell Annies creator How about you get thrashed?! Didnt you see how much economy the boss has eaten!? Almost the entire teams economy! While they were enjoying the game, everyone selectively forgot about the beta testing for the moment. ... Tom was upset! His girlfriend had broken up with him! He decided to vent through gaming! So, he bought a bunch of snacks and drinks and sat in front of his computer. After playing a few matches of games he used to play frequently, because of his poor performance, he kept letting his teammates down. Thus, he decided to switch games. After browsing through some games. He was attracted to the game being beta-tested by people from Heavenly Dynasty League of Heroes. His thought process was simple; hardly anyone plays this game, so messing up is no big deal. So, he gave a bad review first, then opened League of Heroes. Creating an account, he mischievously chose a name Im Your Daddy! After account creation. Four options appeared before him. I am a Newbie: You are just starting to get to know real-time strategy games and hero battle games. I Play: You have played some real-time strategy games, but arent an expert. I am Experienced: You have played some real-time strategy games, and you know how to play them. Are You a Master?: You are a super strong real-time strategy player, so impressive! "Oh, my God, never mind the others, I love this innovation!" Seeing the four options, Tom laughed: "Of course Im a master, get it?!" Entering the game, Tom didnt opt for the tutorial stages. Instead, he directly chose matchmaking. "I feel like Im going to wait a whole day, or I might end up with bots again." Tom muttered to himself. His concerns were normal, considering what the current environment for LOL in America was like. However! Match found! "Oh, my God, are they really bots? That was quick?!" Tom felt a bit upset: "Does Wrist Strength Company not know how to design a waiting period, only matching with bots when no players are found after some time? So quick, have they given up?" Despite his complaints, he still clicked to enter. Luckily, he got matched with Lu Xiaobu! And then... "Damn, that was my kill!" "Sh*t sh*t sh*t, did you do that on purpose!?" "Oh my God, that was my jungle creature!" "My kill got stolen again!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh, my minions! I have no economy left!" "..." Half an hour later! Tom, grinding his teeth, clicked on matchmaking again: "That jerk, I must find you, revenge!" And at that moment, his girlfriend called: "Oh Tom, I was wrong, lets make up!" "Screw off! Im playing League of Heroes!" Tom viciously hung up the phone! Toms girlfriend: "..."

Gradually, the employees here realized something. That was, it was getting more and more difficult for them to match with Lu Xiaobu! Initially, almost every game someone could match with Lu Xiaobu. However, now theyve played five games and still havent matched with Lu Xiaobu. And theres another thing, their bossLu Xiaobu, started losing! No longer the same dominating presence as before. Finally, someone began breaking Lu Xiaobus reign! So... "Damn it, who stole my kill?" "Seriously, you dare steal my kill, believe it or not, Ill ban your account in minutes!" "Kid, come out here, dare to camp at our fountain?!" While cursing up a storm, Lu Xiaobu continued to play the game. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But there was always a smile on his face. Of course, he was just joking. This is the charm of LOL: how many people have cursed their friends while playing at internet cafes, even close to coming to blows. But once it all settled, win or lose, or even when making a comeback from the brink of defeat, everyone would laugh it off and bury the hatchet, turning from trash-talking each other to the following. "Im out of cigarettes, give me one." "Lets go to the bathroom." "Pick a hero for me." "Do you want instant noodles?" This is the memory of an era, the glory of an era! ... While Lu Xiaobu was playing games. The number of reviews and rating of LOL began to rise! However, the rating didnt increase by much. It just went from the initial 1.1 to 1.5! No way around it, there were too many malicious negative reviews before, now they still cant be shaken off. But, this rating increase is quite solid, keeping on rising! 1.5...1.8...2.0...2.2...2.5 Not much, but the number of reviews indeed increased a lot. Those malicious reviews have been drowned out. Now the visible reviews are like this. Fair reviews. "This game is so good, whether its fairness or playability, both are very high, Im addicted!" "Thats right, Im addicted too, thumbs up without any explanation!" "If you guys dont play this game, you will definitely regret it!" "Games know no borders; I take back my previous statement saying people from Heavenly Dynasty cant make good games!" "Thats right, this person from Heavenly Dynasty is a genius, no, this is the power of Qi!" "..." Holding the fort for negative reviews. "Damn, a stupid game made by people from Heavenly Dynasty, I only..." "Stop commenting above, my Ashe plays super slick, wanna team up?" "Add me! I play Annie! Let me tell you, my ultimate can smack down five with one slap!" The negative reviewer instantly defected! "Keep bragging!" "..." Discussing hero skills. "Card Master is such a cool hero! His skills are amazing, I like to first..." "Actually, Ashe isnt bad either, although this hero seems a bit brain-dead, but..." "The most twisted one is the Chronokeeper, ok? He can revive!" "..." Of course, theres another kind of review, which is the hottest! Thats looking for Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobus nickname is the pinyin Xiaobu. "That Xiaobu, come out! Explain to me, why did you steal my jungle? Clearly, Im the jungler!" "The brother above, you got robbed too? That Xiaobu is too shameless, every time when its time to kill, he appears out of nowhere, with skills he saved up just to steal the kill, so shameless!" "I want to duel him!" "We could have won, its all that damn Xiaobus fault, so hateful! He took the entire teams economy! Ah! I want to kill him!" "..." Countless gaming enthusiasts started frantically calling, recommending this game to their friends! "Hey, Jerry, hurry up and play League of Heroes, Im waiting for you!" "What? That game made by someone from Heavenly Dynasty? Im not playing! What a piece of trash game!" "Dang it, if you keep spewing crap, were not brothers anymore, hurry up and come over, stop playing that Steel game from Mechanical Company, thats the real trash game. If you play a round of League of Heroes, youll be hooked, and Ill call you daddy!" "Really? That crazy? Alright, Ill download it and check it out!" "..." With time fermenting, just one night. League of Heroes swept through America like wildfire! Countless Americans were intoxicated by it, lost sleep over it, and even yelled at their girlfriends ready to get it on"Scram, Im playing League of Heroes!" That night, there was only one topic in AmericaLeague of Heroes! It swept through all the major news, forcing all the media to report on it! "Phenomenal GameLeague of Heroes" "The Heavenly Dynastys Absolute Creativity Will Make League of Heroes Go Global" "My God, are Heavenly Dynasty people really that terrifying?" "Is this also the power of Qi?!" ... "Oh, my God! This..." Green went crazy watching this scene, his hands trembling! Although he was optimistic about this game, he did not expect it to be this amazing! He looked towards the boss who was cursing while gaming and didnt give a damn about anythingLu Xiaobu! He remembered the indifferent look on Lu Xiaobus face when he saw the negative reviews! An involuntary shiver went down his spine! Could it be that all Heavenly Dynasty people really know Kung Fu? And even have the ability to predict the future?! The power of... Qi... Qi?! ... Mechanical Company. Smith sat on the ground in defeat, muttering to himself: "I shouldnt have listened to those above, trying to tough it out against this Heavenly Dynasty person, I knew they could fly, knew Kung Fu, and had the Strength to rise!" Suddenly, he remembered something. Lu Xiaobu once said he would make him kneel and call him daddy! To be honest, he never took that seriously. After all, even if he lost, he wouldnt call someone else, especially a Heavenly Dynasty person, daddy! But! He recalled the fear of being dominated by Lu Xiaobu he saw on "Henry Says"! That mysterious Strength could probably cost him his life! So! He rushed to Wrist Strength Company as fast as he could! Without saying another word! "Thud!" He knelt on both knees: "Daddy!" "Scram!" Lu Xiaobu was in the middle of gaming. "Yes!" Smith fled ecstatically! Hahaha, I survived! Heavenly Dynasty people are truly generous!!! "Uh..." Green watched his rival rush in, kneel and call daddy, then leave overjoyed. His mind immediately went blank! What the hell was that?! He really wanted to express his feelings right now. Oh right, the bosss bodyguard had taught him a phrase. What was it again? Oh, right, "ball ache!" Both balls ache! ... "Boss, the closed beta is going great, were totally ready for open beta!" Green said excitedly: "All Americans are already hopelessly immersed in League of Heroes, I believe once League of Heroes truly goes into open beta, it will definitely go viral nationwide!" "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and snapped his fingers: "Go, prepare a press conference!" "Ah?" Green was stupefied but still replied: "Yes, boss." Green left, but Liang Lan and the others became anxious. "Young Master, what are you up to?!" Liang Lan swallowed and asked. The Young Master usually didnt like to seek the limelight, but once he did, that meant the Young Master was up to something! "Hehe!" Lu Xiaobu revealed a cheeky smile and said nothing! Americans insulted me, insulted Heavenly Dynasty, and they think it can end just like that?! What a joke! Im going to show you what true despair is! Chapter 196 What is Despair? 【Please Favorite, Please Recommend】 Chapter 196: Chapter 196 What is Despair? Please Favorite, Please RecommendUnder Greens preparation, the press conference began! There were a lot of people at this press conference. No need to mention the reporters, although they were many, they only occupied less than one percent of the crowd. The majority at the event were players drawn today by the League of Heroes, as well as various gaming companies from America! The crowd was truly a sea of people, with loud drums and bustling noise. Not to mention, this press conference was being broadcast live throughout the evening. In other words, every League of Heroes player was paying attention to this press conference! Its fair to say, this press conference captured the attention of the whole of America. Even the FBI showed up! They stood by the side of the conference, even getting their guns ready! They sternly warned Green that if a chaotic scene like the last "Henry Speaks" event happened again, they would take enforcement action! Green kept nodding his head in agreement. Actually, he was also sweating internally, unsure of what the boss was up to. But looking at the expressions of the people beside the bosswell, it didnt seem like anything good! "Cough cough, can everyone hear me?" Lu Xiaobu coughed twice. Liang Lan translated in real-time on the side! Everyone nodded, indicating they could hear. "Great, you can ask any questions, and after youre done, I will make an announcement!" Lu Xiaobu continued. "I have a question." A blonde female reporter raised her hand! "Please ask." Lu Xiaobu nodded slightly. "I am a reporter from Global Daily, and as far as I understand, it seems all the creative ideas for League of Heroes were yours. Id like to ask, as someone from the Heavenly Dynasty, how do you achieve such high standards in gaming?" The blonde reporter threw out the first sharp question. Meaning, she was questioning the gaming standards of the Heavenly Dynasty! She wasnt worried Lu Xiaobu would mention something like the power of Qi. Because they had all been warned by the FBI, not to bring up anything related to that matter today! "Thats a good question because the Heavenly Dynasty is the best in the world, alright, thats my answer!" Lu Xiaobu responded succinctly. "Me!" The blonde reporter nearly spat blood! Is that considered answering the question?! Youre blatantly glorifying your own country in front of the American people, thats just shameless!" "Next." Lu Xiaobu didnt give her a chance to speak again! "Hello, I am a reporter from Time Magazine, and I want to ask, since the ideas are yours, why does the League of Heroes completely follow our Western art style? Or is it that the ideas arent actually yours!?" A brown-haired man stood up and asked. Still a sharp question! "Um, people from the Heavenly Dynasty are omnipotent! Next." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Pff!" The brown-haired reporter also felt like spitting blood, thats too much! "Hello, I would like to know, will the League of Heroes be free-to-play?" Finally, someone asked a question about the League of Heroes. They could see that if they continued asking those sharp questions, Lu Xiaobus responses would forever champion the invincibility of the Heavenly Dynasty! So, they gave up! Really, after so many years dominating in the journalism field, they had never encountered such a blunt person! "It wont be, free for life, although some items and skins will still be charged." Lu Xiaobu nodded, seriously answering the query. Upon hearing this news. Suddenly, all League of Heroes players went wild! "Thats awesome! I absolutely adore this person from the Heavenly Dynasty!" "Ive decided Im not playing other games anymore, just League of Heroes!" "People from the Heavenly Dynasty are the best!" "Whoever dares to speak ill of Lu Xiaobu, Ill fight them with my life!" "..." Who says only people from the Heavenly Dynasty love money and become reckless at the mention of freebies?! Fact proves, people around the world are the same! Everyone becomes person who drops their principles when they hear free! The press conference continues. "So how many heroes will League of Heroes have?" "Cant say too many, but there will at least be around one hundred and forty or fifty, and each hero has unique skills, unique gameplay, unique voices, and backstories. We will later build a vast world view of League of Heroes so that everyone can truly understand the stories of these heroes!" Lu Xiaobu answered this question seriously. The players of League of Heroes exploded in excitement once again! "Oye, well done Wrist Strength Company, well done Lu Xiaobu, I love companies with such vitality!" "One hundred and forty or fifty heroes, awesome! Im going to play every single one of them!" "Oh, forget free, really, even if its paid Im going to play!" Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Im really looking forward to what kind of heroes will come out later!" "..." The reporter continued to ask: "When will the servers start to open globally?" "After the public beta, we will try to enter a second country within a year." Lu Xiaobu nodded. The American players of League of Heroes were thrilled! "Great, it looks like we Americans can dominate this year!" "I absolutely love this person from Heavenly Dynasty, I wouldnt mind getting involved with him." "My God, Heavenly Dynasty doesnt have it! Only we in America do, this feels great!" "By the way, Lu Xiaobu, wont he be scolded by people from Heavenly Dynasty?" "..." Most of the questions at the scene were pretty much similar, the rest were much of the same. So, Lu Xiaobu cleared his throat: "Now, can all the players of League of Heroes answer me, is League of Heroes fun?" "Fun!" A huge cheer erupted at the scene! Not only there! All over America, everyone watching the live broadcast also let out a deafening roar! Its only right to support him since hes treated them this way! Lu Xiaobu: "Do you want to keep playing?" League of Heroes players: "Yes!" Lu Xiaobu: "Good, then I have an important decision to announce! Listen carefully!" League of Heroes players: "Yes, were listening!" Lu Xiaobu: "From now on..." League of Heroes players sat up straight. "Starting..." League of Heroes players perked up their ears. "The American server of League of Heroes..." League of Heroes players swallowed their saliva, extremely excited! They thought Lu Xiaobu was about to say, officially open the server! Fantastic, absolutely fantastic! They were so excited they almost wanted to grab the person next to them and kiss them! Some audience even couldnt hold back and wanted to rush to the stage to kiss Lu Xiaobu! They absolutely adored this man from Heavenly Dynasty! Then! Lu Xiaobu announced the last two words: "Shut down!" Silence! At this moment, all of America fell silent! A deathly silence! Their minds couldnt quite comprehend! No, they must have heard wrong! Did Lu Xiaobu say, starting now, the American server of League of Heroes is shutting down?!! Shut down?! Did he misspeak?! Maybe Lu Xiaobu got too excited and misspoke! However. Lu Xiaobu immediately gave them a firm answer, and a heart-wrenching critical hit! At that moment, many wanted to die! Whats called despair? This moment is despair! Chapter 198 American President? No Show【Please Bookmark, Please Recommend】 Chapter 198: Chapter 198 American President? No ShowPlease Bookmark, Please RecommendThe press conference was over. Under the escort of the Huaqing Gang and the FBI, the delegation returned to the embassy. Everyone except for Lu Xiaobu was sweating bullets. They didnt expect these people to be so crazy! Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Not long after they got back. "Uh, Xiaobu, the President of America wants to see you!" Zhang Baijun said with a pained expression. He was really at his wits end! Even the President of America had been alerted! Lu Xiaobu, how much more can you stir things up?! Youre unquestionably the first of your kind, unparalleled in history. "Not seeing him." Lu Xiaobu curled his lips: "I want to eat mapo tofu tonight." "You and your damn tofu." Zhang Baijun exploded: "Thats the President of America! He wants to see you and you refuse?! I can hardly even get a meeting on usual days!" What a man of dignity he is! Now hes swearing because of Lu Xiaobu, pushed to his limit! You can imagine how angry he is! Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "What does the President of America want with me?" "He must want to talk about the League of Heroes!" Zhang Baijun said: "I just dont understand why you refuse to set up servers in America. Even if America and the Heavenly Dynasty opened servers at the same time, it wouldnt be a problem for you!" "Right, its indeed not a problem," Lu Xiaobu shrugged: "But I dont want to, what can you do about it! Mapo tofu, hurry it up!" "I" Zhang Baijun was livid! He was about to add more, but then his phone rangit was a call from back home. He calmed himself down and stepped aside to take the call. Ten minutes later... "Cough cough cough, do you want anything else besides mapo tofu?" Zhang Baijun approached with an ingratiating smile: "My spicy chicken is also a rare treat, you know. I have two bottles of Moutai here, how about a couple of drinks?" "Huh?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow: "What, theyre not letting me meet the President of America now?!" "Let whoever wants to see him see him, we wont." Zhang Baijun said confidently with a wave of his hand. He had just received a call from home. They were asking what had happened over here! Suddenly a huge number of people were applying for immigration?! And among them were talents with advanced technology. The introduction of these talents was absolutely beneficial to domestic development! Let alone many, just getting one would be a huge gain! So the homeland issued a firm order, no matter what happens, keep them! Hearing this, what more needed to be said by Zhang Baijun?! Whats most important is the homeland, not the President of America! Now, Lu Xiaobu is the most important! So thats it, not to mention mapo tofu, as long as its not phoenix marrow or unicorn flesh, he would get it for Lu Xiaobu! Thus, a delicious dinner was prepared! ... Yeah, they were enjoying their sumptuous meal! The President of America was fuming! "What!? I, as the President of America, got rejected by some spoiled brat!?" The President of America was livid! Looking around the world, how many people are there that he would lower himself to meet?! Let alone seeing them in person, he was outright rejected! Except for Lu Xiaobu, there surely wouldnt be a second person like this! Truthfully, the President of America was so angry that he almost straight-up ordered Lu Xiaobus arrest! But he couldnt do that! Lu Xiaobu was now in the Heavenly Dynastys embassy, after all. Even if he sent someone over, it would only bring shame upon himself! "Go, restrict immigration, double the review time, and then notify the Heavenly Dynasty, tell them that I want to visit China!" The President of America gritted his teeth and told his secretary. Right now, he really wanted to curse somebody out! Never ever has such a small matter, because of a game, caused such a tremendous stir! ... After spending a few days in America, it was time for Lu Xiaobu to prepare for his return home! Yan Honghai from the Huaqing Gang personally came with people to send him off. No way around it, the gamers in America were too crazy. For several days now, there has been a constant stream of people following Lu Xiaobu. Some wanted to kidnap him, some wanted to curry favor, some even wanted to strike him down. Without their protection, who knows what could have happened! "Here, this is for you." Lu Xiaobu pulled out an Immortal Bean and tossed it to Yan Honghai. As the protection and services of the Huaqing Gang had indeed been decent during this time, many things couldnt have been done without them. So, in accordance with his promise, Lu Xiaobu gave Yan Honghai an Immortal Bean. "That, Young Master Lu, about the poison inside..." Yan Honghai rubbed his hands and spoke nervously. These past few days he had been truly living in fear. Initially, when he was watching "Henry Talks," he almost passed out from shock! After all, he still had poison in his system, if something happened to Lu Xiaobu. No, lets not even talk about something happening, just being captured for three days could have taken his life! Therefore, he rushed to the embassy himself and informed Zhang Baijun about the Henry Talks and Lu Xiaobus identity. Thats what enabled Zhang Baijun to arrive in time, saving Lu Xiaobu! Otherwise, do you guys think Zhang Baijun could have arrived at the scene of "Henry Talks" so promptly?! I thought everything was settled! But then, a few days ago, this Mister Lu held another press conference! My god, he almost scared me to death! Seriously, at that moment, I was prepared to bring arms to rescue him! If anything went wrong, Id be buried along with him! After working diligently and suffering until today, Mister Lu was finally leaving, and I could finally take a deep breath! However, what puzzled him was... For some reason, the antidote Lu gave him every three days never seemed to be the same thing. Sometimes it was a leaf, sometimes a pinch of powder, and once it was even a bowl of rice. Could there be many different kinds of antidote?! Forget it, I wont think about it. Mister Lu is leaving, I better figure out how to secure the antidote from this Divine Medicine. "Oh, right, the antidote, right." Lu Xiaobu remembered, patted his body, found a mint candy: "Here, your antidote." "Uh..." Yan Honghai fell into silence. Young Master Lu, perhaps I shouldnt doubt! But why do I always feel that you are brushing me off?! Lu Xiaobu didnt care, he boarded the plane and left. Explaining about the antidote is such a hassle, better not to explain at all! Its pretty good this way. After all, whenever I want to come to America, I can just tell Yan Honghai that the antidote in that piece of mint candy has an expiration date. Yeah, thats a good plan! Just not sure what Yan Honghais going to look like when he finds out the truth! ... After landing. Stepping onto the familiar land, the group of people instantly let out a sigh of relief. Its so much more comfortable back in the country! "By the way, system, hows the cultivation technique you prepared for Zhang Meng?" Lu Xiaobu asked the system while on his way home. "Its ready. The True Martial Technique is absolutely the best suited for Zhang Meng. It is a pure martial-art-based cultivation technique, fierce and domineering. Though it lacks the variety and unpredictability of the Green Emperor Longevity Technique, it possesses the valor to stand alone against ten thousand, a perfect match for Zhang Meng." The system transferred the prepared True Martial Technique to Lu Xiaobu. Hmm, this time it isnt in physical form! However, when they got home, they couldnt find any trace of Zhang Meng! Chapter 199 Where is Zhang Meng【Please favorite, please recommend】 Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Where is Zhang MengPlease favorite, please recommendBack at home, Zhang Meng, who usually stood guard at the door all the time, was nowhere to be seen. "Where is Zhang Meng?" Lu Xiaobu was taken aback: "Zhang Meng usually doesnt go out!" "Perhaps he went out with Uncle Lu and the others, I see Uncle Lus car is also not here." Liang Lan looked at the garage and said. When shes not here, many things have to be handled by Brother Lu and Uncle Lu together. She guessed they must have been very busy while she followed Young Master out! "Yeah, possibly." Lu Xiaobu nodded his head in agreement. Indeed, if Brother and Second Brother were not around, there was no need for Zhang Meng to stay at home. "Then Young Master, Ill go get things ready for League of Heroes, quickly get the game launched." Liang Lan took a sip of water and immediately added, "And also check on the current situation of our businesses." "Go ahead, go ahead." Lu Xiaobu yawned and said. With Liang Lan around, these things never required his worry. Comfortable! "Well then, Im off." Liang Lan left the villa in a hurry to get busy. "Xiaobu, Im going home to check." Wu Qianmin also said goodbye, it was time for her to go home and report back after being out for a few days. "Go ahead." Lu Xiaobu waved another goodbye. "Im off to check if the things we bought have arrived." Lu Xiaobu thought the fiery girl might stay. But the fiery girl also left. They bought a lot of stuff from America, including many luxury items which had difficult approval processes. So, they asked Zhang Baijun to help ship them back. Naturally, Zhang Baijun willingly promised, assuring a quick delivery. "Alright, alright, go on." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. Well, not one person was left. As everyone left, Lu Xiaobu felt tired too and went upstairs to sleep, also to adjust to the time difference. ... Time moved on to the evening. Lu Xiaobu was watching TV. The Lu family came back home. "Xiaobu, youre back!" Lu Hongbin was the first to walk in, came over to Lu Xiaobu, looked him up and down, comparing their height, pinching his arms. "Big Brother, whats this? Are you prepping for the New Year, planning to butcher me for meat or something?" Lu Xiaobu helplessly let him be. "Nonsense, what are you talking about. You think youre a New Year pig!" Lu Hongbin laughed and scolded: "You rascal, its your first time going far away since you were little, and it was so sudden without any notice, do you know how worried we were?" Lu Wenhao also came over and gave Lu Xiaobu a knock on the head: "Not even a phone call. Do you know how worried dad was?" "Hey, be gentle." Mr. Lu frowned immediately: "Be careful or Ill hit you." "Alright, alright, my fault." Lu Wenhao raised his hands in surrender: "Trying to vent for you, and even that was wrong, not to mention who was grumbling every night wanting to spank Xiaobu." "Uh... no way!" Lu Xiaobu quickly stepped back: "Im too old for a spanking! Too humiliating!" "Alright, I didnt say Id spank you." Mr. Lu rolled his eyes: "Stand properly, let me have a look." "Uh... alright, my fault. Go ahead and check!" Lu Xiaobu bowed his head acknowledging his mistake. He indeed hadnt considered everything thoroughly. He just left impulsively. Without considering how his family might feel. Mainly, he forgot what his health was like before. Back then, even going to the city required approval, let alone going abroad which was totally out of the question. This time was truly a record-breaking event! "Alright, not bad, seems a bit tanned." Mr. Lu patted Lu Xiaobus head: "You probably didnt eat well there. Come, Ill cook myself, lets have a good meal together." Sar?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Alright, the food over there really isnt tasty." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Far in America, working to the bone for Lu Xiaobu and catching a cold, Zhang Baijun heavily sneezed: "Whos talking about me!?" "Big brother, where are you guys going?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "We, we are going to propose a marriage for big brother." Lu Wenhuo didnt wait for Lu Hongbin to answer and immediately jumped in. "Oh!" Lu Xiaobu then let out a meaningful sound. "Oh my arse! And you, Lu Wenhuo, always so talkative!" Lu Hongbins face turned red, his head swelling. "Alright, alright, lets not talk about this. What about Zhang Meng? Has he not returned yet?!" Lu Xiaobu looked towards the entrance and spoke. Zhang Meng should have come in by now, even if he was just parking! He was still waiting to hand over the "True Martial Technique" to Zhang Meng. "Zhang Meng?! He didnt go with us." Lu Hongbin was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You didnt know, right? Zhang Meng is ultimately your man; we are not used to communicating with him. Later, I heard his mother was in the hospital, so I let him go back to be with his mother. However, he still comes over twice every day to check in." "Oh?!" Lu Xiaobu nodded, showing understanding. After all, the lives of big brother, second brother, and dad are mostly fixed. Unlike him, who lives a carefree life, Zhang Meng really didnt need to follow him around 24/7. However, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of eeriness. So, he asked one more question: "He comes every day?" "In the past few days, he came every day, just not yesterday and today, perhaps hes been busy." Lu Hongbin said nonchalantly. "Uh?" Lu Xiaobus brows furrowed deeply. Such irresponsibility and impetuous behavior didnt seem like Zhang Meng! Could something have happened with his mother? "Dad, Im not eating, Im going out for a bit." Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobu lost his appetite. "Where are you going? You just got back." Lus father asked as he walked out of the kitchen holding a spoon. "Im going to check on Zhang Mengs mother, to see if something happened." Lu Xiaobu said while putting on his shoes. "Oh, okay, take care. Drive slowly, and if everything is okay, call them all back for dinner." Upon hearing this, Lus father immediately agreed. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu responded. Li Jin watched this scene quietly, feeling very content what moves people the most are not the grand gestures, but these small moments of concern. It was because of such a Young Master that he and the instructor chose to devote their lives and faith to the Young Master! ... Li Jin drove the car, taking Lu Xiaobu to the hospital. They arrived at Zhang Mengs mothers ward. "Benefactor, youre here!" Seeing Lu Xiaobu, Zhang Mengs mother immediately got out of bed. "Auntie, please lie down, lie down." Lu Xiaobu quickly said. "Its okay, my body is remarkably robust now. The doctor said he has never seen anyone recover as well as I have." Zhangs mother was still so hearty. She refused to lie down and even grabbed an apple to peel for Lu Xiaobu. How could she lie down when their entire familys lives were saved by Lu Xiaobu? Zhangs mother was very happy, but Lu Xiaobus brows were getting tighter! This ward showed no signs of Zhang Meng being there. This meant that the claim of Zhang Meng being with his mother was a lie. So the question arises, why? Why would Zhang Meng, a filial son and a loyal retainer, choose to deceive both his mother and Lu Hongbin simultaneously? The unease in Lu Xiaobus heart grew stronger!

From the names alone, you can hear how mystical and magnificent this mountain range is! Right now, in a small, inconspicuous valley far from human habitation, a large crowd had gathered. They lined both sides of the valley according to its orientation! Most of them wore training clothes, with upright figures, whether tall or short, fat or thin, each had a unique aura! However... At this moment, their eyes were filled with murderous intent, staring fixedly at the person slowly walking into the valley from its mouth! That person wore a tight black tank top and camouflage pants, his exposed skin covered in scars, which clashed with the atmosphere here! His face showed neither sadness nor joy, his eyes serene like water, but it wasnt the Buddhist calm of seeing through the vanity of the world; it was more akin to the obsessed calm of someone engulfed by demonsthere was nothing in his eyes except for what he cared about! Indeed, this person was Zhang Meng! ... Zhang Meng trudged forward with footsteps like a walking corpse, heading into the valley. The hostile glares of those before him, he ignored. There was only one thing in his heartto become stronger! To become stronger in order to protect the Young Master! Since the Young Master had left, he began searching for ways to grow stronger. But he was too slow-witted, and moreover, he was reclusive; apart from familiar faces, he was almost silent. So, he didnt find a way. sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But then, he thought of one. There was still a method. That wasfighting! Fighting may not be the most effective method, but it was surely the simplest and most direct one! Just then, he suddenly heard that there would be a small-scale Martial Arts Festival happening in Taihang Mountain! So, there was no need for more talk, fighting would settle it! Since he couldnt find a true master of martial arts, he could only start by challenging smaller Martial Arts Halls! However, what he didnt expect was that this would stir up a hornets nest. But this fell right into his plans! ... At this moment. He had already walked into the valley! "Zhang Meng, after this Martial Arts Festival ends, you and I must have a showdown!" a man stepped out at the mouth of the valley on the left side, performing the salute with his fists! The salute with fists! Right fist to left palmdetermined to spar! Left palm to right fistdetermined to fight to the death! This was the salute with the right fist to the left palm! Determined to spar! Zhang Meng didnt lift his head and continued forward. This was someone from the Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall, and it was the first hall he had challenged; that day, he had injured seven people! ... "Zhang Meng, my Li Family Boxing Gym and you cannot coexist under the same sky!" a person on the right, with a salute of fists, right fist to left palmdetermined to fight to the death! Zhang Meng stepped forward, passing by the Li Family Boxing Gym. This belonged to the Li Family Boxing Gym; during his first challenge to the Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall, among those he injured was a son-in-law of the Li Family. Thus, the Li Family intercepted him halfway later on! That day, he injured eighteen people! ... "Zhang Meng, dont be so arrogant; this isnt a place you can come to!" the second person on the left pointed his index finger, without performing a salute. Zhang Mengs gaze lifted slightly, serene yet sharp. This was the Taichang Martial Arts Hall, self-proclaimed guardians of the Martial Arts World. Hearing of his hall challenges, in order to make an impression at this Martial Arts Festival, they took action against him. That day, they ended up with fifteen lightly injured, two severely injured! And he had taken a palm strike to his hand, which was still not moving freely to this day! ... "Zhang Meng, youre not a martial artist, yet you dare to break the rules of Martial Arts; what should be your punishment!?" the second person on the right glared ferociously, almost ready to strike. Zhang Mengs mouth twitched, a mix of a smile and a sob, seething with aggression! Xin Meng Martial Arts School. After they heard about his challenges, in order to improve their reputation at this Martial Arts Festival, they tried to recruit him, but he refused. Enraged by the rejection, harboring a if I cant have it, no one can mentality, they attacked! In that battle, he was ambushed with steel weapons, breaking his forearm! And the other side ended up with eight severely injured, nearly on their deathbeds! ... "Zhang Meng, listen to my advice, this isnt right. Go back!" sighed a clean and rugged old man with white hair, full of regrets. Zhang Meng nodded in acknowledgment, his eyes showing goodwill. This old man, upon hearing what had happened before, intervened! Setting a wager! "If Zhang Meng wins, I will tell him the address of the Martial Arts Festival!" "If Zhang Meng loses, he must leave!" In that battle, Zhang Meng won! But at the cost of three broken ribs! The old man, completely unharmed! ... Continue to move forward. Zhang Meng felt as though he was walking through the vicissitudes of life! Those who cursed him. "Zhang Meng, this is simply a rogue move, using lethal techniques against our martial artists, youre shameless!" Those who hated him. "Zhang Meng, do you think you can play the hero by coming here? Let me tell you, forget about it!" Those who insulted him. "Zhang Meng, as a soldier, even though youve retired, you still should not behave so improperly, disgraceful!" Those who advised him. "Zhang Meng, why bother! Youre just wasting your efforts!" Those who scorned him. "Pah! Trash!" With every Martial Arts Hall he passed, the scenes from the past would reappear in his mind. Of course, some of the wounds on his body that were already hurting would hurt even more! But the pain in his body was far less than the pain in his heart! Because. He had given so much, yet he had not become stronger! Not at all!! He was still so weak! He still couldnt protect the Young Master! He was incompetent, he was a disgrace! He was a fool!! But he didnt want to give up! He still had a chance! That was at the end of this road! At the end of this road was the strongest person of this festival, and that person was there! He wanted to challenge that person! Even though he was already battered and bruised, he still wanted to challenge him! In this not too long valley, he seemed to be walking step by step towards an abyss! He knew he had become obsessed! But he had to! He wanted the Young Master to return and look at him with satisfaction, saying, "Yes, Zhang Meng, youve become stronger!" Protecting the Young Master was his responsibility! His mission!!! At all costs! Even if this time, he might die!! ... "Youve arrived." A middle-aged man in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze slightly shifted towards Zhang Meng, "You should leave! Even at your peak, you were not my opponent, let alone now. Leave now, and I wont hold you accountable for disturbing the Martial Arts Festival. Go!" Upon hearing this, the people around immediately stirred! "Master Wu! You cant do this!" "This cannot be! This man has disrupted the Martial Arts Festival; he must be taught a lesson!" "Yes, especially since hes overestimated himself, challenging your dignity, he must be taught a lesson!" "..." "My mind is made up, no need for further talk." Master Wu waved his hand dismissively and turned away: "You, leave!" "Come, fight!" Zhang Mengs gaze remained unchanging, slightly struggling to raise his fists, clenched! "Bold! I have given you a chance, but you are so ignorant of whats good for you; you are simply seeking death!" Master Wus eyes suddenly blazed with anger: "Then let me show you what a master is! Even if I kill you today, no one can find fault with me!" The crowd around them immediately shouted loudly. "Master Wu, mighty!" "Master Wu, teach him a lesson!" "..." "Come, fight!" Zhang Meng repeated his words. "Good!" Master Wu said coldly, and then with a voice audible only to the two of them, he coldly said: "Fierce Tiger War God, do you remember the little girl from a few years ago?!" "What?!" Zhang Mengs pupils dilated instantly! "Boom!" Master Wu struck out with a palm: "You, youre still so foolish!" Chapter 201 I Want to Beat Him【For the Unrestrained. Reward for More Updates】 Chapter 201: Chapter 201 I Want to Beat HimFor the Unrestrained. Reward for More UpdatesUpon hearing those words, the disoriented Zhang Meng was sent flying with a slap from Master Wu. "Crack!" He clearly heard several of his own ribs breaking! Even the broken ribs had penetrated his internal organs! But none of these mattered to him, his eyes wide open like a bulls, clutching his chest, lying on the ground, he stared intently at Master Wu in front of him: "Who are you!? Why do you know her!" "Let me remind you, I am Wu Kun!" Wu Kun squatted down, looking at Zhang Meng. "Wu Kun, then Wu Qian..." Zhang Meng took a deep breath, a sharp pain emanating from his chest. "Correct, hes my brother." Wu Kun smiled broadly, his gaze sharp as a knife: "The person you killed, he was my brother, my own brother!" "He deserved to die!" Zhang Meng grimaced, enduring the pain, yet spoke with a firm tone. He would never forget that day. He had just returned from a mission, and as his vehicle passed by a building, a beautiful life plummeted before him! It was a little girl, a little girl who, in her despair, could only choose to jump off the building to commit suicide! A mere fourteen-year-old little girl! At that moment, it felt like fate! A blood and tear-stained suicide note landed on his face. This was the last writing of a girl violated and pushed into despair! It was densely filled with everything from the beginning of her disarray, blurred with blood and tears... To the end, where she became a bystander, recording everything. He would never forget the last lineCCI finally became sick, I finally became useless, he finally told me that I could go die! What kind of despair could produce such a suicide note?! At that moment, his teeth were almost shattered! He impulsively rushed into action while still lucid, making a calm judgement! He would kill that bastard! He did it, even though that man was very strong, but having just completed a mission, he had weapons! It was also because of this that he retired, moved to Mu City, and led a life of starvation and cold until he met the Young Master! "Deserved to die?!" Wu Kun laughed, a laugh so cruel: "So do you deserve to die!!" "Let me tell you, today everything was a trap set by me! You wouldnt have guessed!" "Ever since you appeared in Imperial that time, I set my sights on you." "It was I who let someone tell you about the Martial Arts Festival here." "It was I who guided you step by step to challenge the arenas." "Otherwise, why do you think everyone you encountered was devoid of martial gratitude?!" "You might ask why I didnt just kill you directly." "No worries, Ill tell you!" "Because, I wanted to kill you without any sense of guilt!" "Oh, by the way, you should know the rules of Martial Arts, after all, you were spared a death and even kept this off your record because my brother was a martial artist!" "This also led to my brother not even having a proper funeral!" "So, I set this trap!" "That way, you challenging the Martial Arts Festival, challenging me, also deserved to die!" "Then, after your death, I will publicly take your head to pay homage to my brother. Ill give him a splendid funeral!" "Are you satisfied with this reason?" Wu Kuns laughter was so cruel, so delighted! The phrase right and proper had been utterly defiled by him! "I understand." Zhang Meng nodded, his gaze returning to calm. "What do you mean!?" Wu Kun suddenly exploded: "What does your calmness mean!?" "Murder for a life, it should be so, go ahead!" For some reason, at this moment, the carefree smile of Lu Xiaobu flashed through Zhang Mengs mind. So, he smiled. Young Master, Im sorry I couldnt see you for the last time. Please take good care of my mother. Actually, I dont need to say much, Young Master, you will surely take care of her even better than me, her own son! "No!" Wu Kun suddenly roared. Before, he had a calm expression and a soft voice, only the two of them knew what they were talking about. Because, as he said, he would deal with Zhang Meng openly and fairly! But at this moment, he couldnt care about that anymore. He grabbed Zhang Meng by the chest and shook him violently, "You hate me, hate me! Why dont you hate me!!!" He couldnt accept it, couldnt accept Zhang Mengs calm gaze! He had set a trap, he had won, but he had not earned the hatred of his enemy! This made him very angry! "Cough cough cough!" Under the violent shaking, Zhang Mengs ribs, already piercing his organs, stirred even more, causing him to cough up fresh blood! But his gaze remained calm, his smile growing even more brilliant: "Do you want to know why?" "Tell me!" Wu Kun asked through gritted teeth. "I wont tell you! Hahaha!" Zhang Meng burst into laughter. Young Master, I have learned another move! "Ill kill you!" Wu Kun roared. He was furious! This Zhang Meng isnt stupid at all! Why is he being so insufferable in this respect! "You touch my men and see!" Lu Xiaobus icy voice came through. "Who!" Wu Kun suddenly looked up! Immediately, he saw Lu Xiaobu, along with Li Jin, striding forward! The Martial Artists under Wu Kuns command began to make their moves to stop them! "Seeking death!" "Today, really everyone is coming to seek death!" "No matter who you are, prepare to die!" "..." Without needing orders, Li Jin saw Zhang Mengs condition and his eyes were already red! Now he was going all out. His attacks inflicted severe injuries! The fierce Martial Artists around were instantly beaten to vomiting blood and collapsed on the ground, barely keeping a fraction of their breath! "Young Master!" Zhang Meng, hearing Lu Xiaobus voice, struggled to turn his head! At this moment, this iron-blooded man who could still laugh under the threat of death... S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Cried! Tears instantly soaked his fierce eyes. At this moment, he cried like a child! "Young Master, Im useless, I failed to do it, Im still so weak! I..." The pain and the choking made it impossible for him to speak, he could only let tears stream down! He might not care about his life, he might not care about everything. But this, he couldnt not care about! Because this is his life, his faith, his everything! Do you ask if Lu Xiaobu is moved? No, Lu Xiaobu wants to slap him now! Slap this bastard to death! If it wasnt for timely discovery, they would be separated by life and death today! Lu Xiaobu: "System, can Immortal Bean save him?" "The Immortal Bean can only heal external injuries, but with the combination of True Martial Technique, it could work since the True Martial Technique is about breaking and then establishing. If he can make a breakthrough in the first layer with the support of Immortal Bean, he can make it!" The system said directly. "Alright!" Lu Xiaobu nodded: "System, pass the True Martial Technique to Zhang Meng!" Then, he said to Li Jin: "Li Jin, give this to Zhang Meng!" He took out the remaining two Immortal Beans and handed them to Li Jin! Immortal Bean is also a plant, though high-grade, it is still substandard. So Li Jins Green Emperor Longevity Technique can be controlled! That Wu Kun, he will not interfere! He wants to let Zhang Meng take action himself! Then! He wants to fiercely slap this bastard Zhang Meng!!! Chapter 202 Did You Transform? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 202: Chapter 202 Did You Transform? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Upon receiving Lu Xiaobus command, Li Jin placed two Immortal Beans in his hand and flicked them with his fingers. The next second, the two Immortal Beans entered Zhang Mengs mouth! The Immortal Beans immediately began to take effect. The external injuries on Zhang Mengs body started to heal bit by bit, and his physical strength was rapidly replenishing! At the same time, the system injected the True Martial Technique into Zhang Mengs mind. Passages of mystical and profound characters began to churn in his mind! These characters seemed to possess some mysterious power, intoxicating him. The experiences of his lifetime began playing one by one in his mind. From the military, to that little girl, from the little girl to the Young Master, and then from the Young Master to now! Each and every frame seemed to ask him, do you regret it?! No, of course not! Especially after meeting the Young Master, there were no regrets at all! He gave an exceedingly affirmative answer! It was as if he had passed an assessment! The characters began to change, extracting energy from his body continuously. And at this time, the Immortal Bean played a great role in replenishing energy! Gradually, under the dual effects of the bean, his broken ribs began to slowly mend, and his damaged organs began to heal step by step! From the expression on Zhang Mengs face, one could tell that this process was not pleasant at all! His body was like a piece of steel, undergoing the torment of blazing fire and the pounding of a hammer! Endure it, and your bones will be like steel, reborn anew. Fail to endure, and youll be like mud, awaiting death. Can Zhang Meng endure it? The answer, of course, is yes! Zhang Mengs body began to molt like a snake! Not only that, black substances started oozing from his pores, followed by gray, then red, and finally white. These colors represented garbage, residue, blood, and Bone Powder! He was undergoing a true transformation! "Damn it, what the hell are you doing!" Wu Kun, who was holding Zhang Meng, felt a surge of rage. He didnt understand why, why as soon as Lu Xiaobu arrived, Zhang Meng began to undergo strange changes without Lu Xiaobu even doing anything! Could it be that Zhang Meng is a robot? As soon as the master arrives and gives the command, hes supposed to transform? What a damn joke! "I dont care whether youre really about to transform or not, go die!" Wu Kun clenched his fist and smashed it down without hesitation toward the Zhang Meng who had his eyes tightly shut. Strike him down while hes sick, take his life! All he regretted right now was talking too much earlier! However! Though Zhang Mengs eyes were closed, his arms, supposedly fractured already, suddenly raised up and grabbed Wu Kuns fist. Fist and palm collided, issuing a muffled sound! "Boom!" At the same moment, Zhang Meng slapped the ground with his other hand, and his massive body floated up as light as a piece of paper, landing steady and safe on the ground! And at this moment, Zhang Meng still hadnt opened his eyes! "Damn it, playing tricks, die!" Wu Kun roared with fury and threw his fist down at Zhang Meng. At the same time, his leg suddenly shot out in a swift kick, aiming forthe groin! His fist was actually just a feint. The real explosive force was in that kick! He was taking advantage of Zhang Meng keeping his eyes shut. However, unexpectedly, Zhang Meng, though not opening his eyes, seemed to see everything. He couldnt neglect the fist above, and his right hand pressed down! "Boom!" Zhang Mengs hand fiercely collided with Wu Kuns foot. Zhang Mengs hand didnt stop there; his left hand snatched at Wu Kuns foot below. A lift, a pull, a push! In an instant! Wu Kuns entire body was surprisingly spun around in the air around that leg as the pivot! Then! Zhang Meng forcefully smashed down! "Boom!" Wu Kuns face fiercely made contact with the ground! Head bloodied. This is not the end yet. Zhang Mengs hands did not slacken at all. His right foot lifted and stomped hard on Wu Kuns kneecap! With both hands, he pulled and then bent! "Crack!" Wu Kuns thigh was forcefully broken by him! Wu Kun endured unbearable pain, but the physical agony was nothing compared to the shock and horror in his mind! What the hell kind of joke is this? Just a moment ago, the guy who was nearly beaten to death now stands up, fine, but... Now hes even fighting him with his eyes closed?! And the strength hes wielding has clearly doubled at least! "Hiss!" The other martial artists who were leisurely watching the battle suddenly inhaled a breath of cold air! Oh my God, what have they discovered? To twist and break a thigh with bare hands?! As the saying goes, "You cant twist an arm to win against a leg." It means that usually, the strength of an arm cannot compare to that of a leg! However! This convention was being shattered right before their eyes! Wu Kuns leg was broken. But Wu Kun was a fierce one! He didnt care about the injury to his right leg, he even actively forced it to twist again! "Ah!" Wu Kun let out another muted shout. The intense pain made his voice pitchy, and his facial features twisted together! However, at this moment, his right leg, under the combined force of himself and Zhang Meng, twisted a full circle. His left leg swung up fiercely, aiming for Zhang Mengs temple with a vicious kick! If this kick landed! He could turn defeat into victory! However, he miscalculated again! Zhang Meng still had his eyes closed, but he still managed to block the attack! Thud Wu Kuns left foot clashed fiercely with Zhang Mengs left hand. Zhang Meng pulled his hand back to dissipate the formidable strength. At that moment, Wu Kuns right leg was in Zhang Mengs right hand, positioned at waist level! And Wu Kuns left leg, at the position of Zhang Mengs temple! Question is, what part of Wu Kun is Zhang Meng facing now? And so! Zhang Meng lifted his leg and aimed a ruthless kick at the front! "Snap!" A complete mess! "Ah!" Wu Kuns scream was heart-wrenchingly miserable, enough to make ones scalp tingle! This place. This is the most painful place for a man! Its not about how deep your kung fu is, one cant simply endure the agony there! Lu Xiaobu looked at Zhang Meng who was still fighting fiercely with his eyes closed and smacked his lips secretly: "System, is the True Martial Technique that awesome?" "Its not that the True Martial Technique is awesome, but the compatibility between the True Martial Technique and Zhang Meng is too high. After all, I chose this cultivation technique very carefully!" The system explained: "Actually, Zhang Meng doesnt know what hes doing right now, everything is an instinctive reaction of his body. Its like hes dreaming, his spirit is learning the True Martial Technique, while his body is automatically resisting the enemy!" "Awesome!" Lu Xiaobu nodded, greatly impressed: "I suddenly realized this cultivation technique is not bad either. If I learn it, can I sleep and fight at the same time?" "Youre thinking too much!" the system said flatly: "Do you have the foundation that Zhang Meng has? Years of military training have ingrained his combat and killing skills deep into his bones." Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Plus, this time hes walked a fine line between life and death, achieving a breakthrough in his state of mind. Thats why he can do this!" "I reckon if it were you, the scene would be you getting beat up by someone!" The system was somewhat anxious, as this host tends to be impulsive. If he really went to learn the True Martial Technique and something went awry, the system wouldnt have any fun left! "Alright, alright, I was just saying. Look at how flustered you are!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. However, he was quite happy inside. Zhang Meng had overcome his mental burdens, and his strength had increased. It was truly a double celebration! Of course, this scumbag Zhang Meng still needed a thrashing! Theres no escaping it! Without giving him a good beating, how can he quell the hatred in his heart? Chapter 203: Just Be Full [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Just Be Full [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]"Huh!" Zhang Meng exhaled deeply, his tiger eyes slowly opening. Instantly, a ray of light as if tangible burst forth, then gradually dimmed. "Eh..." Zhang Meng looked at Wu Kun in his hand, beaten beyond recognition, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "I mean, this wasnt my doing. Do you believe me?" "Do you f***ing think I care if I believe you or not?!" Wu Kun roared on the verge of unconsciousness. It wasnt you who beat me my ass! Could you at least move your foot from underneath me?! "Young Master, I..." Zhang Meng didnt have time to deal with Wu Kun; he looked at Lu Xiaobu and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. "Hmph! Deal with this brat first; Ill be waiting for you back home!" Lu Xiaobu snorted coldly and turned to leave. Li Jin turned his head back, showing a helpless expressionInstructor, youre dead meat! "Eh..." Zhang Meng shivered violently; it seemed he really was done for! The Young Master was truly angry with him! But then again, whatever, he couldnt dwell on that. After all, if the Young Master wanted to punish him, he had to take it. Time to deal with Wu Kun first. Looking at Wu Kun on the ground, Zhang Meng closed his eyes briefly, then opened them, a surge of killing intent emerging. "What do you think youre doing!?" Wu Kun panicked when he saw the murderous intent, realizing that Zhang Meng was truly intending to kill him! While struggling backward, Wu Kun cried out in terror, "Youre a soldier, how can you lay a hand on me? Wheres your conscience? You cant kill me, you cant..." "Crack!" Zhang Meng released Wu Kuns neck, which was now twisted at a ghastly angle. Wu Kun, dead! "People like you pose a threat to the safety of the Young Master." Before his ordeal, Zhang Meng was already not one to dither; after his trial, even less so! Zhang Meng stood up and strode away, leaving behind Wu Kun, who just half an hour ago was arrogantly controlling everything, now with his soul shattered in terror. Oh, right, and also those martial artists who were beaten to a pulp, vomiting blood and at deaths door by Li Jin! But right now, those martial artists... Those who couldnt talk couldnt, and those who could didnt dare to anymore. All of them cowered like quails! Their hearts were nearly bursting from the terrifying pressure! So terrifying! Too terrifying! Their minds were still in a daze! Wasnt Zhang Meng a dead man just moments before? But why? As soon as Lu Xiaobu arrived! Zhang Meng suddenly became like someone who had consumed some Elixir! Not only did he fully recover, but he also underwent a transformation, and he beat Wu Kun to a pulp with his eyes closed?! And now he had even carried out a killing! Watching Zhang Mengs departing figure, the martial artists gulped hard, knowing he was not to be messed with, he was untouchable! The Fierce Tiger War God refreshed his terrifying legend once again! ... However, this Fierce Tiger War God, who had scared the martial artists witless... Once back at home... Was like a child who had done something wrong! Trembling with fear! Lu Xiaobu sat in the main seat at the dining table. Liang Lan on the right, Li Jin on the left. Even the busy Li Xide made time to come back, standing behind Lu Xiaobu. Wu Qianmin and the hot-headed ones knew better than to get involved. This was a tribunal of Lu Xiaobus inner circle! Zhang Meng looked at Lu Xiaobus expression and couldnt help shaking. He raised his head to glance at Liang Lan, giving a pleading look, hoping for her to intercede. Liang Lan shook her head, indicating no forgiveness! Zhang Meng then looked towards Li Jin. Li Jin spread his hands, indicating there was nothing he could do. Finally, Zhang Meng turned to Li Xide. Forget it, his gaze returned. Hey, this got Li Xide quite annoyedHey, Zhang Meng, what do you mean by that!? Just you wait! "Zhang Meng? Anything you want to say?" Lu Xiaobu tapped the table and asked. "No, I was wrong!" Zhang Meng lowered his head: "I accept all of Young Masters punishments." He had figured it out, since begging for mercy was futile, he might as well be forthright and take the beating and the punishment! "Thats better, Sister Lan, serve the food!" Lu Xiaobu nodded and gave the order. "Yes!" Liang Lan immediately took Li Xide to the side and brought out all the prepared exquisite dishes, along with beverages like Coke. They set up a densely packed table. "Gulp!" Smelling the fragrance, Zhang Meng couldnt help but swallow his saliva. His True Martial Technique was about using martial arts to enter the path, so it was different from Li Jins Green Emperor Longevity Technique that could absorb natures spiritual energy. His energy source, up to now, could only come from external energy. And the biggest source of energy was food. Especially since he had just made a breakthrough and was also repairing his body. So, even though he had two Immortal Beans to act as energy sources, he was still very hungry! Now seeing this fragrant and enticing meal, he couldnt stand it anymore! This was even hungrier than the feeling of surviving in the wilderness without eating or drinking for several days! "Young Master, I understand, you want to punish me by not letting me eat, right? I accept!" Zhang Meng swallowed saliva, trying hard not to look at the dishes. Its just skipping a meal, right? He could endure it! Yes, he could! "Not eat? No! Eat, go ahead and eat to your hearts content, I know youre very hungry." Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, then looked to Liang Lan and the others: "Everyone sit down and eat." Each person took their seat and started eating. "Young Master, I... really..." Zhang Meng watched Liang Lan and the others eating, swallowed saliva again, and asked expectantly while pointing at the food. "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders. "Alright, thank you, Young Master." Zhang Meng couldnt hold back anymore. He immediately sat down and started devouring his food like a wolf! He was starving to death! No matter what the subsequent punishment was, filling his stomach was never wrong! Right, he needed to eat more, to store more energy, so his body could endure! So! Crunch, munch, chomp! At the dining table, Zhang Meng was crazily eating. He alone swept through more than half of the tables food, ate a whole pot of rice by himself, and drunk three bottles of Coke! "Burp!" Zhang Meng put down his bowl and let out a satisfied belch! He overate! "Want to eat more? My punishment is about to begin." Lu Xiaobu said to Zhang Meng with a smile. "No, no, Im full!" Zhang Meng waved his hand. "Have another bowl, my punishment can be very physically demanding." Lu Xiaobu stood up, personally scooped a bowl of rice for Zhang Meng, and poured him another glass of Coke. "Young Master!" Zhang Meng quickly stood up. If the Young Master served him food, he had to eat it! So, he gratefully picked up the bowl! Crunch, munch, chomp! Another bowl of rice, and the Coke was gone in one gulp. Now he truly couldnt eat anymore! And he had drunk too much Coke, he even felt like he needed to use the bathroom! But, he held it in, as the Young Masters punishment hadnt been revealed yet, he couldnt leave. "Want more?" A smile appeared on Lu Xiaobus lips. "Enough, Ive had enough." Zhang Meng hurriedly nodded: "Thank you, Young Master, for letting me have a full meal before receiving the punishment, it was worth it!" "Good, if it was worth it, then its good." Lu Xiaobu said with a meaningful tone. At the same time, Liang Lan, Li Jin, including Li Xide all showed meaningful smiles. "Hisss!" Seeing their smiles, Zhang Meng suddenly got the creeps! Had he done something wrong!? Chapter 204 Great Punishment [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Great Punishment [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"What punishment?!" Zhang Meng swallowed hard, feeling ominous. "Its nothing much, just not going to the bathroom for a week, no big or small business. With your current physical condition, itll be easy! Im still quite merciful, right?" Lu Xiaobu nodded and said. Zhang Mengs body has already surpassed that of an ordinary person now, this punishment wont cause him any harm! "Crack!" Zhang Meng felt like a thunderbolt struck his head, his mind went completely blank for a moment. Not going to the bathroom for a week?! A week?! He looked at his bloated stomach, almost bursting into tears! "Young Master, I..." Zhang Meng said pitifully. "What? Do you think my punishment is too harsh?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow as he spoke! "No! No! Not harsh! Not harsh at all!" Zhang Meng quickly shook his head. Its true, it really isnt harsh. If it were before, no, just half an hour ago, this wouldnt even be considered punishment. But! He just had a feast, and drank so much cola, forget about a week, he wants to go to the bathroom right now! Young Master, youve set me up! You definitely did it on purpose. He suddenly remembered the scene when Young Master was kindly serving him food and pouring cola! Immediately, he felt the urge to cry! Turns out, what Young Master served wasnt food, it was poison! "Then carry out the punishment properly! I believe in you!" Lu Xiaobu patted Zhang Mengs shoulder! "I!" Zhang Mengs hands were trembling. Thanks for your trust, Young Master! But, I dont even believe in myself! Can this kind of thing really be endured just by tolerating? "Ah, theres nothing I can do to help you, just take this. Tie it up when you cant hold it anymore!" Liang Lan sighed, took out a rubber band and handed it to Zhang Meng. Zhang Mengs face turned green. Liang Lan, what do you mean?! Is this something you just tie up? Youre too cruel, had I known this, you couldve at least let me eat less, or at least drink less cola! "Coach, this is all I can do. Ive never tried it, but it might help you a bit!" Li Jin pulled out a cork with a sorrowful face, and handed it to Zhang Meng. "Li Jin, I want to strangle you!" Zhang Meng gritted his teeth as he clenched the cork! What do you mean?! You guys are ganging up to bully me, right! Im telling you, Li Jin, if it wasnt for the fact that I cant do intense exercise right now, it might come out. Otherwise, today, wed go all out! "As for me, Brother Meng, Im not like them, gloating over your misery." Li Xide walked over, speaking earnestly. "Xide, its you..." Zhang Meng was immediately moved to tears! Look at Li Xide, then look at Liang Lan and Li Jin? Its a shame they often hang out with Young Master together. Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However... He dared to think this. Then he heard Li Xide say the second half of his sentence: "Ill give you a song then! Yeah, Ill perform it with my whistling!" "Shh!" Li Xide started whistling right after he finished speaking! Yeah, very cheerful! Zhang Meng wanted to die! Whistling at someone who is holding back pee?! He gritted his teeth, squeezed his legs tightly together, staring fiercely at Li Xide: "How do you want to die?!" "Hmph!" Li Xide snorted coldly, continuing to whistle! Making you underestimate me just now. Hmph, as if you hadnt learned something from Young Master like the others! "Pfft!" Liang Lan and Li Jin hid to one side, shaking with laughter, tears streaming down their faces! Li Xide is ruthless enough, never imagined this guy could hold a grudge like that! Because of a glance just now, he played it so ruthlessly! "Cough cough." Lu Xiaobu coughed: "Li Jin, you stay with Zhang Meng for twenty-four hours to prevent him from cheating, of course, I believe Zhang Meng wont cheat." "Yes!" Li Jin immediately spoke. "Young Master, do you believe I can take a beating? With a stick, no, a whip, even a steel whip is okay!" Zhang Meng looked at Lu Xiaobu with a pleading gaze. This was the first time in his life he was asking to be beaten! "How could that be? A man has got to keep his word!" Lu Xiaobu said seriously. "But, Young Master, Im not sure if Ill still be a man a week from now!" Zhang Meng was speechlessly choked up! Bro, dont blame me! Its not that I want to bully you, Im also suffering! "No worries, you definitely are, a real manly man!" Lu Xiaobu affirmed. After speaking, Lu Xiaobu went upstairs! "Pfft! Hahaha!" Liang Lan, Li Jin, and Li Xide couldnt hold it in anymore and burst into loud laughter, slapping the table. "Zhang Meng, come on, take a seat, Ill pour you a drink. You know, I normally only pour drinks for the Young Master." Trying to hold back her laughter, Liang Lan took out a bottle of cola: "Cola is super diuretic!" "Liang Lan, I hate you!" Zhang Mengs face twisted! Anyone who has ever held their pee knows that under such extreme conditions, not just seeing cola but even water intensifies the need to pee! Not to mention, that bastard Li Xide is there whistling! "Huff!" Zhang Meng took a deep breath and closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind! He started turning his grief into Strength, focusing earnestly on studying the True Martial Technique! He believed he would temporarily forget this painful ordeal! Then! Biu Li Jin beside him extended his hand and poked Zhang Mengs abdomen! "Ah!" Zhang Meng let out a mad roar: "Li Jin, Im going to kill you!" Seriously, this too? Not only having to endure Liang Lans attacks on my eyes, Li Xides attacks on my ears! Now even having to endure Li Jins physical attacks! Too much! Way too much! Im about to burst! Young Master, I was wrong! I really was wrong! I shouldnt have been so obstinate, shouldnt have been so paranoid, shouldnt have disregarded your feelings! Young Master, please forgive me! ... Over the next week, Zhang Mengs willpower underwent a qualitative leap! This improvement was almost up to par with that life-and-death battle before! What? You dont believe it? Try this then, hold your pee, 24 hours a day, listening to whistling, looking at cola, and endure someone poking your abdomen occasionally, then youll understand! He even dared not sleep at night! Because once asleep, you might dream. And if you dream, you might dream of swimming pools, bathrooms, and so on! After one week, even though his physical fitness was far above the average person, he still ended up with dark circles under his eyes! Finally, the punishment was over! He dashed to the bathroom with the fastest speed in his life! Swoosh! He looked up at the sky and sighed, body trembling! So refreshing! He had never felt so good in his life! Motherfucker! I was about to die holding it in! After finishing, his body trembled, almost unable to stand! He steadied himself... Calmed his mind... Took a deep breath... "Li Jin, if I kill you! And you, Li! Xide!" Zhang Meng let out a deafening roar and charged at those two bastards! Liang Lan is a girl, spared for now! But these two bastards, no way! Li Jin and Li Xide ran for their lives! "Spare me!" "Instructor! I was wrong!" "Meng bro, I cant handle it!" "Young Master, save us!" "..." Lu Xiaobu sat in the living room, watching this scene, revealing a happy smile! What a great punishment, wasnt it! Chapter 205: Starting College Life [Additional Update for Kōng Kong’s Generous Rewards] Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Starting College Life [Additional Update for Kng Kongs Generous Rewards]Swinging leisurely, a summer vacation has passed. Lu Xiaobu is heading back to school again. However, since this time its the easygoing university life, and moreover at Emperor Electric where beauties abound, Lu Xiaobu isnt too resistant to the idea of attending school. Its worth mentioning that, as expected, LOL has started to become extremely popular in the Heavenly Dynasty. Especially after some of the stories behind LOL from America were shared, LOL even took on a patriotic fervor, allowing our countrymen to let off a big sigh of relief. Suddenly, it became a national trend to play LOL; nobody could stand aside! Various news outlets are reporting on this phenomenon-level game. "Games that Bring Glory to the Country" "Lu Xiaobus Yet Another Era-Defining Creation" "Have You LOL-ed Today?" sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Some Parents Are Resisting LOL, Saying It Affects Studies" ... Lu Xiaobu doesnt care about this. He took a plane and arrived at Emperor Electric. Principal Li originally said he would come out to meet him. But he refused. After all, today is the newcomers day; if things were too grand, it wouldnt be fun! Liang Lan is dealing with LOL matters, the new company is established, and shes got a lot on her platetoday she has to go to a small press conference, so she didnt follow him here. Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan also went to their respective schools to register. So currently, only Li Jin and Zhang Meng are accompanying Lu Xiaobu. Whats the first thing for a new student to do when they enter the school? Of course, finding the dormitory! Building BRoom 302. Zhang Meng and Li Jin, carrying luggage, escorted Lu Xiaobu to the dormitory entrance. "You guys go ahead. Otherwise, if you enter, Id have to explain things for half a day." Lu Xiaobu waved his hands and arranged it. These two bulky guys really attract too much attention! "Yes, Young Master!" The two went downstairs. Lu Xiaobu carried his not-too-heavy luggage and entered the dormitory. Hmm, a standard four-person room. Each person has a bed, with a computer desk underneath, and a bunk bed on top! Lu Xiaobus bed is by the window. He threw his luggage onto the bed and began to size up what would be his roommates, whom he would see more often than the other students in the next few years! "My name is Gao Yun, from Inner Mongolia, nice to meet you." A very hearty guy greeted Lu Xiaobu. "Good, my name is Lu Xiaobu." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "I know, I saw your name on your bed. Man, your name is so coolLu Bu!" Gao Yun, inheriting the forthrightness of the prairie people, laughed and spoke. "Really?" Lu Xiaobu smiled. "Alright, guys, lets not be shy, lets introduce ourselves!" Gao Yun took the initiative to take on the role of the elder brother and opened up the somewhat unfamiliar situation. "My name is Shan Yifei, from the acting department. I hope we get along well in the upcoming four years." A handsome, masculine guy with a buzz cut, wearing glasses and with a faint aura of arrogance, pushed up his glasses and extended his hand to Lu Xiaobu. "Hi, I wont introduce myself too much!" Lu Xiaobu shook his hand and said. "My name is Ni Lin, majoring in directing, just an ordinary student." The last roommate spread his hands and gave a very common introduction with slight respect. "Then, lets decide on an order." Gao Yun spoke again: "Calling each other by names is too common." "Im fine with that, I have no objections!" Shan Yifei, also a rather open person, nodded smilingly. Ni Lin and Lu Xiaobu shrugged their shoulders, showing no objections. "So, how shall we arrange it?" Gao Yun asked somewhat pretentiously. You can tell he definitely wants to be the boss. "No matter how we arrange it, you can be the boss." Shan Yifei smiled and did a favor to go with the flow. Being the dormitory boss comes with no benefits, and generally, responsibilities outweigh rights! Since Gao Yun is keen to show off, Yifei is happy to back him up! "Alright." Lu Xiaobu also had no objections: "However, Im not used to calling someone boss, so Ill just call you by your name." "Thats not okay." Gao Yun was quite pleased at first, but he didnt like the second half of what Xiaobu said: "If youre making me the boss, you have to call me boss. Otherwise, lets pick again, and you guys set the rules!" "Ah!" Shan Yifei sighed, rolled his eyes in frustration, with a bit of blame towards Xiaobu. In his view, it was just a title; why make a fuss? "Actually, I suggest we choose again too, because weve got a big shot here. It doesnt seem right to have him call someone else boss." Ni Lin smiled, gave a slight bow to Lu Xiaobu, and showed his respect again. Lu Xiaobu nodded slightly; it seemed Ni Lin recognized him. Which was normal, since Ni Lin was in the directing department and would definitely pay attention to the previous Golden Fire Award, so it was impossible for him not to recognize Xiaobu. "What do you mean?" Shan Yifei was stunned: "Big shot? Who is the big shot?" "Yeah, who? Its not me." Gao Yun gestured dismissively. This Gao Yun certainly thought highly of himself! "Im talking about Young Master Bu." Ni Lin smiled and sent an inquiring look to Lu Xiaobu. "Its alright. Sooner or later, itll come out." Lu Xiaobu spoke indifferently. He was destined to be different; rather than waiting to be discovered later, it was better to speak up through Ni Lins words, and perhaps the gap between them could be narrowed. "Young Master Bu?" Shan Yifei frowned, finding this title somewhat familiar. Meanwhile, Gao Yun was completely baffled: "What? Young Master? People still use Young Master these days?" "Speechless!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes in exasperation. The way it was phrased made him feel like it made him look low. "Yes, exactly, Young Master Bu." Ni Lin nodded seriously and said: "This years high school examination topperYoung Master Bu Lu Xiaobu!" "Sss!" Shan Yifeis pupils dilated instantly, looking back and forth from Ni Lin to Lu Xiaobu, before finally saying incredulously: "Are you saying that Xiaobu is that Young Master Bu?" He had realized it too! "Exactly." Ni Lin nodded, confirming the answer! "Oh my, what an honor!" Shan Yifei quickly approached Lu Xiaobu, bowed, and said, "I didnt recognize you just now, pardon the offense, please forgive me, Young Master Bu." Earlier, he had a slight grievance against Xiaobu; now, that grievance had evaporated! Indeed, how could Young Master Bu call someone else boss? Forget about him calling; how many people are qualified to be Young Master Bus boss?! For Young Master Bu to say what he did was already giving everyone face! "No worries, were all roommates now, no need to be so formal." Lu Xiaobu smiled, neither sad nor happy. Honestly, he was neither pleased nor upset with these developments. "No, Lu Xiaobu, who the heck are you? Why do you have such clout? Even if you are the top scorer, it cant be like this!" Gao Yun was still confused. Coming from the grasslands, he was not too familiar with these matters. "Gao Yun, Young Master Bu is not just any topper; hes the national topper! The first in the entire country!" Ni Lin said earnestly to Gao Yun. "Sss!" Gao Yun gasped: "National topper?! Thats terrifying!" "Terrifying?! Thats just the least noteworthy thing about Young Master Bu." Ni Lin continued, leaving Gao Yun with his jaw dropped in amazement! Chapter 206 Mom, I Want to Go Home [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 206: Chapter 206 Mom, I Want to Go Home [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Ni Lin looked at Gao Yuns shocked gaze, smiled, opened his mouth, and was about to continue recounting the feats of Lu Xiaobu. However. Ding ding ding. Someone knocked on the door. "Come in." Ni Lins moment of showing off was interrupted, slightly irked, but he still proactively went to open the door. As a result. "Hissss!" All three of them inhaled sharply, their eyes lighting up with brilliance. A beauty! A great beauty! A beauty bubbling with charm! "Hello, may I ask who youre looking for? My name is Ni Lin." Ni Lin immediately reversed his previously somewhat mediocre stance, introducing himself aggressively and proactively. "Cough cough cough, hello there, miss, who are you looking for? Im 1.85 meters tall, male, interested in females... pfft, no unhealthy hobbies." Gao Yun stepped forward briskly, reaching out for a handshake. "Scoundrel, get lost." Shan Yifei was so angry he was hopping. This Gao Yun was too robust, instantly squeezing the other two aside. The worst part was how Gao Yun was twisting and turning, using his big butt to shove them away! Maddening! The stunning beauty who had arrived was Liang Lan. "Hehe, Young Master, your roommates are really interesting." Liang Lan covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. That laugh utterly bewitched the three little wolves. Who was Liang Lan? Initially, she single-handedly supported a bar with her beauty, not to mention that later, traveling north and south with Lu Xiaobu, her charisma improved even more, how could these three little wolves stop her. While she laughed, she effortlessly bypassed the three wolves, and went over to Lu Xiaobus side. Then she started making his bed and cleaning. "Sister Lan, why are you here? Is the press conference over?" Xiaobu casually asked. The beds were on top, the chairs below. So Liang Lan, cleaning while leaning over the bed, was fully visible to Xiaobu sitting below. After all, summer clothes are relatively loose, so bending over creates a sizeable gap, so... cough cough cough! Even though the view wasnt complete, you could still glimpse a ravine, and from this angle, it was inexplicably... cough cough cough cough cough! "Yes, it was just a small press conference and its over. I came over to clean up a bit." Liang Lan said while cleaning diligently. To the Young Masters gaze, she had already become immune. That look wasnt even enough to be considered daily routine, okay! What? You ask what the daily routine is? Figure it out yourself! If I told you everything, would you even use your brains!? "Lets book a restaurant in advance for lunch to treat my roommates." Lu Xiaobu arranged. "Okay, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded, took out her phone, and made a call: "Li Jin, book a restaurant for the Young Master, and also buy a computer and a set of the Young Masters usual toiletries back. Although we dont often live in the dorms, we still need to set up the essentials, I was in a hurry and didnt bring them." "Alright, dont worry, Ill go right now." Li Jin responded. Meanwhile, the eyes of Lu Xiaobus three roommates were glued to Liang Lan, swallowing their saliva non-stop. Of course, they couldnt see the view that Xiaobu could see, but just the sight of Liang Lans back was exciting enough for the three little wolves. They couldnt help but show envy and admiration towards Lu Xiaobu. After all, it was clear what sort of view Xiaobu had from his perspective! "Okay, okay, Ni Lin, continue telling us about Young Master Bus tales." Shan Yifei forcefully shifted his gaze and said to Ni Lin. Liang Lan was Lu Xiaobus woman, it wasnt proper for them to stare. "Yes, yes, yes." Ni Lin also nodded hurriedly. Only Gao Yun continued to stare blankly at Liang Lan. "Come here!" Shan Yifei and Ni Lin directly grabbed Gao Yun and pushed him aside. "Dont look anymore." The two said fiercely. "Mm-hmm." Gao Yun also quickly nodded his head. He realized that it wasnt polite to keep looking like that! "Ni Lin, keep talking about the tales of Young Master Bu," Gao Yun continued. Before, he thought the title Young Master was kind of lowbrow, but he suddenly changed his tune, finding it exceptionally smooth to say. "Young Master Bu, he is, well..." Just as Ni Lin was about to speak... Wham! The door was pushed open. "Xiaobu, Ive found you." The fiery Hot Pepper rushed in, making a beeline for Lu Xiaobu. The three turned their heads to look. "Gulp!" The three of them watched the Hot Pepper, whose undulating amplitude was particularly large due to her figure not being in proportion to her size, and they swallowed their saliva simultaneously. Oh my god, this... Sheesh, mama, Im in love! "Bang!" Hot Pepper jumped right into Lu Xiaobus arms, wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head against him. "Ouch." Lu Xiaobu grimaced as the Hot Pepper flew into his arms: "Whats wrong?" Of course, the incredibly soft touch was still fabulous. After all, when it comes to the feeling of hugging, no one can beat Hot Pepper! "Its nothing, I just wanted a hug." Hot Pepper pouted as she spoke. Unlike others, she didnt feel safe in Imperial. If it wasnt because Lu Xiaobu was going to Emperor Electric, shed rather die than apply for universities in Imperial. Especially just now, when she was alone in the university, she felt scared, so she rushed over to find Lu Xiaobu right away. Upon seeing this, Ni Lin, Gao Yun, and Shan Yifei had thunderbolts going off in their heads! Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Crack! Another one of Young Master Bus girls! Why are all the girls around Young Master Bu prettier than the next? One mature beauty cleans, another loli throws herself into his arms!? Mama, Ive had my heart broken! No, thats not right, mama, Im heart-struck! And here we are, heartstruck. "Hmph!" A crisp cold huff was heard. The three turned their heads again to look. A perfect, one-hundred-percent school beauty who could be called the campus belle appeared at the door. The jealous Wu Qianmin had arrived too! The three looked at Wu Qianmin, and then again at whom her gaze was indeed fixed on: Lu Xiaobu. They took another look at the three girls. Mature beauty, cleaning, yep, heartstruck! Loli, throwing herself into his arms, yep, heartstruck! Campus belle, getting jealous, yep, heartstruck! Instantly! Pffft pffft pffft! Three stabs to the heart for each! This isnt fair, how is one expected to live like this! Comparing one person to another is just asking for death, Young Master Bu, are you making sure we cant even have peace in Hell? The three looked up at the ceiling, speechless with tears cascading down. "Drinks tonight, whos in? Ive got strong liquor brought from the grasslands, guaranteed to get you drunk with one shot." Gao Yun spoke up. "Count me in, we wont stop until were completely wasted!" Shan Yifei affirmed. "I want to drink now!" Ni Lin wept bitterly! They say there are four iron rules of brotherhood in life: to have carried guns together, gone to the countryside together, shared dirty spoils, and visited brothels together! No, now there should be a fifth! That is, to be heart-struck together! An ordinary heart-struck doesnt count, it has to be that kind that stabs right into your core to count! However... Just at this moment! The door to their dorm room 302 was opened again! The three roommates shivered at oncemore to come!? Mama, I want to go home! Chapter 207: Two Kings [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Two Kings [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]The door was pushed open. Three roommates carefully looked over. They were afraid it was another beauty and their hearts couldnt take it. However... "Phew!" The three roommates breathed a sigh of relief. Turns out its a man, thats a relief. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but Lu Xiaobu took a sharp breath. "Wang Gou? What are you doing here?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Wang Gou in front of him and shivered. Does everyone still remember him? The best friend of Hot Pepper, a gay guy, and a bottomWang Gou! "I asked him to help me find you, otherwise, I couldnt have found you." Hot Pepper slid off Lu Xiaobus body and shrugged, "You might not know this, but Wang Gou is a student at Emperor Electric, and hes also your senior." "Oh, thats actually good news!" Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched: "He doesnt also live in this building, does he?" "No, hes in Building A." Hot Pepper said. "Phew!" Lu Xiaobu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking if Wang Gou really lived in this building, hed seriously consider using his privileges to change dorms. Otherwise, if he really came back to the dorm one day, he wouldnt be able to sleep at night! At this moment, Wang Gou had already started chatting with the three roommates. Seeing Wang Gou, the three roommates felt like they had found an oasis in the desert! They had never imagined that they would be so excited to see a man! Moreover, hearing from Wang Gou that he was a sophomore senior made it even more interesting! Learning from a seniors experience is a great thing! As for Wang Gou! He was also very happy! For him, men are like women, women are like men. The male dormitory is his favorite place. Especially in summer, everyone wears less in the dorm, or even goes without, which excites him more. Now, these three roommates were so enthusiastic about him, even though they werent quite his type, it didnt stop his enthusiasm for them! Its like normal men, even if they meet some not-so-top-tier beauties, they still happily get close! So, under such a bizarre twist of fate, four men... three men and a bottom, were all shouldering each other and having a great chat! Lu Xiaobu saw this scene and immediately hugged the three women next to him! Feeling their soft bodies and smelling their fragrance... Ah, much more comfortable! At this moment, Wang Gou, seeing Lu Xiaobu hugging the three women. Then, Wang Gou also hugged the three roommates next to him! Finally, he gave Lu Xiaobu a challenging look. What? You have women to hug! Dont I have anyone to hug? Youre hugging three beauties, and Im hugging three handsome guys! Can you imagine that scene? Lu Xiaobu sitting inside the dorm, holding the three beauties! Wang Gou standing by the door, holding the three... well, handsome men! Its like two Kings, each holding their queens, declaring war! Ah, although the queens of the Wang Gou Kingdom dont yet know the situation, it doesnt affect the intensity of the battle! So! "Sss!" Lu Xiaobu suddenly shivered. He concedes, isnt conceding enough!? He made a welcoming gesture. Boss, you win! Cant mess with him! Still, youre the superior one! Please, these three roommates, Ill hand them over to you! Enjoy at your leisure! As for the three roommates? Just let fate decide! Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Whether you awaken or evolve, thats up to you! Although he was curious to see, when the three roommates found out about Wang Gous identity, what an incredible WTF moment it would be! But still, just like he said, even though he didnt want to interact with homosexuals, he did not discriminate against them, so he wouldnt deliberately publicize it. ... To alleviate the awkwardness, Lu Xiaobu proposed going to the freshman welcoming party to check it out. His three roommates happily agreed, and Wang Gou volunteered to act as their tour guide. The roommates naturally enjoyed this. However, what made them feel uncomfortable was why did this senior like to hold hands so much? Weird! Upon arriving at the scene of the freshman welcoming party, they discovered a bustling atmosphere, as various school clubs were recruiting new members. "Huh? Emperor Electric is recruiting this early?" Wu Qianmin was surprised: "I remember that university clubs usually recruit around October 1st!" "Its usually around October 1st, too, but I dont know why this year, several big clubs started recruitment early, and the other clubs couldnt fall behind, so it turned out like this," Wang Gou shrugged and explained. "Interesting." Lu Xiaobu nodded his head. It must be said, the beauty index at Emperor Electric was indeed very high, with eighty, even ninety percent of the girls being striking beauties! They dressed lightly, displaying as much youthful vitality as possible, making Lu Xiaobu sincerely thinkaha! Emperor Electric is a great school. As a man, of course, its time to appreciate the beauties! If it were any ordinary person, even just looking would be sneaky, and if caught, it would probably be embarrassing! But! Who is Lu Xiaobu! Sneaky looking? What a joke! So, his gaze, at this moment, was extremely aggressive! It felt like an emperor scanning his harem. Thus, wherever his gaze swept over, those beauties... Immediately, either got angry, provoked, or just fled far away! And what about Wang Gou? His gaze was also constantly scanning everywhere. However, he was looking at the handsome guys! And perhaps influenced by Lu Xiaobu, his gaze also became quite explicit! Those guys, after seeing this gaze, felt inexplicably chilly and instinctively avoided them! So! These two guys! One scanning beauties, the other scanning handsome guys! Their gazes were like a Gatling gun, causing everyone targeted to freak out... oops, wrong, to run away! In no time, this formerly bustling club recruitment event was swept into an empty circle by their gazes. No one dared to come close to the eight of them! The three girls rolled their eyes completely speechlesshow is this even possible?! You two are too terrifying, just with a gaze, overturning the whole field?! We can understand Young Masters gaze, since hes used to doing whatever he wants. But, Wang Gou, youre gay, how could you dare to be so aggressively provocative? What are you up to?! The three roommates were utterly bewildered! Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? What happened here? Why are they all avoiding us?! Are we disasters? The students around were also discussing this. The girls. "Who are they?" "That guys gaze is too terrifying; I felt like I was stripped naked when he scanned me!" "Yes, but that guy is still handsome, just his gaze is too intense!" "I feel like this person is naturally suited to play a superior role, his gaze is killer!" "..." The boys! "That gaze was horrifying, scared the hell out of me!" "Exactly, even if there are three perfect-score beauties there, I wouldnt dare to approach them!" "I just want to ask, but why is that guy in the middle looking at us?" "Man, really, when that gaze swept over, it made my hair stand on end!" "..." And just then. Suddenly, a large crowd burst out, surrounding Lu Xiaobu and his group! Chapter 208: The Fight Begins [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 208: Chapter 208: The Fight Begins [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]A sudden surge of people quickly filled the open space that Lu Xiaobu and Wang Gou had just cleared. Each of these people, both men and women, was strikingly handsome or beautiful, each exuding an extraordinary aura. But at this moment, their faces were all wearing a look of eager smiles, focusing on Lu Xiaobu. Upon seeing the crowd suddenly surrounding him, Lu Xiaobu was taken aback, "What do you guys want?" Hearing Lu Xiaobus question, they all shouted in unison, "Please join our club!" After saying that, they all suddenly stared angrily at their competitors standing next to them. Then... They shouted again in unison, "You can be the vice-president!" What!? They paused again, then the glaring resumed! The air was filled with the thick scent of gunpowder! Lu Xiaobu felt that they were about to come to blows very soon! Ordinary students around them, and those seniors unfamiliar with the situation, were all watching this scene dumbfounded. "Isnt that the president of the Drama Club, Xin Enyang? My male idol, my favorite! Why is he here personally inviting someone?!" "Oh my, thats Zhang Qian, the president of the Directors Club. Ive always wanted to join the Directors Club, but didnt have the qualifications, and now hes inviting this freshman?!" "Look closely! These are all unknown club presidents! The Agents Club, Scriptwriters Club, Foreign Languages Club, Broadcast Club, Literature Club! They all are presidents of major clubs!" "Right, the freshmen recruitment event, wasnt it because they started early that it began? Could it be! They are doing this for this freshman?!" "No way, who exactly is this freshman?!" "..." Listening to the discussions from the surrounding students, these club presidents admired by the students paid them no heed. Just as those students guessed! The reason they started recruiting early was indeed for Lu Xiaobu! Not just for Lu Xiaobus talent, Lu Xiaobus grades, or Lu Xiaobus reputation! But also for Lu Xiaobus money! In this day and age, money talks. Once Lu Xiaobu joined their club, would they still need to worry about money? Cutting off ones financial path is akin to killing ones parents! So, when facing so many competitors. They just couldnt hold back their anger! They started arguing like shrews! "Im telling you, Young Master Bu is a famous director, he must join our Directors Club!" "Nonsense! When Young Master Bu filmed A Chinese Odyssey, he wasnt the director, he was more like the screenwriter, the Scriptwriters Club is where Young Master Bu should be!" "We from the Agents Club declare, we are inviting Young Master Bu to guide us! Different from you all!" "Our Literature Club is the best, who among you can do without literature!" "Youre just twisting words!" "Want to have a fight?!" "Come on! Whos afraid?!" "..." The students watched as the club presidents squabbled like fishwives, all collapsed! "Oh come on, really?!" "For one person, the presidents are arguing?!" "This has never happened in the history of our school!" "Too horrifying!" "..." At this moment, Lu Xiaobu curled his lips into a mischievous smile, "Come on, come on, start fighting, whoever wins, Ill join their club!" "Xiaobu, can you not cause trouble?" Wu Qianmin was speechless, slapping her palm on her flawless forehead. Where did this come from, encouraging a fight!? But Hot Pepper was thrilled, fearing not enough chaos, "Yes, yes, fight, whoever wins, Ill let Lu Xiaobu join your club!" Lu Xiaobus three roommates, together with Wang Gou, twitched their mouths! What is this madness? Letting these unknown club presidents fight, how could they possibly fight!? Not just them, other students also rolled their eyes! "Just one sentence and the presidents are fighting?!" "Its really a joke, so cold!" "They really start fighting, Ill live stream eating dung!" "I..." Then! The ridiculous thing that they dreaded happened! Although they were all fired up online, those club presidents were initially limited to verbal confrontations... As soon as Lu Xiaobu said that! "Hey Xin Enyang, dare to hit me?" "Zhang Qian, you jerk, why did you hit me? Ill kill you!" "I curse you, telling your Literature Society, our Script Society has long disliked you guys!" "You English Society go away!" "Ill beat you to death, you bastard!" "..." The students around watched this scene and were dumbfounded! These exemplary students, high and mighty individuals! Now, they are resolving their issues with fists?! Have they all gone mad?! "Holy crap! What the heck?!" "Oh my God!" "Damn it! Are they really fighting?" "Arent these the exemplary students of Emperor Electric, and also society presidents? Why are they fighting? Am I seeing things?" "Arent they afraid of school punishment?!" Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Is that shit-eater still there?!" "..." Hearing the students words, those society presidents just sneered! Instead of stopping, they fought even harder! Others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through! Occupying their positions for their cause! By the time they reached their positions, they had already started dealing with societal matters. So, they are well aware, despite flaunting themselves in front of the students, In Lu Xiaobus eyes, all their so-called reputation is nothing! Since Lu Xiaobu wants them to fight, then they will fight! If they win, Lu Xiaobu joins their club, lots of benefits! If they lose, there are still benefits, after all, Lu Xiaobu wouldnt just ignore them! Even if stepping back ten thousand steps, if Lu Xiaobu really did ignore it! Being recognized by Lu Xiaobu is still worth it. In case next time Lu Xiaobu shoots a film and lets them participate, they would be stars! Another ten thousand steps back, after the fight is over, its just some minor injuries. Regarding school punishing them? Ha! They are society presidents, fighting over Lu Xiaobu! Principal Li nearly fought with the president of Qinghua Emperor University over Lu Xiaobu, who would punish them?! Those who think this is nonsense, like a fairy tale, please first go and understand why actresses are, and even willing to be implicitly coerced before you speak! "What are you all doing?! Gone mad?!" A teacher came over and stopped the fight! Seeing the teacher, the society presidents stopped fighting and stood aside silently. "Everyone, go and write a reflection paper, submit it to me!" The teacher angrily ordered. Despite the angry tone, it was just as the society presidents anticipated! All bark but no bite! No substantial punishment, not even asking the reason! Why? Because of Lu Xiaobu! It can only be because of Lu Xiaobu! If it were anyone else, the society presidents wouldnt fight, and if a fight did occur, they would all be expelled! Does it seem horrifying? Seems unbelievable? But sorry, thats the fact! Lu Xiaobu alone can change the schools decision! Thats how terrifying it is! You disagree, just stay aside, its none of your business! ... All the society presidents were anxiously staring at Lu Xiaobu! Now that they had fought and been punished, can they now choose their society?! However... Would Lu Xiaobu join their society? Chapter 209 What I Want is You【For the Unrestrained. Reward for More Updates】 Chapter 209: Chapter 209 What I Want is YouFor the Unrestrained. Reward for More UpdatesA line of club presidents stood here, their eyes locked in a fierce contest, all eagerly anticipating Lu Xiaobus next move. Suddenly, another figure emerged from the crowd. Wherever she passed, people on both sides automatically cleared a path for her. They even bowed slightly, not daring to look up at her directly! Its as if she, like the ice-cold girls in novels, emanated a chilling aura even before she got close, making people shiver uncontrollably! This was an ice-cold girl to the extreme! Emerging from the crowd, Lu Xiaobu finally caught a complete glimpse of her. This girl had exquisite features, like that of a porcelain doll. What was most unforgettable were her delicate single-lidded phoenix eyes. There was no flicker of emotion within them, like a piece of black millennium-old ice, chilling to the core! She wore an ordinary, even somewhat masculine black T-shirt that lacked any distinctive features, but the black color only made her expression colder. Below, she donned a pair of white pencil pants that were equally plain, yet utterly captivating. Everyone knows pencil pants are tight around the ankles and cling to the legs - they are the hardest to pull off. After all, any flaw in your legs would be exposed, severely compromising your image. However! Not for this girl, for she carried off pencil pants to their utmost level! It could even be said that pencil pants were designed for her. For she had an absolutely amazing pair of legs. Long, straight, fleshly without being flabby, fair and delicate, truly alluring! Without a doubt, these legs would make any man kneel before her, breathless until their death! As for why theyd be breathless, thats for you to think about! Those legs continued to move towards Lu Xiaobu. The target of this icy beauty was actually Lu Xiaobu as well. "Lu Xiaobu?" The ice-cold beauty looked past the line of club presidents in front of Lu Xiaobu, her chilly gaze fixed squarely on him. "Yes." Lu Xiaobu nodded, his eyes unabashedly appreciating the icy beauty. "I want you to join my club." The ice-cold beauty frowned slightly as she spoke again, her voice as cold as a biting wind. Even her tone now carried a hint of command. She did not like being looked at directly! "Great!" Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a wild arc, his eyes gleaming with increasing aggression. Command him?! Interesting! This ice mountain stirred within him a desire to conquer! "Have you agreed?" The ice-cold beautys brows knitted even tighter. She really disliked, even hated the way Lu Xiaobu was looking at her! "Name." Lu Xiaobu stepped forward. Now, only less than two meters separated them. "Electronic Sports Club." For the first time, a glimmer of emotion flashed through the ice-cold beautys eyes! It was a look of devotion, of obsession! "Im asking for your name." Lu Xiaobu took another step. The distance between them was reduced to one meter. Lu Xiaobu could now clearly make out every detail of the ice-cold beautys skin. Ice mountain, how long can you stay cold?! "Me?" The ice-cold beauty, seeing Lu Xiaobu so close to her, suddenly felt an inner turmoil, which quickly turned to fury beneath the surface! No one had ever gotten so close to her! She really wanted to leave this place in a huff. This was never what she wanted to do! But she couldnt! The current situation of the Electronic Sports Club didnt allow her to leave! Nor would her pride allow it! So, her gaze remained frosty. "Su Mingxue." The ice-cold beauty pronounced her name clearly, "You, join the Electronic Sports Club!" "Are you the president?" Lu Xiaobus smile grew even more pronounced! A good start! To melt an ice mountain? No, he preferred a head-on collision! "Yes!" Su Luoxue replied coldly. "I want to be the president!" Lu Xiaobu stepped forward half a step. Their distance closed to half a meter. Nearly face to face! They could even smell each others scent. Feel each others breath! "You!" For the first time, emotion surged within Su Luoxues cold eyes! Anger! She involuntarily clenched her teeth in secret! This bastard, this was indeed a bad decision! She now not only wants to be fierce, she also wants to slap this scoundrel! Club President?! You want the position of club president?! Do you have enough passion for electronic sports?! Do you even know what electronic sports are?! Yes, she doesnt care about the position, but she cares if the person in that position loves it! But, when she thinks of the current state of the Electronic Sports Club! Surrender, it seems, is her only choice! "Fine!" Su Luoxue grits her teeth in agreement! "Very well." Lu Xiaobu suddenly steps forward half a step again. The distance is shortened tozero! Iceberg, hes about to collide! Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Suddenly! He stretches out his hand... And lifts Su Luoxues delicate chin... The action is domineering and leaves no room for refusal! He says with a desire to conquer: "But what I want is you, Club President!" "You!" Su Luoxue explodes in an instant! The iceberg explodes! Her hand swings up in a flash! She is going to give this scoundrel a good slap! However! "Club President! President Su! Dont!" A series of urgent cries come from behind her! In an instant, a bucket of cold water is poured from head to tail! The anger is not quelled, but the anger is suppressed! "Hmph!" A cold snort full of chill escapes her lips! Then, she shakes off Lu Xiaobus hand! Turns around and strides away! "Su Luoxue, electronic sports, interesting." Lu Xiaobu chuckles to himself softly, talking to himself. It has to be said, women, especially ice beauties, really do make mens hormones surge! This time, even Lu Xiaobu, a man in the advanced stages of laziness, has a desire to conquer! The surrounding students are all stunned! Not until the ice beauty Su Luoxue leaves the area. Do they finally exclaim in amazement! "Oh my goodness! What did I just see?" "The ice beauty Su Luoxue has been conquered!?" "No, not conquered, but suppressed!" "Really awesome, Ive never seen anyone suppress Su Luoxue so dominantly!" "Too awesome!" "Perhaps I know why so many club presidents would fight over this person!" "Why?" "Because hes awesome!" "Get lost! Die off to the side!" "..." "Xiaobu, you! Humph!" Little Chili lets out an angry cold snort, grinding her teeth while doing it! Looks like she wants to bite someone! Liang Lan also watches Lu Xiaobu with a face full of grievanceYoung Master, its starting again! But she makes no statement, just gazes at Lu Xiaobu with that sadness! Silent and invisible, but it makes you very uncomfortable! As for the little jealous jar Wu Qianmin? Already toppled over, definitely ancient vinegar aged a thousand years! I have vinegar, who would lend me some dumplings?! "I said its for the glory of electronic sports, do you believe me?!" Lu Xiaobu spreads his hands and talks nonsense! "Hmph!" This time! Three women snort coldly at the same time and leave together! Time to shop! Li Jin and Zhang Meng exchange glances. "This." Li Jin looks pleadingly at Zhang Meng. "Huh?!" Zhang Meng glares fiercely! "Oh!" Li Jin gives in, following the three ladies out. He really doesnt want to protect three women who are full of jealousy, because millennia-old vinegar is very bitter! But Zhang Mengs fists hurt a lot! Between the two, choose the lesser! Better be bitter then! Lu Xiaobu shrugs his shoulders, indicating helplessness. He really is doing it for electronic sports... cough cough, really! After all, the current state of electronic sports is indeed not that great! Chapter 210: Dark Age [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Dark Age [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Su Luoxue left, and Li Jin also went on a shopping spree with three girls under his protection! "By the way, theres also you guys. Its unfair to have you play a match for nothing. Once my people come back, each of you go and collect a hundred thousand as my compensation." Lu Xiaobu said to the club presidents. sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Thank you, Young Master Bu." Everyone was delighted, their speculation was right, a hundred thousand yuan! Thats not a small sum! With this hundred thousand, their clubs could do a lot of things. Young Master Bu is truly generous, joyful! Then, the president of the directors club, Zhang Qian, spoke up with a troubled face: "Young Master Bu, are you really going to join the Electronic Sports Club?" "Whats the problem?" Lu Xiaobu countered. "Of course theres no problem, but the current state of electronic sports, how should I put it, isnt very favorable." Zhang Qian spoke cautiously. He initially wanted to say that there was no future at all, but after giving it some thought, he changed it to "isnt very favorable." "How so?" Lu Xiaobu asked back. A row of presidents hesitated, unsure if they should speak the truth. After all, they couldnt gauge Lu Xiaobus thoughts, careful with their word choice. "Ill say it." Wang Gou shrugged and stepped forward: "Currently in our country, especially parents attitude towards gaming has always been one of utter disgust. For many students during their school years, once they play games, all the wrongdoings are ascribed to gaming by their parents." "Some even claim that student fights are due to gaming!" "This has led to a generally poor attitude towards gaming, not to mention what they call electronic sports!" "So the current state of the Electronic Sports Club is very bad, with no venue, no funds, no equipment, and the few that do join are only attracted by Su Luoxues beauty." "I think Su Luoxue, this ice maiden, reaching out to invite you to join the club is a desperate move, wanting to use you to increase the clubs appeal!" Wang Gous words were very objective. After listening, Lu Xiaobu nodded, understanding the situation. He was previously unaware, but now he knew thanks to Wang Gou. The development of electronic sports on Water Blue Star is just like Earth during the Dark Age. Back then, in the eyes of parents from the Heavenly Dynasty, gaming was seen as a cancerous presence no matter how good their childrens academic performances weregaming was wrong! It even led to the shocking instances like the Electricity Law KingYang Yongxin. This reflects how much parents feared gaming, treating it almost like opium! The demonization of it was extreme! In such an environment, its incredibly tough for electronic sports to develop, to say its an uphill struggle would be an understatement! Even todays LOL, despite Lu Xiaobu putting a patriotic shine on it, faces the same challenge! But, if others cant do it... Can Lu Xiaobu not do it?! At this moment, students surrounding them were also discussing the topic of electronic sports. "I think gaming is just for relaxation, no need to take it so seriously, let alone this electronic sports thing, its incomprehensible!" "Yes, I was part of the Electronic Sports Club for a while, and to be honest, I joined because of Su Luoxue, but I couldnt stand it after just three days!" "What, it was that bad?" "More than just bad! We play games for fun, but they play as if their lives depend on it! Training hand speed, awareness training, oh man, its just maddening!" "Just hearing about it makes me not want to go. Turning something meant for leisure into something as strenuous as study? Cant stand it! Of course, if Su Luoxue personally invited me, I would go!" "Just you? Personally invited by her? Wishful thinking." "..." Listening to the discussions around him, Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched slightly, and he stretched lazily. Looking down on electronic sports? Thinking that games are only meant for playing? "Im telling you now, sooner or later... You will go crazy for him, be fascinated by him, cheer for his glory! And that day wont be far off! Or rather, under his tricks, that day is just around the corner! "Im going to check out the Electronic Sports Club, do you guys want to come?" Lu Xiaobu turned to look at his roommates and asked. The three roommates looked at each other and also nodded: "Sure, lets go have a look." ... An abandoned classroom doubling as a storeroom in the southwest corner of the school. This is whats called the Electronic Sports Club. In the middle of the room, there are six computers set up; from the looks of them, they seem to be outdated units cast off by some internet cafes during an upgrade. And the sides of the room are filled with various sorts of junk. Although theres a lot of stuff, its all very neatly arranged. Its clear that the person who tidied up these things must have a strong attachment to this place. At this moment, the Electronic Sports Club, including Su Luoxue, all six members were having a meeting. "Club President, you shouldnt have gone looking for that damn Lu Xiaobu. That little bastard, what is he anyway?!" A boy with a fiery temperament and a fierce look on his face bellowed. The thought of his goddess, Su Luoxue, being pinched on the chin by that Lu Xiaobu, set him ablaze with rage! Su Luoxue was his! "Alright, Wang Chen, hold your tongue." Another boy, looking somewhat skinny and wearing glasses, spoke: "Do you think the Club President wanted this? Youre not looking at those big club presidents begging Lu Xiaobu. That Lu Xiaobu must be someone important; once he joins our club, it will definitely benefit us." "Benefit, benefit, Xu Ronggui, you damn know only about benefits! You are just a manipulator!" Wang Chen got even angrier, grabbing the glasses-wearing boy by the collar and screamed at him. His spit sprayed the boys face. "Im doing this for the good of our Electronic Sports Club!" Xu Ronggui struggled to say. "Bullshit! I think you just want to go lick someones boots! Otherwise, you just saw Luo Xue being harassed by that bastard, and you didnt even let Luo Xue take action, what are your god damn intentions?!" Wang Chen, talking about this matter, was unforgivably furious, his fists clenched, ready to strike! Xu Ronggui was immediately frightened, squinting his eyes and shivering: "Club President! Look at Wang Chen!" "Enough, stop it there." Su Luoxue spoke up, her tone still cold. She looked at these two, feeling really troubled. These two were the strongest of the six people in their Electronic Sports Club, they were the pillars! Aside from them, the other three... Well, better left unsaid! But even these two pillars were full of problems! Xu Ronggui was okay, a bit timid and afraid of controversy, but he had the same intentions as her at heart and ultimately wanted the best for the Electronic Sports Club! Including this time when they went looking for Lu Xiaobu, it was Xu Rongguis suggestion! But Wang Chen was different, his goal was as clear as day, and it was for her! And whats most despicable is that Wang Chen is always out there, making a fuss, claiming that she is his woman! It made her annoyed and agitated to no end! Honestly, if not for the clubs minimum requirement of six people, she would have kicked this jerk out long ago! "Luo Xue, youre always protecting this wimp, do you even have me in your eyes?!" Initially full of indignation, Wang Chen exploded into extreme frustration upon hearing Su Luoxues words. "Who are you? Why should I have you in my eyes!" Su Luoxue was also angered. This Wang Chen was becoming too much! "Who am I!? Who am I?! Haha, fine, fine!" Wang Chen was furious, his eyes showing ferocity! If this is how it is going to be, then dont blame me! Chapter 211 - 212 Not on the Same Level [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 211: Chapter 212 Not on the Same Level [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Su Luoxue, since you are so heartless, then dont blame me for being ruthless. Now I give you a choice, him or me?!" Wang Chen stared at Su Luoxue and made things clear: "You dont want me to hit someone, I dont have to, but today, if he stays, Im out! You decide!" Upon hearing this, Su Luoxue was immediately infuriated: "Wang Chen, what do you want?!" A club has to have at least six members, right? If any of them leaves, the club cant continue! "Its nothing, just making you make a choice. If you let Xu Ronggui leave, I can find a way to bring in someone else. But if I leave, huh! Surely you know the student council president is my iron buddy!" Wang Chen completely tore off his mask. As long as Xu Ronggui is here for one more day, many of his opportunities cannot be realized. He must make Xu Ronggui leave, then the eSports Club will be his world, and Su Luoxue will be in the palm of his hand! Originally he wasnt sure about this plan, but just now, he saw that Lu Xiaobu actually made Su Luoxue submit, which gave him hope. If Lu Xiaobu can do it, so can he! Even, he believes hes more formidable than Lu Xiaobu! "You! Shameless!" Su Luoxue exploded with anger. If it was just Wang Chen using leaving as a threat, she might have found it understandable! But now, it was not just a threat to leave, but a threat with the power of the student council against the entire eSports Club! "Shameless?! Today I am shameless! What can you do about it?!" Wang Chen let go of Xu Ronggui, staring at Su Luoxue who he coveted, and violently stepped forward. This Su Luoxue had been taken advantage of by Lu Xiaobu, and he wanted it too! And more, much more!! His gaze began to sweep over Su Luoxues body, becoming increasingly lecherous! "Get lost!" Su Luoxue, seeing Wang Chens naked gaze, became instantly furious. She reached out and slapped down. She knew that Wang Chen was comparing himself with Lu Xiaobu! Although both men were scumbags, Wang Chen was far worse than Lu Xiaobu! Lu Xiaobus gaze was aggressive, about conquest! But this Wang Chen, was outright lecherous! Not even on the same level! Lu Xiaobu might be an invader! But this Wang Chen was outright a hooligan! Slap! The unsuspecting Wang Chen was slapped hard across the face by Su Luoxue. "Damn it!" Wang Chen became furious on the spot, his gaze growing more ferocious: "You bitch, Ive been with you guys for so long, giving up the position of the student council vice president, working hard and silently bearing it! But you? Damn it, youd rather let a little bastard take advantage of you than me!?" "To tell the truth, youre far worse than Lu Xiaobu," Su Luoxue said through clenched teeth. "F**k!" Wang Chen raged again! Fury arose from his heart, and malice sprouted from within! Incredibly, he directly reached out towards Su Luoxue! He was going to force himself! Su Luoxue changed, no matter how cold she was, shes still a woman, and surely couldnt resist, right? Involuntarily, her gaze turned towards Xu Ronggui, hoping he would stand up for her! But! Xu Ronggui cowered again! sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He avoided Su Luoxues eyes! And the other three members of the club chose to turn a blind eye! At that moment, Su Luoxue despaired! "Yo, I never expected to come across a scene of a hero saving the beauty, how rare!" Just then, Lu Xiaobu pushed the door open and interrupted Wang Chens actions. "Damn it, its you?! Little bastard, you actually dare to come here..." Wang Chen turned around fiercely, beside himself with rage! However, before he could finish his words. "Bang!" His chest was fiercely kicked, and he flew backward, crashing into a pile of clutter at the side! And there stood Zhang Meng, now in Wang Chens previous spot, slowly lowering his foot! "Gulp!" The other five members of the Electronic Sports Club were stupefied! They looked at this scene in horror! Their hearts were constantly contracting! What?! A single kick sent Wang Chen flying!? And so far at that?! They were very aware of Wang Chens fighting ability! Usually, he could take on two of them! Yet! Wang Chen, of all people, was kicked away so effortlessly by this man?! Who is this man? To be so frightening! But thats not even the scariest part! The scariest thing is this mans motive for hitting someone! If their guesses are correct... Its all because Wang Chen insulted Lu Xiaobu! Yes, just because of that, Wang Chen was sent flying! Just who the hell is Lu Xiaobu?! "Damn it all to hell! How dare he..." Wang Chen, clutching his chest, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, struggled to curse out loud! "Bang!" A muffled sound was heard! The eSports Club members saw Zhang Meng violently kick the ground, launching himself forward! "Dont!" Su Luoxue cried out instinctively! She had a feeling that this was going to be worse than the last time! "Zhang Meng." Upon hearing Su Luoxues outcry, Lu Xiaobu called out indifferently! Hearing the command, Zhang Meng immediately stopped his actions! At that moment, his foot was less than a centimeter away from Wang Chens head! If the Young Master hadnt ordered a halt, even though he wouldnt have gone for the kill, this guy would have needed half a year in the hospital! With Zhang Mengs abrupt halt! "Whoosh!" A fierce gust of wind struck Wang Chens face! "Huff huff huff!" Wang Chens breathing became ragged, like a broken bellows, gasping non-stop! His heart first came to a violent halt, then started pounding wildly! Thump thump thump thump thump... This was definitely the fastest his heart had ever beaten in his life! At this moment, his lips were parched, his face deathly pale! Cold sweat instantaneously covered his entire body! He felt as if he had just walked a round at the Ghost Gate! The scene fell into dead silence! Cold sweat was streaming down the faces of everyone from the eSports Club! Terrifying, way too terrifying! They thought it was scary enough just now! But now it was even more terrifying! Lu Xiaobus three roommates were also staring at Zhang Mengs figure in horror! On their way here, they had already seen Zhang Meng, who had been following Lu Xiaobu. But since Zhang Meng had always maintained a certain distance, blending into the crowd, they didnt think much of it. But now, they realized they had such a terrifying person following them?! And he was so utterly obedient to Lu Xiaobu that he could forcefully stop his attack under such circumstances?! My God! "Lu Xiaobu, youve already taught him a lesson for insulting you. Now its an internal matter for our eSports Club, right?" Su Luoxue stood in front of Lu Xiaobu, her icy eyes fixed on him. "Are you asking me for a favor?" Lu Xiaobu curved his lips into a mischievous smile. He found that he really enjoyed teasing this ice queen! "Yes!" Su Luoxue was so annoyed she could feel her teeth itch. She could tell that Lu Xiaobu was just teasing her! It was infuriating! But this annoyance didnt seem to make her dislike him! Lu Xiaobu was far superior to Wang Chen! "Alright, hehe." Lu Xiaobu chuckled! Seeing the ice queen displaying such a mixed expression of embarrassment and forced acknowledgment, Lu Xiaobu felt an immense sense of satisfaction in his conquest! So satisfying! "Alright, Zhang Meng, let Su Luoxue take care of it." Lu Xiaobu said with a smile, gesturing for Zhang Meng to let go of Wang Chen. His goal was to lead eSports into the Golden Age! Not to stoop to the level of such petty persons! No need for that! Isnt this world treating eSports as poison? Then I shall make you all addicted!!! Starting with this tiny Electronic Sports Club, I will usher in the era of the Golden Age! Chapter 212: Icebreaker [Celebrating the birth of a baby for the husband with a wife] Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Icebreaker [Celebrating the birth of a baby for the husband with a wife]"Wang Chen, youve been fired. Get out." Su Luoxue turned her head and looked at Wang Chen who had fallen amidst the clutter, speaking with complex emotions. This decision was really tough for her. With Wang Chen gone, it meant that she had to find someone to join the eSports Club within three days. Otherwise, the eSports Club would be disbanded. Zhang Meng glanced back at Lu Xiaobu and, seeing Lu Xiaobu nod, withdrew his foot and returned to stand behind Lu Xiaobu. Wang Chen, supporting himself by the clutter, stood up, clutching his chest. He did not dare say a word and started walking out step by step. It wasnt until he reached the door that he turned back viciously, shooting a spiteful glare. However, as Zhang Meng slightly turned his head back, Wang Chen was scared into a pathetic run! By this time, Su Luoxue had already walked over to where the clutter Wang Chen had hit was and started to slowly tidy up. It seemed that this old yet orderly classroom was organized by her hand. After shed finished cleaning up, Su Luoxue then approached Lu Xiaobu: "What are you here for?" "Im here to take over the eSports Club." Lu Xiaobu states unequivocally: "From today on, I am the president of the eSports Club, and you are my secretary, just like that." "You!" Su Luoxue was infuriated! She felt that this Lu Xiaobu was doing it on purpose, every sentence designed to anger her. "Do you want the eSports Club to grow and flourish? Do you want e-sports to be a glory and not a poison? Do you want to realize your dreams?" Lu Xiaobu fired off three rapid questions, then cracked a malicious smile: "If so, let me hear you call me Boss." Seriously, have you ever felt this way? Teasing this kind of ice queen, especially when shes a beauty, and watching her get angry, its so amusing! "I!" Su Luoxue was choked up again! She really didnt know how Lu Xiaobu managed to say things that struck right at her heart. But, the three wishes Lu Xiaobu spoke of were indeed her dreams. So she looked into Lu Xiaobus eyes, hesitated a bit, and said: "Boss... boss... boss!" "Nice!" Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers. "But, you have to promise me youll make it happen!" Su Luoxue bit her lip, staring at Lu Xiaobu as she spoke. "Of course, when have I ever not kept my word." Lu Xiaobu said with glee. With a secretary now! As the old saying goes, secretaries deal with matters, and when theres nothing to do... cough cough cough! Sister Lan is now the chief manager, handling too many things, so its not appropriate for her to accompany him all the time. And Bingbings temperament is too fiery, her jealous nature too prone to mistakes, neither are suitable secretary material. Meanwhile, looking at this Su Luoxue, one can see her keeping up a club by herself, even if it has few members, but it also shows her exceptional quality. I bet there will definitely be people saying, these reasons are all nonsense, its actually just because Su Luoxue is beautiful! To these people! I just want to say... Youre right! What are you gonna do about it?! "Alright, Secretary, what are the current competitive events in our eSports Club?" Lu Xiaobu turned on the computer next to him, asking. "Currently we have..." Su Luoxue, gritting her teeth, began to introduce! She hated the title of Secretary! But with the current plight of the eSports Club right before her eyes, she had to think of a solution. Rather than going out to find people, better to let this jerk swagger around for now! Since he asked for an introduction to the events, she might as well test him! Lets see what hes capable of! "Okay, no need to introduce anymore, its all useless anyway." Lu Xiaobu cut in once again. "I! You!" Su Luoxue felt an urge to vomit blood! What do you mean?! What the hell do you mean?! I see now, you came here to mess with me today, didnt you! Xu Ronggui was trembling as he watched from the side! Not just because of Zhang Meng, who was beside Lu Xiaobu! But also because of Lu Xiaobu himself! Su Luoxue is indeed an ice queen! A real ice queen! But today? This ice queen seems to have encountered an icebreaker! Man, this was a serious ice-breaking session! He swears that hes seen more expressions other than indifference on Su Luoxues face today than in the whole past year combined! "Secretary, from now on our main focus in the eSports Club will be on League of Heroes." Lu Xiaobu opened League of Heroes on his computer. "Fine!" Su Luoxue is going all out! Okay, you want to play? Ill play with you until the end! Just wait until I find someoneyoull see how I kick you out! This perpetual ice queen finally had a long crack broken through by Lu Xiaobu, the icebreaker! Honestly, even Su Luoxue herself doesnt know whats happening, with her temperament, shes actually able to have such a clash with someone! "Alright, now you go to the school and inform them to prepare for a LOL college tournament." Lu Xiaobu may joke and mess around, but hes not just playing for fun. "If I must, then Im going!" Su Luoxue said resentfully. Actually, normally, she wouldnt even dare to think about such things. Not to mention whether it would be approved or not, even if it were, how many would participate?! Just messing around, thats all! But today, she is clearly not her usual self! She stormed toward the door, seething with anger. "Come on, lets have a couple of practice matches!" Lu Xiaobu called out to everyone. Su Luoxue pricked up her ears upon hearing thispractice matches, could it be that this Lu Xiaobu actually has some skills? Then... "Should we play in easy mode or normal mode?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. "Pfft!" Su Luoxue nearly faceplanted! This is your so-called practice match? Playing against the AI?! What are you even trying to train?! ... Su Luoxue is not the type to go back on her word; since she promised Lu Xiaobu shed apply, then she would apply. She headed straight to the Student Unions club department. As soon as she entered, a buzz of discussion surrounded her. "Tsk tsk tsk, how come the ice queen is here?" "Didnt you know? Wang Chen was here earlier; he said hes left the eSports Club, and also said the club is about to be disbanded!" "I saw that too, could she be here to disband the club?" "Well, thats fine too, saves the eSports Club from taking up a spot!" "Enough with the gossiping behind backs!" "..." Su Luoxue listened to those voices with an unchanged expression. She had long become immune to such comments! Ever since she chose to stand alone and take this path, she stopped paying attention to the idle chatter of these people! Of course, except for that bastard Lu Xiaobu today! He is a real bastard! She entered the club department and started filling out the form. Filling out these forms was second nature to her! After all, she had been rejected countless times! She finished the form. Pushing open the door of the club department "Su Luoxue, what brings you here this time? To disband the club?" Seeing the ice queen Su Luoxue, Qi Ziru, the head of the club department, felt a headache coming. "No, I want to apply for an event!" Su Luoxue placed the form in front of Qi Ziru and said coldly. "Lets wait on that for a moment." Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Qi Ziru didnt even glance at the form; looking at Su Luoxue, he said, "Theres something else Id like to discuss with you first." Su Luoxues expression immediately turned even colder! Chapter 213 Don’t Disgrace Young Master [Seeking Favorites, Seeking Recommendations] Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Dont Disgrace Young Master [Seeking Favorites, Seeking Recommendations]"Shut up!" Before Qi Ziru could even speak, Su Luoxues face had turned ice cold, like a frost witch casting a powerful spell, her face seemingly covered with frost! She was all too familiar with this routine! Every time Qi Ziru said lets talk about something else first, he was planning to pin something on the eSports Club! This was exactly why she didnt want to come to the club department! It was all Lu Xiaobus fault, forcing her to endure this mistreatment! Yet, Su Luoxue knew Qi Ziru well, and he knew her just as well. So, Qi Ziru blatantly ignored Su Luoxues words and spoke for himself: "Your club just had someone leave, and now you dont even have six members. Of course, your eSports Club will surely be able to recruit six members." Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "However, your current conditions are not quite enough, and the school just so happens to want to establish a new club." "Look, could you maybe give up your activity room first?" "Dont worry, once you find enough members, we will surely arrange another activity room for you." While speaking dismissively, Qi Ziru started filling out a form. He knew arguing with Su Luoxue was pointless, better to make decisions and notify directly. "Who said were short of members?" Su Luoxue felt like her liver was in agony with frustration, these bastards, always exploiting their eSports Club. She pulled out Lu Xiaobus application form for joining the eSports Club and slammed it onto Qi Zirus desk: "See for yourself!" She had endured silently before just to guard against this. And she had prepared the documents in advance! "Um..." Seeing the form, Qi Zirus mouth twitched helplessly, "Alright, alright, I forgot, you recruited new members today too. With your beauty attracting a new member isnt surprising, after all, the young calf isnt afraid of the tiger. Lets wait for another couple of days then!" While saying this, he put the half-filled form for the activity room aside. Planning to use it after a couple of days. Cant waste it! Anyone who joins the eSports Club cant stay anyway! "You!" Hearing Qi Zirus words, Su Luoxue felt terrible! What does this mean? Do I, Su Luoxue, can only recruit people using my beauty? What do you take me for? And waiting another two days, saving the form especially? You think my eSports Club cant retain its members, dont you! In a fit of rage, Su Luoxue suddenly remembered the special treatment that Lu Xiaobu received. She decided to bluff! So, with a testing mindset, she coldly said: "The person joining us is Lu Xiaobu. Do you know Lu Xiaobu?" "Lu Xiaobu?" Qi Ziru frowned slightly: "Sounds familiar, who is he? Some rich young master?" This name, he seemed to have heard it indeed, but not much else. It cant be helped, this is Imperial, too many influential people, throw a brick from the third floor and you might hit countless imposing figures outside! Forget talking about being the wealthiest or not, even in different fields its like mountains apart, let alone different social circles, its like separated by the Himalayas! If you ask people from a rich second-generation circle. Whether they like Lu Xiaobu or not, they definitely all know Lu Xiaobu. However, these students, better forget about it! "Um..." Su Luoxue was also stunned. Qi Ziru didnt know Lu Xiaobus background, actually, neither did she! She was only encouraged by Xu Ronggui to recruit him because she saw many other club heads trying to woo Lu Xiaobu. Thinking it over, Su Luoxue said with a hint of nervousness: "Anyway, hes an important figure, you cant afford to offend him!" "Heh, you really arent suited for lying!" Qi Ziru smirked mockingly: "Alright, you can go now, Ive received the form, I will report it upwards!" His attitude was unmistakably dismissive, even a blind person could see it. This activity form, might just end up in the trash in the next second! "Fine!" Su Luoxue stormed out infuriated. She didnt care about Qi Zirus attitude, she never expected this college league approval to come through anyway! What she wanted was to keep her promise and then retaliate against that bastard! All the grievances she suffered were because of that bastard! ... Su Luoxue returned to the eSports Club. At this moment, Liang Lan and the others were back, playing games with Lu Xiaobu. Su Luoxue looked at the three women, and they also looked back at Su Luoxue. In those four pairs of beautiful eyes, there were faint sparks flashing. Women, as creatures, when they see a beautiful woman of the same level, theres an instinctive repulsion! Its nature, unrelated to personality! "Secretary, how was it?" While gaming, Lu Xiaobu casually asked, "You didnt just agree to any dinner appointment on my behalf, right?" Hearing this, Su Luoxue instantly got irritated, her mouth twitching in anger: "Still talking about dinner appointments? Application rejected!" Dinner appointments! Dinner appointments! Just hearing this word made her furious! The eSports Club was nearly losing even its storage room, and hes talking about dinner appointments! "Application?" Lu Xiaobu put down his mouse, turned his head, and furrowed his brows: "What application?" "The application for your collegiate tournament!" Su Luoxue said in a huff, "You just wanted me to embarrass myself, right?" "I told you to notify, not to apply for anything." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, speechless. Like he needed to apply? "And notify, are you kidding me!? I just mentioned your name, and they didnt even recognize you!" Su Luoxue felt amused by her frustration. "Oh!" Lu Xiaobu sighed, "You really fall short as a secretary." Then, he said to Liang Lan, "Sister Lan, you should go instead. This silly girl is too dumb!" "Am I dumb?" Su Luoxue felt like hitting someone! It was clearly you who intentionally sent me to embarrass myself! "Okay," Liang Lan stood up, nodding her head: "Young Master, what are the specific requirements?" "Not set yet, Ill notify them later." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and went back to playing his game. "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded and then turned to Su Luoxue, "Do you want to join?" If Su Luoxue didnt trust the Young Master, she would bring her along! To let her understand more about the Young Masters situation. After all, Su Luoxue was going to be the secretary at school! "Sure!" Su Luoxue immediately agreed! She indeed wanted to see what kind of reaction Lu Xiaobu would have when his own people were also turned away!" Thus, the two exceptional beauties headed together to the student council again. Along the way, the rate at which heads turned was extremely high. The little boys walking and bumping into walls, countless! However, both women equally didnt care about this. They entered the student council. "Su Luoxue is here again?" "No way! Since when did this ice queen start to pester relentlessly?" "And she brought someone along?" "But, its pleasing to the eyes! Two great beauties!" "Really? Then you watch! Dont climb into my bed tonight! Stay by the door!" "..." Arriving at the club departments entrance. A sudden reluctance surged in Su Luoxues heart. After all, having just been rejected, and now returning. It was hard for her to save face! "If you are the secretary of the Young Master, you shouldnt wear such an expression; it makes the Young Master lose face." Liang Lan glanced at Su Luoxue and said calmly. After speaking, she pushed the door open. Chapter 214: Five Ribs [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Five Ribs [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Su Luoxue? What are you doing here again?" Qi Ziru was slightly embarrassed because he had just thrown Su Luoxues activity application form into the trash can! He didnt entirely rely on his impression to decide on this activity. Its just that he genuinely thought this activity couldnt possibly be approved. League of Heroes? A collegiate league for gamers? Openly supporting students playing games? How could such a thing get approved, unless Emperor Electric is ready to become a target for everyone! "Heh heh!" Su Luoxue, with an expressionless face, saw her carefully filled-out form lying in the trash can. She was used to it. "Miss, what can I do for you?" Qi Zirus gaze turned towards Liang Lan as he involuntarily stood up and asked. At this moment, Liang Lans expression was not the same gentleness as when she was by Lu Xiaobus side. Instead, it was filled with a kind of dominance! This dominance was different from Su Luoxues indifference; it was an undeniable dominance, like an autumn breeze sweeping away fallen leaves! So, how could a mere student department head dare to put on airs in front of Liang Lan! "Can you make a decision?" Liang Lan spoke out and asked. "This..." Qi Ziru was stumped by her question. He suddenly became nervous and after thinking it over, he finally said, "Our student union president is inside, please!" He wasnt sure about the status of this person and didnt dare to speak rashly, so he could only do so! "Lead the way." Liang Lans tone did not waver at all. Su Luoxue, standing to the side, had her pupils dilate sharply! This Qi Ziru, she had dealt with often. Since when had he become so easy to talk to? He didnt even dare to ask what it was about and directly led them to the student union president?! Who exactly is this Liang Lan? And who is her master, Lu Xiaobu?! Suddenly, she felt a little panic in her heart, as if... she had unwittingly met someone extraordinary! Suddenly, a sentence Liang Lan had said earlier echoed in her mind"Dont embarrass Young Master!" Could it be, did she really make a mistake?! Embarrassed someone?! Under the guidance of Qi Ziru, the two women arrived at the student union office! sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Qi Ziru knocked on the door: "President, a lady is here to see you." "Hmm? Come in." A deep voice with a hint of doubt came through. "Both of you, please." Qi Ziru opened the door and stepped aside. The two women entered the office. Two people were inside the office, one sitting in the main seat, sporting a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a gentle appearance, but his clothes were stretched by his muscles, creating a strong visual impact. Liang Lan, seeing this person, suddenly had the corners of her mouth curl into an arc. She believed that if Young Master were here, he would definitely have a word for this guyscholarly beast! Totally! The other person looked pale and was wrapped in bandages, as if he had just been beaten. Liang Lan didnt know this person, but Su Luoxue didit was Wang Chen, who had just left the eSports Club! When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred. So, before the main characters of this occasion, Liang Lan and the student union president, had spoken, Wang Chen jumped up, eyes red, pointing at Su Luoxues nose and cursing: "You whore, you still dare to come here? Now without that little bastards protection, what are you worth?! You believe me, Ill get my brothers to disband your eSports Club right now!" Love turned to hatred, perhaps, is the greatest hatred in the world! Such hatred not only blinds the eyes but can also blind the heart! "Shameless!" Su Luoxue coldly spit out two words, entirely ignoring Wang Chen! "Im shameless?! Great!" Wang Chen seemed amused by anger. He looked at the student union president and said: "Haozi, its this Su Luoxue who made that little bastard beat me up, youve got to help your brother out!" The student union presidents name was Hu Hao! And he was childhood friends with Wang Chen! "Oh?" Hu Hao heard Wang Chens words but didnt take a stance. Instead, he crossed his arms and asked, "Su Luoxue, fighting is against the rules at school, isnt it?" This sentence was not heavy nor light, but it implied something! Clearly, he was seeking guilt on behalf of his childhood friend! "I..." Su Luoxue was startled by the question, somewhat at a loss for how to respond. If she offended the student council president, could her eSports Club still survive? A bitterness filled her heart! "Wait a minute, Ive always wanted to ask, who is this guy cursing in his mouth, who is he talking about?" Liang Lan suddenly spoke up, a glint of cold light flashing in her eyes. She wasnt there earlier, so she didnt know about Zhang Meng hitting Wang Chen. However, she could guess that Wang Chens injuries probably had something to do with Young Master. So... Was Wang Chen cursing Young Master?! "Its none of your business, stop talking nonsense, dont think you can randomly butt into conversations just because youre pretty! Old hag!" Wang Chen was like a mad dog, biting at anyone and everyone! "Old hag?! Very well!" Liang Lans complexion turned completely dark; she was called an old hag?! Staying by Young Masters side, her age had always been a sensitive issue to her. And now someone dared to call her old hag to her face! Well, very well indeed! But, more important than this, was the prior question; Young Masters reputation was more important than hers: "Su Luoxue, tell me, who was he cursing just now?!" "It was Lu Xiaobu." Su Luoxue gave a definite answer! "Indeed!" Anger filled Liang Lans face immediately. "What indeed? Old hag, buzz off!" Wang Chen continued to roar. Now his childhood friend stood right behind him, and he didnt believe anyone would dare lay a hand on him here. "Lu Xiaobu?!" But student council president Hu Haos eyes suddenly shrank, and he stood up abruptly. His previous calm and strategic demeanor vanished completely, he asked anxiously, "Wang Chen, tell me the truth, was it Lu Xiaobu who hit you? Lu Xiaobu as in Lu Bus Lu Xiaobu?!" "Yeah, its that bastard!" Wang Chen spoke fearlessly: "He dared to hit me, but with you on my side, Im not afraid of anything!" "Shut up!" Hu Hao suddenly shouted, his forehead covered in cold sweat! Has his childhood friend gone mad? To actually provoke Lu Xiaobu?! Wang Chen didnt know about Lu Xiaobu, Qi Ziru didnt know about Lu Xiaobu! But! All those club presidents knew about Lu Xiaobus identity, how could Hu Hao, the student council president, not know?! And he knew even more! Like how Ye Feng of Imperials Four Young Masters asked Lu Xiaobu out for dinner, got rejected, but had no complaints at all! "Hao-zi, you? That little king..." Wang Chen was startled and a bit confused. "Shut up!" Hu Hao roared again, forcefully silencing Wang Chens words. Then he immediately switched faces in a second, his countenance beaming with smiles as he walked out from behind the desk. He went over to Liang Lans side and bowed slightly, "It seems you are Young Master Bus person, you are..." "Liang Lan." Liang Lans voice was cold as she pulled out a business card and handed it to Hu Hao. "Hiss!" Hu Hao, hearing the name, and then seeing the business card, suddenly gasped, "So its Ms. Liang Lan, please have a seat, please have a seat, Ill pour you some tea!" Who is this Liang Lan?! Shes Lu Xiaobus agent, her words were as good as Lu Xiaobus own words! Definitely not someone to take lightly! "No need!" Liang Lan said coldly, "Just now this guy cursed at Young Master three times, and me twice, five ribs-total!" Chapter 215 I Seem to Hear Only 4 Sounds [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 215: Chapter 215 I Seem to Hear Only 4 Sounds [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Five ribs!" Liang Lans indisputable words echoed throughout the entire office! "Gulp!" The iceberg that is Su Luoxue couldnt help but swallow hard! She looked at Liang Lan in disbelief, truly unable to fathom that these words could come from the ever-gentle and refined Liang Lan! Demanding five ribs from someone at the drop of a hat!? Her mind involuntarily flashed back to the fierce giant she had seen earlier in the activity room! It seemed that it was for this very reasonbecause of Wang Chens dirty mouththat he received a kick which had left him in this state! "This..." Hu Hao also fell into hesitation! After all, Wang Chen was his childhood friend, and he really couldnt bring himself to hurt him! But... "I have zero patience for this!" Liang Lan pulled out her phone. "F*ck, what are you play-acting at! Hes my childhood buddy, hes my brother, do you really f*cking think youre..." Enraged, Wang Chen roared at Liang Lan, and in his demeanor, he seemed on the verge of charging forward to lay hands on her! "Thud!" Hu Haos expression darkened, and without further hesitation, he delivered a kick! Right in the chest! It was said before that Hu Hao was a "gentleman on the surface, beast beneath." Although his face was handsome, completed with gold-rimmed glasses, the muscles that lay hidden were not just for show! "Bang!" Caught off guard, Wang Chen was kicked back into the office desk! sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Crack! His chest, previously kicked by Zhang Meng, was struck hard once more, the sound of snapping ribs resounding sharply! "Spurt!" Wang Chen immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood! But the pain in his body couldnt compare to the terror in his heart: "Damn it, Hao, have you gone mad?! Ive been your brother since we were kids, and you actually lay a hand on me! Fuck your mom! Youre cursing out the whole damn neighborhood!" Hearing Wang Chens words, the anger inside Hu Hao became too much to bear, and he swung another kick: "Youre not done yet?! Because of your filthy mouth, how much trouble have you caused?! I dont hit you? If I dont hit you, will you even live to see tomorrows sun?!" Punching his own brother hurt him deeply too! But he had to do it! Wang Chens foul mouth needed to be taught a lesson! Always thinking hes the best in the world, acting as if hes invincible, thinking he could be fierce against anyone, wanting to kill this one, pick a fight with that one! But what about it? Such a person is actually the most pathetic! Once out of the safety of the school, in the real world, theyre nothing! "Bang!" The double impactboth physiological and psychologicalcaused Wang Chen to roll his eyes and faint. Su Luoxue stared in shock at the scene! No way! Hu Hao actually went through with it? Struck his own childhood friend?! All because of a single sentence from Liang Lan?! And she could somewhat guess how ruthless that kick had been! If Liang Lan was this fearsome, then Lu Xiaobu... She didnt dare to imagine! "Phew, Miss Liang Lan, lets talk somewhere else, shall we?" Hu Hao let out a long breath and said to Liang Lan. "No need, I just came to inform you that Young Master wants to organize a college student tournament. Get everything that needs to be prepared in order." Liang Lans tone remained unchanged. "What exactly is..." Hu Hao continued to ask: "Dont mind me, but I ultimately have to report this to the school." "Prepare what you must and dont ask about what you shouldnt." Liang Lan gave Hu Hao a look and turned to leave. "Yes!" Hu Hao smiled bitterly. Wang Chen, oh Wang Chen, do you see? Is this reality?! Does my status as student council president amount to anything?! Do you think just because I cover for you, you can do whatever you want?! But Im less than nothing in their eyes, and even this isnt Lu Xiaobu in person! Su Luoxue listened to this conversation dumbfounded! No way! Its one thing not to fill out a form, but now not even mentioning the project, time, or place! Just one sentence, and Hu Hao is off to prepare?! She remembered what Lu Xiaobu had saidTell them to come, who asked you to apply! Could this be the "telling" that Lu Xiaobu talked about? This is simply an order!! "And, if I heard correctly, I should have only heard four sounds." Liang Lan stopped in her tracks and spoke indifferently. Hu Hao turned to look at Wang Chen, who had already fainted, and gritting his teeth, he took hold of his own left hands ring finger with his right hand! "Crack!" He forcefully broke his own left ring finger! "Wang Chen is no longer capable, so Ive taken this hit for him. Please be magnanimous!" Hu Hao said with gritted teeth, inhaling sharply, and shivering. Whether Wang Chen really only broke four ribs or not is not important! Whats important is that if Liang Lan says so, then its so! "Oh?" Liang Lan couldnt help but turn around to take another look at Hu Hao, nodding slightly: "Not bad, I think the Young Master would like someone like you. Ill mention you to the Young Master." "Thank you, Miss Liang Lan, thank you Young Master Bu!" Hu Haos extreme pain couldnt hide the joy on his face. He didnt expect to gain anything unexpectedly, even if Young Master Bu didnt care at all. But as long as Miss Liang Lan remembered him, his future was a lot brighter! Meanwhile, Su Luoxues brain was completely blank! The president of the student council, Hu Hao, had already shocked people enough by laying hands on his childhood friend just because of a word from Liang Lan! And now, just because Liang Lan said she heard only four sounds, he broke his own finger?! Just like that, a finger is gone?! And moreover, Hu Hao is still thanking Liang Lan, thanking Lu Xiaobu?! Gratitude?! Do you really need to be feeling grateful now?! For some reason, she suddenly thought of those scenes in TV dramas where, after an emperor stripped and investigated a minister, causing his family to be executed, the minister was still knocking his head in gratitude! Maybe its the same principle now! Leaving the office. The two women walked back! "I told myself not to embarrass the Young Master, but I ended up letting that asshole scold the Young Master three times, a real failure! If Zhang Meng and the others find out, theyll nag!" Liang Lan complained on her way: "Never mind, Ill teach you another time when Im free." "Erm..." Su Luoxue looked at Liang Lan and fell silent! So? You mean youre still not satisfied?!! No, I want to ask, what do you all mean by not embarrassing Lu Xiaobu?! Ribs and fingers, and its still not enough! And, what do you mean by teach me?! Do you really see me as a secretary?! Im just... that... you... Never mind, I wont say anything! You call the shots, isnt that enough?! ... Back at the eSports Club. "Young Master, were back, and the message has been delivered." Liang Lan entered the eSports Club, her face once again wearing that gentle expression. "Hm." Lu Xiaobu nodded, then looked at Su Luoxue, who was mixed with emotions, and asked: "Secretary, whats wrong with you?" "Its... its... nothing." Su Luoxue quickly shook her head. Her previous urge to compete with Lu Xiaobu had completely vanished. She glanced at the few male students playing games with Lu Xiaobu, sighedHow envious she was of them, able to not know anything! "Alright, Sister Lan, lets get started." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily and said. Now that the university league issue had been notified, it was time to start moving forward step by step! The era of electronic sports is coming! You people who demonize gaming, are you ready to cheer for it, go crazy for it?! Chapter 217 My Sword is Your Sword [Extra Update for little Achen’s 10,000 Reward] Chapter 217: Chapter 217 My Sword is Your Sword [Extra Update for little Achens 10,000 Reward]The match has begun. Seeing the Sword Saint, both familiar and unfamiliar, Lu Xiaobu felt an inexplicable surge of enthusiasm in his chest! The Sword Saint on Earth could never return to his former glory, but here, he could. The current Sword Saint is still the one who, given a sliver of health, could turn it into a world of victory! Sword Saint, make these people tremble under your blade! ... Su Luoxue was initially very cautious, after all, this was a match with a wager involved. Not only did she have to be wary of any tactics from Lu Xiaobus side, but also of her teammates potentially throwing the game! However, as the game went on, she began to relax. Because her teammates were not throwing the game; indeed, they were playing at their highest level. And Lu Xiaobu, although he had chosen a new hero, was still just as terrible! Stealing the jungle creeps when he should. Stealing the kills when he should. Stealing the minion wave when he should. His teammates were still nearly penniless. And Su Luoxue had pretty much figured out the skills of this new hero Lu Xiaobu selected! They could definitely win! At this moment, Lu Xiaobus roommates were also having a hard time. Although they started off just playing along, after two matches, they were deeply immersed and couldnt extricate themselves! Such is the charm of LOL! So! They didnt want to lose, they really didnt! But! Alas! Not only them, even members of the eSports Club couldnt help it any longer! "Young Master Bu, you cant monopolize all the economy! Otherwise, youll lose!" Xu Ronggui couldnt help but give a reminder. "Hm?!" Su Luoxues eyebrows raised instantly. What did Xu Ronggui mean by that? He didnt want Lu Xiaobu to lose?! So he wanted them to lose?! What, he really wanted her to kiss Lu Xiaobu that badly?! However, what consoled her was that although Xu Ronggui was vocal, he continued to play at the top of his game! ... Mid lane, first turret, second turret, third turret! Su Luoxues team advanced layer by layer. Victory was in sight! Even the icy Su Luoxue couldnt help but reveal a triumphant smile. Hmph, serve you right for dragging me down! Are you dumbfounded now?! This is called strength! "Time for a team fight!" Lu Xiaobu, who had eaten up all the teams economy, was finally almost fully developed! "A team fight?" Ni Lin couldnt help saying: "Young Master Bu, were sure to lose a team fight now! Lets just stall!" Little Pepper also said: "Yeah, Xiaobu, we cant have a team fight! Apart from you, our team is basically full of defects! We cant win!" "Team fight!" Lu Xiaobu said definitively. "Okay then!" With a sigh, everyone gathered at the mid lane, preparing for the team fight! Seeing this, Su Luoxue suddenly rejoiced: "Since they want a team fight, lets give them the opportunity, gather up!" Wipe out the opposing team in one fell swoop! Both teams began to gather in the mid lane. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Luoxue proudly told her teammates: "Dont initiate, let them initiate, so they cant say we bullied them! Hmph!" In her excitement, Su Luoxue showed a little daughters demeanor for the first time! Gathering complete. However, Su Luoxues team had five people while Lu Xiaobus team only had four. Lu Xiaobus Sword Saint was hiding on the side. "Engage the fight! Remember, you only need to attack one person! Focus all your damage on a single target!" Lu Xiaobu gave the command again. "Yes!" Lu Xiaobus teammates, with a resigned attitude, spoke. They felt they had already lost. It was the last wave; whatever happens, happens. Since Lu Xiaobu asked them to play like that, they would just do so! Boom! The team fight was imminent! Lu Xiaobus teammates targeted Xu Rongguis Ashe! However, the opposing side noticed their intention and protected Xu Ronggui well. Then! The heart-wrenchingly tense battle began! Little Pepper went down, and Ashe lost a third of her health. Ni Lin went down, and Ashe was left with half of her health. Gao Yun went down, and Ashe was left with a third of her health. Shan Yifei struggled desperately, releasing his last skill before he too went down! Finally, Ashe was critically injured! "We won!" Su Luoxue said triumphantly. The team fight went beautifully; not one of them died while the entire enemy team was wiped outoh wait, theres still Lu Xiaobu left. But thats no big deal! How could Lu Xiaobu possibly take on all five of them alone! Then! Swoosh A hero, carrying the wind with him, burst out of the bushes at a flying speed! Its the Limitless Sword MasterYi with his ultimate activated! But Su Luoxue and the others didnt take it seriously; just one person, at most he could only kill the half-dead Ashe. So what? It wouldnt change the outcome of the battle! However! Lu Xiaobu locked onto his target and activated his SkillAlpha Strike! Swoosh A flash of light went by! The Sword Saint instantly charged into the crowd. The health of Su Luoxues teams new heroes plummeted instantly! Especially the fragile Time ElderLoki, was left critically injured in an instant! And Ashe was taken down directly! Boom! The Sword Saint made his presence known. "Focus fire, take him down immediately!" Su Luoxue immediately gave the order. As she said before, losing an Ashe is of no significant consequence! Suddenly, all their skills were aimed at Lu Xiaobu. Everyone present believedLu Xiaobu was as good as dead! "Sword Saint, go for it!" Lu Xiaobu was boiling with enthusiasm! He pressed his Q SkillAlpha Strike, again! Let you witness the real power of the Limitless Sword Master! "Though the enemies are numerous, they shall all be slain in one strike!" The Sword Saint seemed to have sensed Lu Xiaobus emotions and uttered his signature line! And so! Just when the other heroes attacks were about to hit the Sword Saint! Swoosh The Sword Saint vanished again! The enemys health plunged once more! Double Kill Xu Rongguis Twisted Fate blacked out! He didnt even have time to unleash his ultimate! The Card Master was left critically injured! Lu Xiaobu didnt stop at all! Alpha Strike! Swoosh Triple Kill The Card Master, who was trying to use his ultimate to escape, blacked out! Annie, who had activated her Skill, was left critically injured! Alpha Strike! Swoosh Quatary Kill Annie blacked out! At this moment! Only Su Luoxues Beastmaster, critically injured, is left! The Summoners Rift was now strewn with corpses! These corpses bear witness to the Sword Saints glory! Everyone at the scene was astonished! "Oh my God! Xiaobu, this is terrifying!" "One man took down four?!" "No, its five, the Beastmaster is going to die too!" "Limitless Sword Master?! What a formidable hero!" "He can actually win like this?!" "Penta Kill, its a Penta Kill!" "..." Su Luoxue looked at the Sword Saint in front of her and the corpses scattered around, feeling a sense of panic rising within her! What kind of hero is this?! What kind of damage is this?! Why is it so terrifying?! Watching the Limitless Sword Master rapidly moving towards her, she bit her silver teeth and turned tail to run! She would definitely not give away a kill, not at all! Yet... How could she possibly outrun Lu Xiaobus Limitless Sword Saint?! Alpha Strike! Swoosh Penta Kill A thrilling shout echoed throughout the entire stadium! Penta Kill! One person took down five! This is the glory upon a pile of corpses! This is the Sword Saints glory! At this moment, the master of Summoners Riftwas the Sword Saint! My sword is your sword! Chapter 218: The Player Who Was Brought to Tears by the AI【Please Bookmark, Please Recommend】 Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Player Who Was Brought to Tears by the AIPlease Bookmark, Please RecommendA Penta Kill has ended! Is there still any suspense in the upcoming battles? No! Su Luoxues team doesnt dare to team fight anymore! Otherwise, once that beam of light appears, it is destined to signify their complete annihilation! Bound to be Penta Killed! As for one-on-one battles? Heh! Take this heh, and experience it yourself! Everybody thought Lu Xiaobus team was bound to lose, but Lu Xiaobu alone turned the tide miraculously. victory (victory) As the purple sides crystal was destroyed. Lu Xiaobus team won! "Young Master Bu, youre freaking awesome!" "Holy moly, 666, I have nothing else to say except 666!" "Limitless Sword Master? I want to play this hero too!" "Thats insanely cool!" "..." And Su Luoxue was silent, staring at the computer screen with the word defeated. She lost, she was defeated! At that moment, she even felt that the wager wasnt that important anymore. "You tell me, even though the hero was just released, why were you able to play it?! And how did you know this playstyle?!" Su Luoxue stared at Lu Xiaobu. Unlike others who blindly idolized the Sword Saint, she had a clear analysis of the battle situation! Its not that whoever got the Sword Saint could slaughter left and right. It was because everyones gold in the early phase was funneled into Lu Xiaobu alone, that made this possible! This was a Four Protect One strategy that Lu Xiaobu forcibly came up with! She was someone who devoted her entire fervor to e-sports. So at this moment, there was nothing more captivating than this novel playstyle! "Fulfill the bet first, then Ill tell you," Lu Xiaobu said with a smile. "Fine!" Su Luoxue stepped forward and planted a kiss on Lu Xiaobus cheek. Her emotions were elsewhere right now, she couldnt even be bothered to feel shy! "Okay." Lu Xiaobu felt Su Luoxues lips, just as cool as her personality, and the corners of his mouth couldnt help but lift. "Now, tell me." Su Luoxues cold eyes blazed with an unusual fervor, fixing on Lu Xiaobu. "Actually, its very simple, you just need to know who I am, then this question will be solved," Lu Xiaobu shrugged. "What does this have to do with who you are?" Su Luoxue frowned, not understanding! She felt that Lu Xiaobu was being unreasonable again! "Kiss me again, and then Ill tell you," Lu Xiaobu said assertively. "You!" Su Luoxue was so frustrated it hurt! "Sister, let me tell you," Little Chili couldnt stand it any longer: "Xiaobu is the boss of LOL! Remember the update just now? This guy updated it specifically to defeat you guys." "Uh..." Su Luoxue, who was already confused, was even more bewildered after the explanation! What?! Lu Xiaobu is the boss of LOL? He developed LOL!? Oh my god! Well. The fact that Lu Xiaobu is the boss of LOL, though surprising, was still acceptable to her. After all, Lu Xiaobus prowess had been witnessed by everyone before! But! What drove Su Luoxue crazy was the second half of the statement! What?! The recent LOL update was just to defeat me?! Really, is that necessary?! To win a match, and its not even a major tournament, you made LOL undergo an emergency update and even introduced a new hero?! Very impressive indeed! Im convinced! Whats that word again? Right, a profligate! ... Su Luoxue is falling apart over there. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu is over here, continuing to give orders: "Sister Lan, spread the word, tell all the League of Heroes players that in three days, when the Nightmare mode AI is released, anyone who achieves Super God status and wins the match will receive a Shadow smartphone." To successfully host a competition, the key is to generate buzz! And combining Shadow with League of Heroes is a terrific choice! "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan took notes. "Well then, Sister Lan, go ahead and get busy." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand to give the instructions. "Understood, Young Master." Liang Lan left. She knew she was going to be swamped with work again! After all, what the Young Master said sounded simple, but the actual operations involved were numerous. Things like ramping up the production of Shadow, preventing cheating, devising advertising strategies, and so much more! Thats why she hardly ever gets a moment of rest! Its just a few words from the Young Master, and shes running around like crazy! Whats better now though, is that Su Luoxue is now by the Young Masters side, so she can worry a bit less about his daily needs. ... The next day, a piece of news exploded all over the internet. "Shadow smartphone collaborates with League of Heroes, are you tempted?" "Playing games can win you a Shadow smartphone, what kind of benefit is this?" "The sought-after Shadow smartphone can now be won by playing games, what are you waiting for?" In an instant. Whether they were followers of the League of Heroes or interested in Shadow, their entire social media circles were bombarded with this news! "Holy crap! Is Lu Xiaobu really that generous? Just play against AI and you can win a Shadow?" "The AI is hard, okay! Ive been getting wrecked by AI for three days now!" "Bullshit, whats so hard about playing against AI? Its just about bullying the computer." "Hey, big talker, you try it out yourself!" Fifteen minutes later! "F*ck, why is a normal AI match so hard? I actually got thrashed!" "Heh, now you dont think AI is easy, huh? You think Young Master Bus League of Heroes is the same as other games?" "But still, difficult as it may be, just play a few more matches and youll get the hang of it, Im determined to get that Shadow!" "Sorry, but please read the announcement clearly, it says Nightmare mode AI, which is a level even harder than the normal difficulty!" "Erm... Im off to practice heroes, no matter what, I have to give it a try!" Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "..." Just like the conversations above, a countless number of players who had never touched League of Heroes before, entered the game with contempt for the AI and played a couple of matches! Then, they were beaten senseless by the normal AI! Never underestimate the normal AI, when you first came into contact with League of Heroes, without talent, runes, or skill, how many of you werent trashed by the normal AI?! At that time, everyone thought that since the opponents were computers, they just needed to be reckless, to hack mindlessly to kill. However... After a few minutes, they would find out how wrong they were. These AIs turned out to be even stronger than some human opponents they encountered in matchmaking! Completely outplayed! This was just the normal AI. The Nightmare mode AI that Wrist Strength Company was carefully preparing under Lu Xiaobus orders, believe it, would certainly make these newbies cry their eyes out! However, as agonizing as the process was, it led countless people, cursing and swearing, to join the ranks of League of Heroes, becoming a Summoner. All competitive games are like this, you can curse your teammates as idiots, insult your enemies as simpletons, and even call the game trash. But then, youll still click to play the next round! Because! You want to smash that idiot! Thats the charm of competitive games! An irresistible charm! ... The time came to the third day. The Nightmare mode AI was freshly released! Lu Xiaobu started a match with an excited heart to try it out! Ten minutes later! "Bam!" Well, Lu Xiaobu is now changing his keyboard and mouse! The originals were smashed! And Su Luoxue and the others also started a match! Then... Chapter 219: The Golden Age Begins [Please Favorite, Please Recommend] Chapter 219: Chapter 219: The Golden Age Begins [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]Su Luoxue and her team also played a round against AI opponents at Nightmare Difficulty. Although they won in the end. But they were sweating profusely. And not a single one of them reached Super God status. Which means, even they were not qualified to receive Jueying! "This is too terrifying, is this still AI?" Xu Ronggui wiped the sweat off his forehead: "They can dodge, last-hit minions, team fight, and even execute strategies." "Indeed, this AI is really not simple." Su Luoxue also spoke with some lingering fear, they nearly lost. It would be a total embarrassment for eSports Club to lose to AI! However, she quickly realized: "Thats not right, AI is still AI, our biggest mistake was underestimating them, and not being familiar with the heroes." While saying that, she started holding a mini meeting for the eSports Club. Lu Xiaobu nodded secretly to the side, this Su Luoxue really had talent. Just as she said, AI at Nightmare Difficulty is still AI after all, theres still a pattern to follow, just need to play more and practice more, sooner or later one day, humans will still be able to slaughter AI! But all that is for later, right now this is enough! ... With the release of AI at Nightmare Difficulty, the event to win Jueying with a Super God victory officially kicked off! At this moment, the world truly witnessed how influential the two major cards in Lu Xiaobus hand, League of Heroes and Jueying, were! All internet cafes in Heavenly Dynasty started to become packed, needing to queue up for reservations! Day and night, no matter when you enter any internet cafe, the only game youd seeLeague of Heroes! Countless Summoners strive in Summoners Rift, battling against the Nightmare Difficulty AI that has defeated them over and over again! ... On the seventh day of the event. At this point, Summoners Rift was stained with the blood of countless heroes! But progress was also pleasing, those talented players had already figured out the patterns of the AI. Defeating AI at Nightmare Difficulty was no longer an unreachable task, many people or teams had done it! But while defeating the AI at Nightmare Difficulty, achieving Super God and winning Jueying, the first case had not yet appeared! ... T City! Midnight, 12 oclock! Fire Spring Internet Cafe. "Just one more, just one more!" Twenty-something Wu Cheng, eyes glued to the screen, kept muttering to himself while frantically maneuvering his hands. He was among the first batch of players who figured out the AI patterns, so he had already defeated the Nightmare Difficulty AI three times! And this time, he was challenging for a Super God victory, to win Jueying! At this moment, all three lanes of the AI team had been breached! His kill/death/assist score displayed a remarkable 12-2-18! The chat box also showed the recent reminder messagelike a god! This means, he just needs one more kill without dying to become the first person to obtain Jueying! He glanced at his health bar, then at the AIs defending against the minions, and his palms started sweating. Should he fight to the last breath? Or go home and replenish? Actually, the best option for him now was to go home and replenish, but he was not in a team, he was a solo player, he didnt know what kind of character his teammates were. And at this moment, his teammates seemed to have charged towards the enemy base. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Were his teammates eager to win, or were they not wishing for him to get Jueying, he didnt want to think about it anymore! He gritted his teeth! Charge for the wave! He rushed in! Engaging five Nightmare Difficulty AI with his health nearly depleted! Dodging, predicting, casting skills! A flow of operations like moving clouds and flowing water! The enemys squishy champions were already reduced to low health by him, just one more hit! He was also down to a sliver of health! Success or failure hinged on a single action! Wu Chengs eyes turned bloodshot! His attack flew towards the enemy, and the AIs attack flew towards him! At this moment, he had no room for any more operations! Wu Cheng let go of the mouse and keyboard, tightly closed his eyes, and waited for the judgment to come! Legendary (Super God)! A triumphant roar filled his headphones! This roar instantly stunned Wu Cheng! He opened his eyes in disbelief! And at this moment, his screen turned black, he had died too! Following closely, his teammates destroyed the enemy crystal! Victory! They won! And he, too, had achieved Super God! "Yay!" Wu Cheng suddenly ripped off his headphones, emitting a deafening roar! That roar instantly startled the entire internet cafe! Those who were asleep were abruptly awakened! "Whats going on?!" "Dont you know others are sleeping?" "The cafe isnt just for you!" "Manager, do something!" "..." The manager walked over and patted Wu Cheng on the shoulder: "Bro, calm down, some folks are sleeping here!" "I did it! I made it!" But Wu Cheng just hugged the manager and laughed heartily! "What happened?!" The manager was baffled: "Im not into that kind of thing!" "Im saying I won, and I went Super God!" Wu Cheng roared again! Instantly! The entire internet cafe erupted! Those who were previously cursing sprung to life! They all crowded around! "What?! Super God, won?!" "Oh my god! Seriously?!" "Really won?!" "Let me see, let me see!" "..." The manager got excited as well: "Really won?!" "Really, for real!" Wu Cheng was jumping around, showing off his battle record! Super God, victory! Those two icons were shining brightly on the screen! "Holy cow! 6666!" "Awesome, bro! Youre the first in the nation, right?!" "Thats insane! Our T city is gonna get famous nationwide!" "Bro, shake hands with me, pass me some of that luck!" "Me too! Manager, add five more hours for me, Im gonna battle till dawn!" "..." In an instant, Wu Cheng became the star of the internet cafe, with everyone hugging and shaking hands with him! Hoping to share a bit of his luck! "Hold on, just wait a sec, call Jueying Company now, tell them, quick!" The managers mind was still clear. "Right, right, right! Hurry, we cant let someone else snatch the opportunity!" "Make the call! Make the call!" "Will someone answer the phone at this hour?" "There will be, definitely!" "..." Wu Cheng excitedly made the call and explained his situation. "Alright, please provide us with your account number, we need to verify its authenticity." The customer services gentle voice came through. "Okay!" Wu Cheng quickly reported his account number! "Hello, weve verified it, and youre correct, congratulations on becoming the nations first player to achieve Shadows Form! And you will have the opportunity to come to our headquarters to receive this honor in front of the whole country!" The customer service confirmed with excitement! "Yay!" The internet cafe boiled over once again! The netizens were even more excited than Wu Cheng! The first person to achieve Shadows Form had emerged, right before their eyes. They could brag about this for a whole year! The manager went crazy: "Tonight, all internet fees are on me!" "Yay!" The atmosphere soared once again! The internet cafe owner, hearing the commotion, came downstairs, frowning, and looked at the manager: "Whats going on? Its a mess!" "Boss, heres the thing!" The manager explained excitedly! "Great!" The boss jumped up on the spot: "Dont worry about the manager, Ill treat everyone today, give everyone another bottle of water! Manager, Im giving you a months bonus!" He wasnt foolish, what was this small expense? As the internet cafe where the nations first player to achieve Shadows Form frequented, the potential profits were unimaginable! It would be like the lottery shop that sold the winning ticket, attracting people to come non-stop! "Thanks, boss!" Everyone got even more excited! Lu Xiaobus eSports Golden Age, thus began! Chapter 220: Confronting the Entire Era [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend] Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Confronting the Entire Era [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]The next day! Wu Cheng was invited to the LOL headquarters, where a news conference took place! In front of all LOL players, he was awarded the first-ever Shadow phone of this event. This Shadow phone is not only practical but also has much higher commemorative value! Because its back was frosted and engraved with his main heroWandering MageRui Zi! And there was also a line of textDedicated to the first player to conquer the nightmareWu Cheng! When Wu Cheng received this Shadow phone, tears instantly filled his eyes! This was not just a phone, but a symbol of glory! This moment made countless LOL players excited! "Such an amazing Shadow, I want it, I absolutely have to have it!" "No way, I want it too!" "Damn, I was so close! Otherwise, it wouldve been me up there today!" "Isnt the frosted back of that phone ridiculously cool!?" "This is a belief for my whole life!" "Even though I already have a Shadow, I still want that one!" "..." At this time, Liang Lan announced at the conference: "Custom-designed Shadow phones will only be given to the top ten winners." A short sentence, yet it brought the emotions of all LOL players to a climax! They instantly felt urgency! Only ten, just ten! They had to act fast! Although there would be other Shadow phones for those who came after, could they be the same as this one? ... This press conference was not only watched by players, but also by various business tycoons. Each one of these tycoons, who could make industries in the Heavenly Dynasty tremble with a stomp, praised the initiative. Real Estate Tycoon: "A very beautiful marketing plan, promoting the development of two industries simultaneously, and enhancing the class of the Shadow phone!" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Internet Tycoon: "This Lu Xiaobu really dares to challenge the world! No matter which industry, hes forging ahead, opening a new erafrom cola to Shadow phones, to live streaming, and now games. Each venture is unprecedented!" Restaurants Tycoon: "Ah, I have to say, even as a prodigal, its not easy. Who can truly understand the courage and the mindset required?" Media Tycoon: "A prodigal at the helm of the era, we might have to look up to him in the future!" Publishing Tycoon: "However, to tell the truth, your game might face greater difficulties this time! This is no longer progressing against the stream; this is moving like sailing against the current!" "Lu Xiaobu, lets see the strength of the prodigal in you! If you succeed, all is well. But if you dont, Im afraid youll truly become the ultimate prodigal!" "After all, what you are up against this time is not just some enterprise, some company, but an entire era!" ... "Xiaobu, youre too incredible, making our game popular all over the country so easily?" Hot Pepper, looking at the exponentially growing downloads and concurrent online numbers of LOL, excitedly said. "Are you kidding? Who am I?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled. Su Luo Xue was also thrilled! What does the popularity of LOL represent? It means that e-sports is about to become popular too! This Lu Xiaobu actually did it, with his sole effort brought e-sports from the Dark Age into the Golden Age! Lu Xiaobu is just too amazing! "Secretary, a cola!" Lu Xiaobu said. "Right away, boss!" Su Luo Xue immediately ran to get the cola! Yeah, she has already accepted her role as a secretary! The others at the eSports Club looked at the former ice queen turned secretary, with each of their heads aching! They were both envious and helpless! Who else but Young Master Bu could smash an iceberg into a snowball like that! Liang Lan sighed as she watched the scene unfoldSu Luoxue has been thoroughly conquered by the Young Master! Another competitor... cough cough, I didnt say anything, you all didnt hear anything. ... However. Just when things were looking up. A certain kind of rhetoric that inevitably appears in an era that demonizes games quietly exploded! "Can someone tell me what the heck League of Heroes is all about? Openly promoting games?" "This trivial pastime of games that erodes ones ambition, its actually causing such a stir?!" "These games should never have existed, its all because of this gameso what if I smashed his computer!? He actually divorced me over it!" "..." Among these comments, a person named Chen Kangle shot to prominence! His Weibo is verified, seemingly as a professor at some no-name university. While the university isnt famous, having the title of a professor is still very impressive! Chen Kangle: "I am firmly against enticing and poisoning the youth with bad games, questioning the production or business of these games that are detrimental to the healthy growth of young people. Especially recently, a certain wastrel from a rich family who is promoting his enterprises, hes just like a meaningless drug dealer! A scum of society, I strongly suggest a thorough investigation into this person!" No sooner said than done! In a matter of moments, it topped the Weibo hot search list! Although Chen Kangle didnt name names, anyone with half a brain could tell he was talking about Lu Xiaobu! Instantly, those harboring animosity towards Lu Xiaobu, towards LOL, towards the Lu Family, all used this Weibo post as a gun to start bombarding Lu Xiaobu! Gong Shu, a fresh meat celebrity who had been dealt with by Lu Xiaobu. Was the first to retweet with a comment to amplify its impact: "Professor Chen is right, those who harm the mental health of young people are no different from drug dealers!" Fang Yunlong, insulted to his face by Lu Xiaobu, who fought with Han Meng at the award ceremony, and former Golden Fire Award juror, former Emperor Electric University professor. Shamelessly echoed: "Thats right, as an educator, its evident from Lu Xiaobus daily life that hes using the dirty money of young people to live a life of luxury! He is trash! Including that A Chinese Odyssey movie, its also trash!" Wang Chen, a former member of the eSports Club who was beaten and hospitalized. Twisting facts and quoting out of context: "Yes, I can prove itlook at the photos Ive posted, youll know! I was beaten up like this because of this game! Its so harmful; its downright distorting ones values! Lu Xiaobu is an idiot!" Han Meng, who was previously reprimanded by real filmmakers because of Lu Xiaobu. Didnt comment much, but silently liked Chen Kangles Weibo post. Which her fans accidentally discovered and dug out! A mother claiming to be paralyzed wept bitterly: "My child was ruined by this game, he beat me to this state! Oh my ungrateful son! Its all because of this poisonous game! Everyone, please stand up for me!" ... Countless similar remarks sprang up one after another. With Chen Kangles comments leading the charge, they completely pushed Lu Xiaobu into the eye of the storm! In no time at all, Lu Xiaobu suddenly became the biggest trash of the Heavenly Dynasty, bar none! Zhang Meng, Li Jin, Liang Lan, Hot Pepper, Wu Qianmin, Su Luoxue, Lu Hongbin, Lu Wenhuo, Lus father, and so on and so forth. They were all furious, with each of their faces incredibly grim! Normally, someone badmouthing Lu Xiaobu would have to pay the price of a rib! Now, with such slander! What price do you think youll have to pay?! Chapter 221: People Who Play Games Are Trash! [Extra for 6000 votes] Chapter 221: Chapter 221: People Who Play Games Are Trash! [Extra for 6000 votes]Lu Xiaobus fans were infuriated. But before they could erupt, the gamers exploded! "Chen Kangle you damn bitch, what do you mean by this?! We finally have a game to play, how did it become the cancer in your mouth?!" "Do you realize that this is the game that moved even America because of Lu Xiaobu!" "This is a game that brings glory to our country, and you have the face to shame it like this?!" "Fucking idiot, no need to explain! Going to your mom!" "..." Gong Shus Weibo. "Idiot, with neither acting skills nor integrity!" "I really misjudged you, becoming a hater without further explanation!" "Trash!" "..." Shi Yunlongs Weibo! "You are the trash! Youve been kicked out by Emperor Electric and still have the cheek to label yourself as an educator!" "When were you ever thinking of being an educator during your shady times?!" "Got no shame? Trash!" "..." Wang Chens Weibo. "Seriously, Im too lazy to curse you, what are you even counted as?! Joining the commotion?" "Beating you is letting you off lightly! You should be wiped out!" "Dont think I dont know why you got beaten, why dont you talk about your hooliganism back then?!" "I am embarrassed for having someone like you as a classmate!" "..." Han Mengs Weibo. "Stop pretending, will you? Other pieces of trash at least come out and say a word, what about you?" "Shameful and eyeball rolling!" "Liking their posts, when its your time to die, Ill like it too!" "..." That so-called paralyzed mother. "Can you stop your act? Ive already tracked your IP. Just last month you were pretending to be a tough-willed boy! What, did you complete a gender change and childbirth surgery in just one month?!" "Have you no shame?! Did you ever ask your mom what your gender really is?" "And stop using mother, dont insult the word!" "..." "Good scolding!" Xiao La Jiao was watching, feeling immensely refreshed: "Such trash deserve to be cursed!" "It seems LOL has really become ingrained in peoples hearts!" Liang Lan also nodded: "Although the punishment isnt enough, the momentum is strong!" However, their happiness lasted less than two seconds before being ignited by anger once again! Just saw the Internet addiction expert Chen Kangles Weibo update again. "It seems this cancer is indeed harming people deeply. Just now, roughly over seven hundred thousand people cursed at me. I looked carefully, among them, 70 to 80 percent of the sentences are incoherent." "And among these, 61% are insulting and abusive, 28% are vile threats. All of this is worth pondering - what has made these gamers become so irrational?" "As an Internet addiction expert with higher education, Ive decided to repay hatred with virtue and properly educate these poisoned students!" "Firstly, you say you finally have a game to play, havent you played other games before? Remember, what Ive always opposed are harmful online games!" "Secondly, bringing glory to your country? Youve been poisoned to the extent where you believe anything youre told. I cant even imagine. The day you mimic games and take up knives for violence, its going to be truly terrifying!" "Thirdly, those who insulted that mother, dont you have parents? Wont your parents be heartbroken seeing this? Please go ask your parents, does it hurt their hearts seeing you act like this?!" "..." Chen Kangle began his long speech on his Weibo, with a series of numbers highlighting his so-called professionalism. That logically bulletproof catchphrase which prevents any opponent from saying I support harmful online games - "Ive always opposed harmful online games," was brought up time and again! However, when this Internet addiction expert was asked what constitutes a harmful game. He always skirted the issue vaguely, still using that ambiguous slogan as a shield. Because he needed to cover up the fact that as an Internet addiction expert, who should know more about games than the gamers... He is actually ignorant about games! After all, his essence has always been opposition to all games! He even made the statementthat a judge doesnt need to have committed all crimes to be qualified to judge. He dared to elevate himself to the position of a judge, while all the gamers became criminals! As for the moral card, it was played to the fullest by him. Under his seemingly civilized description, he portrays all gamers as unforgivably wicked. Please note, his target is no longer just LOL but all gamers who play any kind of game. Simply put, his message is thispeople who play games are trash! They dont even deserve to be human!!! He made it very clear in his Weibo post! These are his exact words! "Girls who play games are not worthy of becoming wives! Mothers!" "Boys who play games are not worthy of becoming husbands! Fathers!" "And students who play games are utterly unworthy of being children!!!" As soon as he posted his lengthy discourse. It completely detonated the entire internet! Players of all games were furious! "WQNMLG! All gamers are trash!? The hell is wrong with me playing games!?" "Are we supposed to just chop firewood, cook, feed pigs, and sheep all day?!" "Were unworthy of being children, what right do you have to say that!?" "..." However! What really chilled the hearts of gamers happened! Because their parents, their elders came out! And they actually showed support for Chen Kangle! "I think what Professor Chen said makes a lot of sense, just look at those kids, theyve all become so foul-mouthed because of games!" "Yes, I feel the same way, my child used to get stellar grades, always coming first in class, but ever since he got into gaming, he even came second in one exam!?" "Children, look at the data Professor Chen cited, how disheartening! Have you all fallen so low?!" "Im going back right now to uninstall my childs games!" "Professor Chen, do you have any methods to help kids get off their net addiction?" "..." This last question, it hit right on Chen Kangles G spot, and he immediately replied: "Of course, Ive personally opened a net addiction treatment course in real life, you can look it up, heres the address, we have both short-term and long-term courses! It will definitely help you!" It seems, everything before was just for show, only this sentence was real! This prick is all about making money, taking the parents money! For this, they do not hesitate to lose all sense of morality! Seeing the comments these parents posted, the gamers were truly at a loss for words, the frustration in their hearts nearly driving them insane! Not allowing to play games! Not allowing to be involved with games! Just study? Just work? Sar?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Anyone who touches games is trash!? Are they just trash in their parents eyes?! Is all their hard work fake?! They desperately need someone to stand up and speak for them! So, they flocked to Lu Xiaobus Weibo to leave messages! "Young Master Bu, I beg you, please stand up for us!" "Im that person who came in second after playing games, but that was because I had a fever, and the person who got first was my gaming buddy!" "Young Master Bu, we are aggrieved! Were not trash!" "Why do you have to treat us like this?!" "..." After finishing a game, Lu Xiaobu finally saw these comments, his face instantly darkened! Net addiction treatment facility? All gamers are trash!? These things reminded him of the once Emperor Electric! Those kids who were tortured to the brink of life! If such people also appeared in this world, he could not stand by and do nothing! However, just as he was about to issue a statement. Chen Kangle posted another Weibo, talking about something! Upon seeing this Weibo, rage and murderous intent swept through Lu Xiaobus entire being! He deleted the Weibo he had drafted! And wrote a new one! "Chen Kangle! Im telling you! If the truth behind what you said is as I suspect! Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I wont let you go!!!!!" This was a Weibo full of anger, even murderous intent! Chapter 222: Shocking, a talking salted fish! Chapter 222: Shocking, a talking salted fish!A talking salted fish! Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Did the title trick you into coming here? You feel like Elder Feng is starting to fool around again, dont you? Feel like hitting Elder Feng?! Lets put the idea of hitting Elder Feng aside for now. Since youve been tricked into coming here, dont leave just yet! Lets chat about something trivial. Actually, its about this book going on the shelves! On June 22nd, at noon, which is today, the book will be on the shelves! Not only are you surprised, but I am too! Because I, Elder Feng, also received this news out of the bluelife is just full of too many surprises! For example, Elder Fengs old book was a surprise among surprises. After all, it once unexpectedly made me want to die! Because it shattered all my illusions and dreams, making even eating a problem, and I could only rely on friends for help! Regarding this, the readers of the old book all know, so I wont elaborate further! You should all know about Elder Fengs update volume; in the new book, it may not be the top one or two, but its in the top five! After all, how many are as foolish as Elder Feng who, during the free period, crazily updated four or five Chapters a day? They all say Im foolish, saying that only after the book is on the shelves and I do frequent updates, will I make money, so why not save the drafts for after its on the shelf! I say, no, my readers enjoy it, I can write, so Ill publish it! They say: Youre really foolish. How "watered down" are the collections on the Creation platform? How low is the reader retention? Dont you, an old street beggar who has experienced desperation, know? I say: I know, but Im foolish! I was foolish enough to stake everything on writing to support myself, and, yes, I failed! I was foolish enough that, after failing, I still chose not to look back, and, yes, I hope I wont fail! They say your reader retention is poor, they say your readers are "water," I dont believe them! Old book, I dont believe it! This time, I still dont believe it!!! I just dont believe that you wont support Elder Feng! Thats enough, I wont say more! If I continue, itll sound like Im trying to gain sympathy! A word from the bottom of my heart! Whether Elder Feng can continue, whether Ill starve, really depends on all of you! I dont ask for much. Ive subsisted on instant noodles and steamed buns for over a year; can I afford just one more packet of pickles?! Subscribing to one Chapter only costs ten Book Coins, which is ten cents; for VIPs, its eight Book Coins, which is eight cents. Do you think its worth it for Elder Feng, after toiling for more than ten hours, updating five Chapters, to spend fifty cents? Oh yes, right, almost forgot, those who havent seen the latest Chapter, hurry up, its going to be pay-to-view after it goes on the shelves! Lastly, one more thing, I hope everyone supports the official release, supports Elder Feng, and helps end Elder Fengs despair! Otherwise, I really dont know if I should continue! Chapter 223 - 222: Chen Kangle, Here I Come [Subscribe Please] Chapter 223: Chapter 222: Chen Kangle, Here I Come [Subscribe Please]Just a minute before Lu Xiaobus Weibo post. Chen Kangle, seizing the moment to promote his internet addiction rehab center, posted a Weibo. "Originally, I didnt want to say this because it disrespects the deceased, but in order to prevent similar incidents from reoccurring and with the familys consent, I choose to disclose this." "Just today, this morning, in our city, a teenager addicted to gaming, trying to mimic a flying action of a character in a game, actually jumped from the 24th floor!" "Such a poor kid, only fifteen years old! Isnt all this the poison of that game? Its heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking!" Beneath the Weibo post, he shared a news report about a teenagers suicide. The description matched closely with what he said! They all pertained to a teenager deeply addicted to an online game, failing to heed advice, choosing to commit suicide by jumping from a building. As this Weibo post came out! Instantly! Lu Xiaobu and LOL, already the center of controversy, were immediately pushed to the brink by Chen Kangles invisible accusations! "I really didnt want to curse! But! Lu Xiaobu! Youre just an inhuman bastard!" "Look at that child, how young he is! How can you bear it?!" "You still claim your game does no harm and even brazenly promote it!?" "You really deserve to die! You should be buried alongside that child!" "Im telling you gamers, from now on, Ill beat up anyone I see playing!" "Yes, what gaming, computers, mobile phones, Im going home and smashing them all!" "..." These parents, led and even brainwashed by Chen Kangle, are not just talking big! Most notably, just having received the first custom-made Shadow model in Heavenly DynastyWu Cheng! His custom phone was smashed to pieces by his parents right in front of him! And they even said they would send him to Su Kangles internet addiction rehab center! All this was captured on video and uploaded online. All the gamers fell silent. They watched the Shadow model phone they desperately strived for, campaigned for... Battered by the hammer into fragments. Listening to Wu Chengs frantic screams... Turn into almost breathless, despairing sobs! Feeling the almost indifferent attitude of Wu Chengs parents, prepared to send him into internet addiction rehab. Tears started to fill their eyes. At this moment, their hearts seemed to have died! Wu Cheng is an adult yet still treated this way by his parents. What about them then? What fate awaits them!? The gamers hearts died, yet this Weibo post received high praise from Chen Kangle! "Well done, you are the real parents. Come, Im waiting for you, I will tame him into a well-behaved child, dont worry, our rehab is civilized, we dont use violence!" Many parents also praised highly! "Well done!" "Thats the way to do it, what gaming!" "They should be studying and working properly!" "Let Professor Chen properly help them overcome their internet addiction!" "..." But the gamers were so disheartened they couldnt say a word! They really wanted to argue backthere are currently no heroes in LOL that can fly, they cant even jump over walls! This so-called imitation of a hero jumping to mimic flight is utterly nonsensical! Blatantly lying with their eyes open! This Chen Kangle has become so emotionally unhinged he cant even bother to find a bit of evidence! But they dare not speak, because if they do, theyll become targets! No one will listen to them! They may even be sent to some internet addiction rehab center! Despair! This is the sentiment of all gamers! And at this time! A Weibo from Lu Xiaobu, filled with murderous intent, came out! "Chen Kangle! Im telling you! If the truth behind this matter is what I think it is! Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go!!!" Lu Xiaobu was furious, his anger limitless! If the news reports are true, that this child committed suicide by jumping off a building because of an addiction to online gaming, after refusing persuasion! Then the reason for his suicide is definitely not the gaming addiction, but that so-called... Persuasion! Interestingly, this young man actually belongs to the same city as this Chen beast! This so-called persuasion definitely deserves deeper thought! "Lets go, Sister Lan, let the plane pick us up, we are going to find Chen Kangle!!!" Lu Xiaobu stood up and walked away. Zhang Meng, Li Jin, Liang Lan, Xia La Jiao, Wu Qianmin, Su Luoxue, not a single one missing! This time, everyone is in action! ... Meanwhile, the Weibo post by Lu Xiaobu sparked heated discussions online! The parents supporting Chen Kangle, represented by Wu Chengs parents, thought this was proof of Lu Xiaobus unchanging bad behavior, stooping to any level for money! So, they immediately stood on their moral high ground and bombarded Lu Xiaobu. "You are a spoilt brat, dont even think about turning our kids into failures as well!" "For money, have you lost all sense of conscience?"

Do you have any shame?!" sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You little bastard!" "..." These people were cursing. But the gamers were sending private messages to Lu Xiaobu, and deleting them after sending! They have reached the point of being afraid to even post comments! "Young Master Bu, please seek justice for us!" "Young Master Bu, we are all counting on you!" "Please tell them, we are not trash!" "Young Master Bu, I hope you uncover the real truth!" "..." ... After getting off the plane. The group went straight to the so-called Internet addiction treatment center where Chen Kangle was! The closer they got to this so-called treatment center, the more heartbreaking scenes they witnessed. Many parents with indifferent faces that showed disappointment forcefully dragging their children towards the center. And there were also parents leading kids who looked obedient, but whose eyes were lifeless, filled only with fear, obediently following their parents commands as they walked out! The contrast between these children before and after treatment probably represents the start and end of the so-called treatment for internet addiction! Upon reaching the iron front gates resembling a prison, this phenomenon was even more intense! Parents were actually waiting one after another to send their own children into hell! It was disheartening! This made Lu Xiaobus anger surge even more! "Li Jin, clear the area! Zhang Meng, open the gate!" Lu Xiaobu commanded in a cold voice. "Yes!" Zhang Meng and Li Jin accepted the orders simultaneously. "Hey, what do you think youre doing!?" The security guards at the gate immediately tried to stop them. Li Jin knocked down all the guards with just a few punches and kicks. Zhang Meng went straight up to the iron gate and kicked it! "Bang!" The iron lock behind the gate was kicked open! Lu Xiaobu looked at this prison and let out a cold laugh, then strode inside! Chen Kangle, Im here! I said it, I wont let you go! Chapter 224 - 223 Do You Have Internet Addiction? [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 224: Chapter 223 Do You Have Internet Addiction? [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]The parents, seeing Lu Xiaobus actions, started shouting all at once! "What are you doing? Who are you!?" "How dare you barge in like this!?" "Youve disrupted Professor Chens treatment, can you bear the responsibility?" "..." However, their cries were clearly ignored. As Lu Xiaobu entered through the iron gate, He saw two small buildings, and a bare courtyard! Nothing with sharp edges could be seen in the yard! Clearly, it was to prevent something! "Zhang Meng, close the door!" Lu Xiaobu commanded again. "Yes!" Zhang Meng closed the iron gate, then grabbed the broken iron lock on the door and clamped it down hard, sealing the iron gate shut! "Come on, find that Chen Kangle for me." Under Lu Xiaobus lead, the group started to search through each and every room. ... The first room was kicked open by Lu Xiaobu. This was a group of children who had already completed their treatment! They sat motionless on the chairs with vacant eyes and filled with fear, presenting a pitiable obedience! They were undergoing final education. A teacher was giving them a lesson. Or rather, the final brainwashing! The content was very simple. Five sentences in total: "I should not play games!" "Im addicted to the internet!" "Professor Chen is a good person!" "He cured my internet addiction!" "Mom and Dad, Ill listen to you!" The teacher saw someone had arrived and immediately yelled: "Who are you? How did you get in here!?" "Knock him out, tie him up, throw him aside, well deal with him together later!" Lu Xiaobu didnt say another word and turned to leave. Li Jin went up and punched the teacher unconscious, then found some rope to tie him up! And throughout this entire process, those children didnt move at all from beginning to end! As if they had turned into fools! ... "Bang!" Lu Xiaobu kicked open the second room. This was a group of half-finished children! They were being trained by an instructor. Likewise, to put it accurately, they were being intimidated! The children were crying and screaming. "Mommy, I want my mommy!" "Dad, please save me!" "Mommy, where are you!?" "..." The instructor was waving a rubber stick, striking the table with loud slaps: "Whos itching for a beating?! Ill tell you, if you dont kick the internet addiction, youll have to undergo treatment again!" His fierce tone, coupled with the treatment he mentioned, frightened the children to shiver continuously. "Knock him out, tie him up!" Lu Xiaobus tone became even colder! Seeing the instructor knocked out, the children immediately cried and yelled for their mothers. Liang Lan and the others quickly began to comfort the children. However, the children dared not trust any adult. Looking at the pitiful children, the emotions of the four women were also ignited! They finally understood what Lu Xiaobu meant! S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. People like Chen Kangle deserved to die! ... One room after another was opened. Lu Xiaobu and his group witnessed a complete good children production line! Is this a hospital?! This was simply a pet training camp where disobedience was met with beatings! There were solitary confinement rooms, interrogation rooms, and pharmacies where children were forced to take medicine, among others. As they advanced, One after another, Beast Tamers with different identities were knocked out and thrown in the yard. One after another, children were released! ... "Boom!" Lu Xiaobu kicked open another room! At the center of the room was a bed! Lying on the bed was a little boy, his eyes filled with fear and pain! The boys hands and feet were all tied up, and his mouth was gagged! Yet even so, the boy was still making heart-wrenching muffled cries! The target Lu Xiaobu was looking forChen Kanglestood before the bed, holding a pair of iron rods in his hands. The tip of the iron rod was pressing against the little boys temple. The other end had two wires. The wires were connected to a so-called Electrotherapy Device! Chen Kangle was still talking: "Does it hurt? If it hurts, thats right, thats your internet addiction! Without the addiction, you wouldnt feel the pain!" When Lu Xiaobu saw this scene, the corner of his mouth curled up into a cruel arc. Did all this still need an explanation?! No need anymore! "Drag him out!" Lu Xiaobu commanded. Zhang Meng stepped forward, grabbed Chen Kangle by the back of his neck, and dragged him straight out! Chen Kangle, who hadnt recovered from his surprise, was suddenly choked by his own clothes and began to cough. While coughing, he also shouted, "Who are you!? Why are you breaking in here!? What do you want to do?!" No one paid attention to him. Liang Lan, who had followed, quickly and sympathetically released the child. Once released, the child immediately clung to Liang Lan and started sobbing uncontrollably, unable to stop the tears! Coming to the courtyard. Chen Kangle was tied to a post. "Sister Lan, take the children aside." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand towards the four women and then showed a gentle smile to the children: "Go play with the sisters." "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan immediately led the three women and gently took the children to another room that looked like a resting place for Chen Kangle and his companions. All four women knew that Lu Xiaobu didnt want the children to see what was coming next! At this moment, Chen Kangle was still roaring: "Who are you!? This is trespassing, Im going to sue you in court!" "Who am I?!" Lu Xiaobu stared at Chen Kangle; the previously gentle smile once again turned cruel: "Im the very Lu Xiaobu you were cursing so gleefully! What, you cursed me without even having seen my picture?!" "Lu Xiaobu!?" Chen Kangles pupils dilated in an instant: "You! You! You! What do you want to do!?" He never imagined that the same Lu Xiaobu he was just arguing with online would arrive here in such a short time! And with such brutal methods, he was directly tied up. A feeling called panic surged from his heart. "Im not going to do anything, just helping you cure your internet addiction!" Lu Xiaobu turned to Li Jin and said, "Go get his Treatment Device!" "Yes!" Li Jin entered the room, took out the Electrotherapy Device, and placed it beside! "I dont have internet addiction!" Upon seeing the Electrotherapy Device, Chen Kangle immediately began struggling! No one knew the power of that device better than he did! He didnt want to be shocked! "No, no, no, you do." Lu Xiaobu shook his head, picked up the Electrotherapy Device, and placed the tip of the rod at Chen Kangles temple: "I remember its right here, isnt it?" "Dont!" Chen Kangle suddenly became fearful. "Turn it on." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Li Jin immediately turned the knob! Crackling! The sound of electric current passed through! "Ah!" Chen Kangle immediately started to scream from the shock! A sharp pain spread from his temple throughout his body! "Stop." Lu Xiaobu gave the order, then looked at Chen Kangle: "Does it hurt?" "Are you freaking kidding me!" Chen Kangle roared. "If it hurts, thats right, thats your internet addiction! Without the addiction, you would feel no pain!" Lu Xiaobu said, smiling from ear to ear. Yet this smile seemed devilish in the eyes of Chen Kangle! His heart was already filled with terror! These were the exact words he had just said! "Continue!" The arc of Lu Xiaobus mouth widened again: "Let me give you a good treatment, for your internet addiction!" He really liked the words of Chen Kangle about pain being internet addiction! After all, to describe the agony of electroshock as internet addiction, Chen Kangle was indeed the first person ever to do so! Chapter 225 - 224: Sending the Demon to Meet You [Third Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 225: Chapter 224: Sending the Demon to Meet You [Third Update, Please Subscribe]Li Jin twisted the button again! Zap! The electric current flashed again! "Ah!" Chen Kangles scream echoed once again throughout the entire yard. This time it lasted longer than before; his eyes had even rolled back! "Stop!" Lu Xiaobu called a stop again, then looked at Chen Kangle and asked again, "Do you have internet addiction?" "I dont!" Chen Kangle shouted weakly. "Continue." Zap! "Ah!" "Stop!" Lu Xiaobu: "Do you have internet addiction?" Chen Kangle, trembling all over from the electric shocks, heard this question again and went insane: "I dont..." But before he could finish saying he didnt, he saw Lu Xiaobu stretching out the Electrotherapy Device towards him again! So! "I do! I do! I have an internet addiction!" Chen Kangle, overwhelmed by fear, immediately confessed! He never thought in his life that he would face the same situation as those internet-addicted teenagers he had treated. Being coerced into confessing! It was one thing for those internet-addicted teenagers to be coerced into confessing; after all, they definitely had played games. But what about him!? He was truly someone who never played games! And now he was also labeled as someone with an internet addiction! One can only imagine the frustration in his heart! But it was his own fault! "Thats more like it!" Lu Xiaobu laughed. "So, can you let me go now?" Chen Kangle said tremblingly. Lu Xiaobu, just you wait, do you think you can cover the sky with one hand? "Let you go? Why?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed: "Now that you have internet addiction, of course, the treatment must continue!" "What!?" Chen Kangle exclaimed in horror: "No more, another shock could kill me!" "No! It wont! Your skin is so thick and your heart so dark, King Yama wouldnt take you." Lu Xiaobu casually shook his head: "Li Jin, continue!" "Yes! Young Master!" Li Jin twisted the button again! "Zap!" "Ah!" This time Chen Kangles scream was more heart-wrenching than ever before, tormented to the core! His mind was blank now, drool even dripped from the corners of his mouth, and his whole body kept twitching! Pain was his only sensation now! "Tell me, how did that child die?" Lu Xiaobu asked in a cold voice. Chen Kangle, with eyes rolling back and drooling, said: "Yes, imitating a game, jumped off a building..." "Continue!" "Zap!" Lu Xiaobu coldly said: "Last time, how did he die? Otherwise, Ill stop asking, and you can join him in death! I dont think you can handle much more!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Chen Kangle felt utterly chilled to the bone! He finally knew whom he had provoked! Lu Xiaobu was not an ordinary person; Lu Xiaobu was someone who truly dared to end lives! After all, Lu Xiaobu was never hesitant in striking! "Yes, it was after leaving my place, couldnt handle it anymore, jumped off the building!" Chen Kangle told the truth. Lu Xiaobu continued to inquire: "Wheres the evidence?" "Evidence!?" Chen Kangle felt somewhat frantic! Was evidence still needed!? Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He was already risking being sentenced by admitting to his indirect involvement in manslaughter! Have you ever seen a murderer provide evidence?! Of course, driven to madness, between death and sentencing, he chose sentencing! "In my office drawer, there is the suicide note of the deceased." Chen Kangle personally handed over his evidence! Zhang Meng, not needing to be prompted, went to Chen Kangles office and found the suicide note! Lu Xiaobu opened the suicide note. The suicide note wasnt long, just a few hundred words. The first third of it described how this child resolutely chose this path of no return to fight the demon! The last two-thirds were all about gratitude! Grateful to the mother who delivered him to hell with her own hands! Especially the part where he individually thanked his mother for carrying him for ten months, raising him to adulthood, and teaching him morals, it even moved him deeply! He couldnt imagine what kind of despair this child, who didnt complain about his parents to the very end and still knew how to be grateful, had experienced to choose that path?! It appeared that his methods were still not as cruel as Chen Kangles! "Kid, Im not much older than you, so let me call you little brother. Little brother, the demon you fought against is right before my eyes, and I will send him to meet you!" Lu Xiaobu closed the suicide note, looked up at the sky, and spoke calmly. "What do you want to do!?" Chen Kangle panicked, he was truly panicked! Could it be that Lu Xiaobu was actually going to deal him a deadly blow?! He didnt want to die, no! No way! He still had lots of money unspent! And lots of women he hadnt played enough with! He absolutely didnt want to die! "Zhang Meng, handle it." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng took Chen Kangle away. Chen Kangle struggled. But was struggling useful?! Chen Kangle, vanished! ... Lu Xiaobu returned the children to their parents, not explaining anything, saying nothing. Though if he had just released the suicide note, it would instantly dispel the internet backlash overwhelmingly against him, and he might even become a hero of justice. But, he disdained to do so! He could be ruthless towards Chen Kangle, but he could not stoop to Chen Kangles level of exploiting even a deceased child! Now that the chief culprit Chen Kangle had vanished, those online comments without their leader would also slowly fade. If those bastards dared to scold him again, he would just scold back! Anyway, now that he had fought against the demon for that child, he felt at ease! Liang Lan gently massaged Lu Xiaobus shoulders, her eyes filled with tenderness C Young Master was still that Young Master, always holding to his own principles, thats the best Young Master. Su Luoxue, being astute, roughly guessed Lu Xiaobus thoughts. Thus, her iceberg, always forcefully thawed by Lu Xiaobu... Melted for the first time, proactively melted. She glanced at Zhou Jingyuan and Wu Qianmin, who were busy online arguing with those people, trying to win justice for Lu Xiaobu, and took a deep breath. Liang Lan wasnt worried, she believed that Liang Lan wouldnt speak out. So, she walked over to Lu Xiaobus side, under Liang Lans amused gaze, and just kissed Lu Xiaobus cheek. Lu Xiaobu suddenly felt the somewhat familiar coolness of her lips, and was stunned. Then he turned around and saw Su Luoxue blushing, holding her head high, pretending like it wasnt her just now. "Wow, you! How dare you take advantage of your boss! Come here for a spanking!" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow and immediately spoke. "Oh?" This remark instantly caught the attention of Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan, who let out a teasing remark: "Looks like someones being naughty!" Su Luoxue was so angry she clenched her teeth. My goodness! You can guard against everything, but not against the traitor within! Others didnt speak out, but Lu Xiaobu, the benefit-taker, did! She was furious! Lu Xiaobu didnt dwell on this incident much, but was considering how to turn around the reputation of the League of Heroes. After all, though he could let it go when people insulted him, the reputation of LOL couldnt be ignored! And he had thought of a way! That was... Chapter 226 - 225 New Store Items [Fourth Release, Request for Subscription] Chapter 226: Chapter 225 New Store Items [Fourth Release, Request for Subscription]Continuing from where we left off, actually, Lu Xiaobus idea was very simple. That is! "System, come out, come up with a solution for me." Lu Xiaobu confidently handed over the tough question to the system. "Do you know how many people want to kill you!" The system said speechlessly. "Cut the crap, lets talk business." Lu Xiaobu pursed his lips and said. "Alright, Ive considered it before, to prevent you from bothering me all the time, so Ive prepared something good for you. Maybe it can solve your problem." The system said with a hint of mystery. "What is it? Stop beating around the bush." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Its in the store, its called Luck Aura, a wasteful amount of 100,000 per second, how about that? Isnt it awesome!" The system said proudly. "Awesome my ass." Lu Xiaobu isnt foolish: "100,000 per second? That means Id spend 60 million in ten minutues?! Thats enough for me to perform six full-power Dragon Capturing Hand strikes!" "Why dont you believe me? This thing is really useful." The system argued. "How useful? Can it make gold bars fall from the sky as soon as I turn it on?!" Lu Xiaobu scoffed. "Thats not possible." The system said, "Actually, so-called luck typically links to choices, like you always take Route A to school, 80% of the time, but today, due to some matters, you took Route B and ended up meeting a beauty!" "And this beauty, generally also takes Route C, in other words, if both of you hadnt chosen to take Route B at the same time, youd definitely not meet." "This is whats called luck, and Luck Aura simply increases this probability! It cannot create something out of nothing." Lu Xiaobu speechlessly said, "So, whats the point of explaining all this?" "Uhh..." The system paused, "Lets just let facts speak for themselves! Youll know once you try." Lu Xiaobu thought about it, that made sense. Lets just start with ten minutes! After all, 60 million is no big deal. He opened the store, found one of the only two itemsLuck Aura, and activated it. His wasteful amount immediately started rapidly decreasing at a rate of 100,000 per second! -100000 -100000 -100000 ... Honestly, when previously thought about, 60 million didnt seem like much, but now watching the numbers drop bit by bit, Lu Xiaobu really felt a bit of pain! And at this moment, the plane suddenly shook violently, as if it had encountered turbulence. Lu Xiaobu, sitting in his seat, didnt react, just his head swayed a bit and was held back by the seatbelt. "Oops!" But Liang Lan, who was standing behind him giving him a shoulder massage, suddenly yelped and then lunged forward. Lu Xiaobus head and Liang Lans head, as if intentionally, crossed in mid-air without touching. Then, as they bounced back, they aligned perfectly. Smack! Their lips met first. They kissed! As a man, Lu Xiaobus instinctual response kicked in. So, he immediately started invading Liang Lans little mouth. "Oops! Young Master!" Liang Lans entire body heated up, and she quickly stood up and ran backwards. Is today a day for seeing ghosts? How could they kiss?! And the Young Master, he even went further! "Hey!" Beside them, Zhou Jingyuan and Wu Qianmin were amused. Whats going on today? Everyones starting to take the initiative? One doesnt go without the other; can the little fiery character stand this? So, she stood up directly, unbuckled her seatbelt, and came to Lu Xiaobus side. She directly jumped into Lu Xiaobus arms! Well, throwing herself into his embrace, who cant do that! "Hehe." Lu Xiaobu, feeling the petite yet impressively framed Zhou Jingyuan, immediately chuckled, "Dragon Claw!" ok, totally succeeded! Sure enough, as always, one hand cant hold on! Now there is only Wu Qianmin left, sulking over there! "System, the Luck Aura cant just have this little functionality." Lu Xiaobu continued to ask. "Of course not, youll find out in a moment!" the system laughed. ... At this moment online, Lu Xiaobu is still being verbally attacked by everyone. However, soon, a piece of news exploded on the internet and gave those who insulted Lu Xiaobu and cyber sports a hard slap in the face! "The American President visits China discussing not only official matters but also expresses the wish to jointly hold a cyber sports league" "Heavenly Dynasty and America intend to jointly host a global cyber sports event" "The American President personally describes the popularity of LOL in America and wishes for Lu Xiaobu to start a server in America" "..." The American Presidents visit to China because of LOL was actually set when Lu Xiaobu was still in America. And today, due to the effect of Luck Aura, this matter exploded! Instantly. Those incessantly babbling people online, shut up! They are all staring in shock at this piece of news! They all feel their faces burning! They can hardly believe it! The American President visits China for a game! But this is solid evidence forcing them to believe! Now they look back at what they said. Each of them feels their face hurting! What?! You said cyber sports are a cancer? Meaning, the American President visited China for a cancer? And actively requested opening an LOL server in America?! What the hell kind of joke is that! This is basically saying, they were wrong, totally wrong! Gamers exploded in an uproar! The serfs have turned over, singing loud! "Young Master Bu is awesome! Freaking cool!" "Young Master Bu fan for life, no question!" "Those who were babbling, keep going! Keep babbling!" "You didnt see that your leader Chen Kangle has already shut up, and you still babble! Now feel dumb?" "Still doubting Young Master Bu? Is Young Master Bu someone you can doubt? A genuine glory for the country, you dont believe him, instead, you believe some charlatan!" ... However, there are still some stubborn ones! "Whats so great about America? Its just America! We in the Heavenly Dynasty havent recognized it!" "Exactly, the national conditions of the two countries are different, what works in America doesnt necessarily work in the Heavenly Dynasty!" "Right, right, right, we worry about our countrys matters, what does America have to do with it!" "..." Then! "The Tianchao Sports Bureau officially incorporates cyber sports as the 99th sports category" "The global league has been officially scheduled, with the first competition to be held in the Heavenly Dynasty" Slap! This was another heavy slap on the faces of those contrarians. Gamers are boiling! "What did someone just say? America can, but Heavenly Dynasty cant? Why arent you talking now?!" "Exactly, when has our Heavenly Dynasty ever been worse than others!?" "Young Master Bu single-handedly beats America with LOL, how could the country not support!" "Indeed, Young Master Bu is invincible!" Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Did you hear that? Cyber sports! This is not a cancer, this is sports! Its just like soccer, basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball, and so on, a type of sports! Sports!" "..." However, thats not all! There are still more sensational news being released! But no matter how sensational, none can surpass a sentence from Lu Xiaobu! This sentence made countless people cheer silentlyDamn thats satisfying! Chapter 227 - 226 Champion Tribute to Lu Xiaobu [5th Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 227: Chapter 226 Champion Tribute to Lu Xiaobu [5th Update, Please Subscribe]Heavenly Dynasty and America have jointly decided to host a global league, and this is no small news. Suddenly, the news spread all over the world. So! Heavenly Dynasty got lively. "Japan Players Request Lu Xiaobu to Set Up a Server in Japan" "Korea Players Request Lu Xiaobu to Set Up a Server in Korea" "Europe Players Request Lu Xiaobu to Set Up a Server in Europe" "Australia Players Request Lu Xiaobu to Set Up a Server in Australia" ... For a while, there were calls to set up servers everywhere. This is the global league were talking about! They dont want to miss out! Missing out means falling behind the times! These messages from all over the world shocked everyone in the Heavenly Dynasty! "No way! Is a game really that influential?! The whole world is shaking?!" "This is too absurd! Whats going on with the world? Everyones playing games now?!" "Can games really cause such a stir?! Arent games just for entertainment?" "..." In response to these clueless comments, gamers expressed their deep disdain! "What do you know? Your era is long gone!" "And please stop talking about games, once again, this is electronic sports, recognized as a competitive sport both nationally and internationally!" "And remember a name, Lu Xiaobu! Remember him! All gamers, remember him! You can forget his past achievements, you can forget his face, but you definitely must remember this name! Hes the one who brought us gamers from the Dark Age to the Golden Age!" "Those who truly want to go pro, make sure you win a championship for us in the first competition, on our soil, for our gamers, for Lu Xiaobu, otherwise you really are a failure!" "Yes, the championship! We want the championship! Must win the championship! Must!" "Must win the championship!" Countless gamers who had been suppressed for a long time roared out loud! They were no longer just shouting on the internet; they began to roar in real life too! Today they almost fell into the abyss, almost became villains, almost became cancers! The humiliation of that moment, the anger of that moment, now all turned into roars! "Must win the championship! For Lu Xiaobu!" "Our game, our turf, the championship must be ours! No discussion!" "Win the championship, win the championship, win the championship!" "..." Wu Cheng, whose phone had been smashed by his parents, also let out his roar: "I want to go pro! I want to win the championship! The championship is mine! Its ours!" His roaring voice echoed throughout the room. And this time, his parents didnt retort. Although they still couldnt understand these things, at least they knew that a game recognized by the nation, even internationally, couldnt possibly be a cancer! They bent down to pick up the pieces of the phone from the floor, thinking secretly to themselvescan this still be fixed?! They still felt guilty! "No, no need to fix it, let it be! Its more meaningful this way!" Wu Cheng shook his head, collecting the pieces: "When I win the championship, Ill ask Young Master Bu to fix it for me with the trophy! Thats my vow!" ... Liang Lan conveyed the received messages to Lu Xiaobu! "Young Master, its amazing, the situation has suddenly reversed! As if someone was pushing from behind!" Liang Lan looked at the unexpected reversal of the situation, utterly astounded. Lu Xiaobu curled his lipsof course, I spent sixty million! If there was no effect, I would have killed the system! System: "..." I want to mess you up! "Hahaha, these people from other countries, let them act all high and mighty usually, looking down on our Heavenly Dynasty, now they have to come over and beg us, hahaha, awesome!" Pepper laughed out loud with no semblance of a ladylike demeanor, her whole body shaking. Of course, none of the places that should shake were left out... cough cough cough! Su Luoxue was also clenching her small fists tightly, extremely excited! In the Golden Age of electronic sports, Lu Xiaobu really made it happen! So awesome! Lu Xiaobu, oh, no, long live the boss! Shes a secretary, she must know her place! sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Young Master, about them setting up servers..." Liang Lan asked. "Uh... Lets go, time for a press conference!" Lu Xiaobus eyes lit up, with a grand sweep of his hand! Liang Lan facepalmed, feeling helpless! Its over, Young Master Bu is going to stir up trouble again! With Young Master Bus habitual laziness, if hes taking the initiative to seek attention, it definitely means hes up to no good! ... The global press conference has begun! Many countries are trying their best to broadcast it, or theyd be content just to hear the voice feed! "Ahem, ahem, ahem, you all want to set up servers, am I right?" Lu Xiaobu said. "Yes, we want to play this game too!" Various international representatives at the venue nodded, looking expectantly at Lu Xiaobu. "Alright, no problem, the servers can be set up. Starting today, well gradually deploy servers in each country!" Lu Xiaobu announced magnanimously. "Thank you, thank you, thank you Lu Xiaobu, I thank you on behalf of the gamers of our nation!" "Thats right, thank you! We believe well create a great era of eSports together!" "The great people of Heavenly Dynasty, the great Lu Xiaobu, you have inherited the fine qualities of the Heavenly Dynasty!" "..." The international community was generous with their praise; after all, a few kind words cost them nothing! "Wait before you thank me." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, interrupting the shower of compliments. Liang Lan couldnt help but give a wry smile from the sidesee, Young Master Bu is going to cause trouble again! "We can open up servers, but as for translations, nah, the Eastern hemisphere will use unified Chinese, and the Western hemisphere unified English, yeah, thats it." Lu Xiaobu stated his decision! Actually, if LOL wasnt developed by him in America, with English as the default language, he wouldnt even offer English translations! Just read Chinese! Thats just fine! He still remembered how much he hated those games without Chinese translations when he was on Earth. I mean, youve developed the game, launched it in Heavenly Dynasty, and you dont provide Chinese translation? What the heck?! Deliberately annoying, right?! Even though hes not sure if its the same on the planet Water Blue Star, its probably similar! So! Today, Young Master Bu will give you all a taste of your own medicine! You want servers? Ill give them to you! You want translations? Not happening! You wanna play? Then go learn Chinese! Dont want to learn?! Cant learn?! Memorization will do! But if youre memorizing, consider how much youll have to remember on your own? Keep in mind that this is just the beginning of LOL, there are no translations, and there will be real-time updates! To put it simply, youll have to memorize, at minimum, every items attribute + every champions skill + every talents description + daily communication phrases, as well as insults! And, if he remembers correctly, the number one most difficult language to learn in the world isChinese! Heh heh heh, let them experience the despair! Next up, everybodys favorite - watching foreigners faces change! Chapter 228 - 227: Showing Off with a 28-Sided Object [Sixth Release, Please Subscribe] Chapter 228: Chapter 227: Showing Off with a 28-Sided Object [Sixth Release, Please Subscribe]Sure enough, just as Lu Xiaobu finished speaking. The foreigners present, apart from the Americans and others from English-speaking countries, all turned green in the face! What? No translation!? How can we play without translations!? Youre not letting us play; youre playing us! "Lu Xiaobu, this wont do! We cant play without a translation! Can we translate ourselves?" "Yeah, we can do the translation ourselves, what do you think?" "..." "No way, not giving it." Lu Xiaobu smirked. Ill frustrate you, what can you do about it?! "Pfft!" Seeing Lu Xiaobus blatantly bullying expression, the foreigners were furious! "Protest, protest! Strongly protest!" "We express our protest!" "..." "Which country are you from?" Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes: "Come, tell me." A Korean spins his eyes: "I am from Japan." A Japanese, upon hearing and seeing this, was so angry he wanted to take off his shoe and go at the Korean! "Fine, Korean server canceled, you think Im blind?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "Lu Xiaobu is awesome! I fully support your decision!" The Japanese immediately took a stance: "Cancel the Korean server." The Korean turned green! ... This side was still talking! Players from various countries exploded upon hearing this news! They all started petitioning Heavenly Dynasty! "We need translations! Chinese is too hard to learn!" "This is bullying!" "We havent even played a couple of rounds; we dont even know what the equipment is!" "..." However, in the face of these protests, the Heavenly Dynasty side did not show any concern. "This is a corporate matter; we dont interfere!" Lu Xiaobu did a great job! Not giving them translations, let them figure it out on their own, when they almost get it, the first global League of Heroes tournament is about to start! Also, its a good chance to promote the culture of the Heavenly Dynasty, killing two birds with one stone! ... Just like that, the foreigners started their painful yet joyful lives. Chinese became a mandatory course for them, with people in every country flocking to Chinese classes. Not for anything else, just to be able to understand the equipment when playing games, and to communicate with teammates! ... No matter how painful it is for the foreigners, Lu Xiaobu is comfortable! Liang Lan is almost too busy to stop because of LOL, running to various countries every day. And although Chickpea and Wu Qianmin would come by whenever they had a chance, they arent students of Emperor Electric and cant be here every day. So now by Lu Xiaobus side, only Su Luoxue diligently acts as his secretary! Well, if theres work, the secretary does it, if not... ahem, ahem! "Boss, Principal Li is looking for you." Su Luoxue held Lu Xiaobus phone, talking to Lu Xiaobu. "Okay, Ill head over after this round." Lu Xiaobu nodded and continued to drag his teammates down. With a series of combos from Lu Xiaobu, LOL exploded in popularity in the country, no, all over the world! Meanwhile, the eSports Club at Emperor Electric was also on fire, a change from the previous scene where Su Luoxue couldnt even recruit people; now, applications to join the club were flying all around! Therefore, the eSports Club launched their ultimate assessment! If you can lead Lu Xiaobu to win a match, you can join the eSports Club. Initially, when the students heard this, they were all incredibly happy; this assessment was easy! Lu Xiaobu was the creator of LOL, how could his skills be poor? But then! With tears, they realized a truth... The founder of LOL they admiredLu Xiaobu... Turned out to be such a drag! Literally, a godsend of dragging down! Various economic grabs, boldly grabbing yours, and you dare not complain, you can only choose to stealthily grow, and also face opponents as powerful as tigers! How to play this?! Lu Dad, please let the baby go! The baby just wants to join the eSports Club! Is it necessary to be so harsh? ... "Look, lost again, how many times already? Go back and practice, then come back for the assessment!" Lu Xiaobu told this batch of people being assessed. "Yes!" Four teammates undergoing the assessment wanted to cry but had no tears! Even Su Luoxue on the side couldnt bear to watch anymorepoor students. However, at the same time, she felt a bit of smugness in her heart. Humph, when I was begging you guys earlier, none of you joined. Now you want to come in, not so easy! ... Lu Xiaobu, accompanied by Su Luoxue, went to the principals office. As the door was pushed open, it was found that many people were waiting for him. "Xiaobu, you are here. Let me introduce you, these are the professors from various universities, this is from Emperor University, this is from Qinghua, this is from Jiaoda, this is from Zhejiang University..." Principal Li introduced them all, beaming with joy. He hadnt been able to sleep for several days, he felt that snatching Lu Xiaobu from Qinghua Emperor University was the most correct decision he had made in his life! Although because of Lu Xiaobus actions, he often felt terrified. But the benefits were immense! Look now, people from Qinghua Emperor are begging him again! "Oh wow, so many people? If you had said earlier, I would have come sooner." Lu Xiaobu casually said. As if he would actually come early! When the professors heard this, they also hurriedly said they didnt dare, "Not at all, not at all, youre busy with important matters, we should wait." Dont think their titles, one professor after another, were anything striking. But in front of Lu Xiaobu, they didnt dare to act superior! "Whats the matter?" Lu Xiaobu continued to ask. "Actually, I just want to confirm whether the university league you asked our school to prepare is about League of Heroes?" Principal Li emphasized the words our school and looked triumphantly at the other universities professors. Did you hear that? Our school, not yours! The professors were infuriatedknowing Lu Xiaobu is from your school, stop showing off, this is the one hundred twenty-eighth time! Especially the two professors from Qinghua Emperor, they were so annoyed they were itching! Why didnt they push harder to recruit Lu Xiaobu to their school back then? If that had been the case, they would be the ones boasting now! Damn, so frustrating!!! "Yeah, you didnt know?" Lu Xiaobu nodded in response. "Oh, Ive heard about it, but its still better to confirm, after all, you know, our school supports you unconditionally! We never question your decisions!" After receiving a confirming answer, Principal Li emphasized again! The professors rolled their eyes in frustration the one hundred twenty-ninth time! Cant you just get to the point? Stop boasting!? "Thats true." Lu Xiaobu nodded and affirmed. He believed that Principal Li definitely wasnt completely unaware or hadnt guessed which university league he was really organizing. Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But even so, a few days ago, when he was the target of everyone, Principal Li never said a word against it! Saying that they support unconditionally isnt an exaggeration! "Right, our school is the best! Actually, they came because they wanted to participate in this university league, just to see if there are any conditions or not." Principal Li repeated with emphasis again. The professorsits the one hundred thirtieth time! But thankfully, finally getting to the point! "The requirements, well, theres just one." Lu Xiaobus lips curled up in a smile. Su Luoxue felt a jump in her heartthe smile, that smile appeared again! Liang Lan had said, when Young Master shows that smile, you need to greatly increase your hearts endurance, or its very easy to crash! Because at this moment, the Young Master is the most terrifying! He, is about to start having fun! Remember this? Not afraid of a spendthrift squandering, but afraid of a spendthrift who knows how to play! Chapter 229 - 228: I Want 3000 Concubines【7th Update, Please Subscribe】 Chapter 229: Chapter 228: I Want 3000 Concubines7th Update, Please SubscribeAll the professors were waiting for Lu Xiaobu to state his conditions. "Nothing much, just that several universities should come together to organize a draft for me. Im planning to build a harem; not too many, just 3000 beauties will do." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and chuckled. "Uh..." The professors were all dumbfounded, looking at Principal Li, their eyes queryingwas he serious?! Are you an Emperor? You want these top universities to hold a draft for you?! Set up a harem for you?! And just 3000 beauties will do?! What are you trying to do?! Also, come on, tell me, how did you manage to say "just do"?! What do you think the singles will feel?! Are you trying to make them go hand-in-hand and jump off a building? Even Su Luoxue twitched at the corner of her mouth. Although she was mentally prepared, she still got critically hit! My goodness! You get to pick from 3000 beauties, Young Master? Arent the beauties by your side enough? We few... ugh, not including me, arent they all top beauties one by one! Mature ladies, lolitas, schoolgirls, arent they enough? beauties?! Even if you went through one a day, it would take you ten years! "So, Xiaobu, what are you trying to do?" Principal Li said with some trepidation: "Look, we are all serious universities! Prestigious universities, we dont engage in that sort of thing." Lu Xiaobu is great in every way, but when hes crazy, hes unbearable. Imagine if this conversation got out, wouldnt everyone be pointing to their backbones and cursing?! "What are you thinking? Im talking about organizing a huge cosplay." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "Phew!" Everyone sighed in relief: "So its cosplay! I thought it was something else! Lu Xiaobu, you really can joke!" Cosplay then cosplay, cant you say it without scaring people to death?! Theres the draft, the harem, then the 3000 beauties! Making us proud university professors look like palace maids and eunuchs serving you! Tsk, what a comparison! "However, I want to cosplay as the Emperor, so its still a draft, yep, the women will be my harem, and the men will be guards!" Lu Xiaobu laughed excitedly. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Just think about that scene; isnt it thrilling? Tell me, which man doesnt dream of being an Emperor? Even many girls must have that dream too! Similarly, Lu Xiaobu does as well. But while you cant make it happen, Lu Xiaobu can take this opportunity to indulge a little! Are you envious or what?! "Uh..." The professors were speechless! How did they feel so awkward about this? Going round and round, it really is a draft. But after thinking it over, the professors still agreed. After all, at the end of the day, its just a cosplay, no big deal. Of course, they put forth a few conditions. "But we will only assist in distributing the notice, whether they are willing or not, we cant guarantee." "Indeed, and we know you wouldnt do that, but I still want to say, please do not force anyone." "And there must also be safety assurances." "..." Lu Xiaobu readily agreed to everything; any problem that could be solved with money wasnt a problem. ... Initially, the professors thought that not many people would come! However, After the universities issued the notices... The enthusiasm of the students vastly exceeded their expectations. They had never imagined that Lu Xiaobus prestige among young people could be so high! The number of people from each university willing to participate was over 60%! What a staggering ratio that is!? As for the males, theyre not mentioned since even if theyre willing, it depends on whether Lu Xiaobu is willing. But the females, they actually took the initiative to send their photos to Lu Xiaobu, even revealing their bust, waist, and hip measurements as well as their height and weight! My god, arent these your lifetime secrets?! And you just revealed them? ... So! The draft, pfft, the cosplay selection began. Lu Xiaobu sat in front of the computer, holding a cup of tea. Zhang Meng, Li Jinyi to the left and right! Four women stood behind Lu Xiaobu. Liang Lan gently massaged his shoulders. Su Luoxue rolled her eyes while fanning. Hot Pepper was gritting her teeth as she fed Lu Xiaobu grapes. Wu Qianmin pouted by the side, ready to operate the computer. At first glance, if Lu Xiaobu donned a Dragon Cannon, he would truly resemble an Emperor. Lu Xiaobu enjoyed the appropriate strength of Sister Lans shoulder massage, the refreshing breeze from Su Luoxue, and the grapes fed by Hot Pepper, and let out a comfortable hum! Theres no greater enjoyment in life than this! Principal Li stood to one side with twitching corners of his mouth. What was this situation? If Lu Xiaobu was like an Emperor, then what was he? The Chief Eunuch standing beside the Emperor?! How irritating! But, he couldnt leave; he had to take notes and communicate with the other schools! "The selection begins." Lu Xiaobu announced seriously. Wu Qianmin pouted as she clicked to open the submissions from various schools for Lu Xiaobu. "Hmm, not bad, eighty-three points, taken." Lu Xiaobu nodded with satisfaction after looking at the photo. "Alrighty!" Principal Li took out a pen and paper to jot it down. Damn it, now he felt even more like the Chief Eunuch, now only lacking the feather duster! "Next." Lu Xiaobu drank some tea and ate the grapes peeled by Hot Pepper. Wu Qianmin opened the next submission. "Hmm?" Lu Xiaobu frowned, "Seventy-five points, not great." Then he scanned further down the submission. Measurements: B83/W61/H89 "Okay, taken," Lu Xiaobu immediately broke into a grin, "Not bad, not bad! After all, you can add ten more points after turning off the lights!" All four women felt an urge to strangle Lu Xiaobu. Could you be more obvious?! And turning off the lights!? What are you planning to do!? When Principal Li heard this, he couldnt help but take a stealthy peek. He swore, he had no other thoughts; it was just a natural reaction! Then! "Oh!?" Lu Xiaobu and his company uttered a meaningful sound! "Cough cough cough!" Principal Lis old face blushed! Damn, how could he not restrain himself? If outsiders saw this, his good reputation would be ruined! ... "Next!" Lu Xiaobu spit out a mouthful of tea, "Pfft, Chief, this is a girls profile, why did you put a big man in here?" "What big man?!" Principal Li said subconsciously, then suddenly panicked: "Xiaobu, who are you calling Chief?!" What is this? Youre really treating me as the Chief Eunuch now?! Not cool! "Cough cough cough, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue," Lu Xiaobu quickly waved his hands, "Now, answer my question first." "Let me see, huh?" Principal Li took a glance at the photo and was similarly stunned. Then he carefully checked the gender and major and understood. "Take a closer look, shes from a sports academy, specializing in weightlifting!" Principal Li didnt know whether to laugh or cry! "Fine, Chief, well take her too, have her be an Imperial Guard!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Fine then! Wait, how did I become the Chief again?!" Principal Li felt like cursing! ... "Next!" "Hisss, 90 points, but a bit lacking on top, no worries, considering comprehensively 85 points! Taken!" ... "Next!" "This one wont do, only sixty points, wait, what? Numerous awards in the music major, good, taken, have her be a Court Musician!" ... Principal Li watched Lu Xiaobu enjoying himself while giving orders, and couldnt help but reveal an envious look. Even he had dreamt of being an Emperor! In the end, he didnt become the Emperor, but he couldnt escape the title of Chief Eunuch! What was this all about! Chapter 230 - 229 The Emperor Arrives [8th Update, Subscription Requested] Chapter 230: Chapter 229 The Emperor Arrives [8th Update, Subscription Requested]Drafting players, preparing costumes, training, organizing, and more, it all took less than a month. Finally, right before the college league, everything was sorted out. This league, being the first official global competition, was under the spotlight worldwide, causing waves of tourists entering Heavenly Dynasty every day. Due to this, the nation gave great importance, providing significant help on security, venues, and much more! The time has reached November, and the weather is gradually cooling down. However, the chill couldnt dampen peoples enthusiasm. Everywhere in the Imperial, different international visitors were seen exploring. Especially near the Imperial Workers Stadium where the league was being held, it was even more crowded with foreigners. The team responsible for cosplaying characters from League of Heroes wasnt afraid of the cold and moved around interacting with everyone. There are less than two hours left until the competition officially begins! Crowds began to steadily flow towards the vicinity of the Workers Stadium! ... Two Japanese men were approaching from a distance, their eyes filled with disdain. Both were leftists, showing strong hostility towards other countries, especially the Heavenly Dynasty. "Mr. Kojima, this Heavenly Dynasty is indeed far behind our country!" Tojo Jiro said to the other Japanese man. "Yes, look at these streets, they might look clean, but the presence of trash bins truly shows they are far behind Japan." Heiji Kojima also fully displayed his disdain: "Our Japan is better, our streets dont even need trash bins, our citizens take their trash home to dispose of." "And look at that trash bin, eww, its really filthy inside!" Tojo Jiro glanced at the trash bin and disdainfully said, "Our trash in Japan is always washed clean." "Thats because you are sick! Trash is cleaned, but you have turned to eating shit! What gloriously dubbed Gold Meals, your brains have holes!" Beside, a cosplaying college studentLin Ling, glared harshly at the two Japanese men and rebuked, "Shut up on our land, dont think nobody understands your language." Upon hearing the scolding, both Japanese mens faces turned alternately pale and flushed! Their claim about Japanese cleanliness was true, but so was the claim about the bizarre behaviors seen by others as twisted. No rebuttal! Thus, the two avoided the topic and stopped discussing it. However, as they walked, they couldnt hold back again. "Mr. Kojima, look, their cosplay might look perfect in costume and props, but they lack the essence, indeed, the Second Dimension culture is weak in the Heavenly Dynasty." This time, Tojo Jiro targeted cosplay as a topic. And purposely started this topic in front of Lin Ling. "Yes, they lack a soul, the soul of the real characters!" Heiji Kojima agreed loudly, proudly glancing at Lin Ling. We say you Heavenly Dynasty people dont care about the environment, you say we eat shit, its a tie! But we criticise your cosplay, and you cant rebuke! Lin Ling, hearing their words, stomped her feet in anger. But indeed, she could not argue; Japans unique contribution to Second Dimension culture is recognized worldwide. Seeing that Lin Ling couldnt respond, the two Japanese men became even more proud. "See, see, dont just think that this game was founded by Lu Xiaobu, if it comes to cosplaying these heroes, it should be us Japanese! Look at that Ashe, expressionless, is that Ashe? No, thats a block of ice! Do you know the backstory of Ashe? Ashe is a queen, you should display an elevated, haughty coldness, not iciness!" Heiji Kojima unscrupulously commented. "Exactly, and that Wandering MageRui Zi, doesnt have the scholars demeanor at all, completely a hoodlum!" Tojo Jiro also followed up, pointing and commenting. Lin Ling and some other college students who understood Japanese were trembling with anger! This was too much! However, they couldnt think of a way to retort! Although they were furious and wanted to curse, they held back, striving to portray their cosplay characters at their best! This is a confrontation between two civilizations, and once coarse language and violence are used, its a total defeat! At this moment, less than an hour remains until the official opening! And then! "The Emperor has arrived!" A deafening shout instantly spread throughout the entire stadium. This was a shout that didnt involve any electronic devices, purely bellowed out by thousands of people! Dominance! Majesty! Captivating! Following that, a piece of awe-inspiring music played! It was pure instrumental music, performed entirely with classical instruments from the Heavenly Dynasty! Dominant yet gentle, wild yet profound! This music represents the philosophy of the people of the Heavenly Dynasty. S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When friends come, we have fine wine! When wolves come, we have rifles! Slowly! A massive procession approached from the street. Leading the way were rows of generals on tall, majestic horses, their armor shining brightly. Following them were countless foot soldiers in armor running along! The orderly marching sound, like trampling on peoples hearts, made everyone instinctively clear the way for this troop! Because they were afraid of being killed! Further behind! There were rows of beautiful palace maids holding screens, lanterns, or flower baskets, truly a sight too beautiful for words, capturing peoples hearts. Both people from the Heavenly Dynasty and foreigners were drooling over them! The main event finally arrived. The first thing that caught the eye was six snow-white majestic horses, so handsome they didnt seem real, not a single stray hair on them! Each of these horses was worth as much as a BMW! They were pulling a golden carriage. This was the Dragon Chariot! On both sides of the Dragon Chariot, Zhang Meng and Li Jin played the roles of Imperial Guards! And seated on the carriage was the Emperor of this eventLu Xiaobu! In the context of this gathering of thousands, Lu Xiaobu appeared supremely regal. A captivating dominance radiated from him as the center, reaching out to everyone around! All the foreigners were stunned! "My God! What kind of cosplay is this? Its so dominant!" "Is this an ancient Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty? So badass! Really too cool!" "These outfits are way cooler than those so-called heroes cosplay, I need to take a photo to remember this, so handsome!" "..." Lin Ling watched this scene, clenching her fists in excitement, and she fiercely glared at the two Japanese beside her: "Our Second Dimension culture from the Heavenly Dynasty isnt up to par?! What about our five thousand years of culture, huh?!" "Hmph!" The two Japanese were speechless, they had lost! But they wouldnt admit it! However! In just the next second, the two almost wet their pants! Chapter 231 - 230: Dominant Entrance [9th Update, Request for Subscription] Chapter 231: Chapter 230: Dominant Entrance [9th Update, Request for Subscription]"Click!" Lu Xiaobus team stopped at the entrance of the Workers Stadium. Zhang Meng placed the stairs beneath the carriage. Dressed in Dragon Cannons, Lu Xiaobu stepped down from the carriage and walked towards the entrance of the Workers Stadium with a stately gait. The beautiful Palace Maids in front of him immediately scattered to the sides, unleashing a uniform cry! "Greetings, Your Majesty!" This cry instantly turned everyones bones to mush! So satisfying! Surrounded by so many beauties and hearing such a salutation, would you not be thrilled? Meanwhile, the Palace Maids, while chanting softly in mid-air, carried out their rehearsed moves! Those with screens lifted the screens! Those with lanterns performed deep respectful bow! Those carrying flower baskets scattered petals into the sky! The entire set of movements was graceful yet beautiful, classical yet impressive! Lu Xiaobu continued towards the Workers Stadium entrance amidst the shower of petals! People around were astounded! "My goodness, too dashing!" "Explosively handsome, isnt he? I want to bear his children!" "Passing through a sea of flowers, unblemished by a single leaf, this is the pinnacle of manhood!" "I mean, forget everything else, this alone is worth it!" "All beauties! That voice, my bones are melting!" "Wow, Im so envious and jealous!" "..." This was enough to make them envious, but what followed made their eyes turn red with envy! At this moment! Lu Xiaobu moved past the formation of Palace Maids and entered the formation of soldiers! "Clack!" The Generals in the front immediately dismounted, their movements neat and synchronized! "Clack!" All the soldiers stepped one step to the left and right. Their movements were so synchronized that they made only one sound! "Boom!" The soldiers weapons struck the ground, emitting a clang of metal on metal! "Clack!" As the armor rattled, soldiers on both sides knelt on one knee! "Greetings, Your Majesty!" This cry, unlike the soft, bone-melting voices of the maids, was filled with a manly robustness! Accompanied by the clashing sounds of armor, an air of chilling severity brazenly entered everyones hearts! And amidst the kneeling soldiers and their chilling cries, Lu Xiaobu continued to advance! "Huff! Huff! Huff!" The surrounding mens eyes reddened! Breathing heavily, they wished they could take his place! If the previous passage through a sea of flowers symbolized desire, Then now was the ambition of man! Holding supreme military power, controlling life and deathWho wouldnt want to live this way? Even though they knew this was all a fa?ade, their eyes still glowed with envy! "So domineering, such scenes only appear in my dreams!" "Lu Xiaobu really knows how to live; honestly, I now really want to be one of his soldiers, even if it means dying on the battlefield!" "Listen to the sound of that armor, the weapons, those commanding shouts; I cant handle it, Im so pumped up!" "Doesnt it make your blood boil?" "It truly makes my heart rumble with excitement!" "Wherever he goes, thousands submit!" "..." Lu Xiaobu walked through the formation of soldiers, under the crazed envious gaze of the crowd, To the forefront position! And right in front of him was the team of heroes cosplaying at the entrance of the Workers Stadium! "Greetings, Your Majesty!" Led by Lin Ling, the team of cosplayers also knelt on one knee in salute! S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This had been rehearsed too! As they knelt, the path from Lu Xiaobu to the entrance of the Workers Stadium was clear and unobstructed! Oh, no, its not free of obstacles! Its because there are still some people who havent knelt down! Those were the two little Japanese who had been causing trouble and were later intimidated by Lu Xiaobus team, and did not move! These two little Japanese were completely stunned at the moment! They stood in place, utterly clueless about what to do! Neither hiding nor facing was an option! Neither kneeling nor standing felt right! "Not kneeling before the Emperor, what should be the punishment!?" Zhang Meng immediately stood up from the left, his tiger-like eyes glaring fiercely! Li Jin rose from the right, charging up his True Qi, and roared: "They should be killed!" Hearing Li Jins roar. The soldiers and generals behind them instantly rose, bellowed towards the sky: "Kill!" Instantly, an ear-splitting cry of kill echoed throughout the stadium! The deadly aura of Zhang Meng and Li Jin combined with the roar of the soldiers, transforming into a fierce tiger, fiercely charging towards those two little Japanese! This kind of fierce roaring was not something two little Japanese could resist! So, instantly! The bodies of those two Japanese, who previously looked down on the Heavenly Dynasty, were no longer under their control! Their faces went pale, color draining, with cold sweat profusely dripping! Their legs began to tremble violently! Even between their legs, an odd smell started to emerge. Eventually, their legs gave out, and both fell collapsed on the ground! "Hmph!" Lu Xiaobu snorted disdainfully, stepping over the two men! His soldiers followed closely behind! Click! Click! Click! Rows of people stepped over the two little Japanese, no one pausing, and similarly, no one stepped on them! These two little Japanese, watching rows of feet flying over their faces, were already scared out of their wits, their eyes rolling back as they fainted! People nearby were panting heavily! "Oh my god, that scared me to death!" "That cry of kill was so shocking, it really gave me the feeling of being in a bloody battlefield!" "Huff, huff, help me, my legs are weak!" "Cosplay? Is this really cosplay? The cost was too high, but the effect was indeed amazing!" "Respect, truly respect!" Countless foreigners, clicking pictures, all in awe! "Amazing people from the Heavenly Dynasty!" "Just a shout and they knocked two people unconscious, too powerful!" "I know, this is the power of Qi!" A person from America who had watched Henry Says, exclaimed with sparkling eyes! "Yes, yes, this is the power of Qi!" Other Americans who had seen it also shouted out! Hearing this, the nearby people from the Heavenly Dynasty immediately rolled their eyes! Many of them have already encountered ridiculous requests from Americans to display feats! They think these group of Americans are all nuts! However, what they dont know is, this time the Americans were actually rightthis indeed was the power of Qi! As for those two little Japanese, nobody cared! They were the ones who blocked Lu Xiaobus path, almost ruining their performance. If it were ordinary people, they would probably have been beaten up! But Lu Xiaobu didnt hit them, nor scold them, instead making them faint under pressurewho could be blamed?! This spectacular cosplay thoroughly brought everyones emotions to a climax! Everyone went crazy, their blood boiling with excitement! They were looking forward to the upcoming match, hoping the fight in Summoners Rift would soothe their fiery spirits! This global first official LOL competition hosted by Lu Xiaobu started with a huge success! Even later, it became an unmatched standard in any esports competition! It was studied, researched, and imitated by countless planners! Yet all this was simply because Lu Xiaobu wanted to have a taste of being an Emperor! Chapter 232 - 231: Bastard Host and Bastard System [10th Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 232: Chapter 231: Bastard Host and Bastard System [10th Update, Please Subscribe]While a match was taking place at the Workers Stadium... Shocking news also broke in the outside world. That is, Lu Xiaobu has graduated from the Newcomer Rich List! Finally, he has officially joined the Third Level Rich List! The official name of the Third Level Rich List is actually called The Hufeng Rich List. But everyone habitually calls it the Third Level Rich List. Because it only lists the billionaires with wealth under 10 billion! Above it, theres the Second Level Rich List that counts wealth from 10 billion to 100 billion, and the First Level Rich List that counts wealth above 100 billion! Unlike the Newcomer Rich List where making a few billion is seen as remarkable and is meant to promote newcomers. Making it into the Third Level Rich List means youve truly entered the ranks of the rich. So when this news came out, it immediately blew everyone away. "My God, has Lu Xiaobu been promoted again?" "The Third Level Rich List, huh! Is he the youngest Rich List tycoon in history?" "Thats insanely cool!" "But, logically speaking, shouldnt Lu Xiaobu have made it in there earlier? Why only now?" "Isnt it because of that League of Heroes mess? Now that Lu Xiaobu has succeeded, its great, but if he hadnt, it would have been a bottomless pit. Forget about the Third Level Rich List, he might have even been knocked off the Newcomer List!" "Thats true, I heard that Lu Xiaobu spent 1.5 billion in America just buying companies!" "Right, think about it, his game is free-to-play and he makes money solely from skins. Plus, with the previous harsh environment in Heavenly Dynasty, a failure would mean disaster! Thats probably why the Third Level Rich List didnt include him before!" "But, Lu Xiaobu succeeded against all odds, with his own power, he drastically changed the entire situation. Now if they dont let him in, it would be complete nonsense!" "By the way, dont just talk about that, what rank is Xiaobu?" "Hold on, let me check... Hiss!" "Whats up? Why are you hissing?" "Lu Xiaobu ranks twenty-ninth! Hes entered the top thirty directly!" "Holy moly! For real?! Straight into the top thirty? I remember that those in the top thirty have assets around 70 billion, right? Does Lu Xiaobu actually have a net worth close to 70 billion?!" "I dont know!" "..." People on the Newcomer Rich List looked at the new rankings with mixed emotions. They still remembered that less than a year ago, Lu Xiaobu was notorious as a squandering rich kid! Then, this squanderer went on a tear and in a very short time, shot up to number one on the Newcomer Rich List! At first, they thought Lu Xiaobu was just lucky, feeling that one day they would overtake him! But now! While they were still smug about making tens or hundreds of millions! This so-called squanderer had now become one of the people on the Third Level Rich List! And not just anywhere, but in the top thirty! sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With assets amounting to 70 billion! Is Lu Xiaobu really a wastrel or the God of Wealth?! Or rather, is Lu Xiaobu the wastrel, or are they the wastrels?! Comparing oneself to others will only make you want to die, truly! ... Everyone was shocked that Lu Xiaobu had a net worth of 70 billion! Only Liang Lan saw the news, closed her laptop, and smiled without a word. billion, the numbers were quite accurate. These ignorant people will never know! Despite the Young Master squandering every day, hes actually making money every day! First of all, theres the Cola Company. Its profits might not be huge, but its sales volume is! Then theres Juechen smartphones. Though installment plans do cause some losses upfront, once theyre overcome, customer loyalty is extremely solid! Apart from the phones, things like headphones, chargers, phone cases, and so on, all these peripherals are money-making products! Moreover, the Young Masters Super God phone upgrade promotion was a huge success, making Juechen a familiar name for countless players of LOL! Thus, Juechen saw a big increase in sales! As for the rest, like Juechen Live Platform, Creation Book City, IT companies, and so on. The money made from those are just pocket change, she doesnt even bother to tally them up! After all, those earnings are nothing compared to the Young Masters allowances! So even though LOL isnt making money right now and is still spending money. A net worth of 70 billion is absolutely not an issue! And all these, all are industries that the Young Master squandered his way into! Can you believe it? Arent you shocked? Scared you, didnt I! ... Lu Xiaobu, who was watching the match, still had no idea hed made it onto the Third Level Rich List. Even if he knew, he wouldnt care! The match was a huge success, with the live audience completely fired up. Yet Lu Xiaobu, the founder of LOL and organizer of the match, was utterly uninterested. Just a bunch of noobs pecking at each other! Having witnessed countless matches on Earth, his own skill might not be anything special, but his standards were pretty high. He could chime in a few words about global meta, lane-swapping, 4-1 split pushing, poke comps, and so on. In other words, he was what youd call a keyboard warrior! So, watching these newbies who were just getting the hang of the game and still stuck in low-level combat, he really wasnt very captivated. "System, Im bored, lets do a draw." Lu Xiaobu spoke to the system in utter boredom. It cost him over two billion to indulge in his Emperor fantasies! With all sorts of expenses added together. So now, he had a frivolous spending total of over three billion. Saving one billion for the Dragon Capturing Hand, one billion for Luck Aura, so that left another billion to squander. "What do you want?" The system was a bit bored too. "I dont really want anything." Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment before saying, "How about we do a proper lottery draw?" "Uh... sure!" the system paused to think and said, "We never really did a proper lottery draw, did we?" Its laughable. The lottery draw function was supposed to be standard, but it was turned into a damned host-system, sham of a P2P transaction by these two idiots! From the beginning until now, theyve hardly ever drawn lots properly! No, more like infuriatingly infrequent! So much so that a regular lottery draw had become a rare occurrence! "Come on, lets do this, lets have a go!" Lu Xiaobu immediately rubbed his hands together: "Are you betting on big or small?" "What counts as big and whats small?" The system got interested too. "Simple, Ill draw using fifty million, and you cant interfere. If its a physical item, thats big; if its not physical, then its small. How about it?" Lu Xiaobu set the rules! "Okay! Ill bet on big! One million!" The system thought it over and said. "Alright, then Ill bet on small, also one million!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. Both these damn host and damn system were getting hyped up! Who knows if the lottery function, if it had a consciousness, would feel like strangling them both! Dark horse lottery draws every day were bad enough, but to actually make a proper draw into a betting game!? Is there any other host and system like you in this world? The draw began, and the wheel that only appeared when Lu Xiaobu first encountered the system for the first time showed up again! "Here we go!" Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands together, starting the draw. "Big, big, big!" The system was chanting like a gambler! "Small, small, small!" Lu Xiaobu wouldnt be outdone, punching the air as he shouted. The roulette wheel spun at high speed! Gradually, the wheel began to slow... Slower and slower... Slower still... Lu Xiaobu and the system grew more and more excited! "Big, big, big!" "Small, small, small!" "..." Finally! It stopped! The lottery prize was revealed! Chapter 233 - 232 News from Mother [First Update, Ask for Subscription] Chapter 233: Chapter 232 News from Mother [First Update, Ask for Subscription]The wheel stopped. The item drawn God-level dog food. "Hahaha, its tangible, its big, I won!" The system laughed loudly: "How about that? Are you convinced now, Host?!" "Are you sure you didnt cheat?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "If I cheated, may lightning strike me from the sky!" The system declared solemnly. Then! "Crack!" Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky, a bolt from the blue, gone in a flash! "Uh..." The system fell silent. "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu fell silent. Three seconds later. Lu Xiaobu: "What were you going to say?" "I damn well dont want to say anything! Who the hell came near here to get struck by lightning?! Cant it not be so coincidental?!" The system, wanting to cry without tears, thought this was utterly absurd! Just after swearing, lightning comes? He genuinely didnt cheat, the bet was just for fun, after all it was only a million. "Alright, alright, take it!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "I cant be bothered to care whether its real or not!" He really didnt care! However! His indifferent words somehow provoked the system. "No, I really didnt cheat!" The system felt that Lu Xiaobu was convinced he had cheated, that he was just brushing him off, and it hurt its little pride! It often happens in life, one side doesnt care, but the other side always feels that they are being brushed off, always needing to prove a point, to make things clear! "I didnt say you cheated! Really!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Ill say it again, if I cheated, may lightning strike me from the sky!" The system was frantic! "Crack!" Lightning struck again! System: "..." He wanted to kill someone! Whoever it was, he wanted to kill someone! Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "See, I told you so. You didnt believe what I said, insisting on swearing, now look what happened! Youve played yourself! Mud smeared on the trousersits crap whether you like it or not!" "Host, wait a second, I think I know why!" The system said through gritted teeth: "If Im not mistaken, it must be that dumbass system I messed with last time, coming after me, Im going to kill him!" The system went silent after speaking. It must have gone to fight with other systems again! "Ah, a system that even cares so much about face, really." Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said speechlessly. He didnt know how systems interacted, nor did he care about their relations. He took out the God-level dog food he had just won. "It doesnt seem anything special! Just a fist-sized piece, and it cost me fifty million!" Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Since the system went to fight, there was no one to explain it to him. So, he couldnt be bothered to ask in detail. After all, dog food is for dogs, right! "Dumbass, here!" Lu Xiaobu tossed the dog food to Dumbass, who usually lazed around but now was jumping up and down in excitement. "Ah woo!" Dumbass swallowed the dog food in one gulp. "Alright, lets see what changes you undergo! Evolve, Dumbass!" Lu Xiaobu watched Dumbass excitedly. This was stuff worth fifty million! You know, even low-quality Immortal Beans which cost only a few million, can heal the body! This fifty million dog food must be world-shattering! Then! After eating the God-level dog food, Dumbass... Stretched lazily and lay down on the ground to sleep! What!? Lu Xiaobu was so angry he wanted to curse! Mom sold me out, my fifty million just like that went to you!? "Dumbass!" Lu Xiaobu shouted. Dumbass lifted his eyelids and fell back asleep! "Hey, kid, youre asking for a beating, arent you!" Lu Xiaobu was so angry! Whats up with that? Before eating the dog food, you would respond when I called you! After eating my fifty million worth of dog food, not only is there no change, you even start giving me attitude? Yet, before Lu Xiaobu could make a move, Dumbass bounced and jumped into Su Luoxues arms. Then it provokingly glanced at Lu Xiaobu, as if to say dare to hit me! Then, it made an extremely pitiful face as if to cajole, acting like Lu Xiaobu was about to do something terrible to it! Lu Xiaobu was so annoyed he laughed, took off his shoe, and prepared to hit it: "Secretary, give me the Dumbass!" "Boss, dont pick on Dumbass." Su Luoxue immediately hugged Dumbass and spoke. This Dumbasss cajoling skills are unmatched, and it had already captured Su Luoxues heart! "Am I bullying him, or is he bullying me?" Lu Xiaobu was speechless. However, this dog food seems to really have something to it. Dumbass has become naughtier and even understands human speech better! Although Dumbass was smart before, it is still a dog, and many things needed specific words before it understood. But just now, the moment the word "itchy" came out, Dumbass knew to dodge! This was no small feat. Lu Xiaobu looked into Dumbasss eyes and confirmed one thing this guy is definitely faking it! He definitely gained something but is unwilling to show it! While Lu Xiaobu was contemplating whether to toss Dumbass into a pot of oil to fry it as a test, Su Luoxue handed over his cellphone: "Boss, its Lin Fengs call." Liang Lan told her that for other peoples calls, just answer and relay the message to Lu Xiaobu. But Lin Fengs calls must be handled by Lu Xiaobu personally! "Hello, whats up?" Lu Xiaobu, upset by Dumbass, wasnt in a good mood. "Nothing much, heard you became a third-tier rich man, just calling to celebrate." Lin Feng didnt take offense and said cheerfully. Hearing Lin Fengs words, Lu Xiaobu froze, glanced at Su Luoxue. Su Luoxue immediately nodded, affirming the truth of the matter! "Oh, you can send over the red envelope, no need to come in person," Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Uh..." Lin Feng fell silent. Red envelope?! Red envelope?! Who can tell me! How did their conversation lead to red envelopes? How come the conversation immediately turned to him sending red envelopes!? "Never mind, I dont want to dwell on that," Lin Feng said frustratedly: "Come out! Im throwing a party, lets have fun, now you have the status to officially enter this circle!" "Im not going." Lu Xiaobu refused on the spot. Circles like that, he hated the most! Just a bunch of guys sitting together, either showing off or showing off! "If you come, Ill tell you about your mother." Lin Feng was well-prepared and spoke these words before Lu Xiaobu could hang up. Lu Xiaobu fell silent: "..." About his mother?! He meant the mother of this body, right? To be honest, he didnt feel much for this so-called mother! Since arriving in this world, hed always had love from Lus father, Lu Hongbin, Lu Wenhao, and not much to do with that mother. But even so, he decided to go have a look. "Give me the address, Im coming now." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Great, Ive sent the address, Ill wait for you!" Lin Feng smiled bright, scoring a small victory before even starting, isnt it! This party is just a facade, the true battle is whats real! Hed been preparing for a long time, just to win over Lu Xiaobu for once! Chapter 234 - 233: Who is the Trash? [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 234: Chapter 233: Who is the Trash? [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]Imperial! Yang Liufeng Club! A very elegant, comfortable name. Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, this club isnt accessible to just anyone! From those who have the privilege to enter, you can tell by their bending posture. How powerful the backing of this club must be! And even more interestingly, once you have acquired a membership for this club, all your expenses inside are free! But! This club will never lose money! Because, nobody dares! No one dares! All customers forcibly stuff more than double the RMB amount to the reception! And the reason for all this. Is because the owner of this club is calledLin Feng! Imperials Four Young Masters Lin Feng! Just the name is enough! ... At this moment, Lin Feng is sitting at the entrance, like a passerby, somewhat bored playing with his cellphone. He is waiting for Lu Xiaobu. The members who recognize him dont dare to approach him and greet, they only bow from a distance to show their respect! The members are whispering among themselves. "Whats up with Young Master Lin?" "Indeed! To actually be by the door, the temperature today isnt low at all!" "Hope Young Master Lin wont get a heatstroke!" "Could it be that Young Master Lin is waiting for someone?" "Nonsense! The other sons of Imperials Four Young Masters arrive, and Young Master Lin has never waited for them! Who has that privilege?" "Thats true!" "Maybe, Young Master Lin is out to enjoy the scenery?!" "..." Lin Feng cannot hear these discussions, and even if he could, he wouldnt care! He is the most arrogant among the Four Young Masters of Imperial, thus anyone he disdains, definitely doesnt have the privilege to make him wait! Let alone discuss these insignificant peoples discussions! And then! A Lamborghini stopped at the entrance. A nouveau riche with a face full of flesh stepped out of the car! As soon as he alighted, someone instantly laid a red carpet under his feet. Two beauties, probably rated 91, gently leaned on his chest! He is called Ning Jianrui, a thorough nouveau riche! "Scram! Even the damn red carpet cant be laid properly, what use are you?" Ning Jianrui, while delving into the necklines of the two beauties, cursed as he eyed the somewhat wrinkled red carpet. His men, upon hearing his words, dared not utter a sound! "Damn it, a bunch of useless fools! And I still pay you a salary!" Ning Jianrui continued to curse as he walked forward! His target is the Yang Liufeng Club! "Sorry, sir, please leave!" The doorman of the Yang Liufeng Club stopped Ning Jianrui three meters away. "What do you mean?!" The nouveau riche Ning Jianrui immediately exploded: "Damn it! You dare to stop me, your master wouldnt even dare to stop me like this. Understand?!" "Sir, please leave!" The doormans expression also darkened, reprimanding. What crappy master dares not stop! Our master is right here! This is just nouveau riche stuff, whats it worth!? Thinking the Yang Liufeng Club is somewhere anyone can enter! "F*** your mother! Looking for a slap, are you?!" Ning Jianrui immediately became enraged: "Call your boss out, I need to teach him a proper lesson!" Last year, he made a fortune by some luck and became totally arrogant! Driving luxury cars, playing with beauties, he was already sick of all that! Later, he heard about a club called Yang Liufeng in the Imperial, where the real elites hung out! He couldnt hold back his excitement! So, he went straight there! But now, just a little doorman stops him! How could he not be furious! "Sir, please show some respect! This is not a place to act wildly!" The doorman was also angry! This kind of guy doesnt even have the qualification to get close to the Yang Liufeng club! Just a nouveau riche, thinking too highly of himself!? Inside the club, youre nothing but a fart! "Oh, wow, quite arrogant! Do you know who you are talking to?! Look at my car, its a Lamborghini, ever seen one?! Look at the beauties by my side, all beauty pageant champions! Champions, do you understand?! And you say I dont have the right to act up here?! Get your boss out here to kneel and greet me!" Ning Jianrui erupted, bellowing immediately. Showing off his capital to the fullest as a nouveau riche! Lin Feng was playing with his phone, waiting for Lu Xiaobus arrival! Hearing what Ning Jianrui said, he chuckled. He always heard that some nouveau riche who overestimate themselves would come here, but he didnt believe it! Sure enough, today proved it! This world is really becoming more and more impetuous! A few luxury cars, a few beauties, and they get so easily restless! These people are nowhere near Lu Xiaobu! Such people he wouldnt even bother speaking to, too low-level, the doorman can handle it. While the doorman was persuading Ning Jianrui to leave! "Bang!" A loud clang resounded! Followed by a loud shout: "The Emperor arrives!" Yep, Lu Xiaobu is here! Now that he has shown up with his entourage, how could he give up this chance, obviously he came with his team! Just like before, densely packed guards, followed by densely packed palace maids! Lu Xiaobu sat on the carriage, leisurely playing with his phone, moving forward, utterly in the same state as Lin Feng! Seeing this grand display, Lin Feng immediately stood up! He believed, it has to be Lu Xiaobu, no one else plays like this! He moved forward two steps, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to come! Meanwhile, Ning Jianrui, already extremely irritated by the doorman, yelled at him: "Are you freaking done?! Do you know who I am?! Get your boss out here! Ill teach him a lesson." "I am the boss, just get lost! I dont have time to deal with you!" Lin Fengs eyes were icy! Right now, his eyes only had Lu Xiaobu in them! Before Lu Xiaobu arrived, this Ning Jianrui could still be entertainment! But now... Trash, get lost! "Alright then, so youre the boss!" Ning Jianrui exploded right there: "What? I came here to spend money! And you wont let me in?! Is this club gold-lined or what?! F*ck!" The doormans face turned cold instantly! However, before the doorman could speak, Ning Jianrui shouted again: "Im talking to your boss, get lost!" After that, he looked at Lin Feng and said: "You damn come over here! You, dickhead! You want money, right?! Ill give you money! Im not short of money! What, a clown who seeks attention gets a standing welcome! And Im stopped by your doorman outside?!" Ning Jianrui cursed more and more fiercely, more and more harshly! But still! Lin Feng didnt even glance at him! Because by now, Lu Xiaobu had already gotten off the carriage, past the line of palace maids, past the line of soldiers, walking towards him! "Welcome!" Lin Feng looked at this opponent worthy of his respect and couldnt help but reveal a slight smile. "F*ck your mother! Im talking to you!" But Ning Jianrui, seeing Lin Feng ignoring him, was extremely annoyed: "And that attention-seeking asshole! What the hell are you messing around for?! Get lost!" His two sentences scolded both Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu! Saying hes audacious, its not an understatement! People nearby all pitied this Ning Jianruithis kid is definitely doomed! Chapter 235 - 234: The Most Luxurious Pretense of This Lifetime [3rd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 235: Chapter 234: The Most Luxurious Pretense of This Lifetime [3rd Update, Please Subscribe]"This kid is your man?" Lu Xiaobu frowned upon hearing Ning Jianruis blathering. "How could he be?" Lin Feng gave an exaggerated laugh, then his expression turned cold: "But what if I give him to you, how about that?" No sooner had the words left his mouth than a housekeeper by his side proactively handed over some documents to him. Lin Feng casually flipped through them, then went on to say, "Not bad, if squeezed dry, theres still a billion or two in assets to extract. Ill give it to you as an apology!" "You really are stingy. You think this little thing is worth offering?" Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "Its not even enough to pay the salaries of the people behind me." "Ha ha ha, come on, every little bit counts." Lin Feng laughed heartily: "Anyway, Im giving it to you. Whether you take it or not is your problem." "Forget it, just find some place to donate it." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, indifferently. A billion or two, he truly didnt see it as anything significant, and taking such money might even reduce the wasteful amount. He wouldnt take it! "Sure." Lin Feng also shrugged, giving the housekeeper a glance. The housekeeper nodded slightly, signifying understanding, then backed away! The conversation between the two made everyone around them shiver! These are truly top-tier characters! In just a few words, theyve cooked a multimillionaire, who seemed like an emperor to the average person, like dumping dumplings into water to boil! And this plate of dumplings is the kind that people are too lazy to cook, too lazy to eat, eventually giving it away as charity! Look at these two, and then look at that blustering, spitting here, cursing there, acting like Im number one upstart. The difference is crystal clear! Theres a reason they call you an upstart! And the saddest part is, the imbecilic Ning Jianrui has no idea whats happening! Hes still ranting! "F*ck you, didnt you hear me speaking, Im talking to you two little sh*ts!" Ning Jianrui shoved aside the beauty pageant contestants around him, cursing at Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng: "Hairy kids who havent even grown a full set of pubes, still pretending to be garlic! Believe it or not, Ill slap you!" "Shut up!" Lin Feng furrowed his brow, coldly shouting. At once the housekeeper gestured with a wave of his hand. Immediately! A bunch of men in black surged in from all directions, rushing towards Ning Jianrui. In an instant, Ning Jianrui was tied up! Upon realization, he began to struggle violently. But before he could even curse out loud, Lin Fengs housekeeper took a phone from Ning Jianruis body and held it to his ear. Ning Jianrui was momentarily stunned. The number that appeared on the phone was, in fact, his most trusted secretary! What did this mean? Then! The voice on the phone said, "Mr. Ning, whats going on? How come you suddenly went bankrupt! And now youve got a debt of thirty million?!" Crack! As if a bolt from the blue struck Ning Jianruis mind. He went bankrupt?! Bankrupt?! How is this possible? He had a billion! Even if he threw it all around, it couldnt possibly be spent in just a minute! "The hell, Xiao Wang, are you tricking me?!" Ning Jianrui bellowed in panic! Though he didnt dare believe it was true, he had a feeling that it was indeed happening! The source of this feeling was the two young men he had just cursed at but remained jovial and talking. "Mr. Ning, its true! Its really true!" The secretarys panicked voice came through: "Really, have you offended someone?! Why in just a minute, all our partners betrayed us! Every bank is refusing loans, demanding payment! All our orders are maliciously disrupted!..." Secretary Xiao Wang continued speaking. But Ning Jianrui couldnt listen any longer! S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He understood! He really offended someone! He remembered the drink from last night, where a CEO had said to himYou want to go to Yang Liufengs club? Then go! But remember once youre there, keep your tail between your legs, because you cant afford to mess with anyone there! Blurring under the influence of alcohol, he had entirely forgotten those words! It was only now that he remembered! Ning Jianrui instantly knew he had made a mistake, tears and snot streaming down, his body uncontrollably trying to kneel on the ground! "Both of you, both of you! I beg you, I beg you, spare me, spare me!" He was scared, finally scared! Although he still had no idea whom he had offended, he knew he couldnt afford to provoke anyone! But! He didnt even have the right to kneel; he was directly dragged away by the men in black! People around watched the scene, exhibiting a highly mocking smile. The upstart, being Emperor on your own turf isnt bad, right? Insisting on showing off here! Well now, you did put on a show, but the cost is your entire life! Surely, this must be the biggest, most extravagant show youve put on in your life! Ning Jianrui, crying as if his life depended on it, was dragged away. "I let you see a farce," said Lin Feng with a sigh, feeling somewhat annoyed, "This guy has made a real fool of himself." "Its good that you know its embarrassing." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes; he sure wasnt going to give Lin Feng face! He waved towards the honor guard behind him: "Everyone, you can go back now! Thank you for your hard work!" "Long live the Emperor!" The several thousand strong procession immediately shouted neatly in unison. With that sound... Suddenly! Lin Feng showed a look of envy: "Lu Xiaobu, I have to say you really know how to play! Just look at this lineup, look at these beauties and luxury cars, Im so envious!" "Not bad, not bad." Lu Xiaobu, with a raised eyebrow, said proudly: "Just over three thousand beauties, all college students, mind you!" "Dont think I dont know, you only made this happen because of the competition. Normally, you could never manage this. Just disrupting traffic would be enough headache for you! Let alone the rest!" Lin Feng retorted with a curled lip. "Tsk, mind your own business. If youre so capable, you arrange one." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes again: "Sour grapes because you cant eat them!" Lin Feng was helpless. He really couldnt do it! There, hed lost again, and the official competition hadnt even started! He was losing face and losing ground! Damn it! Could it be that Lu Xiaobu was his nemesis!? If Lin Feng was envious, the surrounding crowd was even more so! They all cast looks of envy. Look at Lu Xiaobu, then look at their so-called luxury cars and beauties! This is what disparity looks like! After all, for people at their level, having cars and women was nothing out of the ordinary. Especially in front of this club, these were the least worth showing off! However, Lu Xiaobu had taken luxury cars and beauties to a new level! Lets not even talk about the luxury cars, just look at the honor guard! Not to mention affording to play, even if you want to play, who would let you play? Didnt they just say even Young Master Lin cant afford to play like this! Only Lu Xiaobu could! And then, the beauties! Glance at the female companions beside them. Beauty queens? Campus belles? Little stars? They seemed so feeble in front of those densely packed three thousand beauties! They might have a slight gap in quality, but his numbers completely crushed them! Three thousand beautiful women in the harem, just hearing that sounds domineering, right!? ... However, Lin Feng continued to speak to Lu Xiaobu: "Lets go in then! It really hasnt been easy inviting you over!" If losing the prelude means losing, then from now on, he certainly wont lose again! Chapter 236 - 235: Is the Dumbass Going to Die? [4th Release, Please Subscribe] Chapter 236: Chapter 235: Is the Dumbass Going to Die? [4th Release, Please Subscribe]Entering the Willow Green Clubhouse, the guests had already been cleared out! This was specially arranged by Lin Feng for Lu Xiaobu. After all, he knew that Xiaobu liked to cause a ruckus! To be honest, he was somewhat hard to provoke! "I say youre really bored!" Xiaobu sat on the sofa, and a maid handed him a glass of red wine. Dumbass also came in, still lying on Su Luoxue. "Whats up?" Without outsiders, Lin Feng was still quite relaxed when facing Xiaobu! After all, as the saying goes, the person who can make you most relaxed is generally not a friend, but an enemy! What? Youre asking who said this sentence?! Uhh... yeah, that one, that one, that someone! Right, that someone! Ahem, lets move on to the next topic! "All day long, neglecting important stuff and just picking on me?! Tell me, arent you bored?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes as he spoke. "Not bored at all! I think this is the most interesting thing for me." Lin Feng said with full fighting spirit: "You are the only one I, Lin Feng, have never beaten! I must win against you once!" "If you want to defeat me, you might as well be reborn!" Xiaobu was speechless, not understanding why this guy was so obsessed. After all, he was a reborn person with a system! "What do you mean?" Lin Feng was again startled, Lu Xiaobus words always seemed absurd, leaving him confused. "Nothing!" Xiaobu waved his hand: "You said you have news about her?!" For some reason, he found it hard to utter the words my mother. After all, having news would mean that she might still be alive, but if thats the case, why wouldnt she come back? Whether or not he belonged to this body originally, he found it hard to accept. "Yes, there is!" Lin Feng nodded: "But, as usual, compete with me. After we compete, Ill tell you! Win or lose!" "You really are bored. What are we comparing?" Xiaobu said with a yawn. "Ill tell you in a moment, first let me give you an appetizer!" Lin Feng smiled smugly. Previously, he had tasted defeat at the entrance, now he wants to win back! Yes, even the slightest failure is not allowable! His words had just finished when a room door opened! "Woof woof woof woof!" After the door, which had an excellent irritating effect, was opened, a burst of barking came through. Look! Dumbass, who was originally lying comfortably on Su Luoxue, suddenly perked up! Xiaobu clearly saw Dumbasss eyes almost turning green, almost reverting to his wolf ancestors! Leap! Dumbass jumped off Su Luoxue and gleefully ran into the room. "Bang!" After Dumbass entered, the door was closed again, and no one knew what was happening inside. "What the heck?" Xiaobu was stunned, what kind of a trick was this? "Those are all female dogs, from a dogs perspective, very beautiful bitches." Lin Feng said with utmost pride: "Your dog couldnt resist." "What do you mean? A beauty... a beautiful dog ploy?" Xiaobus mouth twitched slightly, Lin Fengs brain was definitely not normal! "No no no, its not about the bitches, the key is that theres also a male pit bull inside, those bitches are all part of its harem. Worth mentioning is, that pit bull is a real Battle Arena dog! Its fought against lions before!" Lin Feng laughed heartily. Pit bull, meaning "American Battle Arena Bull Terrier," is bred and cultivated for the purpose of dog fighting, a fierce breed with powerful killing power, one of the most formidable dogs in the world! "So, youre making my dumbass fight a pit bull!?" Lu Xiaobus face immediately darkened. This dumbass is just a mongrel, fighting against a pit bull!? Isnt that a sure death?! "Exactly!" Lin Feng was undeniably proud: "How about we place a bet! I bet my pit bull will definitely win!" "Open the damn door! I dont want to play this game with you!" Lu Xiaobus anger surged instantly! This clever dumbass is the apple of their familys eye! Even a small injury would cause them distress for a long time, and now it was actually going to fight a pit bull in a life and death struggle! How could he tolerate this?! This Lin Feng is a total asshole! When speaking nicely, he could still be somewhat agreeable! But once he starts to scheme, once he becomes cruel, hes an undeniable enemy! "Sorry, I cant comply!" Lin Feng also stood up, the previous warmth gone without a trace, filled with coldness and ruthlessness: "We are enemies, this is a contest! Fate will decide life or death!" In his eyes, there was only winning or losing, the win or loss between him and Lu Xiaobu! The life of a dog, he didnt care about! Thank goodness there were no outsiders here, otherwise they would go insane! They would absolutely fail to understand the way these two people interact! Just a second ago, they were still drinking and chatting amiably, even joking with each other! But in just the next second, they were on the verge of confrontation, ready to explode! "Zhang Meng! Li Jin! Open the door for me!" Lu Xiaobu was about to blow up! "Yes!" Both of them were also seething with anger! The dumbass was also the apple of their eye! And now this guy actually wanted the dumbasss life!? "Clap clap!" Lin Feng clapped his hands. Instantly, a mass of black-clad men swarmed out from the club, cramming the spacious living room full! "Lu Xiaobu, I know your men are mighty!" Lin Feng laughed smugly: "Go ahead and fight! My men are here for you to beat up! But by the time you fight your way to the door, the outcome will have already been decided! Oh, right, I also know you dont play by the rules, but dont think about taking me hostage. After all, dont forget why I invited you here!" His heart was filled with a yearning for victory! Lu Xiaobu, this time, Ive won for sure! Ive been studying you every day during this period! You absolutely cant win against me this time! "Dammit!" Lu Xiaobu exploded: "Attack!" "Yes!" Both of them roared and charged into the crowd! "Beautiful!" Lin Feng watched Zhang Meng and Li Jins ferocity with the posture of a victor, enjoying the scene: "Tigers entering a flock of sheep, only this phrase can describe your two generals! But, unfortunately, although sheep cant eat a tiger, they can still drag it down for a while!" "Lin Feng, Im warning you for the last time, release the dumbass!" Lu Xiaobu clenched his fists, his eyes brimming with fury: "Im not in the mood to play with you!" "You may not be, but I am!" Lin Feng spread his hands: "Dont worry, its just a dog! After I win, Ill give you all the dogs in the house to play with!" Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Fuck you, what kind of shitty deal is this, I dont want it!" Lu Xiaobu exploded: "Zhang Meng! Li Jin! Capture that Lin Feng, if anything happens to the dumbass, I want him buried with it!" For the relative he had never met, the dumbass was one too! He couldnt possibly sacrifice one family member to get information about another! "No need, the time is almost up!" But Lin Feng said: "Open the door! I think its already over!" His heart was immensely gratified! He had never even thought about the possibility of losing, after all, this pit bull had once fought lions! Finally, he won! He finally beat Lu Xiaobu once! Chapter 237 - 236: The Dumbass’s Crossed Legs【Extra update for Narcolepsy Reward, 5th update】 Chapter 237: Chapter 236: The Dumbasss Crossed LegsExtra update for Narcolepsy Reward, 5th updateUnder Lin Fengs command! The huge soundproof door was opened again! Lin Fengs face was filled with pride, eagerly anticipating the scene where the Pitbull would tear that little mongrel to pieces! Such a desire for victory excited his entire spirit. But Lu Xiaobu, Zhang Meng, Li Jin, and Su Luoxue all dared not open their eyes to watch! They were even prepared to seek revenge for dumbass! However! The scene inside the room stunned Lin Feng completely! "Damn!" Lin Feng, who always retains his composure and seldom swears even when being ruthless, finally couldnt help but curse! What did he see?! His highly anticipated Pitbull was actually kneeling on the ground, facing the sofa, looking like a little brother?! And on the sofa was that very mongrel! That mongrel was actually freaking seated on the sofa! Please pay attention to this seated! This seated isnt referring to the way dogs sit. Its that damn human-like way of sitting! Its the way of sitting with ones ass on the sofa, back leaning against the backrest! What drove Lin Feng crazy was! That damn mongrel was even sitting there with its legs crossed! Hell, it was even doing it with a bounce! For crying out loud! Are you freaking still a dog? Crossing your legs? He really didnt know whether dogs anatomical structure could even allow them to perform this action! What about those bitches? Lets not even start with that! This mongrel was flanked by two of the prettiest bitches on each side. All the other bitches were laying behind the sofa! A glance over it, and you could clearly see a capital-letter HAREM! For some reason, Lin Feng suddenly recalled the grandeur of the 3000-harem once mentioned by Lu Xiaobu! Could it be! Was this dog emulating Lu Xiaobu!? Nonsense! Though its said as the master, so the dog, its meant in terms of spirit! Not instantaneous imitation! Fuck! A dog that could sit like people, cross its legs, maintain a harem, and show off, tell me if you arent scared!? Lin Feng felt his entire worldview was under assault! He was complete Sparta! Hearing Lin Fengs swearing, Lu Xiaobu also opened his eyes and took a look. And then! sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Fuck your grandpa, dumbass, get the hell out here, Ive been worried sick about you, and youre freaking enjoying life?!" Lu Xiaobu exploded with curses after seeing dumbass lounging with crossed legs. "Ow-woo!" Spotting Lu Xiaobus anger, dumbass didnt dare to act up anymore! Lowering its crossed legs, it jumped off the sofa and ran out obediently, rubbing against Lu Xiaobus legs! "Get lost, cut out the cute act! Stand properly!" Lu Xiaobu was not buying it! "Ow-woo!" Dumbass gave a pitiful look at Zhang Meng and Li Jin. But found that both Zhang Meng and Li Jin also had faces darkened with anger. It then looked at Su Luoxue. Right, Ice Queen! No more messing around, it had to behave now! So, dumbass obediently moved in front of Lu Xiaobu and stood up, ready to be scolded! "Stand properly! I didnt say to stand on all fours! You can cross your legs! Cant you even stand up?!" Lu Xiaobu continued scolding. He had suspected earlier that dumbass might be feigning ignorance after eating divine-level dog food! That scene just now completely clarified it for him! This dog was indeed putting on an act! "Woof." Dumbass uttered, helplessly having no choice but to stand up on its hind legs. Dealing with such an owner, it was helpless! Lin Feng was astonishedDamn, is this a dog or a person? Even dogs that have been specifically trained cant possibly reach this level of normal interaction with humans! "Youre just a scumbag! Cant keep walking when you see a bitch?! Huh!? Youll end up dying on a bitchs belly sooner or later! Ah, no, I mean back!" Lu Xiaobu saw dumbass standing properly and immediately started to berate him, pointing at his own nose! "Woof woof woof!" Dumbass suddenly barked a few times and even glanced at Su Luoxue. It looked as if he was sayingIts all because I learned from you! At this moment, Lin Feng went even crazier! Damn it, its one thing you understand human speech! Now what, you can talk back?! Lu Xiaobu, is your dog trying to ascend to heaven?! "Whats the matter! Still not convinced?" Lu Xiaobu was infuriated yet amused: "Zhang Meng, get me a broom! Today Ive got to give him a proper thrashing!" "Owwww!" Dumbass got scared and turned tail to run! Its all over, overstepped the boundaries, now Im really going to get hit! After running a couple of steps, it suddenly thought of a solution! If the master is angry, why not just release his anger? And so! "Woof woof woof!" It started barking commands. With its barking, all the dogs in the house ran out! Then! The pack of dogs started to wreak havoc! Biting sofas, chewing on carpets, peeing everywhere, smashing things! Just imagine! How could Young Master Lins club possibly contain anything but the finest items! So! A painting bought in Italy by Lin Feng, worth fifty million US dollars, was shredded to pieces by two dogs! A Ming Dynasty vase was pushed over by a dog and smashed to smithereens! The ground covered with pure sheep wool carpet, valued at seven million, now reeked of urine! That set of redwood furniture in the northwest corner, worth twenty million, gnawed with teeth marks all over! ... "Oh my god!" Lin Feng was originally in shock, watching Lu Xiaobus magical, human-like dog training actions! Seeing the mess, he exploded in rage, and yelled at the black-clad men: "What are you dawdling for? Catch those dogs now! If we wait any longer, my club will be demolished!" The black-clad men sprang into action! In an instant! The entire club was in chaosnot chickens flying and dogs jumping, but rather dogs jumping and people running! Now it was done, the club was even more thoroughly wrecked! Several black-clad men were scratched and bitten by the dogs! In a frenzy! Dog hair and clothes flew about together, urine and blood of the same hue! Especially the most ferocious pit bull, not even three men could hold it down, instead, it bit several people! It truly deserved its reputation of having fought lions. When it bit someone, a chunk of flesh came off! The black-clad men were wailing in pain! Never mind them, even Lin Feng, closely protected, nearly suffered an attack; it took a bodyguards sacrifice to shield Lin Feng from harm! While it was hectic on this side, Lu Xiaobus area remained a peaceful haven! Due to dumbasss order, the dogs did not approach Lu Xiaobus side at all. "Young Master Lin, do you want to take refuge over there for a while? The butler has gone to get the tranquilizer gun! Itll be resolved shortly!" A black-clad man suggested. "Take refuge my ass!" Lin Feng erupted in thunderous fury! This was his club, the dogs were his preparation, he had prepared them to win over Lu Xiaobu! Now his own dogs had turned on him, which was humiliating enough! This guy actually suggested he seek Lu Xiaobus protection, in his own club?! He would rather be bitten by a pit bull than suffer such disgrace! "Young Master Lin, Im coming!" The butler finally returned, bringing the tranquilizer gun with him! Bang bang bang! With a series of sounds, one dog after another was knocked out! "Damn it all, kill them!" Lin Feng, looking at his wrecked club, was beside himself with fury! "Wait." Lu Xiaobu then stepped forward. The matter of you daring to harm my dumbass isnt settled yet! Although dumbass is unharmed, if I let you off easy, then I am not Lu Xiaobu! Chapter 238 - 237: Dragons Chanting, Swords Whistling 【1st Update】 Chapter 238: Chapter 237: Dragons Chanting, Swords Whistling 1st Update"What are you doing?" Lin Feng is now in a raging fury, his tone ice-cold beyond belief. In this state, even the other four sons of the Imperial wouldnt dare to provoke him! For ordinary people, its even more lethal, and by lethal, I mean truly lethal! However, just because others dont dare, doesnt mean Lu Xiaobu wont! "These dogs are mine now, you have no right to kill them." Lu Xiaobu tilted his head, looking at Lin Feng with merciless mockery in his eyes! "Since when are they your dogs!?" Lin Feng was fuming, his eyes sharp as swords, he suddenly turned back: "Lu Xiaobu, Im warning you! Dont provoke me at this time!" "Provoke you! What can you do?!" Lu Xiaobu sneered, confronting him head-on! Previously he warned Lin Feng not to joke about dumbasss life, Lin Feng ignored it! Now Lin Feng warns him, wanting him to give up and get lost! Lu Xiaobus immense gaze, like a dragon roaring from the abyss, fearlessly collided with Lin Fengs gaze! Suddenly, it seemed as if a series of electric sparks were emitted in the space! People felt like they saw a gigantic dragon and a treasure sword constantly clashing in the air. The dragon roared continuously, and the sword sung mournfully! A moment later. Lin Feng took a deep breath, and after a final look at Lu Xiaobu, he stepped back: "Give me a reason." Though todays losses were severe, they were nothing compared to Lu Xiaobu, this opponent! For Lu Xiaobu, he endured! If Lu Xiaobu gives any reason thats not a reason, just to give him an out, he would let the dogs go! "No reason!" Lu Xiaobu did not offer any quarter, outright dominating! "You!" Lin Fengs rage surged once more, almost breaking through the skies! He had already stepped back so much, yet this Lu Xiaobu still dared so! Really thought he wouldnt make a move against him!? "How so?!" Lu Xiaobu snorted coldly, not giving Lin Feng any face! Huh! A formless wind suddenly arose in the hall, strongly penetrating the hearts of everyone, leaving them shivering cold! All of Lin Fengs men involuntarily bent down, they actually couldnt directly face this confrontation! Only Zhang Meng and Li Jin clenched their fists slightly, True Qi began to surge, ready to take action at any moment. Suddenly! Lin Feng seemed to have thought of something! He burst into wild laughter! "Ha ha ha ha!" His smile tightened, looking at Lu Xiaobu: "Lu Xiaobu, Lu Xiaobu, its indeed you, only you! Fine, you dont give me face, Ill give you face! Butler, release the dogs!" "Yes, Young Master Lin." The butler was very surprised in his heart, yet he still spoke softly. Young Master Lin actually bowed his head!? How could this be?! He had seen Lu Xiaobu many times, and he didnt feel anything special! In every aspect compared to Young Master Lin, they are not on the same level! However, their several confrontations always left Young Master Lin at a disadvantage. This time it was even direct, directly at a visible disadvantage! What in the world is going on?! "Li Jin, return the dogs." Lu Xiaobu also gave the order at the same time. "Yes!" Li Jin nodded at Zhang Meng, reminding him to protect Lu Xiaobu well, then he took the dogs and left. "Lets start the next round." sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Feng watched Lu Xiaobu, his eyes filled with unrestrained light. His retreat wasnt a submission, but for this round! "What are we comparing?" Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. "What to compare?" A smile began to reappear on Lin Fengs lips, growing wider: "In the first round at Shimen, we competed in cunning; later in the second round in Imperial, we competed in martial strength; now for this third round, I originally planned to compare intellect, but now it seems we can only compare luck." "Intellect? Luck?" Lu Xiaobu frowned; Lin Feng really would do anything to win! Anything could be a competition! "I wont mince words! Ill tell you the truth, before you came, I hid the information you wanted in this clubhouse. If it were before, Id give you a clue and let you slowly deduce and search, but now..." Lin Feng looked at the furniture that had all been replaced and spread his hands: "All clues have vanished, and I wont give you any clues again. If you want the information, find it yourself! Lets see how your luck fares!" His heart filled with pride once again. Lu Xiaobu, you never expected this! Why do you think I let you in?! Because I found a more fun competition! Lets see how you find it now! Su Luoxue listened to the rules and furrowed her brow; this is trouble! Now that the furniture has all been changed, it means that the clues, or even the information itself, might have been taken away! If they want to find it, the best way is to locate that furniture and return it to its original position. Then try to revert the scene back to before the dogs were playing. Only then can deduction happen! But clearly, Lin Feng wont let them do that! Wait, theres another point. The dogs that left could also possibly be carrying the information! Damn! This is straight-up a deadlock! Seeing Su Luoxues expression, Lin Fengs smile grew even broader: "Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, the women around you are indeed not simple! Looking at this new woman of yours, she probably already realizes how difficult this competition is! Thats right, its a deadlock now, and youre bound to lose!" "By the way, one more thing, I said before that regardless of winning or losing, I would tell you the information, right?" "Now, Ive changed my mind! Redefining the rulesif you find it, you take the information and Ill give you an extra gift." Speaking this, Lin Fengs smile started turning cold: "But, if you cant find it, then Im sorry, youll never be able to find this information ever again! Remember, never!!" He had retreated earlier, but now he wanted to take it back! Lu Xiaobu, just you regret it! Forcing me to retreat over a few dogs and standing tough against me! Now, youll pay a price ten times more severe! I look forward to the moment when you beg me, beg me to give you the information! "Indeed not bad, a brilliant stratagem!" Lu Xiaobu clapped his hands, showing his appreciation: "But, what did you just say we were going to compare?" "Intellect." Lin Feng returned. Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "No, no, no, what are you saying were going to compare now?" "Luck." Lin Feng continued. He wasnt anxious, not at all. Even quite leisurely! The longer it dragged on, the better. After all, the further the furniture and the dogs went, The harder it would be for Lu Xiaobu to locate them! Losing a round isnt scary, winning at the end is what truly counts as winning. "Luck, huh! Im the least afraid of comparing luck now!" Lu Xiaobu also laughed, equally calm and leisurely. I am a man with a Luck Aura! Comparing luck with me! Ill slap your face! Thus. The two who were previously at each others throats, now both bore leisurely and confident smiles on their faces. Just by looking at their smiles, who would have thought these two were about to fight?! Chapter 240 - 239: Come on, Lose Heartily! [Added for Ten Thousand Rewards for Mi Dandan] Chapter 240: Chapter 239: Come on, Lose Heartily! [Added for Ten Thousand Rewards for Mi Dandan]Lu Xiaobu left, under the steely face of Lin Feng. He had reaped a bountiful harvest this time and was very happy. He got a villa, news about her, his eldest brother was getting married, and of course, he had made a scenefour joys at the door! On the road, Lu Xiaobu thought it over and made a decision. The matters with the He Family in Xiangjiang could wait, the top priority now was his eldest brothers wedding. It was crucial to first give his big brother a grand and glorious wedding. So, without further ado, he requested leave from school and returned to Shimen! Forget the LOL tournament, play it by yourself! Lu Xiaobus private jetChallenger, landed in Shimen. He didnt feel it while he was in Imperial, but upon returning to Shimen, he realized he had been away from home for over two months! In a blink of an eye, the New Year was almost here! Returning home. "Dad, big brother, second brother, Im back." Lu Xiaobu called out as he came home. "Youre back? Come, come, just in time for dinner." Since Lu Hongbin was getting married, Lus father clearly was in a great mood. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu greeted everyone to sit down. "Who is this..." Lu Hongbin was also cheerful and asked Su Luoxue, whom he had just met. "My secretary." Lu Xiaobu replied. "Secretary?! When did you get another secretary?" Lu Wenhuo rolled his eyes: "Arent you afraid the single dogs will beat you up!?" "Like you, second brother?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Get lost! Youre turning the world upside down, now daring to mock your second brother." Lu Wenhuo turned red with a mix of laughter and scolding. But it seemed like he was indeed the only single dog in the house. Big brother was getting married and Lu Xiaobu surely wasnt worried about finding a wife, surrounded by a throng of beauties! "Yes, in that regard, I agree with Xiaobu. Wenhao, you really should get a girlfriend," Lu Hongbin also nodded: "Remember, dont be afraid, as long as the other party is sincere, theres nothing the Lu family cant handle!" "Yes, exactly, thats how I taught our big brother initially." Lu Xiaobu immediately nodded in agreement. "Pfft!" Lu Wenhuo burst into laughter: "Oh, so Xiaobu taught you! Big brother, thats not very honorable of you. Using Xiaobus words to lecture me, I thought you were so capable!" "Go away!" Lu Hongbin also blushed, that Xiaobu, really, dont you know your big brother is putting on airs, must you expose me! "Speaking of which, wheres sister-in-law?" Lu Xiaobu looked around, not seeing Lin Shu. "Of course, shes at her parents home, thats the tradition." Lu Hongbin explained. "Oh." Lu Xiaobu nodded, then looked at Liang Lan: "Sister Lan, how is my big brothers wedding preparation going?" This was a great opportunity to be wasteful, must splurge thoroughly! sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Best to spend all the available funds! Enough with the small and petty stuff! Come on, lets splurge to the fullest! "The wedding dresses are designed by an Italian designer, three sets in total: one white wedding dress, one red, and one cheongsam," Liang Lan said. "Italian designed cheongsam? Nonsense, well use their designs for the wedding dresses, but find someone domestically for the cheongsam!" Lu Xiaobu frowned. Seeing Lu Xiaobus expression, the Lu family knew he was about to go on a spending spree. And it was no longer a surprise to them! After all, its just a set of cheongsamsnot a wasteful amount! Especially Lu Hongbin felt proudsee? This is my little brother, so dedicated to his big brothers wedding. Arent you envious!? "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded, continuing: "The wedding diamond ring is also purchased, 10 million." "That wont do." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and casually searched on his phone: "Buy this one." He had no clue about the diamond market; just buy whatever was the biggest. Liang Lan looked at the picture, her mouth twitching. Star of Africa, Cullinan, 3106 carats, the second largest gem diamond in the world! Maybe everyone doesnt feel much about 3106 carats, lets use another term, 621.2 grams, more than a jin of diamond! Truly buying diamonds by the jin! "Young Master, thats a rough stone, the Star of Africa has already been cut into 9 large diamonds and 96 small diamonds, its not that big anymore," Liang Lan advised. She had another sentence unspokenbesides, we cant afford it anyway. But she couldnt say this, otherwise, once said, the Young Master would definitely blow up! "Alright, then lets just buy the biggest one back," Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment and said. "Okay, Ill make the contact," Liang Lan resignedly said. "That, Liang Lan, how much is it approximately?!" Lus father couldnt help but ask. "It should be around twenty billion." Liang Lan spread her hands and answered. Lu Xiaobu was delighted, this is good, this is a huge waste! Twenty billion in wasteful amount, just thinking about it makes me happy! "Pfft!" And Lu Hongbin, who had been smug, sprayed a faceful of cola on Lu Wenhao. Twenty billion?! Twenty billion to buy a diamond? For a wedding?! "No, no, Xiaobu, no need for it to be that big, really no need." Lu Hongbin hurriedly advised, "Buying something that big is too wasteful." "Wasteful? No problem, Im a profligate spender, wastefulness is quite normal." Hearing wastefulness, Lu Xiaobu became even more excited. "Its not about being wasteful, its about being burdensome, burdensome. Think about it, such a big stone would be so heavy!" Lu Hongbin, wanting to slap himself, hastily continued to explain. What am I doing talking about wastefulness! The more wastefulness is mentioned, the more excited Lu Xiaobu gets! "Er... thats true," Lu Xiaobu thought about the idea of wearing something the size of a ping-pong ball around his neck, which indeed didnt seem appealing: "Sister Lan, what size do you think is appropriate?" "50 carats! About the size of a pigeons egg, it will be much more comfortable. Get one of better quality, probably about three billion." Liang Lan thought for a moment and then answered. "Alright, I guess thatll do!" Lu Xiaobu reluctantly nodded. Three billion, thats also kind of okay! Lu Hongbin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, glad to have saved the situation! If it were twenty billion for a diamond, it would have killed him! Although its painful enough now! "Sister Lan, go on, what else is there?" Lu Xiaobu continued to ask. "Plus the various wedding banquet expenses, alcohol, etc., roughly seventy million." Under the beseeching gaze of Lu Hongbin, Liang Lan chose to report a generalized number. She also knew, if she reported every item, the Young Master surely would insist on reaching the maximum of seventy billion! By lumping it together, it would cost much less. "Seventy million? A billion! No matter how, just spend it all!" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and said. "Yes, Young Master," Liang Lan resignedly said: "Ill do my best to spend it all." Lu Hongbin felt both warmth and pain. Warmed because Lu Xiaobu was so dedicated to his wedding. And pained because money was flying away with just the movement of Lu Xiaobus lipsyep, thirteen billion gone! Furthermore, he had a strange feeling as if Lu Xiaobu was like a hungry wolf seeing meat! No wonder they say blood is thicker than water, Lu Hongbin actually guessed right! Right now, Lu Xiaobu was indeed like a hungry wolf that had seen meat! Having caught the opportunity to squander on a grand scale, how could he let it slip?! So far, so good, thirteen billion squandered, satisfying! A satisfied Lu Xiaobu was humming. Thus, the most luxurious wedding in history, costing thirteen billion, was about to start!

Lu Xiaobu walked in, followed by Zhang Meng and others. Dumbass followed closely behind, trailed by pit bulls and other dogs. Like owner, like dog. Now this dumbass is getting closer to Lu Xiaobu in all sorts of ways. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even the lineup is beginning to mimic. The pit bull behind it is its Zhang Meng. And its small eyes kept sizing up Lu Xiaobus crew. It looked like it even wanted Lu Xiaobu to get it a Li Jin or something! Zhang Meng and Li Jin were so furious they wanted to smack it! You little thing, who are you comparing to? "Xiaobu is back, go and rest." Lus father didnt want Lu Xiaobu to be involved in these matters. Hong Bin was about to get married, better to be lively and safe, get the wedding done first. "Oh." Although Lu Xiaobu could tell that the atmosphere in the hall full of melon seed shells wasnt quite right, since Lus father had spoken, he couldnt really say much. However, just as he turned around, murmuring started. "Is this that wastrel Lu Xiaobu?" "I think so, look at that demeanor, just like it!" "Didnt I hear that Lu Xiaobu is very weak, about to die? How come hes not dead yet?!" "..." Hearing this! Lu Xiaobus footsteps suddenly paused. Zhang Meng and Li Jin clenched their fists instantly, about to turn around and beat that inhumane thing! "Lets go." Lu Xiaobu suddenly spoke, then continued walking to the side! His brother was getting married, best to avoid trouble to prevent issues at the time. Maybe, they didnt mean it! But then! "Fuck your moms! Try saying that again!" The about-to-marry Lu Hongbin exploded on the spot, kicking over a table nearby, eyes red as he stared at that verbally outrageous Lu Haoyi! He could tolerate anything, but not that comment! Saying Xiaobu is about to die?! Screw this wedding, Im done with this! Im killing this guy today! Lus father was beside him, squeezing his teacup, face red with anger. This is no longer just crossing the line! Apparently, he really made a mistake, he shouldve never bothered with this noisy, dog-shit relatives! Lu Wenhao also slowly stood up, grasping the chair beside him! Hes going to obliterate this trash with the chair! "Whats wrong? Why are you angry? Isnt my son telling the truth?! Youre getting married, and youre still so irritable! What, is your family going to eat someone? I see your family fortune being squandered by you sooner or later!" The mother of Lu Haoyi stood up, yelling with a pale and anxious face. She was upset that Lu Hongbin had scolded her son! But she never considered that her son was speaking inhumanly! "Indeed, getting rich and then betraying, not understanding investments is one thing, but not allowing the truth to be told." Lu Haoyi also stood up and shouted, "What? You want to fight me? Do you believe I can make your wedding fall through? Do you know who I met today?" He was full of confidence now; his family might not give him money, but he borrowed from others, and he believed hed be a billionaire in no less than three months! Lu Xiaobu exploded in rage, turned around, and kicked out! This time, in extreme fury, he didnt even wait for Zhang Meng to make a move! "Bang!" Lu Haoyi, in the midst of outrageous talk, was directly knocked to the ground by Lu Xiaobus kick. "What did you just say?!" Lu Xiaobu, with a cold face, stared down at Lu Haoyi, and kicked that face again! He held back when insulted! Mess with his brothers wedding?! Mess with his brothers lifetime event?! Today, no one could stop him! "Spit!" Lu Haoyi directly got three teeth kicked out by Lu Xiaobus foot! Spitting out fresh blood! "What are you doing? Why are you hitting my son! Are you allowed to hit my son?" Lu Haoyis mother clawed and charged towards Lu Xiaobu. "Slap!" Zhang Meng and Li Jinyi grabbed her arms from left and right, pinning her down! "Shut up, I see youre a mother, I wont make a big deal out of it, but if you spout another word, your son will suffer for you!" Lu Xiaobus gaze was as sharp as a knife! "You son of a..." Lu Haoyis mother started cursing as soon as she opened her mouth! Lu Xiaobu lifted his foot and stomped fiercely! "Bang!" His big foot kicked directly onto Lu Haoyis face! His nasal bone broke instantly! The pain made Lu Haoyi scream miserably! "My son! My son! I..." Lu Haoyis mother was instantly frightened into silence, daring not to speak anymore! She realized, this Lu Xiaobu was a madman! "Now its your turn." Lu Xiaobu looked down at Lu Haoyi! "What do you want to do!?" Though Lu Haoyi was in pain on the ground, his face contorted. But he was still arrogant, shouting fiercely: "You only know how to spend money, not how to make it, you wasteful son, dare to hit me? Do you know who my brother is? With just one word from him, not only can he stop your marriage, he can even make the Lu family disappear without a trace!" "Oh? Who is your brother?! Come on, call him here and lets see!" Lu Xiaobu was amused by the boys ignorance and arrogance. Where is this? This is Shimen! He wanted to see who dared to make such a statement! "Fine, you wait, Ill make a call!" Lu Haoyi took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, bro, its me!" Lu Haoyi spoke eagerly. "Who is this?!" The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit confused. Hearing this voice, Lu Xiaobu sneered at the corner of his mouthZhang Wenliang?! "Its me, we drank together yesterday, you even lent me ten million, you forgot?! You really are a forgetful big shot!" While wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lu Haoyi spoke. "Oh, now I remember, its you! Whats up?" Zhang Wenliang suddenly realized. Just yesterday this kid was drinking at their bar, he had seen it. This kid said he was a relative of the Lu family, Zhang Wenliang checked and it was true. So Zhang Wenliang had the bar girls take extra good care of him. After all, the Lu family is their Zhang familys support and ruler. Although almost no one knows about this relationship, giving face in various aspects is what an employee should do, right? Later they drank a couple more rounds, he heard this kid wanted money for an investment. It was just ten million anyway, Zhang Wenliang didnt think too much and just handed it over. He never thought about getting this money back! After all, hearing about that project, even he knew it was just fooling around! "I got beaten up! I need your help, brother!" Lu Haoyi bit his teeth and glared at Lu Xiaobu in front of him. "What!? Beaten up!? Where are you? Im coming over now with people!" Zhang Wenliang jumped up instantly. A member of the Lu family got beaten up in Shimen? If his Uncle Lu, that is, Lu Xiaobu heard this, wouldnt he skin them alive! "Im at the Lus!" Lu Haoyis gaze showed a mixture of triumph and maliciousness at Lu Xiaobu. Youre finished! "F*ck! Ill be there in a minute!" Zhang Wenliang completely freaked out! He immediately hung up the phone and called people! A member of the Lu family got beaten up at the Lu familys doorstep!? This is a serious negligence! He wanted to see who was daring enough, either a new little thug or some mighty dragon crossing the river!? Chapter 243 - 242: Rely on a Mountain? It’s a Demon! [Second Series Update, Subscription Request] Chapter 243: Chapter 242: Rely on a Mountain? Its a Demon! [Second Series Update, Subscription Request]"One minute means one minute." Zhang Wenliang arrived at the Lu Familys doorstep with the utmost speed. He thought he would be greeted by a bunch of thugs. But upon arrival! Hmm, nothing! This made him somewhat confused. "Zhang Wenliang, the Young Master asked you to come in alone." Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhang Meng spoke at the entrance. "Is Uncle Lu home?" Seeing Zhang Meng, Zhang Wenliang was momentarily taken aback. If there really were any powerful "dragons crossing the river," having Zhang Meng there would surely settle it! But, no need to overthink, since Uncle Lu summoned him, he just had to go in. He quickly put aside the tool in his hand, straightened his clothes, and hurriedly walked inside. Upon entering. "Brother, brother! Im here!" Still being stepped on by Lu Xiaobu, the bruised Lu Haoyi shouted excitedly at the sight of Zhang Wenliang. He felt extremely proud, with Zhang Wenliang here, he feared nothing! You know, although Zhang Wenliang is an underworld prince, his brain isnt quite sharp. Just with a slight move of his lips yesterday, he managed to ask for ten million! Ten million, thats a lot! So much nice stuff could be bought! And it came to him so easily! Honestly, if it werent for the urgent push from the other end, he wouldnt bother to invest those ten million! He felt he could totally become a billionaire with his eloquence! What a joke, whos Lu Xiaobu compared to him? Thats why he felt so confident and inflated, and also so idiotic today! "Damn!" Zhang Wenliang instantly understood the situation! Fuck, so the asshole talking about beating him was Uncle Lu! To ask him to teach Uncle Lu a lesson, is this guy brain-damaged? How can anyone be so incredibly stupid?! Doesnt he know the reason their so-called Lu family relatives are untouchable in Shimen is because of this very person! He quickly took a few steps forward, approached Lu Xiaobu, bent over, and whispered: "Uncle Lu, Im here." "Uh." Lu Xiaobu nodded faintly, then looked at Lu Haoyi: "Your backer is here, what do you want to say?!" "No, Uncle Lu, Im not his backer." Zhang Wenliang eagerly explained: "Its just, he said he was your relative, so I..." He definitely didnt want to be misunderstood by Lu Xiaobu! "Shut up, I didnt ask you." Lu Xiaobu scolded. "Yes!" Zhang Wenliang promptly closed his mouth and stood aside waiting for instructions. Despite his high status, if Uncle Lu didnt allow him to speak, he couldnt speak! At this moment, Lu Haoyi was completely dumbfounded! Crack! Crack! Invisible lightning struck his mind like thunderbolts crisscrossing and frying him to a crisp inside-out! What did he see!? That was Zhang Wenliang! He had already inquired yesterday, the Zhang Family is the dragon head of Shimens underworld, and Zhang Wenliang, the prince among dragon heads, was so submissive in front of Lu Xiaobu!? No, this wasnt just being submissive; this was downright servitude! Isnt Lu Xiaobu just a wastrel? But why was it like this!? His overly inflated ego was utterly crushed! He suddenly understood! The reason he managed to ask for ten million wasnt because he was awesome, nor because he was eloquent, nor because he was a chosen child, but merely because of his identity as Lu Xiaobus relative!! Suddenly! A sense of panic surged into Lu Haoyis heart. He finally realized his mistake! And amid the panic, there was regret! He had backed the wrong protector; this was the real powerful backer! Is he an idiot?! "Not going to speak? Then theres no need to." Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly: "Zhang Wenliang, this man is now yours, didnt he borrow a million from you? Follow the rules as they are." After speaking, Lu Xiaobu let go of Lu Haoyi and handed him over to Zhang Wenliang. Big brother is getting married, too much chaos at home isnt good. Besides, dealing with this type of person, Zhang Wenliang had far more methods than him! "Yes, Uncle Lu." Zhang Wenliang nodded. Then his gaze turned fierce: "Lu Haoyi, you should understand the rule of borrowing nine returning thirteen, I lent you a million yesterday, today, I want one million four hundred and fifty thousand back! Pay up!" He despised this idiot to death! If it werent for this idiot, how could Uncle Lu have scolded him!? "I... I... I..." Terrified, Lu Haoyi trembled, "I only borrowed money from you yesterday, and it was ten million yuan. Why do I need to repay fourteen million five hundred thousand yuan?! This is usury!" He never expected that the strength he had called upon would turn into his demon! "It was usury from the beginning! Didnt you know when you borrowed the money?" Zhang Wenliang revealed a sinister smile and clenched his fist, "You can choose not to repay. Or rather, I suggest you dont repay, because that way theres more fun to be had." "Ill repay! Ill repay!" So terrified he was nearly wetting himself, Lu Haoyi shakily took out his cellphone to call his business partner. The call connected! He thought highly of himself; his business partner was so wealthy and their relationship so close! Surely he would be willing to repay the money for him and even lend him more! But then! "Brother, my money..." He had just mentioned the word money when Beep beep beep! The call was disconnected! Forget about borrowing money or repaying money, the other party didnt even listen to what he had to say and just hung up directly! "Oh, looks like you cant pay back the money!" Zhang Wenliangs smile grew more ferocious and cheerful! Dealing with such people, one must be ruthless! "No no no, it must be a problem with the phone. We have a great relationship!" Lu Haoyi was frantic, hastily dialing again. Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service! Click! Another thunderbolt crashed into Lu Haoyis mind! His entire brain went blank! Even he wasnt that foolish to not understand now! His so-called good brother had betrayed him! That damn swindler! Swindled ten million from him!!! "Great!" Zhang Wenliang laughed, "This way, no one can accuse me of breaking the rules!" While speaking, Zhang Wenliang lifted his foot and stomped on Lu Haoyis thigh muscle. The pain in this area is extremely intense! Perfect for warming up! Harder, harder, harder still! "Ah!!!" Lu Haoyi screamed in agony, unable to escape at all! "Shut up, get out!" Lu Xiaobu frowned and scolded. "Yes!" Zhang Wenliang quickly nodded. In front of Lu Haoyi, Zhang Wenliang acted like a boss, but in front of Lu Xiaobu, he was merely a lackey! He released his foot, grabbed Lu Haoyis leg, and forcibly dragged him away upside down! "No! No! Mom! Mom! Save me! Save me!" Lu Haoyi struggled frantically! His hands firmly gripping the ground, resisting Zhang Wenliangs force! He absolutely did not want to be dragged out! However! "Kid, have you watched too many TV dramas!? You think you can withstand this?!" Zhang Wenliang sneered, turned his head, and stomped on Lu Haoyis hands gripping the ground. Crack! A crisp sound of bones breaking! "Ah!" Lu Haoyi screamed again, covering his broken fingers and crying hysterically, "Mom, save me!" Just like that, Lu Haoyi was forcibly dragged out by Zhang Wenliang! "No! No! No! My son!" Lu Haoyis mother, that shrew, seeing this scene, went crazy, "What are you trying to do? Youre completely heartless! I will fight you!" Such a pitiful person! Even now, she could not see reality, living in her own little world. And at that moment! "Ah!" Lu Haoyi, who was already far away, let out a crystal clear wail of agony! Heartrending! Then, Zhang Wenliang walked in holding something. The shrew instantly collapsed! Chapter 244 - 243: The Mainstay [Extra - for Meng Xiaobin with 10,000 rewards] Chapter 244: Chapter 243: The Mainstay [Extra Chapter for Meng Xiaobin with 10,000 rewards]Zhang Wenliangs hands were stained with a hint of fresh blood at the moment, and his right hand was holding a pair of tweezers clamping a finger. As for whose it was, there was no need to say more. The shrew instantly broke down: "You bunch of demons! Demons!" "Demons? Indeed, I am a demon!" Zhang Wenliang would certainly not let Lu Xiaobu take the fall. He looked at the shrew with a savage smile: "Let me tell you, remember to pay back the money, or well have plenty of time to play slowly! If the fingers are gone, there are toes, and if the toes are gone, there is that thing! I believe you wouldnt want to witness that scene!" The shrew felt an instant chill all over her body, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar! Now she finally understood, finally understood! She finally realized her worthless status! "That, brother, uncle, no, grandfather! Im sorry, I apologize, please let my son go!" The shrew came in front of Lu Xiaobu, frantically begging for mercy. How pitiful she was, she didnt even know how to properly address the Lu family. Because they were those so-called relatives that one couldnt reach even with an eight-pole pole. If one were to sort out the relationships generation by generation, who knows how long it would take! They originally just wanted to tag along for free meals and drinks, but unexpectedly it ended up involving ten million. So they suddenly got inflated! Now everything has returned to its original form! "Apologize? Youre not worthy." Lu Xiaobus gaze was indifferent. Did something wrong and just want to solve the problem with an apology? Up to this point, Lin Feng was the only one who could settle a dispute with him with an apology. Could this shrew be compared to Lin Feng?! The surrounding relatives were silent as cicadas in winter, freezing with cold, not daring to breathe loudly! In their hearts, including what they had seen and heard these two days, Lu Xiaobu was just a wastrel waiting for death! But where was the Lu Xiaobu who merely waited for death today?! Could a wastrel waiting for death have this kind of authority, this kind of superior aura?! If he was such a person, then what were they? Trash?! The trash of trash?! Even those relatives who were truly related to the Lu family felt this way, let alone others like Lu Haoyi, who were far too distantly related, they were so frightened they were nearly peeing themselves! A finger?! Gone just like that, a finger?! And still owing fourteen million five hundred thousand?! Let alone fourteen million five hundred thousand, even if they were asked to produce five hundred thousand immediately, there probably werent many who could do it! They started shuddering in their hearts, beginning to calculate how much money they had swindled these few days? How much they had to pay back! Many began thinking about retreating. "I dont know you and I dont know whether you are relatives or not, but since you came, just be good relatives for me!" Lu Xiaobu stood in the hall and commanded coldly: "The day after tomorrow is my elder brothers wedding. Be lively and joyful, if you make the wedding successful and beautiful, there will be advantages for you! However, if theres a problem... Zhang Wenliang, you supervise!" "Yes, Uncle Lu!" Zhang Wenliang immediately nodded and agreed: "I guarantee this wedding will be the most beautiful, the most lively ever!" "Okay! Yes! No problem!" The so-called relatives all straightened their backs, one by one pledged their agreement! How could they dare not agree?! They were all secretly swearing in their hearts to utilize all their skills to ensure a lively wedding! Otherwise, it could easily mean trouble for their lives! Now they couldnt even laugh at Lu Xiaobu, they didnt have the standing to even look up to him! Just like that shrew kneeling on the ground, ignored, not even qualified to apologize! All they had to do was follow orders! "Not bad, all of you can go now!" Lu Xiaobu looked at the attitude of these people, and the curve of his mouth finally wasnt so cold anymore! Not bad! He was very satisfied with this attitude! Presumably, with this approach, his elder brothers wedding would certainly be lively! Under Zhang Wenliangs protection, a crowd of relatives dispersed. ... The hall was now left with only the Lu Familys own people! Lu Hongbin suddenly reached out, wanting to touch Lu Xiaobus head as he used to. But he stopped halfway. He hesitated, Xiaobu had grown up, having become the pillar of the family; he wondered if he should still do this. Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and proactively moved closer, placing Lu Hongbins hand on his head: "Really, big brother, youre being too sentimental! Youre my big brother; what are you afraid of?" "Go on, you little rascal." Lu Hongbin laughed and scolded, then patted Lu Xiaobus head, sighing: "Xiaobu, Xiaobu, youve changed so much over the past six months! From a worthless rascal before to now being our familys guardian deity! Dad, I, and Wenhao all rely on your protection now!" His emotions were the most complex of those present. He was about to get married, about to have his own family! Although it seemed there was no change on the surface, and everyone still lived together, He indeed had taken on the responsibility of a husband! And even, in the future, the responsibility of being a father! Now seeing how powerful and mighty Xiaobu had become, protecting the family, he felt immensely comforted and proud! "How could that be." Lu Xiaobu pursed his lips. "How could it not be, youre stronger than your big brother and your second brother, especially your second brother!" Lu Father also laughed heartily. Yet he couldnt help but feel a surge of tears welling up. Xiaobus success was something he had always hoped for. Although Xiaobu had been changing and growing over the last half year, In Lu Fathers eyes, he was still that carefree, playful, and wasteful young lad! After all, thats how parents are! And it wasnt until today when Lu Xiaobu stood up that he suddenly realized the difference, Xiaobu had truly grown up! The eagle had grown, ready to fly on its own! "Dad, just say it, why do you have to single me out with an especially?!" Lu Wenhao pouted, slightly disgruntled. But his hand remained on Lu Xiaobus shoulder, patting him vigorously: "Youre so sturdy now! What elixir have you been eating?! Did you save any for your second brother?" The curvature of Lu Xiaobus mouth remained uplifted. The feeling of being acknowledged by family was very comforting! The familys pillar, huh? He liked this title! Liang Lan and the others, watching this scene, all stepped aside. This moment was for Lu Xiaobu to enjoy alone. ... Finally, after two days, The lavish and lively wedding began! Lu Xiaobu was so excited he couldnt sleep all night and got up early! "Sister Lan, are the cars all ready?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Theyre ready." Liang Lan smiled and said, today the Young Master was truly happy, this was the eighth time he had asked her! "And have you contacted the hotel?" Lu Xiaobu confirmed again! "Done!" Liang Lan nodded again. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Thats right, youre reliable, Im just too excited!" Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands together. Some might not understand, saying its not you, Lu Xiaobu, whos getting married, why are you so excited? But youve forgotten why Lu Hongbin never dated in the first place! It was for this family, for Lu Xiaobu! So tell me, with such an elder brother now getting married, settling down, How could Lu Xiaobu not be excited, how could he not be thrilled!? He swore, regardless of whatever difficulties today, he would deal with them personally! The wedding must be the best! Chapter 246 - 245: Do You Really Not Know Him? [5th Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 246: Chapter 245: Do You Really Not Know Him? [5th Update, Please Subscribe]As the voice came, those greedy relatives quickly gathered at the door, craning their necks to look down. Suddenly! That luxurious, no, rather, an incredibly lavish fleet of cars appeared before their eyes! Although they had heard that this family was wealthy, their concept of wealth was still stuck on the so-called millionaires and billionaires. So, this scene literally shocked them silly. "No way, this fleet... this, this... this is too luxurious!" "Man, I looked it up, guess how much these cars are worth?" "How much?" "Three hundred million, three hundred million!" "Sss!" The people around them gasped collectively. "Three hundred million, I originally guessed that the other party would be a billionaire, maybe having one or two billion, but their fleet alone is worth three hundred million!" "Thats terrifying! These are the real rich!" "How lucky is Lin Shu, to find such a diamond bachelor. Why cant I meet one!" "Quick, look, people are coming out of the cars." "..." Upon seeing this, the relatives quickly moved back, a crowd of people blocking the door. Well, they previously thought that a few thousand yuan in a red envelope would be enough to open the door. Now? Forget about it without at least ten thousand. Lins parents watched this scene, finding it a bit ridiculous yet amusing. Their relatives, really! Its their daughters wedding, yet these people are even more excited than them! However, it does look indeed lively. Lifes big events should be lively and bustling!!! "Uncle, Auntie, Lin Shu, we are here." Lu Hongbin happily stood at the doorway calling inside. "En." Lins parents nodded in satisfaction. Last time the Lu family came, Lu Hongbin, Lus father, and Lu Wenhao were all present, and the whole family seemed like good people. Both of their gazes gradually turned towards Lu Xiaobu, who they were meeting for the first time. Honestly. The first impression wasnt too great. Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He seemed a bit like a nouveau riche, quite different from the refined demeanor of Lu Hongbin and others! Thats because... "Come on, come on, dont block the door, go and grab some money!" Lu Xiaobu, holding rolls of cash prepared in advance, tossed them one by one into the house! Rich in tuhao (nouveau riche) spirit! Even Lins parents felt as if they were watching monkeys being fed in a zoo! Extremely awkward And these monkeys... ahem, these relatives completely didnt mind, each one of them laughing cheerfully with their molars showing! Real gold and silver! Just the kind they love! "Thanks to Young Master Lu, everyone, open the door." A relative shouted loudly, having already begun collecting money from the ground! Picking up money, you know, can be addictive! Especially not just picking up bill by bill, but rolling by rolling, its even more gratifying! The first line of defense successfully breached! The door was opened! "Uncle, Auntie, Ive come to pick up Lin Shu." Lu Hongbin walked up to Lins parents and said respectfully. "En." Lins father nodded, then looked at Lu Xiaobu: "This must be the younger brother we havent met, Lu Xiaobu, right?" "Thats right, this is my brother, Lu Xiaobu." Lu Wenhao reached out and patted Lu Xiaobus shoulder, saying. "So, can I ask you a few questions, Lu Xiaobu?" Father Lin finally revealed his purpose, appearing as if he was testing someone. "Uh..." The three Lu brothers all felt a bit confused. What the hell? It was clearly the eldest brother getting married, so why test Lu Xiaobu?! What does Lu Xiaobu have to do with this... oh, wait, definitely related, but why test now! "Oh, dont get me wrong, we wont use this question to stop anything, were not that kind of people." Father Lin and Mother Lin also knew that this could easily cause misunderstandings and immediately explained: "Hongbin, you can go pick up Shushu now, we absolutely wont stop you. Its really just asking." The reason they made this seemingly ridiculous and somewhat absurd acttesting the younger brother-in-law at the elder brothers weddingwas to genuinely ensure Lin Shu wouldnt be bullied! After all, they had never really interacted with such prominent families before and felt quite uneasy! Of course, they really didnt want to back out. Rather, if Lu Xiaobu turned out to not be very good, like having a temper or being prone to starting fights, etc. They would advise Lu Hongbin and Lin Shu to buy their own house separately. So that in case of conflicts, Lin Shu wouldnt be bullied! Pitiful the hearts of parents worldwide, this request isnt too much, right? "Big brother, you go pick up sister-in-law. Ill listen to uncle and aunts teachings." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, decisively! Since there was a test, then lets have the test! "Alright!" Lu Hongbin was also somewhat confused about what Father Lin and Mother Lin were really up to! "Xiaobu, were just chatting casually, dont mind." Seeing that Lu Hongbin had left, Father Lin and Mother Lin quickly said to Xiaobu. "Its alright, you can ask." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand casually and said. At this moment, an invisible gap became apparent! When Lu Hongbin was around, no matter how poor Father Lin and Mother Lin were and no matter how rich Lu Hongbin was, they spoke with confidence. After all, at that time, they were Lin Shus parents! However, now that Lu Hongbin was gone and facing Lu Xiaobu, that confidence suddenly disappeared. Although they were the ones asking the questions, it ended up looking as if Lu Xiaobu was the judge, somewhat tremulously! "So, are you studying or working?" Mother Lin asked quietly. "Studying. Imperial Film Academy, freshman. Lin Shu sister-in-law should know this; she was the class teacher when I graduated." Lu Xiaobu replied fluently. Father Lin and Mother Lin exchanged glances and nodded silently. Studying, especially at a university like Emperor Electric, was indeed very reassuring. "So do you have an income now, or..." Father Lin continued to ask. He had also checked Lu Xiaobus background before, but the information showed... wasnt very good. Not studious and wasteful, those were his tags! Of course, they were soon to be family, and they wouldnt base their opinions on rumors. However, it was still something to inquire about. "Not bad, I do have some income." Lu Xiaobu nodded and modestly said: "Its just that I spend quite quickly; I dont really save much money." "Alright." Father Lin and Mother Lin nodded. Thats good enough, as long as they have their own income, no matter how much, it should reduce conflicts over money in daily life. After all, they knew their daughters personality well, too managing and overly concerned. Its always like this on daily basis, although well-intentioned, being managed doesnt always feel great! Especially for these young masters who are used to spending generously, they definitely dont like to be controlled! So, the less conflicts, the better! Watching the three chat on the side, Father Lin and Mother Lin kept questioning Lu Xiaobu. Beside them, Lu Wenhao couldnt help but finally blurted out, "Uncle and Auntie, do you really not know who our Xiaobu is!?" Chapter 248 - 247 Orders Lu Xiaobu [2nd Release, Subscription Requested] Chapter 248: Chapter 247 Orders Lu Xiaobu [2nd Release, Subscription Requested]A group of people were sitting in the car on their way to the airport. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Besides the bride and groom, all others, including Lu Xiaobu, were sitting in a Bentley in the back. After all, the Lamborghinis in front, being two-seaters, arent quite suitable for carrying passengers. Lins father and mother were also sitting in one of the Bentleys. With them was Lins fathers own younger brother, the most knowledgeable and experienced member of the Lin Family, Lin Tianlei, Lin Shus second uncle. This was specifically requested by Lins parents for Lin Tianlei to sit with them. "Tianlei, my heart keeps skipping a beat! How did Lu Hongbin come to fancy our Shushu." Lins father asked nervously. Although he knew the Lu family was wealthy, the sight of this incredibly luxurious fleet of cars, especially after hearing others mention that the fleet was worth three hundred million, still gave him a shock. "Whats there to fear! They have shown such sincerity, giving whatever is asked for, they even invited the CEO of Jueying Company, that really gives our family face! It seems they truly care for our Shushu, otherwise by just sending any random fleet, could you discern the good from the bad?" Lin Tianlei waved dismissively as he spoke. He was no foolish rascal. Both for Lin Shus personal happiness and from an economic standpoint, he was all in favor! "Thats also true." Hearing his own brothers words, Lins father also felt relieved. "Tianlei, you still need to coach us! After all, they have a big family and great business, we come from a humble background and arent familiar with the proper etiquettes; itd be embarrassing if we made a fool of ourselves." Lins mother expressed her concerns at this time. "Yes, thats true indeed. Youve been out and about longer, seen more of the world, teach us the etiquette, it would also support Shushu." Lins father also quickly nodded in agreement. "Etiquette?" Lin Tianlei frowned, then let out a wry smile: "Big brother, although Ive been out for long, I havent really interacted with such people! I dont know their etiquette either." "How shall we cope then? We are after all from the brides side, if we appear too inferior, it wouldnt look good on Shushu." Lins mother, deeply concerned for her daughter, asked worriedly. The Lu family members are all nice, but if guests start gossiping, it hurts. Like being said to be climbing up the social ladder, of mismatched social status, shameless, etc. Could make them, especially Lin Shu, lose all face! "Lets do this," Lin Tianlei pondered and said: "Although we may not understand the etiquette, we can try to elevate our demeanor to avoid mockery." "What do you mean?" Lins father and mother asked. "Nothing much but to find someone to support our stature - someone to endorse us," Lin Tianlei came up with an idea: "Hong Bin is our son-in-law, so hes certainly out of question." "The second child of the Lu family, also a CEO of a company, isnt suitable for endorsing us either." "So the only option left is Lu Xiaobu. Although he is a national top scholar, he is the weakest in the Lu family!" Lin Tianleis words were difficult for him. For an ordinary family, having a top scholar in the national exams is an immense pride. But for the Lu family, a national top scholar is considered the weakest link! "This... using their child to prop us up, isnt that a bit despicable." Hearing this, Lins father felt uncomfortable. "Then forget it, to be honest, I dont feel good about it either." Lin Tianlei let out a wry smile. "Tianlei, dont mind your brother, keep talking," Lins mother said straightforwardly, then glared at Lins father irritably: "Hes just confused, cant even distinguish between daughter and Lu Xiaobu!" "Well, its actually quite simple, just act a bit more authoritative, maybe speak in a stronger tone, direct Lu Xiaobu to do some chores! For instance, have Lu Xiaobu toast to you and so on." Lin Tianlei shared his thoughts. "Alright, lets do that." Lins mother agreed without hesitation. Then she looked at Lins father. "Alright!" Lins father clenched his teeth: "For my daughter, Ill be a bit despicable!" ... They made their way to the airport and boarded a private plane. The people from the Lin family were all in a daze. "Is this a private plane?" Lins father swallowed nervously as he spoke. "Are we still underestimating the Lu family?" Mother Lin carefully reached out and touched the walls of the airplane, expressing her disbelief. "Maybe we should call off our plan." Lin Tianlei was also very nervous: "After all, the gap is too big." "No way!" Mother Lin suddenly became anxious: "The more it is like this, the more we have to go through with it. We absolutely cant let Shushu be mistreated." "The plan remains the same, but we need to control the extent, dont go too far." Father Lin also gritted his teeth: "At worst, after the wedding is over, Ill personally go and apologize to them!" Just like that, the appearance of the private plane. It further solidified the Lin familys plan to use Lu Xiaobu to uphold their dignity. After getting off the plane. The luxury convoy was just as extravagant, exactly like the other one. Indeed, Liang Lan, to avoid some peoples nitpicking, directly bought two sets! All the way forward. Destination reached. Everyone got off the car lively and headed for the hotel. Lu Xiaobu was still excited, personally handing out cigarettes and candies. Zhang Meng and Li Jin hustled to help, but Lu Xiaobu didnt let them! Liang Lan and Zhang Meng followed Lu Xiaobu while chatting. "Its been a long time since Ive seen the Young Master this excited." Liang Lan took some candies from her pocket and handed them to a child nearby, casually patting the childs head. "Yes, its rare to see such a lazy Young Master actively doing work!" Zhang Meng also sighed. "Oh, what did you say?" Liang Lan raised her eyebrows, teasingly said: "Youre saying the Young Master is lazy?!" "No!" Zhang Meng quickly denied. Ah, seeing the Young Master so happy, he also spoke without thinking. "Just kidding." Liang Lan covered her mouth with a light laugh, her eyes still fixed on Lu Xiaobu: "If the Young Master could be this happy every day, that would be great." "Yes!" Zhang Meng also nodded. And at this moment. A voice with a semi-forceful tone suddenly came over: "Xiaobu, come, give me a pack of cigarettes." It was Lin Tianlei led by Father Lin and Mother Lin! "Alright." Lu Xiaobu immediately nodded happily. He didnt mind Lin Tianleis tone; after all, this was his sister-in-laws elder, and as the junior, it was normal for them to speak more forcefully. However! He didnt mind! But someone did! Zhang Meng and Liang Lans expressions instantly drooped. In their hearts, no one was allowed to command the Young Master, not even a semi-command! Not just them, at the same time, Zhang Meng, Liang Lan, Little Pepper, Wu Qianmin, Su Luoxue, Li Xide, and Li Jins gazes all instantaneously shot over. Lin Tianlei, looking at the gentle Lu Xiaobu in front of him, felt somewhat guilty. However, he also weighed in his mind whether he should speak with an even stronger tone! Then! In an instant! eyes locked onto him like sharp swords! Whoosh! It was as if a floodgate had been opened behind Lin Tianlei. In just a moment, his clothes were soaked through! His face turned pale, he was actually somewhat dehydrated! He looked at the cigarette in front of him, suddenly scared silly, and didnt dare to take it! Too terrifying!!! What did I do?! Chapter 250 - 249 Chapter 250: 249"Zhang Benhu, come in!" A spirited shout came through. No titles, no declarations of status. But it made all the guests of Lu Hongbin shiver and stand up! Even those with impressive martial arts skills are afraid of a kitchen knife. Zhang Benhu is different from them! Even if they could crush Zhang Benhu in terms of assets, when has Zhang Benhu ever needed to look at assets! Then! They heard an exasperated voice. "Didnt I tell you not to shout, stop shouting, what on earth are you yelling for!" Zhang Benhus impatient voice came through. Young Master Bu certainly did not want their relationship to be exposed. He was just here to deliver a gift and then leave! For this, he didnt even bring anyone with him, nor did he drive; he just strolled over! Now, look what happened! Sure enough. He looked up and saw Xiaobus displeased face. "Umm... well... actually..." Zhang Benhu rubbed his hands, wanting to explain. "Scram, scram, scram." Xiaobu couldnt be bothered with him and said to him alone. "Oh, oh, oh!" Zhang Benhu wiped off the cold sweat, put down the gift, and bolted! Better leave quickly; almost messed up Young Master Bus plan! "Do you believe me if I say he was just dropping by for a visit?" Xiaobu turned back to everyone and spread his hands. "Believe, believe, believe!" The business crowd bobbed their heads like pounding garlic. No worries, you dont have to care whether we believe or not. sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If you say hes not Zhang Benhu, but a manure picker, well still believe you! Doing business is all about pleasing everyone. They each have some connections with these people, let alone with the Lu Family, the wealthiest family in Shimen. Knowing a Zhang Benhu is not a big deal! They didnt hear Xiaobu tell Zhang Benhu to scram; they thought Zhang Benhu left on his own after setting the gift down! "Whats going on here?" The relatives from the Lin Family were all puzzled. They didnt understand why all those bosses stood up one after another. Could it be that the man who arrived without bodyguards and luxury cars was some VIP?! They couldnt help but look towards Lin Tianlei. At that moment, Lin Tianlei was sweating like a waterfall again. His body kept shivering uncontrollably. "Tian Lei, whats wrong with you?" asked Lins father, puzzled. "That man... that... that person is Zhang Benhu!" Lin Tianlei swallowed hard, looked around cautiously, pointed to the ground, and then gave a thumbs-up: "Hes that one!" "Whew!" The Lin Family members were not fools. They immediately understood! In an instant, a chill breeze blew, causing everyone to feel a shiver down their spine! For ordinary people, what is the most terrifying? Clearly, its these bloodstained types that are the scariest! And just now! A dragon head, had he come here?! And was he about to enter?! What was he here for?! Was he looking for trouble?! Could it be that there would be bloodshed today?! Everyone started to panic. Lins father and mother were also sweating profuselywhat? Does the Lu Family have a grudge with such people?! No way, were they still supposed to marry Shushu into the family?! "Dont be afraid, dont be scared!" Lin Tianlei saw panic in their eyes and tried to calm himself to reassure everyone: "Its okay, hes already left, and dont forget, Zhang Benhu didnt even enter the house! And he brought a gift! Hes definitely not an enemy!" Lin Tianleis analysis was believed by the Lin side. Only Lins father and mother, due to concerns about Lin Shus future, were still somewhat distrustful and even thought of worse possible scenarios: "Its not like in the movies where inside is a severed head or something, right!" "It shouldnt be... right?" Lin Tianleis voice came through, somewhat uncertain. He hadnt considered it before, but now that Lins father and mother brought it up, a trace of doubt and fear crept into his heart. Although it was just a hint, it indeed existed! Hong Bin panicked, and those Lin Family guests were even more panicked. Their legs turned to jelly, their hearts pounding wildly! No way, could it be that a scene typically found only in movies was about to become reality?! That was just too terrifying! Li Jin, who was accompanying the drinking at the side, sighed upon hearing their conversation; he felt a mix of annoyance and amusement. Young Master, you all orchestrated this, and now youre actually afraid of a Zhang Benhu! I really dont know where you get your courage from. He shook his head and went over to Xiaobu to report the situation. "Speechless!" Xiaobu rolled his eyes; the imaginations of these people were just too wild! So, he walked to the door, picked up the gift that Zhang Benhu had sent over, and came back in: "Zhang Benhu sent a box, should be a gift, I dont understand it either, lets all take a look together." The businesspeople were all startled. Xiaobu doesnt understand? Is understanding really necessary? Just looking at how scared Zhang Benhu was of you, its obvious its not fake! But of course, they wouldnt dare to express these thoughts and only agreed hastily: "Sure, sure, sure!" When the Lin Family people heard this, they too hurriedly looked over, wanting to verify if it was the answer they had in mind! Xiaobu held the box, deliberately tilting it toward the Lin Family side a bit so they could have a clear view. However, at this moment, Li Jins eyes suddenly rolled, and he whispered a few words to Zhang Meng and Liang Lan along with a few others. Then... They all snickered wickedly. Immediately, they all lined up behind Xiaobu, one by one. Each of them raised their right hand, their fingers shaped like a knife, and then placed it below their own neck. With this gesture Hiss! The Lin Family guests gasped as they saw their synchronized action! What kind of gesture was this? It was the gesture of beheading! That terrible speculation arose in their hearts again! It couldnt be, really it couldnt be! That thing, right?! Please, no! Dont! Help! We came here for a wedding! Seeing their reaction! Zhang Meng and the others laughed so hard, but they didnt dare let Xiaobu find out, so they bent over in agony, trying to contain their laughter! So much for ordering Young Master Xiaobu around, for your arrogance! Scare you to death! Theyve all been corrupted by Xiaobu! "Huh?" Xiaobu, seeing the reaction of the Lin Family people, was totally bewildered! Whats happening?! What are you all so scared of?! He hurriedly opened the box, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding! The Lin Family people, on instinct, all closed their eyes tightly, trembling with fear. What appeared in the box, however, were a pair of crystal-clear Jade Bracelets. The bracelets were entirely emerald green, without a speck of impurity. Picked up and clinked together, they made a crisp tinkling sound, which under the sunlight seemed even more translucent. "Hiss!" At this moment, the businesspeople all gasped in shock. "This pair of bracelets..." "Natural, full green, glass-type Jade Bracelets, these must be worth tens of millions," Boss Li smacked his lips and said. "More than that, look how completely green they are without any impurities, probably cant get them for less than twenty million," another CEO shook his head. "Wait, I remember now, isnt this the pair that was auctioned at the Christies auction in Hong Kong Island two months ago?" a jewelry store owner suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed. "Chunman Building? The pride of Lao Fengxiang, which sold for 50 million Hong Kong Dollars, the Chunman Building? It was actually bought by Zhang Benhu?!" As green as spring, with a ringing that fills the building, it really is Chunman Building! The tycoons were all astounded. It appeared that Zhang Benhus relationship with the Lu Family was definitely not as simple as it seemed. Otherwise, why would Zhang Benhu spend such an enormous sum, and even purchase it two months in advance? And at this moment. The Lin Family people dared to slowly open their eyes! Chapter 251 - 250: That Bastard is Here [Extra for the Spitting Rewards, 5th Update] Chapter 251: Chapter 250: That Bastard is Here [Extra for the Spitting Rewards, 5th Update]Lin Tianlei was the first to open his eyes. He saw the jade bracelets and heaved a sigh of relief! He knew it, it couldnt be! "Quick, take a look! Such beautiful jade bracelets, not what you were all thinking!" Lin Tianlei was visibly embarrassed. When the Lin family members heard Lin Tianleis words, they also opened their eyes one after another. "So its not that!" "That scared me to death, I thought it was that thing!" "Looks like they really did come to give a gift!" "..." Father Lin and Mother Lin were particularly embarrassed. This whole affair was supposed to elevate the tone of the event. In the end, it had turned completely into a joke! However, what comforted him was that none of the bigshots sneered or laughed. It seemed the Lu familys reputation was still very high. These wealthy individuals couldnt hear their inner thoughts; if they could, they would have to tell them: its the face of the Lu family indeed, but more so, its the face of the big boss of the Lu familyLu Xiaobu! With Lu Xiaobu standing there, who would dare to laugh at you?! You are all akin to royalty! And then, a voice came through again! "Principal Li from the Imperial Film Academy has arrived." With the announcement, the cheerful Principal Li, carrying a small gift, walked in. "Chief, you have arrived." Lu Xiaobu nodded and cheerfully said. "Me!" Principal Lis smile instantly froze. Chief?! Chief Eunuch?! Again with Chief?! The title just wont do, will it?! Should I take off my pants to show you...pah, what nonsense am I saying! "Principal, Principal, just joking." Lu Xiaobu immediately changed the title he used. Principal Li rolled his eyes and handed the gift to someone at the door: "Im just a poor man, dont expect me to bring anything too expensive, just a little token of appreciation." "Alright then, please take a seat." Lu Xiaobu said with a smile. Principal Li walked into the hall. The wealthy businessmen immediately stood up to greet him. "Good to see you, Principal Li." "Principal Li has personally come too!" "Later, we should have a drink or two." "..." Dont think a principal is nothing special; not all principals are the same. As businesspeople, its very normal to look for endorsers. And for endorsements, you need celebrities. Good celebrities, however, are what everyone is after! Yet, if you build a good relationship with the principal of Emperor Electric, it would save a lot of trouble when looking to hire an endorser! Its undeniable, Lu Xiaobu really has a way with both the high and low, hes amazing! Off the charts!!! On the Lin familys side, everyone was dumbfounded. Their faces were flushed with excitement! For them, who truly believed from the bottom of their hearts in the idea that knowledge changes fate, and the college entrance exam alters ones destiny... Knowing a university professor was enough to boast about for a lifetime! Now, a university principal had come, and not just any but the well-known principal of the Imperial Electric! They could boast for two lifetimes! They were so excited they wanted to go forward and introduce themselves, yet they were incredibly shy and hesitant! Father Lin and Mother Lin were particularly excited. The fact that they unconditionally trusted Lin Shu to become a teacher and previously heard that Lu Xiaobu was the national top scholar showed just how much they admire those with knowledge! Now a university principal was in front of them, they almost forgot their previous fear of Zhang Benhu! Only Lin Tianlei was feeling uncertain! Because! He noticed something! That both Zhang Benhu and Principal Li, upon their arrival, were greeted by Lu Xiaobu. You should know this is Lu Hongbins wedding! Logically, it should be Lu Hongbin himself doing the welcoming as the most respectful act. However! It was, contrary to their expectation, the perceived weakest of the Lu family, Lu Xiaobu, who was doing the welcoming! And those being welcomed showed not the slightest displeasure. What did this imply?! A terrifying answer slowly started to form in his mind! And here they were, still guessing. "Young Master Lin has arrived!" Another shout came from the door! This time the shout was louder than the previous two, even with a heart-wrenching quality to it. Its clear just how much effort this guy put into yelling! "Young Master Lin? That kid? Why is he here?" Lu Xiaobu curled his lips and rolled his eyes! As youve probably guessed, this over-the-top fellow is none other than one of the Four Young Masters of Imperial C Lin Feng! Then! Suddenly, the place fell silent. Because Lu Xiaobu actually stood still and did not move! Just quietly waiting. The tycoons were all stunnedLu Xiaobu, thats Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin! Zhang Benhu took it, Principal Li took it! And you leave Young Master Lin hanging there, what the hell do you think youre doing?! "Damn it, Lu Xiaobu, you really ignoring me?!" Lin Feng stormed in, infuriated and beside himself! What the heck?! Am I, Lin Feng, not worth being welcomed? Today is your Lu Familys big happy day! "Welcome you and your nonsense?" Lu Xiaobu asked with half-lidded eyes: "Why the hell should I welcome you!" "You!" Lin Feng was so angry he trembled; this Lu Xiaobu was such a bastard: "Okay, youre ruthless!" "Talk business if you have any; if not, get lost!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand as if he was shooing a fly. This Lin Feng was a real jerk; every encounter with him meant trouble! Lu Xiaobu didnt want Lin Feng to ruin the wedding! Seeing Lu Xiaobus gesture, a bunch of tycoons were dumbfounded! Oh my God! Has Lu Xiaobu gone mad?! This is Lin Feng, Young Master Lin! Not just any Zhang Benhu or Principal Li, but one of the Four Young Masters of Imperial, Lin Feng! So many people cant even dream of meeting him once! And now youre actually sending him away?! Have you lost your mind?! If Young Master Lin gets angry, can your Lu Family still have a good time?! However! What astonished them even more was this. "You tell me to leave, but now I wont!" Lin Feng began to act shamelessly: "Its your familys wedding today, do you dare to really send me away?!" "Hey, have you no shame at all?!" S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu cursed disgustingly. Hearing this, the tycoons all started to shiver! Lu Xiaobu, please shut up! It was already too much to send someone away, and now youre cursing at them too! Be careful of bringing calamity upon yourself! However! The thing they feared did not happen! Their jaws dropped even further. "Im just following your lead, Im letting loose!" Lin Feng said with immense pride. After losing to Lu Xiaobu three times in major contests and countless times in minor ones, Finally, he started to gravitate towards Lu Xiaobu without even realizing it! Acting shamelessly was the first tactic he learned. "Fine then, Ill spread the word that the great Young Master Lin of the Lin Family has resorted to shamelessness, bullying just a commoner!" Lu Xiaobu snorted coldly, threateningly. Today was his big brothers wedding, so Lin Feng better get lost! "Go ahead and spread the word! If you have the guts, just do it. Im not afraid; whoever Im dealing with will have to beg, one by one!" Lin Feng scoffed dismissively, speaking shamelessly. He had the status to make such a statement! Then he looked towards the others: "Did you see me here today?" "No, no, no!" The wealthy heads shook like a rattle-drum. Speak the truth and youre a fool! "See?" Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders, brimming with pride! Really, this was the first time he realized just how great it felt to be shameless?! Especially seeing Lu Xiaobu looking frustrated; it was exhilarating to the point of exploding! Its a disaster, theyve picked up bad habits from Lu Xiaobu! The distinguished Young Master of Imperial has eventually not escaped the poisonous hands of Lu Xiaobu! Just like Tian Jilan, Fierce Tiger War God, and the once pure-hearted, theyve all gone bad! "Damn it!" Lu Xiaobu cursed under his breath: "Fine, you can stay only if you leave your gift; without a gift, just get out!" He really didnt want this Lin Feng to stay! Otherwise, it would surely be one problem after another! Just think about it, has there ever been peace whenever Lin Feng is around? No, never once! Instead, each time its been chaotic beyond measure! Chapter 252 - 251 A Father’s Backbone [1st Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 252: Chapter 251 A Fathers Backbone [1st Update, Please Subscribe]"Gift? What gift do you want? Ill go buy it now." Lin Feng spread his hands, continued to play the rascal, and even walked directly into the hall. Lu Xiaobu had a headache; this Lin Feng used to care about face and wouldnt act out of line. Now look, hes learned to play rascal, and thats even harder to deal with! Lin Feng looked around the hall, then frowned and said with some deliberation to the Lin Family members, "Who are these people? They cant be your servants, can they? Why are they here?" "Watch your damn mouth, and if you spout nonsense again, I will fall out with you!" Lu Xiaobus face darkened: "Thats my sister-in-laws family." "Alright, alright, what are you getting worked up for, its not like youre the one getting married." Lin Feng rolled his eyes: "Your sister-in-law is a fairy, right?! Otherwise, with the Lu Familys standards, theres no need to do this Cinderella act. How about this, you say a good word for me, and any of the Imperial families daughters, your brother can pick whomever he likes, hows that?" From the moment Lin Feng came in, he and Lu Xiaobu had taken over the entire scene, and no one else but them dared to speak! Even todays protagonist, Lu Hongbin, was the same! And the people from the Lin Family were shivering with fear! Although they didnt know who Lin Feng was, when they saw those big shots from the business world, after seeing him acting just like quails like they did before, didnt they have a clue?! Even Principal Li, whom they most admired and thought of as the most virtuous and esteemed, was bowing his head! Wasnt the terrifying identity of this man obvious?! The Lu Family is too terrifying! Each visitor is more terrifying than the last! However, at this time! Someone spoke up! "My daughter is the best!" Lins father suddenly stood up, full of rage! At that moment, he was just a father! Why did he stoop so low to pressure Lu Xiaobu previously if not to avoid idle gossip? Now its great, someone actually dares to say these words in front of him on this joyous day! He cannot tolerate it! Absolutely cannot tolerate it! "Hey, youre getting worked up?" Lin Feng chuckled: "To put it unpleasantly, what are you?! Saying that youre climbing up to the Lu Familys level is already giving you face!" "Lin Feng!" Lu Xiaobu roared: "Are you looking for trouble today?! Zhang Meng! Li Jin!" Why had he endured for so long? Isnt it just so that the wedding could proceed smoothly and joyfully? Now great, Lin Feng showed up and started causing trouble! "Yes!" Zhang Meng and Li Jin immediately took orders! "Wait a sec! Lu Xiaobu, think this through, today is your brothers wedding, and Im here to congratulate. If you lay a hand on me, your wedding probably wont proceed smoothly, right?" Lin Feng stood in place, looking fearless: "This uncle said his daughter is the best, right! Ill say three sentences, and after that, I absolutely wont say anything more! What do you think?" "No way!" Lu Xiaobu knew he absolutely couldnt give Lin Feng a chance, for Lin Fengs methods were not something ordinary people could bear! "Then lets play slowly." Lin Feng shrugged, extremely smug! This was the first time, the first time he had gotten the upper hand over Lu Xiaobu! This wedding was very important to Lu Xiaobu, but to him, it didnt matter at all. Now, he just wanted to mess up this wedding and thoroughly defeat Lu Xiaobu once! "Wait a sec, you just want to hear me give in, right? I will concede, you get lost!" Lu Xiaobus gaze was icy. "Alright!" Lin Feng rejoiced, this was the closest he had been to victory: "As long as you beg me, not only will I not cause trouble, but I will also help you make it splendid! Although its already pretty splendid as it is!" "Okay!" Lu Xiaobus eyes were fixed on Lin Feng! "Young Master!" Zhang Meng and Li Jin became anxious! "Young Master!" "Xiaobu!" "Boss!" All four girls became anxious too! No one dared to even say a harsh word to Young Master Bu usually. Now great, commands had been given out, and he had been ordered around! And now he was actually supposed to kowtow to someone?! What goddamn joke is this?! This is the wedding! They felt like killing someone! "Xiaobu!" Lu Hongbin was also anxious: "This..." "Zhang Meng, take my older brother to the back hall!" Lu Xiaobu gave the order. He knew what Lu Hongbin wanted to say. But today, anyone can say they dont want this wedding to happen, but he alone cannot! "Yes!" Zhang Meng, with a stern face, quickly covered Lu Hongbins mouth and dragged him to the back hall! "Ready? Im going to mercilessly snatch your first time!" Lin Feng laughed heartily, feeling immensely relaxed! This feeling, you all will never understand! Hearing Lu Xiaobu say the word please is more satisfying than having millions kneel before him! Lu Xiaobu took a deep breath: "I..." And at this time! "Xiaobu, wait a sec, let him speak!" Lins father, with red eyes, stood there saying, and at that moment his spine was as erect as ever, the spine of a father. "You dare to rush me!?" Lin Feng was eagerly waiting for Lu Xiaobu to say the word please! And then! He was interrupted by this old man! How could he endure this? "Lin Feng!" Lu Xiaobu shouted. "Shut up! I dont want to hear from you right now, I just want to show this uncle the difference in our status!" Lin Feng lost his temper, his mouth firing off like a machine gun: "Who the hell do you think your family is!? Coming here to show off and order Xiaobu around, even I dont get that kind of treatment!" Talking about this made him furious! Or rather, jealous! Dont ask how he knew about it, as Young Master Lin, if he couldnt even figure out this much, he really would have been wasting his time! "Do you even know who Lu Xiaobu is? Huh! Hes a rival recognized by me, Lin Feng!" "Hes the one who pushed the Lu Family to where it is now!" "Think Shadow Power was created by Lu Wenhao and Li Xide? Bullshit! Ask those two who they were actually working for!" "And not to mention, even the cola on your table was something that Lu Xiaobu, who you ordered around, created!" "Lu Xiaobu is currently ranked 29th on the Third Level Rich List! Do you know what that means?" "A net worth of over seven billion! Seven billion, do you get it?! Thats enough to buy your entire family a one-way ticket to the eighteenth level of Hell!" "Hes been biting his tongue for his big brother, and what? You guys are still asking for more?!" "Let me tell you, today I, Lin Feng, will lay it straight!" "Love or not, take it or leave!" "Lu Xiaobus big brother can pick any bride he wants in Imperial, even throughout the whole country, and I, Lin Feng, will personally play matchmaker!" Lin Feng had been holding back these words for a long time, and now seizing the opportunity, he said it all in the shortest time possible! Lu Xiaobu couldnt stop him! To be honest, for someone like Lin Feng to say such things, using such low methods, was really too low! But now, he didnt care! He just wanted to see the looks on these peoples faces as their pitiful self-esteem was crushed! The Lin Family members listened to his tirade. Their faces turned ashen, their minds roared like thunder! What?! Shadow Power was Lu Xiaobus doing, and Lu Wenhao and Li Xide were just working for him?! The cola was Lu Xiaobus business too?! They knew about the Third Level Rich List, but had no idea Xiaobu had made it onto the list?! Seven billion! How terrifying a figure was that?! They could never earn even a fraction of it in their lifetimes! Lin Fengs parents and Lin Tianlei all became completely petrified! The arrogance from before, gone! They finally realized where they had gone wrong! Xiaobu wasnt the weakest in the family, but the strongest! They truly overestimated themselves! How foolish they were! They also remembered what Lu Wenhao said during the wedding robbery. It turned out, that was what Wenhao had intended to say to them back then. But it was their ignorance that ruined them! However, amidst the shock, a feeling of being moved involuntarily rose up! Even though they had been ridiculous, unreasonable, even excessive! Lu Xiaobu had been accommodating them all along, not even giving them a blaming look! "Lin Feng! Are you prepared to fight to the death with me today?" Lu Xiaobu trembled with anger. Ruin his brothers wedding?! That was the one thing he couldnt bear! Couldnt! "Fight to the death? No! It wont come to that!" Lin Feng spread his hands, "Whats there to fear?! Why worry about single blades of grass when the worlds full of open fields? If your big brother really has to get married right now, Ill immediately call someone over, and I guarantee that this will not leak out! This time, I win!!! Hahaha!" He was smug in his heart! He won! Hahaha! As long as this ignorant family left the wedding, he would be the complete winner! He would have utterly won over Lu Xiaobu this time! So happy! However! "No, youve lost! Were not leaving." Lin Tianleis father straightened up his bent spine, his eyes once again clear. "What? Got greedy for money?" Lin Feng darkened in mood, feeling that these people were really ungrateful! "No, its not that! Maybe my words wont be convincing, but I truly mean this!" Lin Tianleis father shook his head and stepped forward, looking at Lu Xiaobu: "Xiaobu, it was completely due to our pride that we made a mess before, and I would like to apologize to you for that!" With that, Lin Tianleis father bowed deeply, and his mother followed suit. "What are you doing?! Get up!" Lu Xiaobu hurriedly tried to help them up, how could his brothers future in-laws bow to him like this?! "Its okay, this bow comes without any titles, its just a pure apology!" Lin Tianleis father stood up straight again and continued: "Dont worry, we wont be calling off the engagement! Weve seen clearly, Hongbin, and how genuine you all are towards Shushu!" "We also know that perhaps in terms of status, were really reaching for higher branches! But today, in front of everyone here, let me say this: I, my family, will absolutely not touch a cent of Hongbins nor your money!" With those words, Lin Tianleis mother took his hand, showing full support! "You!" sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu was flustered, what kind of talk was that?! "No, I was too presumptuous, and still called you Xiaobu! Xiaobu, really, there is no other meaning to my words." Lin Tianleis fathers eyes sincerely met Lu Xiaobus, then he abruptly turned, looking at Lin Feng. "Its for his sake! Let him lose! Although I dont know what your relationship is! But you endure for our sake, I can also make a promise for you, after all, starting today, we are family!" With these words, the whole place was struck by thunder! Lin Feng actually got slapped in the face? Not by Lu Xiaobu! But by a common man! No, incorrect, by a father! Chapter 253 - 252: Look at My Expression [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 253: Chapter 252: Look at My Expression [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]Lin Fengs face looked pretty weird, even to the point of being painfully annoying. Whats the matter? Theres a ghost in your Lu Family, right? Everyone who enters your Lu family, whether its a person or a dog, dare to talk back to me, huh!? And you expect me to lose, do you even qualify? Out of everyone present, except for Lu Xiaobu... Who can make me lose?! Dare to make me lose?! Speaking of Lu Xiaobu. Do you think him stopping Mr. Lins words would touch anyone?! Haha! To tell the truth! The feeling Mr. Lins words gave him was just like "Dont bully the young and poor"! All just as annoying! He really didnt know whether to say Mr. Lin was an arrogant literary man or just plain mindless. Talking about not using the Lu familys money. An old man, still saying stuff like this? Your daughter has become my sister-in-law, do you still need to use the Lu familys money? There are plenty of people, rushing to give you money! But, these are the words he couldnt say. Just let it be! At least for now, things seem fine, it seems for a long time my brother doesnt need to worry about his wifes family anymore! Guess thats a pleasant surprise!! "Sister Lan, you take everyone to have a meal! I want to have a private chat with this jerk!" Lu Xiaobu arranged with a wave of his hand. "Yes." Liang Lan immediately replied. Everyone left, leaving only Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng. "I mean, you really can endure, people are crapping on your neck, and you still take it! Why couldnt you show some patience with me?" Lin Feng rolled his eyes, took out a Cuban cigar and handed it to Lu Xiaobu. "Thats because youre an idiot!" Lu Xiaobu bluntly insulted, caught the cigar and looked at it, then threw it back to Lin Feng: "Young master doesnt smoke this stuff, you light it up." "Hey! Me!" Lin Feng shivered with anger. People crap on your neck, you let them crap on mine, huh! Yet, though furious, he gestured to the butler at the doorway. The butler came in and began to prep the cigar. Trimming, preheating, lighting, placing... The butlers actions were incredibly graceful, almost an art form. "Young Master Lin, Young Master Lu." The butler handed over two cigars to them, then retreated again. "So, tell me why?" Lin Feng asked elegantly while puffing on his cigar: "Why do you tolerate so much?" "Do you mean I should have slapped them right there on their faces?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed. sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Nonsense, if it were me, Id definitely do that." Lin Feng nodded immediately. "Fine, then you go slap your dad and then come back and talk to me." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Youre being unreasonable! Can your big brothers in-laws even compare to your own dad?" Lin Feng exploded. "Thats why youre an idiot! Yeah, slapping them would feel good, but what then? Wedding canceled because of my action on the wedding day? Who would lose face, our Lu family or the Lin family? How is it different from slapping your own dads face?!" Lu Xiaobu said with rolling eyes. "Uh... seems so." Lin Feng thought it through carefully, his lips twitching as he nodded. He had never experienced such a situation. After all, at their level, weddings are held only between equal social standings. So, whether its calling off the wedding, both parties would look bad. But now its different, the gap between Lu family and Lin family is too big. Once called off, maybe Lin Family would just carry the name of being ungrateful, But the Lu family would be seen as outright bullies! Mud smeared on the pants - whether its shit or not, its still considered shit! "So, I was basically waiting until my brother got married, both of them in the bridal chamber, the deal sealed. Then, whatever happens, happens. But no, you had to turn it into an inspirational blockbuster! Now they said those words! Tell me, arent you baffled?!" Lu Xiaobu said helplessly. "Uh... damn! Youre brutal! At most, Id just slap him in the face on the spot, but here you are, waiting until his girl is practically part of your family before you strike! Youre literally making him lose chickens and smash eggs!" Lin Feng rolled his eyes. "Scheme my ass, were family." Lu Xiaobu retorted with a curl of his lip. "Hahaha! Look at my face, hahaha!" Lin Fengs face was full of disbelief! "Go, go, go." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, pulled up his pants, and squatted on the ground. "Dude, whats up with that pose?" Lin Fengs mouth twitched: "Smoking a cigar and not pairing it with red wine is one thing, but squatting on the ground?!" "Why dont you try it? It feels awesome." Lu Xiaobu squatted down and gestured for Lin Feng with a hooked finger. "No, no, no!" Lin Feng hastily refused, he would never do it. Then! He watched Lu Xiaobu enjoying himself... Hesitated... Maybe? Should I try? No one else is watching anyway. So! Lin Feng also squatted down with a cigar. Hey, honestly, its quite a unique experience. Lu Xiaobu looked at Lin Feng with a sidelong glance and burst into a string of scornful laughter: "Hahaha, look at my face, hahaha!" "Roll, roll, roll!" Lin Fengs face turned red, he was slapped in the face quite swiftly this time! They were bickering here. The old butler at the door was going mad! Oh my God! Both of you! You two are renowned, tremble-inducing figures! And yet? You wear Italian handmade clothes... Holding the most luxurious Cuban cigars... But squatting on the ground, smoking?! How many people are you trying to scare to death? He had an inexplicable feeling, should he persuade the master to keep Young Master Lin away from Lu Xiaobu! The influence is damn terrifying! To forcibly turn a high and mighty figure of Imperial, the eldest son of the Lin Family... Into... A person who resorts to lowly tricks, squatting on the ground smoking cigars! However! He hadnt even finished being shocked! Here comes the sucker punch! Because! Suddenly! Lu Xiaobu stood up with lightning-fast speed... Pulled out his phone... Opened the camera... Aimed at Lin Feng... Click! Suddenly! A frontal photo of Lin Feng squatting and smoking a cigar appeared on Lu Xiaobus phone! "Uh... fuck!" Lin Feng immediately threw the cigar on the ground and roared as he stood up: "Lu Xiaobu, you freaking tricked me again!" If this photo gets out, his reputation as the eldest son of the Lin Family would be completely ruined! "Come on, keep looking at my face! Hahaha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed loudly, immensely pleased: "For messing with me, lets see how you deal with this!" "Give me the photo!" Lin Fengs face was green! Damn it, this Lu Xiaobu is such a damn trickster! "Dont even think about it, Im keeping this photo to prevent you from messing with me every day!" Would Lu Xiaobu return the photo to Lin Feng? Dream on! Finally getting a hold on Lin Fengs weak spot, why would he return it without gaining enough advantage?! Chapter 255 - 254: Marriage Alliance... Pff, Social Gathering [1st Update, Subscribe Requested] Chapter 255: Chapter 254: Marriage Alliance... Pff, Social Gathering [1st Update, Subscribe Requested]Back to Emperor Electric. Lu Xiaobu continued to lead a leisurely life at school. But! Youth is always restless. After all, as the saying goes: Girls always think that being pretty is enough to find a boyfriend, but thats too superficial! They see us guys as too simple! In fact, once you hit junior year, youll realize any female will do! Any female! Will do! So! The three roommates just finished gaming online. "Boss, boss, take us to mingle... pah, to socialize!" The handsome Shan Yifei spoke with shining eyes. Ever since they found out about Lu Xiaobus identity, he automatically became the boss! "Yeah, yeah! The girls said they wont show up if youre not there!" The prairie man Gao Yun was also excited. "You guys are too superficial, dont even ask if Young Master Bu has the time?" The bespectacled Ni Lin pushed up his glasses and said. He looked refined! However, the reflection in his glasses was the glint of desire! "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu hesitated under the wolfish gazes of his three friends: "Alright, I probably wont be staying in the dorm tomorrow anyway, so Ill take you guys out for a blast!" Lin Fengs villa was almost finished with the renovation and ready to move in tomorrow! So, tonight is also the last night! Might as well go crazy! "Yay!" The three wolfish friends cheered and began to put on makeup! Dont think guys dont wear makeup; thats only because they have no desires! When they have a goal, makeup? Easy! ... Come evening, Lu Xiaobu landed at the bar where the social event was being held, along with Zhang Meng and Li Jinlai. They didnt bring Liang Lan and the others. After all, bringing girls to a social event is a different matter! Arriving at the bar! Zhang Meng and Li Jin mingled into the crowd to avoid disturbing Lu Xiaobus fun, while Lu Xiaobu and co. went to the reserved booth as planned. There were already four girls sitting there! "Why are you so early?!" The dashing Shan Yifei offered his greetings. "We heard you actually invited Lu Xiaobu, so of course were excited!" one of the girls said. "Alright then!" The gang had no choice but to accept that everyone had come for Lu Xiaobu! What a gap! They all took their seats. The four girls didnt shy away from their compliments. "This one must be Lu Xiaobu! So handsome!" "What are you thinking about! Handsome is not enough; the most important thing is to have real strength, to have confidence!" "Exactly, I think Young Master Bu is much more handsome than the others!" "I want to have Young Master Bus monkey babies!" "..." Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu also evaluated the four girls opposite him! From left to right, they scored 82, 88, 85, and 91 points respectively! The girl on the far right was the prettiest, but a hint of a worldly aura between her brows made Lu Xiaobu knock points off her score. After all, with those high cheekbones, those long legs, that flowing hair, she was a solid 95 points! Drinking, chatting, targeting, and displaying affection. Arent social events just about this? But, todays social event was a bit special. For example. Shan Yifei: "Beauty, lets play a game; loser drinks." The 88-point girl ignored him, cooing, "Young Master Bu, play the finger-guessing game with me!" Lu Xiaobu ignored her! ... Gao Yun subtly flexed his muscles, a towering and powerful presence, and he threw a suggestive look at the 85-point girl. The 85-point girl softly smiled and then flirtatiously tossed her hair at Lu Xiaobu, giving him a sultry look. Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched. ... Ni Lin was smarter, writing a note to the 82-point girlI know Lu Xiaobus phone number, too many people here; shall we talk on the dance floor? "Lets go!" The 82-point girl immediately stood up and headed to the dance floor! Ni Lin revealed a proud gleam in his eyes! ... And that 91-point girl was left all alone with no one to engage her! Clearly, the others could also sense her world-weary presence. After all, they didnt want to be the ones left holding the bag. The name of the 91-point girl is Jing Li. After testing Lu Xiaobu a few times and realizing he had no interest, Jing Li took the initiative to give up and simply played with her phone alone. This scene actually earned Lu Xiaobus slight nod of approval; setting aside what kind of girl she was, at the very least, she knew when to advance and when to retreat, which didnt make people feel repulsed. Soon. Shan Yifei also sealed the deal and called the girl to the dance floor! Only Gao Yun, this kid, just knew how to show off his muscles. Ni Lin had already danced a round, and he was still flexing his musclesfoolishly adorable! Time ticked away, second by second. It appeared Shan Yifei and Ni Lin were both on the verge of succeeding. Whereas Gao Yun could only drink sullenly by himself. "Lets go." Ni Lin looked around, saw nothing more of interest, and proposed to leave. "Where to?" Shan Yifei asked. "Of course, to thrash out a couple of rounds!" Ni Lin raised his eyebrows excitedly. Shan Yifei hesitated a bitafter all, bringing the girls to play LOL, felt a bit like wasting heavenly gifts. But then... "Great! Lets go!" All four girls got hyped as well! The 85-point girl said eagerly, "Just so you guys know, all four of us are Platinum. Whats your rank?" Now, Gao Yun stood up, clearing his throat, "Sorry, Diamond III." He held the highest rank in their dorm! "Not bad! Carry me to a higher tier!" The 85-point girls eyes immediately lit up. "Sure, sure!" Gao Yuns eyes brimmed with excited tears. Mom, your son has made it! Thank you, Guardian Angel; thank you, Young Master Bu! You ask, why thank Young Master Xiaobu? Please refer to the previous Chapter on why the championship team won! Correct, as roommates, they have a heart just as strong as that championship teams! Comebacks at the brink of defeat were a daily routine. "What about Young Master Bu?" Jing Li, the 91-point girl, turned to Lu Xiaobu and inquired. Without Lu Xiaobu, there wouldnt be much fun! And then... Seven people looked at Lu Xiaobu with longing eyes. The message was clearlets go, lets go! "Alright, alright, lets go." Lu Xiaobu also nodded, since they were out to have fun, they might as well make the most of it. ... Immediately, the group headed towards the internet cafe. Upon entering the internet cafe, they booked a private room. Eight people didnt divide evenly into teams, so some of them began to mutter among themselves, discussing rules. Like the lowest-scoring ones having to sing and dance, swapping out players, and such. In any case, they were hitting two birds with one stoneflirting and gaming. Lu Xiaobu didnt bother with them, as he didnt need to participate in team division. Soon. The four girls came to understand whats calledDevils Pit! "Ah!" The 85-point girl watched as Lu Xiaobu, for the fifth time, passed through the jungle and casually skilfully took her blue buff, aggravating her to the point of pulling at her hair! She wanted to kill someone, but dare not provoke him! "Come on, girl, this kill is for you." Gao Yun quickly delivered the kill to the girls mouth. The 85-point girl, seeing there was a kill for her, suddenly felt a little more at ease. This Gao Yun, although a bit silly, at least knew how to take care of people, and he had a nice physiqueshe might consider him. While she was contemplating this, she got ready to take the kill. Then... Lu Xiaobu cast a skill over. Secured the kill! Effortlessly retreated! Legendary! Lu Xiaobu had gone Super God! The 85-point girl lost it!

Chapter 256 - 255: You Are Not Worthy [2 Updates] Chapter 256: Chapter 255: You Are Not Worthy [2 Updates]Everyone was having a great time. After all, they played games, appreciated the girls talent shows, and indulged in the delicacies from some five-star hotel; it was incredibly relaxing. You ask where the delicious food came from? What do you think? Of course, it was bought by Lu Xiaobu. However, as a new game session started, they hadnt even begun playing. Jing Lis face suddenly changed. It turned somewhat gloomy, somewhat angry! "Jing Peng! Youre playing games again! What time is it now!?" Jing Li enabled the chat for everyone and typed this out. But... No one responded. "Jing Peng, didnt you hear me calling you? What are you doing?!" "Come out, speak!" "I know youre there, come out!" "..." Rows of text were sent out, but still, nobody responded. Lu Xiaobu and the others were stunned: "Whats going on?" "The Sword Saint on the other team is my younger brother, hes in his senior year of high school!" Jing Li said somewhat angrily: "All he knows is to play games every day, I could overlook casual gaming, but now its late at night, and hes still playing, hes got school to attend!" While speaking, Jing Li opened up her brothers game log. Instantly, her face became even more sullen! Lu Xiaobu glanced over curiously and immediately understood why. Because Jing Lis younger brother was practically online all day long. Which is to say, as a high school senior, going to school seemed non-existent! No wonder Jing Li was angry! Jing Li played the entire game session on the verge of exploding. Originally, Lu Xiaobu was troublesome enough, and now there was Jing Li with her unstable emotions added to the mix. The game ended in an unsurprising loss. They were thoroughly trounced! "Young Master Bu, apologies, but I must take my leave now." Jing Li stood up and apologized. "Go ahead." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. Jing Li had already done very well. Winning or losing didnt matter. Being able to persist through the whole game under these circumstances was very considerate! "Thanks, Young Master Bu." Once Jing Li stepped out of the private room, her entire demeanor turned furious. Lu Xiaobu and the others didnt make a big deal out of it. They were not holier-than-thou. This was someone elses family problem; they had no reason to interfere. They played another two rounds! Bang! The door to Lu Xiaobu and the others private room was suddenly kicked open! A boy came in clutching Jing Lis hair, cursing as he entered: "Damn it, I want to see which man youre with this time! You cant even manage yourself properly, yet you try to control me?" "Jing Peng, Jing Peng! Let go of me." Jing Lis hair was grabbed, and she gasped in pain. But this pain was nothing compared to the heartache of hearing these cutting words from her own brother! With anger and pain, her tears flowed down uncontrollably, her makeup smudging into a blurry mess on her face. This kind of matter doesnt require Lu Xiaobu to step in. Gao Yun grabbed the kid by the collar in one go, while Ni Lin and Shan Yifei twisted Jing Pengs arms apart. This mixer was hosted by their male dormitory, and they had a responsibility to protect the girls safety. "What are you doing?! Acting like a dog in the manger? Or did you all fucking sleep with this bitch?" Jing Pengs eyes were filled with hostility as he cursed incessantly: "All fucking the same trash, acting like big shots, huh?" "Im going to beat you up!" Gao Yun instantly became furious! Was this kids mouth filled with shit? Cursing outsiders is one thing, but he doesnt even let off his own sister. Disgusting! "No, dont!" Jing Li hurriedly stopped Gao Yun: "Hes my brother, dont hit him!" "You treat him as a brother, but he doesnt treat you like a sister!" Shan Yifei sneered: "Damn beast!" "Fuck, try saying that again, believe it or not, Ill cripple you?!" Jing Peng roared at Shan Yifei, looking ferocious. Ni Lin shook his head and pushed up his glasses, disdainfully saying: "This kind of person is just that, typically deprived of love, closed off and insecure, always self-centered and narrow-minded!" "You idiots, feeling proud over what? Just because you went to college? College students are now worth as much as dogs!" Jing Peng seemed to have hit a sore spot and continued to bellow. "This is one of the manifestations: he cant stand to see others outperform him, always finding excuses to rant, unable to accept others opinions," Ni Lin said again, dispassionately. "Your motherfucker! Fuck your grandfather! Im fucking cursing you! Who the hell are you pretending to be?!" Jing Peng, seeing Ni Lin not engaging with him, grew even more enraged! "See, this is the second characteristic, always desperately seeking opportunities to show off and wanting everyones approval and support!" Ni Lin sighed: "This foolish kid is beyond saving, seeking existence even while cursing others!" "Fuck your mother! What the hell do you think you are?! Pointing fingers here?!" Jing Peng was about to explode: "A bunch of dogs beaten into submission by me dare to lecture me? Forgot who was calling me daddy just now in League?" "Characteristic three: seeking any opportunity to show off his life, friends, and job, striving for a sense of vanity, even if these things dont exist!" Ni Lin spread his hands and sighed, turning to the weeping Jing Li: "Your brother is a lost cause, preparing for the worst is all you can do now." "Fuck all of you!" Jing Peng continued to roar: "Who are you looking down upon? Who?! Wait until I become a pro player, win a championship, and I will slap each and every one of your faces! Just you wait!" "Gao Yun, slap him." Lu Xiaobu finally spoke. "Okay." Gao Yun had been unable to restrain himself any longer, and now he had Lu Xiaobus authorization. He backhanded a slap! Slap! The strength of Gao Yuns arm was tremendous, sending two of Jing Pengs teeth flying immediately! "Hit me! Come on! Keep going! When I become a pro player one day, a world champion, Ill have all of you kneel before me!" Jing Pengs eyes showed fear, but he still screamed heartbreakingly. Just as Ni Lin said, that faint self-esteem was all he had left! "No, you wont make it." Lu Xiaobu spoke indifferently. "Who the fuck are you! Oh, I see now." Jing Peng saw the account on Lu Xiaobus computer: "You were the shittiest one just now! Dont fucking judge me with your low-level perspective, Ill be a pro player soon!" "I said, you wont make it." Lu Xiaobu stood up and took out his phone: "Sister Lan, issue the order down the line, ban Jing Pengs account for life and ban him from competition for life!" "Right, and while youre at it, establish a professional player certification standard!" "So that certain idiots stop using that excuse to mess around in games, this is one pot I wont carry!" "Yes!" Liang Lans voice came through. Even though it was late at night, she was still alert! If Lu Xiaobu wasnt sleeping, there was no way she could. After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaobu stretched and walked up to Jing Peng: "Kid, whether youre an asshole or not, I couldnt care less and wont bother with it. But stop using the title of pro player as your excuse for being a scoundrel." Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You, are unworthy!" Chapter 258 - 257 Saint Turns into a Demon【For ScHatZ, bonus - , fourth update】 Chapter 258: Chapter 257 Saint Turns into a DemonFor ScHatZ, bonus Chapter, fourth updateThe next day. Friday. On the LOL official website as well as in the game, two new rules were introduced! "About the Verification of Professional Players" "About the Anti-Addiction System" Players saw them and didnt even bother to read before clicking close, then continued playing their games. They had no idea that these rules they ignored would bring such impact, especially to those minors! ... An hour after the rules were published. At nine in the morning. During normal class time. The rules started to be officially enforced! "Damn! What is this crap?! Anti-addiction verification? Wont let you play without verification?! Has the game company gone mad? Ive got a team battle to get to!" An adult was stunned by the anti-addiction verification that popped up. But soon, he took out his ID card and began the verification according to the rules. First, he entered the ID number and passed. Then, a video verification with the ID card in hand popped up. "Damn, how troublesome!" He cursed, but still completed the requirement. "Hope its quick! Seriously, theyve got nothing better to do, whats with this anti-addiction stuff!" He clicked on submit with some irritation, lit up a cigarette, and anxiously waited. He thought it would take at least the time to smoke a cigarette. But! In less than thirty seconds, his verification was approved! This made him happy. "Not bad at all! This speed, no wonder its something devised by Lu Xiaobu, so efficient. It doesnt really have any big impact, lets play, lets play!" He continued his game, everything as usual, nothing else happened! He was an adult, this anti-addiction system had no effect on him, it only wasted thirty seconds of his time. However, just because it didnt affect him didnt mean it didnt affect others. ... At the same internet caf. Five elementary school students who had skipped class were eagerly starting up their computers. "Hurry, hurry, my knife is already itching for a fight!" "I want to jungle!" "Ill go top lane, my Demacia gameplay is slick!" "Damn, Im the support again!" "Hahaha, just obediently support me!" "..." They chatted and excitedly powered up the computers and logged into the game. Then! All five were dumbfounded by the anti-addiction system right in front of them! "What the hell is this?!" "Anti-addiction? Have they lost their minds?" "Who cares, just quickly get it done." "..." The one bragging about Demacia typed in his ID card number at lightning speed. And then... An alert popped up! "Damn, you little brat, its class time and you dare to come online? Young Master says roll back to class! If thats not possible, lie down and sleep. Come back after school!" Seeing this alert... The kid was flabbergasted! What the hell kind of alert was this?! They have this kind of alert? Whats this about rolling back to class?! And lying down to sleep? Do they really give alerts like this? As for who came up with this alert, theres no need to ask, right? "Damn it, it wasnt easy for me to sneak out, and now you tell me I cant play?" S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The kid furiously slammed his headphones onto the keyboard. "Hahaha, you fool, this so-called anti-addiction is clearly meant to prevent us from playing, and you still stupidly entered your own ID card, seriously." The kid playing mid lane arrogantly laughed: "Watch me, Ive already memorized my dads ID card!" The ID card verification smoothly passed! Then... The video verification popped up! "Holy crap! What is this?" The mid-laner kid who was just feeling smug is now completely dumbfounded! Video authentication? ID card and the person himself must appear at the same time? Authenticate my ass! He didnt even bring his dads ID card, and even if he did, he wouldnt pass the authentication! "Damn it!" The other kids also encountered the same problem. "How the hell are we supposed to play now?" "What kind of bullshit is this!?" "Fuck you, Lu Xiaobu, youre such a moron!" "Fuck it, if playing LoL pisses you off, I wont play!" "Cursing the bastards next door!" "..." Listening to the cursing of the five elementary school kids, the adult who just finished authentication sneered with disdain, "Now I see why Lu Xiaobu launched this system! So young, yet their mouths are filthy! This is exactly what they need!" M city. "I want to go pro, you know? Pro. Dont stop me." Qi Kun, like Jing Peng, used going pro as an excuse to talk back to his parents and play games, yelling at his parents who were advising him not to play too much! Normally, his parents would indeed be both angry and anxious, yet unable to come up with any rebuttal. However, today. Its different! "Fine! You want to go pro, right? Come on, Lu Xiaobu has already launched the professional gamer certification agency. Ill take you there right now! As long as you can pass, you can play however much you want!" Qi Kuns father sneered and pulled up the rules for the "Qualifications Certification for Professional Players," placing them in front of Qi Kun. "This..." Qi Kun was immediately stunned. Authenticate my ass! He was just playing for fun; a Bronze player going pro was just a joke! "Humph, I knew it." Qi Kuns father sneered. "Lu Xiaobu! I hate you! Im not playing LOL anymore!" Qi Kun roared furiously! Similar scenes started unfolding across the country. An outpouring of resistance began to flood the internet. Or rather, voices filled with angry curses! "Lu Xiaobu, come out and give us an explanation!" "Exactly, if you dont remove this crappy anti-addiction system, we wont play LOL anymore!" "We are your bread and butter; how dare you treat us like this?! Fuck you!" "I thought you were a good guy, but now I see youre no different from that Chen Kangle! Go die!" "Demon! Bastard! Im going to kill you!" "Have the guts to share your address with me? Ill go take care of you myself!" "..." Because Lu Xiaobu launched an anti-addiction system, he instantly went from a saint in the gaming community to a demon! The entire internet was swept with exceedingly nasty, even malicious, cursing. No matter which post or Weibo you opened, it was all about cursing Lu Xiaobu! Many people began to compare Lu Xiaobu with the once-infamous Chen Kangle! And the most frequent seems to be the threat of no longer playing LOL! Lu Xiaobu, with his fiery temper, wouldnt stand it for sure. So, he immediately started posting on Weibo: "Come on, lets have at it! What time is it now? Class time!" "You guys still have time to play with your phones! Just for that, what right do you have to oppose anti-addiction?! Those who truly understand what all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy means would never post and curse others!" "Love playing then play, if not, fuck off! Did I ever fucking force you to play?!" "And that one asking for my address, do I even need to disclose it? Its all over the internet, Im fucking waiting for you!" Liang Lan sighed while watching from the side! The young masters anti-addiction system was really too harsh. Just this morning alone, the daily online users had dropped by more than half. Terrifying! It was like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs! She really couldnt figure out why. She cant figure it out, but Lu Xiaobu was completely at ease, not worried at all. You ask why? Because he has someone backing him up. You ask who? Let me tell you, its the Heavenly Dynasty! Dont believe it? He dares to say that within two days, all these uncultured brats will be done for! However, at this moment, something even more angering than being cursed at happened! Chapter 259 - 258: Kick Someone When They’re Down? Wishful Thinking【Bonus for La La La, 5th Update】 Chapter 259: Chapter 258: Kick Someone When Theyre Down? Wishful ThinkingBonus for La La La, 5th UpdateThe time had arrived at that afternoon. As more students got out of school, more of them saw the anti-addiction system. Thus, the cursing online began to exponentially increase. Finally, when the time reached the point where earnings were halved after three hours of gameplay due to anti-addiction measures. The curse storm reached its climax! "Lu Xiaobu, you asshole! Who gave you the right to slash my earnings?!" "You think youre so great just because you developed a game!" "Dont think we only have this game to play!" "What the hell! You think you can do whatever you want just because you got rid of Chen Kangle?" "Do you think too highly of yourself?!" "..." This is human nature, when they need Lu Xiaobu, they look pitiful. But, when you infringe on their interests, they will not hesitate to turn around and bite you, whether youre right or wrong! At the same time. Before League of Heroes came onto the scene, the gaming tycoon of the Heavenly Dynasty Conquest Game Company, suddenly spoke up. "Playing the saint after being a whore, we are ashamed to be associated with such people! Blabbering about doing it for everyones sake, once they achieve something, they forget who fed and clothed them! Utterly disgusting!" "We at Conquest Network Company swear we will never do such a thing!" "Moreover, we are launching a brand-new game God and Demon Alliance, a truly conscientious creation, starting open beta tonight! We hope everyone will support us!" Conquest Companys obviously targeted, kicking someone when theyre down and promoting themselves at expense of others, instantly ignited the entire internet. "Lu Xiaobu, do you see this? Whats called a conscientious company? Whats called a conscientious game?" "Learn from them! See my picture? League of Heroes, Ive uninstalled it!" "Anti-addiction? Screw your anti-addiction! Im done playing!" "You wont let us play? Lets see if its you or us who will cry?!" "..." And at this moment, the real gamers started to fight back! "A bunch of trash elementary schoolers, scram! Uninstalling? Have the guts not to come back! Without you, we play more comfortably!" "Not studying properly, only knowing how to play games, acting all smart, you lot!" "If I were your parents, Id spank you eight times a day!" "Look at the time, its time to sleep, but youre still ranting and raving, anti-addiction is so good! Thumbs up!" "Yeah, Conquest Company, dont be so shameless! Kicking someone when theyre down?! God and Demon Alliance?" "I just played a round, what the hell God and Demon Alliance, I can only say heh, interpret that as you will!" "Let me explain heh, bad graphics, bad controls, bad servers, as for the character models, maps, skills? Why dont you ask Lu Xiaobu for the League of Heroes source code?!" "Who said that all creations under heaven are but copies, yet you cant even copy properly, still have the nerve to mock here?!" "..." Conquest Company spoke up again. "Some company, some people, your water army is in action again?" "Seriously, making games is about conscience, stop with these antics, its meaningless!" This time Conquest Company was completely shameless, starting to make veiled accusations! With the backing of Conquest Company. The elementary schoolers became blatantly more arrogant! "See that? Conscience, do you even know what conscience is?" "Garbage Lu Xiaobu!" "Holy shit your mother!" "Hope your son is born without a dick!" sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Forever a single dog! Moron!" "..." League of Heroes players, they werent even playing the game anymore! All were just sitting there, having a war of words! "Conscience?! You dare talk to us about conscience!?" "You actually have the gall to shamelessly mention conscience?!" "What kind of act are you Conquest Company?! Are you not aware? Which game of yours isnt just crazily minting money?! " "Whats the matter? Touched a nerve, so you decided to jump out?" "In the end, whos the whore?! League of Heroes is the game that brought glory to our country, demanded by the entire world to launch! And you? Other than scamming our countrymen, thats all you do! Dare to scam foreigners if youre capable!" "Yeah, if you screw our country over abroad, Ill call you daddy! Dumbass shit!" "..." Seeing the wave of curses online, Lu Xiaobu certainly wasnt going to sit idlehe hit back with a mouthful of insults. "So its Conquest Company, huh! Provoking me? Stepping on me to elevate yourselves?! What the hell are you, do you even qualify?!" "Whos that, the boss of Conquest CompanyFan Xi, get your ass out here, dont fucking deceive people with this half-assed, shady shit!" "What, youll say it was just an independent act by an employee once the scandal breaks, right?!" "Dont make your employees take the fall, be a man and come out to me!" "..." He disdained to quarrel with those elementary school kids, an insult to intelligence! Fan Xi, as the boss of Conquest Company, would his employees dare to do such a thing without his directive? Even a blind person could see that all he wanted was to take advantage of the situation and then find some lame excuse to brush it off. Would Lu Xiaobu allow him to have his way?! Would he indulge him?! Bullshit! With this statement. The online flame war escalated once again! This was no longer about competition between two games, two companies; this was a battle between two big shots! Fan Xi, the founder of Conquest Company, was a drug seller before he developed games. He later founded Conquest Company and quickly became successful, starting to wildly cash in on the gaming world. Currently ranked 27th on the Third Level Rich List. Two places above Lu Xiaobus rank! As Lu Xiaobus pointed words were released. The entire online sentiment began to change. Whether they were enemies or allies, they all started calling for Fan Xi to show up! Enemy elementary school kids. "Lu Xiaobu, you still dare to be arrogant?! President Fan, come out and fight him!" "Yeah, fight him till he cant take care of himself!" "Dont be afraid of him! No, make him afraid!" "..." League of Heroes players! "Fan Xi, do you dare to come out?" "If you do, Ill respect you as a real man!" "If its your responsibility, then face up to it, dont dilly-dally like a wimp!" "..." Conquest Company. "Fuck!" Fan Xi, seeing the online rhetoric directly pointing at him, was instantly furious! "That Lu Xiaobu is a madman! Who the hell acts like that?! Fuck your grandfather!" There are rules in the business world; people can trip each other or kick someone when theyre down, but everyone keeps a line. After all, no matter who wins or loses, its all business competition, theres no need for life-or-death struggles! Just like Lu Xiaobu said, the loser finds an excuse, fires a couple of employees, gives some face and its over! But Lu Xiaobu refuses to let it go, targeting the man himself! This was his first clash with Lu Xiaobu, and he was already dumbfounded in the first round! He just wanted to ride on the coattails of League of Heroes and make some money! Really go head-to-head with Lu Xiaobu, and League of Heroes which was a global phenomenon? He couldnt handle it! With no other choice, he had to come out and say, "I will not make any excuses. Facts speak louder than words!" This statement was on another level! Vague and open to interpretation from any angle! However... Did he underestimate Lu Xiaobu? Lu Xiaobu could argue Lin Feng into almost vomiting blood! As for you, Fan Xi, not arguing you into the state those kids described, unable to take care of yourself, would he be Lu Xiaobu?!

"Young Master Lin, Young Master Lu is sparring with someone again." The butler knocked on the door and entered the room. "Really? Let me check." Lin Feng excitedly took out his phone to browse Weibo. However, he failed to notice the butlers face twitching madly beside him! The butler was almost losing his mind! Do you know? Ever since he returned last time, Young Master Lin has become obsessed with the act of squatting down, as if hed been traumatized. Like right now, squatting on the ground, smoking a cigar, scrolling through his phone! Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin, really, lets stop playing with Lu Xiaobu. Winning or losing aside. Im worried about you, if you keep this up, you might pick up some other weird habits. "Hahaha, found it." Lin Feng laughed heartily, stood up, and sat down on a chair: "Fan Xi dares to provoke Lu Xiaobu? I want to see how he gets roasted by Lu Xiaobu! Right, lets add fuel to the fire." Saying this, he began to post on WeiboLu Xiaobu, trash! @LuXiaobu. He chuckled while posting: "Hahaha..." Like a little kid, mocking Lu Xiaobu was his greatest pleasure! ... Elsewhere. "Whats this about actions speak louder than words? Come out and explain yourself clearly." Lu Xiaobu immediately shot back in response to Fan Xis comments. However. Fan Xi didnt respond any further. Having been forced to reply just now, he had done so out of sheer helplessness, how could he possibly respond again? The netizens waited for a long time and found no response. Instantly. "Hahaha, Old 13, not talking now, huh! Fan Xi, come out." "Youre bold enough to steal men, pff, youre bold enough to kick someone when theyre down, come out if you dare!" "Daring to challenge Lu Xiaobu? Guess youre tired of living." "Youre face to face, do you dare?" "..." And Lu Xiaobus enemies, seeing that Fan Xi wouldnt come out. Immediately divided into two camps. Camp one. "Dammit, what are you so arrogant about? Havent you seen our boss has already spoken! Actions speak louder than words! You guys are heartless!" "Exactly, trash Lu Xiaobu wont explain!" "Sooner or later, hell go bankrupt!" "Uninstall, will never play!" "..." Camp two. "Fan Xi, come out and roast him! What are you afraid of?" "We support you, what are you afraid of?" "Come out and roast him, otherwise others will think were scared!" "..." Fan Xi, at the company, was quite reassured when he saw the first type of comments. But, when he saw the second type of comments... He was so angry he stamped his feet. "Are you brain-dead? Me go out and roast him? With your support? Easy for you to say!" ... "Dammit, Fan Xi, wont come out, will you? Alright, Young Master is coming to find you!" Lu Xiaobu posted a Weibo with several photos attached. Including shoes, an RV, and a private jet! In an instant. The atmosphere soared again! "Hahahahaha, Fan Xi, our Young Master Bu is coming for you!" "Are you ready?" "Just asking, are you scared?" "Am I the only one who noticed the private jet? Oh my god!" "..." Everyone was enjoying the show. Who has ever seen billionaires, at a minor disagreement, face off in a brawl?! What? You ask if Fan Xi is scared? How could he not be scared?! Not just scared; he was freaking out! He finally understood what kind of madman he had provoked! "Crap, are you insane?! I just roasted you a bit, is that really necessary? You actually want to fly over and have it out with me? Is that how you play?" He hurriedly started making phone calls: "Secretary, book me a plane ticket! To where? Doesnt matter where! What time is the flight? Now! Right now! As long as its out of the country, anywhere will do! Some lunatic is coming to confront me! Remember to keep it secret!" After hanging up the phone. Fan Xi fled like his life depended on it. He wasnt about to have a showdown with Lu Xiaobu! Anyone who could survive to this point still had some judgment. Of course, he could see that what Lu Xiaobu was stirring up, would undoubtedly become mainstream! He only wanted to ride on the wave of popularity, but who knew it would turn out like this! Its like poking a hornets nest! ... However, What the fleeing Fan Xi didnt know was that Lu Xiaobu was lounging in the villa given to him by Lin Feng, lying on Liang Lans knees and eating grapes! Yep, Sister Lans lap pillow is the most comfortable. That silky smoothness, that touch, and most importantly, that subtle body fragrance! Forget it, I wont talk about it anymore, you wouldnt be able to imagine it anyway! "Boss, arent you going?" Su Luoxue asked with a bit of confusion. "Umm... Should I say youre dumb or just plain stupid?" Lu Xiaobu looked up and asked Su Luoxue. "I..." Su Luoxue was upset, Boss, thats not fair, which one should I choose? "Hehe." Liang Lan covered her mouth and giggled lightly: "Theres no way were going! Young Master was just scaring him. After all, you have to be tough with old foxes like him, or else theyll bully you." "Smart girl. Come here, reward you with a back massage." Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers. "Young Master, stop it!" Liang Lans cheeks flushed, "Is this a reward for me, or for you?" "Right, speaking of which, Hot Pepper, you still havent given me my reward for the last mission." Lu Xiaobu turned his gaze to Hot Pepper again. He nearly forgot about it! "Cough cough, I have homework!" Hot Pepper immediately went upstairs, avoiding the topic at all costs! Playing the fool? Even Lin Feng has caught onto it. None of those who follow Lu Xiaobu are ignorant of such tricks! Oh, Li Xide probably doesnt! Li Xide expressesAm I getting shot while lying down again?! "Right, Sister Lan, call Lin Feng. That brat dared to curse at me, I want to get something good out of this!" Lu Xiaobu said. "Sure." Liang Lan dialed Lin Fengs number. "Hey, brat!" Lu Xiaobu started off with a curse. "Damn you, cant you speak politely?" Lin Feng cursed right back! "Your words are impolite, and you have the cheek to blame me?" Lu Xiaobu was fuming mad! "Bullshit, it was obviously you who started it!" Lin Fengs corner of the mouth twitched! "Damn! Just look at your Weibo, you even tagged me? Think Im blind?" Lu Xiaobu sneered. "Uh... this, cough cough!" Lin Fengs face turned red. Such a slip of the hand, why did I tag him?! Liang Lan listened to Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng, the two bosses cursing each other out like street hoodlums, with a speechless expression! She was okay with it, used to it. sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But, while she was used to it, others were not. Lin Fengs butlerwas going insane! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Forgive my rudeness, but only this phrase can express my feelings! Can you imagine the scene Im witnessing? Let me describe it for you! Right now, Young Master Lin... The carpet under his feetthree million, handmade. The fireplace behind him, including the little ornaments, all togetherfifty million! The famous painting on the wall behind Young Master LinI wont say exactly how much to avoid frightening you, but its genuine, the one in the British Museum is the fake! The red wine in Young Master Lins left handLafite! The cigar in his mouthtop-grade Cuban! However! In this luxurious setting! Young Master Lin is squatting there, cursing out loud with Lu Xiaobu! Did you hear that? Squatting! Cursing in the street! My God! Why do I feel my head buzzing? Im getting a bit dizzy, and my heart feels uncomfortable too! Young Master Lin, I think maybe I can retire, Im afraid my heart cant take it! "Alright, alright, tell me, what is it?" Lin Feng said with a curled lip. "Its nothing big, just tell me where Fan Xi is, and Ill forgive you." Lu Xiaobu finally revealed his intention. He couldnt help, but the corner of his mouth revealed a wicked smile! Chapter 261 - 260: I Said, I Open, I Control [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 261: Chapter 260: I Said, I Open, I Control [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]Lin Feng had no choice but to pay the price for his own slip-up. Despite Fan Xis confidentiality measures, how could he possibly be deceived. Very quickly, a screenshot of an airplane ticket was sent to Lu Xiaobu. "Were even now!" Lin Feng said with a curled lip. "Not even close, bastard, goodbye!" Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone after that. Giving Lin Feng absolutely no chance to retort! "Damn it!" Lin Feng, hearing the beep of the hung-up phone, was hopping mad. Tricked by that jerk again! Lost out again! Upon receiving the screenshot, Lu Xiaobu immediately posted on Weibo. "Fan Xi, why are you running? I havent even set off yet!" Below, a video of Lu Xiaobu putting on his shoes! And theres more! Fan Xis plane ticket! To Africa! And that! Set off a frenzy on the internet! A series of explosions! "Hahahaha, let me laugh for a while!" "Fan Xi, seriously? Lu Xiaobu hasnt even left yet, and youre already running away? How embarrassing?!" "Damn! Young Master Bu is impressive!" "Shit! Fan Xi, youve disappointed all of us! God and Demon Alliance? Uninstall, uninstall, all uninstall!" "Hey, the guy above, I remember you uninstalled LOL too, right? Now uninstalling God and Demon Alliance too? Are you planning to study hard? I support you! Hahaha!" "Mind your own business! Im going to play Minesweeper, alright?! Damn it!" "..." Lets put aside the stuff on the internet for a moment. Lets talk about Fan Xi who was just about to board his flight. "Ah! What the hell is this?" Fan Xi, upon seeing the screenshot of his own plane ticket, went crazy. He hurriedly called his secretary: "Secretary, whats the deal? Im about to board here! How did the plane ticket leak? Is this your idea of confidentiality?" "Boss Fan, I have no idea either!" The secretary was also dumbfounded. She hadnt told anyone! Why was it exposed?! How could she know Lin Fengs methods? "Shit shit shit!" Fan Xi began to curse: "Damn it, change the booking, go somewhere else! Clear this up online!" "Yes!" The secretary nodded hurriedly. Soon, Fan Xis clarification was posted online. Saying it was for business purposes! To promote the game overseas and so on and so forth! But. The clarification they issued. The netizens didnt believe a single word! "Bullshit, if you ran, you ran! Do you think were blind?" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Going to expand business? If you can take your game overseas, Ill call you daddy!" "As the saying goes, dont lose face even if you lose! Look at you, losing on both fronts!" "Isnt there anyone who can put Lu Xiaobu in his place?!" "..." But, no matter how much they yelled, Fan Xi was dead set on staying silent! Conquest Game Company, completely defeated by the ruthless mocking! Completely rendered helpless by Lu Xiaobus mocking! In desperation, the players punished by the anti-addiction system could only return to the game itself, back to Lu Xiaobu himself! "Forget it, Lu Xiaobu has no conscience!" "Thats right, Id rather play Minesweeper than play LOL!" "Uninstall! Uninstall!" "Trash Lu Xiaobu, lets see when youre finished!" "Moron!" "..." Lu Xiaobu continued to exchange barbs with them. One by one without fear! Bring it on! As this issue grew bigger and bigger. Two days later! Finally. As Lu Xiaobu was getting impatient, he spent a billion to activate the Luck Aura! The thing Lu Xiaobu had been waiting for arrived. The relevant authorities issued a statement. "Guidelines for the Construction of the Anti-Addiction System" In the statement, the relevant departments highly praised Lu Xiaobu for constructing the anti-addiction system and the professional player certification! And they ordered that the anti-addiction system will be promoted to all online games nationwide after adjustments and modifications in the near future. With this statement out! Everyone was shocked! This statement is simply a critical hit of 99999 to those players who skip classes to play games! "Damn it! Ah! Im going crazy!" "Why? Why!? WHY?!!" "Its over now! All games are going to have it installed!" "Lu Xiaobu, I hate you! Hate you! Hate you!" "Heaven and earth!" "..." Lu Xiaobu laughed out loud: "Kids, keep complaining! Keep jumping! Fan Xi, come out and kick us while were down! God and Demon Alliance?! Come on, you said you would never install it! If you dare, dont install it!" What are you saying? Shouldnt exterminate thoroughly? Be magnanimous? Must have the tolerance of a victor? To hell with tolerance, after being cursed, you still want me to be tolerant? Go where its cool and stay there! Forgot my lifes creed, have you? Do whatever I want! Catch! Spit, catch my ass! LOL players also laughed out loud! "Awesome! You were being arrogant? Arrogant? Lets see you be arrogant again!" "Whatever Lu Xiaobu does, the country supports it!" "See that? Whats called a conscience company? Whats called thinking for the greater good?" "This is the real conscience, and besides, does anti-addiction truly stop you from playing? Not at all! Just look carefully at the rules, you can play as much as you want on rest days." "Plus, the most critical point is that special case application, like me, although Im a high school student, I took a break due to some issues, I submitted an application, it was approved, and my anti-addiction was lifted! Where else can you find such a humanized system?" "Exactly, exactly! Reasonable control of game time is the trend and only normal!" "..." LOL players completely took the upper hand, bragging non-stop! And those elementary school students skipping class to go online, had nothing to say! And its not even over yet! One after another, news articles were released! "America highly acknowledges the anti-addiction and professional certification, requesting to introduce it" "Japan highly acknowledges the anti-addiction and professional certification...." "Korea acknowledges the anti-addiction and professional certification...." "Europe acknowledges the anti-addiction...." "Australia acknowledges the anti...." "..." Perhaps it is because Lu Xiaobus Luck Aura was on for a bit too long. Therefore, leading to the whole world highly appreciating and acknowledging the rules set by Lu Xiaobu. Repeatedly stating the desire to introduce the rules. Now! LOL players got even more excited! "Hahaha! Just ask if you are afraid!" "What did I say? Forget it, I wont say anything, long live Young Master Bu!" "Hahaha, foreigners, tremble! Not only accept our game, but also accept our rules!" "Just ask if you accept it! Hahaha!" "..." Those elementary school students who skip classes and saw this news felt utterly disheartened. They could only accept this helpless reality. Then, they turned on their computers, reinstalled LOL that they just uninstalled. And then obediently started to certify the anti-addiction system. Since its like this, lets just play LOL! Commenting about Minesweeper, its all just talk. Playing Minesweeper is impossible, Ill never play Minesweeper in this lifetime! Its just about not skipping class! Not skipping then not skipping, its not a big deal, really! Eventually, they will become adults anyway, humph! They could only comfort themselves like this! As for Conquest Company? Now, they dare not even fart; theyre afraid of being slammed again! Encountering a madman, and one with immense connections at that, too scary! This battle... Lu Xiaobu, total victory! LOL online at the peak again! In the villa! Lu Xiaobu, lying on a lap pillow, curled his lips slightly. I said it, the era I started, I control! At this moment, emanating sheer dominance! Chapter 262 - 261: Don’t Blame if You Dislike? [For Meng Shangbin’s 10,000 reward bonus, 3rd update] Chapter 262: Chapter 261: Dont Blame if You Dislike? [For Meng Shangbins 10,000 reward bonus, 3rd update]Two days later. "Young Master, your ranking has gone up again!" Liang Lan gleefully opened the Third Level Rich List to check: "Now youre at 27, Fan Xi is underneath your feet." "Not bad." Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but laugh, then continued, "But speaking of which, I didnt make any money this time, so why did my ranking go up?" To tell the truth, the new rules did affect LOL, but the states named reward compensated for the losses. It was basically break-even! "Because others have lost money." Liang Lan spread her hands in resignation. Other gaming companies, including the Conquest Game Company, suffered from the new rules, leading to financial losses. In contrast, breaking even with LOL essentially meant making a profit. "Nice, its not about making myself strong, but hoping the others flop." Lu Xiaobu chuckled. Although this ranking is practically useless, seeing Fan Xi beneath his feet was indeed quite satisfying. You want to kick a man when hes down? Now whos at the bottom? ... A leisurely life continues. Eating, sleeping, and teasing the four girls! Its worth mentioning that Lu Xiaobus name is now being deliberately forgotten by gamers. Because they really dont know how to refer to him, the man who single-handedly sparked the era of eSports but at the same time keeps a tight grip on it. A Saint or a demon? Or perhaps hes both! So, they choose to go with the flow and forget him in the Jianghu! Ahem, actually, theres another interpretation of the above. That is! What? Uninstalling LOL? Never play again? When did I say that? Never, definitely never! What? Lu Xiaobu? Whos that? Dont know him! Come on, stop dawdling, my Sword Saint skills are top-notch! Hurry up, lets team up and play before its time again! ... Lu Xiaobu was sitting and thinking that day. He was wondering whether to go to the He Family in Xiangjiang now, following Lin Fengs clues to check on her, or to wait a bit longer. "Boss, Principal Li called and asked if you could come to class." Su Luoxue whispered to Lu Xiaobu, covering the phone. If you looked closely, you would notice a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth! Lu Xiaobus approach to being a student had gotten to the point where even the principal personally called to inquire whether or not he could attend class. The most crucial part was the inquiring tone, which seemed to say, Im just asking, its fine if you dont come. "Class?" Lu Xiaobu scratched his head: "I think I really never did attend any class, huh! University life is so good, you can skip classes whenever, I almost forgot Im still a student." "Uh..." Su Luoxue desperately held back her urge to retort. Is this the good university life? Its just that your life is good, alright? Normal university students have to attend classes and earn credits! Otherwise, they cant graduate. "Alright then, Ill go to class. After all, not attending a single lecture for a semester is indeed not great." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "By the way, what major am I in again?" He genuinely didnt know because he didnt get in through regular channels; who knows what he filled in for a major at the time. "Film Directing." Su Luoxue reminded him, speechless. Alright, I get it, you really almost forgot you were a student. You even forgot your major. After replying to Principal Li. Lu Xiaobu strolled leisurely toward the university. He arrived at the large lecture hall as Principal Li had notified. Lu Xiaobu didnt alarm anyone and sneaked in through the back door, casually found a seat, and sat down. He was here to give Principal Li face, after all, and just played with his phone to pass the time! However, as soon as Lu Xiaobu took a seat, the people around him automatically dispersed. Everyone looked like they wanted to approach, but they dared not. Obviously, they all recognized Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu didnt care. Meanwhile, the people around were whispering. "This must be Lu Xiaobu!" "It should be, he looks like the one in photos, but Ive never seen him in person." Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "As if you have! Ive heard this Lu Xiaobu hasnt attended a single class." "Really? Thats awesome!" "Thats not all, I heard the old stick-in-the-mud has a big issue with him, even reported him to Principal Li." "Well, isnt he here now! Besides, what does it matter if he attends classes or not? If I were as capable as he is, I wouldnt go to classes either." "Alright, alright, keep it down, dont let him hear us." "..." Time passed by every minute, and more and more people entered, soon filling up the entire lecture hall! Finally, someone sat down next to Lu Xiaobu. This actually made Lu Xiaobu a bit surprised, he looked up to see. It was a round-faced student wearing glasses, who could only be described as ordinary. But just one glance was enough to immediately make you feel an overwhelming scholarly aura. Of course, theres also another term for that - a bookworm. "Hello." The bookworm nodded to Lu Xiaobu. "Hello." Lu Xiaobu responded with a smile. One does not start a quarrel with someone who is smiling. "You are Lu Xiaobu, right? Let me introduce myself; my name is Zhang Peng, also majoring in directing, a disciple of Professor Sun!" Zhang Peng pushed his glasses up and introduced himself, emphasizing the word disciple to show how much he valued this identity. "So?" Lu Xiaobu was somewhat puzzled. Whats this about?! Why do I feel hostility? "I just want to ask, what is the basics of directing?" Zhang Peng said very calmly, without a trace of fluctuation in his tone. "I dont know." Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders, although not understanding where this topic was coming from, he still answered. "What about photography and videography?" "I dont know." "What is photojournalism?" "I dont understand." "What is ..." "Hold on, what exactly are you trying to say?" Lu Xiaobu frowned, his patience reaching its limit. "I just wanted to say, although you are glorious, do you think there is any point in you attending university if you dont even go to classes?" Zhang Peng continued in that very calm, or rather confident tone of voice. Such words, spoken in this tone, inexplicably seemed very powerful. Simply put, Zhang Peng was chastising Lu Xiaobuunfit to be a student! "Wow, are you here to trample all over me?" Lu Xiaobus anger flared up instantly. "Dont mind it, Im just speaking the truth, no offense." Zhang Peng went on in the same tone. His saying that made Lu Xiaobus temper flare up even more! No offense? Youre freaking stepping all over me and say no offense? Who do you think you are? What are you to me?! I have to listen to you after you insult me?! Should I say youre shameless, or just shameless? You want to play games with me? Then let the games continue! Chapter 263 - 262: Does it Hurt? [Extra for ScHatZ, the 4th Update] Chapter 263: Chapter 262: Does it Hurt? [Extra for ScHatZ, the 4th Update]"Youve asked me several questions, so now let me ask you a few," Lu Xiaobu said with a sideways glance. "Please enlighten me." Zhang Peng pushed up his glasses, overflowing with confidence. He had mastered any field of knowledge. Lu Xiaobu: "What year are you in?" Zhang Peng: "Junior." "Got a girlfriend?" Lu Xiaobu landed a critical hit! Right in the heart! "Uh..." Zhang Peng was suddenly at a loss for words, struggled for a long time before he managed to utter, "No!" "Oh. I do!" Lu Xiaobu nodded, then wrapped his arms around Su Luoxue beside him. And planted a kiss on her pretty face. Mua! Su Luoxues cheeks flushed red, but she didnt object at all. She was kind of used to it. And in front of others, she must give Lu Xiaobu face. "This... you!" Zhang Pengs face turned beet red. "Does it sting?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed, "Ill ask you again." "Speak!" Zhang Pengs usually calm voice was gone! Not having a girlfriend was his sorest point! After all, even though he was a nerd, he was still a man. "Do you play basketball?" "No, its a waste of time." "Do you participate in any competitive activities then? Games count, too." "No, waste of time!" "Then do you have someone you like?" "Yes!" Zhang Peng hesitated for a long time but finally said it. "Then have you confessed to her?" Lu Xiaobu continued. "No!" Zhang Peng clenched his teeth and said. "You see, you dont fight, you dont compete, you lack passion, you like a girl but dont dare to confess! What kind of young man are you? Why not just retire?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed and said, "The biggest asset young people have is time, fail and you just start over. But no, you choose to retire early! Whats the point of your living?!" "Oh right." Lu Xiaobu suddenly remembered, spreading his hands, "Im just speaking the truth, no offense intended!" Damn it, if youre not offended, good for you, Im not offended either! I really want to see what else you can come up with! With those words. Zhang Pengs face instantly turned crimson. Lu Xiaobu was literally using his own words to slap his face. What made it even more suffocating for him was... He couldnt refute! Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Because what Lu Xiaobu said was spot-on!!! The surrounding crowd cheered. "Well said!" "666666! Other than 666, I have nothing else to say!" "Young people should strive, they should fight and compete, not just retire!" "Ive decided, Im confessing right after class!" "..." "Hmph!" Hearing what everyone said, Zhang Peng angrily stood up and turned to leave. "Oh, and another thing, retirement isnt done your way, learn from me. This is how you retire properly!" Lu Xiaobu scoffed and then casually reclined on Su Luoxues lap. Ah, the Su Luoxue brand knee pillow. Although not very soft, its definitely tender, smooth, and cool! Absolutely ecstatic! Su Luoxues face turned red. This was the first time she had ever served as a knee pillow for Lu Xiaobu, and it felt awkward. Because of this position, Lu Xiaobus head was very close to a certain area! Embarrassingly unbearable! She was forcing herself to bear with it, not standing up. When Zhang Peng turned back and saw this scene, he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood! His fragile heart was pierced and bleeding profusely! He couldnt bear to stay any longer, and left like a dog that had lost its home. Too excruciating! The people around were watching Lu Xiaobu with envy. "Jealous envy hate!" "I want to do that too! But my girlfriend wont allow it!" "Ah, comparing people, can really kill!" "Young Master Bu, teach us how to pick up girls." "Yeah, Young Master Bu." "..." Suddenly, there were more and more people gathering around Lu Xiaobu. However, they all kept their distance, not getting too close. "What are you doing? Arent you going to class?!" A scolding voice suddenly erupted. Upon hearing this, the students immediately shuddered in fear and hurried back to their places. "Quick, the old stick-in-the-mud is here." "We are going to have points deducted again!" "Damn, why is he so strict every day, whats he really after?" "..." Lu Xiaobu also sat up and looked towards the newcomer. A bald old man. Wearing glasses. He seems very old-fashioned and harsh. Similar to Zhang Pengs demeanor, but even more intense! Theres a term called old pedant, which refers to this kind of person. Su Luoxue immediately explained to Lu Xiaobu, "He is Professor Sun Ye, an old teacher at the school, definitely an old hand here. Even the principal sometimes has to give him some respect. That Zhang Peng must be his disciple." "Oh?" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows: "You mean Zhang Peng was sent by him?" "It shouldnt be. Professor Sun, though old-fashioned, is extremely upright! He wouldnt engage in such despicable acts." Su Luoxue assured him confidently: "However, your attendance at this class must have been arranged by him." "Silence!" Professor Sun Ye scolded, glancing over at Lu Xiaobus side. Lu Xue immediately stopped talking. Even she felt a bit intimidated! "Alright, lets begin roll call." Professor Sun Ye methodically started calling names. "Zhang Yong." "Here!" "Wu Fei." "Here!" "..." "Lu Xiaobu." "Here." Lu Xiaobu also shouted loudly. He trusted Su Luoxues words. Since Zhang Peng wasnt sent by this professor, he had a lot of respect for such academicians. After hearing the response, Professor Sun Ye slightly raised his eyes to look at Lu Xiaobu and nodded. The roll call was complete. Professor Sun Ye closed the attendance book: "Alright, today there are 12 absentees, points will be deducted." The students shivered again. No one dared to answer for others in his class. "Today, were going to discuss a movie that can be called an epic masterpiece, and you are very lucky because its creator is not far from you," said Professor Sun Ye with a stern face. "Sss!" A sudden sharp intake of breath echoed through the room. This old grump was notoriously harsh when it comes to films. Many domestic and international blockbusters had flaws in his eyes! He had even publicly statedThe Golden Fire Award is trash! Full of scandals! Fit to judge movies!? Because of this issue, he nearly had a fight with the former Emperor Electric professor, now dismissed, Fang Yunlong! "Which movie has earned such an honor!" "Its rare to hear such words from the old grouch!" "Could it be an ancient movie?!" "No, no, Professor Sun said its creator is close to us." "Wait a minute! I think I know." "Sss, could it be..." "If nothing goes wrong, it should be..." Everyones eyes turned towards Lu Xiaobu. They had guessed. The honored film was the one that shattered the Golden Fire Award, yet still hasnt won any awards but remains the Crownless King in peoples heartsA Chinese Odyssey! And its creator was Lu Xiaobu! They all guessed, and Lu Xiaobu must have guessed too! However, he was a bit flustered! Holy crap! Does this mean they want him to go on stage? What the hell?! He talks about movies? Talk my ass! You might as well have a fight with me! What to do? What to do?! Urgent online, quite anxious! Should I create a scene? No, no, they are praising him, cant create a scene! Then what to do? He only knows how to create scenes! Chapter 264 - 263: Smashing the Place Again [Extra - for 20,000 Recommendation Votes, Fifth Release] Chapter 264: Chapter 263: Smashing the Place Again [Extra Chapter for 20,000 Recommendation Votes, Fifth Release]"It seems youve all guessed it, so lets have Lu Xiaobu come up." Sun Ye said with a straight face. Ever since the beginning of this semester, before school even started, when "A Chinese Odyssey" was just released, he had set his sights on Lu Xiaobu, on Lu Xiaobus "A Chinese Odyssey"! He had asked the director Chen Feiyang, and Chen Feiyang said that the script was entirely conceived by Lu Xiaobu alone, he was just executing it. He believed what Chen Feiyang said. So, he went to study all the information about Lu Xiaobu. Oh, right, he recently even played two rounds of League of Heroes. Of course, he definitely messed up. But he didnt care. Well, his teammates cared! He wanted to know Lu Xiaobus thought process. He wanted to understand under what circumstances could someone produce such a brilliant script! But he failed! He gained nothing. So, he had to rely on Lu Xiaobu himself to tell the story! Therefore, from the start of the semester, he looked forward to Lu Xiaobu attending class every day, even just showing his face would do! And the result... Lu Xiaobu didnt attend a single class the entire semester. What a letdown! In the end, he couldnt take it anymore and went to Principal Li, insisting that he must find a way to get Lu Xiaobu to come to class. He wanted to talk about "A Chinese Odyssey"! He had to talk about it, he couldnt resist any longer! "Im done for." Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but curse under his breath. Just as he expected! He knew he shouldnt have agreed to Principal Li! Now hes like a duck being pushed onto a perch, with no way down! What could he talk about? He had nothing to say! "System, are you there? Can the Luck Aura solve this problem?" Lu Xiaobu asked anxiously. "Its probably hopeless! You forgot, Luck Aura only changes the probability of choices, it cant create something out of nothing!" The system also felt helpless. "What should I do then?" Lu Xiaobu was in a panic. System: "Bluff your way through! Use your talent for bamboozling! Go for it, Im rooting for you!" Lu Xiaobu stomped in frustration: "You come out, I swear I wont beat you to death!" However, speaking of which, he couldnt disregard the face of Professor Sun. So, he could only walk towards the stage. Of course, he still activated the Luck Aura, hoping it could have some effect. The wasteful amount started to plummet at a rate of one hundred thousand per second! He stepped onto the stage! "Hello, Mr. Lu, Ive been waiting for you for a long time." Professor Sun immediately expressed his utmost respect, calling him Mister and slightly bowing to offer a handshake! When Lu Xiaobu was off stage, he was a student and could be called by his name. But on stage, it was different! Seeing this, Lu Xiaobu felt both happy and awkward. Happy because he got the respect of an old scholar who had once fiercely criticized the Golden Fire Award, and that was a great honor! After all, this was much harder to earn than winning an award! The awkward part was, this kind of high praise was killing him with kindness, the higher he was lifted, the harder the fall! The students mouths twitched. "Professor Sun is too terrifying!" "Directly calling him Mister?" "I think I know why Zhang Peng was targeting Lu Xiaobu just now." "I guess so too, Zhang Peng has such a high opinion of himself, believing that knowledge is everything, how could he accept his teacher calling Lu Xiaobu Mister." "Scary Lu Xiaobu, pitiful Zhang Peng!" "..." What they didnt notice was that Zhang Peng was actually not far away. Right now, his originally calm face was flushed with red! Thats right, he was jealous! Professor Sun was the teacher he respected the most, and he had always taken pride in being Suns disciple. He wanted Professor Sun to be proud of him! However, for the past six months, Professor Sun hadnt stopped praising Lu Xiaobu at every turn! How could he not be jealous, how could he let it go?! Dont think nerds dont have tempers! On the contrary, these quiet individuals can be the scariest when they blow up. As the saying goes, a biting dog... cough cough cough, wrong analogy! Everyone, just take it as it is! So, he exploded! S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Teacher, just a wastrel, what merits and abilities warrant such treatment from you?!" Zhang Peng let out his roar! Instantly! The entire lecture hall fell silent, staring at Zhang Peng with their mouths agape. Damn! Awesome! That line was really something! Not only did it insult Lu Xiaobu, but it also slapped his teachers face. After all, Professor Sun has already bowed, what are you trying to imply saying this now?! Is this kid crazy? Done for, this child has turned stupid from studying too much! Professor Suns face also turned purple with rage: "You ungrateful wretch!" How did he end up accepting such a bookworm as a disciple? Even dumber than him?! But they were all either furious or shocked. However, Lu Xiaobu was actually delighted! Hey, not bad! Not bad! Who says there were no prerequisites? Here it comes! So, he seized the opportunity while everyone was still in shock, immediately took advantage of the situation, and rebuked: "Before learning how to do things, one must learn how to be human. Someone who does not respect the teacher and the way is not fit to make movies!" He spoke with outrage! Then, Lu Xiaobu said to Professor Sun: "Professor Sun, Im sorry, Im not in a good mood, lets do this another time!" With that, Lu Xiaobu swiftly headed towards the exit! It looked like he was seething with anger, but in reality, he was making a hasty escape! Fuck, run, run! Indeed, Im still good at ruining the scene! Saying not to make a scene... And then! Made a scene again! Watching Lu Xiaobus retreating figure, the students and Professor Sun were stunned into silence. They couldnt help but regard him with newfound respect. "Who said Lu Xiaobu was a wastrel? Just this reverence for teachers is enough for some people to learn for a lifetime!" "Look at him, even in such a situation didnt forget to apologize to Professor Sun, so cool!" "This is what a real man is like!" "A true man, who can bend and stretch, state his opinions, yet always maintain propriety! No wonder he could make A Chinese Odyssey; indeed, no ones success comes without a cause!" "So cool!" "..." Though they were all moved, Professor Sun, the old academic, was even more touched to the point of tears: "This is a true filmmaker! I finally understand why he could create A Chinese Odyssey, I get it now!" Saying this, he couldnt help but give Zhang Peng, who was still at a loss, a look, and let out a deep sigh. The gap, such a gap! Maybe this Zhang Peng could become a teacher in the future, but to be a filmmaker, he is way too lacking! Suddenly! He loudly slapped his hand: "Mr. Lu, no, Teacher Lu, have a good journey, I want to become your disciple!" He had searched his whole life, and finally found his lifes goal! Theres no seniority among students, the one who achieves mastery first shall be the teacher! If he missed such an opportunity, hed regret it for the rest of his life! So, he quickly chased after him! The students were even more dumbfounded! "Damn, did I hear that wrong? Professor Sun wants to take a master?!" "My God! Has he gone mad?!" "Professor Sun has taught all his life, can be said to have students all over the world, others are excited to death to recognize him as a teacher, and now he actually wants to take a master?!" "I can only imagine, if Lu Xiaobu really accepts Professor Sun as a disciple, a new tycoon will emerge in the film industry, or even the entire entertainment industry!" "I think it would be better to call him the Grandmaster than a tycoon!" "..." They were all shocked! But Lu Xiaobu was in panic! Fuck, shut off the Luck Aura! Whats going to happen now? Giving a lecture was troublesome enough, now to take a disciple? So! He walked even faster! Absolutely cannot let him catch up! Run, run! Chapter 265 - 264: Bathed in the Spring Breeze [1st Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 265: Chapter 264: Bathed in the Spring Breeze [1st Update, Please Subscribe]Just some time ago, Lu Xiaobu had Fan Xi fleeing in panic. Today, however, he himself is compelled by Professor Sun to make a hasty escape as well. It must be said, what goes around comes around, and quickly at that! Snicker! Moreover, this Professor Sun is incredibly persistent. He followed Lu Xiaobu all the way out of the university. Lu Xiaobu got into a car. He also hailed a taxi. Following right behind. By the looks of it, he had a do-or-die attitude. "Shit, Zhang Meng, to the airport, heading to Xiangjiang." Lu Xiaobu immediately gave the command. "Yes! Young Master!" Zhang Meng drove the car straight to the airport. In the shortest time, the private plane took off. DestinationXiangjiang. "Phew! Heh heh, cant catch up now, can you?" Lu Xiaobu looked through the airplane window at Professor Sun inside the airport, stomping his feet anxiously, and smiled smugly. This trip to Xiangjiang was not entirely about avoiding Professor Sun. It was also to pay a visit to the He Family and to look for her clues. Of course, because of the hasty departure, only Zhang Meng, Li Jin, and Su Luoxue were with Lu Xiaobu at the moment. Liang Lan and the others were not informed in time. ... The plane landed in Xiangjiang. It must be said, this city is one of the worlds freest economies and most competitive cities, enjoying an extremely high reputation worldwide, rated as a global first-tier city by GaWC, and is exceptionally charming. Not to mention anything else, just take this temperature, for example. Cool and dry, it feels very comfortable. "So comfy." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily, removing the heavy clothing from his body, and extended a hand towards Su Luoxue. "Ah?" Su Luoxue was baffled, not understanding what he meant. Lu Xiaobu stretched out his hand again. "Um..." After pondering for a while, Su Luoxue had a mental lapse and actually bent over slightly, leaned forward, placed her pretty face in Lu Xiaobus hand, and asked dumbfoundedly, "Like this?" "Pfft!" Lu Xiaobu almost spat blood from the sheer contrast in cuteness from Su Luoxue, this ice maiden. Has this girl lost her mind? "I..." Su Luoxue also realized what had happened. Instantly, her entire pretty face flushed to her neck. What was she doing? Indeed, having stayed by Lu Xiaobus side for so long, her mind was not working right. "Silly girl, Im talking about clothes, clothes." Lu Xiaobu said cheerfully. Now that the temperature has changed, it is natural to change into attire suitable for this place. "Oh, oh, oh, where are the clothes?" Su Luoxue asked blankly. "Ah..." Zhang Meng couldnt help but interject: "Shouldnt you ask the Young Master? Liang Lan usually prepares this stuff, and now with Liang Lan not here, you as the secretary naturally have to do it." "Ah?! I didnt know that!" Su Luoxue panicked, feeling a bit at a loss. In this moment, she inexplicably gave off a sense of adorable cluelessness. This was actually her first time being taken on a long trip, and there were many things she still wasnt clear about. After all, these preparations were usually handled by Liang Lan, and she had not been instructed about these matters. Actually, this was a bit of selfishness on Liang Lans part, to prevent herself from being completely replaced. "Alright, alright, then lets go shopping." Lu Xiaobu stretched, not saying much else. "Oh." Su Luoxue once again adopted her ice maiden demeanor, beginning to look for the necessary shop. This she knew how to do. Xiangjiangs shopping streets are numerous, practically everywhere. Soon, Su Luoxue found a shopping street nearby. At the shopping street. They entered a mens clothing store. Lu Xiaobu doesnt recognize any brands, but they seem to be quite high-end. "Hello, sir, how may I assist you?" The sales associate greeted him with courteous politeness. "Id like to buy some clothes that are suitable to wear now, any recommendations?" Lu Xiaobu asked with a smile. "Certainly, please take a look over here." The sales associate began showing Lu Xiaobu the clothes. Hmm, no looking down upon him, no arrogance, no discrimination. When businesses open their doors, why would they chase you away if youre not causing trouble? With the help of Su Luoxue and the sales associate, Lu Xiaobu found some clothes he was quite satisfied with. Though they werent as comfortable as tailor-made, they were still pretty nice. "Sir, you really look handsome, this outfit suits you very well." The sales associate expressed her admiration. "Stop flattering me, I know its your job to compliment customers, haha. But I like it." Lu Xiaobu chuckled, enjoying the compliment. "No no no, Im being sincere this time." The sales associate was quite humorous too. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu cheerfully said: "Im not too familiar with the customs here, would giving a tip be offensive?" After all, Xiangjiang is different from the Mainland, theres no need to seek trouble when one is bored. Especially now, he only has this silly girl by his side; its too bothersome to deal with. So, its better to ask one more question. "Not at all." The sales associates eyes lit up, she caught the hint in his words. "Then good, heres a reward, five thousand." Lu Xiaobu immediately said. Li Jin quickly stepped forward with the money. "Wow." The sales associate took a sharp breath: "No no no, thats too much, sir." Tips are usually fifty or a hundred. Who would directly give five thousand?! Thats practically as much as her commission. "Take it, its a small gesture." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand nonchalantly. "Thank you then." Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The sales associate expressed her gratitude. When facing Lu Xiaobu, she always felt like basking in the spring breeze. Though generous, he didnt have that nouveau riche vibe. Perhaps this is what truly wealthy people are like. The other sales associates in the store were watching her with extreme envy. What a great customer shes met! Handsome, rich, and polite. If only all customers were like him. But of course, that was just wishful thinking. "By the way, I have a question." Lu Xiaobu suddenly remembered something. "Please ask," the sales associate replied respectfully. "What does ɹ mean? Ive heard many people saying it." Lu Xiaobu curiously inquired. "It means thank you, appreciation, that sort of thing, a polite expression." The sales associate explained. "Oh, then ɹ." Lu Xiaobu applied it immediately. "No no no, Im the one who should be saying ɹ." The sales associate quickly waved her hand, bowing in gratitude. They were getting along nicely, but that doesnt mean all customers are like Lu Xiaobu. "Hey, take that down for me to take a look." A arrogant voice spoke up, addressing the sales associate next to Lu Xiaobu. "Im sorry, sir, I am currently serving this customer, could I find someone else to assist you?" The sales associate frowned at the command-like tone, feeling somewhat annoyed. Looking at Lu Xiaobu, then at this person, what a difference! Still, she waved over a colleague to serve the new customer. "What do you mean? Hes a customer, and Im not? Am I short of money?" The sales associate didnt reply, but the customer became more agitated: "Ive had enough of your attitude since I arrived, what, looking down on us Mainland people? People who speak Mandarin cant shop here, is that it? For those who speak English or Cantonese, you all start fawning and acting like slaves? What nonsense!" Lu Xiaobu frowned upon hearing this. He couldnt just pretend he didnt hear that. Chapter 266 - 265 Local Black Meets Local Black [2nd Update, Subscribe Requested] Chapter 266: Chapter 265 Local Black Meets Local Black [2nd Update, Subscribe Requested]"Sorry, sir, if you are not satisfied with our service, you are welcome to express your opinions, but we never look down on anyone. We are all people from the Heavenly Dynasty, no need for mutual admiration or disdain!" The saleslady voiced out her own opinion. Loud and clear! It has to be said that this city, full of trials and tribulations, has bred its unique charm. People living here are more daring in speaking out and standing by their attitudes! "Good! I like what you said. Li Jin, tip her, ten thousand!" Lu Xiaobu cheered instantly. Not to mention anything else, just this statement that we are all people from the Heavenly Dynasty alone is worth a thumbs-up from Lu Xiaobu. "Thank you, thank you so much!" The saleslady expressed her gratitude again. "So its about money! Like I dont have any? Its just a tip! Twenty thousand!" The nouveau riche Ye Zhuo exploded! He felt he wasnt treated with the respect he deserved! With that, he pulled out twenty thousand and threw it at the saleslady. Smack! The money hit the saleslady. And fell to the ground. The saleslady, trembling with anger, still bent down to pick up the money. "I thought you were all impressive, just a bunch of money-seekers after all." Ye Zhuo sneered, looking at the saleslady squatting on the ground. He was the kind of person who got rich overnight and forgot who he was when he had some money! In his view, there wasnt anything money couldnt buy. However. "Sir, please take it back, I dont want your money, thank you." The saleslady returned the money to Ye Zhuo. This made Ye Zhuo immediately boil with rage! Lu Xiaobus tip, the saleslady accepted politely. But she refused his money?! "What do you mean? Looking down on me? Looking down on us from the Mainland? Is Xiangjiang money real money and ours from the Mainland not? Think youre foreigners just because you followed a couple of them for a couple of days, thinking youre all that now?" Ye Zhuo ranted angrily. "Shut up! Dont use your Mainland background as an excuse for your rudeness, dont freaking embarrass us Mainlanders!!" Lu Xiaobu got angry and reprimanded sharply. He really didnt know where such a sense of superiority came from. Xiangjiang has its unique culture, and if you disrespect it when youre here, how do you expect them to respect you! On what grounds?! He could guarantee, this kind of person represents exactly those who badmouth others online! Looking down on one place and then another. When in Xiangjiang, looking down on Xiangjiang. And then go back and again complain, saying Xiangjiang looks down on the Mainland! Regional discrimination is the worst! "People of Xiangjiang, step aside! You look down on people from the Mainland anyways, then dont speak Mandarin!" Ye Zhuo continued shouting. He had just heard Lu Xiaobu say "thank you" in a Xiangjiang dialect, assuming Lu Xiaobu was from Xiangjiang. "People of Xiangjiang? Although I dont want to explain to you, I feel I need to clarify, I am also from the Mainland!" Lu Xiaobu looked coldly at Ye Zhuo lying on the ground and said. "Youre from the Mainland? Then youre a traitor, a running dog!" Ye Zhuo cursed distastefully. "Zhang Meng!" Lu Xiaobus expression turned icy cold. "Bang!" Zhang Meng went up with a kick and sent Ye Zhuo flying from the store to the entrance. "What do you mean by traitor!? This is the land of the Heavenly Dynasty! We are all people of the Heavenly Dynasty! Traitor!?" Lu Xiaobu said furiously: "If you dare spout more nonsense! I, Lu Xiaobu, promise here, you wont see tomorrows sun!" The onlooking crowd and the salesladies suddenly burst into applause, each raising their thumbs! "Well said!" "Yes, this is the Heavenly Dynasty, what traitor? What foreigner?! They dont exist!" "Good beating! The kind who sow discord, they deserve it!" "That saleslady, please pack up the clothes that got knocked over just now, Ill take them!" "Yeah, yeah, get me one too, it doesnt matter if it fits, I want it for the memory!" "..." Before Lu Xiaobu even had Li Jin pay compensation. The clothes were divided among the crowd. Not a single piece was left. Even the salesladies, arguing with the reasoning that the store needed a memento, barely managed to keep one! This scene was really heartwarming and comfortable! "You f*..." Ye Zhuo, who was hit, originally wanted to curse, but upon hearing the name Lu Xiaobu, his body shivered instantly. He rubbed his eyes, his pupils dilated, in disbelief he took out his phone to check. Then! Cold sweat broke out! Its Lu Xiaobu!? Is it really Lu Xiaobu!? Did he just say Lu Xiaobu is not from the Mainland?! Now he wants to give himself two slaps! However, as one wave settled, another arose. "Yo, two Mainland dogs are fighting?" A voice even more arrogant than Ye Zhuos came over. With the arrival of the voice, a convertible sports car pulled up at the door. A young man, wearing sunglasses and with an arrogant demeanor, stepped down from the car. He looked like a rich second generation. "Indeed, wherever you are, there is trash!" Lu Xiaobus face darkened angrily. People from Xiangjiang around were also extremely angry! One trash after another! "F*ck, Mainland dogs, who are you calling?" Rich second generation, keeps mentioning "Mainland dogs." Displaying that non-existent sense of superiority utterly. Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to speak, just waved his hand. "Smack!" Zhang Meng swiftly moved forward and also kicked. Bang! This piece of trash, kicked together with the earlier one. The surrounding people of Xiangjiang cheered again. "Good, well-hit! Right, they are all trash!" "It really disgraces us Xiangjiang people, all those comments online are caused by your kind of trash." "We are all one family, who is looking down on whom!" "You two really match each other!" "Disgrace! Shameful!" "..." "Mainland dog, you dare to hit me! Do you know who I am?" The rich second generation roared while clutching his chest. However, something unexpected happened. Before Lu Xiaobu could even speak, Ye Zhuo spoke up first, roaring angrily: "F*ck, who are you cursing!? Who is a Mainland dog? And hitting you, serves you right! You trash! Do you know who that is? Thats Lu Xiaobu! Young Master Bu!" "Do you f*cking dare to curse me!? What are you! What f*cking Lu Xiaobu, I dont recognize! Remember, this is Xiangjiang!" The rich second generation was also infuriated. "Damn it, Ill beat the shit out of you!" Ye Zhuo charged and threw himself on the rich second generation, exchanging blows. "Motherf*cker!" The rich second generation also fought back. Thus, the two trash tangled and fought. This scene left the surrounding people stunned. "What...what kind of situation is this?" "Two people showing off their sense of superiority fighting?" "Good, regional haters meet regional haters!" "..." And then a foreigner came over, curiously looked: "Are they fighting?" "Get lost! Our fight, none of your freaking business!" Both trash shouted in unison. Foreigner: "..." People around were going crazy! Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched. What should he say?! sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Forget it, let them fight first, deal with them one by one afterwards! Meanwhile, a group of people appeared in the distance! The situation escalated! Chapter 269 - 268 What the Heck Is This Thing [Extra - for ScHatZ’s Generous Rewards, 5th Update] Chapter 269: Chapter 268 What the Heck Is This Thing [Extra Chapter for ScHatZs Generous Rewards, 5th Update]Ye Zhuo went to deal with the clarification matters, while Li Xide was discussing with Liang Lan the matter of Shadows entry into the Xiangjiang Market under the protection of Li Jin. They didnt come just for fun this time; there truly were matters to be taken care of. However, before leaving, Liang Lan whispered and instructed Su Luoxue at length for quite a while. After finishing, the whole person of Su Luoxue was dumbfounded. Holy crap! Sorry, as a lady, I shouldnt swear, but she really wanted to. She knew for the first time where the gap between her and Liang Lan lay. Liang Lan had Lu Xiaobus various life habits down to a tee. She finally understood why Lu Xiaobu liked to bring Liang Lan so much. Because everything was taken care of, it was comfortable! ... Following Chen Kun, Lu Xiaobu arrived at Victoria Port, a gathering place for Xiangjiang celebrities and tycoons. They came to a relatively secluded private club with high confidentiality. Even Chen Kun had to show his membership card to be allowed entry. And Lu Xiaobu was allowed in only because he was vouched for by five members. It seems these celebrities and tycoons go to great lengths for their privacy. After all, the private lives of stars are what fans love to gossip about most. Oh right, its worth mentioning that they brought the dumbass as well, and now Su Luoxue is looking after him. "Xiaobu, this place is absolutely safe, you dont have to worry about exposure, you can play as much as you like." Chen Kun revealed a look that all men understand. We are all men; theres no need to be too secretive. "Brother Chen, do you think I need to?" Lu Xiaobu spread his hands. "Eh... maybe not." Chen Kun glanced back at the three women following Lu Xiaobu and got the picture. Lu Xiaobu doesnt need it; looking at this lineup, Chen Kun was even a bit envious! The two chatted and walked inside with a server leading the way. Interestingly, Lu Xiaobu didnt see another soul on the way. "Xiaobu, you might not know, but the route each person takes in this club is different every time, completely avoiding any potential encounters with others." Chen Kun noticed Lu Xiaobus confusion and pointed at the servers earpiece with a smile. "Not bad." Lu Xiaobu nodded. No wonder! Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They really go to great lengths! They went through the corridor and arrived at a pre-booked private room. Before they even entered, they heard loud cries of praise. "Good!" "Fantastic!" "Beautiful!" "Art! Its art!" "..." Hearing these cries, Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched a bit. The cheering sounded just like the praise he received outside for his shoddy calligraphy. "Brother Chen, what is this?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Oh, this is an artist who was supposed to perform when you arrived, but it seems they couldnt wait and started already." Chen Kun smiled and explained, "Brother Lu, remember, show respect to the artist later!" "Of course." Lu Xiaobu readily agreed. He always had immense respect for knowledge. Since its an artist, respect is only right. Chen Kun nodded in satisfaction and pushed open the private room door, peeked inside, then turned to whisper a reminder, "The masters performance probably hasnt ended yet; Ill introduce you to everyone later." "Sure, no problem." Lu Xiaobu nodded and followed Chen Kun inside. Then! He saw an idiot... Err, I mean, an artist! This artist had flowing long hair and an incredibly dense beard. Simply put, except for the face, he was practically a lion because of the mane of hair surrounding him! Lu Xiaobu could let that pass. After all, artists think differently, and he could understand. But what Lu Xiaobu found ridiculous was the so-called art. A line of beauties were carrying a huge canvas. This lion, oh, the artist, was holding a balloon filled with ink, pressing the nozzle with his hand to let out just a small opening to spray the ink. Of course, that was normal too. After all, there were those who painted with strange things. Lu Xiaobu had seen someone who painted landscapes with his hands, which were actually quite beautiful. But! What this guy was spraying... How should I put it, it was pure crap! Even worse than the lousy words Lu Xiaobu wrote. Yet, just like that. Those onlookers kept on applauding. Every move this lion made, they would shout their approval. "Good!" "Amazing!" "Good!" Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched with annoyance. Could someone please explain to me, whats so good about this? What on earth did you all see?! However, Lu Xiaobu still managed to suppress his desire to criticize. After all, it wasnt unheard of for a story to have a twist at the end. What if there was a plot twist in the end. Then... Amid the sounds of cheers. It ended. "How embarrassing." The lion slapped a balloon onto the canvas with a smack, then casually threw it, getting ink everywhere in the private booth. He carried out this utterly idiotic move as if he were doing something incredibly suave. He even had the gall to turn around and bow with his hands clasped together. Seeing this, Lu Xiaobu felt even more bothered! Remember the previous knowledge about the hand clasping ritual? Right fist in the left palm means a friendly match. Left palm over right fist signifies a duel to the death. This guy is doing it the latter way! Whats the deal? Are you dueling someone to the death?! Writers normally greet with a cupped-hands salute! Not with fists and palms like this! Damn it! However. The celebrities started to give rousing applause, not excluding Chen Kun. "Good! Just fantastic!" "Brilliant! So magnificent!" "Simply the greatest art of mankind!" "Master, could you sell it to me? Ill pay a million!" "You think you can buy the masters art for a million? Ill bid two million!" "..." Amidst the admiration of the crowd, Ge Wen remained unfazed, like a true master his demeanor showed no ripples! But there was still a hint of smugness in his eyes. He looked around. Immediately, he noticed the only person who wasnt clapping or cheering and who evidently had something to say: Lu Xiaobu. "Oh? Do you want to say something?" Ge Wens brows furrowed as he turned to look at Lu Xiaobu. "I wanted to say, what kind of bullshit is this?!" The words Lu Xiaobu had been holding back for so long were finally spoken. He pointed to that so-called "art" that was utter crap: "Can you tell me what this painting is supposed to be?" "Painting? This is not a painting, this is calligraphy! You cant even recognize this! And you dare to be so bold?!" Ge Wen exploded in anger, rebuking loudly. "Calligraphy? Thats even more bullshit! This is supposed to be calligraphy? Youre drawing talismans!" Lu Xiaobu wouldnt indulge him: "You tell me, what characters did you write?!" "You!" Ge Wen was so berated by Lu Xiaobu he was nearly choking with fury! He had always been the one who was flattered by others. When had he ever seen someone like this?! He was so criticized that he couldnt even respond! Because, he himself didnt know what he had written! Listening to Lu Xiaobus candid words, the celebrities expressions changed, and they began to offer consolation. However, nobody noticed the hint of human-like mockery in the eyes of the dumbass cradled in Su Luoxues arms. It glanced at its owner Lu Xiaobu, then back at the piece of incomprehensible calligraphy, the so-called art piece. Suddenly, the corner of its mouth curled up into an unmistakably human-like mischievous grin! Chapter 270 - 269: The Art of Dumbass [First Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 270: Chapter 269: The Art of Dumbass [First Update, Please Subscribe]The stars present all had a change of expression when they heard Lu Xiaobus words. "Mr. Lu, this is a master!" "Yeah, you cant say that, this is art." "Dont talk like that." "..." Todays welcome party was held for Lu Xiaobu, so they couldnt possibly not recognize him. Thats why they were all quietly persuading, not daring to scold loudly. Chen Kun had a helpless look on his face: "Lu Xiaobu, didnt you promise me to show some respect to the master?" "Respect my ass, what kind of master is he?" Lu Xiaobu snorted with disdain: "Playing crazy, selling dumb, a Jianghu swindler." "Dont use your ignorance as your asset, if you dont understand, dont talk nonsense!" Ge Wen roared at Lu Xiaobu. "Dont understand? Alright, I dont understand, you interpret it for me!" Lu Xiaobu was amused by the accusation of his ignorance. "Youre not worthy of my interpretation. When you elevate your realm one day, we can talk!" Ge Wen retorted coldly. "Give an inch and theyll take a mile? I need to elevate my realm?!" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed. And at this moment. "Woof!" Dumbass suddenly barked and jumped down from Su Luoxues arms. He tugged on Lu Xiaobus pant leg. "Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu looked down at Dumbass and asked. "Woof woof woof!" Dumbass barked, glanced at the so-called art, then at the ground. Meaningwatch me. "How about it? Youre gonna make some art too?" Lu Xiaobu was amused: "Sure, lets be like some people who cant even interpret their own work, Ill interpret for you." "Woof!" Dumbass nodded his head. After barking, Dumbass stood upright on two legs, revealing his little ding-ding. Whoosh! He started to pee. Lu Xiaobu immediately started to provide an exaggerated commentary: "Its here! Its happened! Peeing! You heard right, its peeing! My Dumbass peeing! Brilliant!" Lu Xiaobus voice was exuberant, as if he saw some rare treasure. This voice echoed throughout the private room, changing the expressions of all the stars present. This was a slap in their faces! They also shouted like this when Ge Wen was creating art. This Lu Xiaobu was really doing whatever he wanted! They were here to welcome him today, yet he was slapping their faces?! And this was not the end. Ever since Dumbass had eaten that god-level dog food, he no longer behaved like a dog. This time, he was not just peeing. He peed while running. The urine wildly splashed across the floor. "See that? This is the legendary humanoid artillery, look at that brushwork, look at those lines, each stroke naturally perfect." Lu Xiaobu continued rambling on seriously on the side. Its just boasting, whos afraid of whom!? Master?! Can I not mock you now!? Telling me to elevate my realm? Youre on the same level as my Dumbass! Maybe even not as good as my Dumbass! "Great!" Zhang Meng and the others were egging him on. They shouted out loud. "Great!" "Amazing!" "This is art!" "..." These cheers turned everyones faces green. Chen Kun was no exception. This was clearly an unabashed slap in their faces! Especially Ge Wen, who was so angry he was about to explode: "What a farce! Bastard! Youre insulting art, you dont belong here." "Woof woof!" Dumbass flashed a smug smile and continued his painting. "Great!" "Very good!" "Fantastic!" "..." At first, the celebrities faces turned green. But gradually, their expressions changed, becoming filled with uncertainty and disbelief. "This..." "Hiss, even though it looks like nonsense, it seems..." "No way!" "Amazing!" "..." Because what was now presented before them was not a chaotic scribble, but shapes that had gradually taken form. ... Soon. Xiaobu shuddered, shaking its body. The painting was finished. And what was lain out before everyone was shockingly a landscape painting! Although there were many flaws. But indeed, everyone saw it! This was absolutely a landscape painting! A landscape painting created by a dog using its urine. They looked at the painting and then glanced back at the nonsensical piece by the master, no, his calligraphy. Suddenly, a sensation known as testicular pain emerged! Although they didnt want to admit it. But! Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It seemed... This dog... Had actually painted... Better than Ge Wen! After all, at least they could understand it! So, their gazes all became strangely amused. "Woof woof woof!" Xiaobu, having finished the painting, wasnt done yet; it even taunted Ge Wen with a series of barks. "My Xiaobu says, Kid, see if my painting isnt better than yours." Lu Xiaobu took on the role of translator. "Nonsense! Aside from the fact that the painting is bullshit! The words youve just uttered are simply using the dog as a pretext for a personal attack on me; Im going to sue you!" Ge Wen was so angry he was nearly mad, the hair around his head all standing on end. "Personal attack? You think I have the time and energy to personally attack you? What was just said are purely Xiaobus own words." Lu Xiaobu let out a scoff, then looked at Xiaobu: "Right, Xiaobu?" "Woof woof!" Xiaobu nodded, agreeing. "Pfft!" The celebrities lost their minds. "My God! Lu, can you actually communicate with your dog?!" "A dog, and so human-like?" "Lu, youre too incredible!" "..." "Woof woof woof!" Xiaobu barked discontentedly again. "My Xiaobu says, Please stop changing the subject and lets return to the essence of art, shall we? Because, its about to dry." Lu Xiaobu said, barely holding back his laughter. The celebrities went mad. Return to the essence of art, my ass! Its about to dry, my foot! Do you even realize that this painting was made with urine?! "This is preposterous!" Ge Wen completely lost it: "Art? You dont deserve to speak of the word art! This is not art! Because, its worthless!" "Alright then, how do you propose we judge its value?" Lu Xiaobu asked with a sneer. "Although the vulgar entity of money may taint art, money indeed reflects value, and someone just bought my calligraphy for two million. How about yours?" Ge Wen said with bloodshot eyes. Today, he had been thoroughly humiliated. Being scorned by others was one thing! But to be scorned by a damn dog! If he didnt reclaim his dignity, he felt he might actually have a heart attack. "Two million?" Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a cold smile: "Competing in terms of money with me? Forget it, I wont use money to crush you, so Im not accused of bullying. Ill say it now, if anyone wants to buy Xiaobus painting for five million, are there any takers?" "Five million? You want to sell it for five million?! Hahaha, have you lost your mind?!" Ge Wen immediately seized the taunt to start mocking relentlessly. He thought he finally caught his opponents weakness! He had won! He believed there absolutely wasnt a single person foolish enough to spend money on a painting done by a dog with urine, and that was also about to dry. However... He was the only one laughing at the scene. Chapter 271 - 270 Xiangjiang Market Opening [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 271: Chapter 270 Xiangjiang Market Opening [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]Ge Wen looked at the strange atmosphere and was startled, "Youre not really going to spend five million to buy this thing, are you?" The celebrities laughed bitterly, but they all nodded in agreement. This was not a matter of whether the item was considered art or whether it was good. It was a matter of face. Since Lu Xiaobu had set the terms, they had no choice but to buy it. Lets not even mention theres still a painting, even if Lu Xiaobu farted and said he wanted to sell it for five million! They would still have to buy it! Everyone is out here trying to make a living, theres no need to refute someones face over some money. "Have you all lost your minds? Youre actually spending money on this trash?" Ge Wen exploded. He couldnt tolerate a painting of a dog peeing being sold for more than his art. This was simply an insult to him. "Watch your words." Chen Kun frowned and rebuked. "Watch my words? What are you to rebuke me?! Art is priceless!" Ge Wen was still resisting. Today, having been face-slapped by a dog, he had completely lost face! So, he tore off his mask, biting like a mad dog! "Priceless? Bullshit!" Chen Kun finally got angry: "Look at what youve written, what the hell is that? Art? Let me tell you the truth, if it werent for your backer, Young Master He, who would bother with you? It looks like a bunch of scribbles!" Chen Kun finally spoke the truth. Indeed, just like they were willing to spend five million to establish a good relationship with Lu Xiaobu. The reason they reluctantly praised Ge Wen was also because of face and power. Not because they appreciated what kind of bullshit art it was. Those celebrities nodded secretly as well. This was the real truth. Otherwise, would they be idle and wasted, spending money on something thats worse than crap?! Something even the creator himself couldnt decipher?! Hahaha! However, to Ge Wen, Chen Kuns words meant nothing: "You are all scum, actors, bastards..." He had completely lost his sanity. His face was already battered, so what did he care about sanity!? "The master is tired, someone, please take the master away." Chen Kun helplessly arranged. Although doing so was a bit of a slap in the face to Lu Xiaobu. But he had to do it. He couldnt let this guy stay any longer; otherwise, who knew if he would piss off Lu Xiaobu, who acted recklessly without care, and whether they would be able to see the sun tomorrow. Ge Wen was escorted out by Chen Kuns bodyguards! Calm was restored here once again. Lu Xiaobu didnt say anything; after all, this was someone elses territory. "Ah, Brother Lu, you say this painting is five million, right? Please be sure to sell it to me." Chen Kun immediately took out a check and said cheerfully. He was making it up to Lu Xiaobu. "Five million? Brother Chen, youre undervaluing it. I bid six million!" Another celebrity also flattered. "Hey, Old Zhou, do you really have to compete with me? I bid seven million!" Chen Kun immediately raised the price. "Alright, alright, lets leave it at that." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. As if he couldnt tell, they were deliberately driving up the price until he was satisfied. He wasnt really lacking this money. So just a gesture was sufficient. "Woof!" However, the dumbass suddenly barked and stared at the check. With a greedy look on its face. "What? You want it?" Lu Xiaobu suddenly laughed: "This is a check, you cant withdraw money with it!" "Woof woof woof!" The dumbass stood up and argued. This is what I earned; it should be mine. I cant withdraw money, but I can have Zhang Meng and others help to withdraw it. "Hey, you dumbass think youre so high and mighty now, what do you need the money for? If you can tell me, Ill give it to you." sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu said cheerfully. This dumbass has no worries about food and drink! What does he need the money for? "Woof woof woof." Dumbassnone of your business. "Alright, alright, since the money was indeed earned by you, Ill give it to you." Lu Xiaobu stuffed the check into dumbasss possession. He was really curious to see what the dumbass would spend the money on. It felt like it would be quite interesting. The scene left the celebrities present staring in amazement. Although it was just a few million, they didnt care about the sum. But, they had never given millions to a dog before, for a dog to spend. Moreover, they were really wondering, how on earth did you two communicate?! And at this moment, Su Luoxue suddenly remembered the task arranged by Liang Lan, so she whispered to Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master, Sister Lan said if its possible, to get them to help endorse our Shadow Blade product." Lu Xiaobu nodded and casually asked the celebrities. The celebrities naturally agreed. They had just refused Lu Xiaobus face, and compensating a few million was just a trivial matter, now that Lu Xiaobu was asking them to help, they agreed without hesitation. ... Lu Xiaobu was dining here. And back home, it was stirring a heated discussion. "Lu Xiaobu Condemns Regional Discrimination" "We are all people of the Heavenly Dynasty, no one should look down on anyone else!" "Lu Xiaobu, a true patriot" "Both Sides of the Strait Are Family" "Xiangjiang expresses high appreciation for Lu Xiaobu, believing he has said what they wanted to say" "..." These pieces of news swiftly dominated all the headlines, open any news outlet or any TV channel, and you see this kind of news. Netizens also praised him highly! "Great! I havent seen the news yet, but Im going to say Lu Xiaobu is awesome! Once you finish the news, youll come back and like this comment!" Indeed, this comment remained at the top of the hot comments, with the number of likes staying high! Thats right, the prophet got it right, everyone who saw the news obediently returned to give him a like. Lu Xiaobu is awesome! "Lu Xiaobu is so cool, isnt he?" "And that sales lady, her words really set my heart ablaze!" "Exactly, the most beautiful sales lady, were all people from the Heavenly Dynasty, no one needs to be respected or looked down upon!" "Young Master Bu did the right thing, and the sales lady said the right thing!" "This is our Great Heavenly Dynasty!" "Die, regional discriminators!" "I hate regional discrimination the most, which place doesnt have bad people? Or good people, why define an entire region by the actions of a few?" "Support the previous comment, but, Japan, lifelong hate, no explanation!" "Eh... everyone has a lumbar disc, why is yours so prominent!?" Not only the Mainland was hotly debating. Xiangjiang was also fervently discussing. "Good! Very good!" "This is a truly patriotic person!" "Right, have you heard? Shadow Blade is Lu Xiaobus enterprise!" "What!? Alright, say no more, Im off to queue!" "Wait for me, I wanted to buy a Shadow Blade already, now I want it even more!" "..." Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded. Xiangjiang, known as a shopping paradise, began to queue up one after another for a product that hadnt even hit the shelves yet! You can imagine, once the Shadow Blade goes on sale. The sales volume will be absolutely terrifying! Liang Lan, who was researching how to break into the Xiangjiang Market with Shadow Blade, saw these news and immediately burst into laughter. The Young Master is still so magical, in less than a day in Xiangjiang, he completely opened up the market here. This is great, were going to make another ten billion! Probably the Young Master is going to worry about how to spend the money again, teehee! Chapter 272 - 271 He Family He Honghai [11,000 recommendation tickets bonus, third update] Chapter 272: Chapter 271 He Family He Honghai [11,000 recommendation tickets bonus, third update]Lu Xiaobu and Chen Kun, along with their companions, chatted and enjoyed their food and drinks, quite merrily. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu was also subtly inquiring about news regarding the He Family. After all, Lin Feng only gave him a clue about the Xiangjiang He Family, and he couldnt even distinguish friend from foe, let alone how to find her traces. Through Chen Kuns description, Lu Xiaobu gradually got a certain understanding of this Xiangjiang He Family. He Family in Xiangjiang, Family Head He Deyue, with a net asset of eighty-nine billion, ranked fifteenth on the Third Level Rich List, a full ten places ahead of Lu Xiaobu. Merely in terms of assets, whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, Lu Xiaobu wasnt concerned at all. However, what Lu Xiaobu cared about more was another identity of the He Family mentioned by Chen Kuna Fengshui Family. You must know, how much Xiangjiang people value Feng Shui, its almost ingrained in their bones. No matter the level of wealth, class, or position, from the office environment, daily living, interior decoration to setting up companies, celebrating business openings, buying and decorating buildings, Xiangjiang people all pay attention to Feng Shui, favoring to invite Feng Shui Masters to "check the Feng Shui". Therefore, the status of Feng Shui Masters in Xiangjiang is very high. As a Fengshui Family, the He Family naturally has an extraordinary status in Xiangjiang. The previous Ge Wen was also pursued so forcefully by Chen Kun and company precisely because he was favored by the He Family. However, when Lu Xiaobu asked about whether the He Family had any contacts with people from the Mainland, or even if any women had married into the Mainland, Chen Kun and the others all shook their heads resolutely, affirming, "Absolutely not!" "Why?" Lu Xiaobu asked, puzzled. "People of the He Family, being a Fengshui Family, place extreme importance on Feng Shui. They carefully select husbands for every woman in the family. Since ancient times, there has not been a single He Family woman who has left Xiangjiang to marry afar. It is said they fear it would disrupt the Feng Shui and drain their luck." Chen Kun put down his wine glass, smiled, and explained: "If Brother Lu is also interested in Feng Shui, then I could make an introduction. I think the He Family would be pleased to make your acquaintance." He also wanted to use this opportunity to defuse the potential conflict between Lu Xiaobu and the He Family. After all, Lu Xiaobu might be powerful, but to confront the He Family, hes somewhat overestimating himself. "Oh? Sure." Lu Xiaobu readily agreed. If he could make contact with the He Family, it would make his investigation more convenient. As they were chatting, The door to their private room was suddenly flung open. This made all the celebrities startle, as it shouldnt have happened! They absolutely trusted the confidentiality measures of this club. Logically, outsiders shouldnt have been able to get in. However, when they saw who had come, they immediately understood. So, one after another, they all stood up and politely greeted: "Young Master He." Even Chen Kun was no exception, standing up and respectfully saying: "Good to see you, Young Master He." Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow. This person had the freedom to come and go in this highly secure club. And even Chen Kun couldnt avoid paying his respects. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Furthermore, the persons surname was He. Without a doubt, this must be someone from that extraordinary Fengshui Familythe He Familythat they were just discussing. It seems that luck is on his side, to be able to come into contact with someone from the He Family so soon! Thus, Lu Xiaobus gaze shifted to the newcomer. With clear eyes and noble features, a unique aura emanated from him. This was Lu Xiaobus first impression. However, upon a closer look, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity. This made Lu Xiaobu somewhat astonished. It was clearly his first encounter! While Lu Xiaobu sized up the newcomer, He Honghai was also observing Lu Xiaobu. Unrestrained, at ease, and lazy. And beneath it all, a hidden hint of domineering presence. This was He Honghais impression of Lu Xiaobu. Similarly, he felt a hint of an inexplicable sense of familiarity. "Youre the one who just made sarcastic remarks at Ge Wen, right?" He Honghai broke the silence, inquiring in a not-so-friendly tone. "Young Master He, heres the thing, Lu Xiaobu just wasnt aware of Ge Wens identity, it had no other implication," Chen Kun quickly explained. And deliberately mentioned Lu Xiaobus name, hoping to avoid this unnecessary conflict. However, He Honghais reaction to the name Lu Xiaobu was devoid of any fluctuation, and he said indifferently, "I just want to know, yes or no?" "Yes." Chen Kun had hit a soft spot and dared not say more. He discreetly gave Lu Xiaobu a lookhoping Lu Xiaobu would back down a little. Any member of the He Family could easily silence Chen Kun, such was the extent of the He Familys clout! "What, come looking for trouble?" Lu Xiaobu completely ignored Chen Kuns gaze. He might be lazy, but he isnt used to pampering others. "Its both yes and no. I just heard that your level of artistic appreciation is quite unique, and I wanted to seek some advice. I think you have some misconceptions about Ge Wens art." He Honghais lips curled up with a hint of mockery. Ge Wen was one of his tools for accumulating wealth, used to earn him some pocket money. Now that Ge Wens work had been tampered with, he couldnt just sit by and do nothing. "Then please enlighten me." Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders. He really didnt believe that piece of crap could be interpreted as art. Watching Lu Xiaobu and He Honghai who had instantly become adversaries, Chen Kun was extremely anxious on the side. But he didnt dare to interject rashly. By right, as someone on the Third Level Rich List, he should be qualified to speak up. However, He Honghais transcendent status from the He Family made him have to be cautious. He could only desperately signal Lu Xiaobu with his eyes. But it was all ignored by Lu Xiaobu! "Alright, then please do the appraisal." He Honghai clapped his hands, and a group of maids carried in canvases. Then, He Honghai smeared something on his body and pulled out an exquisitely made Wolf Brush, along with a small inkstone. In comparison to the Wolf Brush, this inkstone looked rather ordinary. However, the moment the inkstone was opened, a unique fragrance spread throughout the entire private room. The scent was strong but not harsh, lingering for a long time. Clearly, this was specially made ink. He Honghai dipped the Wolf Brush in ink and with bold and powerful strokes, quickly finished a painting. Instantly, a painting that looked not much different from Ge Wens piece of trash surfaced on the canvas. "Young Master, I sense something similar to True Qi, but with a different fluctuation." Zhang Meng whispered to Lu Xiaobu, "If Im not mistaken, this He Honghai is probably not an ordinary person." "How does he compare to you?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Id crush him." Zhang Meng was very certain. Having cultivated the True Martial Technique given by the Young Master, he feared nothing! And at this moment. He Honghai put away the brush and ink. A sneer of mockery and anticipation appeared on his lips as he looked at Lu Xiaobu: "Please go ahead." This painting looked similar to Ge Wens. But the reality was far different. He had hidden a Soul Capturing Talisman within it. Any ordinary person who looked at it for two seconds would start to do some embarrassing acts. He was really looking forward to this scene. Chen Kuns heart tightened at the side. He remembered something. Once, a fearless celebrity also doubted Ge Wens painting, and then He Young Master painted an identical one. After that, the celebrity started doing a striptease in public. He became a laughingstock, exited the entertainment industry and didnt dare show his face ever again! Thinking of this, he couldnt help but glance over. Instantly, the seemingly chaotic painting transformed into a large net in his eyes. His spirit was immediately captured, his pupils dilated, and he became as if dumbstruck. Luckily, Old Zhou pushed him from behind, and he finally came to his senses. In an instant, he was covered in cold sweat. As expected, it was just as he thought! He clenched his fists, barely resisting the urge to warn Lu Xiaobu. Brother Lu, is it really that hard to apologize? Dont end up as embarrassed as that celebrity, thats the real disgrace! Lu Xiaobu saw Chen Kuns worried expression and smiled slightly. Then he looked at He Honghai and scoffed: "Trash is trash, does it stop being trash when someone else paints it?" "Zhang Meng, tear it up, its an eyesore!" Chapter 273 - 272 Trash is Trash [12k recommended votes bonus, 4th update] Chapter 273: Chapter 272 Trash is Trash [12k recommended votes bonus, 4th update]"Zhang Meng, tear it up, its an eyesore." With these words, the whole place was shaken. This was a blatant slap in the face of He Honghai. This Lu Xiaobu was just too terrifying. Complete and utter impunity. He started by slapping their faces when he first arrived at the party. After slapping their faces, he slapped Ge Wens face, and now hes even slapping Young Master Hes face! And each time, he made it clear that he was doing it! Such a person either possesses absolute confidence or is an absolute fool! They all believed that Lu Xiaobu was certainly the latter. Otherwise, how would he dare to provoke Young Master He? "Fine, lets see how youre going to tear my painting to shreds." He Honghais eyes also narrowed. A mere bodyguard wants to tear up his Soul Capturing Talisman?! Dont know whether to call you stupid, or just stupid. However... Just when everyone was looking down on him. Zhang Meng strode forward. He violently grabbed the canvas! Rip- This so-called Soul Capturing Talisman was torn to pieces by Zhang Meng. He was not affected in the slightest! "Hows that? Did I tear it up to your satisfaction? Want me to tear a frilly edge for you?" Lu Xiaobu sneered, full of mockery! "What!" Chen Kun couldnt hold back anymore and let out a shout. This bodyguard wasnt affected at all?! Not in the slightest?! You should know, he was just glancing at it and his soul was captured. And this bodyguard? Not only did he face it head on, but he also tore it. And he wasnt affected at all? Just who is this bodyguard, Lu Xiaobu?! Who on earth is Lu Xiaobu?! The other celebrities were also filled with doubts, looking at He Honghai with skeptical eyes. Huh? Torn just like that?! Thats way too straightforward a slap in the face! "How is this possible?!" He Honghai, looking at the doubtful eyes of everyone, shouted with a mix of anger and embarrassment. His Soul Capturing Talisman has never failed! Why is it that today it had no effect on a bodyguard?! Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Why?! "What? Dont believe it? Why not draw another one?" Lu Xiaobus mouth curved into a cold smile: "Make it more attractive this time, maybe I wont tear it up!" He Honghai clenched his teeth tightly, his face looked as if Lu Xiaobu had slapped him five hundred times, turning shades of green and white. Only ones own family knows their own affairs. If one Soul Capturing Talisman didnt work, then ten more wouldnt make a difference. "Humph, lets just wait and see!" He Honghai snorted angrily and turned to leave. "Hold on, did I say you could go?" Lu Xiaobu stopped He Honghai in his tracks. You think you can come and go as you please? Who does he think he is?! "Dont push me too far!" He Honghai suddenly burst into fury! This was Xiangjiang, the place where the He Family came and went as they pleased. And now he was being stopped by an outsider, how could he bear it?! This was beyond humiliating. Chen Kun and others also swallowed hard. Whats this Lu Xiaobu going to do? No way! Please, we beg you, dont go crazy again! They were scared! Truly scared! "Pushing too far? No! Did you forget you came to me to appraise the painting? Now that Ive appraised it, you should at least acknowledge my assessment." Lu Xiaobu sneered. "Im just overbearing, arent I? What can you do about it?!" "Me!" He Honghai was about to explode with rage, but then he took a look at Zhang Meng, who couldnt even be affected by the Soul Capturing Talisman, and felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. "Huff, huff, huff!" He Honghai gnashed his teeth, heaving coarse breaths. "Fine, I give in! My painting is trash!" A good man doesnt suffer in front of others! He said this sentence word by word. A feeling of unbelievable humiliation rose from the bottom of his heart! This kind of humiliation was like Elder Wang coming to your house, getting into a fight with your wife on your bed, and after you find out, not only can you not hit him, but you actually have to say "please enjoy," just as humiliating! A humiliation of the utmost disgrace! "Oh, good, youve given in, now off you go, off you go." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. "Bam!" The private room door was slammed shut. The loud noise was full of He Honghais anger! And at this moment, everyone in the private room was silent as a cicada in winter. Swallowing nervously! What did they witness? He Honghai actually said he gave in himself? Even admitted that his own words were trash?! Oh my! If they hadnt seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe it. No, its only fair to say that even if they saw it with their own eyes, they still couldnt believe it! After the astonishment, a sense of dread set in. Its over, Lu Xiaobu has definitely caught He Honghais attention now! So, what about them... Have they also been marked!? Suddenly! "Um, Young Master Lu, I have something urgent, my wife is giving birth, uh, giving birth, so I have to go first." "Me too, my wifes giving birth too! Well chat another time, next time!" "I..." "..." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "I get it, your wife is also giving birth, go on then! You probably all share the same damn wife! Go home and look in the mirror, see if your head is green!" He had no kind words for these fair-weather friends! As soon as he spoke, each person felt a green hue over their head but dared not say more, quickly leaving. They had to butter up He Honghai, careful not to get dragged into the mess. In the end, only Chen Kun stayed. He looked at Lu Xiaobu with a complicated expression: "Little Brother Lu, truly, youre too impulsive! After all, this is Xiangjiang!" "Its nothing." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, unafraid. "Really, take my advice, apologize to the He Family! At most, offer some compensation, and this will all blow over. Im willing to mediate!" Chen Kun said through clenched teeth. His words were fraught with risk, as at any moment, he could be accused of siding with Lu Xiaobu by the He Family! But he still spoke up! He really admired Lu Xiaobu, both his movies and the fervent heart behind them appealed to him. Even envy! Because Lu Xiaobu lived the life he wanted to live while he, in turn, lived the life others wanted for him! "Thanks, Big Brother Chen, but theres no need." Lu Xiaobu shook his head, speaking indifferently: "Till this day, theres nothing that could scare me." "You! Ah!" Chen Kun sighed deeply, then stood up and left. At the door, he couldnt help but say: "If you change your mind, contact me." Now, everyone was gone. Only Lu Xiaobu and his companions remained. Hot Pepper finally spoke up, worriedly asking, "Xiaobu, are you alright? Shall we call someone from the Mainland to come and handle them?" Wu Qianmin also asked worriedly: "Xiaobu, should we go back? After all, this is Xiangjiang." "Calm down, everyone be at ease." A smile crept across Lu Xiaobus lips. Today was not bad, successfully having crossed paths with the He Family! Even if it was in this manner, the effect was the same. If the He Family turned out to be friends, then this fight would eventually come to nothing. If the He Family turned out to be foes, then a fight was inevitable regardless. So, let the storm come more fiercely! After all, he still had over a billion in squandering funds in his system! Chapter 275 - 174 Who Are You Looking For? [1st Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 275: Chapter 174 Who Are You Looking For? [1st Update, Please Subscribe]Lu Xiaobu and his group had just left the clubhouse. Liang Lans situation was resolved very smoothly, thanks to the powerful assistance from Lu Xiaobu previously, with green lights all the way up and down the chain! Thus, peace was made between the two sides. "Young Master, I have a bad feeling about this. Many people are watching us, either overtly or covertly; it seems like were being targeted." Zhang Meng whispered to Lu Xiaobu: "And they seem like small-time hoodlums." "Hmm? Hoodlums?" Lu Xiaobu frowned: "That doesnt make sense! How could the prestigious He Family send hoodlums after me? Thats just too low-level." After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Can you find their leader?" Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes," Zhang Meng nodded. "Good, find their leader and bring him to see me," said Lu Xiaobu as he nodded. "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng nodded imperceptibly and then disappeared without a sound at a bend in the road. ... In a car less than five hundred meters away from Lu Xiaobu and his people, "Big Brother, when do we strike?" A henchman asked as he leaned in front of the car window. "Have you confirmed the target?" Yan Qihe, who was sitting in the back seat, asked. "Yes, hes exactly like the one in the photo." The henchman confirmed. "Okay, wait a bit longer. Keep a close watch and strike when they move to a less crowded area." Yan Qihe pondered and instructed. "Big Brother? Whats to fear? Who would dare to stop us if we take action?" The henchman was puzzled; he felt that Yan Qihe was being overly cautious today. "You know nothing," Yan Qihe rebuked, "This person is not like the others. Dont ask questions you shouldnt; just follow orders." Information comes before the troops move. Since he was planning to strike at Lu Xiaobu, of course, he had carefully investigated Lu Xiaobus background. As expected, this Lu Xiaobu was no ordinary man, placed 25th on the Third Level Rich List, truly a big shot. No wonder he could slap He Honghai in the face. However, these were not the reasons for his fear; after all, this is Xiangjiang, not the Mainlands place to call the shots. What truly made him cautious was the incident that had just happened today; right now, Lu Xiaobu was a hot topic online. The upper echelons of Xiangjiang regarded him as an ambassador connecting the relations between the two sides. If he openly took action against Lu Xiaobu, not even the He Family could protect him! Therefore, he must be careful, careful, and even more careful. Just wait until they reach a sparsely populated area; these few people will be like fish in a barrel! "Big Brother, somethings not right." The henchman suddenly spoke up. "What is it?" Startled, Yan Qihe quickly asked. "They seem to be one person short; the strongest bodyguard has disappeared, even though he was just here a moment ago." The henchman peeked through binoculars and said with confusion. "Let me see." Yan Qihe snatched the binoculars and peered out from the car window: "It does seem like one is missing, where did he go?" At that moment. "Bang." The car door beside him opened, and someone got in. "Did you find him?" The voice of Zhang Meng reached Yan Qihes ears. "Not yet! Still looking." Yan Qihe said instinctively, as he was still searching for traces of Zhang Meng. "Big... big... Brother!" However, the henchman fell onto the ground in shock and fear. "Whats wrong with you? Why all the panic? Didnt I say Im looking?" Yan Qihe frowned impatiently. Whats wrong with this henchman? Had he been too nice to them? Were they getting too bold? Wait, thats not right! These two voices dont match! He suddenly swung around. "Who are you!" Yan Qihe nearly leaped to his feet. Someone had silently appeared in the seat next to him, scaring him into a cold sweat. Damn it! Human or ghost?! There was nothing there just a moment ago. And all his guys were around his car. How could someone have gotten into his car without making a sound?! "Youre looking for me, arent you? Our Young Master wants to meet you, lets go." Zhang Meng extended his large hand, pressing it onto Yan Qihes shoulder. "Get lost, Im not going! Damn it! Do you know who I am?" Yan Qihe exploded with rage. In Xiangjiang, to be silently confronted in his own car. It was an inexplicable humiliation. "Im not asking for your opinion, either come with me, or Ill cripple you and drag you there." Zhang Meng applied pressure with his palm. Yan Qihes collarbone emitted a series of stress cracks. "Ah!" Yan Qihe screamed in agony. The pain of an almost broken bone, especially at a nerve-rich spot like the collarbone, is beyond comprehension to those whove never experienced it. "Lets go." Zhang Meng opened the car door, pulled back, and dragged Yan Qihe out of the car! Yan Qihe had no strength to resist! "Stop right there!" As soon as Zhang Meng got out of the car, he was immediately surrounded by a group of thugs. The thugs were armed, each one fuming with rage. "Let our boss go!" "Youre looking for death!" "Release him, or well cripple you today!" "..." Zhang Mengs mouth twitched, ignoring them, he continued dragging Yan Qihe towards Lu Xiaobu. "Damn it! Youre seeking death!" One thug, unable to contain his anger, swung a steel pipe over his head in a chopping strike at Zhang Meng! Zhang Meng casually raised his hand and caught the steel pipe mid-air, then yanked it, pulling the thug, whose hands were taped to the pipe, down with a peel of skin. Next, the steel pipe in Zhang Mengs hand seemed to come alive, twisting slightly and smashing onto the thugs arm. Crack! The distinct sound of a bone fracture echoed. Then, the thug fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain. "Gulp!" The other thugs were stunned silly. When had they ever seen someone so powerful, seizing a weapon mid-air, and before even landing, finishing the counter-attack!? "Damn it, lets gang up on him!" There were those who were not afraid of dying. Those who could follow Yan Qihe werent easy to deal with, upon hearing this command, they rushed forward in waves. Two fists cant beat four hands, a confused fight could even kill a master! They thought they couldnt manage one against so many, right?! However... Their fearless charge couldnt inflict the slightest harm on Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng, dragging Yan Qihe like a dead dog in his right hand and wielding the steel pipe in his left, swung and defended. The steel pipe in his hand was like the Great Sage Equalling Heavens Jingu Bang, breaking tendons and fracturing bones on contact with any thug! What was most terrifying was that Zhang Mengs stride never faltered, maintaining a constant pace! Then... "Young Master, Ive brought the man." Zhang Meng arrived at Lu Xiaobus side, tossed the steel pipe, and Yan Qihe onto the ground, then reported. At this moment, he was as composed as water. But Yan Qihe was like someone who had seen a demon. His whole body was sweating profusely, his complexion deathly pale! It was as though he had walked a loop through Ghost Gate, no, he had truly taken a walk through Ghost Gate! Chapter 276 - 275: The Hongmen Banquet [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 276: Chapter 275: The Hongmen Banquet [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]"Whats your name? What do you do?" Lu Xiaobu yawned and asked Yan Qihe, who was looking pale and terrified on the ground. "I, my name is Yan Qihe, Im just a nobody." Yan Qihe shivered as he replied. He didnt dare not to answer. Only today did he realize what that saying even a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake meant; its just because that dragon isnt mighty enough. If its mighty enough, like the true dragon before him, then a snake is always just a snake! So, to stay alive, just obey! No one needed to tell him this! "Youre a smart man, I enjoy talking to smart people. Tell me everything you know." Lu Xiaobus lips curled slightly, nodding in satisfaction. "Its He Wenzhong from the He Family who sent me to capture you, saying that He Honghai wants to see you. I can call He Wenzhong right now and tell him the plan was a success, and ask him to come over. You can ask him anything you want." Yan Qihe didnt hesitate to sell out He Wenzhong. Completely and utterly. "Okay." Lu Xiaobu nodded in satisfaction, and said to the increasingly gathering onlookers, "Lets go to a secluded place first." ... Arriving at a quiet location. Soon, the ignorant He Wenzhong was easily tricked into coming. After losing a finger, He Wenzhong also understood the importance of sailing with the wind. "I dont know what He Honghai wants from you, I only know the exact words I heard." Like spilling beans, He Wenzhong told Lu Xiaobu the entire conversation between He Honghai and his son He Kuo. "Lets tie them both up for now, dont let them go just yet." Lu Xiaobu said. He was analyzing and studying the words spoken by He Wenzhong in his heart. There were a few key points. First, the He Family said as long as they get him, they could strike it rich. Second, the He Family wanted to invite him to dinner. Third, that He Kuo might know the truth. That is to say, as long as they find He Kuo, they can understand the truth. But from the current standpoint, the likelihood of being allies with the He Family was slim; its very likely they were enemies. However, it was puzzling where this enemy came from. After all, there was no animosity in recent or past days. Most importantly, why would getting him make them rich?! It seems this banquet was not to be missed! ... Since the decision was made, after receiving an invitation from He Honghai, Lu Xiaobu didnt hesitate and agreed right away. The time came to evening. The place for dinner was still that exceptionally secretive club. Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But at this moment, a lot of people were gathered at the entrance. Lu Xiaobu recognized these people; they were the celebrities who had just finished having a meal with him. They had heard that He Honghai would be dining here tonight and wanted to come over to make a good impression. An outsider from the Mainland like Lu Xiaobu. A local from the Fengshui Family. Choosing who to side with was clear at a glance, right! So, when they saw Lu Xiaobu, they backed away as if they had seen the Plague God, devoid of the warmth they had shown at noon. The fickleness of human relationships was just like this! "How come this Plague God is here again." "Hes not here to clash with Young Master He again, is he! Hasnt he learned his lesson?" "He really overestimates himself!" "Do you think hes just like us, here to suck up?" "Eh, right, thats possible!" "And here I thought he was all that, turns out hes just the same." "..." Chen Kun came over and said with glee, "Lu Xiaobu, have you come to your senses? Thats the way to go, who doesnt have to bow their head in life? Ill ensure your safety later, rest assured." "Bow my head? Not really," Xiaobu chuckled, "I was simply invited to dinner by He Honghai." "He Honghai invited you to dinner?" Chen Kuns mouth twitched, "My dear brother Lu! I know you care about your pride, but can you come up with a more reliable excuse? Fine, how about this, later we can say it was me who invited you to dinner." Chen Kun didnt believe a single word about He Honghai inviting Xiaobu to dinner. The last time He Honghai invited someone to dinner, that was years ago. You should know that even Xiangjiangs richest man has to check if the He Family members have time to dine with him, and now here you are claiming that the He Family, whom you just embarrassed, has invited you to dinner. How thick-skinned can you be?! "If you dont believe it, so be it." Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to explain. "Alright, fine." Chen Kun sighed and left Xiaobus side. He used to admire Xiaobu, but seeing him refusing to bow his head to the very end, still clinging to his pride. He felt disappointed! Its one thing for a youth to be proud, but its another to stubbornly protect ones fragile pride and go on a fools errand even when they are clearly in the wrong. That is simply asking for self-destruction. Not just Chen Kun, but the stars around also heard Xiaobus words. They all snickered. "Lu Xiaobu must have lost his mind!" "Did Young Master He do something to him, to make him delusional?!" "Young Master He inviting him to dinner? What makes him think hes worthy?!" "Sigh, I originally thought Xiaobu had great talent in filmmaking and could have been a good partner in the future. Now it seems agreeing to welcome him was the biggest mistake." "By the way, have you guys dropped the ad with Shadow Power?" "Weve dropped it long ago, who would dare take it now!" "But it seems like Brother Chen Kun hasnt dropped out, whats with him?" "..." However, at that moment. Someone walked out of the clubhouse. It was the person they were all waiting for, He Honghai. Instantly, they each tucked their words away, wearing sycophantic smiles as they approached. "Good day, Young Master He, good day." "This is just a small token of my regard, no other meaning! Just a bit sorry for the mishap with Ge Wen at noon." "Indeed! Its our weakness that allowed Xiaobu to succeed! This is to express our regret!" "Young Master He, when you have time, could you help me out? I feel like Ive been having a bout of bad luck lately." "..." They flocked around He Honghai, showering him with flattery, but He Honghai didnt even look at them. Instead, he set his gaze upon Xiaobu. Immediately, a friendly smile blossomed on his face, as he walked over as if basking in the spring breeze, "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, Ive been waiting for you for quite a while, youve finally arrived!" "Whats wrong? You didnt want to wait for me?" Xiaobu said coldly with a sneer. Now that he knew this was a setup, there was no need for pleasantries. "How could that be? Even if I had to wait another day, Id be willing. Just knowing that Young Master Lu would grace us with his presence is enough!" A smile remained on He Honghais face. However, inside, he was bleeding. When had he ever been so humble?! But for the sake of the plan, he had to endure! Xiaobus smile grew wider as He Honghai acted more and more subservient. The greater the likelihood that the so-called He Kuo knew the truth of the matter! Chapter 278 - 277 - All Means Are Illusory [4th Update, 15,000 Recommendation Tickets Plus Update] Chapter 278: Chapter 277 - All Means Are Illusory [4th Update, 15,000 Recommendation Tickets Plus Update]He Kuo clearly sensed that something was off in the atmosphere and also realized that his words had gone a bit too far. So. "Do not misunderstand, do not misunderstand." He Kuo hurriedly waved his hand, explaining, "I was just puzzled, thats all. I am still your uncle, arent I?" The plan hadnt reached that stage yet, there was no need to expose too much. But now, it didnt really make a difference. "Its fine, please continue." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, signaling for Zhang Meng and Li Jin to step back. What He Kuo said wasnt wrong; the original Lu Xiaobu was indeed dead, and the one alive now was him! The things mentioned before were just one reason, what he needed to understand was what came after. However, He Kuo suddenly stopped talking. Just like that, deliberately dangling the bait to tantalize Lu Xiaobus appetite. "Lets do this, lets have a drink first to ease the atmosphere, shall we?" He Kuo said smilingly while raising his wine cup. Watching He Kuos gesture, Lu Xiaobu suddenly laughed. To be honest, He Kuo had played his cards very well. If Lu Xiaobu didnt know that this banquet was actually like the Feast at Hong Gate. He would have drunk this wine, with a one hundred percent certainty. After all, He Kuo displayed the attitude that "If you wont forgive me, then I wont continue." And the so-called forgiveness would certainly involve drinking the wine. Who could have expected that the person who had just paid you all due respects, connected with you, chatted with you, and sincerely apologized, would suddenly attempt to assassinate you! But once this cup of wine was drunk, one need not say how terrifying the consequences could be! However, knowing that this was akin to the Feast at Hong Gate, how could he possibly drink this cup of wine? "Zhang Meng, give this wine to Young Master He to drink." Lu Xiaobu chuckled coldly and waved his hand: "I see hes been standing for a long time; he must be thirsty." "Yes!" Zhang Meng picked up the wine cup and strode toward He Honghai, who was intentionally or unintentionally blocking the door. "What are you doing!?" He Kuo stood up abruptly. "Whats wrong? Just giving Young Master He a cup of wine, no need to make a fuss, right?" Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said with a smile. "No, I mean, this wine is for you. My son has his own cup." He Kuo clenched his teeth as he spoke. He still didnt know where things had gone wrong. Although Lu Xiaobu had directly mentioned his name from the start, He Kuo had thought it was someone from the Lu Family who told him. Thats why he recounted everything that had happened before the incident without omission. He strived to make what he knew consistent with what Lu Xiaobu knew. After all, only by doing this could he gain Lu Xiaobus trust. However, this scene now made him realize something was wrong! Obviously, Lu Xiaobu knew more! "No problem, didnt you say you are my uncle? Then we are one family; theres no need for two family speak, and likewise, theres no need to change cups. Zhang Meng, please serve the wine to Young Master He." A cold smirk curled on Lu Xiaobus lips. You keep on pretending; lets see how long you can last. "Yes!" Zhang Meng seized He Honghai, ready to force the wine down his throat. He Honghais face was flushed red as he bit his lips tightly, not daring to say a word. He knew what was in the wine, and he knew the consequences of drinking it. So, he absolutely didnt want to drink it. "Enough!" He Kuo suddenly stood up, his gaze switching from gentle to fierce, to terrifying and brimming with murderous intent! "It seems you know more than I thought; I wanted to spare you some trouble at first, but I didnt expect we would still come to this point." He finally tore off the pretense. He couldnt possibly watch his son drink that cup of wine! "Good, very good." Lu Xiaobu clapped his hands with interest: "Actually, I prefer to fight first and then talk." "Both of you, set up the formation!" He Kuo made a preemptive strike: "As long as we capture this bastard, a life of wealth and honor is just around the corner!" The two people standing behind He Kuo changed their positions instantly, and though their legs didnt seem to move, they had already shifted. If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would surely be frightened senseless! Then, these two people, together with He Kuo, shouted in unison: "Binding Dragon!" As the Array took form, an invisible power surged up from the earth in an instant. It instantly shrouded Lu Xiaobu and his companions. If there were a true Feng Shui Master here, they would see the Dragon Vein Power of the entire clubhouse being drawn out, turning into giant python chains, tearing and binding towards the group. This is a Feng Shui Formation unique to the He Family. Harnessing the Dragon Vein Power to trap the enemy! Dragon Binding Ropea formation capable of locking down mighty dragons! In the blink of an eye. Lu Xiaobu and his companions were bound by several invisible chains! It felt like being pinned down by a specter; clearly, there was nothing, but they couldnt move at all! Several girls started to panic. "Xiaobu, Xiaobu, what is this..." Wu Qianmin said frantically. "Martial Arts? No, thats not it!" Xiaolajiao managed to maintain her composure somewhat. "Shut up, dont disturb the Young Master." Although Liang Lan felt some panic, she still knew the gravity of the situation and scolded them. Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As for Su Luoxue, she was an iceberg, not prone to speaking, and now she couldnt utter a word! Seeing the situation, Zhang Meng immediately let go of He Honghai and leaped to Lu Xiaobus side. Protecting Lu Xiaobu was his top priority. "Pretentious fools! Humph! You forced this on yourself." He Kuo watched Zhang Meng rush over with a sneer, not taking it seriously at all. As long as he dared to enter the Array, he would be just meat on the chopping block! In fact, this revealed his lack of proficiency; he actually needed three people and pre-arranged the Array to be able to control this minor Dragon Vein. If the patriarch of his family were here, one person could harness the Dragon Vein Power of half of Xiangjiang. Truly, it was like, slaying gods when encountering gods, slaying Buddhas when encountering Buddhas! Although he couldnt do that, binding a few mortals was still very easy for him. Now, they were like turtles caught in a jar for him! However. An event that greatly shocked He Kuo occurred. "Boom!" The charging Zhang Meng, like a human-shaped tyrannosaur. Those invisible chains were literally blown apart by Zhang Mengs force. With the chains exploding... "Pfft!" The two men brought by He Kuo were overwhelmed by the Dragon Vein Power backlash, spitting blood one after another. Zhang Meng, like a god of war, stood behind Lu Xiaobu. With True Qi-infused hands, he grabbed the invisible chains in the air. "Boom!" He crushed them in his grasp! The True Martial Technique emphasized using martial power to break all spells! Before absolute power, all stratagems are fleeting! "Pfft!" Now even He Kuo was spitting blood. "How is this possible?!" He Kuos pupils dilated, and he stared in disbelief at what unfolded! Using bare hands to forcefully break the Array?! He had never seen such a thing in his life! Was this Lu Family hiring them as bodyguards?! However, this wasnt the end. Zhang Meng stomped on the ground fiercely. The human-shaped tank charged once again. "Rumble!" A series of dull sounds rang out, anything blocking Zhang Mengs path was crushed to smithereens! "Boom!" Zhang Meng heavily collided with He Kuo. Like a tank smashing into a bicycle. In an instant, He Kuos ribs were all broken, his internal organs squished together. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets! He was now exhaling far more than he was inhaling! At this moment, Lu Xiaobu still maintained his relaxed posture leaning on the chair: "Li Jin, dont let him die, I still have questions for him." Chapter 279 - 278: Brutal Killing Intent! [Fifth Release, 16,000 Recommendation Votes Bonus] Chapter 279: Chapter 278: Brutal Killing Intent! [Fifth Release, 16,000 Recommendation Votes Bonus]Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu shouting to Li Jin to save his life. Li Jin felt quite troubled. His "Green Emperor Longevity Technique" was never meant for showing off, only for logistics. Sometimes, he really envied Zhang Meng, who didnt have to think or care and just went straight into action. But it was different for him, needing to control, provide long-distance support, and even act as a healer! Truly a pain in the ass! However, thoughts aside, he still had to clean up the mess for Zhang Meng. He went over to He Kuo, channeling the Wood Attribute True Qi into He Kuos body to sustain his life, allowing him to last until the Young Master finished questioning. "Ptui!" He Kuo, stimulated by the True Qi, vomited a mouthful of dirty blood. He looked at Lu Xiaobu incredulously, "A Martial Arts practitioner? You actually have a Martial Arts practitioner by your side?" "Is that so strange?" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, "Lets continue our conversation! I suppose you dont wish to die, right?" "Die? Hahaha! What is there to fear in death? Do you think you would spare me?!" He Kuo laughed heartily as blood spurted from him. "Why are you so sure Ill kill you?" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed. "Why? Because once I speak, I am certain you will kill me." He Kuo scoffed with a sneer, showing some backbone. "Oh, and your son? Have you asked him if he wants to die?" Lu Xiaobu glanced slightly towards the door where He Honghai stood, petrified. At this moment, He Honghais eyes were dull, filled entirely with panic. He had never seen someone so terrifying! Who exactly was this Lu Xiaobu? Why did he know all their plans!? And why were there such terrifying people around him? Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, He Kuo fell silent. He looked at his son, then back at Lu Xiaobu. He opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing. He originally wanted to ask if Lu Xiaobu would really spare his son. But after thinking, he realized he had no right to ask that. "Fine, Ill tell you what you want to know, as long as you can handle it." He Kuo spoke in an even tone. Despite the neutrality in his voice, everyone present could feel the heavy significance it carried! What situation could possibly make him say something that even Lu Xiaobu couldnt bear to hear. "What were we talking about just now?" He Kuo, having lost too much blood, was somewhat unclear. "We were discussing how my mother influenced our destiny." Lu Xiaobu reminded him. "Oh, right, destiny, greed, its actually not called greed." He Kuo, who was on the verge of death, spoke with goodness, "It was a normal action by a mother, after all, every persons birth is the crystallization of their parents, naturally carrying the destiny from both sides." "And if your mother forcibly didnt give you destiny, none of you three brothers would have survived, all would have died young." "So your mother had no choice but to confront the He Family, to oppose us!" He Kuo revealed the truth. Hearing He Kuos words, Lu Xiaobus heart sank. He began to inwardly call her mother. "But no matter the motivation, the outcome led to my fatheroh, and your maternal grandfather, though you definitely wouldnt acknowledge himbeing extremely angry!" "Eventually, he personally took action, went to the Mainland and captured your mother." "Oh, right, it was just after she gave birth to you, during her weakest time; otherwise, it wouldve been very hard to capture her." He Kuos tone remained calm as if discussing someone elses matters. However, the person who was captured was his younger sister. "Oh?" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed. A fierce rage surged uncontrollably from within. It was a rage stemming from the body, the bodys reaction to this incident! Its the rage of a child just born, who hasnt even seen his mother! He took his legs off the table! No longer lounging leisurely!!! The killing intent begins to boil!!! "I still remember that time, your mother was desperately resisting." "Yet your father told your mother that if she resisted any further, you, her newborn baby, would die!" "Your mother was in utter despair, continuously kowtowing, hoping father would forgive her, and let your family reunite properly." "However, the reality was cruel, everyones gaze was cold!" "I remember, she also begged me, her white forehead, bloody from the kowtowing. That was the last time she called me big brother." He Kuo said these words in a flat tone. But every single word was like a sharp knife plunging into Lu Xiaobus heart. Blood Silk slowly crept across Lu Xiaobus eyeballs! He could imagine how desperate a mother must feel being forced to leave her newborn child! He could also imagine how bleak it feels to see ones own father attack their child and the sibling remaining indifferent! Even, he felt like he could hear the desperate heart-wrenching screams! Such human tragedies, when happening on TV, still make people cry! Let alone! That child was him! That she was his mother! "Continue!" Lu Xiaobu, with red eyes and gritted teeth, said. A tyrannical emotion filled his chest; he wanted to kill! Really wanted to kill!!! "Later, to protect you, your mother gave up resisting and was captured back to the He Family." "She thought that as long as she obeyed, father wouldnt harm you." "However, she thought too simply." "Father had already prepared the ritual to seize back the destiny, the reason for capturing your mother was to use the blood ties of close kin to reclaim the destiny!" "In that moment, your mother truly despaired, and she really got angry!" "She really is a feng shui genius, actually forcibly reversing the ritual." "In the end, only your destiny was taken, your older and second brothers destiny remained." "Thats also why I asked you why you were still not dead!" "After that day, the door of the room where your mother was imprisoned was never opened again." "This time when I heard He Honghai say that he actually saw you and that you were alive and well." "Im certain in my heart, no matter what anomaly happened, your mothers methods must have been broken, meaning, reclaiming the destiny is not impossible anymore." "Thats why I prepared to capture you. Reclaim the destiny, make a fortune!" He Kuo continued to speak calmly, wandering on the edge of life and death, he had nothing else to worry about. Feng shui works like this, pulling one hair moves the whole body. The supposed-to-be-dead Lu Xiaobu or, that means He Meis methods disappeared, at least they are not effective anymore.

"I remember you just said that when destiny is gone, a child may die young, but what if an adults destiny is taken?!" Lu Xiaobu asked violently. "A better outcome would be constant misfortunes, a worse outcome, death and extinction," explained He Kuo. "So, you mean to say, your He Family plans to use the lives of my family for some damn destiny!?" Lu Xiaobu almost roared out this statement. "Thats right, you can understand it that way." He Kuo looked at the tyrannical Lu Xiaobu and nodded. Even the corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile! His gaze involuntarily shifted to He Honghai beside himSon, both of us are surely dead, but it might be considered as the Heavenly Daos cycle, we deserve this. I cant save you, but I can revenge for you. This Lu Xiaobu will definitely kill us, then go after the He Family. And then, he will die at the He Family. That would be considered as avenging us, right! "Zhang Meng, take action, attack the He Family!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dramatically, slammed the door and left! This matter must be settled! Moreover, deep in his heart, there still lingered a faint hopeher, no, mom, are you still alive?!

Upon reaching the entrance, Chen Kun and others who saw Lu Xiaobu coming wanted to step forward to greet him and show eagerness to please. However, under such immense rage, Lu Xiaobu had no time to bother with them; with just a slight lift of his fury-filled eyes, he scared everyone away, clearing the path. All the way, they headed towards the He Family. At this time, not far from the clubhouse at Victoria Port, was the He Familys residence. "Bang!" The old masters room of the He Family, which was usually never opened, suddenly burst into pieces with windows shattering. An old man with silvery hair and a gloomy face came out: "Audacious to the extreme!" The He Family patriarch, He Deyue, had emerged from seclusion! Instantly, the whole He Family was stirred up. "Greetings, Family Head!" Members of the He Family, young and old, knelt down to welcome him. They all knew that everything they had was because of this man; without the old master, they were nothing! "Find out who killed the members of our He Family!" He Deyues eyes were calm yet filled with murderous intent. The death of a son and a grandson did not weigh on his heart; what he cared about was the reputation of the He Family and their providence! With bloodshed stirring, a disaster looms! "Yes!" Disciples of the He Family promptly took the orders. Yet, they were filled with doubts. Members of their He Family were killed? In the vast Xiangjiang, who would dare to strike against their He Family? Did they wish to die or live?! And at that moment. "No need to look any further, I killed them." A voice laden with anger came from the direction of the He Familys main gate. Following that. "Bang!" The entire main gate suddenly exploded into pieces scattered in the air. Lu Xiaobu walked in, Zhang Meng and Li Jin flanked on either side. The He family members instantly erupted in fury! "How audacious! To dare trespass into our He Family!" "Audacious to the extreme, you are seeking death!" "Seize him!" "..." As the voices fell, the bodyguards of the He Family instantly sprang into action. "Helping a tiger do evil, sever one of his arms!" Lu Xiaobus voice was icy. "Yes!" Li Jin squinted his eyes, flicked several seeds from his pocket. "Swoosh swoosh swoosh!" These seeds, bolstered by Li Jins True Qi, shot out like bullets. Before the bodyguards could even react. "Puff puff puff!" Immediately following, the sound of numerous bodies being penetrated echoed. Only then did the bodyguards horrifyingly discover that their right shoulders had been penetrated! Penetrated! By those seeds!! But they had no time to be shocked as intense pain swept through all their nerves! "Ah!" Screams echoed throughout the yard of the He Family. The pupils of the He family members dilated. "Is this... some kind of geomancy technique?!" "No, it definitely isnt. Although geomancy is magical, it always relies on the support of the Dragon Vein Power. Lets not mention this is our He Family at this time; others cannot manipulate the Dragon Vein Power, and we have not sensed anything!" "Then what is this? How could a single seed create a bullets impact, effortlessly penetrating human bones!?" "..." "This is Martial Arts. Martial Arts from the Mainland." He Deyue stood out with a grim expression, a cold smile tugging at his lips as he watched Lu Xiaobu and his group: "Am I right, my grandson!?" He Kuo, through He Honghai, could infer Lu Xiaobus identity, and He Deyue, with higher geomantic prowess, who had personally destroyed everything in the past, saw it instantly. With those words, the entire He Family was shaken. "Grandson?! No way! I should have met all the people from our He Family!" "Where did this grandson come from?!" "No matter where this bastard has come from, daring to intrude into our He Family, he deserves to be punished!" "..." "Spouting nonsense, using foul language, everyone loses a leg!" Lu Xiaobu commanded again with an icy expression. "Yes!" Li Jin once again raised his seeds, transforming them into a rain of projectiles, shooting towards the He family members! "How dare you! Boy, you dont take me seriously, do you?" He Deyues expression darkened even further. Previously, when Lu Xiaobu laid hands on those bodyguards, he didnt care, they were outsiders after all! After all, even if Lu Xiaobu was a bastard, he was still his grandson. So he wasnt angry. However, now it was different! To strike against the members of the He Family right in front of him. That truly is audacious! Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He violently stomped on the ground, an invisible ripple suddenly rising from the ground. Centered around He Deyue, an invisible protective shield appeared. Li Jins seeds, like bullets, created loud explosion sounds the moment they hit the shield. Li Jins attacks were all blocked. "These little tricks, dont embarrass yourself! In front of the old man, your Martial Arts is nothing!" A younger member of the He Family said with disdain. The surrounding He Family members were also full of mockery. "Nowadays, young people are too impetuous, learning some tricks and thinking they are invincible, not knowing that there are mountains beyond mountains, people beyond people!" "This is my He Familys territory, as long as the old man is here, it isnt something a little bastard can mess with!" "Right, I suddenly remembered, it seems the old man indeed has a grandson." "Who?" "Its the child of that traitorous wench He Mei who leaked the He Familys fortunes! If Im not mistaken, this must be the one!" "Oh, that wench! The bastard born of a wench is creating trouble!?" "No, it should be said that he is here to return our He Familys fortunes!" "..." It is said that Emperors are heartless, and so is this He Family. Once it concerns their interests, any notion of siblings or blood relations is worthless! He Deyue, despite being He Meis biological father, could even strike to kill his own daughter and his external grandson. Not to mention these less closely related He Family members! A nest of snakes and rats, interests above all! He Deyue, listening to his He Family descendants disparage his own daughter, showed no flicker of emotion in his eyes, as if he was an outsider. His heart had long since grown cold, in his eyes, those who did not follow his orders, even if its his biological daughter, were enemies. Enemies should die! This so-called grandson in front of him was also an enemy! He too must die, and of course, before dying, he must return their He Familys fortunes! Even tigers do not consume their offspring. But He Deyue! He had a heart of stone and was merciless! And just when the He Family members felt secure under the protection of He Deyue. Zhang Meng, on the other side from Lu Xiaobu, made his move. He gathered all his True Qi, leaned forward, and charged towards He Deyue. "Thump, thump, thump!" Each time Zhang Mengs foot hit the ground, the entire He Family seemed to tremble. As Zhang Meng got closer and closer to He Deyue, the sounds of his footsteps grew louder and more frequent! This indicated that his speed was increasing and his force was growing! At this moment, He Deyues complexion finally changed! Chapter 281 - 280: 500 Li of Mountains and Rivers [Second Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 281: Chapter 280: 500 Li of Mountains and Rivers [Second Update, Please Subscribe]He Deyue watched Zhang Meng, akin to a tank rampaging toward him, his face no longer calm and indifferent as before. "Dragon Vein Power, protect my entire body!" He Deyues hands formed seals, and he lightly tapped his right foot on the ground several times. It was these light taps that seemed to flip a switch. The entire He Family villa, no, including the small mountain on which the villa stood, started to tremble subtly. The ripples that had appeared before became denser, almost turning tangible, warping everyones vision. This time, Zhang Mengs aggressive and domineering attack was something he dared not take lightly! However, the barrier only protected He Deyue alone this time. All other members of the He Family were forsaken by him! This was his cold-heartedly instinctive reaction! The heavens and earth are vast, but he is most important! "Thud!" A loud noise transmitted over. Zhang Meng and the barrier in front of He Deyue crashed heavily together. Issuing a deafening sound. With this sound, the powerful impact from Zhang Meng, through the barrier, entered the ground, and the entire He Family villa began to shake violently. This was He Deyue conducting all the impact force into the ground! Which means, at this moment, Zhang Meng was not contending against He Deyue alone, but against the entire He Family villa that occupied the Dragon Vein! "Little brat, your tricks are not up to snuff!" He Deyue said coldly. "Is that so? But I never intended to directly clash with you with this move! Li Jin, take action!" Zhang Mengs resolute face also showed a hint of a cold smile. "Not good!" He Deyues face changed in an instant. He understood! This move was a feint, diversifying their attack; these Martial Arts practitioners target was never him! But the other He Family members! Because, the order the little bastard gave earlier was to break a leg of each He Family member! Indeed! Seeing He Deyue instinctively concentrating the barrier around only himself, Li Jins eyes brimmed with disdainful laughter. The seeds in his hand shot out again. And at this moment, He Deyue was utterly unable to protect the others, his rage making him so furious that his hair stood on end: "How dare you!" However, would his words be heeded by Li Jin or Zhang Meng? The one they obeyed was only one personLu Xiaobu! "Puff puff!" A series of seeds, once again, pierced through like bullets, all those He Family members who had previously spoken arrogantly. Piercing through their major arteries, shattering their thigh bones! These He Family members, accustomed to a pampered and lofty life, who would dare injure them usually?! Let alone such severe, life-threatening injuries! And so, all at once... This He Family, with their formidable reputation in Xiangjiang and their superior status, ended up like a hell on earth. Blood ran rampant, and wails filled the air! And all this was due to a single order from Lu Xiaobu. Zhang Meng walked away from He Deyue with a cold smile, returning to Lu Xiaobus side, and alongside Li Jin, they reported: "Young Master, we have honorably accomplished the mission." "Hmm." Lu Xiaobus eyelids lifted, looking at He Deyue: "Now that the loudmouths are quiet, can we have a proper discussion now?" "What do you want to discuss?!" Beset by betrayal, He Deyues face was filled with furious emotions. That he could be outwitted by a little bastard was unforgivable! He began to prepare secretly! This little bastard must die! "Hand over my mother, and perhaps, out of consideration for her, I could be merciful enough to spare the He Family lineage." Lu Xiaobus voice was ice-cold. Regardless of whether his mother was present or not, today, blood must be shed by the He Family, this He Deyue must die! Both sides had set their sights on each other as targets to be eliminated! "Very well, very well, I should have killed you, that bastard child, back then!" He Deyues face was grim, seething with a murderous intent: "The slightest mercy I showed back in those days has allowed you to become so insolent today! How truly remarkable!" "Mercy? Are you saying you didnt spare me because you wanted to take over my familys fortune?" Lu Xiaobu sneered, then shouted furiously: "Dont flatter yourself with such grandiosity!" "Thats right, it seems you know quite a bit, but do you also know that youre doomed to die?" He Deyues voice was ice-cold: "This is the territory of my He Family. If we were somewhere else, the two martial arts masters by your side might be able to protect you. But now? Just wait obediently for death!" This He Family was built by his own hands, and over the years, the Dragon Vein Power of this place had been nurtured by him and was now completely under his command. Otherwise, it wouldnt have been possible to form a barrier so quickly just now. After all, a Feng Shui Master and martial arts are distinct; martial arts involve an individuals power to shake the heavens and the earth, while a Feng Shui Master leverages the Dragon Vein, following the flow of its power. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hence, Zhang Meng was able to utilize his True Qi in an instant, launching an attack in the briefest of moments. And for him to be able to erect a barrier in such a short time was an absolute display of his prowess as a top Feng Shui Master. Its akin to the difference between certain warriors and mages. The spells that mages can cast instantly usually arent very powerful! But during the idle chatter just now, he had already completed the charge-up, and next would be the time for him to unleash his major move! "Is that so?" Lu Xiaobu sneered coldly. "Dragon Binding Formation, I borrow the power of a five-hundred-li landscape!" He Deyue was ready and, without any further explanation, shouted out loud. The Dragon Binding Formation had been previously used by He Kuo as well, but compared to He Deyue, He Kuo was simply not on the same level; the gap between them was not one between a Great Witch and a lesser witch, but rather like heaven and earth! He Kuo needed the combined effort of three people to manipulate just a tiny portion of the Dragon Vein of a single clubhouse. Now, as soon as He Deyue spoke, it was a five-hundred-li landscape! What does a five-hundred-li landscape mean?! It refers to half of Xiangjiang! The barrier in front of He Deyue that had not dissipated started to transform. It was like a key, unlocking the Dragon Vein of Victoria Port where the He Family resided. And then, through the conduction of Victoria Ports Dragon Vein, it triggered the Dragon Vein power of half of Xiangjiang! This is the essence of Feng Shui, which emphasizes conduction with the right timing following the natural flow! In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiaobu and his associates had become the enemies of half of Xiangjiang! He Deyue alone had the power to achieve such a feat! Indeed, he truly deserves the title of the top Feng Shui Master in Xiangjiang! Terrifying indeed! In just a moment, the weather took a dramatic turn. The previously clear skies of Xiangjiang were suddenly rampant with gusts of wind and teeming with thunder! Not far off, the sea roiled with towering waves, which was quite alarming! The entire Xiangjiang was affected. Countless people were exclaiming in shock. "Whats happening?" "Whats going on?!" "Why has the weather suddenly changed, wasnt the forecast for today clear skies?" "Yeah, why is there suddenly lightning and thunder?!" "..." Ordinary people had no idea. But those who knew the ins and outs were all turning pale. Their gazes were all directed towards the location of the He Family villa. "Is this the Dragon Binding Formation of the He Family?! And is it personally controlled by He Deyue?!" "Could it be that the He Family has encountered some enemy?" "No way, what kind of enemy would compel He Deyue to resort to this ultimate measure?!" "Its too terrifying! This is my first time witnessing He Deyue unleash his full power!" Chapter 283 - 282: Is It Useful? [Extra - for 17,000 recommendation votes, fourth release] Chapter 283: Chapter 282: Is It Useful? [Extra Chapter for 17,000 recommendation votes, fourth release]At the moment when Lu Xiaobu finally finished charging his power. Zhang Meng and Li Jin, these two tough men, had completely exhausted their True Qi, even they, who never bowed their heads, bent over, their knees somewhat weak. They were biting down hard on their teeth, blood seeping from their gums! But they were still resisting, because the Young Master had said, wait for him! And everyone present, seeing the two men like this, let out sighs of pity. "What a pity, truly a pity!" "Lu Xiaobu is definitely done for!" "Alas, it looks like another huge turmoil is about to sweep through!" "This He Deyue, although highly skilled, is too incapable of discerning right from wrong!" "..." But members of the He Family were all clenching their teeth in approval. That desire for revenge made their adrenaline flow rapidly, momentarily suppressing the severe pain in their legs! "Good! Kill him!" "Grind him into dust!" "Dare to provoke our He Family! It doesnt matter if you are Lu Xiaobu or even if Lu Bu himself were alive, you would still die!" "..." "Ten Billion Dragon Capturing Hand, activate!" Lu Xiaobu let out a cold laugh, thinking were the ones to die?! Lets see who dies! He took a deep breath and immediately pressed the activation button. This was the largest Dragon Capturing Hand he had ever launched! A full ten billion! In an instant! "Roar!" A dragon roar that didnt actually exist, yet was heard by everyone, echoed in the minds of all present. Accompanying the sound, a giant dragon rose up from behind Lu Xiaobu! Soaring straight into the sky! These ten billion Dragon Capturing Hands actually condensed into a tangible attack!!! S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Boom!" The giant dragon collided with the chains that were weighing down on Lu Xiaobu and his companions, which Zhang Meng and Li Jin had been desperately supporting above them! However, as soon as the two sides touched! The chains were instantly shattered to pieces! This Dragon Binding Formation, borrowing the power of five hundred miles of land, actually stood no chance against the Ten Billion Dragon Capturing Hand! Lu Xiaobus Dragon Capturing Hand broke through the Dragon Binding Formation and continued to surge into the sky! The sky, which was originally filled with rolling thunder and stormy clouds, cleared up as the giant dragon ascended... In a flash, the clouds dispersed and the fog cleared! Wind and thunder receded in retreat! A beam of golden light shot out from behind the clouds, shining on the dragon, making it appear even more majestic and imposing! Zhang Meng and Li Jin finally took a deep breath, straightened up their bodies, and looked at Lu Xiaobu with immense admiration! They always knew that the Young Master would never let them down! Everyone thought that the two of them were the Young Masters greatest reliance. But little did they know, the so-called strength that they possessed was merely the Cultivation Technique the Young Master had casually given to them due to his disinterest in training. The truly powerful one, was the Young Master! Everyone present was stunned beyond belief! "My God! What is this? A dragon?! A real dragon?!" "How could a dragon appear from Lu Xiaobu?!" "Too terrifying! It actually pierced straight through the cloud layer." "What kind of technique is this!?" "..." Zhang Dian and Cai Yuan, both of their jaws were agape in astonishment, they exchanged looks. "Master Zhang, this..." "Indeed, Martial Arts Power! And its over five times stronger than the strength exhibited by those two martial artists just now, because only such power could easily shatter He Deyues Dragon Binding Formation!" "Five times?! Five times!? How can there be such a terrifying strength!?" "..." Wang Tianhe suddenly burst into laughter: "Heaven has not abandoned me! Heaven has not abandoned me! Could this be the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?!" Just now when Zhang Dian and others said that three times the power could break through the Dragon Binding Formation, now even five times had come out, so Lu Xiaobu certainly didnt need to die! This way, he would have no responsibility! "Er... Master Wang, I suggest you dont celebrate too soon." Zhang Dian said with a sigh. "Whats wrong?" Wang Tianhe was taken aback. "Three times the strength can break through the Dragon Binding Formation, what can five times the strength do? It can crush He Deyue! You bear responsibility for Lu Xiaobus mishap, so what about He Deyues mishap?!" Cai Yuan explained aloud. "Holy shit!" Wang Tianhe finally reacted. Yes, its exciting that Lu Xiaobu is alright, but if He Deyue has a mishap, he cant escape involvement either! What should be done!? Zhang Dian and Cai Yuan paid no attention to Wang Tianhe. "Zhang Sheng, how about the two of us together conceal this anomaly?" "That was exactly my intention, it wouldnt be good for ordinary people to see this!" "..." While speaking, Zhang Dian and Cai Yuan harnessed the power of the Dragon Vein to set up a Blinding Technique, blocking off all of this areas anomalies. To prevent causing a commotion. Because they set it up promptly, most people did not see this anomaly, and even if they did, it would be a fleeting glimpse, naturally assumed to be a trick of the light, or a mirage caused by lightning. As for He Deyue, his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets! "What?! A dragon?!" Did he actually see a dragon?! A dragon?! No, no! This is the power of Martial Arts, such immense Martial Arts power?! It actually broke through his Dragon Binding Formation?! Impossible?! I dont believe it! But! Is his disbelief of any use? No use! The giant dragon behind Lu Xiaobu, after rising into the sky, transformed into an enormous hand! This hand, unimaginably huge! Just by looking, you can feel its might, overwhelming, a single hand obscuring the sky! After that! This massive hand, carrying terrible force, smacked down towards He Deyue like toppling mountains and overturning seas! Do you know of a palm technique that descends from the heavens? This Billion Dragon Capturing Hand is not inferior to such a move! "Hu!" Before the giant hand arrived, the terrifying blast of wind it brought had already struck! He Deyues whole body started to tremble frantically! The wind pulled his mouth so hard his corners split, and his legs shook uncontrollably! Hes a Feng Shui Master, not physically robust. If he were to rely solely on his body to resist, he would not even be able to withstand the fierce wind! "Five hundred li of mountains and rivers, protect me!" He Deyue roared furiously, propping himself up to deploy the Array, gathering the previously harnessed Dragon Vein Power. This is one of the advantages of being a Feng Shui Master. The True Qi of martial artists like Zhang Meng and Li Jin can be exhausted, and replenishment is slow. But Feng Shui Masters are different; as long as the Dragon Vein Power isnt depleted, their strength is virtually inexhaustible! Instantly! A vast, nearly tangible barrier shrouded over him! "Kaka Kaka!" However, as soon as the barrier formed, it began creaking under the pressure of the wind. Think about it, the Dragon Binding Formation from before was shattered upon a single touch by the Dragon Capturing Hand. How could the same five hundred li of mountains and rivers Dragon Binding Formation possibly block the Dragon Capturing Hand now?! "Master Zhang, Master Cai, please take action quickly!" Wang Tianhe was going mad on the side, urgently shouting. You must understand that the He Family right now is not just He Deyue but a whole family of He members! If this palm strike goes down, what will be crushed isnt merely He Deyue but the entire He Family! If this really happens, its a matter of life and death! "Okay!" Zhang Dian and Cai Yuan no longer hesitated; they hurried into the He Family residence! They activated Feng Shui Skill and joined He Deyue in defense against this move! But is this useful!? Chapter 284 - 283: He Family, The End [Bonus - for 18,000 recommendation votes, the fifth update] Chapter 284: Chapter 283: He Family, The End [Bonus Chapter for 18,000 recommendation votes, the fifth update]He Deyue alone could mobilize half of Xiangjiangs Dragon Vein Power. Just how formidable is the Dragon Vein Power consolidated by those three top Feng Shui Masters in Xiangjiang?! Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the entirety of Xiangjiang! This means that at this moment in Xiangjiang, aside from certain special Dragon Vein Powers that cannot be mobilized, the entire Dragon Vein Power of Xiangjiang is continuously converging toward the He Family. The barrier above the He Familys skies is also thickening, thickening! However, Zhang Dian and Cai Yuan both reveal a bitter expression. Only when they truly come under that hand that could cover the skies do they realize how dreadful its might truly is! They arent boastingif given an hour, no, half an hour! Pooling their combined strength, they could absolutely resist or even counter this enormous hand. But not now! There simply isnt enough time! The flow of the Dragon Vein Power also requires time, also preparation. Right now they are akin to He Deyue unleashing a powerful Skill, while they merely activated a minor Skill to assist. They are utterly unable to destroy this enormous hand. Yet, even so, they must not give up! For they know full well what kind of human catastrophe would ensue once this hand descends! At this moment, people of the He Family are already scared witless, the mixed stench of blood and excrement nauseating. But even so, they have to embrace those around them to seek a sliver of psychological comfort! Too horrifying! They are going to die!!! "Huff!" Finally, the enormous hand smashes down. It felt as if we were slapping a mosquito with our hand. The people of the He Family are the mosquitoes! "Crash!" The first to suffer is the He Familys iconic villa. Regardless of how good the materials were, how luxurious the decoration, once touched by the enormous hand, they were crushed like a childs sandcastle! "Boom!" Finally, the gigantic hand collides with the barrier! "Crack crack crack crack crack!" The barrier, strengthened by the power of three people, is instantly pressed with cracking sounds. Even visible cracks start to appear! Looking at those cracks, Zhang Dian and Cai Yuan are at a loss for words! They regretted it, they should have never meddled in this mess! Now its done; once the barrier is breached, they too will perish along with their Dao. The people of the He Family beside them are even more frightened; with every new crack that appears on the barrier, their hearts miss a beat! Many have already fainted, welcoming their end through unconsciousness! At this moment, Wang Tianhe is also striving hard, having come to Xiaobus side, trying his best to persuade him. "Young Master Bu, maybe we should stop here, this wont end well!" He was sweating profusely, yet he didnt dare to speak harshly. Because he had already inquired about Lu Xiaobus temperament. Authorities told him, to communicate with Lu Xiaobu, one must conform to Lu Xiaobus wishes! Make him happy, and everyones happy! Make him unhappy, and everyone else cries! Lu Xiaobu didnt even glance at Wang Tianhe, his eyes focused solely on He Deyue, the cause of his familys destruction. He Deyue at this moment, full of horror! His prior smugness and arrogance had vanished without a trace! The feeling of watching oneself being slowly crushed to death is indescribable! Its like someone telling you they are going to kill you, not only that, but they also tell you the time, the place, and where the knife will enter, telling you everything! But you just cant avoid it, cant escape! You can only watch as the knife inches closer towards you! That sense of despair will steal away your life sooner than the knife will! Everyone at the scene was terrified! Just now they were afraid that Lu Xiaobu would be killed, but now they were afraid the He Family would be exterminated! This Lu Xiaobu was too terrifying, too terrifying! From every aspect, one could say it was scary! "Crack! Crack!" The noise from the barrier got louder and louder, the cracks got bigger and more numerous! The moment of shattering was imminent, right before their eyes! All present closed their eyes, they felt... no, it was not a feeling, but a certainty that in the next moment, this place would become a living hell! Yet, even with their eyes closed, the scene of flesh being torn apart and blood flowing freely still echoed in their minds! And at this moment! He Deyue seemed to suddenly remember something: "Lu Xiaobu! Dont you want your mothers remains anymore?! Her remains are inside this villa! If you keep this up, your mothers remains will also turn to ashes!" He finally remembered what the cause of this whole event was! It was Lu Xiaobus mother! Hearing these words. Lu Xiaobus Dragon Capturing Hand abruptly paused, and the progress of the barrier shattering also abruptly slowed down! Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhang Dian and Cai Yuans eyes suddenly lit up, and Wang Tianhe was also pleasedcould there be a way out?! But at the same time, there was a bitter taste in their hearts. These living people on the ground, they couldnt even compare to a set of bones! "Sigh!" Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but take a deep breath, lifted his head, and looked skyward. He didnt dare to lower his head; he was afraid his tears would come out. As expected, she was no longer there! Two seconds later. His gaze returned to normal, and he took a step forward: "This time, I came here for my mother, although you forced her to death, utterly inexcusable!" "However, after all, she was a member of the He Family. If I were to exterminate all the bloodlines of the He Family, even to say to kill the two masters unrelated to this event, Im afraid she wouldnt forgive me from the underworld." "But, there must be retribution for injustice, life for life, debts must be repaid. What you owe the Lu Family, you must return to the Lu Family." "He Deyue, commit suicide. By doing so, I will spare the He Family bloodline!" After these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent. They didnt know how to judge everything that had happened. In terms of familial relations, He Deyue was Lu Xiaobus maternal grandfather. But from a moral standpoint, He Deyue was also the murderer of Lu Xiaobus mother! If they were to suggest that Lu Xiaobu drop his hatred and not seek revenge, not to mention speaking it out, they would feel guilty even thinking about it! Because if they put themselves in his shoes, they couldnt be as magnanimous either! Perhaps He Deyues suicide to preserve the He Family bloodline was indeed the best solution! Hearing this, He Deyue showed a look of despair! Struggle appeared in his eyes; he didnt want to die! But he had no choice. He never thought his end would be like this! He assumed he had planned everything, thought he controlled the whole situation, only to have such a fate in the end. At this moment, it was as if he had aged a decade instantly, his eyes becoming cloudy! He shakily took out a dagger from his bosom! "Thump!" Blood sprayed! Everyone closed their eyes. They couldnt bear to witness the departure of this top figure of Xiangjiang, the top Feng Shui Master, at this moment! Good and evil will ultimately be rewarded, the Heavenly Dao cycles around! The Feng Shui Master has always gone with the flow. And now, He Deyues destiny as a Feng Shui Master who drove his own daughter to death and targeted his own grandson seems to be the most fitting end! He Deyue, deceased! Although the other members of the He Family were spared, they also faced the possibility of disability from excessive blood loss to the thigh! One death, an entire family disabled! It could be said... The era of the He Family had concluded! Chapter 285 - 284: Home Again [1st Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 285: Chapter 284: Home Again [1st Update, Please Subscribe]The He Familys scattered affairs would naturally be taken care of by someone; there was no need for Lu Xiaobu to intervene. Upon asking about the room where his mother had been imprisoned, Lu Xiaobu swiftly made his way to a secret chamber beneath the remnants of broken walls. He opened the door of the secret chamber. Instantly, a skeleton appeared before him. This extremely desiccated skeleton seemed as though it would scatter with the wind at any moment. Zhang Meng and Li Jin quickly stood by the doorway to block the wind entering the chamber. Lu Xiaobu took a deep breath and stepped inside with heavy steps. His heart ached. Eighteen years had passed without seeing each other, and upon reunion, only a withered husk remained! Revenge was certainly satisfying, but how much better it would be if you were still alive? He knelt before the skeleton, opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But in the end, all his myriad words condensed into a single phrase: "Mom, Ive come to take you home." "Swoosh!" As those words were spoken, the skeleton suddenly disintegrated into dust. There was no skeleton left, only a pile of bone powder. Yet Lu Xiaobu seemed to see a figure that only appeared in his dreams, nodding earnestly at him, tears welling in his eyes, and even extending her arms as if wanting to embrace him. But she disappeared in the blink of an eye. As the skeleton vanished, a letter appeared in front of Lu Xiaobu, actually, it was a patch of ground covered with blood-written words. For some reason, despite the many years, the bloodstains looked as fresh as if just written. "With my blood, I bless my child!" "With my soul, I sustain his livelihood!" "My soul disintegrates, escaping reincarnation!" "With all manner of blessings, I endure them all!" These thirty-two words clearly showed how difficult it was for the person who wrote them initially. The first word was written with full force, but by the last word, the writing had blurred almost to the point of illegibility. One could imagine how a woman struggled to write these words in her dying moments. No, thats not right, not just those sixteen words. There were more words, even those that had become unreadable. The line readXiaobu, mom is sorry, so sorry, sor... "Mom, lets go home." Lu Xiaobu didnt want to dwell on or learn about what had happened then: "Zhang Meng, Li Jin, dig up the entire floor and bring my mom home." "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng and Li Jin obeyed the order. They carefully excavated the entire floor of the secret chamber. Covering it with a glass case provided by Wang Tianhe, designed to protect relics. ... Lu Xiaobu left, leaving Xiangjiang behind, taking his mothers ashes with him. And the once-famous He Family of Xiangjiang vanished, leaving no trace behind. Many who sought the He Family for Feng Shui suddenly found that there was no one from the He Family to be found. Later, news emerged that the He Family, who never left Xiangjiang, had relocated! This soon became the main topic of discussion in the streets and alleys. People speculated about why the He Family had moved! But there were no results. Only the celebrities who had met Lu Xiaobu before had some guesses, but they dared not speculate wildly! This incident gradually subsided as time passed. ... Lu Xiaobu returned home. "Xiaobu, youre back? Where did you go?" Lus father saw Lu Xiaobu and immediately smiled. Though Xiaobu was now renowned, he was still the precious child of the family, always bringing joy whenever seen. "Dad, Ive brought mom back." Lu Xiaobu whispered, afraid that his father couldnt handle the shock. "Ah? What did you say? What mother?" Hearing this word, Lus fathers mouth twitched with a pained arc, as he forced a smile and said. "I said, I brought Mom back." Though it pained Lu Xiaobu, he still spoke the words. Then he waved his hand, motioning Zhang Meng and Li Jin to place the ground on the floor. "This... this... this... this is Meimei!" Lus father saw the ground, the bone powder, and the familiar handwriting on the blood-written letter. Tears streaked down his face in an instant. His body swayed, almost falling. Lu Xiaobu quickly stepped forward to support Lus father: "Yes, its Mother, I brought her back from the He Family." "Is it? Yes, its her! I recognize her!" Trembling, Lus father shuffled forward with Lu Xiaobus support, leaning over the glass cover, staring blankly at the bone powder inside, tears streaming down along the wrinkles on his face. "Youre back, youve returned." Lus father cried and then laughed: "Originally, I said once our children were married, Id come to find you! But I didnt expect our Xiaobu to be so promising, bringing you back. Its good youre back." Lus father laughed and cried, speaking and shouting. At last, all of it turned into one phrase: "Meimei, I miss you so much!" Lus father suddenly told Lu Xiaobu: "Xiaobu, go outside for a bit, I want to talk to your mom alone." "Okay." Lu Xiaobu agreed, but didnt dare to go far. Arriving at the doorway, the usually non-smoking Lu Xiaobu, lit a cigarette. As the pungent smoke swirled in his lungs, his emotions seemed to lighten a bit. He just lay there on the ground, quietly gazing at the sky, still hearing his fathers voice alternating between crying and laughing, reminiscing about the past and talking about the present. "Back then, we were so formidable! Do you remember? You even joked that we were the female double terrors..." "By the way, Hongbin got married, and his wife is very good, very filial..." "Wenhao is the same, that rascal only knows how to study..." "Especially Xiaobu, that little guy from back then, his build now is great, I plan to have him marry seven wives, haha, you would probably say Im being improper again if you were here..." Hearing this outside, the four women cried incessantly, moved by Lus father and mothers enduring love, and happy for the familys reunion! Even Zhang Meng and Li Jin had their eyes turned red! They too, had mothers. "Xiaobu?" Lu Hongbin arrived with Lin Shu, stunned at the scene before him. Liang Lan, wiping her tears, explained everything to Lu Hongbin. Lu Hongbins eyes instantly reddened. He really wanted to go in to see his mother, but he didnt want to disturb his father. So, he followed Lu Xiaobus example and lay down beside Lu Xiaobu, lighting a cigarette. Then, he firmly grasped Lu Xiaobus shoulder, tears streaming down continuously. Lu Wenhao also returned. Making the same choice. He lay down on Lu Xiaobus right side, also hugging their little brother tightly, tears streaking down! At this moment, the three brothers lay there on the ground, their actions almost identical. It was as if Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao were using their solid bodies to protect Lu Xiaobu. But it also seemed like Lu Xiaobu alone was supporting, crying Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao. sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. All was unspoken! For the Lu Family, there had always been two long-awaited things. First, for Xiaobu to be healthy. Second, to bring mother home! Today, they had accomplished both. No, actually, it was all done by Xiaobu alone! The previously prodigal Xiaobu had grown to a level nobody could ignore. Still the same old saying... My Xiaobu is awesome, no one can compare! Chapter 286 - 285 Scammers [2 more, subscribe please] Chapter 286: Chapter 285 Scammers [2 more, subscribe please]In the following few days, the three Lu brothers respectfully sent their mother to be buried in the ancestral cemetery. Except for the first day, when Lu Father was quite emotional, he spent the rest of the days cheerful and laughing. Every day after eating, hed take a stroll and then return to talking to that particular floorboard. Lu Xiaobu didnt go anywhere these days, just to peacefully accompany Lu Father. Also, due to the nearing end of the year, Liang Lan was busier every day, and Su Luoxue, Zhou Jingyuan, and Wu Qianmin were all busy with exams. So, Lu Xiaobu actually had a rare and peaceful few days! Another new day. Lu Wenhao and Lu Hongbin were whispering in the living room. "Big brother, do you think Dad has gone crazy? Always squatting in the room every day?" Lu Wenhao, being straightforward, couldnt help but ask while looking towards Lu Fathers room. "Off you go, who talks about our dad and mom like that?" Lu Hongbin said annoyed, but he couldnt help but feel a bit worried. At this time, Lu Xiaobu, who had just gotten up, came downstairs. "Xiaobu, come here." Lu Hongbin waved to Lu Xiaobu. "Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu approached holding a bottle of cola, asking perplexed. "Nothing major, you think Dad is alright, right? Isnt he stressed? Should I go buy some health supplements for him to try?" Lu Hongbin muttered softly. "Yeah, yeah, those things are said to be good for the brain, to prevent dad from getting dementia, which wouldnt be good." Lu Wenhuo also chimed in mischievously: "Qianmins family does health supplements, right? Have her send some over, whether or not dad has gone mad, it cant hurt to eat some. "Hey, you guys are just worried about dad talking to mom all the time, concerned something might happen, huh? Why make it so complicated?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "So what should we do?" Lu Hongbins eyes lit up: "Xiaobu, do you have a solution?" "Yeah!" Lu Xiaobu nodded confidently. "Alright then, go give it a try, just dont let something really go wrong." Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Hongbin decided with a clap. "Okay." Lu Xiaobu stuck a straw into the cola and then went to knock on Lu Fathers door. Seeing this, Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao immediately rolled their eyes. "That stinky kid, this is his solution? Just ask directly?" "Exactly, how could dad possibly tell the truth?" "I thought Xiaobu had some cunning plan, seems like we better go buy those supplements." "Alright, Ill contact Qianmins dad to prepare some good ones for us." "..." However... The two brothers were still discussing it. Lu Father and Lu Xiaobu started talking. Lu Father: "Who is it?" Lu Xiaobu: "Dad, its me." "Dad, its me." "Xiaobu! Whats up? Worried about me? Im fine, just havent talked to your mom in a long time, just chatting more." Lu Father also knew he had been a bit unusual these days, so he voiced his explanation. He really was fine, just venting his emotions. "Yeah, thats what I said too, but big brother and second brother dont believe it, big brother said you have dementia, second brother said youve gone mad." Lu Xiaobu nodded earnestly, spinning a yarn. Hearing this, everyone fell silent! Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhaos faces turned green. Lu Xiaobu, you little rascal. When did we ever say dad has dementia? Of course, Wenhao saying dad had gone mad was indeed true! Even so, you cant talk to dad like that! What are you trying to do? "Click!" The locked door opened. Lu Father stood out, giving Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao a stern look. "Dad, here, properly straighten out these unfilial sons." Lu Xiaobu immediately handed over a feather duster from the side. "Sure!" Lu Father took the feather duster and charged at his two unfilial sons: "Rebelling, are you? Saying your own dad has dementia?! Saying your own dad is crazy?!" "Dad, dad, dad, no, no, we never said that!" Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao started to run away. In the past twenty years, Lu Father had been both mother and father, and spanking them was just a part of daily life. Yes, it was with this feather duster hed do the spanking. Though as they grew up, he stopped spanking them. But even so, the sight of this feather duster still sent shivers down their spines! Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin on the side: "Seems like our dad is fine, still vigorous as a dragon! Still can hit people, yup, test confirmed, our dad is fine!" Hearing this while running away, Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhao staggered. They cursed at Lu Xiaobu, who was enjoying the show on the side. Little rascal, just you wait! Actually pranking your own brothers?! This is your idea of testing?! Having our dad beat us up?! Your method is freaking brilliant, painfully brilliant! "Daddy, see Im already married, right! Lin Shu is here too, you see..." Lu Hongbin quickly turned around to beg for mercy. "Uh... indeed, cannot hit you now, go aside." Lu Father thought about it, and it made sense. Hongbin was married now, hitting him wouldnt be appropriate. "Mmm mmm mmm! I knew my dad was the most enlightened!" Lu Hongbin quickly nodded and flattered on the spot. And then... "Dad, actually it was all Wenhao who said you had dementia and were crazy, I can prove it!" Lu Hongbin stated firmly. Yes, Lu Xiaobu set up both of them. He framed Lu Wenhao. No problem! "Come come come, big brother, Coke or beer?" Lu Xiaobu immediately buttered up. "Beer." Lu Hongbin said discontentedly, though he wouldnt really treat this treasure harshly: "You little rascal, framing your second brother is one thing, but framing me too?!" "Forget it, cheers." Lu Xiaobu quickly skipped over that detail. "Mm, cheers!" Lu Hongbin nodded! "Ah!? Huh?!" Lu Wenhaos face went green. Oh heaven! Oh earth! How did I end up with such prankster brothers?! One sets up his older brother, the other sets up his younger brother?! And you two are actually toasting on the side?! What are you trying to do?! Finally! Lu Wenhao was cornered. "Dad, dad, I was wrong, truly, look Im already grown up, lets not fight, please." Lu Wenhao pleaded pitifully. What kind of situation was this! He was already so old, it would be embarrassing if he were to be hit and word got out! "Hahaha!" Lu Father finally couldnt hold back his laughter. How could he truly punish them? They were all grown up, not kids anymore. However, he was really fine and knew his sons were worried about him. Thats why he went along with Lu Xiaobus words, just playing along. But, the second son was still so naive. Really thought he was going to hit him. The farce ended, and the family started dining happily. Only Lu Wenhao, who felt messed with, wore a face of dissatisfaction. All of them are bad eggs, only he is the good egg, no, the only pure one! Chapter 287 - 286: The Onset of Brainwashing [Third update for 19,000 recommendation votes] Chapter 287: Chapter 286: The Onset of Brainwashing [Third update for 19,000 recommendation votes]When the Lu Family was in merriment. The Wu Family, on the other hand, was frowning and bursting into petty squabbles. The Wu Family started out by selling health products, and before Lu Xiaobu came to this world, the status of the Wu Family and the Lu Family in Shimen was neither high nor low. Therefore, the relationship between the two families was very good. But in the past six months, Lu Xiaobus outbursts have caused the gap between the current Wu Family and the Lu Family to become too large. Besides Lu Xiaobu and Wu Qianmin, the connection between the two families has faded a lot. Mainly because Wu Qianmins father, Wu Yuanren, is a proud man. He feels that maintaining relations with the Lu Family now would always imply a hint of climbing up the social ladder. He simply cannot swallow his pride! However, an unexpected situation arose today! "Dad, I dont think its possible!" Wu Qianmin, sitting on the couch, seemed somewhat unhappy. "Not possible? Whats so impossible about it? You havent even married out yet, but your elbow is already turning out?" Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Wu Qianmins father, Wu Yuanren, was also getting a bit angry: "Isnt it just asking you to find Lu Xiaobu to help connect us with a few celebrities for endorsements? Why cant you understand? Its not like were asking Lu Xiaobu to endorse it himself?" "If you were asking Lu Xiaobu to endorse it, Id go and talk to him right now, but the key issue is..." Wu Qianmin was at a loss for words. Owings favors are not the same. If she has to owe Lu Xiaobu a favor, she wouldnt feel too embarrassed; after all, speaking without shame, they are practically family. But now, her father is asking Lu Xiaobu to owe someone else a favor. What kind of person Lu Xiaobu is, how could he be willing to owe someone else a favor? If it ends up making everyone uncomfortable, thats what she doesnt want to see happen. "Qianmin, please, help your dad out," Wus mother couldnt help but persuade: "Your dad never told you the truth, but actually, our company is not in good shape right now." "Weve finally managed to use connections to pay a hefty price for a 15-second advertisement on Imperial TV station! Your dad is prepared to turn things around with this opportunity!" "Otherwise, how could your father, a man with such pride, make you, a girl, go out and owe people favors?" "Nonsense," Wu Yuanren, hearing his wife spilling the beans, couldnt keep face: "If you dont go, then dont. Im leaving, I refuse to believe we cant find one celebrity." With that, Wu Yuanren stormed off in a huff. He is a proud man, even if he made up his mind to lose face this once, asking his daughter to help out, but it was still semi-commanding in nature. That is exactly why Wu Qianmin was angry with him. And now that his wife had revealed the plight of his company, it made him, as a father, feel rather ashamed. "Old Wu, you!" Wus mother was aggrieved, even to this point, still so concerned about saving face and suffering! She had told him before, to just go and find the Lu Family, there was no problem. After so many years of relationship, whats there to be afraid of? But no, he insisted on making his daughter do it, saying he didnt want to lose that sense of dignity! Now that she has told the hard truth, he gets angry! Really! "I..." Wu Qianmin, hearing her mothers words and seeing her fathers angry departure, was suddenly stunned. She had always thought their family business was doing well, but now it seemed they genuinely were in trouble. So, she pursed her lips and bit her silver teeth: "Ill go talk to Xiaobu." ... Wu Qianmin arrived at the Lu Family. "Qianmin is here, come sit down, have a meal, we were just talking about your family! Let your father prepare some of your familys health products for us, Ill get my father to try some." Lu Hongbin greeted Wu Qianmin as soon as he saw her. "Go on, when did I ever say I needed any health products." Lus father joked: "But bringing some over wouldnt hurt, I still trust the products made by Old Wu." "That, uncle, I..." Wu Qianmin turned red with embarrassment upon hearing this. Even though she also knew they were joking. But as the saying goes, the speaker means no harm but the listener takes it to heart; her thin-skinned nature left her speechless. Utterly embarrassed! "Whats the matter?" Lu Xiaobu sensed something was off, as this silly girl was not someone who acted coy. So, he stood up, grabbed Wu Qianmin by the arm, and led her outside. At the door, when only the two of them were left, Wu Qianmin was still a bit embarrassed, constantly fidgeting with the hem of her clothes. "Silly girl, whats up? Spill the beans." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Its just that, you know, my dads company isnt doing too well. Theyve secured a 15-second ad spot at Imperial Television Station and were hoping you could help connect us with some celebrities to endorse the product." Wu Qianmin bit her lip and finally spilled it out. "Oh, what kind of health product is your family selling?" Lu Xiaobu slightly furrowed his brows. It had to be said, Wu Qianmin knew Lu Xiaobu well. Just as Wu Qianmin had thought, Lu Xiaobu really hated getting involved in this kind of networking. If it succeeds, no credit goes to you. If it fails, you get cursed from both sides! "Brain Black Gold." Wu Qianmin said red-faced. "Huh?" Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched when he heard the name. Why did that name sound so familiar? Not only that, but an incredibly catchy ad slogan was already looping in his mind involuntarily! And he couldnt shake it off! It was on an infinite loop! Wu Qianmin, seeing the expression on Lu Xiaobus face, thought he was contemplating something, so she quickly explained: "Xiaobu, our familys health products are genuinely beneficial. Theyre definitely of assured quality. I even take them occasionally." "Um, I didnt mean that." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. He never doubted the quality. After all, this health product was something his brother would give to their father to take. If there were any issues, his brother definitely wouldnt have allowed it. "Then, Xiaobu, you..." Wu Qianmin hesitantly said, "Its fine if you dont agree. I know its actually quite awkward for you." "Lets go to your familys company," Lu Xiaobu said with a grand wave of his hand, standing up. "Huh?" Wu Qianmin was taken aback, then panicked: "No, no, what do you want to do? Its okay if you dont agree." She instinctively thought that Lu Xiaobu must be planning to give her father some money. After all, this was typical of Lu Xiaobus style. But this wouldnt do. With her fathers immensely proud nature, he would explode if he heard Lu Xiaobu was offering him money. "Im going to create an ad for your company, what else are you thinking? Spank your butt!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and then casually slapped Wu Qianmins peachy behind. "Smack!" A crisp sound. "Ah!" Wu Qianmins pretty face turned instantly red. She glared at Lu Xiaobu, biting her teeth. This Xiaobu was getting more and more presumptuous, so annoying! "Hehe, nice touch! Seems like it got bigger." Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands together and strutted off. Up until now, because of the name Wu Qianmin had mentioned, his mind was still echoing with that remarkably brainwashing image and that irresistibly catchy voice. So, he decided, to let the people of this world also experience the power of this brainwashing force! Just thinking about it was funny! What? The state of Wu Qianmins familys health product business? Oh, that was just something he could handle in passing. After all, could the business possibly suffer once the brainwashing ad succeeded?!

With Wu Qianmin, the chairmans daughter leading the way, Lu Xiaobu was able to reach the meeting room without any hindrance. Wu Yuanren was in the midst of a board meeting, discussing who to invite as a celebrity endorser. But they hadnt reached a conclusion. Because health products are so ambiguous, the health product industry has always been the hardest for acquiring celebrity endorsements. Even if they managed to get one, the endorsement fees were astronomical. Thats why Wu Yuanren had to swallow his pride and ask for help from Lu Xiaobu, who had a certain status in the entertainment industry. Yet, after swallowing his pride, he found himself faced with a situation caused by his own family that left him with a red face, utterly embarrassed. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And the current atmosphere was even more infuriating. The shareholders had their own differing opinions, sure, but now there were even shareholders talking about selling their stocks to cash out. This made Wu Yuanrens brain hurt from anger! Though the company wasnt doing well, things shouldnt have been this bad! At this moment, Lu Xiaobu and Wu Qianmin entered. Wu Yuanren, who had been dealing with a headache, suddenly brightened up. Could it be that his daughter and Lu Xiaobu had come to an understanding? Indeed, a dutiful daughter. The company was saved! "Uncle Wu, are you in a meeting? Should I come back later?" Lu Xiaobu said. "No need, no need, its all related. Lets discuss it together." Wu Yuanren waved his hand and had his secretary add a seat for Lu Xiaobu right beside him. Then he introduced Lu Xiaobu to everyone: "This is Lu Xiaobu, you all must have heard his name." The directors were puzzled at first as to why this young man was receiving such a welcome from Wu Yuanren. But as soon as they heard the name Lu Xiaobu, they all burst into brilliant smiles. "Ah, Young Master Bu! Its better to see once than to hear a hundred times!" "Indeed, he has such an imposing presence, a true talent!" "Young Master Bu, do you have any good projects lately? Take us along to make a fortune!" "..." Such was the prestige of Lu Xiaobu in the business world! "Alright, enough chatter, I invited Xiaobu over to help us make connections and find a top-tier star for our endorsement, to bring our company back to life," Wu Yuanren interjected, speaking with a hint of pride. You all wanted to sell your shares? Not so tempted now, huh! See how strong my connections are?! What? Wu Qianmin brought him here?! But thats my daughter! The shareholders eyes sparkled upon hearing this. "With Young Master Bu here, its all good!" "Yes, Young Master Bu knows so many people, hell definitely help our company overcome this difficulty!" "As long as the advertisement is executed well, we can turn the tables beautifully!" "..." Listening to their words, Wu Yuanren was beaming with pride, and then eagerly turned to Lu Xiaobu and said, "Xiaobu, which celebrity are you thinking of for our endorsement?!" "Endorsement? When did I say I was going to help you find someone for an endorsement?" Lu Xiaobu, however, was taken aback and spoke up. "Ah!?" Wu Yuanren was dumbstruck! He felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face! He had just confidently stated that Lu Xiaobu was there to help make connections for them, and now Lu Xiaobu himself had directly contradicted him! He saw the bewildered looks of the shareholders and was engulfed in embarrassment, his face clearly unhappy. "Then what are you here for?" Wu Yuanrens words carried a hint of anger. "I, I came to provide an advertising strategy," Lu Xiaobu shrugged and stated the situation. "Advertising strategy?!" Wu Yuanrens face twitched, the anger growing more evident. He felt like Lu Xiaobu was there just to mock him! An advertising strategy?! Did they lack advertising strategies?! Theyre going to celebrities, you know!? Now you come over, not to help us invite celebrities, but actually to pitch us your advertising plans?! Isnt this just toying with us, then what is it? The other shareholders also looked puzzled. "What do you mean? Werent you here to help us make connections?" "Advertising plans? Does our company not even have the money to afford that now?!" "Yeah, no matter how poor we are, we wouldnt resort to having a profligate heir plan our campaign! Sorry, I mean no offense, I respect Young Master Bus status, but I am referring to his academic prowess." "Looks like we should prepare to sell some shares!" "..." Wu Yuanren listened to these idiots words, grinding his teeth in anger! So! His expression turned cold: "Qianmin, take Xiaobu out for some fun. We still have matters to discuss!" He had completely given up hope on Lu Xiaobu! Or rather, if it wasnt for his remaining rationality, he would have driven this troublemaking Lu Xiaobu out long ago! I was counting on you to defuse the situation, and look at you now, kicking me further down into the abyss?! How could someone as proud as him tolerate such mockery!? "Go out? Im not leaving." Lu Xiaobu sat down on the chair the secretary had prepared for him and declared, "Todays advertising plan, whether you want it or not, youre getting it!" His statement was full of dominance! Yes, the world must experience that enchanting advertisement! Wu Qianmin stood aside with a face full of despair. Its over! They didnt know, but she did. Xiaobu was now thoroughly entertaining himself, unstoppable by anyone! Or rather, he had started doing whatever pleased him once again! "Hu..." Wu Yuanren finally exploded in anger, just about to scold him, but after a thought, he harshly swallowed his anger. After all, whether from a personal or a qualification standpoint, things were no longer the same. He could no longer scold Lu Xiaobu like before. So, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine, Lu Xiaobu, go ahead and share your advertising plan. Lets discuss it together." This was already a step back for him. "Sure." Lu Xiaobu was suddenly all excited: "Actually, its quite simple. Just hire a graphic designer to create two animated characters, an old man and an old woman, and have them start dancing. Meanwhile, the lines go like this: Dont want any New Year gifts! No gifts! If giving gifts, just give Brain Black Gold!" He described it with such flamboyant enthusiasm, even singing it out. Those present, however, were twitching at the corners of their mouth, almost wishing for death! This is called advertising planning?! Its like childs play! No celebrities, and not even a real person? Using two animated characters with a silly dance and a couple of silly lines, and you call this an advertisement?! Youre investing heavily to advertise on Imperial television station and you give us this kind of plan?! To be honestIts idiotic! An idiotic ad! Let alone them, even Wu Qianmin herself twitched at the corner of her mouth. Xiaobu, Xiaobu, although I know youre extraordinary, often with unexpectedly genius plans. But to be honest, this is genuinely idiotic! Wu Yuanren was so angry he squeezed his cup, wanting to smash it! He was certain, Lu Xiaobu came just to mock him! You say you dont help with networking, fine, I can live with that, after all, youre not obliged to help me. You say you want to provide an advertising plan, and we cant even refuse it! Fine, I restrain myself again, after all, just hearing it out wont hurt! But! What the hell is this idiotic ad youve come up with now?! If this isnt making fun of me, who would believe it! Lu Xiaobu looked at the distrustful gazes around him and scoffed. Whats wrong with an idiotic ad? This idiotic ad once defined an era! As Ive said before, Young Master just wants to see this era dominated by it. Whether you deal with it or not, you have to, no negotiation!

The staff of the company, upon hearing Liang Lans precise planning, were all immensely impressed. "Its incredible, if this plan were applied to other advertisements, it could definitely double the advertising effect." "Yes, its really a pity, in the end, it got used on such a dumb advertisement, alas!" "Its truly sad." "This time, I guess CEO Wu feels like crying." "Does CEO Wu even cry? Anyway, he must have cried earlier since hes such a strong person, and now that CEO Lu forcefully acquired his company, he mustve already fainted in the bathroom from crying!" "..." "Why waste words? Get back to work!" Liang Lan scolded. These ignorant people, her planning could indeed increase the value of other advertisements by two to three times. But now, using it for Young Masters advertisement, its not just about doubling the value. Its about perfectly presenting Young Masters ideas, which is already not easy! Young Masters thoughts are too whimsical, and although she spends a great amount of time studying them each day, she still feels its not thorough enough. Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Director Liang, is this article okay?" Liang Lan heard someone calling her, immediately turned around, and looked, "No, the advertisement is too obvious. Remember its a science article, a science article, dont forcefully insert advertisements, that will only backfire." "Yes!" Her subordinate went back to work. Liang Lan frowned and thought: "Forget it, I might as well find some university professors to write it. These peoples writing is too poor." While saying this, she dialed a number. "Professor Zhang, this is Liang Lan from Young Master Bus side, could you write something?" "Professor Li, this is Liang Lan from Young Master Bus side, you see..." "Professor Wang..." In less than ten minutes, Liang Lan had made over twenty calls, all to professors from various top universities in Heavenly Dynasty. The others were all stunned. "My god, are university professors really so cheap now?" "And it seems they are all well-known professors." "How do you know?" "Look, a professor has already sent an email, isnt this the one who often appears on TV, Professor Wangs email!" "And that one, thats also the professor who frequently appears in various programs." "..." Liang Lans lips curled slightlythese were all connections Young Master had accumulated during the League of Legends University Championship, easily obtaining dozens of high-quality soft articles. Most people are lacking in quality, making up for it in quantity. But with Young Master, its always both quality and quantity! Now everything is ready, just waiting for the ads to be aired on the Imperial TV. ... Brain Black Gold Company, lounge. Lu Xiaobu arrived here. Upon opening the door, he was greeted by a pungent smell of tobacco and alcohol. Looking at the table, there was an ashtray piled with cigarette butts and numerous densely packed bottles of alcohol. Red, white, yellow, foreign, all kinds of alcohol. Some were empty, others were only half drunk. Wu Yuanren, with bleary eyes, was half-slumped on the couch, with a cigarette in his mouth, and several burn holes already on the couch. If it werent for Zhang Meng and Wu Qianmin watching him all the time, a fire would have likely started by now. And when Wu Yuanren saw Lu Xiaobu enter, his eyes suddenly regained clarity. That was a state of clarity suppressed by anger. "Uncle Wu, still drinking." Lu Xiaobu sat on the opposite sofa, opened a new bottle of beer for himself, took a sip, and smacked his lips. Wu Yuanren suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with rage. But after a few seconds of hesitation, he sat down again and tossed a cigarette to Lu Xiaobu. Not caring whether Lu Xiaobu would light it or not. Then he started rambling. "Xiaobu, your Uncle Wu has been through ups and downs his whole life, Im used to it." "I still remember the first time I met your dad, I already had some assets. But your father earned more than me, yet lived a more miserable life." "I couldnt help but get curious and found out more." "Only then did I understand your familys situation a big man having to be both dad and mom, earning money to support the family, taking care of you three brothers, especially you, the good-for-nothing spendthrift, it was really exhausting!" "Later, by coincidence, we ended up living together. Oh, it was not a villa back then, just a bungalow. I felt like it was fate, we should help each other out." "So, I sent Qianmin to hang out with you, to keep an eye on you, and that went on for over a decade! Over a decade!" "To be honest, your Uncle Wu has been pretty good to you and your family, right?" "But why, Xiaobu, did you have to screw me over today?" "Your family is rich, I know youre successful, have people and money." "But you shouldnt treat your Uncle Wu like this!" "What good does it bring you to run my company into the ground?! "I just cant understand! Cant understand!" Wu Yuanren, fueled by the alcohol, rambled on about his anger, venting his dissatisfaction with Lu Xiaobu! It was also the biggest mistrust towards that stupid advertising campaign. "Do you still think its not okay?" Lu Xiaobu lit the cigarette Wu Yuanren threw to him and took a deep drag. "Of course, whos blind here? Lets not ask others, lets ask Qianmin. Come on, Qianmin, do you think that ad was stupid?" Wu Yuanren, with bleary eyes, looked everywhere for Wu Qianmins figure: "Qianmin, where are you?" "Dad, Im here." Standing behind the sofa, Wu Qianmin, feeling very distressed, quickly responded, "The ad is indeed stupid, but I believe in Xiaobu." "What good does your belief in him do, its just because he has money." Wu Yuanren collapsed on the sofa, almost too weak to speak: "Xiaobu, did you hear that? Even Qianmin thinks its stupid, so why did you have to betray me?" "Phew." Lu Xiaobu sighed softly: "Youre too drunk, I cant be bothered to talk to you anymore. Since you asked Qianmin, let her continue answering why she trusts me. Im leaving!" After saying that, Lu Xiaobu pushed open the door and left. With Wu Yuanren in this state, it was better not to waste words on him, better to wait until hes sober to talk. After Lu Xiaobu left, Wu Yuanren, barely coherent, asked Wu Qianmin: "Qianmin, why do you believe in Lu Xiaobu." "Dad, think about it, from the beginning till now, everyone thought Lu Xiaobu was squandering away, going crazy, his actions insane, but which one hasnt proven everyone wrong? Which one hasnt been a huge success?" "I wont talk about distant things, just take the anti-addiction system, I remember you even told me once that Lu Xiaobu had lost his mind, that he does things that amount to digging his own grave, but the result..." While talking, Wu Qianmin took the cigarette from Wu Yuanrens hand to prevent him from getting burned. Her words were filled with endless trust and admiration for Lu Xiaobu! "Seems like it." Wu Yuanren mumbled drowsily: "But I still dont believe it, if he really succeeds this time, Ill take you to propose, you like him anyway! Dont think I cant see it!" After speaking, Wu Yuanrens snoring started. "Ptui! Stupid old dad! Drunk and talking nonsense!" Wu Qianmin lightly spat, her face blushing as if about to bleed. He really was too drunk, which girl would go to propose to a boy! Also, since when did I like that spendthrift? Is it that obvious?! Cough, cough, cough! ... So, despite everyone not believing, not giving their approval, and even secretly cursing it, the stupid advertising campaign was ready to launch! Chapter 291 - 290: Brainwashing Begins [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 291: Chapter 290: Brainwashing Begins [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]Two days later, those high-quality science popularization soft articles had already spread across the internet. However, Brain Black Golds sales did not see any significant increase. This scene further chilled the hearts of everyone at Brain Black Gold Company. They felt that Brain Black Gold was thoroughly doomed this time! On that day, at eleven in the morning, the first wave of the advertising bombardment began. Everyone at Brain Black Gold Company was focused on the impact of this leading salvo. Even Wu Yuanren, who usually lived a life of debauchery, forcefully washed his head with cold water to calm himself down and start paying attention to the ads. The TV advertisement began. The screen suddenly displayed two characters that people on Earth were very familiar with. An old man and an old lady, these were personally vetted by Lu Xiaobu and gradually crafted by professionals. The effect was almost exactly the same as the "Brain White Gold" TV advertisement from his world. As soon as they appeared, the animated characters of the old man and old lady started bouncing around. "This year, for the holidays, no gifts to give!" "No gifts to give, no gifts to give! No gifts to give, no gifts to give!" "If youre giving gifts, give Brain Black Gold! Brain... Black... Gold!" The 15-second advertisement ended! After watching it, everyone at Brain Black Gold Company exclaimed in unisonindeed, its a brain-dead ad! Wu Yuanren even opened another bottle of Erguotou, unable to stop his eyes from moistening! He dedicated a song of farewell to himself. However, they felt the chills were their problem, and Liang Lans plan had to continue still. This was just the beginning. Three billion in advertising investment, the bombardment of brain-dead advertisements had started. In an instant, whether on TV, forums, Weibo, video sites, newspapers, in first-tier cities, second-tier cities, third-tier cities, or even county-level cities, this brain-dead ad popped up everywhere. Everyone was dumbfounded. It was as if the world had changed beyond recognition quietly within a single day. Everywhere they looked, they saw those two blindly bouncing old folks, and everywhere they listened, they heard that ungodly catchy lyric. Therefore! Netizens exploded! "Damn, what kind of brain-dead ad is this?! Are they sick?!" "Ha! What the hell is this?!" "I feel like Ive gone blind!" "What is this brain-dead ad?!" "Brain Black Gold? More like Brain Stupid Gold!" "The one above got it wrong, they already said its Brain Black Gold, blackening your own brains gold!" "Video sites are also full of these Brain Black Gold ads now! Such a scam! Im almost brainwashed! How can there be such a rubbish ad!" "What kind of company made this brain-dead ad, I want to curse at them!" Soon, someone revealed the truth. "This is an advertisement planned by Lu Xiaobu single-handedly; others just cooperated, this whole thing was orchestrated by Lu Xiaobu." Hearing the name Lu Xiaobu, for some reason, the cursing on the internet paused for a moment. "Eh... its Young Master Bu! Then it seems I kind of understand now!" "I also understand, it really is Young Master Bus style!" "I feel like I can kind of guess what Lu Xiaobu is thinking, he definitely did this on purpose to bombard us!" "..." Some even joined in. "This year, for the holidays, no gifts to give, if giving gifts, then give... receive!" "Give Brain Black Gold, hey, barter black!" "Damn it, I actually sang it out loud! Ive truly been brainwashed!" "Its so devilishly catchy!" ... However, these were just a small part; there were still more curses raining down like a storm. "The prodigal sons brain-dead advertisement, no refutations accepted, no explanations!" "Stupid ad, stupid Lu Xiaobu, no explanations!" "Lu Xiaobu is ill-fated all his life, especially this Brain Black Gold, dad would rather die than buy it." "..." Watching these curses, the people from Brain Black Gold Company showed an expression that indeed it was as expected. They said to Liang Lan in utter anguish. "President Liang, shall we change our advertisement?" "Yeah, really, lets drop this ad, I feel if this goes on, well be lynched!" "President Liang, please talk to Young Master Bu." "..." "Do your jobs, this isnt for you to worry about." Liang Lan rebuked, "Increase the advertising power again, invest another hundred million!" Others may not see its potential, but she did. See? Now people are starting to sing it. Give it some time, and she guaranteed that no one would ever be able to forget those two old men and woman, that devilish dance and song! ... Meanwhile, Wu Yuanren finally couldnt hold back any longer, hurriedly finding Lu Xiaobu who was having a meal: "Xiaobu, your Uncle Wu has never begged anyone in his life, Im scared now, I surrender, okay? I beg you today, lets change the advertisement, will you?" "No change." Lu Xiaobu said decisively. "Do you really want to see your Uncle Wu begging on the streets?" Wu Yuanren asked, filled with anger. "If thats your kind of entertainment, I dont mind, but if youre talking about being so poor to beg on the streets, thats unrealistic. Consider taking a bath in money," Lu Xiaobu replied nonchalantly. "Xiaobu, wont you really reconsider?!" Wu Yuanren said angrily. "Really wont." Lu Xiaobu was very sure: "And the sales will definitely explode!" "Explode my ass, things are already this bad and youre talking about sales explosion! Do you know how the industry is cursing me calling me an idiot?" Wu Yuanren exploded with anger: "If we still get explosive sales after this, I... Ill twist my head off!" "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu paused, then looked at Wu Yuanrens head, pondering: "I dont think my house has a place to put your head, besides, it wouldnt look good, maybe you should just shave your head bald, could probably use it as a light bulb." "Pfft!" Wu Yuanren almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood for three kilometers! After I said all that, youre still this confident?! Fine, Ill fight it out with you today! Lets wait and see! Its just the company, right?! I dont want it anymore, okay?! Wu Qianmin on the side was stomping in frustration: "Xiaobu, cant you give in a bit to my dad?" "Thats your dad, not mine." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Hmph, with the current situation, you can forget about hoping Id be your father!" Wu Yuanren coldly huffed with a deeper meaning! "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu was stunned. Uncle Wu is really something else! While they were talking, Lu Xiaobus phone rang. "Hello, dad, whats up?" Lu Xiaobu answered. "Whats up? What else could it be? That advertisement for your Uncle Wus company, did you pull that off?" Lus father inquired. "Yeah!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Xiaobu, listen to me! Messing around with others is one thing, but you have to draw the line with your Uncle Wu!" Lus father advised: "Your Uncle Wu helped us out a lot, if you end up really upsetting him, wrecking him, and it ends up preventing Qianmin from entering our family, be careful, Ill spank you when I get home!" "Dont worry, she will definitely not enter your doorstep!" Uncle Wu shouted angrily: "After ruining me like this, you all still have the nerve to think about my daughter? Do you have any shame?" "Uh... Old Wu is here." Lus father was suddenly embarrassed, this was quite the mess. "Dont worry, dad, I have my own plans, he will deliver Qianmin to our home!" Lu Xiaobu said with confidence. "Keep dreaming!" Wu Yuanren was fuming. What, does your family eat up ours!? Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu ignored him and continued eating. So, even his own dad, who usually dotes on him, doesnt believe this stupid ad will work! It is true that a normal person wouldnt believe it. However, reality is going to shock everyone to the core! Chapter 293 - 292: Hey, Bazzahei [4th Update, 22,000 Recommendation Votes] Chapter 293: Chapter 292: Hey, Bazzahei [4th Update, 22,000 Recommendation Votes]Wu Yuanren was on the scene in person, so happy he was almost insane, yet inside the Brain Black Gold Company, it was still a bleak atmosphere! "Game over, the companys done for." "Alas, everyone better get ready." "No need to prepare, Ive already packed up my stuff." "My mom helped me pull some strings, got me a job at a finance street office, Ill start working there after the New Year. Everyone should find their own way out." "The moment I heard that it was Lu Xiaobu, that prodigal sons, advertising plan, I knew it wouldnt work, and sure enough!" "This trashy ad? Forget others, I feel like a damn fool watching it, it makes me want to vomit the more I watch, I dont even dare to look up when I go home, afraid of being recognized!" "Alas, Boss Wu has been good to us, if the company werent going bankrupt, Id really like to keep working here." "So would I, but what can we do, the company can no longer operate, whos going to pay our salaries?" "..." And at this moment. Wu Yuanren rushed in, laughing heartily: "What are you all standing around for, hurry and prepare the stock! Tell the factory to work overtime and produce more! This years bonuses are all doubled!" The employees all sighed upon hearing this. "Its over, Boss Wu has gone mad!" "Boss Wu, you... hey, take it easy! Its okay!" "Right, if it really comes to it, Young Master Lu has money, he can hold up the company, we can just switch industries and keep on working!" "Well rise again sooner or later!" "..." All the employees were consoling Wu Yuanren. They thought Wu Yuanren couldnt handle the pressure and had lost his mind! They spoke kind words, but in reality, they all thought Wu Yuanren was done for, otherwise, they wouldnt be preparing to pack up and leave! After all, the health product business relies on reputation, without it, no amount of money helps! Unless he changes industries! But switching fields is like climbing over mountains, no field is easy! "Get lost, get lost, get lost, Im serious, you guys are the crazy ones! Hurry up and get ready, Im going to find Xiaobu!" Wu Yuanren didnt mind, as cheerful as a child! The crowd sighed again better pack up and prepare to leave! However, Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Just as everyone was getting ready to pack up and wait for bankruptcy, the companys phone suddenly started ringing off the hook, one call after another! Ring Ring Ring! Ring Ring Ring! Ring Ring Ring! Like a concert! "Scared me there." "Whats going on?" "So many calls?" A female employee, listless, answered a call, "Hello, Brain Black Gold Health Products Company...what? You say Chenxi Supermarket wants to reserve two hundred boxes? Are...are you sure? Really two hundred boxes...ah, I didnt mean that... alright alright alright! We, well arrange the stock right away!" Other employees over at the other end were the same, "What? Reserve five hundred boxes of Brain Black Gold?" After hanging up, he looked at his colleague in astonishment, "Is...is this a scam?" An elderly employee was shocked after hanging up the phone, "This is from Longteng Supermarket! They want to stock up with a total of two thousand boxes of Brain Black Gold for all the Longteng chains in Imperial! Holy moly, two thousand boxes!" The female employee exclaimed, "Oh my god, these people have gone crazy, havent they?" Everyone recalled an alarming answer in their minds Brain Black Gold was saved by that silly ad!? Are you kidding me? Stop joking, we cant take this kind of shock! ... Wu Yuanren hurried off to find Lu Xiaobu, but he wasnt in the office at all. This puzzled him because Lu Xiaobus ad had gone viral, saving their company. If he wasnt in the office counting money, waiting for their shock and admiration, where could he be? Where was Xiaobu now? Right now, he was out on the street. He started a live stream, something he hadnt done in ages, ready to have some fun. This whole advertising stunt, he was just playing, everything like sales was just incidental! Today was the day to check the results! "Oh my god, who are you, why are you in my following list!" "Young Master Bu, weve missed you so much!" "Its been half a year since my last live stream, hasnt it?" "Young Master Bu, cant you be a little more serious?!" "..." Xiaobu cursed at these bastards in the live room with a laugh: "Scram, scram, scram! Its already generous of me to do a live stream for you guys, what more do you want, a daily stream?! Dream on!" The viewers in the live room chuckled. "Young Master Bu, what are we playing today?" "Yeah, its been so long since youve taken us to have some real fun. Whats the plan today?!" "Why doesnt Young Master Bu play LOL? I heard your skills are unmatched!" "You mean unmatched in getting us killed, right?" "..." While chatting here, the number of people in the live room began to soar. No need for recommendations, no need for announcements, just the name Lu Xiaobu alone is enough to draw a million viewers! After all, this is the only chance they have to directly interact with a top tycoon who knows how to have fun! "Today, Im going to test the power of my advertisement." Xiaobu chuckled. The viewers were puzzled: "What advertisement?" "Just this..." Xiaobu smirked: "Dont want any gifts for the holidays this year! No gifts..." At once, viewers in the live room started wailing. "Young Master Bu, that brain-deadvertisement was really your doing?!" "That thing tormented me badly, you know? In todays exam, whenever I saw the words brain, black, or gold, my brain would automatically start looping that stupid advertisement!" "Me too, now whenever I see that advert, I dont even need to look further, it already plays all the way through in my mind!" "..." "So, Im going to check just how brainwashing my advertisement is! Hahahaha!" Xiaobu laughed heartily. After saying that, he went out onto the street and began looking for targets. Searching around, his gaze landed on a guy waiting for the bus while playing with his phone. He crept over, stood upright with a straight face, and then patted the guy on the shoulder: "Hey, bro, let me ask you something, dont want any gifts for the holidays, right? Answer" The guy playing with his phone got such a shock, then his mind went blank. But when he heard this soul-piercing demonic advert, he still unconsciously blurted out: "Dont want gifts, dont want gifts, only want Brain Black Gold! Hey, totally on point!" Can you imagine that scene? It was that kind of purely subconscious response, like when someone taps you, calls your name, and you subconsciously respondthe same kind of subconscious reaction! The relentless bombardment of Brain Black Gold adverts has brainwashed people so much that its almost become an instinct! Instantly! The live room viewers exploded with laughter! "Hahaha! OMG! 66666!" "Apart from 666, I have nothing else to say!" "Young Master Bu is awesome, I guessed right from the start, your ad was meant to brainwash people!" "Look at that guy, hes completely baffled, such a confused face!" "..." "Hahaha." Even Xiaobu couldnt help but burst into laughter: "Reward, five thousand!" Li Jin immediately transferred the money. The guy continued to be completely dumbfounded. From the beginning till now, his face has been full of bewilderment! Just waiting for a bus, how did he suddenly make five thousand bucks?! Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?! That expression was purely the Heavenly Dynasty version of a black guy with a question mark! "Alright, the next actif anyone can dance the old man and old ladys dance, youll get a reward of ten thousand!" Xiaobu was having the time of his life! And the viewers in the live room were also tremendously excited! Young Master Bu sure knows how to have fun! Every time I watch the live stream, I laugh my stomach sore! ... Xiaobu was having a blast here, but those in the business and advertising world who had racked their brains criticizing the brain-deadvertisement were all wearing a capitalized confused face! Yep, pretty much the same expression as that guy just now! Chapter 294 - 293: Blind Jumping Contest [23,000 recommendation votes, fifth update] Chapter 294: Chapter 293: Blind Jumping Contest [23,000 recommendation votes, fifth update]Lets not talk about the advertising and business world. Wu Yuanren eventually found Lu Xiaobu. Yes, he found him right on the street. At that moment, Lu Xiaobu was hosting a crazy hopping competition. Whoever hops the most alike, wins ten thousand bucks. Man, the participants were swarming. It made the spectators laugh their heads off! "Oh my, 666, this blind hopping gets 87 points, a solid eighty-seven." "So far, this ones the closest match, amazing 666!" "Hahahaha, Im dying laughing, look at that, its hilarious, are you trying to kill me with laughter and inherit my dinner?" "66666!" "..." "What are you doing here? The company is waiting for you to take charge. Whats next?" S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Wu Yuanren came over and said to Lu Xiaobu. He was truly impressed by Lu Xiaobu now! A ridiculous ad managed to explode the sales of Brain Black Gold, its really incredible! "Just having fun!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, then thought for a second, grinned mischievously, "Come on, Uncle Wu, take a turn!" "No dancing, no dancing." Wu Yuanren quickly waved his hands, rejecting the idea. Just now, his singing and dancing in the supermarket were entirely due to being drunk and an emotional outburst. Now, in front of this crowd, with Lu Xiaobu livestreaming it. He couldnt bring himself to do it. "If you dance, the sales of Brain Black Gold will double again." Lu Xiaobu smiled slightly, throwing out a bait. Well, he was spouting nonsense, as no one really knew how much the sales had increased! Getting something for nothing! "Get out of here, your dancing is terrible, you havent even got the costume right, watch me." Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words. What? Sales will double again? Its just dancing! And its for our companys ad, why the heck not! Immediately. He rolled up his sleeves, ran into a nearby supermarket, and bought a white wig to wear on his head. Then he waved his hands, clearing everyone off the stage. Before, he completely doubted Lu Xiaobu, now he utterly believed in him. Since Lu Xiaobu said, one dance could double the sales. Then dance he must! So! He started. To achieve the effect. He sang while dancing. Dancing enthralled, he was extremely excited. "This year for the holidays we dont accept gifts, no gifts, no gifts, only gifts we take are Brain Black Gold! Hey, dazzle black!" Imagine that scene with your rich imagination. People around were stunned! They also burst into laughter, clutching their bellies with laughter. "Oh my, 6666666666666!" "Awesome! Thats a perfect imitation! I give you 106 points, dont get cocky!" "Mind-blowingly good! Its too accurate!" "Absolutely the strongest of them all!" "..." Wu Qianmins face flushed with embarrassment, she glared at Lu Xiaobu, "Always full of clever tricks, my dad cares about his image so much, today youve totally put him on the spot!" "Hehe." Lu Xiaobu just smiled without responding. What? Someone say its revenge? Revenge for Wu Yuanren not believing in him earlier? Impossible?! What do you mean, is Lu Xiaobu that petty? Haha, yes! The live stream viewers also went wild. "666! For this uncle, take a treasure map!" "Uncle is blasting awesome!" "I cant, I must share this!" "Quick, quick, record it and share it out!" "..." For a period, the night was dominated by Wu Yuanrens demonic dance. Even some people imitated it! At the company, Liang Lan keenly noticed this. She continued to engage her thinking in the unique manner she used for Lu Xiaobu. Several key terms began to connect in her mind, forming combinations! Rewards, live streaming, dancing, advertising, recording, competition! Got it! Liang Lan suddenly had a brainwave and immediately ordered, "Broadcast this message across the entire networksponsored by the company, initiate an advertising imitation contest, the most accurate imitation, rated highest by the public, wins a million yuan reward!" The companys people gasped in shock! "Damn, terrifying!" "Going with the flow! They want to turn this ridiculous ad into a trend!" "Reverse the impact, magnify it, and further enhance the ads value!" "This one million might even be more effective than the previous hundred million!" "Respect, indeed Tian Jilan!" "..." Liang Lan smiled slightlyit was all just about interpreting the Young Masters intention. If only Lu Xiaobu knew, hed certainly sayyeah, I genuinely didnt mean anything else, just genuinely wanted to see Wu Yuanren dance! But no matter, the outcome was positive. Upon the release of this message, the entire internet exploded. A million yuan, thats a million! Nobody doubted the authenticity of this messageafter all, it was announced by Lu Xiaobu, how could it be fake?! Consequently, a fierce, all-network imitation contest began! Countless people strove to perform their best, to be the best! As to who won and who lost, theres no need to elaborate here! Nonetheless, for Brain Black Gold, just like Lu Xiaobus inadvertent remarks before, sales doubled once again! ... The entire advertising world was in turmoil! At a renowned advertising firm, the boss slammed the table and shouted! "What the hell is this creativity!? Why cant you all think of anything like it?! Huh! Is it that difficult? Its just two old men and women dancing!" The employees remained silent. And secretly lamented in their hearts. Boss, its easy for you to talk, isnt it! If we had proposed this sort of plan earlier, are you sure you wouldnt have killed us?! Dont forget who scoffed at their ad just a few days ago, even saying youd eat shit if such an ad succeeded! Now it has succeededyes, youre the boss, no one would dare make you eat shit, but you cant just spew nonsense at us! ... Another company. "Come on, lets analyze this, why did this ad take off!?" "What exactly is the key to this ad, its really strange!" "It doesnt follow any rules! Ive studied advertising, but it was never mentioned this way, theres never been a precedent like this!" "Does anyone have a classmate or friend working at the company that advertised Brain Black Gold? Call them and seek advice!" "I have a friend there, he was in charge of creating the animated characters for the Brain Black Gold advertisement. But when I asked, he just said one thing..." "What did he say? Dont keep us in suspense, spit it out!" "He said, Lu Xiaobu is awesome!" "Pfft!" Everyone was in shock! They figured it out; all of this was engineered by Lu Xiaobu alone. Unable to learn, unable to mimic, kneeling and begging for mercy was their only option! ... Business world. A health product company. "Xiao Wang, what are you doing?" Xiao Wang: "Im just participating in the contest." Xiao Wang was extremely embarrassed; he had hoped to seize the bosss absence to try his luck and perhaps win the prize money, but he didnt expect to be caught! "You think Im blind?!" The boss erupted in anger: "Thats our competitors Brain Black Gold advertisement! What, you want to be a traitor?!" "No, no, I was just trying!" Xiao Wang hastily tried to explain. "Get out, pack your stuff and get out!" the boss thundered: "And anyone else who participated in the contest, get out too!" Thus. The boss watched as everyone in the company silently began to pack their things. "Alright, alright, I know you were trying to study why the competitors campaign was a success, my bad, continue working." The boss, on the verge of tears, walked into his office! How the hell am I supposed to play this game? HOW? Everyones betrayed me, who will tell me what to do?! Lu Xiaobu, must you be so ruthless?! I yield, alright? Is that sufficient? Just give us a way to survive!

It was as if her old man had gone haywire, becoming addicted to leaping around. Back at the company. Wu Yuanren took the lead in cleaning up all the wine bottles in the room, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to enter. "Uncle Wu, you dont have to be so formal." Lu Xiaobu said with a smile. "Its the least I can do, now that youre my boss." Wu Yuanren said with a chuckle. Seeing Brain Black Gold come back to life, his own spirit was similarly revived. "Dont you think the commercial is brain-dead?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Brain-dead, still think its brain-dead, but brain-dead ads work miracles!" Wu Yuanren asked excitedly, "Xiaobu, how did you know this ad would take off like this?" "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Lu Xiaobu said mysteriously. "Alright, alright, if you wont tell, you wont tell. Anyway, Ive decided, Im not changing the ad for the next five years, well stick with this one." Wu Yuanren didnt pry any further. "Ahem, who was it that said if the sales went up theyd do something?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, jesting while staring at Wu Yuanrens head. He certainly couldnt pretend not to have heard the outrageous pledges made earlier. "Oh, if the sales go up, Ill take Wu Qianmin to your family to ask for your hand in marriage." Wu Yuanren immediately sold his daughter without hesitation. After all, his daughter also liked Lu Xiaobu, might as well seize the opportunity and settle it all. "Huh?!" Lu Xiaobu was baffled, this was not what they had agreed upon! "Dad!" Wu Qianmin stomped her foot with her face flushed and turned to run away! This damn old man, always so concerned about face, yet he sells his daughter so casually. "Go, go, go, you go on with your business, I cant be bothered to talk to you anymore." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively and rolled his eyes. After all, Wu Yuanren was his uncle; he shouldnt be too harsh. There has to be a limit. ... Now in the advertising and business worlds, they all recognize the power of Lu Xiaobus commercial. But the general public outside doesnt know yet. They are all in a love-hate phase right now. That is, verbally bashing the brain-dead commercial, decrying it as an eyesore, yet they cant help but carry Brain Black Gold home, and some even want to vie for the million-dollar prize. On Weibo. "Again?" "The brain-dead ad is playing on TV again!" Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh my goodness! Young Master Bu, please spare me! How many ads is that today? Now in my dreams, whenever someone mentions Brain Black Gold, I can jump up and do a Bazah Black!" "The commercial is so crummy!" "Yeah, Ive never seen anything so crummy!" "Brain Black Gold Company really has guts, how can they dare to use such an ad?" Ordinary people were cursing, and some so-called professionals were also cursing! These so-called professionals are those who think theyve made a couple of commercials, or even just participated in some minor aspects of productionthe so-called experts! As the saying goes, a full bottle doesnt make a sound, a half-filled one clinks loudly! Real advertising companies have already kneeled down and called Lu Xiaobu Daddy! But these half-filled bottles have instead become arrogant! They talk about "low culture" and "low quality". They say it doesnt comply with the laws of advertising. They say that it can hardly be called an advertisement anymore, its too trashy! The fiercest among these industry insiders said, "Even idiots wouldnt buy into a product promoted by such garbage advertising!" "Yeah." "Only a fool would buy it!" Many people echoed. And then! The news is out! "Sales Explode, Brain Black Gold Sales Experience Exponential Growth" "Real Shots, Incoming Orders Nonstop, Employees Busy as Dogs" "Sales Figures Notice: Current Statistics Show Sales Have Increased by One Hundred Times!" "One hundred times! One hundred times!" The news above is definitely just joining in on the hype. "Daily Sales Surpass a Seasons Worth" "In-Factory Scene Shot, Sterile Environment, Clean and Tidy, Meticulous" "Interview with Brain Black Golds CEO Wu, Unveiling the Astounding Secret Behind the Marketing Success" People were clicking in droves, wanting to find out what the astounding secret was. Well, CEO Wu said the big secret isXiaobu is awesome! Everyone who saw the news nearly choked on their own blood! Soon, netizens began to curse. "Stupid editor." "Clickbait, garbage editor!" "All mouth and no trousers, the content is all made up!" "..." However, as much as they cursed, they thoroughly understood just how terrifying the sales figures for Brain Black Gold were. After all, so many news reports couldnt be lying. That so-called expert no longer dared to speak, hastily deleting his Weibo posts, vanishing without a trace. There was a general silence. "Wow, what a brainless ad, its a miracle!" "Nonsense, its clearly Young Master Bu whos the miracle, how did this even happen!?" "You gotta admit it!" "But, lets not talk smack about their production, its really clean, makes buying their product comfortable!" "Young Master Bu, do you still need a lackey? I can do anything." "Hahahahaha, look at my expression, you up there want to be Young Mister Bus lackey, hahaha!" "Get lost, get lost, get lost, I know Im not worthy, is it a crime just to think about it?!" "..." ... That very night, Wu Yuanren, who hadnt visited the Lu Family for a long time, brought his whole family to mooch a meal and drink at the Lus. Lus father and Wu Yuanren, the two old buddies, were drinking and laughing together. "Damn, when I had no money, you could put aside your dignity and fight with me and my family for food. So whats up now? Now that my son has made something of himself, you keep your distance from me?" Lus father cursed cheerily as he raised his glass to Wu Yuanren. "Hey, it was just my pride acting up! Now thats gone, Ive lost all my pride. Anyway, now Im working for your son." Wu Yuanren said as he drank and burped. "What do you mean your son, my son? Isnt my son your son, too?" Lus father scoffed. "Hey, thats true." Wu Yuanren chuckled, "Anyway, from today, Im entrusting Qianmin to your Lu Family. If she gets bullied, Im not going to let you off the hook!" "And you think you could let me off? Come on, lets spar; its been years since we last did." Lus father put down his glass and teased. "Damn, as if Im scared of you." Wu Yuanren was not to be outdone. The two elders, whose combined ages were over a hundred years old, actually began to spar in the living room. The onlookers were scared witless. But although they were worried, there was general merriment. Wus mother laughed, "Its been a long time since Ive seen Old Wu this happy." "Indeed, I thought my dad had forgotten how to smile." Wu Qianmin commented with a smirk. Lu Hongbin was also laughing heartily, "Same with my dad. This year must be the happiest year hes ever had." "Of course, Xiaobus health has improved, mom has been brought back, the relationship with Uncle Wu has been restored, and youre married too. How could he not be happy? Hes so happy hes grinning ear to ear in his sleep!" Lu Wenhuo was also brimming with joy. The two families discussed cheerfully while watching the carefree, seemingly heartless wastrel by their sideLu Xiaobu. Even though it had been said countless times. But it still felt unbelievable to think about it now. Who would have thought that just in half a year, a little wastrel could change so much? Lu Xiaobu grinned, "No gifts for the holidays this year!" "No gifts, no gifts, except Brain Black Gold as gifts, hey, so trendy!" Everyone was reflecting on what was said, and then instinctively shouted. Then... "Come on, Xiaobu, here you are, I promise I wont beat you to death!" Chapter 296 - 295: Cuckolded! [2nd Release, Please Subscribe] Chapter 296: Chapter 295: Cuckolded! [2nd Release, Please Subscribe]Everyone knows that the closer it gets to the Chinese New Year before the holiday, the busier it becomes. Students are busy with exams, workers are hustling for performance achievements, and managers are occupied preparing for the annual party, each on their toes, just so they can enjoy a peaceful New Year. Even our homebody, Lu Xiaobu, is keeping busy. What with, you ask? Chasing debts. "Big bro, hand over the money." Lu Xiaobu ran after Lu Wenhuo, demanding payment. "What for, what for? What money do you need?" Lu Wenhuo feigned ignorance with his expression. "You told me six months ago that if I could handle Wu Qianmin, youd give me your scholarship money," Lu Xiaobu said, righteously indignant. "Now, dont even mention handling it; even Uncle Wu acknowledges it, so your million yuan scholarship is mine." "Hehehe, you stinky brat, do you still care about that trifling amount of money from me?" Lu Wenhuo couldnt help but laugh in exasperation. "You can skim more off the top playing Water Knife than what I make." "Its not the same thing. Playing Water Knife is to earn Water Knife money; the money you promised is the money you promised. This isnt about the amount; its about principle." Lu Xiaobu patted his chest, saying, "I am someone with principles." "Okay, okay." Lu Wenhuo was also getting annoyed by Lu Xiaobu. He said to him, "Fine, lets go. Originally, your big bro planned to consider it as private funds for after I get married, but well, sigh!" Lu Xiaobu flashed a victorious smile: "No worries, if you ever run out of pocket money in the future, just ask your little brother here. I can easily give you one or two billion; no big deal." Before he mentioned it, it was fine, but now that he brought it up, Lu Wenhuo rolled his eyes even harder: "One or two billion doesnt faze you, yet here you are, fussing over a million or so for half a year. Youre really something!" The two entered the bedroom of Lu Wenhuo, which could almost pass as a study. Lu Wenhuo opened the leftmost drawer of his desk, took out a box, and handed it to Lu Xiaobu: "Here you go, its all inside." "Got it." Lu Xiaobu immediately opened the box with excitement. It contained not only money, but all the remnants of Lu Wenhuos school days. There were various medals, certificates, solo photos, class group photos, among others; one could say this box contained all the memories of Lu Wenhuos school days. Moreover, it didnt take long for Lu Xiaobu to discover a surprise that was both expected yet unexpected. He stealthily pulled out a photo, raising an eyebrow, "Big bro, whos this?" "Cough cough cough, where did you find that?" As soon as Lu Wenhuo saw it, he hurriedly tried to snatch the photo back: "Take your money, but dont mess with my photos." "That wont do. If you dont tell me the story behind this photo, Im not giving it to you." Lu Xiaobu wouldnt let Lu Wenhuo off the hook. They say Lu Wenhuo is an emotional idiot, but judging from this, thats not true at all! Thats more like it; who doesnt have a bit of youthful romance? Lu Xiaobus curiosity was now ablaze. "Alright, alright." Lu Wenhuo sighed and could only sit on the bed and begin recounting his long-sealed youthful days to Lu Xiaobu. "You also know, back then, our family wasnt as wealthy as it is now; it all depended on our eldest brother, who had to take care of our entire family plus you, the prodigal fool. So our family was not as glamorous as it seemed on the outside, and I lived quite modestly during my school days." "Some even wanted to apply for financial aid for me; that was quite the joke at the time, which dad went to explain himself." As Lu Wenhuo reached this point, he affectionately ruffled Lu Xiaobus hair. The prodigal fool as referred to by the Lu family members is clearly an endearment, not a reproach. Lu Xiaobu chuckled awkwardly, although it was the former prodigal fools doing, he couldnt help but take the blame. "And then, I met her..." Lu Wenhuo got lost in his memories, recounting to Lu Xiaobu his youthful days. Lu Xiaobu listened with great interest; eavesdropping on someone elses secrets felt rather exhilarating. However, Lu Xiaobus curiosity soon turned to anger. Because that woman was a complete harpy! His slightly emotively challenged big brother diligently played the roles of both the understudy and the cuckold! "Wheres that woman now?" Lu Xiaobu sprang to his feet, unable to tolerate any further. "Enough, you." Lu Wenhuo grabbed Lu Xiaobu, "I knew you guys had a temper, thats why I didnt tell you." "No way." Lu Xiaobu stubbornly said, "Its not okay to bully someone like this, despising us for being poor while still eyeing your scholarship. Being a backup is bad enough, but to be cuckolded in the end? Ill hunt that bitch down to the ends of the earth!" "Will you listen or not? Will you listen?!" Lu Wenhuo put on a stern face, exuding the authority of an elder brother. Lu Xiaobus reaction reminded him of how their big brother reacted when he first found out about this. What a scene it was, big brothers face sunk with anger, ready to slash that bastard with a knife. To speak irreverently, in that moment, Lu Wenhuo even felt like it was big brother who had been cheated on, not himself. Thats how the Lu family is, suffering in silence when wronged, it just passes. But let someone try to wrong my brother! Go on, I dare you!!! "Huh!" Seeing Lu Wenhuos stern face, Lu Xiaobu didnt want to clash with his second brother and could only turn his face away, sulking. That damn woman, such a damn bully! "Alright, alright, Im not even upset, but look how angry you are." Lu Wenhuo put an arm around Lu Xiaobus shoulder: "Actually, its not really being cuckolded, since I havent even held her hand. It was just a verbal acknowledgment of being boyfriend and girlfriend, and that only lasted a day." Lu Xiaobu kept his face unchanged, but his heart was still full of fury. So what if he had never dated? Who doesnt know for a romance, especially a first love, the moment you acknowledge the relationship its even more thrilling than the actual deep interactions? Especially for someone as introverted as Lu Wenhuo, its even more true. Its your freedom to not accept, fine. But you accepted today, and tonight you climb openly into someone elses bed! And this isnt being cuckolded?! This is plainly, in your face, letting you see youre being cuckolded! Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. So-called being cuckolded, its hateful to tamper with the body, but to tamper with emotions is equally, if not more, unforgivable! When the opportunity arises, he must find that damn woman and get revenge. They were just talking about this. When Li Xides call came in. Lu Wenhuo stood up and answered the call. "Hello, President Li, whats up?" Lu Wenhuo asked. He and Li Xide were not the type very good at running companies, so many issues were handled by discussing between the two of them. "About those people who defaulted on their installment payments, Ive already sent people to chase them, but they still refuse to pay, what should we do?" Li Xide said with some discomfort. "Still refusing to pay? How about taking back the phones?" Lu Wenhuo frowned as well. "If they were willing to give back the phones, we wouldnt have this problem, would we?" Li Xide said incredulously. "What, dealing with a deadbeat?" Lu Xiaobu stood up, rolling up his sleeves, "Let me handle this!" Just the right occasion to vent his pent-up anger. He might be generous, but he has zero tolerance for debt dodgers! Its clear from the fact he insists on collecting the money his brother promised him! Even if I give you a billion, and you take it, thats because I am willing to give it to you. But if you borrow from me, even fifty cents, you better pay it Chapter 297 - 296 King of Deadbeats [Third Release, 24,000 Recommendation Votes Bonus] Chapter 297: Chapter 296 King of Deadbeats [Third Release, 24,000 Recommendation Votes Bonus]Hearing that Lu Xiaobu was about to take action, Lu Wenhuo and Li Xide couldnt help but quietly pity the deadbeat for three seconds. You refuse to pay back the money you owe, taking others kindness as your capital to flaunt around, now that Lu Xiaobu has arrived, are you prepared for the aftermath? This time Li Xide smartened up, rushing immediately to Lu Xiaobus side. This time, he was determined to follow the Young Master, and no one was going to drive him away. Actually, it wasnt like anyone was competing with him for that, everyone was busy. "Okay, Li Xide, give us an update on the situation." Lu Xiaobu asked. "Sure, Young Master, heres the situation: you initiated an installment payment method for our Shadow Phone. Most people do pay on time, and even if they cant pay for a while, they catch up after some communication." "However, there are some deadbeats who consistently refuse to pay, always finding excuses to delay." "And the biggest deadbeat among them is a man named Wei Chen, he has been in debt for four months now, and he even assembled a bunch of other deadbeats online, forming some sort of Rob the Rich to Aid the Poor Alliance." Li Xide detailed the situation and even showed Lu Xiaobu this so-called Rob the Rich to Aid the Poor alliance. Lu Xiaobu was amused and angry after seeing it. These guys are shameless! Not only do they not mention their failure to repay debts, but they also continuously exploit the publics resentment towards the rich, demonizing Lu Xiaobu. They have glorified their shameless actions under the guise of so-called justice. He had seen deadbeats before, but he had never seen such shameless ones. Rob the Rich to Aid the Poor?! Today, I will show you what being rich is! "Lets go, move out." Lu Xiaobu led Zhang Meng, Li Jin, and Li Xide, his three generals, to confront Wei Chen, the ringleader of the deadbeats. ... In Province T. A quaint two-story building stood among the mountains and rivers, towering over its surroundings. Those who know could tell just by the appearance, that the construction cost of this small building was no less than a million. Of course, in todays housing market where prices easily soar into the millions, this building was nothing extraordinary. But the strange thing was, despite its unpretentious look, a crowd of mid-range cars gathered outside the house. To Lu Xiaobu, who was accustomed to luxury cars, these vehicles were no big deal, but for the average family or villager, they were considered quite decent. Yet, the villagers wore an expression of unsurprise. "Here they come again, what exactly does this Wei family do for a living that people are always turning up at their doorstep with gifts?" "Who knows! Clearly, its some money-making business, look, they even managed to build that two-story house in a few years." "But Ive heard that these people are here to collect debts, it seems like Wei owes a lot of money." "Nonsense, have you ever seen debt collectors bringing gifts? Even if nowadays debtors are treated like kings, it shouldnt be to this extent!" "Thats true. These arent ordinary people after all, cant they deal with just one Wei?" "..." The villagers chatted then dispersed, hanging up the matter as if it didnt concern them. Just another piece of gossip for them. Inside the two-story building, however, the scene was something they could never imagine. Wei Chen reclined in his chair, smoking and watching TV, looking every bit the arrogant landlord. The expressions of the people around him were diverse. Some looked angry, desperate, pleading, and others appeared indifferent. "Wei Lao San, Im telling you, you need to pay me back today! Otherwise, we wont be done!" Wang Changdong bellowed angrily, appearing ready to fight Wei if he didnt get his money back. "Whatever!" Wei Chen scoffed at Wang Changdongs words, casually waved his hand: "The kitchen knife is in the kitchen, theres a fruit knife in the coffee table drawer, and if thats not enough, theres a gas cylinder in the kitchen. Turn it on and light a cigarette to calm down!" He had seen plenty of these desperate moves, they were nothing to bother about! His fearless tone enraged Wang Changdong even more: "Alright, you think Im scared? Just you wait!" Wang Changdong finished speaking and rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and charged at Wei Chen! This Wei Chen, back then borrowed one hundred thousand from him, claiming it was for business. But since then, he completely disappeared. It took him great effort to finally find this place, and after two visits, Wei Chen still refuses to repay the money. This was already the third time, and he couldnt delay his daughters surgery any longer! He urgently needed this money! Otherwise, he would have to resort to those fatal high-interest loans that lead to ruin and destruction! However! Just as he was rushing out, he was pinned down by three to five people. "What are you doing? Let go of me! Im going to fight him to the death!" Wang Changdong was shouting. "Brother, calm down, calm down!" An older uncle, Jiao Xinkai, took the kitchen knife from Wang Changdong and handed him a cigarette: "Have a smoke to calm down, this wont solve your problem." "He owes you guys money too, right? Why are you still helping him?" Wang Changdong was both puzzled and furious! Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Why?" Uncle Jiao Xinkai sighed bitterly, helplessly saying, "Because if you fought him to death, who would pay us back? What else could be the reason!" "What should I do then? What can I do?!" Unable to bear it, Wang Changdong burst into tears, holding his head: "My daughter is still waiting for the money to have surgery!" "Ah!" The others all sighed, but there was nothing they could do. Everyone has their own difficulties, who has it easy? Lying on the recliner, Wei Chen sneered, "Enough, stop the damned crying, didnt you see Im watching TV here! If you want to cry, go cry outside!" To be such a deadbeat to this extent, he could damn well be considered top tier! His words made everyone at the scene quiet down! Their faces conveyed both repression and helplessness! The tactics used by Wang Changdong were already considered low-level leftovers to them. Talking about fighting to the death, they had many tricks, but Wei Chen had ways to cope with all of them. You go post big-character posters denouncing his behavior as a deadbeat? Hed let you do it. If the publicity is small, not only will no one believe it! Other creditors will still have to clarify on his behalf under his coercion. If the publicity is big, its not worth it! Even if you get the money back, the cost would exceed what you retrieve! You talk about hiring a debt collection company, those people from the underworld? Ha, he knows the local thugs better; they act fiercer than you. You throw paint, hell have someone smash your car! You send people to harass, he dares to have someone hit you with a brick! Some even say to sue him? Is he afraid youll sue?! His subpoenas from the court probably fill up an entire filing cabinet! Courts order him for enforced repayment, but you cant find any of his money, could only move some furniture, but its just a drop in the bucket! Moreover, this way, youll anger him, and hell still find ways to trouble you. Who dares provoke him?! So, theyve resigned themselves to fate! They can only carry things over every day, hoping that Wei Chen might repay the money. Some say, would this deadbeat repay the money? Yes! Every day he randomly repays one persons money, and that remains their only hope. But, the process of repaying money is just... sigh! At this moment Wei Chen finished an episode of the TV series, turned off the TV, stretched lazily, "Alright, whose money should I repay today?" Chapter 298 - 297: Not Making Money? [4th Release, 25,000 Votes for Additional Release] Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Not Making Money? [4th Release, 25,000 Votes for Additional Release]"Time to pay up." Wei Chens words "pay up" were spat out and immediately everyone in the room was as excited as pets about to be fed. They were all just waiting for this moment every day. Wei Chen saw their expressions and snorted coldly. You think you can fight me? Youre all too green! Just keeping you all on tenterhooks like this so youll never really go down the path of a desperate fight with me. He pulled out an expensive cigar. Without him needing to say anything, Jiao Xinkai, the uncle who had previously advised Wang Changdong, quickly stepped forward, took out a match, and lit the cigar for Wei Chen. The other debt collectors were a step too slow and watched the scene with sighs of regret. "Good!" Wei Chen nodded in satisfaction and casually blew a smoke ring, filling the living room with the aroma of the cigar. "What was your name again?" Wei Chen glanced at Jiao Xinkai and asked. With so many nuisances around, he couldnt possibly remember every single ones name. "My name is Jiao Xinkai." Jiao Xinkai said with a frustrated yet ingratiating smile. "Oh, Jiao Xinkai, I remember now, I owe you three hundred thousand, right?" Wei Chen recalled with some impression. "Yes, yes, yes!" Jiao Xinkai said, suppressed. In fact, Wei Chen owed him three hundred and twenty thousand, but he had already given up on the twenty thousand. "What gift did you bring today?" Wei Chen looked at the pile of gifts at the door and asked. This man was a complete landowner. "The finest birds nest, I brought it from the place of origin." Jiao Xinkai continued with his frustrated smile. Damn, he must bring gifts every day, or it wont even be his turn. "Thats not bad, alright, Ill repay you today." Wei Chen nodded lightly, as though he was bestowing a favor. Disgusting! "Thank you, thank you!" Jiao Xinkai was frustrated beyond words. Paying off debts is a matter of course! In the past, it was the debt collectors who were the bosses, but now, its the debtors who are the bosses, no, this is basically the Emperor, and he still has to say thank you! Seriously, have you ever encountered deadbeats? Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The kind that wont repay you even if they have money, its unbearably frustrating! "You know the rules, right?" Wei Chen continued to ask. "Yes, I know!" Jiao Xinkai quickly nodded. Wei Chen nodded, took out his phone, and dialed a number, his face instantly switching to a sycophantic smile, "Ah, Brother Wang! Long time no see! Where are you making money these days? Im in a bit of trouble, you know..." Seeing Wei Chens expression, the debt collectors were all burning with rage but dared not express it. They had all been deceived by Wei Chens expression at the beginning. Yes, Wei Chen was borrowing money now! Robbing Peter to pay Paul! Borrowing money and then repaying them! And the one being repaid was also responsible for cooperating with Wei Chen, just like Jiao Xinkai now. "Yes, Im working on a project with Mr. Wei, its that what... who are you asking who I am, I am that person..." Jiao Xinkai, holding back the feeling of wanting to vomit, strained to cooperate with Wei Chen. Once Wei Chen borrowed the money, he would repay him. There will also be those who say, his behavior is shameless, helping a scoundrel deceive others! But what choice does he have?! When you find yourself in his shoes. Would you choose to righteously refuse the money? Or would you choose to help Wei Chen deceive others and solve your own problems first?! Better to betray a friend than to let myself die! Nobody should laugh at anyone! ... After several hours of various acts and routines, it was almost dark! "Dudu!" Wei Chen ended the call with a smile at the corner of his mouth, removed the SIM card from his phone, snapped it in two, and tossed it into the ashtray to be destroyed with a cigar! Today was a lucky day; he managed to borrow some money on the first try. And it was five hundred thousand. Someone asked, after borrowing five hundred thousand, whether he would pay back another persons money. Like Wang Changdong, who was waiting to get surgery for his daughter? Ha, what a joke?! What did his life or death have to do with him!? "Alright, you did well. Wait for me, Ill go withdraw the money for you!" Wei Chen nodded in satisfaction at Jiao Xinkai, picked up the car keys to a Maserati more expensive than anyone in the room, and went out to withdraw money. His cash was hidden secretly, and not all in the same place. Even if someone tracked him, they wouldnt get much! This is the life of an old debtor, living in a villa, driving luxury cars, smoking cigars with other peoples lifesaving money. Its sickening to the core, makes one wish to stab him dead! ... When Wei Chen left, Lu Xiaobu and his group also arrived at the two-story house and walked in. "Wheres Wei Chen? Who is Wei Chen?" Lu Xiaobu looked around the packed living room and frowned. Everyone present was preoccupied with their own money issues, and when they heard Lu Xiaobu, no one bothered with him. They were all too busy with their own problems; who had time for Lu Xiaobu? Only Jiao Xinkai, who had just secured his moneynot happy, but not too bad of a mood, spoke up, "Are you here for money too?" It was getting dark, the lights in the living room were off, and everyone was too busy trying to get their money, without time to keep up with the news. So, for a moment, nobody recognized Lu Xiaobu. "Right, whos Wei Chen?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. "Wei Chen isnt here, wait a moment," said Jiao Xinkai, casually adding, "By the way, how much does Wei Chen owe you? Ten thousand, twenty thousand, or fifty thousand?" "Him? I think he owes me seventy or eighty thousand." Lu Xiaobus memory was a bit unclear, but with interest and fines, it should be about that. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, The debt collectors were stunned then let out a collective bitter laugh. "Kid, take my advice, forget about the seventy or eighty thousand; its not worth it." "Yeah, just think of it as feeding a dog. Otherwise, the money you spend on giving gifts to stay here would exceed seventy or eighty thousand." "Weve been through this, heed our advice. Go back where you came from, forget this matter and live a happy life." "We havent even got our hands on tens or even hundreds of thousands and you think you can get yours?!" "..." These debt collectors clearly didnt take Lu Xiaobus attempt to collect money seriously, Even with a touch of mockery in their tone. Coming here for such a small sum, he must be out of his mind! Doesnt he know hes facing the number one debtor in Jianghu?! In the end, he will probably be conned even more! This is humanity, always able to make the best out of a bad situation, finding those they perceive as worse off to satisfy their own psyche. "Its not a matter of how much money but that he owes me and must pay me back." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. After listening to Lu Xiaobu, the mocking expressions on their faces became more evident. These people had been warped by Wei Chen, and they unexpectedly started looking forward to seeing Lu Xiaobu hit a wall and get a bloody head! Then, they, as experienced people, could take perverse pleasure in lecturing Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu looked at their expressions and shook his head dispassionately. Poor souls! They really think hes like them! Forget seventy or eighty thousand! Even if the other party just evaded a debt of fifty cents, he would spend a billion to get it back! Chapter 299 - 298: No Compromise on Power? 【Fifth Update, 26k Recommendation Tickets Extra】 Chapter 299: Chapter 298: No Compromise on Power? Fifth Update, 26k Recommendation Tickets Extra"Ouch, new guy here?" Wei Chen twirled the car keys on his index finger, asking, "Seeing such a luxurious car at the door, I must owe you a lot, huh? Tell me, maybe I can repay you first." Previously he mentioned, he could no longer remember how many people he owed money to, nor did he know how much he owed each of them. Anyway, as long as he maintained his own strategiesfight fearlessly, never compromise on force, and keep a balanced budgethe could toy with everyone in between applause. He feared no one. However, Lu Xiaobu did not respond to Wei Chens question. Many high-ranking individuals had to speak to him in a pleading tone. And now some nobody expects him to answer? "Zhang Meng, open the window, turn on the light." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. The air here is too dense, uncomfortable. "Yes." Zhang Meng prepared to open both the windows and the door. "F***, what the hell are you doing? Are you mistaken about something?" Wei Chen sneered coldly, instantly ignited. On his turf, not answering him and acting on their own accord. This was the type of rookie who doesnt fear tigers. Such a person must be taught a lesson. With that thought, he settled into a lounge chair, resting his hands behind his head fearlessly, "Someone pissed me off today, Im really upset. If someone helps me release this anger, maybe I can repay one more person." Upon hearing this, the debt collectors who felt hopeless suddenly saw red, all breathing heavily through their noses. Especially Wang Changdong, waiting for money for surgery, was like a rutting bull, instantly leaping up and charging towards Lu Xiaobu. Slap! Li Jinyi pressed down on Wang Changdongs head with a slap, immobilizing him. If it werent for the fact that these people were all unfortunate souls desperately needing money, daring to lay a hand on Young Master, this slap would have plastered him against the wall. "Let me go, let me go." Wang Changdong roared with bloodshot eyes: "I need money, for my daughter, I need money." "Let him sleep." Lu Xiaobu said flatly. Those pitiable are also despicable. Although he didnt know this persons troubles, anyone who chooses to sacrifice others for their own benefit in the first instance. Perhaps he shouldnt be hated, but he surely doesnt deserve sympathy! "Yes." Li Jin responded, fingers as sharp as a knife, lightly tapping a critical nerve on Wang Changdongs neck. Wang Changdong instantly rolled his eyes back and fell unconscious. Li Jin gently hooked and laid Wang Changdong in the corner. Such scenes are usually only seen on TV, but in reality, it is achievable. But the prerequisite is, like Li Jin, one must be able to control the force precisely and with finesse. Only then can they ensure not causing lifelong disabilities or concussion! Seeing this scene, the other debt collectors gasped in shock. They were afraid. A slap that could knock a person out, even if they all banded together, could they withstand even a few slaps? Money is important, but life is more valuable! "Still someone trained?" Wei Chen burst into rage. "However, this is my turf, you want to repay, even if youre a dragon coil around, a tiger must lie down!" "Slap!" Just then, Zhang Meng turned the light on. Those accustomed to the dark were suddenly dazzled by the bright light, squinting their eyes. Wei Chen was no exception. Already in a furious state, he was further provoked by the blinding light and Lu Xiaobus autonomous actions, descending into madness! "Do you f***ing believe I wont let you walk out of here?!" S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Wei Chen roared, squinting. Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to speak, waved his hand. Zhang Meng immediately nodded, approached Wei Chen, and grabbed his collar. "What are you doing!? F***!" Wei Chen struggled immediately. But how could he possibly get away from Zhang Mengs grip? Zhang Meng exerted a little force, and Wei Chen was thrown onto the ground in front. Falling flat on his face! At that moment, Li Xide also found a clean chair in the room, wiped and wiped it, then placed it behind Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu sat in the chair, looking down at Wei Chen in front of him: "Tell me, who gave you the courage to play the deadbeat with me?" "F**k you..." Wei Chen hadnt even raised his head yet, and the curse had already come out! His internal rage had completely devoured his reason, being accustomed to being treated like a lord, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?! "Smack!" Zhang Meng went up and slapped him. "Splat!" Wei Chen directly spit out two broken teeth, his face covered in blood. Those debt collectors were all shocked silly! Who exactly is this person?! So domineering?! This king of deadbeats from the start until now actually has no room to resist! Even cursing gets him hit?! They couldnt help but cheer secretly in their heartsso damn satisfying! But as satisfying as it was, they were more worried. After all, anyone can slap someone, but how many would have the courage not to care about the money and also not fear retaliation?! They started to speculate in their hearts, just how much money Wei Chen owed this lord. To strike him so ruthlessly! Regarding the seven or eight thousand Lu Xiaobu previously mentioned? They didnt believe a word! Just for seven or eight thousand? Then what about the hundreds of thousands they were dealing with? Murder?! They guessed maybe he understated the amount by a "ten thousand"! Wei Chen was also scared by Zhang Mengs slap, although he still held anger and ruthlessness in his heart, he didnt dare to show it openly anymore. You bunch of losers wait and see, well settle the accountsjust you wait! "How much do I actually owe you?" Wei Chen dared not utter a single curse word, covering his swollen mouth to ask. "Its me asking you, answer me, who gave you the courage to play the deadbeat with me?" Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. "You!" Wei Chen bit down hard on his teeth. Feeling utterly humiliated. He didnt expect his initial strategy, the non-compromise through force strategy, to be completely shattered! So, he had to lift his head and take a look at Lu Xiaobus face. However, Lu Xiaobus face made him startled. Although he genuinely couldnt remember how many people he had borrowed money from, nor the amount from each. Yet, as he had racked his brain to borrow money, he at least had some impression of each person he borrowed money from. However, he had no recollection of Lu Xiaobus face at all. No, not that there was no recollection at all, it seemed there was a different impression. But regarding borrowing money... Absolutely none! Could it be that this person was called by someone else to deal with him?! However, he didnt recognize him, but someone did. "You are Lu Xiaobu?! No, no, Young Master Bu?!" Jiao Xinkais pupils dilated, his mouth agape, looking at Lu Xiaobu in disbelief. He recognized him, finally recognized him! This was the renowned Lu Xiaobu, Young Master Bu! Has Wei Chen gone mad? Daring to owe money to Lu Xiaobu? How many lives does he have to spare?! Hearing that he had been recognized, Lu Xiaobu showed no reaction. Recognized or not, what did it matter? His identity had nothing to do with him coming to collect debts. It also had nothing to do with the fact that he had asked Wei Chen twice, and Wei Chen still daring not to answer his question! Chapter 300 - 299: Exposed Corpse for Three Days [1st Update, Subscription Requested] Chapter 300: Chapter 299: Exposed Corpse for Three Days [1st Update, Subscription Requested]As Jiao Xinkai recognized Lu Xiaobu, the other people also reacted one after another. One by one, incredibly, disbelievingly gazing at Lu Xiaobu. "Lu Xiaobu? How did he come?" "Does Wei Chen also owe Lu Xiaobu money? Damn! Has this kid gone crazy?" "No, I think I remember, Wei Chen indeed owes Lu Xiaobu money. Once when he was drunk and boasting, he said that even Lu Xiaobu doesnt dare to ask him for money, saying to hell with it!" "This... Wei Chen has really gone mad!" "Now that Lu Xiaobu is here, can we also get our money back?" "Yeah, yeah! Theres hope now!" "..." They recognized him, and of course, Wei Chen was no exception. He sized up Lu Xiaobu, his eyes revealing a look of suspicion. He finally remembered, they were right, this was indeed Lu Xiaobu. And he, indeed owed Lu Xiaobu money. Not much, just a Shadow Form he had on credit. With principal, interest, and a penalty fee, it didnt even reach ten thousand. He understood this, but his mind got even more confused! Just for this little money?! Then came over to beat him up?! How much would the medical bills be!? Thats crazy! "Youre Lu Xiaobu? Okay, Ill answer your question, its the courage I gave myself! Others fear you, but I dont." Wei Chen suddenly became defiant, clenched his teeth, and coldly said: "I know your men are strong, but if you dare, just kill me! Ill just keep evading my debt!" He thought it through. After all, he only owed Lu Xiaobu a Shadow Form, at most hed take a beating! Lu Xiaobu definitely wouldnt spend more money than the Shadow Form for the sake of getting back what he was owed, that would be too costly! After all, this precedent could not be set, absolutely no repayment. Otherwise, he didnt know how many peoples money he would have to repay. So, he had to endure and resist! This is the desperate, fearless reversal method, others are desperate, he is fearless, and he is also fearless in desperation! "Good, you can say such words right in front of me, that actually makes you quite a character." Lu Xiaobu laughed, stretched out his hand and patted, showing a certain degree of appreciation! "You know whats right, just a few thousand, why bother fussing over such! You make more from making a few moves than I do, is it necessary? The richer people are, the stingier they get! You have so much money, why not be generous with us?" Wei Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a ferocious expression: "Im not afraid to tell you, Ive been beaten plenty, unless you kill me today, you wont get a dime." Theres a certain level to shamelessness that genuinely makes people sick. They can spend others money carefree and even lecture you by grand principles! As if being poor is justice, and they have a reason to steal, to rob, to owe money without repayment! Just because you are richer than them! The people around were stunned. Damn, it really was just about a few thousand! Are these two guys insane? A big boss who can make a few thousand in a bend of waist traveled all the way here for just a few thousand, to collect money. And the other, for the sake of a few thousand, is willing to fight to the death with a big boss! When did a few thousand become so valuable?! But, a shadow also loomed over their hearts. Even Lu Xiaobu couldnt get his money back, and it was just a few thousand, they couldnt collect their hundreds of thousands either! And this desperate emotion was exactly what Wei Chen needed! But, does Lu Xiaobu usually spoil others? "I have no interest in killing you, but shedding some light on you, that interests me a lot." Lu Xiaobus mouth hooked in a cold smile. "Expose me? Expose me? Hahaha!" Wei Chen suddenly laughed wildly: "Lu Xiaobu, I know you have connections everywhere, but are you really going to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions for just a few thousand? You must be out of your mind!" This is his third strategy, cost-benefit balance. As long as the other party realizes that confronting him would only waste time and effort, completely unreasonable, no one would choose that path. However, to be honest, as a professional debtor, what he fears the most is being exposed. Because once hes exposed, his borrowing channels are cut off, essentially severing his financial source! However, his so-called cost-benefit balance is just a technique for the ordinary folks. Now, who is he facing!? Prodigal sonLu Xiaobu! Spending money? Being reckless? He loves it the most! "Li Xide, call Liang Lan." Lu Xiaobu said. "Yes, Young Master." Li Xide immediately dialed Liang Lans phone and respectfully placed it next to Lu Xiaobu. "Sister Lan, expose a deadbeat named Wei Chen, for starters, throw in a billion, just put it in our Brain Black Gold advertisement, adding this deadbeats info will do. Expose his corpse for three days!" Lu Xiaobu casually gave the order. "Yes, Young Master, Ill get right on it!" Liang Lans voice came through. In an instant! The entire hall fell into a deadly silence! Gulp! They swallowed harshly! Were they deaf? Or did they hear wrong?! A billion?! One billion?! This Lu Xiaobu actually wants to spend a billion to expose this Wei Chen?! Has he gone mad? Just for a few thousand yuan, spending a billion?! That billion could buy Wei Chens head several times over!? Is it worth such an elaborate fuss?! Suddenly, a word flashed in their mindsprodigal son! Yes, prodigal son! They all went dumbfounded, one could imagine what Wei Chens expression was like?! Now his whole body was soaked in sweat, uncontrollably starting to tremble?! Expose?! Spending a billion to expose him?! Just for a few thousand yuan?! Honestly, his instinct was disbelief. But, when he thought about the person opposite him being Lu Xiaobu, he couldnt help but believe! However, the images of his exposure kept involuntarily flashing in his mind. Once widely exposed, what would happen?! It meant he would be denounced by everyone, no one daring to lend him money, and even if he wanted to reform and work, its uncertain anyone would hire him! Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. That is to say, he would be completely isolated by society! And that kind of life would be more painful than being in prison! But still, as much as he thought, he couldnt show weakness, what if the other party was just bluffing: "What nonsense are you spouting! I dont believe you would really spend a billion to expose me! No, I dont believe it!" "Really?" Lu Xiaobus lips slightly curled up. And at this time! "Hiss! Truly exposed!" Jiao Xinkai gasped in disbelief, staring at his phone: "Every Brain Black Gold advertisement has Wei Chens information on it!?" "What!" All the debt collectors were stunned! Every Brain Black Gold advertisement?! They were, of course, familiar with the Brain Black Gold advertisements, they were nearly bombarded by them by now! Now that Wei Chens information appeared on the Brain Black Gold ads, what did this represent?! This not only meant that what Lu Xiaobu said about spending a billion was true! It also meant Wei Chen would be well-known to every household along with the infamous advertisementBrain Black Gold! He was about to be isolated and despised by society! Wei Chen frantically found his phone, started searching for Brain Black Gold advertisements, slowly his face turned deathly pale, becoming ashen! "Did you really think I was joking?" Lu Xiaobu glanced at Wei Chen indifferently. Chapter 301 - 300 Chapter 301: Chapter 300 "Sorry" Is of No Use [2nd Update, Subscription Requested]Right now, online. "Eh, have you guys seen the idiotic ads today?" "Damn, do we even need to see them every day? Now, whenever I think of the three words Brain Black Gold, my mind automatically goes pitch black!" "Hahaha, same here, I was sleep talking last night and said Brain Black Gold. My wife kicked me under the bed! Haha!" Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Jealous of you married folks. But no, thats not what Im talking about. Theres something new in todays ad." "What is it?!" "You guys check it out for yourselves!" A moment later. "Hiss! Wei Chen? A deadbeat?! Not paying back his debts, defaulting on installments? External debts over ten million?!" "Holy crap! To owe so much money is truly a fucking talent!" "No, wait, Wei Chen! Damn it! I just lent this Wei Chen money? Five hundred thousand!" "Man, brother, then you better hurry and get your money! First try to freeze the account that you transferred the money from!" "Right, right, right, Im on it now. If it werent for Young Master Bu exposing this, my five hundred thousand wouldve gone down the drain!" "A scoundrel like that deserves a beating! Lets all spread the word, never lend money to this guy, best not even talk to him!" "Young Master Bu really did well, thats how you deal with a deadbeat. Last time it happened to me, it was infuriating! In the end, nothing came of it!" "..." The reaction online was intense. The reaction of the villagers from the same place as Wei Chen was even more intense. "Holy shit! What did I find? Wei Chens in an ad?!" "For real? Did he go endorse something?!" "Endorse my ass! The ad says Wei Chen is a deadbeat, owing tens of millions in debt!" "Damn! Tens of millions? Can even borrow that much money?!" "This is from an ad by Lu Xiaobu, could it be fake?!" "Then its definitely true!" "No way, we cant deal with this Wei Chen anymore. What if we get scammed?!" "Yeah, lets notify the village committee and make everyone aware, especially those who have been lent money by Wei Chen, they need to be extra careful!" "..." And soon, the villagers at Wei Chens house heard the village loudspeaker broadcast. "Urgent notice, urgent notice, it has been exposed on TV and online that Wei Chen is a deadbeat. This was published by Lu Xiaobu, its 100 percent true. So, all villagers be aware, do not lend Wei Chen any money, its best not to even speak to him, keep a close watch on your kids!" Hearing this broadcast! Everyone went crazy! How long has it been? How long?! The news has already reached this not-so-well-informed village!? Then isnt the internet going even more wild? This Wei Chen is really done for now! Looking back at Wei Chen. Fear, disbelief, bewilderment, and so on and so forth, emotions swept over him instantly. He was completely panicked. He had once owed five million and got his legs broken. He had once owed two million and was locked in a water dungeon. He had survived all that! But against someone like Lu Xiaobu, who would spend a hundred million just to expose him over a few thousand yuan, he suddenly found he had no way out! His so-called three strategies were defeated one by one. Uncompromising power? Lu Xiaobus powerful force and unreasonable attacks forced him to compromise! Fearless determination? This time it wasnt others who were desperate, it was him, yet it didnt even make a splash! Balancing income and expenditures?! People, Lu Xiaobu doesnt care about balance at all, he doesnt care about money, hell just use money to crush you to death! No chance to fight back! Crushing! Utterly crushed! What could he do? He found that, other than begging for mercy, he actually had no other way out! "Th-that, Young Master Bu, I was wrong, wrong, please just let me off!" Wei Chen was scared, truly scared! Only now did he realize how insignificant he was when facing those true bigwigs! How easily he could be crushed to death. "Wrong? You want me to let you off?" Lu Xiaobus mouth curled into a smirk. "Yes, yes, I was wrong, Ill pay back the money right now, with more, five times more, no, ten times more!" Wei Chen was shivering as he spoke. While saying this, he was also fumbling for his wallet! "So you say youre wrong and you think that exempts you from everything, isnt that a bit too naive? Human, when you do something wrong, you definitely have to pay the price!" Lu Xiaobus smile gradually became colder: "An apology or saying I was wrong is of no damn use." Such is life as well, if youve done wrong, you should be prepared to face the consequences. Rather than trying to luck out by mumbling an apology in hopes to bluff your way through. If I forgive you, its because of my kindness and compassion, not because I have to! Dont use anothers kindness as your capital to act arrogantly! When he owed money, even someone elses lifesaving money, and still brazenly refused to repay it, why didnt he think of showing some kindness?! Listening to Lu Xiaobus nearly cruel words, Wei Chens heart shuddered violently. Fury rises from the heart, and wickedness grows at the edge of daring! He stood up and roared: "Dont get too cocky, I will sue you for violating my right to reputation!" "Sure." Lu Xiaobu laughed, cheered: "Ill wait for your lawsuit, take your time, do you want me to hire a lawyer for you?!" "Fine, Ill sue you right now!" Wei Chen roared: "That is my right, my right to reputation; youve violated my rights, youll pay the price!" As he yelled, he dialed his lawyers number, shouting angrily at the lawyer: "I want to sue someone for invading my privacy and reputation rights!" The lawyer patiently listened to the whole process. Then, the lawyer calmly said: "Sorry, I will not take your case! And you wont win it." "How dare you? This is my rightful claim! Why cant I win?!" Wei Chen continued to bellow. "Rightful claim? Id advise you to first understand what rights are, a person who only thinks about gaining rights without fulfilling obligations does not deserve those rights! Our country has long issued laws about deadbeats; you should first get your facts straight before talking about rights." The lawyer straightforwardly threw cold water on Wei Chen: "Also, Ill be compiling documentation to sue you regarding several past cases of borrowing money, taking loans and not repaying. Please get ready!" Hearing the lawyers words, Wei Chen was completely dumbfounded! He collapsed utterly! Never had he imagined that he would be so isolated! Now, he could be said to be utterly friendless! And all of this, just because he arrogantly tried to mess with Lu Xiaobu! Just because he owed for a Shadow, a mere few thousand yuan! Lu Xiaobu, hes really too terrifying! Hes doomed! Lu Xiaobu looked at Wei Chen, who was pale and slumped on the ground and sneered. Still the same saying. Whatever I give you, even if its a billion, just gratefully accept it! Whatever you owe me, even if its just 50 cents, you better pay it back! This isnt about the amount of money or the quality of the relationship. This is a matter of principle. And at this time, Lu Xiaobu noticed a photo on the ground. It must have fallen out when Wei Chen was taking out his wallet. Instantly, his eyes narrowed. Chapter 302 - 301: Amulet against Deadbeats [Third Update, 27,000 Recommendation Tickets] Chapter 302: Chapter 301: Amulet against Deadbeats [Third Update, 27,000 Recommendation Tickets]Lu Xiaobu picked up the photo from the ground. The photo showed a woman. He had never seen this woman before, but he had just seen a photo of her today. The Bichi from his second brothers box! "Who is she?" Lu Xiaobu pinched the photo and looked at Wei Chen. "She..." Wei Chen didnt speak. But suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashed in his lifeless eyes! Is Lu Xiaobu interested in her? Could he use this opportunity? To turn the tables?! No no no, not to turn the tables, as long as he could get some money, it would be a win. "Forget it, I cant be bothered to ask you." Lu Xiaobu saw the change in Wei Chens expression and sneered. At this point, he still had the audacity to have crooked thoughts. He handed the photo to Zhang Meng: "Go, find out who she is, where she is?" "Yes!" Zhang Meng took the order. If he was asked to find a person in the vast seas of the Heavenly Dynasty out of nowhere, he certainly wouldnt be able to. But now it was different. With this photo from Wei Chen, it indicated that this woman had a special relationship with Wei Chen. Therefore, by following the leads from Wei Chen, he believed he could find her soon. Wei Chen, hearing their conversation, fell silent again, reverting to his half-dead state. But in reality, he still harbored a sliver of hope. He thought that if Lu Xiaobu couldnt find the woman, or if finding her required doing something, could he then have a chance for a comeback? However! Reality gave him a brutal slap. Just half an hour later. "Young Master, found her. This woman owns a house in the city; shes Wei Chens mistress." Zhang Meng reported to Lu Xiaobu over the phone. "En? Mistress?" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows and sneered coldly. Bichi indeed was Bichi, even now she existed as a mistress. He really wanted to askwhere is the wealthy man you clung to initially? Why didnt he marry you? To think she became a mistress to someone like Wei Chen, unbelievable! "Right, Young Master, according to what Ive found out, this woman isnt just Wei Chens mistress; shes at least five mens mistress. Theres even a man in her room right now." Zhang Meng continued. "Wow, shes like a public bus," Lu Xiaobus sneer grew more apparent. Luckily, nothing serious happened with his second brother, otherwise, haha! Upon hearing this, others were indifferent, but Wei Chens face on the ground turned green instantly. He felt his whole head was turning green. He was scum, but he was still a man! He couldnt stand being cuckolded! "F*ck, this bitch, Im going to kill her!" Wei Chen exploded in rage. Being cuckolded is an insufferable pain for a man. Lu Xiaobu didnt even glance at Wei Chen: "Write down her address, her information, shes definitely involved in money laundering, prosecute her and send her in." This kind of persons handling, theres no need to inform the second brother. Just deal with it directly. "Yes, yes, shes involved in money laundering, I have evidence!" Wei Chen suddenly grinned fiercely. He would drag this bitch to hell even if it meant his death! A cuckolded mans vengeance is indeed very strong! ... Being publicly announced and with no place to hide, Wei Chen obediently accepted the prosecution. And admitted all charges, complying with the trial! Of course, that includes that bitch! The king of deadbeats in the world of deadbeats was completely taken down by Lu Xiaobu and pinned down hard! This also led other deadbeats, one by one, to be silent as cicadas in winter, scared out of their wits, and quickly and obediently repaid the money owed in installments. They had truly witnessed the methods of Lu Xiaobu. Without saying a word, its a billion, leave the corpse exposed for three days, keep pounding until you die. Who wouldnt be scared?! This scene even led to a comprehensive increase in the Lu Familys business orders. Those kinds of money-losing, even money-giving orders. It doesnt matter if it makes money or not, what matters is the reputation of cooperating with the Lu Family. After all, who wouldnt encounter a few deadbeats?! In the past, there was no way to deal with them. Now? Haha, they just throw the contract of cooperation with Lu Family right there! This is a debt collection method thats even more effective than knives and sticks. Guaranteed to work every time! Listening to Lu Xiaobus name, every deadbeat is scared out of their wits, freaking out. This also led to the Lu Familys business climbing another step. That billion previously spent was earned back in less than three days. It silently surprised people, this freaking can make money, its really outrageous! ... "Big Bro, revenge is served, how satisfying it is?" Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu, sitting on the sofa, looked at Lu Wenhuo with a cheeky grin and asked. "Satisfying? Am I that kind of shameless person?" Lu Wenhuo said with all seriousness. But the smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed him. Although he had mixed feelings when he first heard the news, He couldnt deny that there was indeed a sense of exhilarating vengeance in his heart. Dont judge others. When you encounter such things, wouldnt you be happy? To those acting sanctimoniously, please explode right where you are, thank you! ... As time went by, students started their holidays, and the atmosphere of the New Year grew stronger. On the streets and alleys, kids could be seen playing everywhere. Apart from Liang Lan, Wu Qianmin, Zhou Jingyuan, and Su Luoxue also came back home. The villa was quite lively for a while. Especially Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan, these two misses, probably had a brain cramp, suddenly took up learning to cook. And it was the competitive type of cooking. Thus, the villa became even more lively! Every day, various explosion sounds could be heard, coupled with strange smells. "Hahaha, Hot Pepper, you lost again! Your chicken legs could be used as grenades." Wu Qianmin, the vinegar jar, would definitely not miss an opportunity to strike at her opponent! "And youre talking about me? Look at your cucumber? I have to respect you; you are absolutely the only person who can make cucumbers hard as rocks from ancient times to the present, what do you even intend to do with those cucumbers?" Hot Pepper still had such sharp words! "Youre the one using it." Wu Qianmin instantly turned red. Compared to such topics, how could she match Hot Pepper? "Oh? Are you sure you dont want to use it? Look, its black, big, and thick!" Hot Pepper pointed to what couldnt be identified whether it was fried cucumber or roasted cucumber right in front of Wu Qianmin and scorned without holding back. "You! Im not talking to you anymore!" Wu Qianmin retreated from the arena: "Im going to have Xiaobu taste mine; hell definitely say mine is delicious." "Hehe, mine will definitely be tastier." Hot Pepper, not to be outdone, carried her grenade-like chicken legs and walked out: "At least mine is still meat! Unlike some people who can use theirs but not eat!" Both of them carried their dishes to Lu Xiaobu, seeking his taste test. "Carry it away, go stay where its cool!" Lu Xiaobu immediately pointed towards the door, rebuking. Both women walked away aggrievedly, carrying their grenade and Jingu Bang! What? You think he would pamper these two like those in the novels, then painfully eat them, causing himself a stomachache? What the freakin joke! Whoever wants to eat, let them eat! Didnt you see even dumbass wouldnt eat? Eating those would definitely be deadly! Chapter 303: Moving Lips Above [1st Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Moving Lips Above [1st Update, Please Subscribe]Lu Xiaobu spent several more days living a life of idleness and freeloading. "Young Master, our year-end party is coming up soon. Are you going to make an appearance?" Liang Lan asked for Lu Xiaobus opinion. Actually, it didnt make much of a difference whether the Young Master showed up or not, but she felt like hed been a bit bored these past days, so she thought to find something fun for the Young Master to do. "Sure, sounds like fun!" Lu Xiaobus eyes lit up instantly: "Sister Lan really gets me. Come on, reward timeyou can give me an oil massage!" "Young Master!" Liang Lan couldnt help but pout in exasperation. It was always like this. ... After confirming that Lu Xiaobu would show up, Liang Lan immediately issued the notice. The planning of such frivolous year-end parties didnt require her personal touch in designing and executing; she could just let her subordinates handle it. Anyway, its not like planning made any real difference. What? Youre asking why she said planning was pointless? Come on, let me remind you, Young Master Bu. Have you caught on yet?! Not yet? Let me put it more bluntly. Even if your plans are incredibly elaborate and superb, once Young Master Bu takes his seat, do your plans still matter?! Theyll be torn to shreds, completely destroyed. So, all thats needed is to get a big venue and a warm atmosphere, as long as the Young Master can have fun and enjoy himself. However. To the companys high-level executives, she said it was fine to just wing it. And the high-level executives told the mid-level ones to be cautious. The mid-level executives told the lower-level ones - under the premise of ensuring safety, that it was important to balance caution with entertainment. By the time it got to the lower-level managers and the planners... It turned into a document spanning 28 A4 pages, filled with detailed requirements for the party. To summarize, it had to be unifying yet intense, serious yet lively, maintain the discipline of the year-end party yet ensure everyone had a good time. So, the chief planner of the year-end partyHuo Yichen, went insane! What the hell is this?! Can you stop making decisions without considering the consequences? But, complaints aside, the work still needed to be done. He also knew it wasnt the leaders fault; the moment he himself heard that Young Master Bu was going to show up, he was just as anxious, terrified something might go wrong. After all, that was Young Master Bu, the big boss of them all. If Young Master Bu wasnt happy, could any of them be happy? Due to the time constraints. They pulled countless talents from various companies, bringing them together to work day and night planning this year-end party. Finally, they came up with a plan that satisfied everyone. The plan was set, and then the execution began. Huo Yichen had previously planned and organized year-end parties at other companies, and thats precisely why he took up the heavy responsibility of head planner this time. So, he knew that while devising a plan was tough, execution was where the real difficulty lay. Because there are always various surprises that wont let things go as smoothly as youd wish. He figured that if they could accomplish two-thirds of their plan, that would be pretty good. However... He realized that he was wrong. From the moment he played his trump card, everything went incredibly smoothly. Just by mentioning Young Master Bus name... S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Instantly... The other partys attitude would do a complete 180-degree turn! ... Finding the venue. What? The venues already been rented out to someone else? They wanted to host a year-end party too? But this is for Young Master Bu. Oh, they no longer want it? For real? Alright then, well take it! There, the venue secured. ... Looking for performers. What? Youre fully booked for the holidays and have no time? This is Young Master Bus annual meeting, and Young Master Bu will personally be present. Oh, are you available now? And you need to come to rehearse right away? Im sorry, but several top stars just called me, saying they want to come over. As for you, Ill have to think about it. Dont cry, dont cry, what are you crying for, Im telling you to come! Look for guests. Wait a minute, wait a minute! Big shots, I havent even called you yet, why are you calling me? Cant you chill for a moment?! Do you big shots have no shame? Begging me, a low-level employee?! I know you all want to come, but there are only so many slots available! We have to make selections! Go away, go away, red envelopes definitely wont do! Our company doesnt roll like that, if young master Bu finds out, Im going to have a terrible end! Ill consider it seriously, alright! Hmm, guests have become the biggest problem, not because we cant invite them, but we dont know who to choose. After all, they are all big shots! Not only Huo Yichen, the chief planner, is busy, but all the companies under Xiaobu are bustling with activity. They have to prepare the best program that represents their company image, to showcase to Young Master Bu at the annual meeting. And with so many talented people under Young Master Bu, if their company embarrasses itself in front of others, it would truly be embarrassing. Therefore, the performance at the annual meeting has even become the biggest task for each company, next to their performance. Every day, leaders are hanging around at the rehearsal venue! But as stressed as they are, they dare not recklessly offer suggestions. After all, everyone knows Young Master Bu absolutely detests anything formulaic; you cant hoodwink him like you could with other leaders. Otherwise, once Young Master Bu throws a tantrum, no one can handle it! The leaders are extremely anxious, and the employees dare not take it easy! Everyone is working harder on their tasks, hoping to achieve some more results in this last stretch of time. Although everyone can go, the seating arrangements differ! Those with good performance will surely be able to sit at the front, having close contact with Young Master Bu. That is Young Master Bu, of course they are nervous! All companies are boiling with enthusiasm, all leaders are tense, all employees are going crazy. And the reason for all thisbecause Lu Xiaobu said, "Sure, sounds fun!" As the saying goes, a leaders casual command means employees run their legs off. And for Lu Xiaobu, when he utters a word, everyone goes insane. This is Lu Xiaobu! So what is Lu Xiaobu doing at this moment? Well, hes walking the dog! "Dumbass, come on, catch the Frisbee." Lu Xiaobu said to the dumbass in the park. "Psht!" Dumbass lets out a sarcastic sound and lies there lazily unmoved. Like its just a normal dog. "Idiot, look at that one." Lu Xiaobu points to a Great Dane, which leaps a good three meters high off its owners back and catches a disc. "Psht!" Dumbass makes another sarcastic sound and then stands up. Ten minutes later. Dumbass, like riding a horse, is mounted on the Great Dane, stepping on the Great Dane owners body, leaps three meters high, catches the disc, and hands it to Lu Xiaobu. "Not bad." Lu Xiaobu nods with satisfaction. Catching the disc is all that matters, the method is not important! And the Great Danes owner is dumbfounded! Who am I, where am I, what am I doing? Your dog rides my dog to catch a Frisbee, what the hell is that?! Mine is a Great Dane, not a horse! And? Why step on me?! Chapter 304 - 303: The Crown Prince Switches with a Civet Cat [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 304: Chapter 303: The Crown Prince Switches with a Civet Cat [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]As time passed, all companies had vacated their premises except for the essential personnel. And the organization of the annual event was getting more and more impressive. Huo Yichen also took a deep breath. Tomorrow would be the actual annual event, and it seemed they had not let everyone down after all. "Come on, come on, there were some minor details that werent quite right just now, let me talk to you about them, and then well go through the rehearsal again." Huo Yichen said to the crowd, holding the microphone. This kind of annual event required prior rehearsals. It had to be perfect. This was already the fifth rehearsal! Hearing Huo Yichens words, though everyone was tired, they started to get ready one after another. The rehearsal had to start from the moment Young Master Bu made his entrance. Since they dared not, and could not possibly, ask Young Master Bu to come for rehearsals, they found a stand-in with a similar build to Young Master Bu, covered by a hat, a mask, and sunglasses, pretending to be Young Master Bu. This way, they could simulate the scenario of the actual event as closely as possible. The whole purpose was to mimic tomorrows scene and to prepare for any contingencies. After all, Young Master Bus playfulness was legendary! ... However, what they didnt know was... At this moment, Lu Xiaobu had already arrived near the venue of the annual event. His RV led the way. Behind the RV was a massive cash truck. Inside the truck, armed police were loaded for bear. This was a withdrawal of a whopping one billion in cash, personally requested by Lu Xiaobu himself. How much one billion in cash is might be beyond most peoples comprehension. So, let me put it into a number for you! This pile of cash... Was 1.55 meters long, 0.77 meters wide, 1 meter tall, and weighed 1.15 tons! If you placed this pile of cash in front of anyone, I believe, nearly no one could resist its temptation, and rationality would be instantly consumed by greed. Thats why Lu Xiaobu had come in person. Because without his presence, the cash withdrawal would not have been approved, nor would it have been allowed to be transported here. Arriving at the entrance to the venue. Li Jin stayed behind to assist the police in guarding the cash truck. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu stealthily made his way into the venue with Zhang Meng. What? Walk in through the front door in full view? How boring that would be. At the entrance, he encountered his stand-in. The one wearing glasses and a mask, pretending to be him. Instantly, the corners of Lu Xiaobus mouth curled up into a mischievous smile, an idea forming in his mind. He was going to pull a Crown Prince masquerades as a civet cat trick! Hehehe! He grabbed the stand-in: "Give me your glasses and mask." "Huh? You... Young Master Bu?!" The stand-in was first taken aback, then startled! Wasnt the annual event supposed to start tomorrow? Why had Young Master Bu come now? But despite the confusion, he obediently took off the glasses and mask and handed them over to Lu Xiaobu. "Alright, heres a reward, five thousand. Go take a break on the side, and remember, dont show up until I say so, alright?" Lu Xiaobu nodded as he instructed the stand-in. "Of course, Young Master Bu." The stand-in didnt know what Lu Xiaobu was planning, but he obediently did what he was told. And so, he took the money and obediently stayed aside. Lu Xiaobu put on his mask and glasses, standing by the entrance. At this moment, Huo Yichen was holding a microphone and berating, "Whats the matter? Whats the matter? Why is it getting worse? How many times have I explained the details to you, and you still cant remember?" After scolding the people present, Huo Yichen turned his gaze to Lu Xiaobu: "And you, the stand-in, I know youre just a stand-in, unable to mimic Young Master Bus temperament, but can you at least try to look the part? If you cant even do that, how can the others put themselves in the right mindset?" Lu Xiaobu quickly nodded, indicating he heard. "Alright, everyone take a break, reflect on it, and lets try again in two minutes. Strive to get it right in one go. If we do, we can all relax!" Huo Yichen clapped his hands, drawing everyones attention down. Two minutes later, everyone was almost back to normal. "Start. Stand-in, enter the scene, remember the presence needs to come through." Huo Yichen issued the command to start. Lu Xiaobu nodded and began to walk in from the entrance. He didnt know what kind of presence or aura he possessed; just playing himself should suffice. After all, one couldnt possibly mess up playing oneself. And the very instant he made his entrance, Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Huo Yichen immediately stood up, his eyes lighting up instantly. Not bad at all! This stand-in actually managed to capture the feel of Young Master Bu! That lazy and carefree demeanor, yet carrying an imperious quality as if, amid the thousands and millions, he would unflinchingly go his own way. For a moment, Huo Yichen even felt as if Young Master Bu himself had truly arrived! It wasnt easy, truly not easy at all! Lu Xiaobu was unaware of Huo Yichens thoughts, finding the sensation of imitating himself to be quite interesting. It was just like those variety shows he had done in the past, where there was always something cheeky about imitating oneself. Especially hilarious was when ones self-imitation couldnt even match someone elses, causing uncontrollable laughter! By this time, he had already covered a distance of about three meters. He had crossed the entrance and was walking into the audience area. The seating here wasnt like movie theater seats but consisted of individual large round tables. On the round tables, there were tobacco, alcohol, and drinks laid out. During the mid-point of the annual meeting, it would become a dine-and-meet setting rather than having everyone dryly watching. Lu Xiaobu was quite satisfied with this arrangement. "Welcome Young Master Bu, Young Master Bu, may your legacy reign for thousands and tens of thousands of generations, supreme over Jianghu!" As soon as Lu Xiaobu stepped into the audience section, the employees on both sides of him, centered around him, all stood up neatly from their chairs, turned towards Lu Xiaobu, bowed deeply, and shouted in unison! Their voices were so powerful and the momentum so intense that ones adrenaline couldnt help surging! On stage, Huo Yichen, seeing that the official rehearsal had begun, kept his eyes fixated on Lu Xiaobu. This stand-in had often caused problems here before. Easily startled into stupefaction, sometimes even forgetting what to do next. After all, the overwhelming authority of tens of thousands of eyes fixated on one person, shouting in unison, would be unbearable for anyone who wasnt an accustomed high-ranking individual used to giving orders. Forget about a stand-in; even he himself might not perform as well in that situation. But this time, to his surprise, the stand-in showed no reaction! My God! It was simply fantastic! He suddenly thought to himself and called over his assistant: "Go, switch all the rehearsal props for real ones. Since the stand-in has found the feeling, lets take this opportunity to do the same." This was all for Young Master Bu; money was no object! What mattered was the effect! "Yes!" The assistant went to make arrangements. Huo Yichen was thrilled, still focusing intently on Lu Xiaobu. Yes yes yes, just like that, keep it up. As long as you can maintain that, turning our rehearsal perfect, Ill give you a bonus privately after we finish! Everyone on the scene thought it was still a rehearsal, and the person was still a stand-in. They never imagined that the stand-in had long been replaced by the real deal! The truly audacious and essential Lu Xiaobu! Chapter 306 - 305: Eight Radishes [4th Update, 29,000 Recommendation Tickets] Chapter 306: Chapter 305: Eight Radishes [4th Update, 29,000 Recommendation Tickets]"Next, lets begin the second act." Lu Xiaobu continued. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Huo Yichen was stunned. Huh?! Another act? I was just your warm-up act before your speech, but whats going on now? Another act?! Shouldnt you be giving your speech?! He started giving Lu Xiaobu frantic eye signals, hoping to get back on track. However, his attempts were completely ignored by Lu Xiaobu! Meanwhile, the employees were excited to death! "This stand-in is really going all out!" "Hahaha, lets get hyped!" "Forget it, after it ends, Im going to send this stand-in a red packet!" "Yeah, yeah, me too!" "..." "Please, all company leaders, come to the stage." Lu Xiaobu said to the audience below. As soon as he said that, not only was Huo Yichen confused, but the other leaders were also continuously baffled. What the hell?! Why are we suddenly being asked onto the stage?! Has the stand-in lost his mind?! Their gazes involuntarily turned towards Huo Yichen, the chief planner. Seeing their questioning looks, and observing the hyped atmosphere, Huo Yichen thought for a moment, then bit the bullet and nodded. Alright, if its going off track, lets go off track! Perhaps this way, we can accidentally land on the right response for tomorrow. No matter how absurd today gets, we have to carry on. Better to be absurd today than have Young Master Bu spring a surprise tomorrow and leave us unprepared! Seeing Huo Yichen nod. The executives from various companies could only sigh and step onto the stage! These people were the CEOs of Jueying Company, Juechen Live Platform, Creation Chinese Website, Zhi Cheng IT, LOL Company, Cola Company, and Brain Black Gold Health Products Company. These seven individuals, apart from Lu Xiaobu and those directly under Liang Lan, Li Xide, and others, held the most power. They were the pillars of the company! Honestly though, Lu Xiaobu only really recognized two of them, Zhang Guan from the Creation Chinese Website and Tian Xuning from Zhi Cheng IT; he didnt know any of the rest. These seven bosses, called on stage without reason, though their expressions unchanged, felt somewhat disgruntled towards Lu Xiaobu. After all, in their eyes, the current Lu Xiaobu was just a stand-in, not the real Lu Xiaobu. If it were the real Lu Xiaobu, they wouldve come up without a second thought. So, the seven bosses exchanged looks and nodded slightly. Then, they all started to sternly set their faces, using their aura to pressure Lu Xiaobu! Instantly! The powerful combined aura of these seven bosses filled the entire venue. The previously noisy venue turned quiet in a second! Employees were scared silent. Especially the chief planner, Huo Yichen, who was so frightened his legs began to tremble. Its not his fault; although hes the chief planner, and the leaders respect him and listen to him, hes just an employee in reality. Now that the bosses had exerted their authority, all the employees below were scared, and he, being closest, was especially terrified. The seven bosses, seeing their reaction, all revealed a smirk of satisfaction. It wasnt that they were petty, but this was the normal reaction. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being ordered around by their subordinates! However! They were instantly proven wrong. Because. When their gazes turned to the stand-in they most wanted to intimidate. They found that the stand-in was not affected at all! Shock and disbelief appeared in their eyes! What!? How is this possible? The combined aura of the seven of them was no joke; how could a normal person withstand it?! Lu Xiaobu ignored their subtle actions. These people were his subordinates, and they were trying to pressure him, haha! "Alright, its time to start playing a game! Youve all played Duck Duck Goose, right?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and cheerfully turned to the bosses, saying, "Well, from left to right, they are red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet, oh, and one chief planner, the white radish. A total of eight radishes." Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the eight radishes... no, the seven bosses and one chief planner shivered with anger. Radish!? Are we bosses supposed to be your radishes?! And to play this radish squat game? Which company do you belong to, kid? You must not want to continue mixing in this circle! They will absolutely not play it! Definitely not! The atmosphere at the scene was awkward for a while. Huo Yichen also felt uncomfortable, not knowing what to do. At this moment, Liang Lans voice came through his headset: "Keep rehearsing, dont stop." Huo Yichen shuddered suddenly, Liang Lan was watching? So, he quickly conveyed Liang Lans request to the seven bosses. Upon hearing that Liang Lan was watching and insisted on continuing, There was no choice! Squat then! Damn it! So fragrant! The eight people stripped off their suits and stood up straight. "Start with the white radish." Lu Xiaobu moved a chair and sat on the stage, grinning at the scene. "Me!" Huo Yichen was so enraged he wanted to curse, youre doing this on purpose, arent you? Whom should I make squat? Making any boss squat would offend someone! But as distressed as he was, the game had to continue. With no other options, he chose a CEO with whom he had the least interactionZTC IT. "White radish squat, white radish squat, after white radish its green radish squat!" Huo Yichen squat twice and called out the alias of ZTC IT CEOTian Xuning. "Huh?" Tian Xunings face turned instantly green, just like his alias. What the heck, is ZTC IT easy to bully then?! Hey, kid! You just wait! "Pfft!" Zhang Guan from Creation Chinese Website couldnt help but laugh out. Dont blame him, blame it on the color, it really makes one burst into laughter. Green radish, whats this implying? Tian Xuning looked over. Hey, you yellow radish, you dare to laugh at me? As if your color is any better! Ive decided its you then! "Green radish squat, green radish squat, after green radish its yellow radish squat!" After saying that, Tian Xuning provocatively glanced at Zhang Guan. Was Zhang Guan going to put up with him? He struck back immediately. "After yellow radish squat, green radish squat!" Now thats more like it! These twos quarreling suddenly livened up the atmosphere. It started with them bickering, while the other bosses watched. Gradually, the other bosses also joined in. A free-for-all battle ensued! The most interesting yet most miserable person was Huo Yichen! This kid had the lowest status. Whenever the bosses got tired of fighting, they would dump it on him. This led to him squatting up to 8 consecutive rounds! Motherf*ck, thats eight rounds! Plus, he just did twenty frog jumps earlier, adding up to almost fifty squats! This caused his legs to tremble! The employees at the scene were all desperately holding back their laughter. When had they ever seen such a scene? Company bosses squabbling with each other!? This is like back in school, when the teachers... no, its like several schools disciplinarians organizing a fight! This annual meeting is truly damn interesting! Absolutely unprecedented! But is this the end? Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. No, this is just the beginning! Chapter 307 - 306: It’s Time to Take Off the Mask [5th Update, 30,000 Recommendation Votes Bonus - ] Chapter 307: Chapter 306: Its Time to Take Off the Mask [5th Update, 30,000 Recommendation Votes Bonus Chapter]Seven bosses and one chief planner got into a bit of a scuffle. Oh, sorry, I mean the seven bosses confronted the chief plannerHuo Yichen! The chief planner now has weak knees and doesnt dare to bend them. Because once he bends his knees, he cant help but kneel. The people at the scene couldnt hold back and burst into laughter. "Ha ha ha, thats too freaking funny!" "This is the first time Ive realized that the stand-in is this hilarious!" "Huo Yichen, you tried to mess with us, now youre going to suffer!" "Skin? You want to show skin?" "And to see the bosses fight it out, probably can only see it once in a lifetime, just like this." "Right? Its mysteriously joyful, isnt it?!" "So satisfying, never thought that one day wed get to be spectators and enjoy watching the bosses go at it." "Im loving it!" "..." "Alright, next up..." Lu Xiaobu continued to speak. "Wait, wait, hang on!" Huo Yichen couldnt take it anymore. The segment couldnt continue. He realized that todays stand-in was deliberately opposing him, and he had to get the event back on track. If not, even if he could endure it, his legs couldnt. "Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Nothing much, we just feel that only us having fun isnt enough, if were going to play, we should all play together." Huo Yichen decided to just go for it. Anyway, this person isnt Young Master Bu, just a stand-in. As long as its within the rules, whos afraid? Upon hearing this, the seven bosses eyes lit up instantly, nodding in agreement. "Right! We cant be the only ones playing!" "Youve got to play too!" "Weve all let loose, what else do you want to do?!" "You cant be an exception, right?" "..." The seven bosses nodded fervently, each with a glint of a big bad wolf in their eyes. Play us? Come join us! "Join in?" Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a smile: "Sure, what shall we play?" Lu Xiaobu wasnt scared at all, its just playing! Thats what he loved most! Its a year-end function, its meant to be merry and bright! Who needs any level systems? Want to be the boss, theres plenty of room. If all else fails, find a fast-food spot, two hundred bucks and you can be the boss too, no need to be here. "Alright, lets do this, well play a fair game." Huo Yichen said, "Well ask questions in turn, about Young Master Bu, in a buzz-in answer mode, the winner can ask the person who lost the most to do something, anything!" Hearing his game, the group of bosses nodded. "This game sounds good." "Not bad, it works." "Itd be best to add some in-depth questions that can entertain as well as educate!" Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes, I support this game!" "..." The bosses showed their support! After all, as employees, understanding your own boss is fundamental. So, they believed they wouldnt lose. The employees below also slowly became interested. "This game is not bad!" "Not bad!" "Its about how well we know Young Master Bu!" "Sounds fun, especially that unlimited punishment!" "Awesome!" "..." The bosses turned their gaze to Lu Xiaobu, challenging him: "What about you? Dare to play?" "Hey! Dare I not? Come on then!" Lu Xiaobu was amused. Was there anyone who knew him better than he knew himself? Well, he thought so! However! The first question, and he was stumped! "Please, what is Young Master Bus most commonly used self-reference?" Huo Yichen was the first to ask. Lu Xiaobu immediately raised his hand with a snap: "Its I." He was confident this answer was virtually foolproof. He thought he usually referred to himself as I, and that was perfectly fine. However! "Pfft!" Not just the seven bosses, even the audience laughed. "Ha ha ha, I? You really dont know Young Master Bu at all!" "Since when has Young Master Bu ever used I?" "What a joke?" "..." Lu Xiaobu looked completely confused: "Isnt it me?" "Wrong, completely wrong, Young Master Bus most commonly used self-reference is Young Master." The Coca-Cola CEO stepped forward and said. "You got it right!" Everyone nodded in agreement. "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu looked puzzled: "Is that so?" He didnt feel like he often called himself Young Master! "What? Still doubting? Just ask everyone!" Huo Yichen gave Lu Xiaobu a challenging look and then pointed to the audience. "Thats right!" Everyone laughed heartily: "Indeed, Young Master Bus most common self-reference is Young Master." "Alright then." Since everyone said so, Lu Xiaobu had no choice! But he really didnt feel like he often used the title Young Master. Do you think so? You dont, right! "Let me ask the second question, everyone still remembers Young Master Bus earthshaking bare-handed planning on Coca-Cola, right? Who can give a detailed analysis of that planning," said the Coca-Cola CEO. "Uh... planning?" Lu Xiaobu continued to be confused. He was just trying to mess things up and curse someone at that time! The planning afterwards was done by someone else! "Hahaha, you dont know again, do you!" This time, the CEO of Creation Chinese Website, Zhang Guan, came forward: "Back then, Young Master Bu was indeed brilliant, wonderfully creative, after analyzing the enemy and our strengths, he saw that glimmer of hope in adversity..." Zhang Guan, the CEO of a small novel website, really lives up to his title! Probably his novel-writing skills are also not bad! My my, how he flattered Lu Xiaobu! Praising in all sorts of ways! Things like no one before and no one after, and being unrivaled under the heavens and on earth! All kinds of beautiful phrases were being used one after another! Everyone was seriously flattered. But cough cough cough! Lu Xiaobu expressed that it was very pleasing to hear! Very pleasing! ... The third question is here! Brain Black Gold CEO: "Speaking of recent events, our advertising plan for Brain Black Gold, who can say what the value of that advertisement is?" Lu Xiaobu: "..." I have no damn clue! I just wanted to brain-wash! Who knows how much its worth?! Well, now its Huo Yichens turn to boast! Still lavish praises, Lu Xiaobu is invincible! Lu Xiaobu expressed, although this praise wasnt as fantastical as Zhang Guans, it was still very pleasing! ... The fourth question. Jueying Company CEO: "You are all no good, come on, who can recite the phenomenal speech made by Young Master Bu at the Jueying press conference?" Lu Xiaobu: "..." Recite?! What the hell?! You guys memorize it every day?! Are you insane?! I dont even remember! Well then, the CEO of ZT IT accurately recited everything without missing a word. Lu Xiaobu was secretly amazedso you really can memorize it! ... The fifth question. LOL Company CEO: "The classic moment of the initial LOL, everyone hasnt forgotten, right? That is..." ... The sixth question. Juechen Live CEO: "..." ... The seventh question. "..." Lu Xiaobu had completely given up on answering. Anyway, just listen to them praising himself. Couldnt answer a single question. He really didnt expect that one day he would be stumped by his own questions! But, he said, it feels great to be praised! Yes, really very satisfying! The employees below were also listening enraptured! This was their first time systematically finding out what a legendary figure their big boss was! After the questions were over, the main event started! Punishment! Who lost the most? Of course, it was Lu Xiaobu! Several bosses showed an evil smile, they were planning their revenge! Lu Xiaobu also showed an evil smileit was time to take off the mask! Chapter 308 - 307 Outplayed Everyone [1st Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 308: Chapter 307 Outplayed Everyone [1st Update, Please Subscribe]The seven bosses saw Lu Xiaobu finally lose, and their revenge flames were ignited one after another. At this moment, there was no concern about leadership hierarchy. If we are going to play, then we should play it well. The crowd started pondering how to deal with this arrogant kid. Then! They saw Lu Xiaobu take off his glasses. They nodded silently to themselves, knowing punishment was imminent, so off went anything superfluous first. A gentleman accepts defeat, this much was in keeping with the style of their group. Not bad. And then. Lu Xiaobu also took off his mask. Instantly! "Er..." The seven bosses were all dumbfounded. Staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of them, one was so shocked he couldnt even close his jaw. "This, this, this!" "You are..." "Is this real or fake?" "Huo Yichen, hurry up and explain." "Yeah, was the body double you found that much like Young Master Bu?" "..." Huo Yichen almost cried, what the hell am I supposed to explain! This is clearly Young Master Bu. Do I even need to explain? He had a moment of clarity. Thinking back to the way he walked earlier, with the imposing presence of a dragon and the power of a tiger, so carefree and confident. And then, when facing the seven bosses, why he was so composed, and even, dare it be said, arrogant! And why did this annual meeting go completely off the rails only after he took the microphone from someone! Theres only one reason for all of this. Its because he is Young Master Bu! The real Young Master Bu. At the same time, he felt like crying again. Young Master Bu, oh, Young Master Bu, we know you like to have a good time. But did you have to go this far! Youve played us all! Directly changed the date of the annual meeting. What? You say we can just have it again tomorrow if we had it today? Heh, heh, just look at my expression, hehehe! The seven bosses also revealed a helpless smile: "Greetings, Young Master Bu." Whats that, you say revenge? When did we ever say such a thing? Not everyone gets the chance to be played by Young Master Bu. That means Young Master Bu treats us as his own people. "Alright, everyone is good, you all recognize me, right?" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily, turning his head back to look at the equally stunned staff below. Well, naturally, any punishment just got skipped! Thats how shameless this is! Come on, hit me! The staff looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face. They all had twitching lips! "Is... is that Young Master Bu?" "Oh my goodness! Its actually Young Master Bu! No wonder hes such a good sport?!" "The annual meeting started just like that?!" "Huh? Is it really supposed to be like this?" "No way!" "Young Master Bu, youre really fun!" "..." They swore theres never been an annual meeting like this in history. It was supposed to be a rehearsal, and while rehearsing, it turned real. What a mess. Keep in mind they were all planning to dress up for tomorrows event. But then, without any clue, it began. You should know that some were even still wearing slippers! But, confusion aside, and facial twitching aside. But greeting is still necessary. "Greetings to Young Master Bu! Young Master Bu, may your reign last for thousands of generations and rule over Jianghu!" "Greetings to Young Master Bu! Young Master Bu, may your reign last for thousands of generations and rule over Jianghu!" "Greetings to Young Master Bu! Young Master Bu, may your reign last for thousands of generations and rule over Jianghu!" Once the first person said their greetings, everyone else quickly joined in, creating a tidal wave of voices! Huo Yichen looked on from the side with utter consternation. As the chief planner, he was full of bitterness. Listen to that momentum, look at that energy. Even better than what he had practiced! He was utterly convinced! Who says Young Master Bu needs any rehearsal for the New Years party! Just his mere presence gets everyone into the mood! He felt utterly superfluous! Yep, among everyone at the venue, he, the chief planner, was the most superfluous. How sad is that! And as Lu Xiaobu revealed his true self. Liang Lan and the others also started to enter. Instantly, an aura even mightier than those seven bosses swept through the venue. Yep, this gang had their spirits crushed. They came here looking to show whos boss! You CEOs are quite arrogant, huh? Flaunting your aura, right? Rebelled against heaven? The employees fell silent one after another. "Are these people from Young Master Bus circle?" "So terrifying!" "Is that Tian Jilan, Liang Lan? Ive seen her once at a meeting, truly an imposing big sister, so domineering!" "Look at that one, Fierce Tiger War GodZhang Meng, with Liang Lan, theyve supported Xiaobu in conquering this vast territory with their brains and brawn." Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "And theres Li Xide, the boss of our Shadow Power, looking sharp, right?" "Wow, three beauties over there too!" "Stop, dont let your eyes wander, do you have any sense of who those women are?" "My mistake, Im sorry!" "Whos that guy?" "Heard hes the lackey who dishes out the cash, named Li Jin." "..." Li Jins ears were incredibly sharp, and he heard this comment right away. Nearly spit out a mouthful of old blood. Is his presence really that insignificant? Others are called Tian Jilan, or Fierce Tiger War God, and even the least of them, Li Xide, is known as a boss. But hes just a lackey who gives out cash? While its true, isnt it a bit too harsh? Meanwhile, those seven bosses were shivering in fear! What kind of bosses were they anyway? In front of these few, they were merely newbies! This was bad news. Angering Young Master Bu was one thing; hes generous and wouldnt bother with them. But these few were different! Anything Young Master Bu didnt care about, they took it personally! They saw their lives in complete darkness! "Alright, Ill say a few words." Lu Xiaobu patted the microphone and smiled. In an instant, the whole venue fell silent, and all eyes were upon Lu Xiaobu. "Since today is the annual party, we should all have fun and let loose. Our company doesnt have too many rules, which the people from Zhicheng IT Company should be well aware of." Hearing this, the people from Zhicheng IT Company nodded in agreement. The flexible work policy set by Young Master Bu has been pushing them to be industry leaders to this day! "So, lets not be too restricted. Look at your bosses, they cant even handle it, so what are you guys afraid of? Ill say this: if anyone dares to give you a hard time over what happens at todays party, just tell me, and Ill make sure they regret it." Lu Xiaobu said with a smile. The employees were overjoyed! They had never doubted Young Master Bus words; since Young Master Bu said there would be no repercussions, there surely wont be any. "Young Master Bu is mighty!" "Young Master Bu is domineering!" "Following Young Master Bu is the honor of our lifetime!" "..." "Okay, okay, enough flattery, although I do enjoy it. Hahaha." Lu Xiaobu laughed: "Enough chit-chat, everyone worked hard this past year, and now, let the cash giveaway begin!" The main event had finally arrived. One billion in cash, guarded by heavily armed police officers, slowly made their way through the entrance. Everyones breathing quickened, eyes reddened, as they stared at the mountain of cash! Chapter 309 - 308: Easily Winning People’s Hearts [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Easily Winning Peoples Hearts [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]One billion! Thats a whole billion were talking about! That gleaming cash laid out there, it can truly drive people mad. Someone once said, a million might not be able to bribe someone, but a million in cash could certainly make one go crazy. If a million is like that, what about a hundred million times that! Not just them, even the seven bosses were salivating, panting with greed. Of course, strict discipline, along with the armed police officers, deeply suppressed such desires in them. They didnt want to win money only to not have the life to spend it. Besides, whose money is this? Its Young Master Bus money! This is the cash Young Master Bu is giving them; why should they be so eager at this moment? The cash is put on stage. Lu Xiaobu looks at the people turning green with envy and laughs, "What is this?" "Money!" The crowd shouts! This momentum is greater than any sound before. This is the primal desire of mankind, inevitable and not to be avoided! Lu Xiaobu: "Do you want it?" The crowd: "Yes!" "Then take it," Lu Xiaobu nods. "Huh!?" The crowd is befuddled! What does this mean? Take it just like that, without any rules? Is it supposed to be a grab-and-run? Young Master Bu, dont joke about this, we cant handle the scare. Even the police officers are startled, stiff as boards. Stop messing around, if it really comes to a scramble. They truly couldnt hold them back! "Alright, alright, just kidding." Lu Xiaobu chuckles. He laughs while everyone else heaves a sigh of relief. Scared them to death. "However, I can indeed let you experience what its like to sit on a pile of money." Lu Xiaobu says with a spark of inspiration. As he speaks, he walks over to the pile of cash and begins to arrange it with his hands. Quickly. A throne made entirely of hundred-yuan banknotes is assembled. Although this throne is ugly, it still radiates an overpowering presence! No help for it, its made out of money after all. You can imagine the majestic throne! The employees are all panting heavily. What does Young Master Bu mean? Allowing them to experience sitting on a pile of cash? Could it be letting them get close to this billion in cash? Indeed. "Alright, although Im not fond of hierarchical systems, I have to say, some people deserve rewards. Every company has its high performers, outstanding teams. So, come on up and have a seat." Lu Xiaobu says with a smile. If someone has achieved, they should be rewarded. Working without reward is the greatest taboo! Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, those high-performing employees eyes light up instantly! They believe that aside from this moment, theyll never have such an experience again in their lives. This is surely something they can brag about for a lifetime. Theyre already so excited that theyre going crazy. Yet, the other ordinary employees are filled with regret and distress. "Done for, it just slipped by!" "If only I had known, I wouldnt have slacked off, now look!" "I knew it, one cant slack off in Young Master Bus company, its over, I really missed out on a billion!" "..." Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the seven bosses immediately went to make arrangements. This was also a competition among them to see whose employees were the best and who had the most quality workers. The first person came up quickly. You probably didnt expect who it was. It was Juechen live broadcaster Qin Ce! He was also one of Lu Xiaobus subordinates and the best one in broadcasting. Moreover, he knew Lu Xiaobu. Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Plus, as a broadcaster used to the pressure of facing an audience, he could bear it better than the others. So, he had the honor of being the first to "eat the crab." But right now, Qin Ce was very nervous, extremely nervous! Although he did live broadcasts and had hundreds of thousands, or even millions of viewers daily, that kind of interaction through the internet and screen is way different from this live scene! Although there are only about a hundred thousand people here, the mixture of gazes filled with various emotions directed at him made him break out in a heat; sweat was dripping down! At this moment, he truly felt the gap between himself and Young Master Bu. Young Master Bu could face these gazes with ease and humor, even playing with the audience to the point of earning their applause. While all he could do was stand there with trembling legs, covered in sweat! Like heaven and earth apart! "Hello, Young Master Bu." Qin Ce hurriedly bowed with a trembling voice. "Youre still as chubby as ever, arent you?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Qin Ce, laughed out loud, walked over, and took hold of Qin Ce. As soon as Qin Ce touched Lu Xiaobus hand, he instantly calmed down. A warm strength passed from Young Master Bus hand, supporting his heart and backbone! Young Master Bu was personally pulling him up; he couldnt lose face in front of Young Master Bu. Not just him, but also the other employees, when they saw this scene, suddenly had warm smiles on their faces involuntarily. There are so many companies out there. Why did they stay only at Young Master Bus company? Was it because of the high salary? Cough cough, well, that was one of the reasons. However, Young Master Bus gentle approach to people was also a very important reason. For the first time, they truly understood the feeling of treating the company as family; it wasnt just an empty promise! In their hearts, they all secretly vowed that starting today, oh no, tomorrow, no, starting right now, they would work hard and strive so that next year they could also have the qualification to stand on this stage and face Young Master Bu! And maybe sit on that cash dragon chair! Liang Lan watched all this with an admiring look. Young Master Bu was just Young Master Bu. A casual gesture could win peoples hearts. Ever wondered why companies have annual functions? Its to win peoples hearts. Especially over the New Year period, when there is a high turnover rate but also a busy time. If the annual function is not done well, the work in the coming year will start off badly! This bad start could even last as long as half a year! Imagine the impact on the company! And Young Master Bu, without needing planning, without needing designing, solved it all with one action! And its more real, more heartwarming! Young Master Bu is the best, no rebuttal accepted! Qin Ce regained his composure, and Lu Xiaobu let him sit on the dragon chair. "How does it feel?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled with delight. "It feels awesome! Its just a bit sharp and uncomfortable. I think those people who sleep on money in videos online are nuts; this is enough to chafe you! Especially when you are moving around, you dare not exert too much force; otherwise, you might get cut somewhere!" Qin Ce, true to his nature as a broadcaster, immediately spouted joke after calming down. Everyone burst into laughter. "Pfft, hahaha!" "This funny guy! Cut what, exactly?" "So sassy! Really sassy!" "..." Lu Xiaobu was also grinning non-stop; this guy was really entertaining. Just sitting for a bit wasnt his goal; the big move was coming up next! Chapter 310 - 309: Hold a Bunch 【Third Update, 1000 Recommendation Tickets for More】 Chapter 310: Chapter 309: Hold a Bunch Third Update, 1000 Recommendation Tickets for MoreQin Ce stood up excitedly, although he was fascinated by the feeling of sitting on the throne, he knew that he couldnt occupy it for too long since others were waiting behind him. "Wait a minute, lets grab a handful of cash before leaving. Yes, only one chance, no redundant motions." Lu Xiaobu said to Qin Ce. "Huh? Grab a... grab a... grab a handful?" Qin Ce could hardly believe his ears. He looked at Young Master Bu, then at that one billion! Could Young Master Bu really mean to grab a handful of money?! Lu Xiaobu noticed his confusion and nodded affirmatively. "Shh!" Qin Ce gasped in surprise. Its really about taking the money! Just grab a handful right here on this dragon chair? Just grab a random handful?! Oh my, although I knew this cash was meant to be distributed to them, wasnt it too casual? The employees below were all incredibly envious. All breathing heavily! "My goodness! They can just take it as they please!" "Young Master Bu is so cool!" "Does that mean if I can carry it, I can take it all?" "But can you really carry it? I just checked, one billion in cash weighs 1.18 tons! 2360 pounds! Try carrying one for me to see." "I cant carry a billion, but five million should be manageable! If not, a million will do too!" "..." Qin Ce still couldnt believe it: "Really, just take whatever?" "Just take whatever." Lu Xiaobu reaffirmed his answer! "Alright then!" Qin Ce gritted his teeth, ready to grab the money. He was just an ordinary person; he was also craving the money before him. He wasnt that noble, to look at the money in front of him and not want it. Like the person below earlier, he also did some calculations, ten million is 150 kilograms, which equals 300 pounds, he cant carry that, but he could probably manage seven to eight million, at least five million. However... The reality proved otherwise. He was overthinking. The handful he could muster all his strength to carry was just over two million, not even reaching three million. And even so, he was somewhat unable to hold it! It wasnt a problem of weight. But... It was a stability problem. Now he had no tools, no pockets, no devices to keep things in place, only his hands to carry! This caused him to be full of confidence, yet utterly unable to meet his expectations. Nevertheless, the feeling of holding a handful of cash completely overwhelmed him. "Did I really just walk away with it?!" Qin Ce, staggering with the cash, still asked Lu Xiaobu. "Take it away." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand indifferently. An ecstatic Qin Ce walked off the stage carrying the cash. Below, the employees were swallowing their saliva, their eyes glowing green like wolves. They too wanted to grab a handful, really wanted to grab a handful! My god, this handful more than they make in a year. Even if they forfeited a years salary for this handful, it would all come back! You sitting there, do you want to grab a handful too!? Hehehe! Qin Ce left the stage, and because Qin Ce took a bunch of money with him, the Dragon Chair was not as neat as it was at the beginning. Lu Xiaobu casually rearranged it to make the pile of money somewhat resemble a chair. The second person came up, extremely excited. This person was from Jueying Platform. Although the Dragon Chair had become very uneven and was even more uncomfortable to sit on than for Qin Ce, he was still ecstatic as he sat. Likewise, in the end, he also grabbed a handful of money. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, he didnt grab as much as Qin Ce did, only slightly over two million. It wasnt because he lacked strength. It was because Qin Ce had messed up the pile of money before. Everyone should have moved bricks before; when neatly stacked, a normal person can grab a lot. But if the bricks are piled up haphazardly, its hard to grab many at all. I definitely dont mean anything else by this, Im not saying you can only hold bricks, absolutely not! *Cough cough cough!* Afterwards. Those with outstanding performance continued to come up one by one, sitting on the increasingly uncomfortable Dragon Chair, taking a large handful of money from the increasingly messy pile. Although the people later on grabbed less and less money, they still drove those who didnt even have the chance to come up and grab money insanely jealous. "Damn! I swear! Swear! Im going to work super hard in the new year! Next year I must be the one going up there to grab money!" One person, who due to approaching New Year had slacked off for a few days and missed first place by just a few thousand in performance, said with popping veins and red eyes. He regretted slacking off so much. Now, watching that guy walk away with over a million, he was almost going insane! "I will too, I will also give it my all, my all!" Another runner-up felt the same, his mind filled with one thoughtStrive! They realized for the first time the huge difference between first and second place! Not just the runners-up were driven mad. Every single employee sitting below was also going insane. "Strive! Strive! Strive!" "Damn, now I know what real disparity is!" "Im such an idiot, usually for small gains, I gave up on performance, gave up on contracts, now see whats happened, I lost the big for the small, lost the big for the small!" "No way, Im not messing around this year, Im going home to have meals with my family, the rest of the time, Ill spend on learning." "I swear again, next year, in the top seats, there must be a place for me!" "I swear too!" "..." The whole venue became incredibly excited and agitated, watching others brazenly taking money right in front of them, continually stimulating their minds, and causing their hormones and adrenal glands to secrete like mad! The seven bosses just watched, astounded! They werent newbies either; all had been executives at various companies before defecting here. Then they knew exactly what other companies annual meetings were like! Countless bosses, to motivate their employees, would go on endlessly with grand theories, desperately promising big dreams. But in reality. The situation turned out far from what they imagined, not to mention motivating employees, it was already a blessing if they could ensure that employees wouldnt massively quit next year! But what about here with Young Master Bu? No promising big dreams, no grand theories, not even bothering with pleasantries. Directly smashing down a billion in cash here, letting you grab at will! This seemingly crude, seemingly wasteful, seemingly brainless act, yet achieved such excellent results. One can imagine, not just next year, but from today until the same day next year, everyone here would maintain an extreme fervor! If the employees are enthused, could the company be any worse? Consider this, under such fervent conditions, is a billion a lot? Probably could make it back in minutes! They were all exclaiming in amazement. Could this be Young Master Bus genius plan? This was their first time directly facing such a straightforward and electrifying strategy. Such a strategy truly mesmerizes and drives people mad! Liang Lan stood by, smiling silentlyYou guys, dont think youre unbeatable; by staying by Young Masters side for a long while, youll realize that your previous selves were just looking at the sky from the bottom of a well! Chapter 311 - 310 Crying from Being Played [4th Update, 2000 Recommendation Votes Bonus - ] Chapter 311: Chapter 310 Crying from Being Played [4th Update, 2000 Recommendation Votes Bonus Chapter]The top performers have already collected their money, people who have achieved something in every area, at every level, have received hefty rewards. And that one billion in cash, has also decreased by about a third, thats about thirty million. The remaining seventy million is for everyones red envelopes. It seems like a lot left, but there are just too many people! If one billion were to be divided equally, each person would get less than a thousand yuan. Not to mention its only seventy million left now. Just consider those few hundred yuan as an extra benefit. So everyones silently making a firm resolution in their hearts, their goal is to sit at the top seats next year! To sit on the Dragon Throne! To grab a fortune! To win big prizes! ... The money distribution is done. "Alright, lets serve the food, everyone can eat, drink, and watch the performance." Xiaobu, with a grand wave of his hand, once again skipped over the countless scheduled segments. All those other leaders speeches, well-wishing from other companies, documentaries, promotional videos, do whatever they want! Huo Yichen is on the verge of tearsbut hey, hes used to it. He is truly redundant! "Well done, youve done a good job too." Xiaobu didnt overlook this diligent guy, who also got to kick off the event; he casually grabbed a handful of the dwindling pile of cash and stuffed it into Huo Yichens arms: "Work hard next year." "Yes!" Huo Yichens heart instantly filled with strength. He bowed deeply with a snap! Money is important, but having Young Master Bu personally speak these words to him is just as important! "Lets go, lets go, time to eat." Xiaobu took Liang Lan, Zhang Meng, and those seven bosses to have a meal. The employees have received their rewards, now its time for these bosses too. But theres no need to openly talk about their rewards. No need whatsoever. ... The annual meeting was a tremendous success, unprecedentedly so. However, some people were quite vexed. The most vexed was Huo Yichen. Because... Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Im sorry, Im sorry! I didnt know the date was changed so suddenly, the annual meeting is already over." "No, no, Im not playing with you, it really was changed suddenly." "Comrades of the press, dont blame me! You know what Young Master Bu is like, Im just as stunned! How about this, let me arrange an interview for you?" "Director Wang, dont be mad, I really didnt know, okay? What! Youre getting fired up now, arent you? Want me to let you talk to Xiaobu personally?!" "..." These callers are all guests and reporters who were previously scheduled to be invited. These are all big shots, otherwise, they wouldnt qualify to be invited by Lu Group. However, these big shots got played hard by Xiaobu. They pushed aside all their other engagements, taking a whole day to attend Lu Groups annual meeting! They got all dressed up, plane tickets bought. Only to be told at the last minute that it was already over! How vexing is that for you?! What kind of plane joke is this?! How can they get the date wrong?! How is that different from getting to bed, pants off, only to discover the other person is a man?! However, they dont think its Xiaobus fault, they think Huo Yichen got the date wrong, so theyre all calling to complain! ... Right, besides them being played. Some others got played too. Thats a bunch of brazen rascals. On the next day of the annual meeting, the original scheduled date. Four or five vans quietly arrived near the venue of the annual meeting. "Big brother, are you sure this will work? Thats Xiaobu were talking about!" One of the lackeys said with palpable anxiety. "Its definitely doable; were not targeting Lu Xiaobu himself, just his employees." The boss said with certainty, "What kind of person is Lu Xiaobu? The number one prodigal in history!" "He must hand out cash to his employees in wads, and this has been confirmed. Just yesterday, I saw someone from Lu Group withdraw an entire armored cash truck! Can you imagine how much money that was?" "Plus, at the year-end party, theyre bound to drink. There will surely be lots of people who overindulge." "When that time comes, we just need to pick our target, hit once and then leavewell make a fortune!" The boss was thrilled as he spoke. The underlings, hearing their bosss confident words, all displayed greed in their eyes. Right, hit them one good time! After that score, they could live the high life forever! Then... They waited from morning until noon. Underling: "Boss? Why hasnt anyone shown up?" The boss was also full of confusion: "Perhaps theyre having their year-end party tonight! Lets wait a bit longer!" Time slipped by again. Evening. They hadnt even had dinner yet! Underling: "Boss, where are the people?" Boss: "I have no freaking idea! They clearly said the party was today!" Underling: "Should I ask around?" The boss gritted his teeth: "Fine, go ahead, but remember not to let them see your face!" Underling: "You can count on me!" Then... After asking someone, the underling came back and sat in the car, burying his head in his hands and weeping. "Whats wrong? Whats there to cry about?!" the boss erupted in rage. "Boss, they said, the year-end party is already over, and you guessed it right, spot on! Lu Xiaobu indeed handed out lots of cash, many got drunk. Just now, the old man I asked was even given ten thousand by a drunkardhit the jackpot!" The underling continued to sob, his tears flowing like rain: "Boss! We got everything right, but, but we got the date wrong! My money!" After hearing what the underling said, the boss also cried. Yeah, his money! Even a passing old man was given ten thousand on the spot. If they hadnt got the date wrong, how much could they have made? Do you know how that feels? The feeling is just like when your girlfriend gets married, and the groom isnt you. That heart-wrenching, that despair. This isnt how its supposed to go! Lu Xiaobu, I hate you! But soon, he cried even harder. Because the old man they asked earlier had called the police. The cops showed up. Although they hadnt done anything illegal and wouldnt be sentenced, being taken in for a few days of "education" was inevitable! ... Two days passed, and it was almost New Years, but the news about the holiday was overshadowed by another piece of news. "Lu Group, a corporation filled with wild power" "Crazy employees, crazy leaders" "Everyone shares one slogan: to be number one" "A company with incredible unity" "A company whose employees you cant poach" The article detailed interviews with Lu Group employees. They were astounded by what a vibrant company this was. Every person radiated with fervor, emanating a do-or-die attitude for the company. Some journalists even pretended to be from other big companies, attempting to poach them with salaries three times higher. But they were firmly rejected. Their eyes filled with disdain for the tripled salaries! This baffled everyone. What exactly was the reason? What on earth happened at the year-end party? To bestow such immense cohesiveness and loyalty upon the company? It wasnt until later that the information finally leaked out! And so! The internet exploded! They cried out, clamoring to be part of Lu Group! Chapter 312 - 311 Something Feels Off [5th update, additional update for 2000 recommendation votes] Chapter 312: Chapter 311 Something Feels Off [5th update, additional update for 2000 recommendation votes]Lu Xiaobus year-end party video got leaked and went viral online. Then, the entire internet exploded. Everyone was crying out, wanting to work at Lu Group. "Im in! How much money are we talking about? How much money? Someone tell me how much!" "A billion! If Im not mistaken, its a billion!" "A throne made of a billion? You get to sit on the Dragon Chair at the prime seat of the year-end party and even grab a handful!" "Holy shit, if it were me, Id grab five million! If theres a chance to grab a handful, I dont even need a salary!" "Who the hell wouldnt! With five million, Id give up my salary for ten years, after all, thats like an annual salary of five hundred thousand!" "No wonder, no wonder, no wonder nobody can poach them." "If it were me, I wouldnt leave either!" "Ive decided, after I graduate, Im going to work at Lu Group." "Stop dreaming, whoever posted above, do you think you can just work at Lu Group whenever you want?" "Sorry, Im a Cambridge School graduate, do I qualify?" "Uh... Big shot, please go ahead!" "..." Although Qin Ce and the others only grabbed three million at most, the internet people didnt know that! They saw a huge amount of money, they felt it was like five or six hundred million! So, they all went crazy, desperately wanting to work at Lu Group, sending in all sorts of resumes! As a result, the number of people ready to work at Lu Group after the New Year surged in no time! The seven bosses smiles were crooked; among these people were quite a few talents. The more talents there were, the more prosperous the company, the more prosperous the company, the more Young Master Bu would earn, and the more Young Master Bu would earn, the more rewards they would get! It was a perfect virtuous cycle! And all this was just because Young Master Bu had organized a year-end party! God! Young Master Bu is a God! ... Time flies. Soon, it came to the time of the real New Years celebration. Well, today, Lu Xiaobu became a loner. Besides Lu Xiaobu getting Zhang Meng to bring Mother Zhang over to celebrate the New Year together and Wu Qianmin being their neighbor, Lu Xiaobu drove away everyone else. Go wherever you need to go, go spend New Years with your parents! Then it was New Years Eve. Lu Xiaobus phone rang. "Hello? Whos this?" Lu Xiaobu lay in bed, his eyes groggy as he spoke. Usually, his phone was either held by Liang Lan or Su Luoxue, it had been a while since he held his phone himself. "Hello, is this Mr. Lu Xiaobu speaking?" A young womans voice came from the other end. "Yeah, thats me." Lu Xiaobu yawned as he spoke. "Well, we are calling from the Spring Festival Gala team, wed like to invite you to the live event, what do you think?" The young woman continued. "Huh? Spring Festival live broadcast?" Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched: "Are you a scammer? How did you get my phone number? I see youre having a hard time on New Years Eve. Forget it, as long as you dont disturb my sleep, give me your bank account information, Ill transfer some money to you, go celebrate New Years." "Huh?" The young woman on the other end of the line was completely baffled. Lets not even say shes not a scammer, but even if she was, you dont deal with it like that! Giving money to a scammer just so you wont be disturbed while sleeping? Whats going on with your thought process? She gave a bitter smile: "Mr. Lu, we really are from the Spring Festival Gala team, sincerely inviting you to come and watch the show live, to celebrate the New Year together." In her heart, she was also helpless, when has the Spring Festival Gala team ever had to humble themselves to invite someone? Even for those richer than Lu Xiaobu, they would only give a call to inform them. But Xiaobu definitely couldnt. Xiaobu was laden with too much glory, and he was also a bit too mischievous. The leaders had specifically told her to always be exceedingly polite. Even if things didnt work out, she mustnt get angry or act petulant. If he showed up, theyd pretend not to see any tip Xiaobu might give. "Is it really for the Spring Festival Gala? Not a scam?" Xiaobu asked, "Its fine if youre just after my money, but if youre going to drag me all the way there for nothing, then youre not getting off easy." "Really, its no scam. Look at our phone number; its verifiable. I truly am from the Spring Festival Gala team. We sincerely invite you!" The customer service girl patiently explained. And really, even scamming you for money is no big deal. Thats quite the thick aura of affluence coming off that remark! "Alright then, Ill come check it out," Xiaobu nodded and agreed, "By the way, I can leave early if I want, right? I might get sleepy." "Of course." The customer service girl felt helpless. Why did Young Master Bus concerns always differ from everyone elses? "Fine, Ill head over in a bit. Meet me at the door, will you? Im not great with directions, and I hope your place doesnt have too many... complications. I have a bit of a temper." Xiaobu continued. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Of course, I will meet you at the entrance right now. You can come over whenever youre ready." The customer service girl quickly responded. Ah, truly, she guessed this was the most important guest they had ever had to personally greet at the door. What? You dont believe it? OK, listen, her colleague over there is inviting the number one on the Third Level Rich Listthe Wen Family Hall. Listen to the tone theyre using. "Hello, this is the Spring Festival Gala customer service. Is this Mr. Wen of Wen Family Hall? Congratulations, you are invited to attend the live Spring Festival Gala. Do you confirm your attendance?" "You will attend? Great, we are looking forward to welcoming you." Hmm, and thats it. Just these two sentences. Did you hear that? Thats the tone used when inviting the number one on the Third Level Rich List. Now compare that to the way she talked to Xiaobu. See the difference? Theyre politely casual with someone whos number one. Yet she has to tiptoe around, plaster on a smile, and answer all those pointless questions. Sigh, such is life! Xiaobu got up, washed up, and lazily made his way downstairs. "Who were you on the phone with just now?" Lu Hongbin asked curiously, "I heard you talking about scammers and such." "The Spring Festival Gala crew. They insist on me attending live. Yawn... Its fine though, I asked, and we can leave early. Ill make sure to come back for the reunion dinner." "Go go go, whats the point of coming back if youre at the Spring Festival Gala?" Lu Hongbin rolled his eyes and said, "What an honor it is, and you talk about coming back? Just stay there till after midnight and then return." "Well see! Depends on how the show goes. If its no good, I wont play along with them." Xiaobu yawned as he spoke. He didnt know how good this Water Blue Stars Spring Festival Gala would be. So he couldnt be the judge. Anyway, with nothing better to do, he might as well check it out. "Wait a minute! You have to keep your temper in check, thats the Spring Festival Gala, after all. Dont just lose your temper willy-nilly!" Lu Hongbin suddenly became anxious. Good heavens, if that kid Bu exploded at the Spring Festival Gala... Sheesh, too frightening to even imagine! "Dont worry, I wont. I know whats at stake," Xiaobu waved his hand to reassure Lu Hongbin. But Lu Hongbin became even more worried. Think about itwhen has Xiaobu ever really put people at ease when he says he will?! Feels like troubles brewing! Chapter 313 - 312: A Thorough Investigation [1st Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 313: Chapter 312: A Thorough Investigation [1st Update, Please Subscribe]Zhang Meng and Wu Qianmin took a private jet to rush to the Imperial. Wu Qianmin, this young girl, seemed very excited. She felt it had been a long time since she last spent time alone with Lu Xiaobu. Unconsciously, Xiaobu was no longer like he used to be, and she also lost the routine of being alone with him like before! Every night, she would fall into a dilemma. She wondered if the old days were better when she could have Lu Xiaobu to herself, even though he was a real jerk. Or if the present days are better when Lu Xiaobu has become impressive, but she also lost those days of alone time with him. Upon arrival in the Imperial, right before deplaning, Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily: "Zhang Meng, give everyone a bonus of ten thousand each; its not easy having to come with me during Chinese New Year." Upon hearing that, Zhang Meng immediately began counting money, handing out ten thousand to the pilot and each stewardess. "Thank you, Young Master Xiaobu, Young Master Xiaobu, may you dominate the Jianghu for thousands of generations!" Everyone was laughing and having a good time; since they were out today, it meant they definitely couldnt return for the New Year, but getting the reward from Young Master Bu made them very happy. The Imperial at this moment was enveloped in the festive atmosphere of the New Year. And since everyone had gone home for the New Year, the usually overcrowded Imperial surprisingly exuded a bit of tranquility and mildness. "Happy New Year." A passing pedestrian greeted Lu Xiaobu with a cupped-hand salute. "Happy New Year." Lu Xiaobu responded cheerfully. They arrived at the agreed location, and that customer service girl was still waiting at the door. The customer service girl was so cold from standing at the door that she started shivering, pacing back and forth, breathing on her hands to keep warm. She couldnt help but complain in her heart. Really, why should she be the only one to suffer like this? Others didnt have to do anything; only she, who had to make calls to Lu Xiaobu, had to endure this. "Youre the girl who called me, right?" The customer service girl heard a gentle voice and immediately looked up. Wow, a handsome guy. Although she had seen Lu Xiaobus photo before, she was still amazed when seeing him in person. Well, it was worth the cold. "Yes, Im the one who called you; shall we go inside?" The customer service girl put on a smile and said to Lu Xiaobu. "Alright, a reward, ten thousand." Lu Xiaobu nodded upon seeing the shivering customer service girl. Zhang Meng started counting money. "This... this... this...," the customer service girl stuttered, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "Take it, buy yourself a coat. Youre quite something; to think you only wore stockings." Lu Xiaobu glanced at her decent-looking black silk-clad legs and said. "Thank you, Young Master Xiaobu." The customer service girl accepted it, and her smiling face became even more radiant. What? Did you say she was unwilling to receive Lu Xiaobu? When did she ever say that?! No, never. Receiving Young Master Bu is her honor. Who dares to badmouth Young Master Bu? Ill beat them to death! Lu Xiaobu followed the customer service girl inside. "Young Master Bu, its only just noon right now, and there is still some time before the official event starts this afternoon. So, after you get the invitation, you can choose to wait here or come back in the afternoon; either is fine." The customer service girl explained as she led the way. However... Silence. She didnt hear any response, which puzzled her. "Young Master Bu..." The customer service girl turned her head to ask if he didnt understand something. And then... She discovered Lu Xiaobu had disappeared! Disappeared! "Ah!" The customer service girl panicked! What kind of trick is disappearing? Young Master Bu, where have you gone? No way, at least give me a heads up before you go! What kind of ghost just disappears without a peep? How many tycoons play tricks like you?! ... Where do you think Lu Xiaobu went? Obviously, he went backstage. Hed wanted to see what the descendants were up to for a long time. Dont ask how he managed to get in. He is Lu Xiaobu, after all, and he was led in by a customer service girljust a bit of blarney and no one stopped him. There are really a lot of people backstage! People in costume, people putting on makeup, people practicing, and of course, rows and rows of people sleeping. The endless rehearsals had left each and every one of them utterly exhausted. Its said theres a minute on stage but ten years of work backstage, and you still have to practice for days before going on. As he walked, he saw a little girl doing her homework. Dont get any weird ideasit was a genuine little sister, that kind who looks like shes still in elementary school. Lu Xiaobu walked over out of curiosity. He saw the little girl frowning, biting on her pen, looking quite troubled. "Whats the matter? Little sister, cant do it?" Lu Xiaobu glanced at the problem. Well, he couldnt do it either! No choicehad it been math or Chinese, he might have understood. But it happened to be English. He was totally in the dark. "Yes, I cant do it." The little sister nodded: "Big brother, can you do it? Can you teach me?" "Of course!" Lu Xiaobu immediately nodded: "Im the national top scorer in the college entrance exam!" You cant say no in front of the ladies. Nor in front of a little sister. Inside his mind, the system let out a scoff: "Heh!" Seems he has no idea where his top scorer title came from. "Really?" The little sisters eyes lit up immediately: "Then big brother, tell me which one to choose?" "Choose D for the first one, A for the second, and A for the third..." Lu Xiaobu quickly relayed the answers to the little sister. The little sister filled in the answers, looking up to him admiringly, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to explain them. "Mengmeng, have you finished your homework?" At this moment, someone who might be a teacher or a parent came over. "Not yet, I met a national top scorer of the college entrance exam, and he is teaching me." Mengmeng said crisply. "National top scorer? Where is he?" The person in charge walked over to Mengmeng and asked in confusion. "Eh? He was just here." Mengmeng looked around, dumbfounded, as the big brother had vanished in the blink of an eye. "Also, did he teach you these questions?" The person in charge saw Mengmengs test paper and started twitching at the corners of their mouth. "Yes, the big brother taught me." Mengmeng nodded affirmatively. "Mengmeng, dont just talk to strangers, okay?" the person in charge said with a breaking heart: "The questions he taught you, they perfectly managed to avoid every correct answer, all wrong!" The person in charge was internally collapsing. To come up with all the wrong answers like this, hes quite the talent. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They felt that the person Mengmeng mentioned must have been deliberately messing with her. Otherwise, even if you were to guess randomly, youd get at least one right, wouldnt you? "Huh?" Mengmengs little face was filled with confusion. The kind of confusion that could make ones heart melt! She never imagined that the so-called national college entrance exam top scorer big brother would teach her this way. All wrong?! Chapter 314 - 213: Someone’s Causing Trouble? [2nd Release, Please Subscribe] Chapter 314: Chapter 213: Someones Causing Trouble? [2nd Release, Please Subscribe]The lead dancer explained the correct answers and the reasons to the little sister, then left to get busy. Hmm, at this moment, Lu Xiaobu came out from a group of children whose programs involved Martial Arts. What? He hid? Nonsense! He clearly went to observe others Martial Arts. What? You ask why he was squatting if he was just observing? And hiding in the crowd? Thats to close the distance, get it! Forget it, I wont explain anymore, you wouldnt understand. He coughed twice and approached the little sister. "Hmph, big brother is lying." Mengmeng saw Lu Xiaobu scrunch his nose and tilt his head, ignoring Lu Xiaobu. "Really, Im not lying. What I said was right." Lu Xiaobu shamelessly said. "And you still say its true? Our lead dancer said you perfectly avoided all the correct answers." Mengmeng pouted, her face full of disbelief. "Cough cough, really, what your lead dancer said was wrong." Lu Xiaobu said while taking out his phone, found the news of his being the national college entrance examination top scorer, and showed it to the little sister: "See, is this me?" "Ah?! Ha! Really! Big brother, you really are the national top scorer?!" Mengmeng looked at the phone then back at Lu Xiaobu, her face filled with shock. Her expression became even more adorably painful. Then... "Yes, I believe big brother, it turns out what the lead dancer said was wrong." Mengmeng said this while changing her answers back to the nonsense that Lu Xiaobu initially blurted out. Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaobu nodded satisfied: "Thats right, what program are you guys doing?" "We are dancing, I dance really well." Mengmeng spoke a bit proudly and even specially showed him a bit of her dance. "Not bad, not bad, big brother will watch carefully later." Lu Xiaobu nodded satisfied. He wasnt just humoring her; Mengmeng really did dance well. You could tell, this little girl genuinely loves dancing. "Okay then." Mengmeng, hearing the praise, proudly shook her little head and smiled. "I have something else to do, I have to go." Lu Xiaobu originally wanted to chat a bit more. Suddenly looking up... He saw the lead dancer coming over again... He hurriedly bolted. No, it was an inspection. Lu Xiaobu left. The lead dancer came over. She looked down at Mengmengs answers. "Ah!" The lead dancer went crazy: "Mengmeng, why did you change it to the wrong one?!" "Big brother taught me! He is the national top scorer, lead dancer teacher, you werent the top scorer during your exam, were you?" Mengmeng asked with her small face tilted up. "Pfft!" The lead dancer spat out blood in frustration. You make a good point, Im speechless! But! That answer is really wrong! ... Cough cough cough, ignoring the lead dancer correcting the answer in collapse. Lu Xiaobu went to inspect again. Martial Arts Team. Lu Xiaobu curiously asked: "You guys are practicing Martial Arts?" "Yes." A little bald boy about Mengmengs age nodded eagerly, apparently excited. It must be his first time on such a big stage. "Come on, hit me with a punch." Lu Xiaobu said: "Lets see the power." "Young Master." Zhang Meng quickly held back Lu Xiaobu: "I can see, even though they are children, they really have trained, better not try it." "No worries, just playing." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand to the little bald boy: "Come on, use ten percent of your strength, give me a hard punch." "Uh..." The little bald boy looked distressed, ten percent but still hard? How hard?! Who can teach me how to be ruthless?! This is too much! ... Lu Xiaobu saw a Magician practicing magic. It was clear that he had real skills; although knowing it was fake, Lu Xiaobu, at such close range, couldnt spot any flaws. Impressive. Lu Xiaobus eyes twinkled: "I can do magic too, and you wont be able to figure it out. Believe it?" "I dont believe it." The Magician shook his head. He was quite confident in his magic. This guy looked like an amateur. There was no way he would fail to notice. "Watch this." Lu Xiaobu chuckled and, looking at a girl in a skirt nearby, whispered to the Magician: "Bet you cant believe I can lift her skirt without touching it?" "I dont believe it." The Magician immediately shook his head. Impossible. "Want to bet?" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows. "Lets bet then." The Magician got fired up. "Alright, if I do it, you take the blame, ok?" Lu Xiaobu grinned wickedly. "Agreed." The Magician was full of confidence. Lu Xiaobu nodded in satisfactionDragon Capturing Hand. "Whoosh!" The skirt flew up. Ah, leggings underneath, in black. "Shh! Did you really do it?" The Magician was dumbfounded. "Hehe." Lu Xiaobu nodded, and then told the girl: "This guy did it." After that, Lu Xiaobu walked away. The girl, fuming, then stormed towards him. The Magicians face crumbled! ... All along his way, Lu Xiaobu stirred up chaos; wherever he got interested, turmoil followed. Outside were mostly backup dancers and singers. Although not the main characters, they were all extremely sincere, repeating their practice repeatedly to ensure a satisfactory performance for the people of the country. As he went further inside, the bigger the celebrities. Separate resting rooms and the like began to appear. Yet even so, the sound of rehearsals continuously emerged from within the resting rooms. Everybody was earnest. Walking along, Lu Xiaobu unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance. "Chen Feiyang?" Lu Xiaobu looked at the smartly dressed Chen Feiyang, barely recognizing him. However, his expression was rather grim. "Young Master Bu?" Chen Feiyang was also astonished upon seeing Lu Xiaobu: "How did you get backstage?" He knew that Lu Xiaobu was invited to the event, but had never heard that audience members could also come backstage. But then he realized, laughing bitterly. Thinking too much seemed redundant; how many could stop Young Master Bu? "Come on, Young Master Bu, lets sit in my room." Chen Feiyang led Lu Xiaobu to his resting room and poured him some tea. "Do you also have a performance? Come on, show me a bit." S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu eagerly said. "What, no, I am the director, assistant director." Chen Feiyang was helpless, do I look like I perform in shows? "Never mind then." Lu Xiaobu, losing interest, casually asked: "Just now, you seemed upset?" "Its because of those Korean celebrities!" Chen Feiyang was fuming as he mentioned it. "Korean celebrities? Causing trouble?" Lu Xiaobus expression immediately hardened. What time is this? Its New Year! What event is this? Its the Heavenly Dynastys biggest celebrationthe Spring Festival Gala! Causing trouble at this time, this moment?! Wheres my brick! Chapter 315 - 214: Lead the Way! [Third Update, 5000 Votes for Extra - ] Chapter 315: Chapter 214: Lead the Way! [Third Update, 5000 Votes for Extra Chapter]Chen Feiyang really wanted to slap himself. He really deserved a beating, why did he have to bring this up in front of Young Master Bu?! Now its all over! If Young Master Bu loses his temper, who can hold it back?! If this messes up tonights gala, how is he going to explain it to the whole country? "Uh, Young Master Bu, please have some tea, lets not talk about that." Chen Feiyang tried to smooth things over. "What actually happened?" Lu Xiaobu continued with a grim face, "You know I dont like asking twice." "Alright!" Chen Feiyang sighed and began, "Actually, its not a big deal, we invited a few Korean stars as requested by netizens, those stars from the THX boy group you scolded before, everything was fine until a timing issue suddenly occurred during rehearsal." "What kind of issue?" Lu Xiaobu wasnt giving Chen Feiyang any chance to skate by. "The time was insufficient and we needed to cut a program last-minute. We all discussed and asked the Korean stars for help, to understand and cut their program, as after all, this is our Heavenly Dynastys gala," Chen Feiyang continued. "Initially, everything was fine; they agreed amiably, and everyone thought the issue was resolved!" But speaking of this, his expression had already started to turn sour. "However, just now, these boy group guys started slandering us in the evening, claiming that we have shady dealings, we tricked them, and that they were passionately ready but got their program cut." "As a result, in just a moment, it exploded online; their crazy fans started causing trouble!" "All sorts of refusal, insisting their oppas must perform and whatnot." "The commotion got fierce! It even alerted the Korean side, escalating the situation dramatically!" "Finally, the directors, having no other choice, had to compromise and cut one of our Heavenly Dynastys programs," Chen Feiyang said with immense anger, "Ive never seen such shameless people. This is our countrys gala, and to be bullied by foreigners like that! Im so frustrated! The main director is an asshole too! What is there to endure! Damn!" "Quite arrogant, huh!" Lu Xiaobu twisted his neck and stood up, "Take us to find them." "No, no, Young Master Bu, this is the Spring Festival Gala, can we please not cause trouble?" Chen Feiyang came back to his senses, his emotions had been stirred up, so he quickly tried to persuade him. He was truly afraid that if Lu Xiaobu started making a scene, no one could handle it! After all, they can just curse a bit, but what about Xiaobu? Just imagine! "Will you take me or not? If not, I will kick down every door, room by room." Lu Xiaobu glanced at Chen Feiyang with a calm tone. Although his tone was calm, the underlying force made Chen Feiyang shiver. If someone else said this, he would have taken it as nonsense and ignored it altogether. After all, where is this? Its the Spring Festival Gala backstage, surely it would be madness to make a scene! But now, these words were said by Young Master Bu. He couldnt disbelieve nor dare to disbelieve! If Young Master Bu says he will kick down doors, he will absolutely do it. Young Master Bu, who does whatever he wants, is not just bluffing. So, he could only helplessly stand up, pleading, "Okay, but please, Young Master Bu, try not to resort to violence, alright?" "Lead the way." Lu Xiaobu didnt give any promises. Chen Feiyang, fearful and trembling, could only open the door. And as soon as he stepped out, he almost bumped into a little girl leaning against the door, giving him a big scare. At that moment, the little girls face was streaked with tears, crying. Chen Feiyang, frightened, thought he had scared the little girl, hastily crouched down to comfort her, "Dont cry, dont cry, whats wrong? Were you scared? Uncle apologizes, it was my fault for not watching where I was going!" "No... no... its not, its not Uncles fault," the little girl said between sobs. "Mengmeng?" Lu Xiaobu walked out, saw the little girl, and immediately frowned, asking, "Whats wrong?" "Big brother, waah!" Mengmeng, who had been holding back her tears, started sobbing uncontrollably upon seeing Lu Xiaobu. "Whats wrong? Whats wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, theyve gone too far!" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobus anger flared up instantly. Crouching down, he picks up Mengmeng, wiping her tears while asking. This little sister, he had high hopes for. Dare bully her?! "I... I... our performance, was... was... canceled." Mengmeng said sobbingly, her face makeup smeared into a colorful mess. No longer was there the brilliant smile she had while dancing for Lu Xiaobu earlier. "Oh? So its your program that was shelved!" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed. He knew what was happening. "Yes!" Mengmeng nodded grievously, continually wiping away tears. They had put in so much for this performance, and now having it canceled, one can imagine the despair. "No worries, brother will take you around, and your show can go on." Lu Xiaobu said while patting Mengmengs head. "Really?" Mengmengs eyes suddenly brightened, expectantly. "Really, as long as you stop crying, it will be fine." Lu Xiaobu smiled gently. However, this smile looked gentle to Mengmeng, but to Chen Feiyang, it was none other than the Demon Kings smile! Young Master Bu is about to lose it! "Yes yes yes, I wont cry, I believe in big brother." Mengmeng hurriedly nodded, desperately wiping her tears to show she had stopped. "Yes, good girl Mengmeng." Lu Xiaobu handed her a tissue. Then, his piercing gaze turned toward the increasingly frightened Chen Feiyang: "Lead! The way!" "Okay, okay." Chen Feiyang was just daring enough to persuade. But now, he had no choice but to obey, stripped of any methods. He dared not refuse Lu Xiaobu. Otherwise, he truly couldnt imagine what Lu Xiaobu might do in this condition. Kick down doors?! Thats childs play! He even suspected that Young Master Bu might tear down the entire Spring Festival Gala! ... Chen Feiyang led Lu Xiaobu, who was holding Mengmeng, toward THX boy bands dressing room. Approaching the dressing room, a wave of unrestrained voices came through. "Tsk tsk tsk, in the end, we still have to perform." "Think kicking our program off was going to be easy?" "Exactly, exactly!" "Enough, shut it! We are still in the Heavenly Dynasty, talk outside if you must, quickly prepare for the program." "Eh, whats there to fear! Weve practiced enough, and even if theres a mistake, it doesnt matter, we live off our looks after all." "You guys! I really! Ugh! I knew I shouldnt have come up with this lousy idea, just look at each of you!" "Who are you to manage me?! Mind your own business!" "..." It seems this so-called THX boy band is not in harmony internally! There are conflicts amongst them. But thats none of Lu Xiaobus concern! On our Heavenly Dynasty turf, you must abide by our Heavenly Dynasty rules! Dare to cause trouble! Did you ask me?! Lu Xiaobu handed Mengmeng to Chen Feiyang to hold. Then he lifted his leg and kicked the wooden door! "Come, lets see who is being so arrogant!" Chapter 316 - 215 Rolling Humiliation [Fourth Update, 6000 recommendation tickets for more updates] Chapter 316: Chapter 215 Rolling Humiliation [Fourth Update, 6000 recommendation tickets for more updates]"Boom!" The wooden door was kicked open by Lu Xiaobu. "Come, let me see who is being so arrogant!" Lu Xiaobu said as he appeared in front of the THX boy band. "Who are you?! This is our dressing room, what are you barging in for?" Jin Huen, with his shoulder-length hair looking like a lady, stood up and scolded Lu Xiaobu. Jin Huen thought that even the Spring Festival Gala organizers couldnt handle them, let alone others. Lu Xiaobu recognized the voice, it was the one who spoke the most arrogantly just now. However... Before he could speak. Just in the next second... Jin Huen was immediately restrained by the other members of the boy band next to him, pressed to the ground, and his mouth covered! The other members of the boy band were sweating with fear. Has this guy gone mad? Didnt he see who this is!? This is Lu Xiaobu, who tears them apart and leaves them bleeding without daring to retort! Provoking Lu Xiaobu? Jin Huen, how many lives do you have? Their eyes involuntarily turned to the one who dealt with Lu Xiaobu the mostHan Meng. "Gulp!" Han Meng swallowed hard with fear. Even though it was the dead of winter, his body was instantly drenched with sweat. No one had a deeper fear of Lu Xiaobu than him. He timidly stood up and hurriedly greeted: "Hello, Young Master Bu! Nice to see you again, Young Master Bu!" "Hehe, I dont think I really want to see me." Lu Xiaobu sneered. "Haha." Han Meng laugh awkwardly with fear. He doesnt not want to see Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu is his nightmare. After the last time, he had nightmares for a month. There was nothing else in the nightmares, just Lu Xiaobu alone. Whenever Lu Xiaobus face appeared, he would wake up instantly. Not only that, but his career was also greatly affected. Although there were still many delusional fans supporting him, he was not as popular as before. Thats why he wanted to seize this opportunity at the Spring Festival Gala to make a comeback. "It was your idea, wasnt it." Lu Xiaobu twisted his neck, looking at Han Meng. He had heard Han Mengs voice outside the door just now, it must have been his idea. "This... that..." Han Mengs legs started shaking! He just wanted to seize this opportunity, so he resorted to such methods to be on the Spring Festival Gala. Who would have thought that he would run into this nightmare! This could cost him his life. So! Without any further ado: "Young Master Bu, I was wrong, we wont perform, well drop our act, well follow the directors arrangement!" Chen Feiyang was stunned. He knew Lu Xiaobu had a deterrent effect on these boy band members. But he didnt expect it to be so terrifying! Just by showing up, he resolved the issue that their director team had struggled with in vain! "Who said that, just because youre not going doesnt mean were not going, dont freaking make decisions for us!" Jin Huen broke free from other peoples restraint and stood up shouting. Actually, being a lady-like man, how could he break free from other peoples restraint. It was entirely because the others were letting him. Why? Because others didnt want to miss this opportunity, to give up this piece of fat meat within reach! "Have you gone mad! Have you all gone mad?!" Han Meng Lei Ke yelled at these lunatics. He regretted this so much, why did he have to come up with such a bad idea when he was free! Now, he shot himself in the foot! However, he couldnt deny that he felt a bit of wishful thinking. Maybe, he could still get on the show. "Get lost." Jin Huen didnt give Han Meng any face: "Dont think I dont know what youre thinking, youve made enough in the Heavenly Dynasty, now you dont want us to make anything? Wishful thinking!" After that, he looked at Lu Xiaobu: "I know who you are, I know youre powerful, but what can you do about it? This is the Spring Festival Gala, not your house! Go look at the comments online, do you think the director team dares to not let us on?" He was very proud! What can Lu Xiaobu do? You are afraid of him, Im not! Just watch me beating Lu Xiaobu! "Comments online?" Lu Xiaobu curled his lips into a cold smirk, took out his phone, and opened Weibo. Lu Xiaobus Weibo: Young Master here declares, I dont agree to any crappy boy band being on the Spring Festival Gala! Got a problem with that? Come talk to me! Take it to Brain Black Gold to complain! Also, if any of them gets on, theyll be lying in bed for the New Year tomorrow! Seeing Lu Xiaobu post on Weibo, Jin Huen laughed so hard that his molars showed! "Are you crazy! I know youre rich, but so what? Can you change our fans attitudes? Our combined fans are hundreds of times yours, to use a phrase from Heavenly Dynasty, one spit from each of us could drown you." While he said that, he triumphantly took out his phone: "I want to see what youre gonna be blamed for!" The other boy bands also stealthily took out their phones. Though Jin Huen wasnt very sociable, he was still one of them, and the words he said also struck a chord in their hearts. They really didnt believe that their numerous fans would be crushed by a single Weibo post. However... Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The instant shift in the online atmosphere almost made their eyes pop! The previous opinion was like this. "Support THX boy band, my husbands must perform on the Spring Festival Gala!" "Yes, get rid of those singing and dancing shows, just let my husbands perform!" "Right, right, if the Spring Festival Gala doesnt let my husbands perform, just you wait to see your demise!" "..." But after Lu Xiaobu posted on Weibo. Just in an instant. Those previous Weibos and comments disappeared in droves. They were all deleted by their owners! And some who didnt know still continued posting. "Support THX!" "Hey upstairs, pay attention, Lu Xiaobu has just spoken, go have a look." "What? What did he say? Ill check it out!" A second later. "Holy crap! Wheres the delete button, where?!" A minute later, this ardent fan of THX cleared all his Weibo posts. All posts about THX gone, not a trace left! The online opinion also changed to the following. "Ahem, well, since Young Master Bu has spoken, its okay not to perform!" "Yes, yes, lets have a concert another day! It really isnt suitable for you to be on the Spring Festival Gala." "Thats good, just let it be! Just let it be!" "My husbands, see you next year, I still love you." "..." This is the terrifying influence of Lu Xiaobu. After all, no one wants to spend the New Year being hung on a Brain Black Gold advertisement, embarrassing themselves! Remember that old debtor? That story is still vividly remembered! What? You say its impossible? Lu Xiaobu wouldnt do that?! Hahahahaha! Look at my expression! And besides, Lu Xiaobu did say, if anyone performs, theyll spend tomorrow lying down! So, whether its for their own safety or for their husbands safety. Yeah, better keep quiet! Chapter 317 - 316: Bullying the Heavenly Dynasty? [5th update, bonus - for 110,000 rewards] Chapter 317: Chapter 316: Bullying the Heavenly Dynasty? [5th update, bonus Chapter for 110,000 rewards]The sudden shift in online sentiment left the boy band members completely stunned. They finally realized what kind of person they had provoked. Just how terrifying is the power of rabid fans? They can forcibly reverse the decisions of the Spring Festival Galas directing team! But! The man before them only needed one Weibo post to make their rabid fans cease and desist! How could this be described as anything but terrifying?! In other words, could the opponent potentially use a single Weibo post to completely ban them?! "Gulp!" All members of the boy band swallowed hard. Their fear was infinitely magnified. They were entertainers; being banned would be like being cast into Hell! Although they could still return to develop their careers in Korea. But, to be honest, without coming to the Heavenly Dynasty, one could never realize how great the Heavenly Dynasty really is. They definitely didnt want to be banned by the Heavenly Dynasty market! And at this moment, the chief director arrived. "Whats going on? Whats the matter?" The chief director came running over in a hurry, scolding: "The show is about to start, what are you messing around with?" After unleashing his tirade, he turned to Lu Xiaobu and scolded: "Lu Xiaobu, you can fool around anywhere else, but this place is not for your antics! How did you get backstage? Leave immediately!" He was the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala; others might fear Lu Xiaobu, but he did not. Hearing the assertive voice of the chief director. These boy band members felt as if they found a pillar of support. Their eyes lit up immediately. Once again, their wishful thinking began to overflow. So, they began to complain one after the other. "Director, Lu Xiaobu is too arrogant!" "Yes, he doesnt even take you seriously! What do you think he counts for?" "Exactly, you are the director! We were just following your orders! But now we are being threatened like this, we feel so aggrieved!" "We implore the director to uphold justice! Otherwise, we will have to notify our country." "Absolutely, absolutely, this has become a diplomatic issue now." "..." Yes, though they were scared, they still wanted to take a chance. After all, this was the Great Heavenly Dynastys biggest evening gala; getting on stage would be very beneficial. Moreover, they felt that although Lu Xiaobu was impressive, this person was the chief director after all. The chief director, bombarded with their threats, pleas, and flattery, had a headache. He was annoyed by these Koreans, but he had to admit that what they said was true. This matter had to be dealt with properly, no question about it. So, he fixed his gaze on Lu Xiaobu. He wanted to start with Lu Xiaobu. It wasnt that he was fearless without reason. After all, the Spring Festival Gala is the Spring Festival Gala, he had some confidence. Seeing his gaze, Chen Feiyangs hair stood on end. God damn it, has the chief director gone mad? Hes actually thinking of making a move on Lu Xiaobu! You may be confident, but when has Lu Xiaobu ever cared?! Sure enough! "It seems that some people dont take my words seriously." Lu Xiaobu twisted his neck: "Im someone who usually means what I say, so lets begin." No one knew what Lu Xiaobu meant by that. They couldnt believe Lu Xiaobu would dare to start a fight here. If Lu Xiaobu really dared, then he wouldnt be far from his own end! Jin Huen was even more arrogant, saying directly: "What? Want to hit me? This is the Spring Festival Gala! Dont be too bold! Be careful not to strain your tongue!" Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to respond. He just silently recited to himself. Ten million Dragon Capturing Hands! Charging... Fully Charged! "Bang!" "Crack!" In just an instant, the right leg of the still arrogant Jin Huen bent into a bizarre angle! Jin Huen suddenly fell to the ground. He still hasnt snapped out of it. Not until the next instant. A severe pain struck him in an instant. "Ah!" Jin Huens scream immediately swept through the entire dressing room! Everyones eyes popped out! What happened? What on earth happened? Why did Jin Huens leg suddenly break!? However, this was not the end, it was just the beginning. "Bang!" "Crack!" "Bang!" "Crack!" "Bang!" "Crack!" "..." With each crisp sound of bone breaking. Soon, the previously suave members of the boy band all turned into cripples! One by one they clutched their thighs, wailing in pain, snot and tears flowing, each suffering immensely! But the pain couldnt suppress the fear in their hearts. Their eyes were filled with fear, the fear of Lu Xiaobu. Yes, although they didnt know what was going on, they were sure that this was definitely Lu Xiaobus doing! Lu Xiaobu, silently and invisibly, had broken their legs! Although it sounded very supernatural, it was indeed a fact! They were scared, truly scared! Lu Xiaobu could easily break their legs. Likewise, he could just as easily take their lives! Go on stage? What stage? The cost of going on stage was something they couldnt bear! Chen Feiyang and the chief director were also scared stiff! Trembling, they watched everything unfold. What on earth happened? Why didnt they see anything? What kind of power could do this? Lu Xiaobu casually glanced over the audience: "Alright, you can go on stage now, Im powerless, cant stop you, go ahead, Ill wait and watch the performance." Having said that, he turned around, picked up Mengmeng, and revealed a brilliant smile: "Lets go." "Big brother, can we go on now?" Mengmeng didnt know what had happened, she had been covered by Chen Feiyang all the time earlier, just listening to the scary sounds. But as much as she was scared, in her heart, being able to perform on stage was the most important. "This is up to the director, huh!" Lu Xiaobu said with a smile, then directed his gaze towards the chief director. The chief director, seeing Lu Xiaobus brilliant smile, instantly felt his hair stand on end, and his whole body began to involuntarily shiver. He didnt want to break his leg! "Its fine, fine, fine, no problem at all!" The chief director quickly nodded with cold sweat pouring down. It was originally planned for this little girls act to go on stage, the decision was painfully made only after there were problems. Now getting back on track is of course possible! Besides, even if it wasnt on track! Would he dare to refuse? Could he dare to refuse? Given the masterful subtlety of this gentlemans trick just now, if he walked behind the scenes, wouldnt it be whoever he allowed to go on stage? After all, he didnt want everyone who could go on stage to easily end up with a broken leg! "Really? Lets go, big brother, Ill take you to our lead dancer, my makeup is smudged, I need to reapply quickly." Upon hearing this, Mengmeng immediately became excited, breaking free from Lu Xiaobus arms. Grabbing Lu Xiaobus hand, she ran forward. Seeing Mengmengs face light up with a happy smile again, he smiled too! In my Great Heavenly Dynasty, bully Heavenly Dynasty people?

Chapter 318 - 317: Freeze to Death Here [First Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 318: Chapter 317: Freeze to Death Here [First Update, Please Subscribe]Lu Xiaobu finally returned to the audience, becoming a true spectator. However, his seat was silently switched to another location. It was changed to one of the most prominent seats among the audience. You know, this kind of seat is usually reserved for real big shots, the sponsors who are big shots can sit there. After all, once you sit in such a seat, the camera will frequently sweep over during the following performances. More camera sweeps, more face time in front of the national audience. This can bring a lot of unexpected benefits to their companies. The most straightforward example, according to Liang Lans statistics later, was that because of Lu Xiaobus appearing on camera, cola sales increased by one-third, Shadow sales increased by one-fifth, and other companies saw growth of about 10% in their performance. It is believed that after the New Year, there will be new changes to the third-level wealth ranking. Moreover, these seats are not for just anyone who wants to sit there, money doesnt mean everything. For instance, the first place in the wealth ranking, Wen Family Hall, was sitting in the second-class seats, jealously and confusedly watching Lu Xiaobu, who was only 25th on the wealth ranking and not even in the top ten, sitting in a first-class seat. Wen Family Hall didnt know what was up, but the Spring Festival Gala crew knew. Yeah, we cant let this guy lose his cool any further. If he continues, real trouble will arise! ... The gala ended. Lu Xiaobu returned home. Then. He received high praise from his family. "Not bad, not bad. This time you actually kept your temper in check, didnt lose it at all." Lu Hongbin nodded with satisfaction. He had been worried all night that Lu Xiaobu might wreck the Spring Festival Gala. Unexpectedly, nothing happened. "Yes, it seems Lu Xiaobu has also learned to control himself, very good, very good! Come, lets make dumplings for you to eat." Lus father also nodded with satisfaction. "Of course, Im definitely not a troublemaker." Lu Xiaobu nodded, speaking very seriously but talking nonsense. Wu Qianmin, standing behind him, was desperately trying to keep her lips from twitching. Right, youre really not a troublemaker. You almost demolished the Spring Festival Gala. Uncle Lu, Big Brother Lu, you didnt see when Lu Xiaobu was about to leave, the entire crew lined up to send him off! If they werent concerned about pollution, they probably would have celebrated with firecrackers! She guarantees that next years Spring Festival Gala, they definitely wont want to invite Lu Xiaobu again. ... At three oclock in the early morning of the first day of the lunar new year. "Hey, Xiaobu, come pick me up." Chili Peppers call came through. "Why are you calling at this hour?" Lu Xiaobu, yawning, asked. He returned from Imperial late, so he hadnt slept yet. "Im bored at home, its better to come back." Zhou Jingyuan said somewhat grumpily. Her family really had enough of her. Either they were constantly comparing or they were making snide remarks. There were just two attitudes in the entire family. One was saying she brought shame to the Zhou Family by running off to give herself to others. Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The other was everyone trying to get close to her, wanting to meet Lu Xiaobu through her, and then meet Lin Feng through Lu Xiaobu. Is this the New Year or a trade fair? Cant they have a little shame?! So, holding back her urge to explode, she ate a meal and immediately left. It was more comfortable to stay by Lu Xiaobus side. Where she could play and be capricious! "No way, Im going to sleep, come back tomorrow." Lu Xiaobu really couldnt be bothered to move, he had been running around all day. "Are you coming or not?" Xiaobu immediately clenched her teeth and coldly snorted, "If you dont come, Ill just freeze to death on the street." "Are you crazy?! Freeze to death on the street, who threatens people like that?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, completely speechless. They say his way of thinking isnt like a normal persons. He thinks Xiaobus way of thinking is the one thats really not normal! "Dont believe me?" Xiaobus temper suddenly flared up. She originally hadnt had a good time during the New Year, so she was already quite irritated. Now, hearing Lu Xiaobus words, her anger magnified. The temper that hadnt erupted for a long time couldnt be suppressed anymore. She was going to throw a tantrum! "Ill start a video call right now and let you watch me freeze to death here!" Xiaobu said angrily, then threw Lu Xiaobu a link. By this time, Lu Xiaobu had actually already gotten up from the bed. He knew that Xiaobu really meant what she said. But still, he opened the video call request that Xiaobu had sent him. Seeing Xiaobus outfit, Lu Xiaobu nodded, his eyes lighting up. Usually, she was always around and he didnt pay much attention, but seeing her so suddenly in this cold... Yep, its still the same old Xiaobu, who could wear anything and make it look tempting. At the moment, Xiaobu had her hair tied up, with fluffy bangs in the front that made her look playful and cute. Of course, thats if you ignore her angry and unreasonable gaze! She was wearing a short, fur-lined leather jacket on top, with a warm black wool sweater underneath. However, as always, this otherwise extremely cute outfit couldnt conceal her prominent curves. Suddenly, this cute outfit took on an extremely tempting feel. Her lower half was clad in tight, warm leather pants, making her slightly shorter legs compared to Liang Lan and Su Luoxue look more elongated. Yep, those legs wrapped around the waist, oh my! Lu Xiaobu was still appreciating, when Xiaobu began to take off her clothes. Actually, she didnt remove much, just took off that little leather jacket. However, Xiaobus outfit was already minimal in terms of cold resistance, and now with it removed. Instantly, Lu Xiaobu could clearly see Xiaobu shivering violently. But even so, Xiaobu still stared fiercely at Lu Xiaobu in the video, "See that? If you dont come, or you finish coming, Ill just freeze to death here." "Fine, keep freezing; Im currently in Shimen, driving to the airport, the flight will take off, plus the flight time, about less than two hours in total, keep freezing, huh." Lu Xiaobu yawned as he spoke. He wasnt going to indulge Xiaobu. If she wanted to freeze, then let her freeze, if she gets sick, hed just take her to the doctor. You should know, him being threatened was already giving her enough face. "Uh..." Upon hearing this, Xiaobus body suddenly stiffened. Not from freezing, but from being stiffened by Lu Xiaobus words. Damn, right! How could I forget this detail? It will take time for him to fly over. Why did I take off my clothes so early?! Looking for a freeze?! Her eyes involuntarily glanced at the leather jacket she had thrown on the ground, internally hesitatingshould I put it on again?! Then... She looked up and saw Lu Xiaobus smirk. Humph, not wearing it, just not wearing it! Its just two hours! She endured it! If she froze, she would crawl into Lu Xiaobus blanket tonight and let him suffer with her! Humph, humph, humph! Chapter 319 - 318 Sleep Your Numbness, Get Up and Party [2nd Update] Chapter 319: Chapter 318 Sleep Your Numbness, Get Up and Party [2nd Update]Two hours later, at five in the morning. Hungover with sleepiness, Lu Xiaobu arrived at the spot where the little chili pepper was located. The customer service girl who waited for Lu Xiaobu in the morning was already frozen solid back then. Now, the little chili pepper was even more so, her face red and ears flushed, with snot running down her nose. She kept hugging her arms, walking around, rubbing her hands together, breathing warm air, trying every method to warm up. Of course, she excluded the piece of clothing she had thrown on the ground. She had said she wouldnt wear it, and she meant it! "Aha!" The moment the little chili pepper saw Lu Xiaobu, she flung her cellphone into the air, sprinted and threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around Lu Xiaobus neck, legs dangling off the ground, hugging him like a koala. She burrowed into Lu Xiaobus embrace like a cat, constantly searching for that bit of warmth. Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, somewhat more alert now. Hehe, the current posture isnt too bad. Probably a lot of people want to pose like this with little chili pepper, huh? Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At that time, a middle-aged woman who looked displeased, probably aggravated, passing by early in the morning on New Years Day appeared. Seeing the scene before her instantly upset her. Adhering to the principle of not letting others be pleased if shes not, she mumbled: "What is the world coming to these days! Do they really think nobody wakes up early? They start doing this on the street, and even if nobody sees, there are cameras, arent there? They have no manners at all, I dont know what their parents fed them!" The words, carried by the frosty wind, reached the little chili peppers ears. The little chili pepper, already on the edge because of family matters, would she indulge her? She exploded on the spot. Like a furiously bristling alley cat, she turned her head to glare at the middle-aged woman: "Did I eat your rice or noodles? Whats it to you? My husband and I like it this way in the street, what can you do about it?! Look all you want, take a good look and learn, and stop being so jealous when you have nothing better to do!" The middle-aged woman was instantly silenced, her face turning shades of green and white. She wanted to say something, but looking at the company Lu Xiaobu and she had, she didnt dare. In the end, she could only sulkily turn her head and walk away. Having picked up the little chili pepper, Lu Xiaobu walked back. He was so exhausted he couldnt even muster the interest for a basic physiological reaction. All he wanted now was to dive into his bed and sleep. On the plane. Zhou Jingyuan, this little chili pepper, had just boarded with Lu Xiaobu. Even though the airplanes space was plenty for a squabble, she insisted on maintaining their intimate posture, clinging onto Lu Xiaobu the entire time. Lu Xiaobu was also delighted with it, after all it was soft, big, and comfortable. Yes, top and bottom alike! After deplaning, taking the car, and until they entered the villa, the little chili pepper maintained that position. But the moment they entered the villa, she promptly let go of Lu Xiaobu, becoming the epitome of grace. You see, whys that? If not for Lu Hongbin and his folks being at home. Typical of an ugly daughter-in-law whos shy to meet her in-laws. ... The next day, New Years Day. It was supposed to be a time for New Years greetings, but Lu Xiaobu ended up sleeping until the afternoon before opening his eyes. Despite that, he still wanted to laze about in bed. After almost twenty hours without sleep, for someone suffering from terminal laziness, this was torture. "Xiaobu, lets go, lets go have some fun," said the little chili pepper as she slipped into Lu Xiaobus room, instantly transforming from a lady to a spicy girl, revealing her true nature! "Not going, youve been bothering me all night, what else do you want?" Lu Xiaobu lay on the bed, listlessly saying, "I just want to sleep now." "Sleep my ass, get up and party!" The little chili pepper, as if just released from prison. Suddenly she jumped onto Lu Xiaobus bed and started to flick off his covers. For someone whose laziness is deep into their bones, can you tolerate your blankets being yanked off? Well, Lu Xiaobu could. Because! He was stark naked. And so! Whoosh! The blanket was flung into the air. "Ah!" The little chili pepper screamed. Then he covered Little Bu with the blanket again. But, having teased Little Bu, did she really think Little Bu would let her go? With a countermove called "The Salted Fish Turns Over," Little Bu wrapped Hot Pepper up with the blanket. "Eyah." Hot Pepper cried out in surprise, struggling to poke her head out from under the blanket to breathe fresh air. "Hehe, thatll teach you to mess with me." Little Bu watched with a mischievous smirk as he pinned down Zhou Jingyuan, who was covered with the blanket. "What are you trying to do??" Zhou Jingyuans pretty face instantly turned beet red. It seemed she had gone a bit too far. "I sure do." The smile on Little Bus lips grew more wicked by the second. Feeling Little Bus breath so close, Hot Pepper felt her body go weak. Now... things had really gone too far. But within her heart, there lingered a hint of anticipation. It seemed like it was their only chance to be alone! So, she bit the bullet. In for a penny, in for a pound. Unexpectedly, Hot Pepper took the initiative. She grabbed Little Bus head and pressed her red lips to his. "Hmm?" Little Bu was taken aback at firstthis Hot Pepper really was fiery-tempered. Then, his amusement grew. As the saying goes, its impolite not to return a favor; you respect me an inch, Ill return it a foot! If a little girl wasnt scared, what was there for him to fear? And so, the two of them began to get into it. After a long time, when their lips parted, both pairs of eyes were filled with emotional turbulence. They were like two masters dueling at the peak of the Forbidden City. It was time to use their ultimate moves! However, perhaps due to the clash of these two great masters, a qualitative change occurred from the quantitative change. Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and divine punishment descended from the heavens. This divine punishment was truly formidable, causing both masters to cease fire instantly. The buildup of their great moves was halted to avoid a mutually destructive outcome. This divine punishment was... "Xiaobu, arent you up yet? Jingyuan came looking for you just now." Father Lu knocked on the door and said. In an instant, Little Bu and Hot Pepper were struck by the divine punishment, feeling utterly tender on the inside but scorched on the outside. Their fighting spirit was extinguished in a flash! "Up now." Little Bu sighed and replied, then rolled to the side and lay there on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He felt sure that some bastard was messing with him; it was always this same frustrating timing! Hot Pepper was like a child caught stealing sweets, burrowing her whole body under Little Bus blanket, not daring to show her face. "Oh, okay, get up soon. We didnt have a good New Years Eve feast last night; lets have a proper meal today." Father Lus voice came through again before he left. Little Bu looked down with another sigh, and continued to stare at the ceiling. He didnt want to get up! And at this moment. A hand stretched out from under the blanket. Caught! Moved! "Dont speak." Zhou Jingyuans shy voice emerged: "Consider it as compensation." Little Bus lips instantly curved into a smile. That wasnt so bad. Indeed, the grass is always greener on the other side. This fifth young lady, too, others are always better. Chapter 320 - 319: A Strong Sense of Dissonance [3rd Update, Bonus for 11,000 Rewards] Chapter 320: Chapter 319: A Strong Sense of Dissonance [3rd Update, Bonus for 11,000 Rewards]After tossing and turning for half an hour, Lu Xiaobu finally got out of bed. "I finally understand why all the boys have Qilin arms." Xiaobu peppered her words with her usual spiciness as she shook her sore arm. "Cut it out, Im not a Qilin arm, because Im an electric motor." Lu Xiaobu muttered, with a twist of the mouth. He left the room. After waiting for a bit. Everyone was ready and set out. Yes, they werent planning on dining at home today. Because Lus father said something about not being good to do anything that involves water or cutting on the first day of the New Year. There wasnt much to say about the meal, as long as everyone was happy, that was enough. ... On the second day of the New Year. Li Jin came back. Lu Xiaobu had given Zhang Meng and Li Jin half a day off, so the two brothers could go and have a good drink. ... On the third day of the New Year. Liang Lan came back. "Young Master, Uncle Lu, Big Brother Lu, Second Brother Lu, Im back." Liang Lan returned to the villa. She felt quite annoyed staying at home. Because her family kept trying to set her up on blind dates. Matchmakers were running to her house day after day. Saying things like, youre getting on in age, and if you wait any longer, youll turn into an old maid - the men they were introducing were some big bosses, marry them and you wouldnt need to work anymore, blah blah blah! If it were not for the New Year periods, she really would want to curse at them, just like Young Master Bu. What do you mean no one wants her? If she really wanted to get married, she could pick anyone across the Heavenly Dynasty! She didnt need them to introduce anyone. And did they misunderstand something? Do they really think those so-called good bosses and entrepreneurs dare to act pretentious in front of her? She worked for Xiaobu, but those people they were introducing, werent even fit to work for her! "Oh, Sister Lan is back?" Lu Xiaobus mouth curled up in a smile: "Come, let me check if youve grown any bigger?" At this moment, Liang Lan, despite wearing a down jacket, still couldnt hide her stunning figure, which made peoples hearts itch. Especially when she took off the down jacket, just wearing a white wool sweater underneath, the upright feel was even more prominent, as if about to burst forth! "Stop it, Young Master, you start teasing as soon as Im back." Liang Lan playfully scolded. It really was more comfortable here in this family. Father Lu and the others took turns to greet her warmly. Uncle Lu even took out a red envelope and handed it to Liang Lan: "Take it, its just a gesture, youre not lacking money anyway." He didnt just give it to Liang Lan, but to Zhang Meng, Li Jin, Xiaobu pepper, Wu Qianmin alike. Liang Lan initially didnt want it, but upon squeezing the envelope, she understood. Because it likely contained at most five hundred yuan. This really was just a token gesture. Even the random tips tossed out by Young Master Bu when he was bored didnt compare. So she stopped being pretentious: "Then, thank you, Uncle Lu." "Thats better." Father Lu was also very happy; its New Year after all, the point is to be cheerful. ... Soon, the time came to the seventh day of the New Year, when it was time to start work. At this point, the impact that Lu Xiaobu had made during the annual meeting finally erupted. The attendance rate in every company reached over ninety-eight percent. Only a small number of people were absent due to some truly unavoidable reasons! You must know that for some established companies, the post-New Year attendance rate generally only reaches about eighty percent, and this figure is usually tallied over two days, which means the seventh and eighth day of the New Year! However, all companies under the Lu Group had only been established for half a year, or even just a few months, yet their attendance rate reached 95% in just one day. What a terrifying figure! And after the old employees came back, 80% of them could immediately dive into work without any hint of the post-holiday sluggishness. Even the remaining 20% who were too lazy to do anything quickly adjusted their state in this atmosphere. Because, starting today. They will not only face competition among old colleagues. But also the competition from newly recruited employees and new talents, pouring in like snowflakes. A positive cycle has formed! This leads to. While other companies are still wondering how to adjust their employees states and how to motivate everyone to recover their spirit. Lu Groups Cola Company signed the first contract of the year, and it was a whopping 30 million order! Although, this was partly thanks to Lu Xiaobus appearance at the Spring Festival Gala, it was still a good start for the new year. "Young Master, would you like to take a look?" Liang Lan asked Lu Xiaobu for his opinion. This was a good start, after all, and if the Young Master could personally praise them, it would likely have an even bigger and better impact on the company. "Sure, Ive been eating every day, Ive gained weight. Its good to walk around." Lu Xiaobu stretched and said. Thats what the holidays are like, eat and eat, everyone gains a few pounds. "All right, Ill arrange it." Liang Lan nodded her head. ... Upon arriving at Cola Company, Lu Xiaobu personally met the employee who made the first sale and rewarded them with ten thousand yuan as a prize. This set the whole company abuzz. The already eager employees became even more fiercely motivated! "Damn, its such a pity, I was just one step behind! Otherwise, Young Master Bu would have rewarded me." "Envy, jealousy and hate! Not good enough, I need to hurry up and make a sale too!" "Get moving, get moving! Cola Company has already received praise from Young Master Bu, arent you guys jealous?" "Remember, work hard now, and maybe at this years annual meeting, you can sit on the Dragon Throne and hold a bunch of money!" "..." While they were striving, Lu Xiaobu, who had nothing else to do, wandered over to Cola Companys cafeteria. He wanted to see what his employees usually ate. Well, it was not out of any concern for his employees; he was just bored out of his mind! "Young Master Bu, hello!" "Young Master Bu!" "Young Master Bu, may you have thousands of autumns and dominion over Jianghu!" As Lu Xiaobu entered, the room buzzed with waves of eager greetings. "Young Master Bu actually cares about us so much, he even came to see our cafeteria." "Its wonderful, being able to work for Young Master Bu is the honor of my life!" "I will fight, work hard, cheer on!" "..." "Uh-huh, okay, okay." Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched. He realized that he couldnt do anything normal without it being deliberately magnified and interpreted by people. This was true from both a positive and negative perspective. He started to roam around the cafeteria because he had a feeling that something was always missing. What could it be? Why was this sense of disharmony so strong?! Walking around, his frown deepened. Seeing his furrowed brow, the employees around him didnt know what had happened. Especially the chefs in the cafeteria, they thought Lu Xiaobu was dissatisfied with their cooking, so they each tasted the food they prepared. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But, they couldnt find anything amiss. Finally! "Ha ha ha, I know now!" Lu Xiaobu slapped his thigh as he realized where the discomfort was coming from! Chapter 321 - 320 Drooling [1st Release, Please Subscribe] Chapter 321: Chapter 320 Drooling [1st Release, Please Subscribe]Do you know whats missing? Lao Ganma! Employees at the Cola Company are from all over, so their tastes are definitely diverse. However, Lu Xiaobu didnt see the chili sauce "Lao Ganma" thats popular all across Earth. What does this imply? This world surely doesnt have it! Ugh! I cant handle it, just thinking of that taste makes Lu Xiaobus salivary glands start secreting saliva. You ask what that means? Simply put, it means drooling. Thats how people are, they dont think about it when they dont have it, but once they remember, that feeling cant be suppressed. Besides, Lu Xiaobu has always been someone who does whatever he wants. If he wants to eat, then hell just make it. "System." Lu Xiaobu called out to the system. sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hold on, hold on, one minute, let me finish these Chapters of the novel." The system said to Lu Xiaobu. "Hurry up." Lu Xiaobu is not a patient man. "Alright, alright, whats the rush? What happened?" the system hurriedly regained focus. "I want to eat Lao Ganma Chili Sauce, get me the Lao Ganma secret recipe." Lu Xiaobu stated directly. "Okay, you wait, Ill go right now." The system nodded. After all, its just a system, so it has almost zero interest in food. Since Lu Xiaobu wants it, just give it to him. So, very quickly. Lao Ganmas secret recipe was in Lu Xiaobus hands. "Hahaha." Lu Xiaobu looked at the secret recipe in his hands and laughed out loud. Finally, he could savour Lao Ganma; he was about to drool. "Sister Lan, come, Im about to blow some cash." Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan. Hearing his words, the employees in the cafeteria twitched at the corners of their mouths. Well, Young Master Bu, can we not talk so directly?! We are still listening! However, while they were speechless, Liang Lans eyes lit up. Splurge? The Young Master is about to set off the first salvo of the New Year! So, she immediately halted the ongoing meeting and rushed to the cafeteria non-stop! "Young Master, Im here." Liang Lan unwrapped a cola and handed it over to Lu Xiaobu with a straw. Then she took out a rag and thoroughly wiped the already clean table and stools by the side, inviting Lu Xiaobu to sit down. She knew very well that Young Master Bu often acted impulsively, without ever resorting to going to meeting rooms and so forth. So, lets talk here. "Hmm." Lu Xiaobu nodded his head, took the cola, and sat down. The surrounding employees were all in awe. "My god, the domineering CEO Liang Lan is actually serving Young Master Bu like this." "I had heard about it before, but I didnt expect it to be true." "But its true, only Young Master Bu can tame Tian Jilan." "Keep your voices down, dont want to mess up, this is our Young Master Bu and Director Lan!" "Its fine, Young Master Bu wont mind, after all, its mealtime now!" "Thats right, what a great person our Young Master Bu is!" "But, they are discussing work here? Is that appropriate?" "..." Though they said it was fine, they still actively took their meals and moved away from the nearby places, keeping their distance. Its not about whether they are scared or not, its a matter of respect! A respect for their big bossLu Xiaobu! Of course, they were also frightened! Ahem, its human nature! "Sister Lan, take this, make it as soon as possible, I want to eat." Lu Xiaobu handed the secret recipe to Liang Lan. He didnt worry at all about the recipe getting leaked in such a place. Dont forget, the technology recipes provided by the system can be taken back. So, he is not afraid! "Alright, Young Master." Liang Lan pulled out a tissue to wipe her fair and smooth hands, then opened the paper with excitement. Having seen so many bizarre things here at Young Masters place, this kind of thing appearing out of nowhere was no longer surprising! She was only excited. What is the Young Master up to this time? Is it an engine? Is it aerospace? Or some other high-tech thing? And then! She saw the first line of text! The method for making Lao Ganma Chili Sauce is as follows. Liang Lan was baffled: "Huh? Chili sauce?" This was completely different from what she had expected! "Yes, its chili sauce. Lets make some and have everyone try it. Hmm, consider it a staff welfare." Lu Xiaobu said somewhat anxiously. Dont know if you have this feeling, but people who like spicy food salivate at the sight of chili. Right now, Lu Xiaobu was feeling exactly that, the more he couldnt have it, the more he wanted it. If he had no ability, then so be it. But if he had the ability, why wouldnt he do it? "Alright then." Liang Lan felt helpless. Although she was used to it, she still felt a bit helpless due to Young Master Bus utterly whimsical thinking. She really couldnt understand why Young Master Bu would think of making chili sauce? After all, in his daily diet, Young Master Bu hardly ever encountered chili sauce. But, confusion aside, helplessness aside. What needed to be done had to be done. Liang Lan took the stuff and left. She needed to go buy a factory, establish a company, recruit people, try making it, and so on. But of course, the first thing was to find some people, make some by hand, and send it over to Young Master Bu. At this moment, the employees felt relieved seeing Liang Lan leave. Honestly speaking, even though Young Master Bu was higher in position than Liang Lan, they were more afraid of the decisive Tian Jilan. They were now a bit curious, not knowing what Young Master Bu and the others had discussed earlier. Seeing the curious glances of these people, Lu Xiaobu laughed: "Do you want to know what I was just talking about?" "No, no, no." The employees shook their heads insincerely. Its not that they didnt want to know, they were afraid to think about it. Such confidential things, knowing them would bring disadvantages without benefits! "Its nothing, what are you scared of! Am I the kind of boss who doesnt communicate with everyone?" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said indifferently. "Can you really say it?" A bold employee asked. "Really, theres nothing much! Its just chili sauce, lets make some, and everyone can try it." Lu Xiaobu just blurted it out. "Chili sauce?" When the employees heard it, they realized it was not some secretive matter, and they all relaxed. In their view, some chili sauce was nothing special. After all, all the chili sauces in the world look the same. Buy one bottle and eat it for a year. "Young Master Bu, did you buy the recipe?" That bold employee continued to ask. "Nope, I thought of it myself." Lu Xiaobu shamelessly admitted. What can he do, he couldnt mention the system. "Uh..." Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the employees were rendered speechless. You thought of it yourself? Young Master Bu, dont blame us for being frank. You probably havent even eaten chili sauce, yet you came up with a recipe. Chili sauce is not as simple as just chopping up some chili. "What? You dont believe me?" Hey, Lu Xiaobus little temper. Just wait, you guys will be eating your words. Chapter 322 - 321 Uncomfortable and Want to Cry [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 322: Chapter 321 Uncomfortable and Want to Cry [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus question, how could these people dare to tell the truth. So they shook their heads one after another: "We believe, we believe, the hot pepper sauce made by Young Master Bu must be delicious." "Scram, dont give me that. With such flattery, I wouldnt even give you fifty cents." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said, "This afternoon your company is not working anymore, youre all on a paid leave, each and every one of you will try my hot pepper sauce later." Well, his company, he calls the shots. Behave as you wish, caught! Hearing this, the employees immediately burst into laughter. Such a good thing? Just for tasting some hot pepper sauce you get half a day off? Of course, they agreed. "Alright, alright." "Young Master Bus hot pepper sauce is definitely delicious, um, definitely." "..." "I said, dont flatter me, starting now, theres no reward for telling the truth, but there will be a punishment for lying," said Lu Xiaobu as he rolled his eyes. "Uh..." One by one, the employees twitched the corners of their mouths. Young Master Bu, can we stop fooling around? You actually want to hear something unpleasant? "You first, do you believe my hot pepper sauce is delicious?" Lu Xiaobu addressed the person who had just spoken out boldly. "I believe, I believe." The employee nodded desperately, making an extremely sincere expression. "A fine of one hundred." Lu Xiaobu nodded and raised his eyebrows, "Ill add to your hundred. Ill get everyone a round of ten skewers each, and we can chat while we eat." "Pfft!" The employee almost spat out blood. A real fine! Also, is that what you call adding a little? Do we have a misunderstanding about what adding a little means? Although there arent many people here, ten skewers each would cost tens of thousands! You fine me a hundred, then you spend tens of thousands?! The other employees didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Young Master Bu really knows how to play, imposing fines like this?! Arent you afraid well tell one lie each and eat you into bankruptcy?! Of course, they were all joking. Not to mention that they wouldnt do that to Young Master Bu, whom they respected. Even if they did, they couldnt eat him into bankruptcy even if they stuffed themselves to death! However, the distance between Lu Xiaobu and them had indeed suddenly become a lot closer. Since Young Master Bu wants to hear the truth, then lets tell the truth. sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Xiaobu, do you really want to hear the truth?" Another employee asked. "Of course," said Lu Xiaobu as he rolled his eyes. Once you reach a certain position, there are fewer and fewer people who tell you the truth. Thats also why, aside from the incompetent emperors, almost all ancient emperors tried various ways to encourage free speech! "Well then, Ill be bold. Actually, Xiaobu... I mean, our companys hot pepper sauce, Im not too confident in it." That person spoke up as if they were a warrior, neck craned, They were bracing for the guillotine that could fall at any moment! After waiting a few seconds and realizing that Young Master Bu hadnt said anything and continued to smile, He finally let down his guard. Young Master Bu didnt deceive them. Seeing that he was okay, the others also loosened up. "Young Master Bu, why did you suddenly think of making hot pepper sauce?" "Do you want to eat some peppers? Im from Sichuan and Chongqing, if you want some, shall I get you some?" "Forget it, Ive eaten your peppers before, I didnt dare to use the toilet the next day! And you actually want Young Master Bu to eat them?" "Hey hey, just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. I just wanted to show some respect to Young Master Bu!" "..." Lu Xiaobu pursed his lips: "See, I told you dont believe! You wouldnt tell the truth just before. Fine, when the hot pepper sauce arrives later, youll have to eat until your tongues fall off." The employees immediately pursed their lips. "Young Master Bu, dont joke with us." "Yeah, listen to you, saying the hot pepper sauce will eat our tongues away, thats not even real food, how could it take away our tongues?" "I dont believe it either, its just a seasoning. I bought a bottle of Mao Yuans last year, and I still have half a bottle left!" "Actually, its not all that bad, as long as it doesnt end up inedible like that one from Sichuan-Shu." "..." These guys really are bold, their words brimming with disbelief. Of course, its not just a matter of being gutsy. Theres also a desire to show off in front of Young Master Bu, getting recognized by him might bring many benefits. "Not believing it? Heh, with my fiery temper, if any of you doesnt enjoy the meal later, Ill double your salary for the month." Lu Xiaobu said half-jokingly and half-seriously. Not enjoyable? Youve got to be joking! Thats Lao Ganma were talking aboutthe same thats sold overseas, even winning over foreigners palates. Its biggest feature is its universal appeal to both the young and old. There are even quite a few people who skip the staple food and just eat Lao Ganma! Such chili sauce, and still not winning over your taste buds? Since the employees werent working, the leaders of Cola Company simply all came over to chat. After all, what kind of leader would you be without employees? Who would you lead? ... Chatting away in the cafeteria beside the dining area, the afternoon quickly flew by. Just before dinner time, Liang Lan finally brought over the first batch of the newly made chili sauce. At this moment, Liang Lan had a peculiar expression. There was shock, acceptance as if it were normal, and disbelief. The funniest part was the hint of discomfort! Do you know why it was uncomfortable? Because Young Master Bu wanted it urgently. Liang Lan did not follow the secret recipe to the letter. After all, its not possible to deal with fermented soybeans in a single day, so she used a variety of fermented soybeans that had a good taste to make it. But even the chili sauce made this way completely conquered Liang Lans taste buds. You should know she hardly eats spicy food. After all, eating too much spicy food can easily cause acne outbreaks. But! The moment that little bit of chili sauce entered her mouth... She was thoroughly won over! And then... She involuntarily scooped up another spoonful, paired it with the staple food, and ate a big bite. Now you know why she was uncomfortable. Because she wanted to eat more, but didnt dare! Uncomfortably craving, wanting to cry! Arriving at the cafeteria. The unique aroma of Lao Ganma instantly filled the entire cafeteria. The employees who had been full of disbelief all involuntarily gulped down their saliva. This flavor... Sss, its delicious! Lu Xiaobu had no time to attend to them; he quickly took the spoon from Liang Lan and stuffed a spoonful into his mouth. Smack smack. It seemed to taste a little different from his memory. But it was good enough to satisfy the craving. Good, not bad. "Reward, five thousand." Lu Xiaobu said while eating. "Thank you, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded, not saying much. This kind of tipping was normal by now, sometimes several times a day. Like when she brought a cup of tea, or poured some water. Whenever Young Master Bu felt like it, he would give a tip like this. She tallied up last month, just the five-thousand tips alone added up to over half a million. And at this moment, the chili sauce was also distributed to everyone in the cafeteria who was present. Lu Xiaobu waved his hand at everyone: "Eat up, remember what I said, if it isnt satisfying, I lose, and youll get double the salary for this month." Little rascals, as if I cant handle you?! Now submit obediently and succumb to it!

The employees finally reached for the spoon to try the chili sauce. First, they took a bite. Tasted it. And then. They couldnt stop! The disbelief on their faces had completely turned into utter delight! They were convinced, truly convinced! Young Master Bu is indeed Young Master Bu, even making chili sauce this delicious! "Wow, this is so tasty!" "I usually dont eat chili, but this one, I could eat a whole bowl." "Oh my goodness! No wonder Young Master Bu said it would blow our minds away!" "This is insanely good! The flavor is just perfect!" "Young Master Bu is awesome!" "..." "You little rascals, should have believed." Xiaobu himself was also enjoying it, after all, he wanted to eat it himself. "Come on, lets all eat together!" Xiaobu called Zhang Meng and a few others to join in eating. Zhang Meng and Li Jin willingly joined, sitting down and quickly devoured two bowls of rice! Liang Lan, on the other hand, stood on the side with a conflicted face. She wanted to eat but was afraid to. It was truly a dilemma. Wu Qianmin, Su Luoxue, and Little Chili had also tried it just now. Thus, now they, like Liang Lan, also looked quite perplexed. Oh, the agony! The employees at the Cola Companys cafeteria eating werent enough. Somehow, someone started taking photos to show off. Not to outsiders, but to the other companies within Lu Group. "Hey, you guys havent tried this! Let me tell you, its incredibly delicious!" "Plus, Young Master Bu is right here." "We even got a half-day off!" "This is Young Master Bus new product, were the first to try it." "..." Suddenly other companies, like Creation Chinese Website, Jueying Company etcetera. Blew up. "Frigging hell! This is pure bragging!" "Jerks! Well kill you!" "Come on, if you dare, come here, I guarantee we wont kill you!" "Hey Jueying, lets have our Sincere IT come up with a plan to cooperate with you, how about we hack those jerks at the Cola Companys phones?" "No objections, no objections, we provide the channels, you take action!" "These jerks are so infuriating." "..." Not just among the employees, even the CEO of Cola Company was bragging to other company CEOs. "Hehe, you guys cant taste this, let me tell you, its really delicious!" Such blatant flaunting, could the remaining six CEOs just swallow it? So they made a swift decision. "Lets go, lets go, no work today, what work? Lets go eat chili sauce!" "Yeah, you jerks, really thought we couldnt handle it?" "All on vacation, lets storm Cola Company!" "..." They were not just talking. They actually gave their employees the day off. After all, Young Master Bu had mentioned flexible working. When the employees of the other companies heard this, they burst out laughing. "Cola Companys jerks, we are coming!" "Just get yourselves ready!" "Showing off, keep showing off! Well eat you broke!" "Long live the boss, long live Young Master Bu!" "..." Besides these remarks, there was actually another type of comment. "Is it true, chili sauce that good?" "Hey, who cares if its true or not, seeing that this is Young Master Bus creation, anything by Young Master Bu is delicious even if it isnt!" "Thats also true, lets just take it as a fun outing!" "Lets go." "..." Suddenly, all employees who werent out on business trips or too far away, under the lead of their respective CEOs, streamed towards the Cola Company in great numbers! My, oh my! Tens of thousands of people swaggering down the streets. It looked just like they were going to start a fight! Pedestrians were scared stiff, running away while clutching their heads. "Whats going on?" "Are they going to fight?" "Probably not, they all look like office workers!" "I see clearly now, theyre from Lu Group." "Shh, then it probably is a fight. Better keep our distance, you dont want to get blood on you!" "Huh? Why does hearing Lu Group suddenly mean a fight?" "Hey, you must be from out of town! You dont know? Anything can happen at Lu Group. With a capricious person like Lu Xiaobu there, his employees are even crazier!" "I dont believe it, its a corporate group after all!" "Dont believe it? Heh, wait until you see their employees tormenting you for three days and nights just to get a deal signed, without giving you any reason to complain, then youll believe!" "..." Pedestrians definitely wouldnt have guessed that the cause for mobilizing the whole Lu Group was actually hot sauce. When they arrived at Cola Company. "Young Master Bu, greetings! Young Master Bu, may you reign over Jianghu for thousands of autumns!" The slogan of tens of thousands echoed through the Cola Company. "Alright, alright, lets get this straight! Theres not much stuff, just manage it amongst yourselves, just dont fight over mine." Lu Xiaobu said, waving his hand. He not only didnt blame these voluntarily-off CEOs, but actually approved! This was a must for the company to stay dynamic! What? You say he just wanted to watch the excitement. Okay, you are right! Employees from other companies burst into laughter. They knew Young Master Bu would definitely not blame them! Such a humane company only exists here, no franchise! The CEO of the Cola Company saw this. Lets stir it up! Anyway, theres a space next to the company, and its spacious enough! Yes, lately, several CEOs have been trying to learn Young Master Bus leap-in-logic thinking, hoping to keep up with his pace. "Run, run, grab the hot sauce and run, you absolutely cant let these bastards have it!" The CEO of Cola Company took the lead, scooping up the hot sauce and running. Seeing this, the employees of Cola Company thought, if the boss has let loose, why should they hold back? Immediately, they were each hoisting hot sauce and running like the wind! The boss was right, no way, they cant let these jerks have it. Otherwise, how could there be enough to share? "Brothers, hurry up! Hide it! Dont let them find out!" "Hurry, run!" "Right, stay safe!" "..." Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The employees of Cola Company ran off, and naturally, the others started chasing! Six gourds, oh no, six CEOs began giving orders. "Brothers, chase them! Ultimate IT go left, Jueying go right, surround them!" "Creation Chinese Website people, immediately take the high ground! Command from above!" "Brain Black Gold, unleash your dumb ads and scare them to death!" "Juechen Live Company, go to the back door and encircle from behind, watch out if they run out!" "..." The employees laughed heartily. "Hahaha, where are you running to, call hot sauce spared!" "Youre already surrounded! Surrender!" "Take this, the programmers fury!" "The unicorn arm of single dogs!" "..." Watching these silly folks making chaos, Lu Xiaobu laughed until he was doubled over: "A bunch of goofballs! Hahaha, I love it!" Liang Lan and the others could only laugh and cry. Really, like commander, like troop! It was still okay last year, but since after the annual meeting, the silly attribute inside the company has intensified even more! Chapter 324 - 323: Driven Out? [4th update, 8000 votes for extra] Chapter 324: Chapter 323: Driven Out? [4th update, 8000 votes for extra]The entire Cola Company was boiling with excitement, all sorts of commotion. But all said, all fought, everyone still had their limits. So soon, the people of the Cola Company were surrounded. They obediently handed over the chili sauce, sharing it with everyone. Now, these people finally understood why the people of Cola Company went to show off to them. Its damn delicious! "Wow! This is really tasty!" "So you guys have been hoarding such good stuff!" "Ah, I cant take it! So despicable!" "Im conquered! Completely conquered!" "Awesome!" "..." But because there were too many people and too little chili sauce. So each person only got to taste a little bit. The feeling was unbearably frustrating! Its more painful than readers pulling down their pants, only for the author to leave them hanging! The taste lingered in the mouth, but they just couldnt get more. "So sad!" "Who has more, share some with me!" "Im a girl! Cant you share some with me?" "Youre not my sister!" "Ah, youre definitely very inept at being single!" "..." But what can you do if you cant eat more? Anyway, it was all gone, and mass production still required some waiting. Unless they had the audacity to rob Lu Xiaobus supply. Ah, theyre not ready to die just yet! Since everyone was there, Lu Xiaobu simply took the opportunity, and hosted a dinner at Cola Company. Everyone had a lively meal. The companys cohesion was boosted again. However, these kinds of questions were unavoidable. "Young Master Bu, when can we mass produce our chili sauce?" "Yeah! I cant wait, Im so sad!" "Quickly start mass production! I want to buy!" "..." Oh, also worth mentioning is that today two people accidentally became a couple. One from Sincere IT, the other from Cola Company. People interviewed the Cola Company guy, asking why he was so lucky? The Cola guy said: "No, the moment she grabbed my collar, my strong desire to survive instantly made me kneel on one knee and propose with the chili sauce! I really didnt expect it to work!" IT girl: "What did you say?" Cola guy: "Cough cough cough, I said I love you!" "Sss!" The people around were fed up with this wave of sweetness! This actually worked! Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily: "Your household status is determined in this moment!" ... After all the commotion, everyone went home, back to their own mothers. Everyone began working hard again, waiting for the moment the chili sauce could be mass-produced. The feeling, again, was unbearably frustrating! Lu Xiaobu took the chili sauce home, letting his father try it! It also received rave reviews! Even Lus father, the old chef, couldnt stop praising: "Good, very good, suitable for all ages, the flavor is just right, though that bean paste seems a little out of place." Truly an old driver, no, an old chef, his taste is extraordinary! sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes, Uncle Lu, Young Master was in a hurry, so I temporarily used someone elses bean paste, but our own bean paste has already started production," Liang Lan explained. "Oh, I see!" Father Lu nodded, his face displaying a hint of pride! As a father, he was happy to show off in front of his sons! Xiaobu is definitely going to waste more money! ... A few days later, Liang Lan finally notified Lu Xiaobu that the chili sauce, truly in accordance with the secret recipe, could start mass production tomorrow. Lu Xiaobu expressed his anticipation. ... Meanwhile. Thanks to flexible work, Gan Jun, an employee of Zhicheng IT who finished work early and went home, was feeling somewhat bored. Without a girlfriend, he was only interested in food. Ever since he tasted the chili sauce given by Young Master Bu last time, he couldnt stop thinking about that flavor. But after waiting for several days, the mass production hadnt started yet, so he became a bit anxious! To make up for this feeling, he headed to the seasoning exhibition that had just started yesterday. This exhibition gathered eighty percent of the countrys seasonings. After entering, Gan Jun began tasting from booth to booth. First booth. "Sigh." Second booth. "Tsk." Third booth. "Sss, so spicy!" Fourth booth. "Eh... no comment." ... Forty-fifth booth. "Alas, why cant I find it?" There werent many people at the seasoning exhibition, so his distinctive behavior of sighing at every booth quickly drew attention! "This sir, what do you do?" Mao Yuan Companys representativeXue Lei, with a frown asked, "Are you dissatisfied with our chili sauce?" Mao Yuan Companys chili sauce is currently the most popular on the market. They occupy thirty percent of the market share, truly impressive! So, he felt uncomfortable seeing Gan Juns behavior. "Its not dissatisfaction, Im just looking for an alternative to the chili sauce." Gan Jun is a programmer, straightforward by nature, hence speaks his mind. "Looking for an alternative?" The short-tempered Xue Leis brow furrowed even more. Thats like a slap in their face! After all, almost every available chili sauce could be found here, yet this guy is talking about finding an alternative! Youre not looking for an alternative, youre looking for trouble! Therefore, his tone became unfriendly: "If you cant find one, please leave, youre not welcome here." Gan Jun was utterly confused, what did he say wrong!? Why was he being kicked out?! "No, Im just telling the truth!" explained Gan Jun. "You dare say more? Security, theres someone causing trouble here." Xue Lei immediately shouted. I will deal with you. Security came. They inquired about what had happened. The seasoning companies that Gan Jun had sighed at, all chose to support Mao Yuan. Then! He was kindly asked to leave! From start to finish, Gan Jun was dumbfounded, what did he do? Not only was he kicked out, Xue Lei even mocked him coldly: "From your attitude, the chili sauce youre looking for must not be any decent stuff, be careful not to poison yourself!" Trouble is eternal among competitors, not only in the comedy industry! ... The next day, when the chili sauce was officially scheduled to start mass production. Gan Jun immediately shared his experiences from yesterday. "Damn, who is that arrogant?" "Dare to mess with people from Lu Group?" "Doesnt want to mix in the industry anymore huh! Dared to call Young Master Bus chili sauce trash!?" "Come on, lets all go, I want to see if they dare not let us in!" "..." The companys internal network was in an uproar! They didnt care about this company or that company, they were all Young Master Bus people! The issue turned into a huge commotion. Eventually, it alarmed Lu Xiaobu. "Hey, really! So arrogant!" Lu Xiaobu was quick-tempered, would he tolerate them? His people, he could order around as he pleased, but when did it become someone elses right to expel his people?! His Lao Ganma Chili Sauce is trash?! Today, lets give them a beating! Chapter 325 - 324: San Mao [5th Update, 9000 votes for additional release] Chapter 325: Chapter 324: San Mao [5th Update, 9000 votes for additional release]Lu Xiaobu carried the just-produced Lao Ganma Chili Sauce, still without a label, and made his way to the exhibition. "Young Master Bu, what is this?" Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus arrival, the exhibition organizer scrambled to come out. "Exhibiting, of course! What, I cant enter?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Exhibit? But, our quota is full, and all the booths are taken! Theres just no time!" The organizer didnt ask about the reasons or the products; he got straight to the point. "Not even one spot?" Lu Xiaobu frowned. "Really none, how about this, give us your companys information, and then come back tomorrow. Well work overnight to prepare everything so that first thing in the morning itll be ready for you, how about that?" The organizer thought it over and offered a solution. He didnt dare, nor could he afford to provoke Lu Xiaobu. This was the best plan he could offer. "Company information? And wait until tomorrow?" Lu Xiaobu was getting impatient! Kicked out my people, and insulted my chili sauce. If I didnt know yesterday, fine, but still hold back today? Is he still Lu Xiaobu?! Didnt they see he couldnt even be bothered to wait to label the chili sauce? And now wait until tomorrow?! "Young Master Bu, I hope you can understand our difficulties, we really have no other way." The organizer was sweating profusely. He was scared! "Unload the goods, just set up a stall right at the entrance, and have an exhibit!" Lu Xiaobu promptly ordered. Wont let us in, huh? Then well just set up shop at the entrance! "Young Master Bu, you are..." The organizer was sweating even more now. Young Master Bu, as always, isnt following the usual playbook. "What, I cant do it at the entrance either?!" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows: "Im already being considerate of you." "No, no, no, others cant, but you can! Definitely can!" The organizer was immediately frightened, nodding his head and even helping to unload the goods. Xue Lei, the person in charge of Mao Yuan Company, heard the commotion at the entrance and came out. "Whats going on? Organizer, whats happening?" He hadnt seen Lu Xiaobu, so when he saw the scene, he immediately lost his temper. Whats going on these days? First, yesterday came a guy out of nowhere, and now theres someone setting up a stand to sell chili sauce at the entrance. What are they thinking?! "Its you, isnt it?!" Lu Xiaobus voice came over: "It was you who had your people drive away my staff and called my chili sauce trash?!" "Who the hell are you? So arrogant!" Xue Lei, always quick-tempered, blurted out before turning his head. And then! "Ah?! Young Master Bu?!" Xue Lei immediately started sweating buckets. Did he just insult Lu Xiaobu? "Good, very good! I just love your arrogant attitude." Lu Xiaobu sneered coldly. "No, it wasnt!" Xue Lei suddenly panicked. This Lu Xiaobu was notoriously domineering; if he were to beat him up, thered be nowhere to reason for justice. "Dont worry; I wont hit you, just your face." Lu Xiaobu pointed to the Lao Ganma Chili Sauce: "With your so-called trash chili sauce, Ill slap your face!" "No need to hit, no need to hit! Young Master Bus products are definitely the best in the world!" Xue Lei said with utmost insincerity. No beating, thats good. As for the chili sauce? Heh, their Mao Yuan holding thirty percent of the market share, who would they fear? The organizers face collapsed! Damn! Xue Lei, have you lost your mind?! Do you not realize that the expression on your face is even more provocative than a direct challenge?! "Good, very good!" Lu Xiaobu was amused. "Then, Young Master Bu, please enjoy your exhibition at your leisure, I think Id like to go back now," Xue Lei continued to placate: "You said you wouldnt hit me." He looked at Lu Xiaobus chili sauce that didnt even have a brand name and curled his lip. He really didnt believe that this chili sauce, which seemed no different from something made in a private small workshop, could outdo their Mao Yuan! Although Lu Xiaobu is awesome and miraculous. But in the realm of chili sauce, its not arrogance, Lu Xiaobu really doesnt cut it! After all, chili sauce is something eaten by ordinary people. Could a Lu Xiaobu, who doesnt even understand the taste preferences of the average person, make good chili sauce?! Of course, if they used abalones and ginseng or anything like that and if they made that kind of exorbitantly priced chili sauce, then hed take back his words! In any case, he just looked down on Lu Xiaobus chili sauce! What? You say hes bold? Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Sorry, but he was born audacious! Moreover, hes not relying on Lu Xiaobu to get rich, in fact, if Lu Xiaobu enters the condiment industry, it would cut into his own profits! In such a situation, why shouldnt he be hostile towards Lu Xiaobu. Its not just him, look at the people at the exhibition. Does anyone come out to grovel before Lu Xiaobu? Competitors are natural enemies, all hoping for the others demise! Today, why cant he look forward to Lu Xiaobus demise? "Mao Yuan, huh. Just wait!" Lu Xiaobu was again amused. Its been a long time since hes come across someone with such a personality! If he doesnt slap your face hard enough to make you cry, then hes not Lu Xiaobu! ... Thats how it was. A strange scene appeared at the condiment exhibition. A chili sauce with no brand name was on display at the entrance of the exhibition. This aroused the curiosity of many people. Before long, a large crowd had gathered. "Let me introduce myself," Lu Xiaobu said as he picked up the microphone Liang Lan had bought. "Young Master Bu, stop joking around, who doesnt know you here!" The onlookers burst into laughter. Young Master Bu, still introducing yourself? Are you kidding? "Okay, then I wont introduce myself. Let me introduce my chili sauce, um, this is the new chili sauce Ive just made. You can all taste it! Im here to showcase my chili sauce!" Lu Xiaobu continued. "Uh..." The onlookers were instantly bewildered. Wait, Young Master Bu, are you seriously selling chili sauce? Youre a billionaire selling chili sauce, why does it feel so awkward? This feels as overkill as using a forty-meter sword to swat a mosquito! Isnt this boredom! "Young Master Bu, did you use abalone or lobster to make it?" "Yeah, if its something that expensive, we might as well not even look. We cant afford it anyway." "You probably cant understand the level of life of those of us who eat chili sauce." "..." "Hey, what does eating chili sauce have to do with the standard of living?" Lu Xiaobu was speechless! But upon second thought, he understood that maybe it was just another difference between this world and Earth! Indeed, a group of people who have never even eaten Lao Ganma wouldnt be able to imagine how a chili sauce could become globally popular. "Look, I guarantee with my three words, Lu Xiaobu, that this chili sauce, at this quantity, will only be sold for five yuan within China from now on. If its a dime more, come find me! And I guarantee its delicious!" Lu Xiaobu assured everyone by patting his chest. "Uh..." Hearing this, Liang Lans lips twitched. Um, Young Master Bu! Could you please inquire about the cost before you speak? If we sell it for five yuan, our profit is only thirty cents! Even if we scale up production in the future, the profit wont exceed fifty cents! But, well, reminding a young master so keen on squandering is useless! Thirty cents it is. Lets aim for volume! The onlookers, upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, changed their attitude. They still believed in Lu Xiaobus word. And so, the era of Lao Ganma sweeping the globe, began at this very instant! Chapter 326 - 325: Drinking Foreign Urine 【1st Update, Seeking Subscriptions】 Chapter 326: Chapter 325: Drinking Foreign Urine 1st Update, Seeking SubscriptionsHow influential are the three words "Lu Xiaobu" really? To put it bluntly, these three words can easily secure a loan of a hundred million in a bank. Yet now, Lu Xiaobu is using his name to vouch for the chili sauce in front of him. Naturally, people believed without a doubt. "Since Young Master Bu said so, alright, Ill give it a try." "Yeah, the price isnt expensive, and if it tastes good, Im indeed interested in buying some." "After all, this is chili sauce personally sold by Young Master Bu!" "Come on, everyone line up." "..." However, there are always surprises. Just as everyone was preparing to line up. "What is this? Just because of one persons guarantee, you dare to buy such a no-standard product?! Theres not even a logo, who knows what else might be inside?! In Japan, these kinds of products are strictly not allowed to be sold!" And at this time, a pseudo-foreigner who just returned from studying in Japan, holding a resume in his hand, perhaps feeling arrogant after drinking foreign water for two years, stood there and began to critique. This type of person is the typical "the moon is rounder abroad" kind! To sum it up in one worddeserving of a slap! "Think Im nobody?!" Lu Xiaobu sneered: "Ill show you who I am. Look, your resume is for a job application! I, Lu Xiaobu, declare here today, throughout Shimen, whoever dares to hire you as an employee, it will be a do-or-die with me, Lu Xiaobu!" "Listen to this boasting, it seems I was right, your unlicensed product really has a problem." The pseudo-foreigner sneered repeatedly. That kind of superior attitude from drinking foreign water was fully displayed. Disgusting. Those queuing people, each glancing sideways at this pseudo-foreigner. "Drinking foreign water makes you so great!? Putting on airs." "Mocking Lu Xiaobu, you must have eaten a bear and leopards gall!" "Where do you get such a strong self-perception?!" "Foreign countries are better than here, why come back to the country? The motherland doesnt need an unfilial person like you!" "..." Listening to the passers-bys accusations, the pseudo-foreigner laughed instead of getting angry: "Indeed, the quality of the national people is getting worse! A boastful one plus a bunch of self-imposed poor folks!" Just then. He received a notification from the company he was about to interview with. "Sorry, you do not meet our conditions, please look elsewhere." "Ah? What happened?" The pseudo-foreigner suddenly panicked. This was his most favored company. sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But why would a company that was very satisfied with him suddenly reject him? "Its nothing, just that our temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha." The interview company responded and then blocked him. The pseudo-foreigner was completely dumbfounded. Could it really be just because of what that Lu Xiaobu said?! He couldnt believe it, absolutely couldnt. "There will always be a place for me elsewhere, many companies are very interested in me." The pseudo-foreigner got angry! His resume was very impressive, of course, many companies were interested in him. However, he rejected them all! Because that pride from drinking foreign water wouldnt allow him to settle for those lesser companies! Now, his favored company was gone, so he had to settle for less! He sent his credentials to those companies that had shown a lot of interest in him before. However! Within just a few minutes, he received numerous rejection messages from various companies. This drove him completely mad! Why?! He really didnt understand why! Those companies were really interested in him before! Could it really be just because of that mans one sentence?! These people actually all dared not hire him!? Finally, one business told him the truth: "Enough, stop dreaming and quickly pack your things and move to Japan! Dont even mention Shimen, the whole business world knows now that you have offended Lu Xiaobu. I guess no one dare to hire you now, after all, offending Lu Xiaobu for a nobody like you, that would be insane!" "F*ck, you actually dare to play dirty on me? You..." The pseudo-foreigner became even more furious. That feeling of being high and mighty and then getting slapped into the abyss made him burst into a furious rage! "Zhang Meng." Lu Xiaobu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and waved his hand. Zhang Meng leaped forward in one step and landed a kick. He kicked the shameless pseudo-foreigner right into the middle of the road! "How dare you hit someone?! Who do you think you are?! And you people, didnt you see this guy getting pissed off by what I said? Hes absolutely lying to you, he is a fraudster! Are you guys stupid?!" The pseudo-foreigners face was filled with anger and pain: "Its really way worse than in Japan!" Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaobu didnt even let Zhang Meng take action, he went up himself and kicked that foul mouth. The pseudo-foreigners teeth were knocked out by Lu Xiaobus kick, his mouth full of blood. But this kid obviously deserved more beating, as he shouted: "You dare to hit me, I will not bow down, I am a man who has embraced the spirit of Samurai Path from Japan, I will fight against you to the end!" "Then go die." Lu Xiaobu landed another kick. "Bang!" The pseudo-foreigner finally stopped talking, because he had passed out. "By the way, there was a diamond on my shoe just now, its gone. Let the police uncles help investigate, I feel like this traitor stole it," Lu Xiaobu continued. The bystanders immediately burst into cheers. "Great! Its always Young Master Bu!" "This kind of person really deserves it!" "That kick felt awesome! I feel like I dont need to taste the hot sauce, lets just buy it." "Exactly, exactly! Support Young Master Bu!" "..." Lu Xiaobu walked back to his stall and continued selling hot sauce. After this little incident, Lu Xiaobus hot sauce business finally got back on track! Those who had tried it immediately showed ecstatic and addictive expressions. "My God, its so delicious!" "This is hot sauce, a seasoning! I cant believe how much Im enjoying eating it!?" "Today I learned what hot sauce really is, what the hell was I eating before?!" "Young Master Bu, please give me two bottles!" "I want some too!" "..." Those who had eaten were intoxicated, those who hadnt were baffled. "Really? Why are they acting as if theyre bewitched?" "Yeah, even if it really tastes good, its just hot sauce!" "To be honest, if Young Master Bu werent right in front of my eyes, I would definitely have thought they were shills." "..." However, as they talked, it came their turn to taste! And then! They were captivated as well. "Damn, this is delicious!" "So tasty!" "I cant handle it, I feel like Im getting addicted." "..." Yep, a blatant warning of its deliciousness! Thus, more and more people gathered around, the crowd grew bigger and bigger! Soon, even the clients inside the exhibition were drawn out. Everyone who tasted it showed an ecstatic look. Some even started waving their money, ready to buy! A strange scene suddenly occurred! Originally a large seasoning exhibition, but none paid attention, instead, it was the unlabelled hot sauce from Lu Xiaobu at the entrance that sparked a heated discussion! Companies inside the exhibition, such as Mao Yuan, finally couldnt hold back anymore! Chapter 327 - 326: Idiot Shows off IQ [2nd Update, Please Subscribe] Chapter 327: Chapter 326: Idiot Shows off IQ [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]The heads of those seasoning companies who had never come forward before now see how popular Lu Xiaobus chili sauce is... Suddenly, they couldnt control themselves anymore. One by one, they came out, looking at this scene in shock. "Is this real? How can this be unbelievable!" "Yeah, were all in this business, when have we seen a chili sauce that doesnt differentiate between audiences or tastes?" "Look, there are old people, young people, men, and women! Its for everyone!" "Isnt it just set-up?" "..." Xue Lei, the person in charge of Mao Yuan Company, smirked coldly: "Isnt it obvious? Definitely a set-up. Given Lu Xiaobus style, spending millions to hire people for hype is just a trivial matter for him. Too low!" His words were not only uttered blatantly, but also loudly, filled with contempt! Such people are typical idiots who like to show off their intelligence. Just like those readers often see in the book review section, who dont read the book, but spout nonsense everywhere and still accuse others of being set-ups! Upon hearing his words, Lu Xiaobu hadnt even spoken yet. The bystanders who had eaten Lao Ganma exploded. They are just like those real fans of a novel. They like Lu Xiaobus chili sauce, but to be slandered as set-ups, could they tolerate it?! "A set-up? Youre the set-up! Your whole family is a set-up." "Your companys products cant match others, instead of striving to learn and develop, you talk idly here." "Mao Yuan Company, your companys products will never appear in my kitchen ever again!" "..." "Hey, hey, seems like Lu Xiaobu really paid well! There are even such people, okay, alright!" Xue Lei was full of sarcasm and flaunted his intellectual inferiority. How to deal with such people? "Go, pour it into him." Lu Xiaobu took out a bottle of chili sauce, slapped it on the table, and said to the bystanders, "Ill take responsibility for everything." He said he wouldnt hit this guy, but that doesnt mean others wouldnt! When the bystanders heard Lu Xiaobus words, they all suddenly stood tall. One by one, they rolled up their sleeves and charged. "Hold his feet down, you two hold his hands!" "Come, pry his mouth open!" "Make it wider!" "..." Dozens of bystanders pressed Xue Lei to the ground, pried open his mouth, and poured the chili sauce directly down. Well, kicking him a few times while at it is normal! "Cough cough cough! Youre intentionally injuring someone! Im going to sue you!" Xue Leis face turned red with anger! That Lu Xiaobu is so shameless! It was agreed not to take action against him! But now, exploiting loopholes? However! Soon, he furrowed his brows, his eyes revealing a look of doubt. Because he tasted it, the taste of Lao Ganma chili sauce in his mouth. Though hes a hot-tempered bastard. But could it be that he became the person in charge of the exhibition at Mao Yuan Company just because his brother-in-law is the boss? Yes, exactly! Not having eaten pork doesnt mean you havent seen a pig run! Even if hes foolish, having been mixed up in the seasoning industry for so many years, his sense of taste has been developed! So! He understood in a flash. These people are definitely not set-ups, they were conquered by this chili sauce! Xue Lei is the kind of person who wears his emotions on his face. Thus, his expressions were all seen by the bystanders! Watching Xue Leis changing expressions, the bystanders all showed smug smiles. "Playing smart?" "Not playing anymore? Are we set-ups?!" "Still arrogant? Just surrender politely!" "..." At this moment, the incident of Lu Xiaobu personally selling chili sauce to vindicate his companys employees spread within the company! At this moment, even the most stony-hearted of people had their hearts melted! Even some employees with a lower threshold for tears had tears in their eyes! "Young Master Bu, its Young Master Bu!" "Indeed, Young Master Bu is the best boss in the world, none compare!" "I want to stay at Lu Group for my whole life!" "Thats it, Young Master Bu is awesome!" "Exactly, Young Master Bu is awesome!" "..." Their hearts each moved to death! What kind of person is Young Master Bu? Thats the profligate son who lives a life of luxury. Well, this term has absolutely no derogatory meaning. But now, for their sake, an ordinary employee, he personally took the field to sell chili sauce! Just ask, is such a boss worth their desperate efforts? Is it worth struggling all life for his glory? Even to fight vigorously for him! It doesnt matter what you guys think. Whether you call them foolish or too naive! But, they are willing! ... At this moment, at the entrance of the exhibition. Xue Lei, who was previously subject to mockery, is now being mocked by countless people. His face was turning from green to white, yet he couldnt utter any words of retort. His face had truly been slapped. No, it wasnt only him who got a slap in the face. Mao Yuan Company got slapped too. Even the whole condiment industry got slapped! Slapped solidly by this chili sauce that doesnt even have a brand! However, Xue Leis mind is actually not here anymore. Because, the more he savors it, the more addicted to the taste he becomes. He discovered he was truly conquered by Lao Ganma! But! At the same time, a fear has begun to emerge in his heart. Yes, fear! Because, he has already imagined if in the future this chili sauce successfully hits the shelves, then the entire seasoning market will be swept away by this one chili sauce! What does that represent? That represents that their interests will be taken away by Lu Xiaobu alone! How could they possibly agree?! Cutting off someones wealth is like killing their parents! Now someone wants to kill his parents, what should he do?! Silently endure, or rise up in resistance?! No, neither! Xue Lei didnt choose either of these options, he chose... Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. To call his sister from the same parents, to report this news. Not just him, other heads of condiment companies around him were also pulling out their phones, reporting this horrifying news. After the company leaders confirmed it over and over. All their companies marked Lu Xiaobu as public enemy number one! Trying to snatch the meat from their mouths, no way! Almost every companys approach was the same. They all called Lu Xiaobu. "Young Master, many seasoning companies called wanting to cooperate with us..." Liang Lan reported. "Do you even need to tell me? They wish! Just refuse them!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "Okay, Ive already refused, just reporting it." Liang Lan playfully said. Want to cooperate with them?! They actually just want the secret recipe of Lao Ganma! Isnt that thinking too beautifully?! But, they have their schemes, and I have my countermeasures! How could these seasoning companies just accept their fate!? Chapter 329 - 328 Approval! Let the World Feel Our Presence! [4th Update] Chapter 329: Chapter 328 Approval! Let the World Feel Our Presence! [4th Update]The leave requests from employees of various companies were approved by the CEOs, but who approves the CEOs leave request? Of course, its Lu Xiaobu. "Young Master!" Always calm and composed, Liang Lan was utterly disordered by this scene, struggling to even speak clearly! "Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu was stunned. "Look at this!" Liang Lans hands trembled. She handed her mobile phone to Lu Xiaobu. Then she paced restlessly in place, walking back and forth. Constantly pacing! Like those CEOs, she was experiencing an internal emotional upheaval and a bubbling surge of power! There are many stronger companies than Lu Group in the world, But! Is there any company in the world that can achieve this?! One hundred thousand employees striving desperately! All for the glory of Young Master Bu! It all seemed unbelievable, even fantastical! If she hadnt experienced it herself, she would have thought it was all a novel! One hundred thousand people striving desperately! This isnt ancient warfare! But now, she is experiencing it all herself! Its a somewhat childish drama, but it inspires people to disregard their own lives! "My goodness!" Liang Lan covered her mouth tightly, incredulously staring at the responses! One hundred thousand people! Thats one hundred thousand! S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. How can such a thing happen?! "This! This! It really is!" Wu Qianmin was shocked, touched, and excited! Little Bu had grown to such an extent without anyone realizing!! The impact of such posts was more joyful than making money, it even brought tears to her eyes! In this restless era full of deceit, to see such a loyal group of people! How could one not be moved?! As for Su Luoxue, her mind was completely muddled! Everything she had learned in school was completely shattered by this generation! She couldnt explain any of it with anything shed learned! Zhang Meng and Li Jin looked at each other, sharing a knowing smile! Perhaps only they understood, These one hundred thousand people, though numerically huge, were merely an enlarged version of their past selves! Young Master Bu deserved such a treatment. Lu Xiaobu looked at each comment, each application, silently. But an indescribable emotion swelled in his heart! Glory! Excitement! Moved! Frenzy! All these emotions existed, but none could fully describe this feeling! In the end, he could only silently respond with one comment: "Approved! Get restless! Let the world feel our presence!" "Roar!" The entire Lu Group let out a roar! They knew Young Master Bu would definitely agree! This was their Young Master Bu for whom they willingly fought desperately! Crazier than them! More daring than them! An existence doing whatever they desired! Where the sword points, unstoppable! Get restless! At this moment, their competitor was no longer Mao Yuan Company! Because, they are not worthy! Their competitor is the entire world! "Sister Lan, arrange it! Funds: all of it! If the money isnt enough, then take out loans! All the expenses for food and drink for these people will be covered by the company! Since we are going crazy, lets go all out!" Lu Xiaobu ordered fervently. This would be the biggest splurge in his history! And the craziest one! Get restless! "Yes!" Liang Lan gave the most powerful response she ever had! Spending money? When has Young Master Bu ever been afraid of spending money?! He had calculated it, the first batch of funds, fifty billion! And that was just the beginning! ... The next day! All the funds were in place! So! A crazy scene unfolded in the world! First came the announcement! Cola Company announced that because they were going all out, production would be temporarily halted! Zhicheng IT announced that because they were going all out, they would temporarily stop taking orders! Jueying Company announced... Brain Black Gold... ... When netizens saw this unanimous comment, they went crazy! Especially the netizens from Shimen, they were terrified! "Whats going on? Halting business all at once? Going all out? Going all out with whom!?" "Oh my god, have they all gone mad?" "Are they going to start a fight with someone?!" "Truly, mad leaders leading mad teams, theyve been crazy since the annual meeting! They were crazy at Cola Company the other day, and now its escalated to going all out?!" "Holy shit, I have a terrifying guess, do you think theyre going to go all out with Mao Yuan Company!?" "Is it true?! A face-off with a hundred thousand people?!" "Is it going to be a bloodbath?!" "No way, we need to call the police!" "..." Mao Yuan Company was also terrified! "No... no... no... it cant be!" "Come on, its just business competition, no need to make it this big!" "Boss, can I take a leave? My body cant handle this!" "Yes, there are a hundred thousand people on the other side! They could trample us to death!" "Are we really going to fight!?" Mao Yuan Companys bossQi Zhendong however looked disdainful: "Calm down, what are you panicking about? Going all out? They are employees, and Lu Xiaobu is the boss, employees going all out for the boss?! What a joke!?" "Just tell me, do you want to go all out for me or do you want to kill me?" "Its just a Blinding Technique to scare you!" "How crazy can Lu Xiaobu get?!" Hearing Qi Zhendong, although blunt, but speaking the truth. The employees of Mao Yuan Company all sighed in relief. Qi Zhendong was right, the desire they harbored to kill Qi Zhendong was a million, no, a billion times stronger than the desire to go all out for him! Putting oneself in others shoes, it seems truly impossible! Qi Zhendong seeing everyones mood had stabilized, felt like laughing and crying. Laughing because he easily saw through this petty trick, yet his employees couldnt see through it, this was a smug laugh. Yet he wanted to cry because these bastards actually didnt rebut him, meaning, these bastards truly wanted to kill him! However, this emotion was fleeting. Bosses around the world are all the same, dwelling on this makes no sense! Meanwhile Someone started a live broadcast online! The live stream was about the entire process of Lu Xiaobus company going all out. The broadcaster wasnt a person from Juechen, but from a rival competitor. Their title wasHehe, waiting for them to slap their own faces, going all out! Yes, they were here to watch the joke unfold! The broadcaster Zhang Lei was also talking to the audience: "See? Going all out? Really, as if words could twist your tongue!" "Viewers who just joined may not know what Im doing, let me explain, Im currently waiting outside Lu Group headquarters for them to go all out." "However, as you can see, its calm!" The chat was filled with laughter. "Youre really something, taking their joke seriously!" "Exactly, exactly, but it is quite entertaining!" "Actually, Im quite looking forward to seeing Lu Xiaobu getting slapped in the face!" "Waiting, waiting! Even if it takes all day!" "..." Broadcaster Zhang Lei was also very happy, after all, the number of viewers in his stream was skyrocketing, this was all money: "The broadcaster takes you to see the moment Lu Xiaobu gets slapped in the face!" While speaking, he also took out an advertisement, preparing to make money from the ads. And at this moment! The viewers in the live room went crazy! Chapter 331 - 330: 7 Versions of Revenge [First Update] Chapter 331: Chapter 330: 7 Versions of Revenge [First Update]With the addition of more live streamers, there became more and more news coverage about this "Desperate Plan" online, and an increasing number of netizens started paying attention to the operation. Eventually, this matter escalated into an event that the entire network took notice of. People kept speculating what on earth these individuals were planning to do. Of course, at the same time, Lu Xiaobus Lao Ganma Chili Sauce also came into everyones view. Many people said that if they could see it, they would definitely buy a bottle. Not to eat, but to collect! "Tsks tsks, cant imagine that all these started because of chili sauce!" "I dont know whether the chili sauce tastes good, but if I could see it, I would definitely buy a bottle to try it out since Lu Xiaobu said its only five yuan!" "Thats right, this is the chili sauce that sparked the desperate action of a hundred thousand people! Even if it doesnt taste good, its still worth buying as a keepsake." "Keep following! It seems theyre dispersing more and more. Could it be some kind of Blinding Technique?!" "..." Live streamer Zhang Lei was lucky; he had followed the initiator of the Desperate PlanGan Jun! S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhang Lei also continued interacting with his live stream viewers, sharing their speculations. "What in the world is Lu Group up to? Why are they going in different directions, there are people heading towards every corner?" Zhang Lei was the only one who had watched from the beginning to the end, hence he gained the most from this incident, with the largest number of viewers in his live stream. The barrage of comments was filled with random guesses. "Could it be a strategy to disperse and avoid being tracked?" "Yes, after all, theres no need for a hundred thousand people to go against Qi Zhendong. Just a dozen or so would be enough to take care of Qi Zhendong." "If it were me, I would do just that. Use the rest of the ninety-nine thousand people as decoys, and have a thousand people stationed near Qi Zhendongs home and company, ready to ambush. The moment Qi Zhendong appears, pfft!" "Thats right, thats right, this speculation is the most widespread online. Some even came up with a detailed plan, and it seems pretty accurate." "..." While they were happily discussing this, Qi Zhendong was so anxious he could barely sit still. The speculations made by those people could indeed be true. In that case, he had to come up with countermeasures. For example, hiding in the company and not going out. As long as he didnt go out, it was fairly safe within the company. No, its okay not to go out during the day, but what about at night? Qi Zhendong was still stuck in a state of indecision and fear. In the live stream, Gan Jun who had been moving forward finally stopped. In front of him was a small county town belonging to Shimen. The barrage immediately focused their attention. "Hes stopped! Hes stopped!" "Could this small county town have something special?" "However, based on my analysis, its not very likely. After all, the streamer is following him; he cant be oblivious to that, so its very likely that hes just part of the Blinding Technique." "That makes sense. So you are saying that actually, we might not see anything significant today." "Probably!" "..." Gan Jun ignored the lunatics not far from him and took out chili sauce from his backpack: "Chili sauce. Chili sauce, who wants chili sauce?" His way of thinking was straightforward; this was his simple way of hawking. The live stream viewers, seeing that Gan Jun was actually just selling chili sauce, did not lose interest but got even more excited. "As expected!" "As expected, this guy is indeed just a decoy." "Look, the real players have already vanished, and these decoys have started to distract others!" "Thats right, Im going to check out other live streams and analyze the routes to see who is still in play and who has disappeared." "Remember to follow the news, you never know when there might be breaking news about Qi Zhendong!" "..." The online fervor surrounding Lu Groups Desperate Plan was heating up. It even reached a point where there were seven versions related to revenge. Each of these seven versions was extremely ruthless, leaving Qi Zhendong trembling with fear. Too damn ruthless! And just as the wild conspiracy theories were all over the internet. Gan Jun had already sold his first bottle of chili sauce, after all, it was now an internet sensation, with lots of people paying attention to everything. So the moment Gan Jun appeared, he was immediately recognized, with people coming up to join in the buzz. "Youre from the Lu Group, right?" Gan Jun: "Thats right." "Can you tell us, are you going head-to-head with Qi Zhendong? Whats the plan? Which of the seven versions online matches your plan?" Gan Jun frowned: "Im selling chili sauce, I dont know about anything else." "Come on! Do tell!" Gan Juns frown deepened: "Are you buying? If not, please dont block my way, thank you." "Youre really something, alright, alright, its just chili sauce! Will it satisfy you if I buy it?" Gan Jun revealed a smile: "Five bucks, thank you." "Can you talk now?" Gan Jun: "I dont know." "..." Such conversations were repeatedly happening with Gan Jun, and the chili sauce in his backpack was getting fewer and fewer. Just as mentioned before, people were no longer concerned about Lao Ganma Chili Sauces flavor at this point, they considered it a collectible. Not only with Gan Jun was it like this. All one hundred thousand employees of the Lu Group were the same! Although their methods of conversation were different. Some were leveraging the momentum of live streaming, some started from restaurants, others went door to door, and some sold openly... But what was consistent was everyones supply of chili sauce was dwindling. ... In the Lu Group office, Lu Xiaobu was uncommonly seated. His employees were fervently conquering territories for him, so he couldnt possibly be lazy and enjoy himself at this time. At this moment, Liang Lan was sitting next to him. Her computer was filled with various dense data, including population figures, village numbers, distribution of activity time, and so on. This data was collected from the internet. Although not perfectly accurate, it was still a good reference for calculations. She constantly received intelligence from various employees and kept issuing new orders. "Daiwang Village coverage complete, employee 80097358, move on to Xiaowang Village." "Liang Village coverage complete, employee 75625485, proceed to Wu County, help others cover the county town!" "..." Such commands continuously came from her. At the same time, she marked the intelligence on the map displayed on the screen, then projected it onto Lu Xiaobus computer. On the map, Shimen City was the central point. At the beginning, only Shimen was red, while the rest of the places were green. This desperate red was the current coverage area of Lao Ganma. But. Slowly, the red began to expand, starting with the circle closest to Shimen. It began with small dots turning red. Each red dot represented a piece of land conquered by the employees. How this so-called conquest was calculated, or came about, Lu Xiaobu wasnt clear and couldnt be bothered to care. All he needed to do was watch his employees conquer lands for him, while he reigned supreme here! Secure the seat! Firmly seated! Chapter 332 - 331 Direction of the Sword Edge [Second Release] Chapter 332: Chapter 331 Direction of the Sword Edge [Second Release]The red area on the map keeps expanding, continuously expanding. So, at the same time, online discussions about the taste of the chili sauce also started to heat up gradually. Although its subtle, it definitely exists. "Anyone tried the chili sauce? Hows the taste?" "Damn, its super delicious!" "Im totally hooked, luckily Im not far from Shimen, even if the supermarket doesnt have it, I can still go buy it." "Its really tasty! Never mind the desperate plan, this chili sauce is truly conscientious!" "..." The hotter the topic online, the faster the map coverage expands, the faster the map is covered, the hotter the online discussion becomes. At this moment, Lu Groups street stall sales have entered a perfect virtuous cycle. And it must be said, this internet era never lacks talent. Some people online actually managed to deduce the coverage area of Lao Ganma Chili Sauce just by the various comments, reports, and live streams! Basically, it matches 80% with the map on Lu Xiaobus computer! Thus, although they dont know the exact standards, they now have a rough idea where these employees will target next. "Damn, Lu Groups ambition is really huge!" "Theyre not seriously planning to break through Mao Yuans blockade, are they?!" "Using this street stall sale model, to fight across the entire country?!" "How does this all feel like a joke?" "Joking or not, from what it looks like, it should reach our city in a couple of days, based on how good you all say it is, Ill go buy a bottle to try!" "Me too!" Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "..." The evolution and fermentation of these events have made the employees territory conquering speed start to show exponential explosive growth! Previously, they needed to go door to door to promote and sell. But now. As soon as they arrive at a village or a county town, people are already waiting there. And the chili sauce they brought, would be sold out in no time. The expansion speed of the map, became even faster! Finally, on the second day, at eight in the evening. Liang Lan excitedly reported to Lu Xiaobu, and also to everyone, a significant piece of news: "Cangbei Province! Fully covered! Our Lao Ganma has conquered the first province! Thank you, everyone, no, I should say congratulations to everyone!" At that moment, Lu Groups employees scattered across various places in Cangbei Province all clenched their fists and couldnt help but roar out loud. "We did it!" Yes, they did it! Despite being thirsty and desiccated, despite their legs aching unbearably every night, despite their shoulders being bruised from carrying backpacks. But! They did it! They conquered Cangbei Province! The entire Cangbei Province! How big is Cangbei Province? How many places needed to be conquered? Let me tell you, prefecture-level cities. Under the cities, there are 172 counties (cities, districts), including 23 county-level cities, 115 counties, and 34 urban districts. The entire province has 1970 towns, one urban district, and 50201 village committees. But! With the desperate efforts of one hundred thousand employees! Two days! Yes, just two days! Excluding the nighttime. This time becomes 24 hours! That is to say, within 24 hours, Lu Group, with one hundred thousand employees, covered the entire Cangbei Province with chili sauce! Terrifying! Only these two words! This can only be done by Lu Group! So, when the speculation map made by netizens came out online. Everyone went crazy! "Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! How long has it been? The whole Cangbei Province is covered in chili sauce?!" "Are you kidding me? Is it that terrifying?!" "Did they go everywhere in Cangbei Province!?" "Street stall-style selling? By just walking on their own two legs, they actually took over the entire Cangbei Province!?" "Terrifying! Its just terrifying!" "Is there anyone from Cangbei Province who can tell if this is real or fake?" "Just eating Lao Ganma here, watching you brag!" "+1" "+1" "+10086" "..." So, now the online topics are divided into three. The first one, about the conspiracy theories of the desperate plan, continuously provokes Qi Zhendongs nerves. It keeps getting scarier as they say, selling chili sauce is just a cover, the ultimate goal is still Qi Zhendong, there are already so many people infiltrating near Qi Zhendongs company, seeing strange people, and so on. Its scaring Qi Zhendong to the point where he cant eat or sleep well. ... The second one is about the terrifying expansion speed of chili sauce, continuously provoking the nerves of economists and various business people. They keep discussing. "Can this carpet-style, or rather, street stall-style selling really work?" "Whether it can or not, Lu Xiaobu has already done it." "Go away, dont compare us with Lu Xiaobu, his employees are willing to die for him, ours just want to kill us, lets purely analyze from an economic perspective." "Its difficult, it always feels like the input is not covering the output, it would be okay if it were luxury goods, but now its just chili sauce, I really dont understand how Lu Xiaobu manages to break even." "Yes, the profit margins on condiments have always been very low, and now this kind of manual distribution method is really laborious and unappreciated!" "Dont understand, cant figure it out, lets wait for the final data to come out and then analyze." "..." The third one. Thats the discussion about the taste of Lao Ganma itself. "Damn delicious!" "Dont laugh, but my family finished a bottle of Lao Ganma in just two days, and now Im really scraping the bottle with a bun." "Laugh my ass off, my family too, especially my nephew. Once he had Lao Ganma, he stopped eating candy altogether, and if Im not careful, this kid definitely goes for a spoonful!" "Stop talking about that, Im planning a trip to Shimen, its not far anyway, to buy a couple of bottles to keep. Anyone want to share a ride?" "Sure! I was thinking the same, lets go together." "..." Although these three types of comments are different, they all invariably revolve around the main character this timeLao Ganma. So, Lao Ganma is being hyped up even more. Thus, the progress of carpet-style sales is accelerating. This can be seen from Liang Lans reports. In the past, how she reported. "Daiwang Village was covered." "Xilong Village was covered." "..." And this is how she reported yesterday. "Zhangping County was covered." "Qingyu County was covered." "..." And this is how she reported today. "Jingxi Province, Qi Yuan City coverage level 7%...15%...23%..." Liang Lans reports are getting more concise and the targets are getting bigger. This also signifies that the time to cover the whole country is getting closer! Chapter 333 - 332 The First in History [3 Updates] Chapter 333: Chapter 332 The First in History [3 Updates]As they moved out of Cangbei Province, the expansion rate on the map gradually stabilized. After all, even though the online hype was growing hotter, transportation was becoming more time-consuming. Both factors offset each other, so the speed gradually stabilized. But even so. Lao Ganma Chili Sauce still managed to cover a province every three days on average! So. A month and a half later. Lao Ganma had covered fifty percent of the entire country! And this was achieved through the tireless efforts of a hundred thousand people, step by step, conquering territory. And by this moment, the so-called blockade had become a joke. Now no supermarket, no person dared to refuse to stock and sell Lao Ganma. Unless they wanted to be beaten to death by those who couldnt get it! So, while it seemed like fifty percent, in reality, it was actually one hundred percent! Only, not all of it was achieved through carpet-style selling! But, this was already a miracle! "Alright, let everyone come back now, its enough." Lu Xiaobu stood up, stretched lazily, and said to Liang Lan. "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded. Indeed, it was enough; continuing any further was meaningless. Moreover, other industries had also halted production for so long that the stock was completely depleted; this could not continue. Upon receiving Lu Xiaobus order, the tired employees, one by one, happily headed back. Back home! They had won! They had accomplished it! This battle for the honor of Young Master Bu, they won! To what extent did they win? To the extent that in the chili sauce section of every supermarket across the country, other brands were ignored, but as soon as Lao Ganma arrived, it was swept off the shelves. Every day, Liang Lan received endless calls pressing for more supply. Liang Lan was thoroughly annoyed. After all, if there had been enough people in the group, it wouldnt have been her job to deal with such calls. So, her temper was rather rough. "Hello, is this Lu Group? We want Lao Ganma, as much as you have!" "None, get lost!" "We want..." "What do you want? We have nothing!" "No, what we want is cola." "That too, none available, just wait!" "..." Probably only Lu Group could dare to curse these suppliers like this throughout the country! Meanwhile! The entire internet was exploding. "They actually did it!" "One hundred thousand people? Conquering with their legs step by step?" "Forcefully breaking through the blockade?" "Spread Lao Ganma Chili Sauce across the entire nation!" "Lu Xiaobu is freaking awesome, to make a hundred thousand people willing to die for him!" "Really, now when I eat chili sauce, its only Lao Ganma, I cant eat anything else!" "Me too, same here!" "I as well!" "However, Qi Zhendong doesnt seem to have been hit!" "You noticed that too! The desperate plan they spoke of was this carpet sale, it wasnt really about hitting Qi Zhendong!" "Yes! Lu Xiaobu has once again swept the whole world!" "Qi Zhendong must be going crazy now!" "..." Qi Zhendong isnt crazy, not yet! He had smashed everything inside his office to bits! "F*ck! What the hell is this conspiracy theory! Damn desperate plan! All just to scare the hell out of me! F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!" He was so damn nervous for a month and a half, and in the end, he gained nothing. Several companies teamed up to blockade, failed! Huge investment into the research department to decrypt the secret recipe, failed! And yet he lost in such a frustrating way. Thats right, frustrating. If Lu Xiaobu had just beaten him with money, that would have been it! He would have accepted it, after all, he never thought he could completely win! But! He actually lost in this era where it shouldnt even exist, this almost ridiculous carpet-style sales! And the funniest thing is, he has been panicking all this time! But nothing came of it! Even a brick hitting me wouldnt even count as a waste of effort! Damn it! Probably the only person in the whole world hoping to get hit! ... Shimen. The employees all came back. Lu Xiaobu personally welcomed them, as if welcoming his warriors, no, not as if, it is exactly what he was doing! The previously beauty-loving girls have tanned and lost weight, their faces covered with weather-beaten lines. Yet they laugh and say they succeeded in losing weight and even saved money on cosmetics. The programmers and office workers who usually stayed indoors had grown muscles, walking with a vigorous stride. They were gesturing to each other, showing no signs of frailty. "Everyone, great job!" Lu Xiaobu saw those faces filled with tiredness, excitement, and pride; he raised his right hand high and clenched his fist: "Weve won! This kingdom was conquered by you!" "We won! Yay! Young Master Bu is awesome!" Everyone raised their right hands, faces filled with fervent emotion! They won! They won! At this moment, their hearts were filled with ecstatic joy! "Young Master Bu, well, how much did we earn?" An employee asked excitedly. He wanted to know just how much they had made. After all, without earning money, all of this would be pointless. "We earned a billion!" Lu Xiaobu blurted out, he didnt even know how much they really made. Liang Lan just smiled silently next to him. Did they earn? Maybe they did! Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "A billion!?" The hundred thousand employees suddenly exclaimed, their faces showing joyful smiles. It was worth it! To earn a billion for Young Master Bu in just forty-five days! This is just fantastic! "Alright, everyone go rest, tonight, well have a celebration banquet! There will be bonuses!" Lu Xiaobu looked at their smiles and laughed. "Alright!" Employees happily ran home. They were really tired. ... At this moment, many economists and businessmen were already analyzing this desperate endeavor. They wanted to see just how much Lu Xiaobu, a person known for his unexpected strategies, had earned this time. After much data analysis, computations, summarization, and repeated verification! They came to a maddening conclusion! The profit from a jar of Lao Ganma Chili Sauce was merely between thirty to fifty cents. And in these forty-five days, even disregarding the costs and only considering Lao Ganmas profit. It barely amounted to over forty million. But how much did Lu Xiaobu invest? billion! A full 60 billion! Dont think this number is high, after all, Lu Xiaobu deployed a hundred thousand people. billion spread among each person was just sixty thousand each. Forty-five days of eating, drinking, toileting, sleeping, plus accidents, medical expenses, etc. Sixty thousand, not a lot! Really not a lot! After all, just the accommodations and transportation fees could take up half of it! This means. Lu Xiaobu lost 60 billion this time! And this number was nearly equal to all of Lu Xiaobus assets. They even got insider information that Lu Xiaobu, who never borrows, took a loan of ten billion from banks! Upon reaching this conclusion, everyones first reaction was disbelief. Who would be foolish enough to undertake such unprofitable efforts? With those 60 billion, opening specialty stores across the nation would be more than enough! But no matter how they calculated, the figure still never decreased, it only grew! Because, they suddenly realized, other industries of the Lu Group were also affected! The result was, no matter how they saw it, this was a thoroughly wasteful act! Could the Lu Group be going bankrupt?! Liang Lan did not know their thoughts, but even if she did, she would only scoff at them! A bunch of short-sighted fools! Chapter 334 - 333: Fight Again【4th Update】 Chapter 334: Chapter 333: Fight Again4th UpdateEconomists are puzzled by their conclusions. But they still posted them online. "Foolhardy Action? An Outright Waste of Family Wealth?" "A Prodigal Son Returns to Jianghu? Are All These Genius Plans Nonsense?" "60 Billion for 40 Million, Is It Worth It?" "The Prodigal Sons Extravagant Splurge" "Toying with Everyone? Or Just Toying with Himself?" These articles popped up online. Everyone was shocked to their core! "Holy crap, Lu Xiaobu actually spent 60 billion on this?!" "Is he insane! Spending 60 billion just for this?!" "He must be mad!" "His brain has a hole in it, no explanation needed!" "Lu Xiaobu is done for now! Forget about the Third Level Rich List, he probably wont even make it onto the Newcomer Rich List!" "Haha, 60 billion for 50 million? Oh, wait, its 40 million? Not even the craftiest businessmen, let alone elementary students, would do this." "Idiot!" "I bet hes going bankrupt now!" "..." How could the people at Lu Group not see what was on the internet? At Gan Juns home. "Mom, whats up? Let me sleep!" Gan Jun lay on the bed speaking to his swaying mother. He was too exhausted! He had given his all! "Didnt you tell me earlier that you guys won this time?" Gans mother asked with a strange expression. "Yes! We made a billion for Young Master Bu this time, and Young Master Bu said there would be a bonus too." Gan Jun smiled. "When I come back, Ill bring it to you to spend. Just let me sleep for now." "Take a look at this!" Gans mother sighed and handed over the phone to Gan Jun. "What is thiAh!" Gan Jun suddenly sat up! He looked at the news on the phone in disbelief, constantly refreshing. He couldnt believe it, but he had to! His sleepiness disappeared in an instant! Young Master Bu lost 60 billion! Borrowed another ten billion! Business close to bankruptcy!? Lao Ganma only made 40 million?! He couldnt help but recall the moment Young Master Bu smilingly told themthey made a billion! Bonus tonight! Somehow, his tears started to flow. ... Little Li, a girl who hadnt touched makeup for a long time, was happily applying makeup. Then she saw the news. She stopped her makeup routine, tears ruining her freshly applied foundation. A complete mess! ... Zhang Hu, happily dining out, put down his chopsticks, poured a beer, drank it in one gulp, and looked up at the sky! ... Similar scenes were unfolding in the homes of all employees of Lu Group. The hundred thousand people of Lu Group had an indescribable feeling. That indescribable feeling! They always thought they were fighting for Young Master Bu, fighting recklessly for his glory. And they did win! But the reality. Clearly, it was Young Master Bu shielding them with his wings, accompanying them in their folly, letting them go wild! This kind of protective feeling, they had only ever experienced from their parents, but this time, they actually felt it from Young Master Bu! Maybe they were fighting in the wrong direction! Its time to get back on track! To really fight one more time! ... Gan Jun, coming back to his senses. Silently posted another message. "Sorry, I was Being Foolish" Just like the original post of dedication, this post quickly got responses. "Sorry, I was Being Foolish" "Sorry, I was Being Foolish" "Sorry, I was Being Foolish" "..." And they continued to reply. The second post appeared. "Time to work" "Yeah, time to work!" "I suddenly feel very energetic, I want to work overtime." "You too? Lets do it together!" "Xiao Wang, I remember our client, we are halfway through, right?" "Yes, Brother Wu, I just contacted them, they said they dont want to proceed, Im communicating with them." "..." They tacitly didnt mention the online incident, nor the crazy loan matter of Young Master Bu. Its as if nothing had happened. But they were roaring in their hearts! Young Master Bu went bankrupt?! Who are you kidding!? Its just sixty billion! We have a hundred thousand people, we could spend it, we can earn it back! ... "Young Master, well, everyone said no to the celebration feast." Liang Lan said to Lu Xiaobu with a smile. "Huh? No way! I was all prepared!" Lu Xiaobu was dumbfounded: "Whats this about!? Ditching me!? Ill sort them out." "Young Master, come on, why, dont you know yet?" Liang Lan chided. This Young Master loves playing dumb. He always pretends to be ignorant of his own actions. ... Meanwhile, the rankings for the Third Level Rich List were released. Lu Xiaobu didnt drop off the rich list. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. But his current ranking is almost no different from having dropped off! Ranked 99! Online spectators, lovers of drama, all started to enjoy the show. "Oh man, Lu Group is done for!" "Tsks tsks tsks, Lu Xiaobu, the prodigal son! Its confirmed this time!" "Billion after billion! Just spent it all! If it were me, I wouldve just put the money in the bank and lived off the interest!" "You couldnt have made that much money!" "So what if I couldnt? At least, Im not wasteful! Unlike some people, right!" "..." Qi Zhendong, previously scared witless, how could he not come out to throw some cold remarks now? "Desperate actions? Haha, very desperate! Desperate until you are left with nothing!" Fan Xi from Conquest Game Company also jumped in, seizing the opportunity to kick them while down! "Some people just cant make it, pity, messing around wont get you into the big leagues! Our Conquest Company has a new game out, please support!" The TXH boy band members, like its New Year, went crazy on Weibo! "Awesome!" "Nothing, just awesome!" "What goes around comes around, its not that it wont happen, just not time yet!" "..." Fang Yunlong was more direct. "Hahaha, trash Lu Xiaobu, just waiting to see your end! With your current assets, probably not even enough to pay back your loans! Will definitely go bankrupt within a month! When youre out of money, what are you worth?!" Lu Xiaobus few friends also called him one after another. Principal Li of Emperor Electric. "Xiaobu, whats going on?! Need help?" Principal Li asked worriedly.

The Four Young Masters of Imperial, Lin Feng. "Hahaha, youre finally done for! Im happier than on New Years Day!" "Get lost!" Director Chen Feiyang. "This..." "..." Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone and turned off his mobile, annoying right? Its just some money! He was always a prodigal son! So what if Im prodigal?! Besides, who gave you the confidence that Im doomed this time?! ... At this moment! Lu Group, like a precise big machine, started working! Everyone walked with a breeze, eating and drinking water, all done at the fastest speed! Their eyes were filled with fighting spirit! Yes, they were desperate in the wrong way before! But this time, they definitely wont make a mistake! Chapter 335 - 334 Earning Money [Fifth Release] Chapter 335: Chapter 334 Earning Money [Fifth Release]Because of the one and a half months of messing around. So, aside from LOLs market which remains unshaken by anyone. Other product markets have been invaded by similar products. Cola, Shadow, Brain Black Gold, Sincere IT, and even Juechens live streaming were all affected. Those companies who snatched opportunities from Lu Xiaobu are overjoyed. "Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu, this idiot! He must be dumbfounded now!" "My Angel Mobile Group is back, Shadow is no longer the only option!" "Cola? No one drinks cola anymore, they drink my Frenzy!" "Brain Black Gold? Our health products are better and more popular than yours!" "..." Thats right, theyve become arrogant! They think that Lu Xiaobu missing out on this one and a half months of market, compounded by his self-consumption, is completely finished! If you dont believe it, just look at the online comments, its all curses! "Lu Xiaobu, come out! You jerk! You had your fun, what about us? How long has it been since I had cola? Not drinking it anymore!" "Thats right, no more Brain Black Gold either!" "And Shadow, I finally saved up enough money, but theres no stock, you really broke my heart, Shadow is blacklisted for life!" "..." And its not just online. Even some suppliers have lost faith in Lu Group! This is business, missing one day can lead to failure! Not to mention Lu Group has now missed so much time! So many suppliers now take a wait-and-see approach towards Lu Groups products. No longer chasing them as before. However. Next, they witnessed true horror! With Lu Group operating at full strength, all companies went all out! Products that were previously out of stock started being produced again. Released into the market! The speed was more than twice as fast as before! And the sales team was like lunatics, all out approaching customers, securing contracts! Wheedling and using every tactic in the book! Customer service staff treated all orders, no matter the size, with warmth! Delivery staff ensured safety, delivering goods at the fastest speed! Then! In a short time, Lu Groups products reappeared in the hands of all suppliers! And then! Those companies who felt confident and thought they had seized the market... Witnessed the following scene! ... A supermarket. The manager had just placed the freshly delivered cola on the shelf! Then! A guy browsing the internet and cursing Lu Xiaobu, upon seeing the cola being stocked... Immediately threw away his Frenzy, pocketed his phone, grabbed a box of cola, and ran off! Without saying a word! Because there was no time! The supermarket manager was baffled! WTF! Didnt you say you wouldnt drink cola anymore? What the heck is this behavior? But then, a second later. Upon hearing the news, about a dozen people ran in, handed the money to the manager, each grabbing a box of cola and also running off. Just like that, the dozen boxes of cola he had stocked were sold out! The supermarket manager watched the scene, dumbfounded. Why the rush?! Like someone was going to snatch it away from you. The next second! Indeed, someone actually did snatch. "Manager, I heard the cola arrived, right? Give me ten boxes!" Manager: "Just sold out!" "What?! I came as soon as I could, and still missed it?! Damn, tell me who bought it? Im going to rob that son of a gun!" Manager: "Why the rush?!" "Can I not be anxious? Everyone knows that Lu Group is a bunch of lunatics, what if they stop production again one day, then I cant drink it anymore, tell me the truth, is this all you got, because if it is, Im going to rob!" Manager: "No, no, dont rush, Lu Group has resumed production, Im restocking right now!" "Thats fine, Ill wait, right here!" Manager: "Alright, alright!" The manager immediately went to make a call! Restocking, restocking like mad! This scene not only occurred with cola but also on other various products. Shadow Speed! Countless people returned their Angel Mobile phones and went to buy Shadow Speed! Yep, thats exactly what they planned to do! After all, theres a seven-day no-reason return policy! Sincerity IT. After they completed the contract of the first company at triple the speed... Over a dozen companies immediately stopped the contracts with other IT companies and switched their projects to Sincerity IT! Yep, as expected, Sincerity ITs speed and quality are unmatched! Nobody can compete! This is the case in every industry. As soon as Lu Group stocks its products. Immediately. Countless customers rushed in, sweeping away cola, Shadow Speed, and so on! Instantly! Stocking up, stocking up! Frantically stocking up! Orders and contracts fluttered towards the headquarters like snowflakes! Delivering goods, shipping out! Every day, the groups warehouses were full of trucks! Delivering across the country! Lu Group regained its glory! No, even more glorious than before! Because now the fighting spirit of Lu Group is surging! They are determined to return Young Master Bu to the pinnacle! Those companies that thought they had taken over Lu Xiaobus market and were getting inflated were all stunned! "What the fuck! Why is this happening?!" "Didnt you say you were done with Lu Group for good, boycotting them forever?" "Whats wrong with our Angel Mobile? Isnt it still a large-screen smartphone? Whats the difference from Shadow Speed?!" "You said our improved beverage was really good, didnt you?! Why the hell not now!?" "No, just give us one more day and it was going to be done, why are you switching back to Sincerity IT!?" "..." These things might not be very apparent to the public! But, they are visible on the Third Level Rich List! Before, the Third Level Rich List would barely get updated once in several months! But now, the Third Level Rich List updates several times a day as if its malfunctioning! Its not because of anyone else but because of Lu Xiaobu. In just one day. Lu Xiaobu paid off his bank loans! In two days! Lu Xiaobu climbed up to rank 72! In three days! Rank 65! After five days! Lu Xiaobu reached the 50th position on the Third Level Rich List! And he continues to rise! Its believed that very soon, Lu Xiaobu will break back into the top thirty! The entire society was shocked by this crazy scenario! Lu Xiaobu actually made several billion in one day!!? In five days, from 99 to 50? Not even a week, and he jumped half the leaderboard?! Are you fucking kidding me?! Is that making money or printing money?! Is your damn game hacked?! What kind of hack? Tell me, I want to buy one! I dont need one as powerful as yours; just earning a few hundred a day is fine! Thousands of words were choking them, but they couldnt say anything! In the end, it could only be summed up with one sentence! Lu Xiaobu, you are awesome! Can we fucking admit defeat now? But as much as they admit defeat, those economists still have to analyze! Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Damn it, analyzing Lu Xiaobu always gives them such a headache! Dont blame them for swearing, you would swear too if you were in their shoes! Chapter 337 - 336 Who are you? [1st Update] Chapter 337: Chapter 336 Who are you? [1st Update]Online discussions about Lu Xiaobus dramatic comeback and his further advancement had never ceased. Meanwhile, Lao Ganma had also secured its position as the leading brand in the chili sauce domain. Especially after discovering that Lu Xiaobu only makes three cents per bottle of Lao Ganma Chili Sauce, it was praised as a conscientious chili sauce. It became popular all over Jiangnan! In the Lu Group internally, bonuses were being distributed again. Although there was money to be taken, everyone wasnt that excited. Because what really excited them was something else. After this period of hard struggle, sharing weal and woe, 272 couples had unknowingly formed within the company. Most of them had met during that one and a half months. During that time, there were no deceptions or concealments; everybody was their most genuine self and saw the true selves of others. Plus, having a common goal, the feelings erupted immediately when they met the right person. Previously, because they knew about Young Master Bus near bankruptcy, they chose to keep it a secret. But now, they were reassured and quietly announced it. Even a large number had already progressed to discussing marriage. When you meet the right person, sometimes its just that quick! This time. The company intranet exploded. "Oh my God, Xiao Wang, I always thought you were an honest guy, but look at you being so sly! Taking action so quickly!?" "My goddess! Shes going to be someone elses wife!" "Stop messing around, folks upstairs, theyve confirmed their relationship already." "Just kidding." "In such a short time, 272 single dogs have paired up, Im so jealous!" "If youre jealous, why didnt you make a move in the first place?!" "Didnt find the right one! Its not like you can solve this by randomly grabbing a carrot." "Why dont you guys have a collective wedding and invite Young Master Bu as well?" "Better not, do you think if Young Master Bu comes it would still be a wedding?!" "It seems so, Young Master Bu plays around a bit, we can handle it, but both parents will likely freak out!" "Hahaha! Is it really okay for you guys to talk about Young Master Bu like this? Although youre right." "..." "These idiots." Lu Xiaobu saw the messages on the internal network, smiled wryly, and didnt intervene. Liang Lan is now very busy, so her secretary Su Luoxue is currently taking care of his daily life. "Boss, many economic forums and summits are inviting you to give speeches, will you go?" Su Luoxue asked while holding the phone. The boss became famous in one battle, shaking the domestic scene, now being invited by various summits and forums to share his experience is normal! Honestly, her insight is not as good as Liang Lans, so seeing these famous forums inviting the boss, she feels a bit excited! If the boss went, she could also gain some exposure! "No, no." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. If he goes, hed have to speak; what speech, always in meetings instead of handling real business! Their company internally is already lazy to hold meetings, no morning or evening meetings at all, let alone going to others! Bored!? "Okay, boss, Ill decline their invitations." Su Luoxue felt helpless, with a touch of disappointment in her heart. She felt that attending these meetings could be beneficial, as mingling in the business circle and meeting more tycoons could have its perks. But after thinking it over, she figurednevermind, she guessed that with the bosss temper, he might just wreck the place! Just then, Lu Xiaobus phone rang again. Su Luoxue looked at it, it was from an unknown number, she frowned and answered the call. Although the bosss phone number isnt very confidential, those who know it are definitely not average people. Well, except for a blind cat meeting a dead rat, of course! "Hello, is this Lu Xiaobu?" A deep male voice came through from the other end of the line. Su Luoxue paid attention to the call as soon as she heard how the caller addressed her. After all, since the other party knew this was the bosss phone and dared to call him by name, they must be someone important. "Yes, may I ask who this is?" Su Luoxue asked softly. A voice from the other end of the phone said: "I am from Wen Family Hall, are you Lu Xiaobus secretary? Can you put me through to Lu Xiaobu?" "Wen Family Hall?" Su Luoxues pupils shrank sharply. Wen Family Hall, is it really Wen Family Hall?! The Wen Family Hall that ranks first on the Third Level Rich List?! Why is he calling Young Master Bu?! Her heart couldnt help but feel uneasy, she quickly said: "Okay, okay, please hold on." Su Luoxue hurriedly ran towards where Lu Xiaobu was. This is where you see the difference between Su Luoxue and Liang Lan. If it were still Liang Lan, she wouldnt care if the other party was from Wen Family Hall or Li Family Hall, she would definitely figure out the situation clearly before going to Lu Xiaobu to inform him, so that Lu Xiaobu would be prepared mentally. On the other hand, Su Luoxue was different, being merely a university student and also occupied with her studies, she doesnt often participate in Lu Xiaobus business matters, currently still learning about his daily habits. So, suddenly receiving a call from a tycoon, she panicked. "Whats wrong? Why are you so flustered?" Lu Xiaobu yawned and asked. "Boss, its a call from Wen Family Hall." Su Luoxue handed over the phone somewhat excitedly to Lu Xiaobu, saying. "Who?" Lu Xiaobu frowned, took the phone, and said somewhat confused: "What Wen Family Hall? Who is it exactly?!" He had no memory of this name. If Liang Lan were here, she would have informed him already. "Ah!?" Su Luoxue covered her mouth in shock, pointing at the phone. She was confused. Boss, the call is still connected. Are you really not afraid of offending someone with that question?! Also, you actually dont know Wen Family Hall!? No way! I even know it! But, she dared not speak and could only hint through her gestures. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh." Lu Xiaobu nodded, thinking that Su Luoxue was suggesting he ask the person on the phone directly. So. He put the phone to his ear and blurted out: "Who are you?!" No sooner had he spoken! Instant silence fell on the other end of the line! Dead quiet. Wen Family Halls mouth twitched, his mood spoiled. At that moment. Lu Xiaobu, not hearing a reply, pursed his lips and said to Su Luoxue: "You see, the other party isnt even speaking. Learn from Sister Lan, dont send every call my way." After that, Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone! Su Luoxue saw Lu Xiaobu hang up the call, she lost it! Wen Family Hall, ranking first on the Third Level Rich List, personally taking the initiative to call the boss, and got hung up on?! This is madness! "Doo-doo-doo-doo!" Wen Family Hall listened to the sound on the phone, his face turning green! Not recognizing me is one thing! But hanging up on my call now, whats going on?! Do you know where I am right now?! Chapter 338 - 361: Declaration of War? [2nd Update] Chapter 338: Chapter 361: Declaration of War? [2nd Update]Behold my Great Time Travel Technique! Time Travel! Well, actually, just back to before Su Luoxue answered the call from Wen Family Hall. ... At an economic summit in Magic City. The invited Wen Family Hall delivered the opening speech. And after the speech. Came the time for questions from the audience. As a result. The first question was this. "Good day, Mr. Wen Family Hall, what is your opinion of Lu Xiaobu? Is he a wastrel or someone adept at creating miracles?" Upon hearing this question, everyone found it strange but also saw it as reasonable. At the end of the day, the one who has climbed half the Third Level Rich List in five days is none other than Lu Xiaobu. Although directing the first topic at the absent Lu Xiaobu demonstrated a lack of respect, it was inevitable. After all, its believed that no summit or forum discussion could currently ignore the name Lu Xiaobu. Hearing the reporters question, Wen Family Hall chuckled with no other expression on his face, saying elegantly, "That is a good question, but, unfortunately, Im afraid it is not convenient for me to answer, dont you agree?" His response was watertight. Effectively dodging the query. Indeed, as the first-ranked individual, if he were to praise the twentieth-ranked Lu Xiaobu, it would undoubtedly lead to criticism of humiliation. Yet if he were to criticize or refute Lu Xiaobu, that would be even more embarrassing. Thus, his reply was arguably the best possible. However, these reporters clearly did not intend to let him off the hook. "So, Mr. Wen Family Hall, according to my information, up to this point, Lu Xiaobu has not attended any summit or forum, so could Mr. Wen Family Hall please give Lu Xiaobu a call? We truly wish to learn more about this matter." A reporter stood up, speaking measuredly. At this point, Wen Family Hall, unwilling as he might be, had to make the call. However, he felt a smoldering irritation within; these reporters were really overstepping. But as much as he was annoyed, he still dialed Lu Xiaobus phone number. Thinking of quickly providing the reporters with an answer, he found them too troublesome to deal with. In terms of making a phone call, he never considered the possibility of failure. After all, he was the top figure, calling the twentieth-ranked Lu Xiaobu, and failure was not an option! The call connected, and then occurred the conversation he had with Su Luoxue. Everything went normally. The journalists onsite also tried their best to capture every detail. After all, Lu Xiaobus news was the most valuable at the moment; any statement could hit the headlines, and they just had to come up with such a low tactic. Who told Lu Xiaobu not to attend any meetings or accept any interviews? However, "Whats Wen Family Hall? Who the heck is that?!" Lu Xiaobus words crystal clear through the phone reached the ears of all reporters. Instantly. The entire conference room fell into silence. Uh... What now? Lu Xiaobu doesnt know Wen Family Hall?! This is going to be interesting! Many reporters began drafting headlines. "Mix-Up or Deliberate?" "The First Clash between Two Magnates." "Lu Xiaobu Doesnt Recognize Wen Family Hall." "..." Wen Family Halls complexion darkened immediately. Lu Xiaobu, arent you going too far! Were all in the business circle, on the same list. Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even as the first-ranked, I know who you are, yet you dont recognize me, whos also ranked first. What are you trying to do!? However, before he could figure out a solution. The phone emitted a sound again. "Who are you?" Lu Xiaobus words transmitted over. That completely indifferent tone momentarily stunned the entire venue once more; this time it wasnt silence, but deathly stillness that enveloped them. The first time it could have been passed off as a misunderstanding, or perhaps a lack of immediate reaction. But now, to say such words a second time was truly an outright display of ignorance! Oh my God! Has Lu Xiaobu gone mad? As someone ranked 20th on the Third Level Rich List, you may not recognize others, but why on earth dont you even recognize the first?! This joke has really gone too far! Reporters began changing their headlines. "Lu Xiaobu Deems No One Worthy, Fails to Recognize Wen Family Hall" "Is It Truly Unfamiliarity, or Is It Intentional?" "The Grudges and Grievances between Wen Family Hall and Lu Xiaobu" The corner of Wen Family Halls mouth twitched, barely able to suppress the raging fury within! Lu Xiaobu, what the hell do you mean?! Do you know where you are?! Youre throwing shade at me in public?! What on earth are you trying to do? Well, he hadnt even had the chance to figure out what Lu Xiaobu wanted to do. The call was hung up! "Dudu dudu dudu!" The very familiar sound of a call ending came through. As the saying goes, if not perishing in silence, then explode in silence. So! An explosion occurred on the spot! "Holy shit! Forgive my swearing, but Lu Xiaobu has really gone off the rails!" "Right?! Hanging up on Wen Family Halls call in public?!" "Is Lu Xiaobu declaring war on Wen Family Hall?!" "Remember what that thesis in Time Travel Technique said? It mentioned that for Lu Xiaobu, reaching first place was just a matter of time! Could it be that Lu Xiaobu has already set his sights on first place?!" "Wen Family Hall has lost face big time this time!" "Yeah! Looks like these two heavyweights have no choice but to clash now!" "Now this is going to be interesting!" "..." Wen Family Hall, listening to the beeping on the phone, turned green with rage! Who knows what it was that kept him from smashing his phone out of impulse! Fine, you dont recognize me, I can take it! But what does hanging up on my call mean?! Do you really want to fight to the death with me?! Lu Xiaobu!!! Have you really thought this through?! You must know, at their position, not everyone can afford to let go of everything and do as they please like Lu Xiaobu. They had too much at stake. Many times, even if they were unwilling, public opinion would compel them to do certain things. Moreover, he was now truly irritated with Lu Xiaobu. ... Meanwhile, on the other side. Su Luoxue became frantic when she saw Lu Xiaobu hang up the phone on Wen Family Hall. "Boss, that was Wen Family Hall on the phone, the first on the Third Level Rich List! Why did you just hang up on them?" Su Luoxue asked, pulling her hair. "The first on the Third Level Rich List?" Lu Xiaobu scratched his head: "Why didnt you say so earlier?" "I" Su Luoxue was at a loss for words, how was I supposed to know that you didnt know. But she still lowered her head: "My mistake, I was too excited just now." Indeed, she had made an error, at the very least, when she received the call, even if she wanted to pass it to Lu Xiaobu, she should have covered the mouthpiece and checked with Lu Xiaobu first, instead of directly handing him the phone. In that regard, she was totally in the wrong! That was Liang Lans absence speaking; if she had been present, Su Luoxue surely would have been scolded by her. "By hanging up on him just now, did I kind of slap his face?" Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment and then redialed. He didnt care about other things, but he felt a tinge of guilt. After all, the other side hadnt cursed at him or confronted him; hanging up for no reason was indeed not right. Chapter 339 - 338: Kick the Bomb [3rd Update, Celebrating Hangman’s Birthday, Happy Birthday] Chapter 339: Chapter 338: Kick the Bomb [3rd Update, Celebrating Hangmans Birthday, Happy Birthday]Wen Family Hall was teetering on the edge of anger. Lu Xiaobus call came through. Wen Family Hall saw that it was from Xiaobu. His anger intensified. What now? Was this going to be a formal declaration of war? He didnt care anymore, war meant war, whos he afraid of? So, he immediately picked up the call, waiting for Xiaobus words. However. "Uh, sorry for hanging up on you just now! What did you need me for?" Xiaobus casual words echoed through the entire venue. "Uh..." The previously furious Wen Family Hall, hearing this, suddenly felt a bucket of cold water poured from head to toe, anger completely vanished. His face even revealed a bitter smile. He realized that Xiaobu truly had not remembered who he was just now. Though helpless, there was nothing he could do. You, Xiaobu, really act however you please, huh? As a big-shot, can you just casually apologize like this? Especially under these circumstances. Everyone, especially the reporters, were all watching. So, he quickly said: "Xiaobu, nothing urgent for now, lets find time to meet and talk, alright? Lets leave it at that for today!" He had to stem the losses. It no longer mattered who was right or wrong. Otherwise, the more this went on, who knows how the reporters would overinterpret their conversation. If it really escalates to declaring war, that would be troublesome! "Dont hang up! What do you mean by leaving it halfway? If theres an issue, just say it." Xiaobu continued, "I dont like being left hanging." Wen Family Hall felt like dying, this Xiaobu, truly is Fine, trying to stem losses now was uncontrollable. A reporter stood up and loudly said: "Mr. Xiaobu, I am a reporter from the Eastern Economic Report, my name is Su Feng, could I ask you a few questions?" The voice reached Xiaobus ears, and he suddenly frowned: "Wen Family Hall, where are you? Why are there reporters?!" Wen Family Hall was helpless: "Xiaobu, turn on the Magic City TV and youll see." Su Luoxue hurriedly went to turn on the TV. Instantly, Wen Family Halls face appeared on the screen, it was a close-up shot. "Damn, youre on a live broadcast! Why didnt you say so earlier, why are you calling me?!" Xiaobu cursed immediately, and just as he was about to hang up "I..." Wen Family Hall was driven mad! No way, Xiaobu! You didnt know it was a live broadcast before, thats one thing, but now you know and youre still cursing up a storm?! The whole country heard that. This was his first time officially interacting with Xiaobu, and he was completely flabbergasted by Xiaobus carefree and unconventional communication style. From what he knew, at their level of status, learning the most basic etiquette and polite communication was a must, right? After all, you cant guarantee whether the person youre talking to has an ulterior motive. If they set you up, who could bear it? But look at Xiaobu? Knowing it was a live broadcast, he still cursed! Hearing Xiaobu was about to hang up, the reporter Su Feng couldnt hold back anymore. He launched a verbal barrage! "May I ask Mr. Xiaobu, when you said earlier that you didnt know Mr. Wen from Wen Family Hall, was that true or was it intentional?" "Or are you deliberately trying to mock Mr. Wen from Wen Family Hall?" "You are a prodigal son, you may not care about the curse words online, but Mister of the Wen Family Hall does care! Are you trying to drag Mister of the Wen Family Hall down?!" "Let me say this, Im sorry, I dont mean any slander, what Im saying is the fact." "What does your apology mean? Does it express that Lu Group is submitting to Mister of the Wen Family Hall?!" "You deliberately called, is it to express that the Lu Group is still not capable of contending with Mister of the Wen Family Hall?!" "Lastly, shouldnt you give an explanation for the public cursing you just did?!" "Do you think that just because youve achieved a miracle nobody else has, you can look down on everyone else? You can disregard the feelings of the public?! Is that the kind of attitude that should be encouraged?!" "Some say your company is a fusion of wolf culture and sheep culture, is this the quality youve combined?" "Please answer!" Su Feng bombarded with an exceptionally sharp series of questions, which poured forth instantly. Each question was incredibly systematic, incredibly piercing. Each of these questions was laden with a strong scent of gunpowder! It was impossible not to question his intentions! Provoking discord! This is what they, as journalists, do most often, avoiding being fobbed off and played with by the interviewee by posing razor-sharp questions, thus obtaining the news they want! However! That is others! When has Lu Xiaobu ever played with the ball? He has always been kicking bombs! So, upon hearing this series of questions from the journalist, Lu Xiaobu exploded! "Su Luoxue, send out the notice, were heading to Magic City now!" Lu Xiaobu ordered Su Luoxue directly, then spoke to the phone, "Wen Family Hall, do me a favor, keep an eye on that kid! Ill be there right away!" Looking for a scolding, huh! Ill scold you right to your face! Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Wen Family Halls heart skipped a beat! The powder keg is about to explode! From the initial conversation, it was clear that Lu Xiaobu is by no means a person who suffers in silence! So, he hurriedly tried to persuade, "Well, Lu Xiaobu, you..." But before he could finish, Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone! Wen Family Hall knew, it was completely over! So his anger erupted, pointing at the journalist he cursed, "What kind of shitty questions are these? I think youre trying to stir up trouble, with some malicious intent!" He could hardly bear it anymore. What does this mean!? Deliberate provocation?! What good does it do for you if Lu Xiaobu and I fight?! Yet Su Feng still answered with a smug look, "I didnt mean to provoke any discord, Im just asking questions normally! We simply have the right to be informed!" He was happy to hear that Lu Xiaobu was coming. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Perhaps he will become the first one to interview Lu Xiaobu; what an honor?! He doesnt know yet, interviewing Lu Xiaobu, an honor? Ha! "This isnt the kind of question you should be asking at such an event, you should be proper media, not trash media. If you upset me, I will make sure youre upset, too." Wen Family Hall saw that this Su Feng still didnt realize the seriousness of the situation and became even more enraged. Su Feng shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Im not upset at all! Im even a little happy..." He thought it didnt matter, so what if Lu Xiaobu came? Would he dare to curse in front of the entire nation? Use foul language?! He didnt believe it! "Ignorance! Stupidity!" Wen Family Hall shouted loudly, then turned to the summit organizers and said, "Arent you going to contact Lu Xiaobu to explain immediately?! Do you really want Lu Xiaobu to come over?!" However, his words were ignored by the organizers. Oh, wait, not ignored, but appeased. "Okay, okay, we will do that right away." The organizers said very insincerely. They shared the same thought as Su Feng. If Lu Xiaobu came, they would truly become famous! They would be the first summit that Lu Xiaobu attended! A group of ignorant people, still not knowing theyre on the edge of courting death, frantically testing the boundaries! Chapter 342 - 341 Don’t want to listen anymore? No way! [First update] Chapter 342: Chapter 341 Dont want to listen anymore? No way! [First update]"Alright, since you asked me to speak, you better listen well." Lu Xiaobu picked up the microphone, sneering. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, everyone pricked up their ears. They thought they had won. They forced Lu Xiaobu to do as they wished. "Young people should not fear failure, for failure is the mother of success." Lu Xiaobu started with a classic opening. Netizens scoffed at it. "Old tricks, I thought there would be something new." "Typical as always." "These people ah!" "..." The audience also rolled their eyes. Although Lu Xiaobu is unique in many ways, in this regard its all the same! Then. Lu Xiaobu followed with the rest of the sentence: "But success doesnt acknowledge even its own kin!" "Pfft!" With that, those who thought it was the same old trope felt a stab in their heart. "Damn! Thought it was just some soothing soup, turns out the soup is poisoned!" "Holy shit, thats ruthless!" "If success doesnt acknowledge kin, why tell us not to fear failure?" "..." Wen Family Hall slapped their foreheads. Is this how you play the game? Broadcasting toxic motivational speeches live? Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "Whats there to be sad about? Isnt life all about ups and downs..." Netizens nodded. "Its only real when there are ups and downs." "Looks like he was joking just now." "..." Lu Xiaobu paused: "Then, continue to fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall?" "Pfft!" Each mention of "fall" was a stab to the heart, bleeding profusely! "Holy shit, only downfall left, right?" "Are we falling all the way to the Mariana Trench?" "Thats too brutal!" "Its over, my life is in darkness!" "..." Lu Xiaobu sighed: "Well, you only see others thriving on the surface..." Netizens shook their heads and smiled bitterly. They knew what was coming wasnt going to be any ordinary motivational talk. As expected. Lu Xiaobu smiled smugly: "But you dont know that behind the scenes, they also live a life of flourishing success." Countless netizens clutched their hearts, wailing. "Mommy, save me!" "My heart cant take this!" "Its so damn heartbreaking!" "Ah!" "Im wrong, Im wrong, stop talking." "..." Lu Xiaobu sneered, Do you think you can ask me to speak and then tell me to stop at your whim!? Full firepower, continue! "Pay attention to details, start with the little things." "Because you cant handle big tasks." Netizens wailed in agony. "Too blunt! Too heartbreaking!" "Young Master Bu, I beg you, can we stop talking now?!" "..." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, pointing off into the distance: "Life is more than just scraping by..." Then, changing his tone, he spread his hands: "After all, there are invitations from exes." "Pfft! Who has fast-acting heart-saving pills?" "Please call 120 for me, thank you!" "Thats deadly poison! Highly toxic!" "..." Lu Xiaobu sighed: "Actually, even so, we still need to keep trying..." Netizens were stunned. Were we getting back on the right track? "After all, if you dont try hard, you wont know what desperation is!" Lu Xiaobu spread his hands again! "Ah!" Netizens went crazy! They were struck down one by one, lying on the couch like salted fish, not wanting to move! Their hearts were stabbed through, they were already cold! Dont call their names, please call them salted fish! Come on, keep going! Drink this bowl of toxic chicken soup! Continue? Of course, Lu Xiaobu would continue. His toxic chicken soup came one after another. He himself loved drinking toxic chicken soup the most; after finishing, he felt extremely refreshed. "Dont complain that you cant find the right person among a billion people, after all, when you only had four multiple choices, you never got it right either." Salted fish netizens flipped over, holding their chests, continuing to listen. "The bosses who talk about ideals only do so to avoid giving you a raise." Salted fish netizens clutched their hair, continuing to listen. "Theres nothing difficult in the world, only fearsome wealthy people." Salted fish netizens slumped on the sofa, speechlessly listening. "Birds of a feather flock together, people are separated by poverty. Wealthy people end up together." Salted fish netizens announced they had evolved, they are not salted fish anymore, please call them dead fish! "If youre still persevering, it means you arent desperate enough." Dead fish said they werent desperate before, but now, they are! "The best you can do with all your effort may still not compare to someone elses casual attempt." Dead fish netizens said they dont want to turn over, and agreed with you. "You should thank those who knocked you down. Because lying down is very comfortable." Dead fish netizens agreed, only after being knocked down by you, they discovered how comfortable it is to sprawl on the sofa. "Young people, so what if you dont have money now? Youll have plenty of days without money in the future." Dead fish netizens ultra-evolved, mud netizens. "The ugly duckling didnt become a swan from its own effort but because its parents were swans." Mud said, we cant evolve into swans, but we can devolve! "You think just by being pretty, boys will like you? You think just having money pretty girls will throw themselves at you? You think a top student can find a good job? Let me tell you, all of these are true!" Mud said youre right, but they dont feel like talking. "Apart from rich people, there are two other types of people in the world: one saves to buy luxury goods to show off, and the other, even with savings, cant afford luxury goods." Mud: Please call me the latter, thank you! "Life will never courteously wave at you and say, Come here, lets reason this out. Life will only slap you down to the ground and say: Idiot, learn something!" Mud: I know you are the one who knocked me down, Ive already laid down! Ready to take a nap here! Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers: "So, are you full yet?" Comments were slow to respond. Mud stated, they dont want to respond, they just want to die! Wen Family Hall chuckled bitterly on the side. He was truly convinced. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was definitely someone who could bring toxic chicken soup to television. Every word targeting the heart! Netizens are probably heartbroken right now, all wanting to die. "Lastly, let me give you another piece, dont keep thinking about copying success stories. First, think about whether your memory is enough to copy. If not, arent you going to earn money to increase your memory? Even if you manage to copy successfully, tell me, do you have a place to paste it?" "So, dont daydream all the time, unless, like me, you dont care about spending money!" After Lu Xiaobu finished his last sentence, he threw the microphone down and strode away from the conference venue! You asked me to speak, so I spoke. Hope you find it comfortable, hope you enjoy it! Chapter 343 - 342: If You Can’t Resist, Just Enjoy It [2nd Update] Chapter 343: Chapter 342: If You Cant Resist, Just Enjoy It [2nd Update]Lu Xiaobu left, leaving behind a group of journalists drenched in waterfall-like sweat. Too terrifying. Never seen such a venomous billionaire. Arent you worried that youll shred those young people to pieces? Things like "success at the cost of severing all ties." And that "drop, drop, drop, falling endlessly." That "Youre utterly incapable of achieving anything great." You are way too venomous! Are you a demon? Many journalists, eager for a big scoop, started searching online for netizens opinions on this ton of toxic chicken soup. Even though they got sprayed by Lu Xiaobu, a journalist is a journalist; its their occupational instinct. They thought the internet would be filled with criticism. But the result was this. There were criticisms, alright, but even more of the comments were like this: "Refreshing! This toxic chicken soup feels invigorating." "Damn, havent felt this great in a while, never knew toxic chicken soup could taste so good." "After downing this bowl of toxic chicken soup, Ill continue to face-plant tomorrow!" "Life, as it turns out, is full of despair, but still, I choose to go on." "It really stung when I first listened, but as the sting went on, I got used to it. After getting used to it, I even started to enjoy it! Is this what they mean by if you cant resist, might as well enjoy it?" "..." These comments, resembling a phoenix rising from the ashes, left the journalists utterly dumbfounded. Whats going on?! We adults are in unbearable pain listening to it, and you young people are already rising from the ashes?! No way! Werent young people supposed to be fragile? Like flowers in a greenhouse?! Some people, sharing their sentiment, raised this question online. "Why did you recover so quickly? Doesnt it hurt?" Young netizens laughed at this comment. "It hurts, sure, but so what? Isnt that just the harsh reality? Youre already old!" "Yeah, what era do you think it is? The internet has opened our eyes to everything." "Yes! Although toxic chicken soup is poisonous, it keeps you alert and reminds you not to make excuses for yourself; chicken soup may taste good, but it dulls the mind, making you believe that effort alone will solve all problems. In truth, if youre heading in the wrong direction, effort will only steer you further off course." "..." S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Adults reading these comments were taken aback. Then, they all fell silent. It seemed true; from the lost generation to the beat generation to the silent generation, people have always tagged the newcomers with various labels. But theres no denying that each new generation will always grow up. While they were still reflecting on this. An online voting event suddenly started. "Strong demand for Lu Xiaobu to do it again!" "Thats right, Im addicted to toxic chicken soup, you have to take responsibility!" "Im addicted too; it feels wrong not to have it for a day!" "Strong demand for Lu Xiaobu to start a show, a special program for toxic chicken soup!" "Please pour a bucket of cold water on me, extinguish the world of my delusions!" "Toxic chicken soup, the unparalleled soup!" "..." In the end, the toxic chicken soup event actually received over a million votes requesting Lu Xiaobu to dish out more toxic chicken soup. Those organizing conferences and forums were shocked. Their invitations to big shots for lectures hadnt garnered this much popularity! Whats going on with the world? Have they really gotten old? The modern youth, not into success tutorials nor sipping regular chicken soup, have become addicted to toxic chicken soup!? You guys must all be masochists! Lets put them aside, within the Lu Group, the seven CEOsnope, lets just call them the seven gourd brothers from now on. They are currently holding a discussion about Lu Xiaobus recent toxic chicken soup speech. "Sincerely ITs Third Brother voiced a question: "What do you all think is the reason Young Master Bu went to give a speech at the summit? And why the toxic chicken soup?!" "Erwa Create Chinese Website pondered, "Could it be theres something we havent thought of?" "Shadow Mobiles Fourth Brother affirmed, "Thats right, Young Master Bu never does anything pointless." "Brain Black Golds Seventh Brother had an epiphany, "Wait a minute, let me offer a thought. Think along the lines of our Brain Black Golds advertising approach. Now that Xiaobus toxic chicken soup is so popular, shouldnt we use this to boost the sales of a certain product?" "LOLs Sixth Brother furrowed his brows, "Sales? Sales?! Advertising?" "Dawa Cola Companys First Brother had an "aha" moment, slapping his thigh, "It must be for our cola that Young Master Bu did this, think about it! If we print Young Master Bus toxic chicken soup on our cola labels, the sales will definitely skyrocket!" "Sincerely ITs Third Brother suddenly saw the light, "Yes, we can also design a creative label for you, like it looks like chicken soup on the surface, but as soon as the label is peeled off, it turns into toxic chicken soup!" "Dawa Cola Company danced excitedly, "Great, thats the one, weve finally guessed Young Master Bus intentions for the first time! Fantastic!" If Lu Xiaobu were to hear this hed probably be flabbergastedWhat the heck is my new creative idea? What have you guys figured out?! But, whether hes dumbfounded or not... The cola with the new toxic chicken soup labels went on sale! ... Jintailong Supermarket. The supermarket owner was puzzled by the latest batch of colathe labels had changed? There were words on them. And they seemed thicker, too! But anyway, it wasnt his business. After all, cola is cola, and it always sells well. Soon enough, the first batch of customers arrived, heading straight for the cola shelf. The owner frowned, "Is there some kind of promotion going on? Why the rush?" Then, he watched a customer meticulously picking one. This stunned the owner again C isnt cola all the same flavor? Whats there to pick? But well, the customer knows best; he didnt say anything. Finally, the customer made up their mind, grabbed a bottle, and exchanged it for cash. Then, the owner saw... The customer didnt pop open the cola after getting it but started carefully peeling the label. Peeling it bit by bit, just like a gambler reveals their hand. This drove the owner nuts. You buy a drink and dont drink it, instead you fuss over the label, whats up with that?! After a while. The customer finally tore off the label. "Ah!" The customer clutched their chest, letting out a cry. Their expression was indescribably weird, both sad and happy. After catching their breath. The customer sighed, unscrewed the cola to take a sip, and left. The owner was about to lose his mind, what the hell is this?! And just when he thought it was a one-off, other customers in the store nearly all followed the same antics as the first one. Picking a cola, making the purchase, not drinking straight away, tearing the label first, crying out, showing a peculiar face, and eventually drinking. The owner went crazy, unable to contain his curiosity, he grabbed a bottle. He looked at the words on the label C If life deceives you today, dont be sad, dont cry. To the owner, the words seemed pretty good, quite positive. But why the wailing from the customers? He tore the label off like the customers did. The rest of the sentence appeared C because life will continue deceiving you tomorrow! The owner nearly spewed blood three kilometers out! Damn it all! Am I really that idle, just looking for some heartache?! What in the world kind of cola is this?! Chapter 345 - 344: Barbecue Skewers [First Update] Chapter 345: Chapter 344: Barbecue Skewers [First Update]Wang Lai, after finishing his phone call in the security room, came out and said to the Wen Family Hall, "Mr. Wen, please come in. Young Master Bu is on his way out." While saying this, Wang Lai opened the door and stood beside the door frame gesturing for the Wen Family Hall to enter. "Okay." The Wen Family Hall nodded and walked in. The journalists also followed inside. As they walked in, they held their heads high and cast a disdainful look at security guard Wang Lai. See that? The Watchdog still has to let us in, right? A cold smirk appeared on Wang Lais lips by the door frame. After the Wen Family Hall entered, Wang Lai leaned back and stretched his foot to rest against the opposite door frame: "Did I say you could come in? If you want to enter, crawl in!" Thinking he couldnt hear their incessant chatter in the security room, huh! "You!" The journalists faces instantly turned green: "What do you mean by this?!" Not only them, but even the Wen Family Hall was taken aback. Has this security guard gone mad? Blocking the door with his foot in front of journalists at the corporate entrance? Are you sure this wont tarnish your companys reputation? If they write just one article about this, youre probably finished! "What do I mean? The literal meaning," Wang Lai said while yawning: "Reporters like you who harbor ill will towards the Lu Group, just stay at the door! Also, one more piece of advice for you, our finance manager is arriving soon, better scram!" "Manager?! The finance manager?" The journalists eyes lit up at once. Watchdog, youre digging your own grave. We wont bother with a Watchdog like you; well go straight to your leaders to complain! Let them dock your pay! We dont believe that the leaders of Lu Group would dare to ignore the consequences?! They immediately looked around and soon saw a man dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a white-collar worker, walking towards them. This must be the finance manager the security guard was talking about. Seeing the expressions of the journalists, Wang Lai shook his head and wore a pitiful look. "Youre the finance manager of Lu Group, right? Your security guard wont let us in! And he has done something that could damage your companys image. Arent you going to address this? If this gets reported, it could harm your corporations image," one of the male journalists started making things difficult with an imposing tone. The finance manager frowned upon hearing this. Seeing the bosss expression change, the male journalist immediately turned back with a provocative look at the security guard, still maintaining his positionWatchdog, youre finished! With that attitude, even without a complaint from me, youre likely to get dealt with! Wang Lai saw the provoking look of the journalist, sneered, shook his head, and remained silent. Lets see whos really finished here. This finance manager is a fitness fanatic, always looking for a fight. "Looking for death!" The finance manager suddenly reprimanded. "Did you hear that? Hes talking about you, looking for death!" The male journalist, swelling with self-importance, pointed at the security guard and said, "Come here and apologize now." "Im talking to you!" The finance manager rebuked again. "Huh?!" The male journalist looked confused and pointing at himself asked, "You mean me?" No way, you cant be talking to me? Im not from your company! "Nonsense!" The finance manager took off his suit and then his shirt, revealing his muscular body. "Pfft!" Seeing the muscular frame of their leader, Wen Family Hall almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Whats going on, are you the finance manager or a fitness trainer? Why do you look like that once you take off your clothes? All muscles?! Dont you ever work?! Just keep fit?! The finance manager grabbed the male journalist in an embrace: "Come on, lets talk about life!" "Ah?! No, please no!" The male journalist lost his mind! What on earth is happening? Your companys employee messed up, and without any question, youre going to beat me up?! What did I even do?! Everyone in your company is a bunch of lunatics! Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hes gone insane, and the Wen Family Hall is dumbfounded! Thats not right! Even if it was a reporters mistake, how did this leader know about it? He couldnt hold back anymore, and blurted out a question. "Hey, security brother, why did your leader attack the reporter without saying a word?!" He, the top of the Third Level Rich List, is stooping to ask a security guard. "Theres no need to ask," Wang Lai shrugged and said, "According to our companys rules, no matter who is right or wrong, those who tattle-tale should get beaten up." "Pfft!" The Wen Family Hall wants to die! What the hell is this rule?! And besides, the reporters arent from your company, right? Why would you beat them up? "Is this Lu Xiaobus doing?" Wen Family Hall continued to ask. "Nope, we made up the rule ourselves, Young Master Bu doesnt bother with us," Wang Lai muttered, "Young Master Bu is all good, but just too lazy, utterly lacking humanity, spending all day either sleeping or gaming and distributing money, never caring to manage us." Listening to the guards nagging, the corners of Wen Family Halls mouth twitched. What? Employees complaining about the boss not managing? Dont you all yearn for freedom? At that moment, another guy in a security uniform ran over from within the venue, holding two skewers: "Director, your grilled kidneys are ready, mildly spicy." "Pfft!" Wen Family Hall, smelling the aroma of the skewers, twitched at the mouth. Skewers?! Isnt it working hours now, where did these skewers come from?! And also, how did you run out from inside the company? Could it be the company cafeteria making skewers? Thats not right, what company would prepare such a thing?! And this guys title, Director?! Wen Family Hall furrowed his brows and looked around. Director? Is there a director here? How come I didnt see any? Then, he saw the new security guy handing the skewers to Wang Lai blocking the door, "Director, your clothes are still not dry, wait a bit more! Theyre being roasted." "No worries, not in a rush," said Wang Lai, taking a bite of the skewer nonchalantly. Then he looked at Wen Family Hall, "Director Wen, want one?" "Youre the director?!" Wen Family Hall asked Wang Lai, shockingly, dressed in a security uniform, blocking the door, and eating skewers. Directors are top company management! Now youre telling me a security guard is a director?! What kind of director?! Security director?! In the world, is there such a thing? "Ah, Im the technical director," Wang Lai nodded and said, "Just now when I went fishing, I accidentally fell into the water, got my clothes wet, was too lazy to change, so I put on this security uniform, and decided to take a shift." "I" Wen Family Hall is having a meltdown! What?! What time is it now? Normal companies, shouldnt they all be in meetings right now?! Arranging work, summarizing progress, and so on and so forth. But you? What the devil is fishing?! Arent you supposed to be working? Having meetings? And also, youre a damn technical director, why are you acting as a security guard?! If youre the security guard, then what is the real security guard doing? He saw the real security guard who had just arrived and understoodI get it now, your security guards have gone off to grill skewers, havent they! Are you all nuts? Security guards go grill skewers, technical director acting as a security guard?! Chapter 346 - 345 Thoughts? Dare Not Ponder [Second Update] Chapter 346: Chapter 345 Thoughts? Dare Not Ponder [Second Update]Not only has Wen Family Hall gone mad. The reporters at the door have gone mad too! Holy shit! Holy shit! A big holy shit! What in the world is going on!? What on earth!? A muscled financial director dragging one of their peers away to chat about life? A senior management technical director acting as a security guard at the door and cursing people out? And the actual security guards are off skewering meat!? Is this place a company or what?! Is it?! Really?! Are you sure?! Wen Family Hall, looking at the technical director feasting on skewers, had a belly full of questions he wanted to ask. And just at this moment. The technical director set down his leg, stood up straight, and looked behind Wen Family Hall: "Greetings, Young Master Bu." "Ah, yes, hello hello." Dressed in casual clothes and yawning, Lu Xiaobu walked out. Wen Family Hall was speechless upon seeing Lu Xiaobus attire. This was their first formal meeting, and he had come fully prepared. This was evident from his formal attire. But what about Lu Xiaobu? Why was he dressed in casual clothes, looking like hed just woken up? You really dont welcome me, do you! Lu Xiaobu approached... The first thing he did... He took a skewer from the technical director Wang Lais hand. Then, while eating, he reached out a hand and said, "Hello, Wen Family Hall." "Lu Xiaobu, we meet again." Wen Family Hall finished his sentence with a twitching corner of his mouth. He looked at Lu Xiaobus greasy hands, his whole being radiating a message of resistance. Lu Xiaobu, couldnt you have shaken my hand before grabbing a skewer to eat?! Wait! The issue is not about shaking hands first or not. Its why on earth your first impulse was to go for the skewers!? Do you think skewers are more important than seeing me?! Despite his thoughts, Wen Family Hall still reluctantly shook hands with Lu Xiaobu, with a twitching smile. Great, a greasy hand! Lu Xiaobu handed the autograph back to technical director saying, "Theres too little chili, its tasteless." "Got it, I will remember to add more chili next time." Technical director Wang Lai nodded, pulling out a little notebook and jotting it down! Wen Family Hall felt like dying, he was ignored again! Skewers, skewers, and bloody skewers again! In your eyes, am I less important than skewers?! And you, technical director, are you the damn skewer director?! Even pulling out a notebook to take note?! Is everyone in your company nuts?! It was only now that Lu Xiaobu looked at Wen Family Hall and said, "What do you want to see? Ill take you there." "I want to see the skewers!" Wen Family Hall said through gritted teeth. His mind must have snapped from the irritation! He really wanted to see what the deal was with Lu Groups skewers! "Sure, lets go." Lu Xiaobu shrugged and began walking with Wen Family Hall. They hadnt walked two steps before they stumbled. And then. Wen Family Hall felt like an idiot. Because he had actually seen a bunch of bonfires! Yes, bonfires! There were actually bonfires inside Lu Group?! No, what on earth is your group up to? Why would there be something like a bonfire?! Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And moreover, the area was filled with people? Some were on their phones, some skewering meat, and some exercising. The most infuriating thing is, there are actually freaking several tents next to it?! What the hell are you guys doing?! Camping?! "Lu Xiaobu, can you explain to me, whats all this about?" Wen Family Hall was even trembling as he spoke! He just couldnt understand how there could be a bonfire inside a luxurious, magnificent corporate building. Right, and tents too! "Grilling skewers! What else should we be doing while idle?" Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said. "Arent you working?" Wen Family Hall still looked bewildered. "Of course we are! Weve finished work! This is the Lu Group headquarters, not some branch office; how much could there possibly be to do?" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said: "Anyway, every day if its not making reports, its making summaries, all just wasting time; might as well grill some skewers." "I!" Wen Family Hall felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. What youre saying is so right, I have no words to counter. Yes, just as youve said, senior executives are usually making reports, making summaries, holding meetings. But isnt this precisely what senior executives are supposed to do?! Now your company grills skewers every day, may I ask, can you still get things done properly? Just as he was in doubt, suddenly someone shouted: "Works here, everyone get moving." Then, Wen Family Hall saw that those employees who had been busy with their own things had their eyes light up instantly, just like hungry wolves spotting food, all of them stood up immediately. Wen Family Hall watched as people who were skewering a second ago now systematically analyzing and summarizing, giving orders, assigning tasks. Shock appeared in his eyes. How is this possible? Such efficiency?! What does this signify? This indicates that these people actually had already completed their prep work; the company information, the competitors information, their own company personnel situations, and so on and on was all memorized by heart. To sum it up in one sentence, it seems chaotic, but in actuality, its extremely orderly. Absolutely orderly! This so-called chaos is actually a form of confidence; they are confident that they can resolve any sudden incidents in the shortest time possible! A corporate group can actually achieve such a state?! Seeing this scene, he suddenly lost the desire to continue the tour. Because theres no need. The superficial stuff, Lu Group doesnt care about, theres nothing to learn from, he cant possibly let his employees grill skewers every day like the Lu Group! And the fundamental stuff, he couldnt learn even if he tried! This tour was really meaningless! Havent learned anything. ... Wen Family Hall had no interest in continuing the tour, and Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to take him around either. The two hit it off and decided to find a place to sip tea and chat instead. Well, the shortest in history and also the most screwed-up tour. ... After Wen Family Halls tour ended, the reporters blocked him at the door, insisting he share his thoughts. After all, they came for an interview. If they couldnt even ask one question without entering the door, then they might as well pack up and roll out. "Wen, tell us, share your thoughts on your tour of Lu Group!" a female reporter asked. "Thoughts? I dare not think!" Wen Family Halls mouth twitched. He commanded his bodyguards to forcefully break through the crowd and leave! A whole bunch of leaders not working every day, some fishing, some exercising, the rest grilling skewers C seriously, which of you dares to imagine such a company? No freaking way anyone dares to think about it. He definitely wont reveal what he saw and heard. If this leaks out, especially to his own company, and the employees also ask him to start a bonfire, he wouldnt be able to do it. After all, hes well aware of what kind of people he has under him. To have them ready to fight at a moments notice when work comes in? Dont even think about it! Wen Family Hall left, and the reporters were all dumbfounded. "What the heck?" "I asked him for his thoughts, and he tells me he dares not think?!" "Did he get infected by Lu Xiaobu?!" "No way, he only went in for a few minutes and got infected?!" "..." Chapter 348 - 347: Direct Confrontation [First Update] Chapter 348: Chapter 347: Direct Confrontation [First Update]Before Lu Xiaobu received the video of the speech condemning him. The previous comments supporting Lu Xiaobu online had been completely drowned out. "Still say theres no poisoning? Do you even look like young people anymore? All day long, nothing but swearing!" "Yes, cursing when opening their mouth and spewing offensive words when closing their mouth, how many normal adults talk in obscenities every day?" "No self-love or self-respect, you have thrown away all those traditions!" "Teacher Zhu is right, we should resist negative energy and promote positive energy." "I once read an article detailing the differences between people who live with positive energy and those with negative energy, the latter approach life negatively while the former lead a positive life." "Yes, listening to all that negative energy is heartbreaking, successful people forgetting their families? Constant ups and downs? Are you all that pessimistic?!" "This is just like Teacher Zhu said, Lu Xiaobu is leading the youth to not work hard, not to strive, and to maintain a negative state of life!" "This is wrong, we must resist this negative energy!" "..." Similar comments kept growing online, and after a while, a large number of people joined in the discussion, leading those who were originally respected to be swayed by such public opinion and become silent. These are all matters of righteousness; no one can say theyre incorrect. Can you say promoting positive energy is wrong? Can you say resisting negative energy is wrong? No! Although anyone with clear eyes can see, this isnt about any damn discussion of positive or negative energy, its just commercial competition between two beverage companies. But if they dont mention this perspective, what can you do? So, in the time before Lu Xiaobu watched the video, he had unknowingly become a public enemy on the internet! "Resist negative energy, resist Lu Xiaobu from corrupting the children!" "Request to remove negative energy Cola from the shelves!" "Give us a clean and pure life!" "Our spiritual world should no longer be insulted." "..." Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liang Lan squinted her eyes looking at all this, furious boiling inside her: "Marks of internet army are obvious, traces of sponsored articles are clear, their tactics are well learned, looks like our opponents were prepared!" She was clear-minded about it. That so-called positive energy beverage company, they were using their tactics against them. The prior issues like packaging color and labels were minor, but now hiring an internet army, spreading comparative advertisements of positive and negative energy, isnt this exactly Lu Groups previous tactics? This was simply blatant shamelessness, the clear intention of Lu Group, they were targeting you! Actually, if it were just the above, that would be part of competition. But what they shouldnt have done was to deliberately direct the focus towards Young Master Bu! This wasnt competition anymore, it was defamation! Cola Companys Dawa was both furious and regretful beside him: "Young Master Bu, this is my fault, this plan was my idea, but they targeted you, I will go and explain." "Whats there to explain?" Lu Xiaobu gestured with his hand: "I dont care if this was your plan, since you are one of mine, Ill protect you!" Then, he sneered coldly: "But, I must say, the other party really has guts! To actually dare to mess with me! Do they think Im easy to bully?!" In this day and age, really, people are reckless for money. He couldnt remember how many times this was, every time there was someone specifically targeting him to cause trouble. What? Just because he is easy to bully? Everyone wants to trample and skyrocket to the top, huh?! Yes, indeed, if they actually manage to trample me down and use me as a stepping stone, they indeed can skyrocket. But can you really do it?! Am I not spreading positive energy, you say? Watch me, Young Master here will demonstrate some real positive energy for you! "System, stop reading novels and come out." Lu Xiaobu said to the system. "Whats up? Im really hooked on it right now. That cliffhanger writer did it again. By the way, when are you gonna help me deal with them?!" The system muttered. "Find me some of that positive energy stuff that doesnt exist in this world. Preferably the kind that educates the youth!" Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to argue with this lazy entity. He had figured it out; as long as hes fine, the system wouldnt bother him unless theres nothing else to do! "Sure, one million per piece." The system said nonchalantly: "Dont complain about the price, after all, I need to check each one to make sure theres no repetition or similarity in this world, which would be a hassle." "One million it is, no big deal, just find it." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. One million, for him now, one million is indeed no big deal. "Alright, watch out." The system immediately said excitedly, about to make a big profit. Cough, cough, cough, no, thats not right, not making profit, its a loss-making deal, yes, a loss-making business, got it?! Dont talk nonsense, especially dont tell Lu Xiaobu! The system went off to stir up trouble. Lu Xiaobu then opened his Weibo that he hadnt logged onto for a long time. Sure enough, his Weibo was besieged again. His Weibo gets overrun every day, really, thousands of words couldnt compare to a single curse! However, slightly better than the outside world, many of his Weibo followers were quite rational, always fighting against those easily swayed by public opinion. "Lu Xiaobu is such a moral degenerate, unexplained! Just waiting for the degenerates to defend!" "Not explaining? You mean you dare not explain, right! Lu Xiaobu immoral? Lu Xiaobu has been one of the top ten outstanding youths in the province! Also recognized across the strait as an ambassador promoting national unification, you say Lu Xiaobu is immoral? What qualifies you?!" "Lu Xiaobu promoting negative energy is foolish, leading the youths astray!" "Lets not even discuss whether Lu Xiaobu is really spreading negative energy! Which is more important, doing or saying? Where were you guys when Lu Xiaobu was saving a child?! Now you become moral judges just because he made a few jesting remarks!?" "So what if he saved a person? Its still expected!" "Saving people is expected?! Why havent I seen you saving anyone!? Its really as if having a keyboard means you can spout nonsense!" "I really dont want to talk about you morons anymore! Each of you devoid of IQ, cant you see that so-called speech was just to promote some positive energy drink?!" "Idiot, defender dogs! Did Lu Xiaobu pay you?! How much? Come on, call me daddy, daddy will give you more!" "Your poor vocabulary reveals your intelligence! I reckon youre the internet troll!" "..." Lu Xiaobu, looking at these comments from followers who could still discern right from wrong, felt somewhat touched inside. "No worries, guys, arent there people saying I dont spread positivity? Since they are saying that, lets show them! Young Master is not afraid of anyone!" Lu Xiaobu twisted his neck! Positive energy?! My positivity will make you too ashamed to raise your head, believe it or not!? Chapter 349 - 348 Lowering Flags and Silencing Drums [Second Update] Chapter 349: Chapter 348 Lowering Flags and Silencing Drums [Second Update]Seeing Lu Xiaobu posted on Weibo, his supporters suddenly found their backbone! "The trolls are here, and our Young Master Bu never dodges a battle!" "Thats right, let them see what true positive energy is!" "Dont think you can show off here just because you learned the phrase failure is the mother of success!" "Young Master Bu said, let you guys know what real positive energy is!" "..." Theyve found their backbone, and those brainless idiots immediately went to find their own! That guy who publicly gave a speech scolding Lu Xiaobu! His name is Zhu Zhixi. His credentials are pretty intimidating, mentioning Harvard University, Department of Philosophy graduate, and a double PhD from Cambridge University. Plus, hes listed as a guest professor at some big university, with a lengthy bio that makes your head spin. I wont go into details, and wont chase after whether its true or false. Basically, in one sentence, this guy is impressive, at least he appears that way. This is also one of the reasons many people follow his lead! Zhu Zhixi seeing Lu Xiaobu "bubble up", didnt avoid it but chose to confront him head-on. But, the tone he used made people uncomfortable. "Knowing your mistakes and correcting them is true goodness. Young people, its better to promote real positive energy. But remember, positive energy is not just grandiose nonsense; it needs depth and implications!" Look at how he said it, all high and mighty, acting like hes lecturing the younger generation! Constantly calling him a young man, emphasizing depth. Translated into plain words it goes like this Kid, dont overestimate yourself; Ive consumed more salt than you have eaten rice! Zhu Zhixi posted this on Weibo and smirked. Yes, the above translation is exactly what he meant! Hes not bluffing; he prepared for this for a long time, studying and analyzing famous quotes from ancient and modern times. As long as Lu Xiaobu dares to say any of them, he can rebut them and express better and more correct statements. Thats his confidence. Hearing Zhu Zhixis Weibo. His brainless supporters also got tough. "Did you hear that, Lu Xiaobu? Thats what a real educator says, learn a thing or two!" "Teacher Zhu is also for your own good, dont fight over your ability!" "You should listen more to Teacher Zhus lectures! Youre a student too, why cause trouble for yourself?" "..." Zhu Zhixis side, everyone looked down on Lu Xiaobu, even waiting for him to embarrass himself regarding his positive energy. But Lu Xiaobus side did not retaliate much. Honest to say, they were also somewhat lacking confidence in Lu Xiaobu. Although Young Master Bu often creates miracles, he has never been known to talk about literary stuff. Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, Young Master Bus best skill is cursing people, and suddenly hes supposed to educate people. They really are lacking confidence! However, just when everyone doubted him. Lu Xiaobus first statement of positive energy came out. "In the journey of life, there is one path that everyone must take, and that is the detour of youth. Without falling down, hitting the walls, experiencing some head-breaking and blood-shedding, how can one develop an iron frame, and how can one grow?" This was something the system found for Lu Xiaobu on Earth, it doesnt exist here! Profound in meaning. When this was said! Instantly, the noisy internet fell into a short silence. Everyone was savoring this sentence carefully. Then. The internet burst into applause! "Great! This statement truly has strength!" "Yes, it looks simple and straightforward, but its full of power!" "All the elders like to share their experiences with young people, but if young people just follow the instructions step by step, are they still young?" "Young people need to have the drive, the audacity, not afraid of taking detours, even if it means head-breaking and blood-shedding. What we gain is growth!" "Just like Lu Xiaobu said before, those toxic motivational quotes, poisonous? Severely! But if you withstand them and get through, what you gain will be a strong heart, unbreakable and indestructible by others!" "Who says Lu Xiaobu cant be positively energetic, come out!" "Yeah! Just this one sentence is worth more than the hundreds of times you guys repeat failure is the mother of success!" "Zhu Zhixi, come out and talk!" "..." However, Zhu Zhixis Weibo remained silent! Talk?! He wont say shit! He has never heard such a phrase! How can he offer advice on something he has never heard? If he advises wrongly, wouldnt that be like lifting a rock to crush his own feet? At last, all he could do was post a Weibo: "Worthy of praise, youth is to be feared!" Still that lofty tone, expressing admiration towards Lu Xiaobu as a senior! This kind of swollen-faced pretending and the condescending tone of schooling others made people very uncomfortable! Seeing that Zhu Zhixi had posted on Weibo. Those from Zhu Zhixis camp immediately followed suit. "Not bad, it seems Lu Xiaobu isnt entirely ignorant! At least thats something!" "Young people should be like this, although not comparable to Teacher Zhu, but at least there are some correct ideas!" "Worthy of praise, being praised by Teacher Zhu, Lu Xiaobu you must be excited!" "..." These words infuriated those who supported Lu Xiaobu! "If you cant speak, then dont pretend to be a know-it-all!" "Teaching Young Master Bu?! What right do you have?!" "All of you posing here? And Young Master Bu excited? Excited my ass!" "A bunch of imbeciles!" "..." Lu Xiaobu was also amused by the anger. Not bad! Still pretending? Pretend well, are you acting as my teacher?! Well, you better sit tight, be careful not to be kicked off by me! The system continued to send Xiaobu positive energies about youth. Suddenly, Lu Xiaobus Weibo exploded. "Youth is the time for cultivating habits, hopes, and beliefs!" This is said by Ruskin on Earth. The netizens were slightly stunned upon seeing this deep and meaningful statement. Not bad! "What you plant in youth, you will harvest in old age." This was said by Ibsen on Earth. Netizens swallowed hard. No way, they hadnt heard it at all! Could these incredibly heart-stirring phrases all be written by Lu Xiaobu himself?! Does Lu Xiaobu really have such high literary standards?! "Young people! For the sake of future memories, carefully outline the picture of your present." This was said by Bing Xin. Netizens mouths twitched, theres more!? Wait, besides being a negative energy vending machine, are you also a positive energy printer?! "Youth can first turn the Heavenly Dynasty into a vocal one: speak boldly, act bravely, forget all consequences, and express your true feelings by pushing aside the ancients!" This was said by Lu Xun. "Pfft!" All the netizens spit out a mouthful of old blood! They were convinced! They had nothing to say; any of these phrases were worth a hundred times more than the phrase failure is the mother of success. Theres so much said already! They simply have no right to critique or comment! They could only look up to their Teacher Zhu! However, could their Teacher Zhu even comment adequately?! Chapter 354 - 352 Preparing to Float Home [First Update] Chapter 354: Chapter 352 Preparing to Float Home [First Update]The news with clear target that had been mentioned before was published in newspapers and online, and it immediately caused a sensation across society. The unscrupulous journalists tactics have been mentioned before; they can easily twist public opinion and clear themselves by simply writing a couple inconspicuous "according to speculations" or "based on revelations from informed netizens". Whats more, these words are now coming from Zhu Zhixis mouth. Thus, things have blown up. "Lu Xiaobu bribed Teacher Zhu?! And threatened?!" "Such actions are absolutely unforgivable!" "Too shameless! I never imagined Lu Xiaobu was this kind of person." "You can be shameless as a person, but being totally without a bottom line is too much." "Im turning from fan to hater; I used to firmly support Lu Xiaobu and felt that Xiaobus root was noble, but now... haha!" "Being rich really is amazing!" "What nonsense are you talking? Didnt you see the newspaper wrote its according to speculation? This might not be true at all. When has Lu Xiaobu ever done anything like bribery?" "How can it not be true? You must be from Lu Group! Teacher Zhu Zhixi is even preparing to attend the Student Education Day, what does that tell you? It means this is sanctioned from above." "Right! Would someone who educates primary and secondary school students talk nonsense? And to think hes attending despite being injured, this highlights even more the difference between two people!" "Boycott Lu Xiaobu, no explanation needed!" "..." Right now online, its become completely one-sided, and those who support Lu Xiaobu are afraid to speak out. After all, the current situation is too unfavorable for Lu Xiaobu. This news reached the Lu Group. Everyone was furious. "What the hell, this is utter nonsense! Young Master Bu bribing someone like Zhu Zhixi? Does he even have the qualification?" "These unscrupulous journalists, they truly deserve a beating!" "Young Master Bu would use money to bribe someone? What a joke?!" "Damn it, we should confront them! Are they really ignorant about how united the people of Lu Group are?" "..." "Alright, keep it down, were not allowed to make any public statements right now, try not to stir up further conflict." Several CEOs were saying roughly the same thing: "Believe in Young Master Bu, the moment you start a conflict, it will really spark a fight! You can imagine what kind of things Young Master Bu would do!" "Give Young Master Bu some time to solve the issue in the right way." ... The organizers of the Student Education Day are in a meeting. The person in charge, Hou Long, was fretting and racking his brain: "Are there really no suitable candidates left? With so many people in the education sector, does no one have the time?!" The speakers for Education Day had already been scheduled a month ago. Zhu Zhixi was to speak at the opening ceremony. And a highly respected elderly principal was slated for the closing ceremony. The scripts had been reviewed three times. But! The elderly principal suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, making it impossible for him to attend. This threw them into a dilemma, where could they possibly find a replacement on such short notice? People in the education sector are all highly respected; without prior notification and preparation, no one dares to neglect the childrens education! And that Zhu Zhixi, manipulating others and now even involving them. Hes actually using Education Day to cause trouble! According to principles, such a person should be disqualified outright. However... Now that they cant even find a replacement for the elderly principal, to disqualify Zhu Zhixi as well... Without the two key figures, the Education Day would become a complete joke. It wouldnt just be a joke, but it might even be uncertain whether it could be held at all. After all, how does this look from above? Oh, so this is your preparation for Education Day? Replacing people at the last minute, treating Education Day like a game?! Can you even do your job? If not, get lost! Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. To avoid the situation of getting lost. So, they can only pinch their noses to drink the bitter medicine, grit their teeth and bear it! After sternly warning Zhu Zhixi not to talk about those irrelevant topics, otherwise he should take the matter seriously, and having received Zhu Zhixis promise. Only then did they shift their focus to finding a substitute for the old principal for the opening and closing ceremonies! The opening and closing ceremonies are the two most important parts, indispensable indeed! "Theres really no one left, its not about qualifications, its just that theyre not prepared and wont come up!" The person in charge, Yang Fei, also had a face full of frustration. Why does every issue have to come to them!? "Call a few more university presidents, beg them, I personally will beg! Is that okay?" Hou Long slapped the table and shouted, "Why is it so difficult!? Several university presidents, cant they even hold a speech?" "Ive called, its useless! Pleaded with all that needed pleading." Yang Fei sighed. "Each of them has their own considerations, and the most important point among these considerations is..." "What is it? Speak up!" Hou Long jumped up anxiously: "Were in a crisis, and youre still playing coy?!" "Its because of Lu Xiaobu!" Yang Fei finally spoke up: "I checked, and during the LOL college league, the principals of various colleges owed Lu Xiaobu a small favor." "Now Zhu Zhixi and Lu Xiaobu are at odds, support for either one would be inappropriate." "Actually, if it had been decided a month ago, then it would be fine, after all, it was unavoidable, and could be explained." "But now what? Its all set in stone, its spread everywhere! If they accept our invitation at this time, wouldnt that be openly turning against Lu Xiaobu?" "Who would want to do such a thankless job?" Hearing Yang Feis explanation, Hou Long fell silent. In his heart, he despised Zhu Zhixi for openly making trouble with such matters. Truly audacious to the extreme! Look at all the rumors outside, as if were supporting him! Even, there was an unspoken suspicion in his heart did the old principals hospitalization really have something to do with Zhu Zhixi?! All of this was just too coincidental! Thinking of this, he clenched his teeth, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Want to play, huh? Well, Im going all in! "Notify Lu Xiaobu, have him come for the closing ceremony speech!" Hou Long slammed the table and shouted. "What!?" Yang Fei jumped in shock: "Leader, are you crazy?! Have Lu Xiaobu come? And to have one at the closing and the other at the opening? Are they going to fight?!" "What else can we do? This way is better! At least it spares us the outside world labeling us, saying we support Zhu Zhixi, we support nothing!" Hou Long was so angry he even cursed out loud, who knew how big of a scapegoat he had become. "What about Lu Xiaobus temperament? What if..." Yang Fei was still worried, Lu Xiaobu had done too many things others wouldnt dare to do. "I believe in Lu Xiaobu!" Hou Long said through gritted teeth: "Although sometimes his methods are indeed unconventional, he has never been wrong on major principles. Give me the phone, Ill talk to him personally, hell surely understand." "It can only be so!" Yang Fei thought for awhile, and it seemed that was the only way. Hopefully, Lu Xiaobu can remain rational! And so, the large stage that Lu Xiaobu wanted has come! The time to clarify and wash away injustices has arrived. Zhu Zhixi, lets take our time. When you lose your aura, you and your backers can just drift on home. Why drift? What do you think? Chapter 355 - 354 Want to Slap to Death [2nd Update] Chapter 355: Chapter 354 Want to Slap to Death [2nd Update]Lu Xiaobu received a call from Hou Long and nodded. It seems that Luck Aura still works, it was worth spending three billion to activate Luck Aura. As for the request from Hou Long during the call, he naturally agreed without hesitation. Because what he wanted was not to fight or curse. As Hou Long and the others said, when it comes to major principles, he could distinguish them clearly. He would not take childrens education as a joke. All he wanted was a stage, to justify himself, thats all! When Lu Xiaobu was invited to participate in the Education Day, the announcement immediately caused a huge uproar. There were strong objections! "This is nonsense! Messing around!" "Why should someone like Lu Xiaobu participate in Education Day, to corrupt the children?!" "If its like this, I wont let my child watch that speech!" "Absolutely not!" "..." There were also those who watched for the fun. "Shout out, this is going to be interesting." "Zhu Zhixi vs Lu Xiaobu?" "Is this going to be a public showdown? If these two start fighting, itll really be entertaining." "I feel like its going to happen, Lu Xiaobu is uncontrollable!" "..." And there were those who finally found the opportunity to support Lu Xiaobu strongly. "Support! This decision is absolutely correct!" "Those who say Lu Xiaobu is unqualified, please go get a national college entrance examination top scorer to compare, thank you!" "Not just a top scorer, but also qualifications as a peace ambassador of cross-strait relations, as well as one of the top ten outstanding youths, Ill wait for you to bring them!" "Even if we dont talk about those major aspects, just the positive energy statements Lu Xiaobu has posted on Weibo qualify him!" "..." The internet was in an uproar. But whether it was Lu Xiaobu, Zhu Zhixi, or even the organizers of the Education Day, none of them gave any response. Zhu Zhixi was too frightened. Lu Xiaobu was disdainful. Education Day couldnt react. Let time handle everything! However, thanks to the public spat between the two prominent figures, the attention on Education Day had received an unprecedented boost. Not only were students paying attention, but adults were too! The viewership of Education Day was sure to soar! Of course, provided that there were no mishaps. ... However, one person was furious! It was Wei Hai! "F*ck! Whats going on? Why is Lu Xiaobu taking the stage?!" Wei Hai shouted angrily. All his efforts were nearly destroyed by this insane decision! A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes; it seemed that he couldnt just let things take their natural course. He would have to resort to some tactics! ... On the day of the Education Day. Lu Xiaobu arrived at the entrance of the venue. The chief organizer, Hou Long, personally came out to greet him. "I am honoured, can I call you Xiaobu?" Hou Long said with a warm smile. Lu Xiaobus reputation was very high above, otherwise, they wouldnt have approved his application so quickly. Of course, along with the approval came a notice that Lu Xiaobu must control his temper. "Of course, should I call you Brother Hou or Uncle Hou?" Lu Xiaobu also wore a smile. "Brother Hou! Im not that old yet! We are of the same generation! Hahaha!" Hou Long was increasingly pleased with Lu Xiaobu. Look at Lu Xiaobu, then look at Zhu Zhixi. Theres really a huge difference! "Alright, lets go with Brother Hou, though it kind of feels like something out of Journey to the West." Lu Xiaobu politely responded. "By the way, did you memorize your script?" Hou Long asked. "I memorized it, do you want me to recite some?" Lu Xiaobu immediately began: "College is an essential experience in life..." Lu Xiaobu rattled off a long string. Hou Longs face grew even more satisfied. They really didnt choose the wrong person. Being able to memorize the script in such a short time showed that Lu Xiaobu was really putting his heart into it. Very good, very good! "Lets go, lets go in!" Hou Long said happily. But what he didnt know was: "Host, youre such a scammer, asking for psychological damage compensation from me. You asked me to memorize the script, but ended up making me do it." The system complained. "Anyway, you can remember it with just one glance, whats there to memorize, really." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and ignored the systems complaint. Yes, it was the system that was prompting Lu Xiaobu to recite the script. Making Lu Xiaobu memorize the script. Hahaha, look at my expression! Hahaha! "Did you prepare what I asked you to?" Lu Xiaobu continued. "Ive prepared it!" The system said speechlessly. "Thats good." Lu Xiaobu nodded. He wont take physical action or curse people, but that doesnt mean he cant cause trouble! After all, if he went by the book and gave the speech, the outcome wouldnt be what he wanted. What he wanted was a sensation, an explosion, to slap Zhu Zhixi dead! ... As students and teachers from various schools, as well as some invited parents, entered. The Education Day officially began. The opening ceremony was initiated by Zhu Zhixi. It must be said, after the previous hype, Zhu Zhixis popularity was pretty good. He was hugely welcomed as soon as he got on stage. "Teacher Zhu, well done! Giving a speech despite injuries!" "Be sure to take care of your health!" "Your health is the greatest treasure for the children." "..." Of course, eighty percent of this adoration was from teachers and parents. As for the students? They were not interested at all. If it hadnt been mandatory, they wouldnt have cared to listen to the Education Day speech. It was all those old clichs over and over again. The speech began. "Hello everyone, today at this opening, I want to talk about the uselessness of college theory that many people are talking about in society." Truth be told, Zhu Zhixis skills were quite good, otherwise he wouldnt have deceived so many people. Like now, he memorized the entire script. You know, many people cant do without the script when giving speeches. "Some people, I dont know what their motive is, foolishly saying college is useless..." Zhu Zhixi continued. Many teachers nodded again and again as they listened. But in contrast, nearly all the students looked spiritless, as if they were about to fall asleep. It was indeed the same old stuff! "Todays children here havent yet stepped into society, havent yet contributed to society..." The students grew even more tired. "This society today, its supported by our generation, sparing no effort in encouraging learning..." Old clichs! But, this Zhu Zhixi did have some skills. He explained these old clichs from another angle. That is, if it really was useless, why would they tirelessly persuade again and again? Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Because his angle was quite good, some students did absorb what he was saying. This even made Hou Long nod in approval. Even though this Zhu Zhixi caused trouble, his speech was really quite good. At the end. "College is not useless, ignorance is!" Zhu Zhixi concluded. His speech finished. Below, applause sounded, quite warm indeed. After all, there were cameras present, and the students also clapped politely. But actually, you could see a bit of absent-mindedness on most students faces. No matter how good the angle, it couldnt avoid still being the same old stuff. Now that the closing ceremony was over, everyone couldnt help but start looking forward to Lu Xiaobus closing ceremony. Well, the middle part can be skipped. But the closing ceremony definitely cannot! Chapter 357 - 356 Total Madness [4th Update for Xianggemeidi Li Dongwan’s Reward Increase] Chapter 357: Chapter 356 Total Madness [4th Update for Xianggemeidi Li Dongwans Reward Increase]Everyone in the venue has gone mad! What? Zhu Zhixis speech is complete nonsense?! Zhu Zhixi was talking about encouraging education, and now youre saying its nonsense, what do you mean? What are you opposing?! And its not just opposing! You started off by cursing?! And you did it in front of the national audience?! Lu Xiaobu, are you out of your mind?! Hou Long has completely lost it! If he could lose his temper now, he would have already exploded! Lu Xiaobu, didnt you promise me to handle this well? Didnt you memorize the script?! What are you doing now?! Do you know how much pressure I was under to let you speak?! Now you pull this?! Are you trying to kill me? No, not just killing me, but dragging me down with you, right?! We dont have any grudge! The reporters have also gone crazy! Furiously taking photos of Lu Xiaobu. "Lu Xiaobu, although I really dislike you, I must say, youve got guts! To dare say such things!" "Respect! I truly respect you!" "Is there anything you wouldnt dare to do?!" "..." They know tomorrows news will definitely explode! This is definitely huge news! It must be recorded! Those teachers and parents have also gone crazy! "Get this nonsense-spouting person off the stage!" "Indeed, hes a scum!" "Who let such a person speak, are they insane?!" "This is corrupting the kids!" "Trash! Get lost! Go die!" "..." Yet, theyve all gone crazy. However, the students eyes lit up. "Young Master Bu truly lives up to his name!" "That statement was so domineering, its exactly what I want to say!" "6666666!" ... Zhu Zhixis face expression fluctuated. He didnt know whether the current situation was good or bad, Possibly, he might not see tomorrows sun. But also possibly, he might rise to the sky in one step! ... Wei Hais side. After hearing that statement, a sinister yet smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He erased all traces and quietly disappeared. Lu Xiaobu, let the show begin. Then, welcome your execution! ... On-site! Along with the cursing, there was actually also a sense of expectation. After all, since Lu Xiaobu had already said such things, without a satisfying answer, he simply couldnt justify it to everyone. Yet, Lu Xiaobu turned a deaf ear to other peoples cursing. His eyes were solely fixed on Li Jin sitting in the audience. He needed to know if Zhang Meng had been found. Second by second, time passed. The cursing grew fiercer. All kinds of curses were being thrown. Apart from cursing, there was also another kind of discussion. "Is Lu Xiaobu going to improvise a speech?!" "Even if its not improvised, it must be original, after all, which script starts with cursing?!" "I hope it wont completely be cursing!" "Yeah, if thats the case, then it really is the end!" "In fact, its almost safe to say its over, whether its for the education day or for Lu Xiaobu himself, its over!" "Hes definitely doomed!" "... " Liang Lan and Li Jin, who knew the inside story, showed anger on their faces, but were utterly powerless. Suddenly, Li Jins eyes flew open, and he nodded towards Lu Xiaobu on the stage. It meant that Zhang Meng had found someone, it was safe! Lu Xiaobu seeing Li Jins gesture, a smile tugged at his lips. It was good that everyone was safe. Then, the smile turned cold. Now, it was time for revenge! Of course, while taking revenge, education had to be taken into consideration as well. Neither aspect could be delayed! Because the speech he prepared was"Youthful Heavenly Dynasty"! This article had made it into the textbooks, with immense influence and it stirred enthusiastic fervor! He had read it in the past with complete engrossment! With blood boiling! Today, he would bring this piece back to life in this world! "I see many puzzled and amazed expressions, perhaps everyone thinks that Zhu Zhixis speech is the common knowledge you have always believed in, and it is known as factual truth. Why then do I still speak in opposition? Because in my heart, there exists a youthful Heavenly Dynasty!" Lu Xiaobu made his opening address! Since everyone was safe, he temporarily suppressed all emotions and started the speech with focus. One step at a time! One step closer to crushing you all! However, the audience looked utterly confused. Youthful Heavenly Dynasty? What Youthful Heavenly Dynasty? Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Nobody understood! "Is a nation old or young?" "Lets discuss the old versus the young. The elderly often ponder the past, while the youth often think about the future." "Thinking solely of the past brings nostalgia; thinking of the future brings hope." "From nostalgia springs conservatism; from hope springs the will to progress. Conservatism keeps things old; the will to progress makes things anew." "Only thinking of the past means everything is as it has been experienced, thus only following the precedent; thinking about the future means everything is unexperienced, therefore always daring to break the mold." Lu Xiaobu read the original text given by the system, slowly articulating each word! After he finished his lines, many people were dumbfounded! These words were not difficult to understand, but this wasnt simple colloquial speech! Manager Yang Fei was somewhat astounded. Many people were incredulous, not because of the literal meaning of the words, but because they couldnt believe it was Lu Xiaobu who got this out! After all, after such an opening, this definitely wasnt an officially prepared speech draft for him! No draft? Is this really his original creation, or even an impromptu speech!? How could that be! Then, as the implication sank in, many people were enraged! Like Zhu Zhixi, this "elderly man", he, and some old professors, and teachers were all quite angered! Who the hell is conservative? Who the hell constantly reminisces the past? Who the fuck doesnt think about making progress? Lu Xiaobu, youre just a hooligan! Even in a closing speech, you insult people!? And you do it in a roundabout way, using literary speech to curse people?! Ordinary language wouldnt satisfy you anymore, would it! Hou Longs gaze also became sternthis was too much! However, Lu Xiaobu simply ignored everyone. Continuing! "Elderly people are often filled with worries; young people often enjoy themselves." "By worrying, it leads to disheartenment; by enjoying, it leads to a surging energy." "Disheartenment leads to cowardice; surging energy leads to boldness." "Cowardice leads to compromising; boldness leads to adventuring." "Through compromising, one could destroy the world; through adventuring, one could create the world." "Elderly people are often averse to affairs; young people generally embrace them." "Being averse leads one to feel that nothing can be done; enjoying leads one to feel that nothing is impossible." "Elderly people are like the twilight sun, young people like the morning sun. Elderly people like a lean cow, young people like a vigorous tiger." "Elderly people like monks, young people like heroes." "Elderly people like dictionaries, young people like dramatic scripts." "Elderly people like opium smoke, young people like brash brandy." "Elderly people like a falling meteor from another planet, young people like coral islands in the great oceans." "Elderly people like the willows after autumn, young people like the grass before spring." "Elderly people like the Dead Sea turned into marsh, young people like the Yangtze River at its source." "This generally summarizes the different characteristics between the elderly and the young." "What is true for individuals should also apply to the nation!" Lu Xiaobu summed up. Following these words, the scene erupted into madness! Thats right, madness, not just mere anger. Chapter 359 - 358 Boiling and Rolling [Sixth Update for the Stars and Wanshang Bonus] Chapter 359: Chapter 358 Boiling and Rolling [Sixth Update for the Stars and Wanshang Bonus]Lu Xiaobu finished speaking! But suddenly, there was no movement at all in the venue! Crack! Swish! All that could be heard was the sound of seats closing... One after another, person after person! Within a mere three seconds... Nearly everyone in the venue had stood up! Even now, no one spoke. They were just looking up at Lu Xiaobu on stage with shock on their faces! Thousands of students! Thousands of gazes! A dense crowd of heads! The scene at this moment was incredibly shocking! There was a torrent of emotions boiling in everyones heart! Oh, how splendid our youthful Heavenly Dynasty, eternal like the heavens! Oh, how magnificent our young Heavenly Dynasty, boundless like the nation! What kind of speech was this! What kind of sentiment was this! The previous parts, some students might not have fully understood. But these last few sections, they all understood. In an instant! Each of them was set ablaze. Lu Xiaobus speech seemed to be a spark that ignited them. It set fire to all the students hearts! Youthful Heavenly Dynasty! This is our Heavenly Dynasty! Some students, upon hearing the end, couldnt help tearing up uncontrollably. It was excitement, it was emotion, and it was impulsiveness! They couldnt help but let the tears flow down! Some students reached up to touch their eyes, in disbelief at the moisture on their hands. Am I crying? How come? Why am I crying? There used to be a time when every time they heard a teacher speak, they would involuntarily start to feel sleepy. It would go in one ear and out the other, as if they were listening, but in fact, they didnt take in a single word. Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But now, just now, Lu Xiaobus speech had them so excited that tears fell. They didnt know what was wrong with themselves, no one knew what was wrong today, so many couldnt contain themselves! Even! Several middle school teachers couldnt help but have moist eyes. Only today did they understand that they had always thought no matter how much a teacher explained logically and moved emotionally, students would resist, and few would really listen. They had discussed this in private and during their teacher training school sessions, and some teachers even conducted discussions on this very topic. The conclusion of the analysis was that the biggest issue was the rebellious mindset of young people. It was a physiological problem, a natural law, and there was no defying it. They could only go with the flow, waiting for the children to grow up and pass this rebellious phase before they could take in those profound truths, and understand the teachers good intentions! However, today! These teachers knew they were wrong, and enormously so! It wasnt that students couldnt listen! It wasnt that students felt resistance when hearing long lectures! It wasnt the students fault, nor was it any darn rebellious psychology or natural law! Rather, it was the problem with what they had been saying! The principles they conveyed hadnt reached deep into the childrens hearts! This reality was hard for many to accept, difficult to come to terms with, yet the scene before their eyes left them speechless! Lu Xiaobu did it! "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" did it! Look at those boiling children, and all the answers are there! The rebellious mentality of the youth? No! That was just their excuse! The real reason for the childrens resistance was actually... They, were not up to par! Even not as good as the student Lu Xiaobu! Yes, a cruel answer, but a real one! ... Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers, "Thats it! Oh, and one more thing, the reason I spread negative energy is because I believe that insignificant negative energy cant bring down our youths of the Heavenly Dynasty!" He had said all that needed to be said, and explained everything that needed to be explained. Honestly, he was also quite stirred. After all! This article was truly infectious! Even he was boiling with passion! Whoosh! The applause exploded instantly! "Lu Xiaobu, youre awesome!" Someone shouted out from nowhere. Although the slogan was a bit crude, it was currently the most widespread and deeply resonant phrase! So, this sentence was like the trigger to an explosive barrel! "Lu Xiaobu, youre awesome!" "Lu Xiaobu, youre awesome!" "Lu Xiaobu, youre awesome!" "Lu Xiaobu, youre awesome!" The chanting became more and more synchronized! Eventually, it all unified! Thousands of students were uniformly chanting "Lu Xiaobu, youre awesome" in male, female, and childrens voices! This scene was even more heart-stirring than when everyone had stood up earlier! If this were a concert, then it wouldnt be strange for people to shout the names of pop stars or celebrities. But this time it was different. It was an Education Day, and it was an evening event for the middle and elementary school students. And Lu Xiaobu had just given a closing speech, yet he received such a reception from the kids! Well, it was just that the slogan was a bit awkward! However, even so, the slogans infectious power was inexplicably strong! Even many teachers couldnt help but start chanting along. Indeed, if the previous principal of Qinghua couldnt help himself, why not them! The children were excited, truly excited! For how many years have all the elders, all the teachers told them to behave, just follow their path! Have they ever cared about what the kids themselves think? Worrying about this, worrying about that. Yes, your concerns are not wrong! But are we people, or are we puppets?! Does following your path guarantee success? Does deviating from your path entail certain failure?! However, Lu Xiaobu didnt tell them what to do! Or which path to take! Instead, he told them... The Heavenly Dynasty belongs to the youth! The Heavenly Dynasty is theirs! They are not the weak! They are the pillars of the nation! To the kids, this wasnt just a voice. It was a cry, a vote of confidence! This trust made them involuntarily stand tall and proud, letting the proudest part within them burst forth from their bodies! The feeling of hot blood stuck in the throat is hard to articulate with words! The children held their heads high. And those who didnt believe, who distrusted, even those who had cursed Lu Xiaobu, were now deeply bowing their heads! So Lu Xiaobu only knows how to swear? Lu Xiaobu isnt as good as Zhu Zhixi?! One prepared for a month and still provided nothing new! The other had just two days yet delivered a speech that was eloquent, moving, and stirred the blood! Well, of course, he also took the opportunity to curse some people, cough cough cough, lets overlook that for now! Who lost and who won is quite clear, isnt it! People couldnt help but start looking for Zhu Zhixi. But where could they find Zhu Zhixis trace? He had vanished without a trace long ago! People all showed an expression that seemed to say this was to be expected; after all, if Zhu Zhixi still had the face to stay here, now that would really take some nerve. However, no one saw Li Jin giving Lu Xiaobu a subtle nod from the side. This meant the person was caught! The smile on Lu Xiaobus lips started to turn cold! Ive said before, well take it step by step! No one, will get away! Chapter 360 - 359 One-way Ticket [1st Update] Chapter 360: Chapter 359 One-way Ticket [1st Update]The party finally ended with the teachers utmost efforts to maintain order. The students are still unable to hold back their excitement, constantly discussing with each other. "It was so exhilarating." "Yes, it was totally worth coming to this party." "Coming all this way was definitely not a waste." "The performances were pretty much the same, long and uniform as always, but Young Master Bus closing speech was truly fiery and passionate!" "Just for that closing speech, it was worth coming!" "Young Master Bu really understands us, much better than those teachers!" "After I go back, I need to really work hard. This speech could change my life!" "Me too, I wont need teachers and parents to force me to study anymore!" Students from various provinces who attended the party were greatly moved. This party, or rather, Lu Xiaobus closing words, gave them significant gains. This type of motivational education, like the classic speeches of Youthful Heavenly Dynasty, truly is priceless. Anyone who was there to hear it in person felt like they found a treasure! Even some middle school teachers have decided to carefully dissect Lu Xiaobus speech after returning, and share it with students who couldnt attend! Missing out on this would definitely make the students curse them for a lifetime! Everyone at the party had left. However, the principals from Emperor Big, Emperor Electric and other universities were late. They anxiously asked around, "Where is Lu Xiaobu? Where is Lu Xiaobu?" When they asked every person, everyone thought for a moment and pointed them in a direction. However, not a single of them found Lu Xiaobu. At last, a few principals met each other again. "What are you doing here, Emperor Big?" Principal of Qinghua stared menacingly at the principal from Emperor Big. They started snapping at each other the moment they metit was a traditional rivalry between the two universities, cough cough, tradition, no decency! "Whats it to you? Is it your place to control me?" The principal from Emperor Big was equally combative. Both of them stared at each other like fighting roosters. Actually, they both knew very well what the other was here for. It was all about winning over Lu Xiaobu. They regretted not trying harder last year. If they had just been a bit more shameless to win Xiaobu over, it would have been totally worth it. While the two competed, Principal Li from Emperor Electric strolled over leisurely: "Hey, still fighting, huh?" He was the happiest one. Because he gained the most. "What are you doing here!" The principals from Emperor Big and Qinghua immediately redirected their anger towards the Principal of Emperor Electric. This guy was too arrogant. Definitely here to show off. It was a classic case of a third party benefiting from a rivalry. And yet, he even dared to flaunt it. "Whats the matter? Cant I come and see my schools student, give some encouragement?" Principal Li boasted loudly. The words our schools student were heavily stressed. Hehe, how about that, no matter how you two fight, Lu Xiaobu is still our student. "Ha!" These words infuriated the two principals! The Emperor Big principal suddenly spoke up, "Fine, hes your student, but I declare, from now on, Lu Xiaobu is our honorary professor at Emperor Big." Hearing this, the Qinghua principal couldnt agree to be outdone, "Hes also our honorary professor!" "Hey, you two have any shame left?" This infuriated Principal Li! Sugar-coated bullets, huh?! The three principals ripped into each other, leaving onlookers dumbfounded. Even when Lu Xiaobu became the national top scorer in the college entrance exams, these three principals had never personally fought like this! And now, just over one speech, these three principals started?! ... They fought among themselves, but they couldnt find any trace of Lu Xiaobu at all. Where had Lu Xiaobu gone? He was now in a secluded old warehouse. The passionate and fiery look that had once been on his face had completely disappeared. He sat on a chair, with his arms crossed in front of his face, looking indifferently at Zhu Zhixi, who was kneeling in front of him, with both legs broken! Yes, the other leg was broken too. At this moment, Zhu Zhixi no longer had his previous aspirations or arrogance. Fear was the only thing left in his eyes, and pain was all that was left in his body. He gasped heavily, lying on the floor like a dying dog, not daring to lift his head. Only one sentence was circling in his mind. That was something Lu Xiaobu had once saidThis is not a threat! "Speak up." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. "Speak, speak, speak, Ill say everything!" Zhu Zhixi had no intention of resisting at all; he blurted everything out: "I was acting on Wei Hais orders, his goal was your secret recipes, at the very beginning..." Zhu Zhixis description was vague, after all, he was just an executor and did not know much. But it still let Lu Xiaobu get some information. First, Wei Hai was not the mastermind behind the scenes; there was a foreign power behind him, all the hype around Zhu Zhixi was fabricated by that power. Second, they were not interested in the assets, but in the secret recipes! Third, they had planned for a long time, the so-called positive energy was just a coincidence, without it, they had other methods, such as carcinogens, malicious experiments, and so on! "Anything else you want to say?" Lu Xiaobu asked nonchalantly. "No, no more, please let me go, I will never appear in front of you again." Zhu Zhixi spoke trembling. He was still vaguely hopeful. "Dont worry, you wont appear in front of me ever again." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. Li Jin immediately dragged Zhu Zhixi out. Waiting outside was Zhang Benhu. "Zhang Benhu, I leave this to you." Li Jin tossed this dying dog to Zhang Benhu. "Yes, Brother Li, remember to send my regards to Young Master," Zhang Benhu immediately said with a nod and then whispered, "Those people have gone on a trip, one-way ticket!" "I know, I will tell Young Master." Li Jin nodded. Who were those people? Hospital nuisances! Where is this trip to? Ghost Gate! As for one-way ticket! No need for explanation! Li Jin turned and walked away. Zhang Benhu lowered his head, looking at Zhu Zhixi at his feet trying to crawl away with his hands, eyes full of horror: "Hey, you still got strength! Well then, lets go, before your trip, Ill give you a personal massage!" His smile gradually became cruel. He couldnt compare himself to Zhang Meng or Li Jin; he wasnt fit to be a lackey. But he could do the dirty work. He would do what Young Master couldnt do, and he would do it tenfold! Because he knew, as long as Young Master Bu was around, so was he! "No! No! No! I was wrong! I was wro..." Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhu Zhixis terrified screams echoed in the empty space. He wasnt stupid, he knew what trip and massage meant! Dont understand? His currently broken legs were just treated with a foot therapy! Zhu Zhixi, one-way ticket, gone on a trip. Lu Xiaobu sat quietly with his arms crossed: "And what about Wei Hai?" One by one. Chapter 361 - 360: How is the Burial Offering Prepared? [2nd Update] Chapter 361: Chapter 360: How is the Burial Offering Prepared? [2nd Update]Hearing Lu Xiaobus inquiry, Li Jin replied softly, "Young Master, the instructor is following him. However, Wei Hai is very cautious. Once he sensed something was wrong, he immediately chose to leave in a high-profile manner. There are too many people watching; its not easy to make a move." Lu Xiaobu nodded, indicating that he understood: "Sister Lan, you go and handle the companys affairs. Li Jin and I will go to Jingxi Province. He wants to go back, right? Lets go back and wait for him!" A person who dares not appear on the rich list, how clean can his background be? Its just because there arent many people here who know his background that he uses such a high-profile method to leave. Once he returns to Jingxi Province... High-profile? Would he dare? Id give him two gallbladders! Lu Xiaobu clearly understood Wei Hais thoughts; it was nothing but feeling fearless once back on his own turf. But, is it really so? ... When Lu Xiaobu went to Jingxi Province, there was only one topic on the internet. That was "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty"! This speech exploded across everyones networks. It dominated all the headlines! Celebrity getting married? Move aside! Popular singer releasing a new song? Stand back! Someone cheated, or even came out? Well talk about that when we remember! Someone got cuckolded? Who cares! Now, all they had in their hearts was "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty"! "Holy crap, its so fiery!" "This is the first time a prose has ignited me!" "Blood is boiling!" "Right! I suggest you all watch the video! The text really lacks strength, it doesnt convey the feeling. Lu Xiaobus impassioned speech at the scene, especially the last few sentences, is a must-listen. Its freaking blood-boiling! Such literary flair is simply sky-defying!" "I watched it too, really awesome!" "But, wasnt he cursing a bit too harshly?" "Yeah, way too much, it was practically pointing the finger and cursing!" "Hes using metaphors, when did he ever curse?!" "Wasnt it cursing? Are we blind?" "Alright, stop yapping. Ill say something unpleasant; even if Lu Xiaobu curses, so what? Besides, if he wanted to curse, would he need to beat around the bush?! Hasnt he pointed the finger and cursed people before? Really idle, idly looking for trouble and finding fault!" "Ugh... okay! Youre right! Were just idly seeking trouble!" "..." Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hearing that netizens words, everyone came to a realization. Yeah, if Lu Xiaobu wanted to curse, why beat around the bush? So what if he curses?! Cursing is just cursing! So, dont think too much, even if he really did curse, just pretend not to know, why seek trouble idly?! Thus, the accusations of Lu Xiaobu cursing were forcefully suppressed! If Lu Xiaobu finds out and says its really cursing them, then theyd really be asking for it! Some veteran teachers who had heard the speech onsite originally wanted to speak up for Lu Xiaobu and explain. After all, the essence of this speech was excellent. However, before their Weibo posts were published, they noticed that the accusations had disappeared! This made them chuckle wryly. They deleted their Weibo, switching to commentating and analyzing "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty". Well, they almost did something unnecessary again. They truly didnt know there was such a way to solve problems! Sometimes being shameless has its benefits! ... While the online discussion was boiling, Lu Xiaobu arrived at a villa in Jingxi Province. This was Wei Hais villa. Zhang Meng was waiting at the front.Sounddon "Young Master, Wei Hai is inside," Zhang Meng said to Lu Xiaobu. "However, it seems he has already spotted me." "Oh? He spotted you and still dares to stay and wait here? Impressive! He must be quite confident!" A cold smile tugged at the corners of Lu Xiaobus mouth. It wasnt surprising that Zhang Meng was discovered; after all, this was Jingxi Province, a place where Wei Hai had eyes and ears everywhere. If Zhang Meng, who had always been with him, went unnoticed, it would be a gross injustice for Lu Xiaobu to be plotted against. But after detecting Zhang Meng, Wei Hai didnt hide; instead, he openly waited for Lu Xiaobu. He must have an ace up his sleeve! "Open the door! Lets see what kind of burial gifts Wei Hai has prepared for his own demise," Lu Xiaobu told Zhang Meng. "Yes!" Zhang Meng stepped forward and opened the villas grand doors. The moment the door opened, they saw a dense crowd inside the villa. At least dozens of people. These people were divided into several classes. The outermost layer consisted of seemingly petty thugs. Further inside were bodyguards in black suits. And at the very back, standing behind the sofa, were two people dressed in training clothes. Wei Hai sat on the living room sofa, exuding absolute confidence. "Tsk, tsk, Lu Xiaobu, you really did come," Wei Hai ignited a cigar, puffing out clouds of smoke and said, "How do you like my welcome ceremony?" In Lu Xiaobus territory, he had to act subservient. But here, on his turf, he was the boss! Thinking he could be touched on his grounds? He couldnt help but let out a cold laugh! "These riffraff are your backup?" Lu Xiaobu scoffed disdainfully. "Not bad, I am a straightforward man. I only know that two fists cant beat four hands! Here in Jingxi Province, I have plenty of people. Just these two people by your side are, Im afraid, not enough." Wei Hai spoke with utter confidence. "Li Jin, Im tired, find me a spot to sit," Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily. At these words, Wei Hais expression instantly darkened. He hadnt expected Lu Xiaobu to be so arrogant. Had it been him, although he wouldnt have begged for mercy, he would have definitely turned and left at the sight of such force! But what about Lu Xiaobu? He had the audacity to look for a place to sit? What place to sit? The only place to sit here was the sofa right under him! Lu Xiaobu was after his spot! Lu Xiaobu actually thought he could beat dozens of his men with just these two people?! Hed wear them out to exhaustion. But, he was mistaken. It was not two people, but one. Li Jin stepped forward: "Yes, Young Master!" Finally, it was his time to shine, although against some insignificant foes, at least it wasnt the instructor stepping in! It was time to show off, ahem, no, it was time to prove his loyalty to the Young Master! Li Jin pulled out a handful of seeds from his pocket and infused them with True Qi. He then violently scattered them. With so many people, he couldnt be bothered to aim at each one individually; Young Master wouldnt like the wait! So, he simply went for an indiscriminate bombing! No tactics, no automatic targeting. Just sheer power and penetrating force! "Whoosh!" A row of seeds shot out... no, crashed out! For now, the seeds had effectively become a wall! Chapter 362 - 361: I Want to Sit Down, You Kneel Down! [Third Update] Chapter 362: Chapter 361: I Want to Sit Down, You Kneel Down! [Third Update]When Li Jins seed wall was activated. The faces of the two men in training clothes beside Wei Hai changed dramatically in an instant. Both of them flipped over the sofa and positioned themselves in front of Wei Hai. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" They had just flipped over. The seeds, like a hot knife slicing through butter, instantly penetrated the muscles, bones, and organs of the outermost gangsters without any resistance. Moreover, the momentum of the seeds did not decrease, and although the bodyguards had reacted and were desperately trying to block, Their efforts were futile. Penetration, still penetration! "Bang bang bang!" At this moment, the seeds turned blood-red, resembling the eyes of a demon. They shot directly towards Wei Hais last line of defense, the two men in training clothes. At this moment, these two men in training clothes, in a critical moment, had lifted the mahogany tea table in front of them as a shield. "Bang!" The torrent of seeds harshly struck the mahogany tea table, After the initial two rounds of human attrition and the blockade by this mahogany tea table shield, The seed wall was finally stopped. However, the sturdy mahogany tea table was now wrecked! "Young Master, please." Li Jin, looking at the people writhing in pain on the ground, some unable to even scream, made an inviting gesture to Lu Xiaobu without any expression. "En." Lu Xiaobu nodded and stepped forward over the people on the ground. "Hu hu hu hu!" Wei Hai, seeing his subordinates who he had relied on and thought could overpower even an experienced fighter, all lying on the ground in an instant, turned completely pale! His heart even stopped beating at that moment! How is this possible? Those were just seeds, not bullets! Why would they have such formidable power!? Watching Lu Xiaobu step closer, he seemed like a demon! "You, you two, go, stop them! No, kill them!" Wei Hai, clutching at straws, pinned his hopes on the men in training clothes. These two had been hired for a large sum. They were said to be something like Martial Artists. He hadnt paid attention when hiring them, but he knew each of these men could fight several others! If it was them, they should be able to block the person throwing the seeds! However, hearing Wei Hais words, the two Martial Artists showed a bitter smile, put down the mahogany tea table, revealing their cracked tigers mouths (palms). They block? What could they use to block? The enemy had already penetrated several peoples defenses, and even holding a mahogany tea table, their palms were cracked from the impact. What entitlement did they have to block them? What capability did they have to block them?! "Move aside." Zhang Meng said, standing beside the two men. "Yes!" The two Martial Artists shivered. They immediately nodded and stepped aside! This man in front of them was even more terrifying than the previous one! Block? Block what? "Get up." Zhang Meng grabbed Wei Hai by the neck, placed him beside the ruined mahogany tea table, then tidied up the sofa: "Young Master, please." "En." Lu Xiaobu nodded and sat down on the sofa. To find a place to sit, just find a place to sit. Since theres only one seat, you make room. I want to sit, you kneel! "Lu Xiaobu, dont be too arrogant!" Wei Hai, forcing himself to stand, pointed at Lu Xiaobu and bellowed. "Pu pu!" Two piercing sounds, Wei Hais kneecaps were shot through. "Thud!" Wei Hai immediately knelt down! "Ah!" Wei Hai screamed heartbreakingly. Lu Xiaobu didnt care about him and let him scream. Until Wei Hai had no strength left to scream, and his face turned deathly pale. Then, Lu Xiaobu continued to ask: "Tell me, whos behind you? Which country?" "I wont tell, if you have the guts, just kill me!" Wei Hai was much tougher than Zhu Zhixi, he roared at Lu Xiaobu: "As long as you dont dare to kill me, sooner or later, I will eat your flesh and drink your blood!" "Oh, then lets kill you! Li Jin, go ahead." Lu Xiaobu nodded, showing approval. "Yes, Young Master!" Li Jin nodded and walked towards Wei Hai! "Ah!?" Wei Hai was dumbfounded! Damn, are you really going to kill me?! No way! Youre not going to ask more questions? How could this be?! "Wait! Im a celebrity! How will you explain my death to the outside world?" Wei Hai roared! "Now, the outside world probably wont notice anything about you." Lu Xiaobu took out his phone, browsing it while speaking: "Right now, everyone is probably discussing my speech. Oh, right, look, I just saw a news message, Youthful Heavenly Dynasty is going to be included in the language textbooks. Your death will probably go unnoticed." Lu Xiaobu revealed a happy smile, showing Wei Hai the phone screen. Being included in the language textbook was indeed good news. "Gulp!" Wei Hai, looking at the exploding topic of Youthful Heavenly Dynasty on the phone, couldnt help swallowing his saliva! "You, you had it all calculated!? Did you deliberately make that speech? Was it just to cover up my news?!" Wei Hai was utterly panicked. Lu Xiaobu had it planned to such an extent!? Is he human or a ghost?! Was everything already within his control from the start?! No, nows not the time to think about this. "If you kill me now, you wont get a penny of my money!" Wei Hai continued to roar. "Your money? Sorry, I dont need it, your money is of no benefit to me. Itll probably be confiscated in the end!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes; he had barely managed to squander a little money, taking Wei Hais money would doom him! "Ah?!" Wei Hai was once again dumbfounded: "Then why on earth are you killing me? Just because I provoked you before!?" "Yes, but not really!" Lu Xiaobu heard Wei Hai bring up this topic and sneered: "If it were just a simple provocation, honestly, I really wouldnt bother with you to this extent." "Didnt you see that Fan Xi from Conquest Game Company and Qi Zhendong from Mao Yuan Group are still alive and well?" "Business is business, but its also an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!" "You targeted my people, played this game with me, you should have been prepared for this outcome!" Wei Hai, hearing Lu Xiaobus words, roared: "I dont believe it, I cant believe it! Just for a mere employee, you went this far?! Impossible!" "Sorry, maybe you dont believe it, but its indeed the case! You, who live everyday in betrayal and being betrayed, wouldnt understand! My hundred thousand employees are willing to fight for me, so I must ensure they live!" Lu Xiaobu spoke lightly. His voice was calm, but it exuded an immense determination! If the king regards me as a worthy subject, I must repay him like one! "Alright, Li Jin, enough talk, act now!" Lu Xiaobu stood up, patted his rear: "This place is really uncomfortable, Im going back to sleep!" Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes! Young Master!" Li Jins eyes revealed fierceness. "Wouldnt you like to know whos behind me..." Wei Hais words were not yet finished, when there was no more sound. "Right, no need, as long as I still hold the secret recipe, drawing them out will be easy." Lu Xiaobu walked out of the villa! Wei Hai, exterminated! Chapter 363 - 362: Part 3 [4th update, bonus for Wan Xing reward] Chapter 363: Chapter 362: Part 3 [4th update, bonus for Wan Xing reward]Post-incident management naturally didnt require Lu Xiaobus arrangement; in the open, there was Liang Lan, and behind the scenes, there was Zhang Benhu. Soon, a news article about an underground power feud killing made it onto the newspapers. However, this news was firmly suppressed by "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty," barely getting any attention at all! Even if someone noticed it, they would only be slightly astonished before losing interest. After all, the current hot topic was about "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" being included in the language textbooks. Although it was still under consideration. But that was enough to drive people insane! "Oh my god!" "Language textbooks! That represents official endorsement!" "This must be the result of unanimous recommendation from university presidents and senior professors." "Exactly, they wouldnt want such a good article to go unnoticed, it must be learned by students." "Thats great, I was worrying about how to perfectly replicate the original, since the versions on the internet arent approved by Lu Xiaobu, and not knowing if theyre correct. Now, I can properly analyze it for my students!" "This is something educationalists dream of achieving, yet its been done by a prodigal son." "I am really impressed by this move!" "Speaking of which, do you guys still remember cola? Who said it was negative energy? Please stand up!" "Who said that? Cola is my favorite, no competition!" "Exactly, exactly!" "..." As "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" was selected for the textbooks, the scattered opposing voices on the internet were completely crushed. Cola made its comeback in Jianghu, once again dominating the beverage market. And with the success of "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty," colas sales surged once again. Now ranked number 18! What a great number! sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... Lu Xiaobu returned home, where the noise from the outside world was isolated from the small villa. "Xiaobu, you spoke so well! Come, write it down for me by hand; I want to hang it on the wall!" Lu Wenhao, the academic star, wouldnt let this opportunity slip by! For him, earning more money was nowhere near as exciting as a brilliant article. "No way!" Lu Xiaobu outright refused. Write?! What a joke!? He was too lazy to write. Besides, with his poor penmanship, the result would probably make Lu Wenhao die laughing. Nope, absolutely not. "Not giving it to me?!" Lu Wenhaos eyebrows raised, "Be careful, or I might just take care of you!" "Come on, you think you can beat me?" Lu Xiaobu said mockingly. After all, with full attributes, how could a bookworm like Lu Wenhao ever beat him. Of course, they wouldnt actually fight. Lu Wenhao couldnt bear to hit Lu Xiaobu, and similarly, Lu Xiaobu wouldnt want to hit Lu Wenhao either. "Haha, Xiaobu! Stop teasing your second brother, just write one for him!" Lu Hongbin watched as Lu Wenhao got so angry his mouth skewed, and with a laugh said to Lu Xiaobu: "You know how your second brother is. If he doesnt get it, he probably wont be able to sleep or eat!" Indeed Xiaobus speech was truly amazing! Not just the kids, but their whole family was extremely excited while listening! "But, its really tiring!" Lu Xiaobu genuinely didnt want to write: "Can I just print it out instead?" "No, that would be soulless." Lu Wenhao was extremely persistent on this matter. "Fine fine fine, you have your way alright. Ill write it for you!" Lu Xiaobu conceded. Yep, this was the most words hed written since the college entrance exam! It exhausted him to death. Looking at Lu Xiaobus handwriting, Lu Wenhao was full of disdain, "Still no improvement, its illegible." "Gah!" Lu Xiaobu gnashed his teeth at Lu Wenhao: "I told you I didnt want to write it. After writing it, you complain its bad, give it here, no more." "Alright alright, its well written! So good!" Lu Wenhao reluctantly complimented the calligraphy and hastily put it away. He couldnt let it get taken away; he still wanted to show it off! Now, in the literary world, this was a truly unique piece! Lu Father watched his two sons playfully tussling with each other, his eyes full of affection. Their brotherly bond remaining this strong was what pleased him the most. He never said anything like, "Just because Xiaobu became successful, lets do this or that." They were in the midst of their playful fight. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Liang Lan got up to answer it. She no longer worked because it wasnt like they were rich now or that she married a wealthy man. Rather, she wanted to devote herself entirely to caring for the familys daily needs at home. After all, Lu Father was getting on in years and it was essential to have someone at home. Upon opening the door, she saw three individuals with a strong scholarly aura about them. "Who might you be?" Lin Shu did not recognize these three people. "Oh, Im the principal of Emperor Electric University; my surname is Hu." The Emperor Electric University Principal was the first to speak. The Principal of Qinghua University didnt want to be left behind: "Im the Principal of Qinghua University, my surname is Wang." Only the Principal of Emperor Electric University was relaxed and confident: "Liang Lan! Im Xiaobus principal. I even attended your wedding with Hong Bin." Principal Li looked proudly at the other two university principals. You just dont measure up! After all, Xiaobu is my student, and I understand him well. Seeing Principal Lis expression, Principals Hu and Wang were so irritated they were itching with frustration. At the same time, this solidified their purpose for being here even more! "Oh, three Principals! Please come in!" Having been a teacher before, Lin Shu had immense respect for the three esteemed principals and quickly invited them in. "Liang Lan, who is it?" Lu Father asked at this moment. "Dad, its the Principals of Emperor Electric, Qinghua, and Emperor Electric Universities." Lin Shu hurriedly replied. "Oh!?" Upon hearing this, Lu Father promptly stood up to greet them. These three individuals were highly respected wherever they went; he couldnt afford to put on airs. "Ah, Brother Lu! We meet again!" While the Principals of Emperor Electric and Qinghua Universities were still figuring out how to greet, the Emperor Electric Universitys Principal Li had already gone up to greet familiarly. Yes, he didnt forget to give the other two principals another smug look. He just loved seeing the principals of the two big universities looking so frustrated in front of him! Of course, all this was thanks to Lu Xiaobu! The other two principals quickly introduced themselves too. "Please take a seat, have a seat." Lu Father hurriedly invited the three principals to the living room, and then addressed Lu Wenhao and Lu Xiaobu, who were still playing around: "Alright, the three principals are here, quiet down a bit." "Okay." The two of them quickly responded. Lu Xiaobu was fine; he was just listening to Lu Fathers words. But Lu Wenhao was different. As a top student, his respect for the three principals was even greater than that of Lin Shu, who used to be a teacher. "Please take a seat, take a seat!" Lu Wenhao hurried to have them sit down. Serving tea, exchanging pleasantries, Principal Li took another victorious glance at the other two principals. Finally, it was time to talk about the matter at hand. "I wonder what brings the three of you here this time?!" Lu Father voiced the perplexity in his heart. He truly didnt know what about their home would warrant a visit from all three principals together. Even if Xiaobu had made a bit of a splash, it surely wasnt to this extent! Chapter 364 - 363 Trapped and Feeling like Crying [5th update, bonus for reaching the star target] Chapter 364: Chapter 363 Trapped and Feeling like Crying [5th update, bonus for reaching the star target]The two principals of Beijing University exchanged glances before saying in unison, "We would like to invite Lu Xiaobu to be our guest professor." "No, thanks!" Lu Xiaobu immediately refused as soon as they finished speaking. What a joke. He could barely be bothered to write calligraphy, even for his second brother! And now they want him to be a professor? Absolutely not! As a professor, one has to teach classes. When does he have time to teach? What a drag! Plus, if he became a professor, how would he flirt with girls? Teacher-student relationships? Although things are liberal these days, liberalism doesnt mean ignoring the impact. After all, he might not care, but others certainly will! Looking at it this way, theres not a single benefit! Maybe someone would say, becoming well-known could boost business! True. But why does he need business?! Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He just wants to spend money! Speaking of spending, its been a while since he has wasted any. He glanced at the three principals, thought about education, and then the Hope Primary School came to mind! So, he picked up the phone: "Hey, Sister Lan, how much does it cost to build a Hope Primary School?" "Only two hundred thousand? That cheap?" "Oh, because the local government will make up the shortfall?" "Then forget the subsidy. Lets just build a hundred Hope Primary Schools for fun! Its been a while since Ive wasted money!" "Only fifty million? Seems a bit low, but okay, lets do it!" "Name? Lets name them after League of Legends heroes!" "Lets name the first school Galen Primary School! The schools motto will be As long as I stand, the tower stands!" "The second one will be Rui Zi Primary School, with the motto Follow me, follow me!" "The third one, call it Zhao Xin Primary School, with the motto A gleam of cold steel appears first, and then a chrysanthemum is offeredcough cough, actually, its lance as swift as a dragon!" Lu Xiaobu chuckled, stroking his chin. This feels quite interesting! Imagine when school starts, a crowd of students yelling "For Demacia!" What an exciting scene! However. "What? Not approved? Then just name them whatever!" Lu Xiaobu immediately lost his enthusiasm. This just became boring. His phone call ended. Lus father and the others were not surprised and took it as business as usual. But the three principals went crazy. What the heck?! We just invited you to be a guest professor, didnt we? Why did you jump to donating to Hope Primary Schools? And casually drop fifty million?! Of course, theyre not saying its a bad thing. Its definitely a good deed. But, they dont get it?! How did he even come up with this idea?! It made them forget what they were going to say initially. They were quite flustered and needed to take a moment. They forgot, but Lus father had not, puzzled, he asked: "Why would you invite my son to be a guest professor, just because of a speech? Isnt that a bit much?" "A guest professor? A speech?" The principals were first taken aback, then they remembered. The principal of Beijing University hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, we sincerely invited Lu Xiaobu, all because of this speech. Maybe Mr. Lu doesnt realize the significant impact this speech has had on the field of education, but it definitely deserves the title of guest professor." "Absolutely, its truly deserved!" The principal of Qinghua University also nodded eagerly: "Learning has no order of seniority, and capable people can become teachers. Lu Xiaobus Youthful Heavenly Dynasty has brought new vitality to education. We need him, the original author, to explain the profound meaning of this speech to everyone." Principal Li added, "Thats right. Youthful Heavenly Dynasty is the piece were recommending for inclusion in our language textbooks. We really value it!" Just as the Qinghua principal said. This "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" is not like other articles. To put it bluntly, the authors of other articles with significant meaning are mostly dead. So the later generations can interpret as they understand, yet explain. But now "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" is different! Our Lu Xiaobu is still around, when those old bones are long gone, he will still be alive. How dare they freely interpret?! "No explaining!" Lu Xiaobu once again firmly refused. Explain? Explain what? Shall I summon Liang Qichao to explain to you?! Afraid of misinterpreting? Arent I afraid?! You just watch the interpretations, that should be enough! Really! Oh right, speaking of interpretation, he seems to have forgotten about punishing some people. That bunch of incendiary journalists. So, he picked up the phone again: "Hello, Sister Lan, arrange a press conference for me, Im going to scold some people! Those unscrupulous journalists, remember, those reporters who blindly reported must come." "On what grounds? Lets use the explanation of Youthful Heavenly Dynasty as a pretext! Yes, thats it! They say Im bad-mouthing people, dont they! Well, Ill give them a bad-mouthing interpretation!" Lu Xiaobu said this on this end. Principal Li was holding his tea cup, stunned in place. Principal Hus mouth agape, completely unable to close it. Principal Wang was so frightened he was nearly insane! Lu Xiaobu, what are you planning to do?! Have you forgotten that your speech was just accepted by everyone, and with our strong recommendation, was selected for the language textbook? And now you say you want to use it to curse people?! So you just want to oppose us, is that it?! Our faces are going to be smashed by you!! Think about when the press conference comes out. What will the reporters write? "The article recognized by the public, is it actually cursing people?" "The article recommended by several principals turns out to be for cursing, who are they suggesting?" "An educational article on the surface but cursing underneath?!" No! Absolutely not! The three principals hastily said to Lu Xiaobu: "No, no, it cant be under this pretext, absolutely not!" "Xiaobu, Im begging you, okay? Cant we use this pretext, please? Use something else!" Principal Li was almost ready to kneel down to Lu Xiaobu. He knows very well about Lu Xiaobus character, whatever he envisions, he makes happen. If it really happened, its time for the three principals to step down! "Yes! Xiaobu, please spare us three old things!" The Beijing University principal was almost crying. If only I hadnt come. What sort of trouble is this?! "We wont do it, we wont do it, okay?!" Principal Qinghua thought that they had pushed Lu Xiaobu too hard, forcing him to use this kind of method against them. "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu scratched his head: "Is it necessary? Im just using this pretext, not actually explaining." "Thats still unacceptable, please spare us!" The three principals begged sincerely! "Alright, then under what pretext should I use?" Lu Xiaobu frowned and asked. At this moment, Liang Lan said: "Young Master Bu, how about we use the pretext of donating to build Hope Primary School, and have them come over?" Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu touched his chin, revealing a contemplative look in his eyes. Slowly, a smile crept across his lips, that seems doable! "Alright, thats the one, remember, all those journalists who talked nonsense before, they must all be summoned!" Hope Primary School hasnt got its name yet, right? Lets use that to stir up some trouble; it feels quite exciting! Im not scared of you all! Want to make a scene?! You want to create fabrications, dont you?! Bring it on! Ill make you all infamous for posterity! Hahaha! Chapter 365 - 364: Can You See Clearly? [1st Update] Chapter 365: Chapter 364: Can You See Clearly? [1st Update]With Lu Xiaobus current reputation, holding a press conference was a piece of cake. Even if he specifically asked certain reporters to come. Those reporters, knowing full well that Xiaobu might give them a hard time, didnt dare not to show up. The location of the press conference was not set at Lu Groups building but rather in an office building. "Where exactly is it?" The reporters got out of their cars, standing by the roadside, looking around at several office buildings in confusion. Liang Lan had not informed them of the exact location, just told them to wait here and someone would come to pick them up. Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This Xiaobu really puts on airs." Su Feng muttered with dissatisfaction on his face: "He invited us to cover his news, and now hes actually making us wait so long." This Su Feng was the same guy who was scolded by the Wen Family Hall and Xiaobu at the summit. He was the main subject of attention this time. "Alright, keep it down," another reporter who knew him said: "Dont you know Xiaobus temper? Could you really handle it if he truly started to deal with you?" "Fine fine fine! Ill shut up." Su Feng said impatiently. He knew that he couldnt provoke Xiaobu. Everyone says they dare to be angry but not to speak, now they wont even let him be angry, huh? Xiaobu, you really are impressive! I know what youre trying to do; you just want us reporters who have a grudge against you to write articles for you, using the contrast to amplify your reputation right! But, you hit me last time, and now you expect me to promote you, youre probably wishing for too much. As time passed, more and more reporters gathered at this intersection. Although the weather was not very hot yet, the equipment on the reporters still made them break out in sweat. "Arent they coming?!" "Are they coming or what?!" "Really, whats this? Standing us up?!" "If theyre not coming, were leaving!" "Its him who invited us, and now hes putting on airs!" "..." More and more reporters began to express their discontent. These reporters had all, to some extent, slandered Xiaobu, so they werent in a good mood towards him, and now they were getting increasingly impatient! Therefore, quite a few reporters were determined to play some tricks when the time came. Not that they wont do the job, but as for the result, no guarantees! ... Xiaobu was currently sitting on the eighth floor of Building A. "Young Master, everyones here." Liang Lan said to Xiaobu: "Should we let them come up?" "Let them up?" Xiaobu stroked his chin and looked up at the rooftop of Building B across from him: "Sister Lan, can you see us from there?" "You should be able to." Liang Lan nodded her head. Then, she realized: "Young Master, are you saying..." "Yeah, Zhang Meng, go, take them up to see me." Xiaobu nodded his head: "Sister Lan, notify the opposite side, let their elevator break for a while!" "Got it!" A sly smile appeared on Liang Lans face; she knew what Young Master was planning. "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng also revealed a sly smile. ... Finally. "Theyre all here." Zhang Meng appeared in front of the reporters: "Lets go!" "Move it move it." Seeing Zhang Meng, the reporters immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This at least showed that Xiaobu didnt stand them up. Standing people up, others might not dare to, but Xiaobu absolutely would. The reporters also didnt dare to chat too much with Zhang Meng, after all, how powerful Zhang Meng was, they all knew a bit. Zhang Meng led the reporters toward Building B. Into the lobby. "The elevator is broken, lets take the stairs. Its not high." Zhang Meng didnt explain much and turned to head up the stairs. Su Feng heard what Zhang Meng said and curled his lip. He was a bit skeptical. He felt this must be deliberate sabotage. To make them climb stairs. In the end, he tried pressing the elevator button and found that it really wouldnt start. It didnt end there. Even when he asked the property management staff, upon hearing that the elevator had been broken for the past couple of days, he gave up. Seeing Su Fengs actions, the reporters exchanged glances, signalling understanding. "It seems like Xiaobu probably didnt pull any stunts." "And I bet the floor isnt that high either, after all, such a lazy guy as Lu Xiaobu, he would absolutely refuse if theres no elevator and he had to take the stairs." "Enough talk, lets get moving. The sooner we meet Lu Xiaobu, the sooner we can get to the main topic." "..." The journalists suspicions were answered, and they followed Zhang Meng into the stairwell. What they didnt realize was the sly smile playing on the corners of Zhang Mengs mouth. Then there was no other sound. Only the sound of footsteps and heavy breathing. The journalists, already sweating from the heat below, now climbing the stairs with their equipment, were utterly exhausted! They had climbed about five stories. "How come were not there yet?" "Yeah, it should be close, right?" "Should we ask?" "..." Before they could ask, Zhang Meng took the initiative to say: "The first few floors are shops, theres no space. People occupy the floors above, so we need to climb a few more levels, almost there." The journalists thought this sounded reasonable; indeed, the bottom floors were shops, and that seemed normal. Well then, nothing to do but climb. Huff, puff. Another ten stories passed. At this point, the journalists had sore legs and their clothes were soaked with sweat. They couldnt hold back any longer. "Mr. Zhang, how many floors to go?" Su Feng couldnt help but ask that question. "Were almost there, were on the fifteenth floor now, right? Just ahead. Were about to see the Young Master. Definitely going to see him." Zhang Meng said earnestly: "The Young Master must be getting impatient, lets hurry. If the Young Master loses his temper, none of us could bear it!" The journalists looked at each other and sighed. Well then, if thats the case, lets keep going! Zhang Meng said wed see the Young Master, so we should, right? They lifted their sore, damp legs and continued upwards. The sixteenth floor. The seventeenth floor. The eighteenth floor. The journalists started to gasp non-stop, having to lean on the handrail to catch their breath after every few steps, heads drenched in sweat, with the perspiration dripping continuously. They were truly exhausted. They looked up at Zhang Meng, wanting to ask again. But they found that Zhang Meng had long left them behind. And Su Feng, who was in the very front, saw a glimmer of light and heard the sound of a door closing. He was overjoyed: "Brothers, weve really made it, I saw Zhang Meng seems to have gone in, hurry up." A mirage to quench their thirst. Without knowing the destination, they were too tired to take another step. But now, seeing the goal right in front of them, they mustered their strength once more. The nineteenth floor. The twentieth floor. The twenty-first floor. The twenty-second floor. The higher they climbed, the more something seemed off. "This is not right! Isnt this almost at the top floor?" "Damn it! Lu Xiaobu is definitely playing with us. Is he planning to do the interview on the roof?!" "Huff, huff! Let me catch my breath. Thats not impossible! After all, what cant Lu Xiaobu do?" "But, if the elevator is broken, how did he get up here?!" "How hard can it be for him to come up? A helicopter would do the trick." "Lets go! Weve come this far, and if we really miss the interview, that would be a real loss." "..." The journalists all had one thought in mind: they had climbed so much, and if they didnt get to do the interview, it would be a huge disappointment. So, gritting their teeth, they climbed higher! Some with less physical strength were almost crawling on the last few floors! Climbing with hands and feet! They were truly tired! Climbing stairs alone would have been manageable, but they had equipment with them. The more tired their bodies became, the more resentment towards Lu Xiaobu grew in their hearts. Finally! They arrived! Indeed, it was the rooftop! They burst through the door in a rage, ready to confront Lu Xiaobu. And then. They went insane! Chapter 366 - 365: Can You Have Some Shame? [2nd Update] Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Can You Have Some Shame? [2nd Update]Su Feng was the first one to rush to the doorway. His heart was filled with anger, and the anger temporarily filled his exhausted legs with strength. He had it all planned out, he was ready to fiercely confront Lu Xiaobu. Even if he got beaten up, he was ready to risk it! "Bang!" He furiously pushed open the door to the rooftop. But to his surprise, he found that Lu Xiaobu was nowhere to be seen. Only Zhang Meng stood there at the edge of the rooftop, smoking a cigarette. "Where is he?!" Su Feng was utterly baffled. He felt like his punch had landed on cotton, and it was an incredibly frustrating feeling. Other reporters also surged in. Each and every one of them had an angry expression, ready to demand answers. Then, just like Su Feng, their faces turned to puzzled dismay. They looked around in disbelief. "Where is he?" "Yeah, wheres Lu Xiaobu?" "Wasnt he supposed to be here?" "Could he be hiding?!" "..." In the end, they turned their gaze towards Zhang Meng. "Mr. Zhang, could you please give us an explanation?!" "Please give us an explanation!" "Where exactly is Lu Xiaobu?!" "..." "Young Master? The Young Master is over there, in Building A! I brought you here especially so you could see clearly, well, off you go, Im going to smoke." Zhang Meng pointed towards Building A across the way, blew a ring of smoke, and said nonchalantly. "Pfft!" All the reporters felt like spitting blood for three kilometers! Damn it, Kendi! You freaking made us climb more than twenty floors, from the ground floor to the rooftop, just to tell us that Lu Xiaobu is across the freaking way?! And you were worried we couldnt see clearly?! Yes, now we freaking see clearly, crystal clear! Even zooming in with our cameras, we can see Lu Xiaobus face. But do we freaking need this?! Climbing more than twenty floors, exhausted like dogs, just to stand here and look at where Lu Xiaobu is?! Do you think were all idiots who cant find our way?! "Dont mind it, I didnt deceive you guys, you did see the Young Master, right?" Zhang Meng spoke with bogus earnestness. Upon hearing this, the reporters faces turned even redder with rage. Go to hell! Zhang Meng, if it werent for the fact that we cant beat you, wed fight you to the death today! The reporters were like souls lost, collapsing on the ground, looking up at the sky, and sighing with a desire to weep but no tears. Thinking about the more than twenty floors they still had to go down, they were utterly devastated! Who can tell me, if I jump off here, I wont die?! We really dont want to climb anymore! "Now that youve seen clearly, go on then, the Young Master is waiting for you." Zhang Meng leaned against the wall and continued. "Sigh!" The reporters glared at Zhang Meng through gritted teeth. But they were too angry to speak up! Finally. "Lets go!" Su Feng bit his teeth. Alright, Ill tough it out with you today. Isnt it just climbing stairs! Ill climb! Seeing Su Feng taking the lead, the other reporters also silently held their breath. With a cold snort, they went downstairs. Zhang Meng continued to wait. ... After a while, guessing that enough time had passed, Zhang Meng made a phone call. Then! He went to the elevator and pressed the button to call it. ... Su Feng and the others came out of the stairwell, out of breath. Although they were going downstairs, they were still very tired. And they had to worry about whether they would roll down the stairs because of weak legs. "Finally, were down." The reporters let out a breath of relief, and without any regard for their image, they all sat down on the ground with their butts. Too tired. As they sat, they began to think about how to give Lu Xiaobu a hard time next. The news should be written this way. Then! Ding! The sound came from the elevator nearby. The elevator doors opened. Zhang Meng walked out leisurely. The reporters went completely mad at this scene. Can you imagine their expressions right now? Their fists are clenched so tightly, their nails are digging into their flesh! Bloodshot eyes, wishing they could punch Zhang Meng right in his leisurely face! Damn it to hell! Dammit! Dammit! Cant the Lu family have any shame?! Bullying people so blatantly?! Were as tired as dogs, climbing up and down. We climbed down. But you came out from the elevator! Youre really too much! Way too much! "Lets hurry, the Young Master must be getting impatient." Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhang Meng said leisurely, then walked out the front door. Letting you bastards make up stories. Maybe youll talk less now! ... After a while, the journalists, faces a mixture of collapse and anger, finally met Lu Xiaobu. This time for real! "The press conference is now officially beginning!" Liang Lan announced from the stage. After briefly explaining, she said, "Okay, now its time for the Q&A session." Usually, once it reaches the Q&A session, the journalists would talk incessantly. But now! Not a single one of these journalists is speaking; theyre all slumped in their chairs. Some even have their eyes closed, almost asleep! Damn tired! Now asking them to pose sharp questions? Their brains have practically stopped working! Still asking questions? What kind of freaking questions?! Right now, they just want to go home and sleep! "If you dont have any questions, then allow me to pose one for you," said Lu Xiaobu with a smug smile on his face. Think you can slander me? Ill tire you out so much, you wont be able to speak! No one answered. Lu Xiaobu continued, speaking for himself, "I know you all want to say something to me. How about this! Describe me in one word. You can write it down anonymously and send it to me, and I swear right here that I wont get angry over this!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the journalists eyes suddenly lit up. Really?! Isnt Lu Xiaobu just asking them to curse at him?! Lu Xiaobu looking for an insult?! It feels a bit like hes joking around?! They couldnt quite believe it. "Really, no ones speaking up? Then I wont offer the chance anymore," Lu Xiaobu said with a shrug, indifferently. "Wait a minute, Ill write!" Su Feng was the first to prop himself up with the chairs support and stood up, "Swear you wont get angry." "I swear. Of course, you cant write any swear words or curse someones mother. I believe you are all cultured people, who would not use such crude language," said Lu Xiaobu assuredly. "Of course!" Su Feng said through gritted teeth, "How should we write it? Where do we write it?" He absolutely did not want to miss the chance to insult Lu Xiaobu right to his face. Although he didnt know what Lu Xiaobu was up to. But getting to insult Lu Xiaobu, that was worth it! "Sister Lan." Lu Xiaobu arranged with Liang Lan. "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan went to make arrangements. At this point, the other journalists also exclaimed, "We want to write too! Yes, we have something to say too!" "Alright! Everyone can write!" Lu Xiaobu welcomed all comers. Come on, curse to your hearts content! As long as you dont use swear words, the harsher the better! Because you will go down in history for this! Chapter 367 - 366: You Use Newspapers, I Use History [Third Update, Bonus - for Wan Star Reward] Chapter 367: Chapter 366: You Use Newspapers, I Use History [Third Update, Bonus Chapter for Wan Star Reward]I must say, these journalists really harbor some deep resentment towards Lu Xiaobu. So, very quickly, they voiced their thoughts. Theyre also looking for loopholes. They can avoid using profanities. But adjectives, thats not too much, right? So, words like idiot, lunatic, mentally challenged, dumbass, psychopath, and so on, were all freely used. Each of them had a face filled with the desire for revenge. The feeling of being able to curse someone out in broad daylight, especially cursing Lu Xiaobu, was truly exhilarating! However... "Alright, now lets start naming Hope Primary School," Lu Xiaobu stood up and said: "Given our strained relationship in the past, I want to make it up to you by giving you the chance to name it." "Okay, Ive got the method, just use your names combined with the notes you gave me as your names." As soon as these words were spoken. A look of horror spread across the faces of all the journalists. What!? Using our names plus the notes we wrote?! What kind of joke is this?! Thats Hope Primary School! Using their names plus those things they wrote as the name!? That would be broadcasting their disgrace nationwide! Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And at this moment, Lu Xiaobu had already begun speaking. "Okay, first up, Su Feng, Im just going to randomly pick a note," Lu Xiaobu drew a note: "Not bad, Su Feng Idiot Hope Primary School, there we have the first name. Sister Lan, jot it down." "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan said with a mischievous grin. Young Master is really too cheeky, how could he come up with such an idea, this is to torment these journalists to death! "Pfft!" Su Feng nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood! What? Su Feng Idiot Hope Primary School?! If this name really gets used, then hell become nationally infamous! Just imagine how the news would report it! Lu Xiaobu donates to build a hundred Hope Primary Schools, and their names include Su Feng Idiot Hope Primary School... Isnt this spreading shame across the entire country?! Especially in the future, when those primary schools officially open. Just by looking at the school nameSu Feng Idiot! Damn, he cant even bear to imagine that scene! Damn it all! Lu Xiaobu, are you trying to tarnish my name for eternity?! At this moment, Lu Xiaobu was continuing. "Wang Lei Retard Primary School." "Wu Tianhu Moron Primary School." "Zhang Tianqi Crazy Primary School." "..." Every time he announced a name, a corresponding journalist would go mad. They all regretted it deeply! Are they insane? Giving Lu Xiaobu so many such terms?! If they had written saint, hero, good Samaritan! Wouldnt they have made a name for themselves through the ages?! So much for making a name for themselves? This is leaving a foul stench for millennia! "Lu Xiaobu, no, Young Master Bu! Think about it..." Su Feng became more and more frightened, eventually unable to restrain himself, he stood up with legs in pain, and looked at Lu Xiaobu obsequiously: "This isnt quite right, is it? Look, you funded the school, using our names isnt appropriate!" "Thats right, thats right! Its completely inappropriate!" "I actually think the name Young Master Bu Hope Primary School is pretty good!" "Young Master Bu the Hero isnt bad either!" "Or how about Saint Xiaobu! Each of these names is better than using ours!" "..." They were all scared too! In fact, those terms like idiot and lunatic, while not overly offensive, would actually never be approved. But still, they were frightened! Theyre just wordsmiths, they know there are too many ways to muddle through. By then, lets not even mention the shame that stinks for thousands of years. At the very least, theyll definitely be unable to mix in the journalist circle. This Lu Xiaobu is too ruthless, hes after their lives! They use newspapers to slander others, and its just a matter of time. But Lu Xiaobu? He directly uses such large structures to smear them! This isnt a matter of time, but a lifetime, even after their deaths they will still be cursed and slandered! This tactic is too cruel! Apart from Lu Xiaobu, probably no one else could pull it off! So, they have no choice but to be afraid, to beg for mercy, to curry favor! "No way! Our relationship is so good, using your names, I believe we can definitely educate many good children." Lu Xiaobu seriously spouted utter nonsense! Fabricating lies?! You try fabricating another story for me. "Young Master Bu, how about this, you say it, what do you want? I, Su Feng, am ready to go through fire and water for you!" Su Feng clenched his teeth, stamped his foot, and directly pledged his loyalty. He figured it out. Others they might not fear, but Lu Xiaobu they must! Lu Xiaobus unorthodox methods are too cruel. They cant disobey! The other reporters heard this. And they also came to their senses. "Yes! Young Master Bu, any orders you give, we will not hesitate to carry out!" "Please spare us!" "Young Master Bu is awesome! Please show us mercy!" "..." Before, these reporters hated Lu Xiaobu, now all that has turned into fear! They have no choice but to submit, to pledge their loyalty! "Going through fire and water!? Not necessary." Lu Xiaobu smiled, stood up, and walked away with big strides. Thats enough for now, the rest can be handled by Sister Lan talking to them. ... Liang Lan looked at the reporters who were arrogantly insufferable before but now meekly subservient and curled her lips into a cold smile. Good that they learned fear! Is Young Master Bu someone they can slander?! Of course, shes not really going to repackage these names and then submit them. She will keep these names and these notes in her hands. This is leverage! And it is evidence. Unscrupulous journalists, when used properly, can be beneficial. After all, they can smear others from various tricky angles, just as they can also praise others from tricky angles. Having such a group of people in the news industry speak for Lu Group can save a lot of trouble! ... The next day, the newspaper reported about Lu Xiaobu establishing Hope Primary School. And it detailed that for every bottle of cola purchased, one dime would be donated to Hope Primary School. These news articles were full of praise for Lu Xiaobu and Lu Group, through and through. And there were even harsher ones. For instance, Su Feng, not only praised but also attached an apology letter. The apology had all sorts of contrition, all sorts of requests for Lu Xiaobus forgiveness. He said Lu Xiaobu was what, an educator, a soul mentor, his previous news pieces were all slander against Lu Xiaobu, and here he expressed his apologies. Furthermore, he called on everyone to buy more cola, to support such a charitable and loving enterprise. These reporters who were previously against Lu Xiaobu, now issuing such statements, for the public, this was certainly stimulating and trustworthy. Lu Xiaobus good deeds had moved these enemies, what ground did they have to not support Lu Group, to not support Lu Xiaobu?! For a time, with the news, the cola sales surged once again! Only Su Feng and these reporters were crying without tears, moved?! They simply didnt dare to act! Chapter 368 - 367 System Notification [4th Update for Star Appreciation] Chapter 368: Chapter 367 System Notification [4th Update for Star Appreciation]The extensive media coverage this time has brought in a bountiful harvest for Lu Group. After all, Lu Group is unified. When the cola sales go up, its impossible for other sales not to rise. As a result, Lu Xiaobus position on the Rich List has climbed once again. Adding to the continuous big news from the previous period, this time, Lu Xiaobus ranking didnt just creep up one by one. Instead, he shot up directly to the tenth spot! Top ten! This is the top ten were talking about! What does this represent? It represents that Lu Xiaobus net worth has now reached around nine billion! Hes now among the most elite of the Third Level Rich List. "Lu Xiaobu is awesome! This rise was too fast!" "I remember last year the Lu Family wasnt even the richest in Shimen, right?" "Yeah, it seems like its been a long time, but in fact, its been less than a year and Lu Group made it to the top ten of the Third Level Rich List!" "I guess its only a matter of time before he becomes number one!" "..." Not just them, even the Wen Family Hall felt a huge sense of crisis upon seeing the rankings. Lu Group is too strong, the Iron Cavalry is too strong, Lu Xiaobu is too strong. Just look at how much money did Lu Xiaobu spend this time? Merely fifty million. To be honest, all of these top ten billionaires on the Rich List do philanthropy. And they all give more than fifty million. But guess what? Their media exposure is nowhere near that of Lu Group! At most, they get mentioned a few times. But when it comes to Lu Xiaobu, its blanket coverage by the news. He couldnt figure out why Lu Xiaobu was so special!? Well, a new round of analysis started once again. ... They can analyze all they want, but Lu Xiaobu doesnt care about them. "Host, got anything fun? Ive been so bored lately!" The system said, listlessly. "Why cant you just say what you want to do? Why beat around the bush?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "Hehe, um..." The system chuckled awkwardly. Got called out again. He actually didnt want to say it outright because right now, this is how they are. Whoever speaks first ends up paying a price. Look at the past few times, Lu Xiaobu had it find those famous quotes, and he managed to trick Lu Xiaobu. He had planned to make Lu Xiaobu be the one to bring it up this time. But he was seen through. "Fine, I feel like listening to music. There has been nothing good recently, just the same old songs over and over." The system said, helplessly. "Get to the point!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I want to watch Heavenly Dynastys Voice." This time, the system got straight to the point. "Heavenly Dynastys Voice? Easy, tell me, whats in it for me?" Lu Xiaobu started bargaining from his position. He really thought he didnt know that the system had tricked him before! Now he had to get his revenge. "Our relationship, you see..." The system tried to weasel out. "Get to the point." Lu Xiaobu said again. "Okay, okay, okay, as usual, Ill go get you something, definitely the good stuff, okay?" The system said helplessly. "Good, thats settled then. Get me all the plans and stuff for The Voice, and Ill take care of it!" Lu Xiaobu agreed to the systems condition. In this regard, the system didnt dare to fool him. After all, they were in a partnership, and if it tricked him this time, then next time, hmph! Since the decision was made, Lu Xiaobu didnt dwell on it any longer. "Sister Lan, get ready, were starting a talent show." Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan. "A variety show?" Liang Lan was somewhat puzzled: "Young Master, arent you the one who dislikes those stars who are all face and no substance the most?" She was a bit confused about Xiaobus thoughts. In her mind, so-called talent shows were essentially beauty contests. Being beautiful was the only thing that mattered; the rest was fake, just a formality. "What do you mean all face? This time, were only looking for voices, we wont care about the rest." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "Only looking for voices?" Liang Lan was taken aback: "How is that going to work!?" "The competition format is similar to other traditional singing shows - first a general audition, then coaches pick their teams, followed by intra-team competitions and the finals; thats roughly how it goes." Lu Xiaobu read from the plan provided by the system, wanting to see Liang Lans shocked expression, and then take the opportunity to... cough cough cough! "But if you think the show is that simple, youd be wrong." "The show follows a traditional format, but the core selling point is different." "When arranging the venue and equipment, the key is the coaches chairs." "During the blind auditions, the coaches chairs will face away from the stage; they wont see the contestants." "The coaches wont know if theyre tall, short, fat, thin, or even if theyre male or female; they can only hear their voices." "Contestants will be judged solely on their vocal talents, which is also the purpose behind the shows name, Heavenly Dynastys Good Voice!" Yeah, he read it straight from the script. Mainly because he was lying on Liang Lans lap, and even though she was used to his antics, it was still best not to be too bizarre. So this time, he had the system give him a mind-version. From what he had seen of Earths "The Voice", he believed Liang Lan would be absolutely thrilled after hearing it. However... "Uh... Young Master, are you serious? This isnt like selling products where there will always be buyers; this is a talent show, its different." Liang Lan said tactfully. She felt it wasnt very feasible. "Sister Lan, just speak frankly." Lu Xiaobu gestured for her to go on. "Alright." Liang Lan thought for a moment and then said: "Young Master, this kind of talent show isnt like running real businesses, its too focused on the shows effect." "Just think, if the stage is filled with unremarkable-looking contestants, short, fat, etc., then clearly it will severely affect the shows appeal." "The visual presentation would be destroyed. Why would the audience want to watch?" "In my understanding, the bottom line for a talent show, to put it bluntly, is that you need contestants who are hot topics, people with outstanding looks and figure who can sing well to bolster the shows presence." "Young Master, its not that Im worried about other issues, Im just concerned that because of this show, youll get criticized again, and that makes me uneasy. If Young Master wants to hear singing, we could just invite some stars to hold a concert!" Liang Lan finished speaking. She was speaking from the heart. If it were face-to-face criticism, she could send Zhang Meng, or even step in herself to take care of the offender. But this kind of criticism from the audience, they take advantage of anonymity, and it could be quite harsh. She really didnt want to see that. "So essentially, you think if there are no pretty faces or sad stories, nobody will watch, right!?" Lu Xiaobu summed it up. Lu Xiaobu also knew why Liang Lan said what she did. He had met plenty of stars in this world. This world was exactly like that; too few were famous purely for their acting or singing. Without good looks, it was almost as if you had nothing! "Yes," Liang Lan nodded: "Thats about what I mean." "Relax and go through with it! Its definitely going to be a hit." Lu Xiaobu asserted confidently. Chapter 369 - 368: Not Possible?! [5th Release, Extra for Xing Wan Reward] Chapter 369: Chapter 368: Not Possible?! [5th Release, Extra for Xing Wan Reward]Lu Xiaobu promptly dispatched Liang Lan for the arrangements. However, producing a variety show is not that simple. A variety of factors must be taken into account, particularly as it will be broadcast on television. Consequently, after weighing pros and cons, Liang Lan opted for the simplest and most appropriate method. That is to collaborate with a television station. And the most suitable collaboration would naturally be with Shimen TV Station. After all, its easier when its on ones own turf. After initial communications, the other party expressed a keen interest and requested to meet Young Master in person. After consulting with Lu Xiaobu, he also gave his approval. A television station is not personal property and cannot be handled too casually. "President Lu, I have long admired you!" The head of the TV station extended his hand. Although young, Lu Xiaobu is Shimens definitive richest man and of equal standing. "Young Master, this is Mr. Nie Lixin, the head of Shimen TV Station." Liang Lan introduced from the side. "Hello, Mr. Nie." Lu Xiaobu also smiled and shook hands. "I know Mr. Lu dislikes pleasantries, so lets cut straight to the chase," said Mr. Nie directly. "Okay." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Clearly, he is also straightforward, which suits Lu Xiaobus taste. "Miss Liang mentioned that President Lu wants to create a talent show called Heavenly Dynastys Got Talent?" Mr. Nie continued. "Thats correct, what do you think?" Nie Lixin didnt beat around the bush, and neither did Lu Xiaobu. "Ill speak frankly, please dont take offense, however, if President Lu just wants to play around, thats fine. We can allocate a slot for broadcasting. But if President Lu truly wants to create a program, honestly, Im not very optimistic." Lu Xiaobu: "Because there are no handsome men or beautiful women? No tragic backgrounds?" Mr. Nie gave a wry smile, as Lu Xiaobu was even more direct, "It sounds crude, but thats exactly right." Lu Xiaobu liked Mr. Nies nature and was happy to explain further. "Why cant talent shows escape the trope of handsome men and beautiful women?" "This is just your industrys mindset being stuck, caging yourselves. My Heavenly Dynastys Got Talent aims to do the opposite." "Contrarily, thats exactly why audiences watch and love such shows. Moreover, I didnt say handsome men and beautiful women are forbidden from performing on Heavenly Dynastys Got Talent, did I?" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If a contestant truly sings well, thats naturally also acceptable, but on the Heavenly Dynastys Got Talent stage, the proportion of handsome men and beautiful women will be small. The majority will still be contestants with ordinary looks." Lu Xiaobu spoke leisurely. Leaving Nie Lixin at a loss for words. This President Lu is truly formidable, it seems the rumors out in the world really cant be believed. "To be honest, its still not enough." Mr. Nie shook his head, "It still cant convince me." "Okay, lets simplify it. Are these three words, Lu Xiaobu, enough?" Lu Xiaobu crossed his arms on the table, "Which variety show currently has the highest viewership?" "Imperial TVs Hot Voice, also a talent show. It has a 0.8% viewership!" Mr. Nie said with a hint of envy. Shimen TV Station has always struggled, unable to even dream of a 0.8% viewership. The stations goal has always been 0.3%; achieving a 0.3% viewership would be cause for celebration. "Good, 0.8% it is! If it doesnt reach 0.8%, I promise you one thing, anything goes." Lu Xiaobu stated bluntly. Since explanations arent working, he wouldnt bother explaining. "Uh..." Mr. Nie was stunned for a moment, forcing a smile, "President Lu, are you perhaps misunderstanding something about viewership ratings? This 0.8% may seem small, but its not! It represents a very large number of people." "No matter the amount! Just like that!" Lu Xiaobu insisted decisively, "You produce it according to my idea, Ill give you the viewership you want, and dont worry about the rest. If my show doesnt achieve it, Ill promise you anything!" "Um..." Nie Lixin was deep in thought. He was pondering whether to trust Lu Xiaobu. To be honest, from his professional viewpoint, this show wouldnt work! This show completely goes against normal conventions. To put it bluntly, its like when you watch an adult film for that thing, and it doesnt show it until the last three seconds, would you watch it then? But still, those three words, Lu Xiaobu, made him hesitate. Lu Xiaobu had always been a miracle maker, could this time be a miracle too?! Time was running out, and so was Lu Xiaobus patience. "Forget it, Sister Lan, lets find another TV station." Lu Xiaobu stood up. "President Lu, please wait!" Nie Lixin stood up, taking a deep breath, "Alright, I agree! Ill give you what you want, but besides your conditions, I want to add one more: if the first episodes viewership is not impressive, I reserve the right to adjust its timeslot." He couldnt possibly keep giving prime time to a low-rated show. "Okay, its settled then," said Lu Xiaobu nonchalantly. Even though he wasnt aware of what a 0.8% viewership actually meant, he believed Heavenly Dynastys Got Talent would shine in this world that had never seen such a show before! Besides, stepping back ten thousand steps, it was only the system that wanted to watch it, so if it didnt work out, he could just ask the system to compensate him! "Alright! Ill go mad with President Lu just this once," said Nie Lixin, "Ill allocate the best of everything in my station to you." "Good, Ill just take a look." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Soon, personnel, settings, equipment, stages, and so on were all in place. This was Mr. Nie pulling resources from various programs to support this venture. Just as he said, he was ready to go mad with Lu Xiaobu. At this moment, these people had more or less discontent on their faces. "Whats the boss thinking?!" "Is he making us form a new team?!" "Seriously? My show is on the right track!" "Yeah, and why was I called over with you?!" "Arent you satisfied? Who are you showing off to?!" "Its just a little achievement, barely higher than mine by 0.01%, and youre showing off?" "So what if I am? My programs at 0.18%, someone elses at 0.17%, why shouldnt I be proud?" "..." These were all the top talents of Shimen TV Station, naturally none conceded to the others. Just a few words, and they were already squabbling. Thankfully, everyone was mostly restrained and didnt come to blows. However, they hadnt fought, but their dissatisfaction with the person who gathered them began to grow. Mixing them up and not showing up yet, making them wait! Wasnt this just looking for trouble? They would definitely need to vent their anger soon! Chapter 370 - 369: Behind the Scenes? [6th Update, Bonus for Star Reward] Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Behind the Scenes? [6th Update, Bonus for Star Reward]Nie Lixin arrived late with Lu Xiaobu. Upon arrival, they saw these people squabbling. "What are you all quarreling about?" Nie Lixin immediately reprimanded, then smiled at Lu Xiaobu and said, "Mr. Lu, sorry for the joke this has become." "Its fine." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. Nie Lixin grimaced as he introduced these people to Lu Xiaobus identity and the show that was to be produced. When these people heard that it was actually Lu Xiaobu... Their faces were all smiles. "Young Master Lu, hello!" "Young Master Bu, greetings!" "Young Master Lu, please take a seat." "..." Well, they were even more cordial than when they saw Nie Lixin. No way around it, Lu Xiaobu was wealthy! Lu Xiaobu was pleased with this reaction: "Reward each person with five thousand." Li Jin came forward to distribute the money. "Thanks to Young Master Bu, Young Master Bu, for generations to come, supreme over Jianghu!" Everyone immediately expressed their gratitude. Someone said, werent you supposed to give Lu Xiaobu a hard time? What? What did you say? We didnt hear clearly; we have selective amnesia! Another said, for five thousand bucks, you would sell your integrity?! Heh heh, if you really had the money, for five thousand bucks, isnt a compliment worth it to you? Come on, give me five thousand, and I will give you two compliments! One more than Young Master Bu! Seeing this, Nie Lixin thought, alright, his part was done, and he quietly slipped away. Things got back on track. These talents wrinkled their brows once they understood the program that Lu Xiaobu wanted to do. However you put it, they were still talents and had some capital. Elder Wang frowned and said, "Young Master Bu, are you really going to do this show?" "Of course, I am." Xiaobu shrugged. "Do I look like Im joking?" One named Li Zuo suggested, "Dont mind me saying this, Young Master Bu." "Actually, this The Voice could totally be tweaked." "On the surface, we can fool the audience with this gimmick of not looking at faces, just listening to voices." "Then, in reality, continue to follow the usual selection show norms and rules, mostly inviting contestants who are passably good-looking." "We can also give the coaches a heads up, letting the celebrity coaches know the contestants info beforehand, pre-arranging some good-looking contenders who are hot topics and can draw attention. This way, we can still achieve our goal." Another named Zhang Feng lit up: "This is not bad at all!" Lu Xiaobu sneered: "Nonsense! Since when do I, Lu Xiaobu, have to pander to others or engage in dirty tricks?" Instantly vetoed! Everyone smirked and fell silent. They felt the same as Nie Lixin and thought it wouldnt work. After all, this new show would affect the future and performance of their new production team members. They were indeed deeply concerned and could not afford to be careless. But now with Lu Xiaobu being stubbornly opinionated, they were truly at a loss. After some thought, they still gritted their teeth and asked, "Young Master Bu, did you make a bet? A 0.8% viewership rating?" "Yeah!" Lu Xiaobu nodded and laughed, "You all are pretty well-informed." The group was speechless. This place was small; what could they possibly not know? sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If they didnt know in the beginning, fine, but now after understanding the situation and still not knowing, theyd be fools. Li Zuo was somewhat dizzy: "A 0.8% viewership rating? Young Master Bu, do you not realize the significance of this number?" Zhang Feng also looked unhappy: "Hot Voice is the singing show with the highest viewership and most successful reputation this year, and its peak rating was just around 0.8%!" "Even then, during their lows, it might be 0.7%, or even less. Our new show, starting with a demand for 0.8% average viewership rating?" "Young Master Bu, are you really not going to reconsider?!" "Quit the damn yapping. Whatever I say, thats what youll do." Lu Xiaobu got impatient. Why were they all like Nie Lixin? 0.8%? Would "The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty" not reach 0.8%? What a joke?! Although he didnt know details, he remembered that back on Earth, "The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty" had ratings in the units of percentages, not fraction of a percent. Let the show debut and smack down their disbelief. Cant be bothered to explain anymore. This time, Lu Xiaobu actually wanted to take personal command. Because none of these people believed in "Heavenly Dynastys Good Voice"; at least Chen Feiyang believed in "A Chinese Odyssey" back then, so it was reassuring to leave it to him. But what about now? Not a single believer, how could he be at ease? Holding this state of mind, even if its doable, its not acceptable! So, better do it himself! "Wheres the venue?" Lu Xiaobu gestured grandly. "Ill lead the way for you," said Li Zuo, heading on in front. Upon seeing the venue. "Uh... this small?" Lu Xiaobu surveyed the venue and to be frank, he was somewhat dissatisfied, it was too small. "Young Master Bu, this is already the largest venue the station has," Li Zuo said with a wry smile, helplessly. He didnt understand why Station Manager Nie Lixin was insane to the point of giving Lu Xiaobu the biggest venue. "Uh... lets change locations." Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan, "Sister Lan, take care of this, how about fifty million. I trust you with this!" "Alright, Young Master." Liang Lan felt resigned; Young Master Bu was acting temperamental because he was provoked by these people. Thats how Young Master Bu is, if he doesnt do something, he doesnt do it at all; if he does, he does it to the best. It looks like its time to think of a solution. After all, the Young Master cant wait. "And the equipment?" Lu Xiaobu continued to inquire. "These are the latest equipment from our station, last year..." Li Zuo continued. "Thats enough, dont say more, Sister Lan, how much for the best equipment?" Lu Xiaobu interrupted Li Zuo. "At least ten million," Liang Lan pondered before answering. "Fine, also fifty million, get two sets, one to use, one as backup." Lu Xiaobu was bold and extravagant. "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded. The others swallowed their saliva one after another. Is this the world of the wealthy? What, hadnt even started doing anything yet, and just the venue and equipment have already cost a hundred million?! Sorry, poverty has limited our imagination. After finishing this discussion, there was a sudden silence at the scene. Everyone exchanged glances. Was that it? Arent the venue and equipment just the basics? Why stop talking after arranging those? What they didnt know was that Lu Xiaobu was looking at the detailed planning book the system gave him. But since they didnt know, they had to ask. "Young Master Bu?" Li Zuo tentatively asked, "What about the rest?" "The rest? What rest?" Lu Xiaobu was momentarily puzzled. "Like the production and copywriting for the promotional video?" Li Zuo sighed, Young Master Lu really was an amateur! "Oh, that, Ill find someone to do it," Lu Xiaobu nodded. Zhang Feng was flabbergasted, "What about inviting the coaches to join...?" Lu Xiaobu said, "Ill handle the contacts." Wu Yi was taken aback, "Then the advertising slogans..." Lu Xiaobu replied, "Once the website is up, Ill get someone to write them." Wu Yi, "But surely for advertising sponsors and title sponsorship you cant also..." Lu Xiaobu said, "All under my company." "Huh?!" Everyone was dumbfounded! Youre doing it all!? Then what are we here for!? Lu Xiaobu was really on a roll this time; if he didnt do it, he wouldnt bother, but since he was doing it personally, he would do it to the best! 0.8%? If I dont crush the universe, consider it my loss! Chapter 371 - 370: A Name Worth a Show [1 Update] Chapter 371: Chapter 370: A Name Worth a Show [1 Update]On the very night. Shimen TV Stations official website posted an advertisement "Shimen TV Station teams up with Lu Xiaobu for a major singing talent show Hot Voice now open for registration!" Below is the program introduction: No matter your looks, height, age, or occupation, as long as you have a great singing voice and a passion for music, come and apply! What are you waiting for? Registration Phone One: 400-8XXXXXXX. Registration Phone Two: 400-8XXXXXXX. Contact: "The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty" program team. Well, it wasnt Lu Xiaobu who asked for it to be posted, the program team took the initiative. After all, doing nothing would be simply too boring. However, it was pointless. The ad was like adding a drop of water to the ocean, creating no splash, a perfect dive! Full score! Cough cough cough! This made several members of the program team feel incredibly awkward. But they were used to it, as their official websites daily hits wouldnt even match that of a D-list celebritys Weibo. And at this time, Lu Xiaobu also posted a Weibo update. "Uh, I, Young Master Bu, feel like listening to some songs, so I started a talent show. Those bored to tears can give it a try, um, Im not listening to the voice... pff, Im only listening to the voice, not looking at the appearance, height, age, or profession. Also, dont bring me any sob stories, thats all, for the phone number, find it yourself." Well, the most capricious program advertisement in history! Yet it was such an arbitrary ad that sparked a heated discussion instantly. Not for anything else, just for the name Lu Xiaobu. "Lu Xiaobu is organizing a talent show?" "And hes not looking at the voice... pff, only at the voice?!" "Bored to tears can give it a try?!" Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What the heck kind of advertisement is this?!" "Also, is it really okay to not post the phone number? Where are we supposed to find it?!" "Alright, Ive found it. Shimen TV Station posted it; heres a screenshot for you guys." "The name The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty sounds kinda tacky!" As the discussion heated up, countless netizens flocked to watch! Many from the TV industry were also paying close attention! After all, this was the first time Lu Xiaobu had organized a talent show, and he was still as non-conventional as ever. A Weibo-verified industry professional from Jingxi Province TV said: "Irrespective of appearance? Profession? Age? Can a talent show even be done like this? Wheres the appeal?" "It sounds a bit innovative, but if they really run a talent show like this, the program will struggle to get many viewers and will likely become a niche show that only garners a bit of a good reputation." "I predict the ratings wont go over 0.4%!" Well, this person was relatively courteous to Lu Xiaobu, not saying something too harsh. In reality, what they actually thought wasthis crappy show paired with the crappy TV station, even 0.2% would be solely dependent on Lu Xiaobus name. Another professional. "Regardless of appearance and age? Isnt this just a gimmick? No TV station would truly dare to defy the market laws of talent shows." "So at the end of the day, this program is just a traditional singing contest, no different from other singing shows." "I really dont get it. With singing talent shows flooding everywhere, almost four or five launch each month, and everyones tired of watching them. Its well-known that the ratings are suffering." "Does Lu Xiaobu think he can turn the entire market around by himself?!" Some questioned: "Given Lu Xiaobus style, he cant be unaware of this. Could it really be like the introduction says, he wants to do a talent show that only listens to the voice?" "That cant be right!" "Even if it were Lu Xiaobu, he wouldnt dare do such a thing." "Who would watch a talent show that only judges voices?" Most insiders from the television circle were quite pessimistic, similar to the reaction of the people at Shimen TV Station. The netizens were also highly divided in opinion, but Lu Xiaobus hardcore fans unequivocally supported him. "Support Lu Xiaobu!" "Lu Xiaobu is a miracle maker!" "Haha, looking forward to it!" "Experience tells us, never ever question Lu Xiaobus god-tier planning, otherwise, when the dust settles, youll find your face has swollen!" "Right, even though I dont get the mystery behind Heavenly Dynastys Good Voice, I still support it unconditionally, no question." "Exactly, if not for anything else, just for the moment when Lu Xiaobu smacks the faces of those professionals! Hahahaha, just thinking about it gets me excited!" However, many other netizens arent so optimistic. "A talent show based solely on voice? Too niche!" "Yeah, if the contestant is super ugly and only four feet six, even if they can sing well, no one is going to like them, right? Who would watch that? People want to see beauties!" "Agreed, judging solely by the voice isnt reliable, right?" "I admit that a singer needs to have a good voice primarily, but looks are important too. After all, they need to be public figures, the kind that people would like at first sight, no?" "Is Lu Xiaobu trying to revolutionize the traditional singing competition domain?" "I agree with what the industry insider said earlier, judging only by voice is likely a gimmick, a bluff, a distraction. In reality, its the same old routine." "..." The people at Shimen TV Station are feeling the headache. Theyre professionals, they of course know that whether its being cursed at or praised, stirring up a hot debate is the key. But the ads they posted on their official website, utterly useless. However, a willful Weibo post from Lu Xiaobu caused a sensation across the entire internet. Damn it, they feel miserable inside, like crying! ... Regarding these online discussions, even those cursing him, Lu Xiaobu is somewhat numb to them. To be honest, he knows that no matter what you do, the world is never short of trolls. No matter how well you do, its impossible to please everyone. Just like some flop author, who still gets cursed at every day, cough cough cough! So, what he needs to do is just to proceed and swell their faces, thats it. Of course, sometimes he would retort a bit, just to vent! While he was cursing... err, I mean, chatting, the program team called. "Young Master Bu, someone wants to buy the title and special sponsorship, and the price theyre offering is quite high, what do you think..." The caller is Zhang Feng. Just like they post ads on their official website, theyre not really going to do nothing, so they go out and make their own opportunities. Finding sponsors is one of those things. "How much?" Lu Xiaobu casually asked. "For the title sponsorship, someones offering thirty million." Zhang Fengs heart was trembling when he mentioned this number. Too awesome! When they went out to get ad placements in the past, they had to beg and flatter and sweet-talk everyone, and even then, they hardly made any money. But this time, they went out for sponsorships without saying much, just mentioned Lu Xiaobu. Done, the people replied directly - thirty million, I want the title sponsorship! Is this the terrible influence of Lu Xiaobu? You should know that even the hottest and continuously popular second season of Hot Voice only had a title sponsorship fee of fifty million. But now, look at them. These companies with deep pockets, not caring about the show, not knowing the planning, they dont care about anything else, just for the name Lu Xiaobu, theyre ready to throw in thirty million. Even then, theyre still competing for it. They could offer more! Those were their exact words. "Are you sending off a beggar? Go away, all the special sponsorships and title are my companys property." Lu Xiaobu said as he rolled his eyes. You think thirty million can get you the title sponsorship of Good Voice?! You must be dreaming! Young Master has already invested one hundred million! Although Young Master doesnt care about making money, even if by chance I made a loss, it would be on my own turf! Of course, theres absolutely no way I will lose money, that is! Chapter 372 - 371 Can’t Even Invite for the Spring Festival Gala? [2nd Update] Chapter 372: Chapter 371 Cant Even Invite for the Spring Festival Gala? [2nd Update]Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Zhang Fengs heart was twitching. million? Give it away to beggars? Young Master, does your family still need beggars? He helplessly said goodbye to Lu Xiaobu. They did something unnecessary again. This program deserves it. Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then called Liang Lan: "Sister Lan, please handle the advertising part again, just my Weibo alone is not enough." "Alright, Young Master, its already in progress." Liang Lan responded. Since the Young Master has personally intervened this time, it means he wants the very best of everything. Equipment? The top configuration! Stage? The best design! Promotion? The most expensive time slots! Contestants? The best treatment and accommodations! These are all things she should be doing; waiting for the Young Masters arrangements meant she could really be laid off. "Young Master, do you have any thoughts on the mentors?" Liang Lan asked. In this program, mentors are obviously very important. Without heavyweights, it wont work! "True, mentors, thats an important matter." Lu Xiaobu frowned and said. He did know quite a few celebrities, but most were from the film and TV industry; he really didnt know many pure singers. If he were to bring in some film and TV stars just to fill the slots, he wouldnt be too happy. After all, that would make it less pure! This put him in a bit of a predicament. "Young Master, should we ask Principal Li for some advice?" Liang Lan offered a suggestion, something she had thought of in advance. "Brilliant, Ill give Principal Li a call." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Talking to Liang Lan was always comforting; anything you wanted to do, shed have already thought it through in advance. And she was always to the point, never overdoing it. Since he had decided to seek out Principal Li, he didnt make a phone call but flew directly to Emperor Electric. After all, it was class time, and he was nominally a student at Emperor Electric. Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Skipping class was one thing, but calling the Principal to come out during this time was somewhat unreasonable. Arriving at Emperor Electric, he walked straight into the school and headed for the Principals office. "Oh, Xiaobu, what brings you here?" Principal Li looked surprised. Nowadays, Lu Xiaobu hardly attended classes, and usually, it was he who visited Lu Xiaobu. Now that Lu Xiaobu suddenly came to visit him, he felt quite flattered. "Principal, youve heard about Heavenly Dynastys Good Voice which I am organizing?" Lu Xiaobu cut to the chase. "Ive heard something about it, did you come to see me about the mentor issue?" Principal Li, true to his role as the head of the institution, immediately understood. "Yes, I need four pure singers, pure musicians." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Do you have any recommendations?" "Pure musicians?" Principal Li frowned, stood up, and poured a cup of tea for Lu Xiaobu. The word pure is not as simple as it sounds. After pondering for a while, Principal Li slowly said, "I have some candidates in mind, but I cant guarantee anything; youll have to figure out a way yourself." "Alright, no problem." Lu Xiaobu was not only patient upon hearing Principal Lis words but was also filled with surprise. Being able to render the widely respected Principal Li speechless indicated a truly genuine character. "First and foremost, there is Grandma Jia Yi. You may not have heard much about her at your age, but in our generation, she is one of the most respected musicians." "People have sung for a lifetime, and when it comes to basic skills, Jia Yi surpasses even those Heavenly Kings and Queens by a mile C her use of the voice, modulation of tones, and understanding of music are all backed by vast experience." "However, the troubling part is that Grandma Jia Yi is old now and rarely appears on shows, even turning down this years Spring Festival Gala invitation. It might be difficult for you to persuade her." Principal Li introduced the first person. Seeing the hint of admiration in his eyes, Lu Xiaobu was certain that Grandma Jia Yi was someone of great significance! In that case, without further hesitation, the first thing to do was to visit Grandma Jia Yi. No sooner said than done. Lu Xiaobu acquired the address of Grandma Jia Yis residence and promptly made his way there. To show respect, Lu Xiaobu asked Zhang Meng and the others to wait outside; after all, it was disrespectful to bring bodyguards along when asking for a favor at someones home. "Ding-dong." Lu Xiaobu pressed the doorbell. "Who is it?" A kind voice came through, and the door opened. An elderly lady with a benevolent appearance opened the door and looked at Lu Xiaobu: "Who might you be?" "Are you Grandma Jia Yi? My name is Lu Xiaobu," Lu Xiaobu introduced himself. "Lu Xiaobu?" Grandma Jia Yi thought for a moment: "Sorry, I dont seem to recognize you, but come in anyway, its not proper to talk at the door." Although she didnt recognize Lu Xiaobu, she could tell he was no ordinary person. "Of course, thank you, Grandma." Lu Xiaobu was unfazed. It was normal for her not to recognize him. He wasnt from the music industry. Why should she know him? After entering, the two exchanged pleasantries, and upon knowing Lu Xiaobus identity, they formally started discussing the matter. "Well, Xiaobu, Im sorry. Although I appreciate your invitation, Im really too old and no longer wish to participate in talent shows. My family also wouldnt allow it." Grandma Jia Yi expressed her regret. "Grandma Jia Yi, you dont trust me, do you? You dont believe that Heavenly Dynastys The Voice is a show that purely depends on voice." Lu Xiaobu laughed. What she meant by not really wanting to join the show indicated that she was still somewhat interested. The problem was with the concept of the talent show itself. "Oh? A clever young man. Can you give me a reason to believe you wont predetermine the winner, wont judge based on appearance, and wont fake things? Convince me and Ill agree." Grandma Jia Yi smiled. Though she was already in her seventies. Her smile was still pristine. Just from this, Lu Xiaobu could assert that Grandma Jia Yi must have been a great beauty in her youth. "Have you heard of the LOL game? Thats my enterprise. This game still doesnt have Japanese or Korean translations, only Chinese and English. I also designed the anti-addiction system. Juechen live-stream is my project too, and its the strictest on the entire web!" Lu Xiaobu smiled, "Do these aspects suffice?" "Oh?" Grandma Jia Yi fell into thought. Though she was old, she wasnt muddled. She understood what Lu Xiaobu meant. Lu Xiaobu was someone who dared to defy the norms. Others may not dare, but he did! And what he did was always correct, even stubbornly so. This meant that he was someone who would never engage in unethical actions for money or fame. In that case, maybe the show could indeed be a pure music show. Lu Xiaobu sat sipping tea on the side, confident that Grandma Jia Yi would give him a satisfying answer. Spring Festival Gala couldnt persuade her? That didnt mean Lu Xiaobu couldnt! Chapter 373 - 372: Queen of Heaven? I’m interested! [3rd Update, for A Xiang Grammy Li Dongwan] Chapter 373: Chapter 372: Queen of Heaven? Im interested! [3rd Update, for A Xiang Grammy Li Dongwan]After some thought. It was as Lu Xiaobu expected. "Okay! I believe you, I can participate!" Grandma Jia Yi gave a definitive answer. "Well then, Grandma Jia Yi, regarding your joining fee, Im not sure about the market price, do you think ten million is enough? If not, we can increase it." sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu was straightforward. Only rascals talk about ideals without mentioning salary. Its the same with contracts, when its time to talk about money, it must be discussed. "No need, no need, thats too much, a few million will do." Grandma Jia Yi quickly waved her hand: "Im not just being polite, it really is too much." "Okay, then ten million it is!" Lu Xiaobu made the decision. The first mentor was settled. ... "Xiaobu, youre impressive! You even managed to invite Jia Yi?!" Principal Li expressed immense surprise: "If the producers of the Spring Festival Gala heard this, they would be green with envy." "No big deal." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "Whos the second one?" Principal Li nodded and said. "The second one, no, actually the second and third, Chen Wen and Fang Li, they are a married couple, a model couple in the entertainment industry, and both are purely musicians." "Maybe in the celebrity ranks, they are only second-tier, but in the music industry, they are top-notch, just below the Heavenly King level singers, and they have always been stable, focusing only on music!" "I recommend them because they are also purely musicians, not particularly outstanding in appearance, they have toughed it out step by step." "These two, I cant really speak for them, its up to you how to handle it." Principal Li truly worried about Lu Xiaobus program, but at the same time, he was throwing one tough challenge after another. "Okay, wait for my good news." Lu Xiaobu set off again. ... After getting off the plane, taking a car, and reaching the villa. He rang the doorbell. This time, he had called ahead. But he was explicitly rejected, so Lu Xiaobu had to visit in person. "Young Master Lu, you really came." The door was opened by Chen Wen, a man not particularly handsome, with some acne scars on his face, but very hearty. This must be what Principal Li mentioned, the reason why Chen Wen didnt have it easy initially! "Hello, sorry for disturbing." Lu Xiaobu smiled. "Come on in, Young Master Lu. Old Chen, really now," Fang Li scolded with a laugh from behind. Fang Li was different from Chen Wen, she was a true beauty, the epitome of a star look, a singer with great appearance, temperament, and voice! "Look at this, blame me." Chen Wen cheerfully invited Lu Xiaobu inside. It was apparent, the couple had a really good relationship. Unlike Jia Yi, Chen Wen and Fang Li recognized the name of Lu Xiaobu. "Why did you two refuse me?" After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Xiaobu cut straight to the chase. "This..." The couple looked at each other, remained silent. "Joining fee?" "Young Master Lu is joking, youre inviting us, we wouldnt worry about the joining fee, that would be ungrateful." "Scheduling?" "Thats not it either, our schedule is flexible, we can make time." "Do you think I cant do it well? Dont see good prospects for the program?" "No, no, no! Absolutely not!" Both hurriedly shook their heads; such words they dared not say. Since Lu Xiaobu had brought the conversation to this point, if the couple didnt speak up, it would really become a problem. Chen Wen looked at Fang Li, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "To tell the truth, its a bit embarrassing, actually, we want to have a child. Its just that my viability is a bit low, so we want to focus on..." He found it hard to continue. To be honest, if it werent for facing Lu Xiaobu, he would never have mentioned this matter. Whenever this matter gets out, hes finished. "I understand." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "What if I could help?" "What!" The couples eyes lit up instantly. This had troubled them for a long time, they had even secretly gone for medical checks, but the hospitals also said they were helpless and it all depended on luck. That was actually the reason the couple had been quietly cultivating their minds. Now Lu Xiaobu actually said he could help! "System, you heard that, send me some medicine." Lu Xiaobu spoke to the system. "Alright." The system didnt waste words, now that Lu Xiaobu was helping it get better sound, it had to show some gratitude. So, very quickly. Lu Xiaobu had an extra bottle of medicine in his hand. "Take this, and the problem will be solved." Lu Xiaobu handed the medicine to Chen Wen, then got up and left: "Ill wait for your good news." Lu Xiaobu left, and the couple looked at the medicine in their hands, deep in thought. "Can this really work?" Fang Li said hesitantly. This was no trivial matter, if something went wrong, it could be a big trouble. "Lu Xiaobu wouldnt lie, theres no reason for him to fool us." Chen Wen hesitated and then said: "Why not give it a try." "Then lets try it, today I also have time," Fang Li wasnt shy, after all, they were an old married couple. "Alright." Chen Wen downed the medicine in his hand and then carried Fang Li towards the bedroom. And then... You can guess what happened. ... Lu Xiaobu left Chen Wen and Fang Lis villa. He trusted what the system had given him. So, actually, everything here was already settled, the selection for the mentor had been finalized with three choices. Now only the last one remained. Principal Li looked at Lu Xiaobu in front of him: "Why did you come back so soon? Were you rejected?" "No." Lu Xiaobu shook his head. "So they agreed?" Principal Li gasped, Jia Yi being settled was one thing, but this couple too? Lu Xiaobu, youre really amazing! "Neither, well know in a couple of days." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, not going into detail. After all, it was their privacy, certain things had to be kept confidential. "Lets talk about the last one now." Lu Xiaobu continued. "Um... okay." Although Principal Li was puzzled, he still proceeded according to Lu Xiaobus words: "Ive thought about it, the front three, though prestigious, still lack a heavyweight figure to anchor! Currently, Ive settled on a King Level person." "Who?" Lu Xiaobu asked. Principal Li had really thought this through, without a Heavenly King level person, it wouldnt be perfect. "Queen of HeavenSun Wanqi!" Principal Li said this name with utmost seriousness, a mark of respect for Heavenly King and Queen level stature: "Perfect looks, perfect figure, perfect voice, and also owning the largest fan base in the country! If you can get her to join, your show cannot be anything but a hit." "But likewise, inviting her is harder than the previous three combined!" "To put it bluntly, I dont think you can succeed." Principal Li sighed. "Alright, Ill handle it!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand grandly, just Queen of Heaven? Since I set my sights on her, lets get her here! Chapter 374 - 373: It’s That Simple [4th Update for the Scavenger Little One’s 10k Reward Bonus] Chapter 374: Chapter 373: Its That Simple [4th Update for the Scavenger Little Ones 10k Reward Bonus]As Principal Li said, inviting a celebrity of the Queen of Heavens status is truly not easy. Even for Lu Xiaobu, just finding the phone contact took a lot of time. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Such characters at the top of an industry naturally have their own status and dignity. Of course, Lu Xiaobu had some clout. Otherwise, he wouldnt have gotten the phone number. Lu Xiaobu made the call from Principal Lis office. "Hello, Mr. Lu." A voice that sent shivers down the spine, yet not at all enchanting but surprisingly distinctive, came through. It made Lu Xiaobu secretly click his tongue. To become the Queen of Heaven was indeed no simple feat. Not to mention him, even Principal Li, a highly respected principal, was somewhat excited upon hearing this voice. "Hello, Queen Sun." Lu Xiaobu responded. "Mr. Lu is joking." Sun Wanqi chuckled lightly, but she didnt deny it. She truly was the Queen of Heaven and deserved the title: "May I know what Mr. Lu needs me for?" "Join my Heavenly Dynastys Voice; name your conditions." Lu Xiaobu was as straightforward as always. "About this, Im afraid I have to apologize. I would love to collaborate with Mr. Lu, but I really dont have the time," Sun Wanqi clearly expressed her refusal. Principal Li spread his hands beside himhe knew this would be the outcome. "How about I write songs for you?" Lu Xiaobu thought it over. For someone of her level, money and such were basic but not enough to sway the heart. So, he played his trump card. "Oh?" Sun Wanqis interest was piqued: "Its my first time hearing that Mr. Lu writes songs." Interested she might be, but believing she did not. "Lets not beat around the bush, give me an email address, and I will send the songs to your email for you to check," Lu Xiaobu continued. To ensure success, he had spent some time researching Sun Wanqis musical style, then had the system on Original Earth find two songs, which he wrote. This was the reason for his confidence. "Hmm..." Sun Wanqi pondered: "Okay, agreed." Soon, the email address was sent over. Lu Xiaobu nodded at Su Luoxue. Su Luoxue understood and sent the email that Lu Xiaobu had prepared earlier. She didnt know what it contained. "Ding dong." A notification of the emails arrival sounded from the other end of the phone. Then, silence filled the space. Principal Li was restless beside him. He wondered if he was overthinking it, allowing Lu Xiaobu to invite a nearly impossible to secure celebrity like the Queen of Heavenif this failed, he would be the culprit. Su Luoxue, listening to the silence, also felt worried. She didnt think a single email could finalize a deal with the Queen of Heaven. Only Lu Xiaobu was utterly calm and extremely confident. A minute passed. The other end of the phone was still silent. But, there were some sounds of walking and occasionally some faint singing. Hearing this singing, Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a smilethis was a sure thing. Because the singing was from the songs he sent. But Principal Li and Su Luoxue became even more worried. The two exchanged glanceshad the Queen of Heaven gone off to handle other matters? Probably not. Three more minutes passed. "Alright, I agree to it. These two songs, plus a joining fee of forty million." Sun Wanqi laid out her conditions. "Thats fine." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Pleasure doing business with you." "Pleasure doing business with you." Sun Wanqis voice lifted slightly, revealing some excitement. Clearly, the two songs from Lu Xiaobu had thoroughly conquered her! After hanging up, Principal Li was dumbfounded. "Just like that!?" Principal Li was somewhat frantic. The person across was the Queen of Heaven, and a single email sealed the deal? Was it really just two songs? Does the Queen of Heaven lack songs? Definitely not! But now the Queen of Heaven agreed to such a questionable program just for two songs. What kind of songs were these!? As for the forty million, that was a trivial matter. The Queen of Heavens appearance was worth the price. Other programs couldnt invite the Queen of Heaven even with forty million! "Just like that." Lu Xiaobu tossed his phone to Su Luoxue, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What else did you expect?!" "I didnt expect anything, I just meant to say, if I had known it was this simple, I would have recommended all the Heavenly Kings and Queens to you." Principal Li muttered to himself. Xiaobu, oh Xiaobu, talk about keeping it cool, acting all nonchalant! Hes talking to the Queen of Heaven! For the previous three, he personally visited, but for the Queen of Heaven, just a phone call and an email did the job?! He must be thinking, "What else do you want?" Thats really demoralizing. "No, that would make it boring, who would listen to the singers then? Everyone would be watching the Heavenly Kings and Queens." Lu Xiaobu waved it off: "By the way, Principal Li, youve helped me so much, tell me, what do you want?!" Theres no such thing as love or hatred without reason. Principal Li had looked out for him so diligently, there certainly was something he needed help with. "Teach a class." Principal Li was straightforward. "Okay, okay, Ill teach, is that alright?" Lu Xiaobu sighed, he knew it. Principal Li was still hung up on the situation from the other day when the three principals visited his house. That was about elaborating on Youthful Heavenly Dynasty! "Alright!" Principal Li laughed heartily. Finally, he managed to accomplish it. Now, those two old guys from Empire University and Qinghua must treat him to a meal. Otherwise, humph, itll just be for our school! "When is it?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "No rush, handle your matters first, we need to prepare on our side too," Principal Li hurriedly said. Getting Lu Xiaobus agreement wasnt easy, they couldnt rush him. "Thats fine." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Actually, I dont have much on my plate in the next couple of days, Ill just give a couple of lectures." Liang Lan was handling the bulk of tasks, he just had to wait. ... Meanwhile, under Liang Lans arrangements, news and various other preparations had begun. With the support of those unscrupulous journalists, generating buzz was easy. Voice of Heavenly Dynastys naming rights reach one hundred million, special fees vary The programs production cost is a whopping three billion, quality guaranteed All-star lineup, stay tuned Lu Xiaobu aims to revolutionize the entire talent show ... These news stories spread like wildfire, forcing everyone to pay attention to this program. After all, the headlines were quite shocking. A billion here, three billion there. Which current talent show was as lavish as this? But the words of Lu Xiaobu were undeniable. After all, everyone was well aware of Lu Xiaobus previous lavish spending when sixty billion was splashed out during the Iron Cavalrys carpet sales. Now spending three billion on producing a talent show? Thats perfectly normal! However, soon, another trend arose online. Chapter 375 - 374: A Luxurious Lineup Stuns the Entire Audience [5th Release for 11000 Reward Bonus] Chapter 375: Chapter 374: A Luxurious Lineup Stuns the Entire Audience [5th Release for 11000 Reward Bonus]In the following days, the news online was unceasing. And while everyone was focused on the budget of several hundred million, an industry insider spoke out. "Dont get hung up on the money aspect, its unnecessary. Personally, I think what we really should be looking at is the mentors Lu Xiaobu has invited. After all, no matter how much money you have, if you cant invite good mentors, the program is a flop." This comment was well within the bounds of reason, hitting the nail on the head. "Right, who did Lu Xiaobu actually invite?" "Are you still worried about that? Lu Xiaobu is a director after all, it shouldnt be hard for him to invite a few celebrities, right?" "Thats not necessarily the case, the film and music industries arent the same, are they?" "Thats true, the pretense Lu Xiaobu is using this time is its all about the voice. If the mentors dont measure up, wouldnt Lu Xiaobu be slapping his own face?!" "To be honest, I think whatever we can come up with, Lu Xiaobu would have thought of it too. Theyre probably all singers." "That makes sense. It would be great if Sun Wanqi could come." "Heh, dream on, buddy." "I know its a dream, but I just like to think about it. I really love Sun Wanqi." "A top-tier Queen of Heaven isnt likely to appear on a talent show. If she really wanted to make money, think about how much shed earn from filming a movie? Shed gain fame and possibly awards. Why waste time on a TV program? Not just the Queen of Heaven or the Heavenly King, but even those top-tier singers, theyre unlikely to be invited." "Besides, Hot Voice has a not-so-great reputation, the professionals have given it poor reviews." "..." While the internet was abuzz with discussion, Lu Xiaobu was answering a call. "Hahaha, Young Master Bu! Young Master Bu! Its happened! Its happened!" Chen Wens voice was incredibly excited, obviously jumping around with joy. He kept referring to Xiaobu as Young Master Bu, showing just how grateful he was to Lu Xiaobu. On the other side of the line, Fang Lis coy voice could occasionally be heard, "Keep it down, what are you so excited about?!" "Its happened! Thats great! Congratulations, congratulations!" Lu Xiaobu was also laughing heartily, happy to help others! "This is all thanks to Young Master Bu!" Chen Wen was ecstatic, unable to contain his excitement. "Uh... this is your achievement." Lu Xiaobu was taken aback and hurriedly added. "No, no, no, this is definitely Young Master Bus doing, all thanks to Young Master Bu!" Chen Wen was laughing so hard his mouth wouldnt close. "This really isnt me being humble! Your wifes pregnant, and to say its my achievement, is that appropriate?!" Lu Xiaobu was speechless! What the heck was this? If others heard it, they might think something had happened. "Uh..." sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chen Wens laughter immediately froze as he heard Lu Xiaobu. It seemed... he had a point! That credit should not be given away lightly! Fang Li also chided with a laugh: "Look at you, Chen Wen, babbling nonsense!" "Cough cough cough, I got carried away," Chen Wen coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. "What about joining the program?" Lu Xiaobu continued to ask. "No problem, Young Master Bu, whatever you say goes for me, but my wife here..." Chen Wen seemed a bit awkward. But he couldnt bear to upset his wife. "What are you thinking? I just found out Im pregnant, and youre treating me as if Im incapacitated?" Fang Li immediately said, "Dont listen to him, Young Master Bu. Ill go, we both will! You can count on us, Young Master Bu!" "But, wife..." Chen Wen still hesitated. "Enough talk! That settles it." Fang Lis status in the family shot up the moment she became pregnant. They ended the phone call. With that, the star-studded lineup of mentors was complete! ... Two days later, Liang Lan made a call. She said the first round of auditions could begin. Lu Xiaobu notified the four mentors to gather at Shimen TV Station. For the auditions, it was best to have them at Shimen TV Station. After all, registration and everything was handled there. The program team also conducted a simple screening, removing all those who came purely to cause trouble. The time is almost upon us. Even Lu Xiaobu, who rarely exerts much effort, surprisingly arrived at the door to wait. Well, he actually wanted to get a closer look and see just how beautiful Sun Wanqi really was. The staff of the program were also waiting on the side. "Who do you guys think Young Master Bu has invited?" Zhang Feng asked with a burning curiosity. "Who knows, not a whisper of news has been leaked," Elder Wang also expressed his puzzlement. They were itching with curiosity, just like the netizens online, they wanted to see whether Xiaobu had invited people from the film and television industry to make up the numbers, or perhaps some lesser-known singers. Although as part of the program team they shouldnt think like this, its human nature, and they couldnt help themselves. But they wouldnt admit it. The time has come. The first guest has arrived. Its Grandma Jia Yi, accompanied by her two agents. "Grandma Jia Yi has come. Shes really punctual." Lu Xiaobu stepped forward to greet. "Ive always been punctual, lets sign the contract," Grandma Jia Yi said with a kind smile. Su Luoxue immediately handed over the contract. Upon seeing Jia Yi, Zhang Feng completely lost it, "Isnt Grandma Jia Yi retired? Isnt she done with variety shows? The Spring Festival Gala didnt manage to get her, but Young Master Bu actually did!?" "Thats true!" Elder Wang went mad too. This first one alone had shocked them silly! They hadnt expected that Lu Xiaobu, without any noise, was dropping bombs like this! They werent dumb, on the contrary, they were well aware that if their show had Grandma Jia Yi as part of it, the level, class, and professionalism of the program would rise by several tiers! Jia Yis participation isnt just about her pulling power and popularity, its more about her professional prowess! Keep in mind that this is someone who has sung in front of high officials! But their shock hadnt subsided yet. The second and third bombs arrived. A couple and their agent. Chen Wen and Fang Li! At this moment, Chen Wen was treating Fang Li with extreme tenderness, as if she were too precious to melt or break! A female editor exclaimed," Chen, Chen Wen!?" Another male editors eyes popped, "Fang Li?!" Chen Wen spotted Lu Xiaobu and warmly waved, "Young Master Bu, Im not late, am I?" "Not at all, youre right on time," Lu Xiaobu smiled and motioned Su Luoxue to hand over the contract. "Gulp!" Zhang Feng swallowed hard! Elder Wang incredulously grasped his own hand! Chen Wen has come? And Fang Li too? These two are a well-known couple in the entertainment industry! And when it comes to popularity, these two belong to the very top tier of singers! To put it simply, the combined weight of the current hottest "Hot Voice" coaches doesnt measure up to even one of this couple! Not to mention both of them coming together! Chen Wen and Fang Li could sweep any singing competitions coaching panel if they were part of it, always the top brother and sister of the coach lineup! But now, both of them have come! Theyre joining their "The Voice"?? And, and! Theyre actually calling Lu Xiaobu, Young Master Bu!? What kind of address is this!? The program team suddenly felt a bit dizzy. This wasnt just a matter of surprise, this was an unforeseeable, dream-like delight! Having one of them would be enough to sweep other programs, let alone having both! Jia Yi plus Chen Wen and Fang Li? This coaching lineup is too luxurious! Young Master Bus influence is not just significant, right? Its downright crazy! They still dont know, the craziest part is yet to come! Chapter 376 - 375: The True Infinite Loop [6th Update, for] Chapter 376: Chapter 375: The True Infinite Loop [6th Update, for]Outside the office area. Many from Shimen TV Station have gathered around to watch. "Whats this?" "Is that Jia Yi?" "Wow, why is Chen Wen here?" "Fang Li also showed up with her agent?" "Whats going on here!" "Could it be that The Voice crew brought them over?" "Ah!" "Dont scare me, I have a weak heart!" "Any of these three is a big star in the music industry who could shake the world just by stamping their feet! It would be a dream to have one show up, but three?" With so many stars arriving, and not just any stars, but major players in the music industry, everyone in the various departments and teams of Shimen TV Station was naturally curious and came over to gossip. Even though some guessed a bit, they were still not sure what exactly was happening. Actually, not just them, even Zhang Feng and Elder Wang from The Voice team couldnt believe what they were seeing! However, what shocked them even more was yet to come. They thought seeing these three together here was already astonishing. But the next moment, when they saw the woman who walked in from outside, both the people from Shimen TV Station and the The Voice team were dumbstruck! She was a woman, not a celebrity, yet she was known by many and many had heard of her great name, for no other reason than she was the Queen of Heavens agent! It was Ai Yanfei! Sun Wanqis agent! At that moment, the whole office area fell silent! Jia Yi blinked. Chen Wen and Fang Li were stunned. Zhang Feng and Elder Wang were also at a loss! "Uh... is this Sun Wanqi? Not very pretty, though." Only Lu Xiaobu muttered to himself while stroking his chin, "Not as pretty as my Sister Lan!" His voice was not loud, but in this silent moment, it reached everyones ears. "Pfft!" Everyone felt a pang in their chest, almost spewing out a mouthful of old blood. Ai Yanfeis face turned green. She was Sun Wanqis agent, capable of speaking on Sun Wanqis behalf when she wasnt around. So what did this mean now? She had come, but this person who invited her didnt even recognize her. And surely "not very pretty" was not something to say at this moment?! Doesnt that sting?! But since the job was personally accepted by Sun Wanqi, she couldnt complain, and she had also heard of Lu Xiaobus willful character. So she just said with a gloomy face, "The contract, Ill sign it!" At this moment, Su Luoxue was hastily giving Lu Xiaobu a crash course. Telling him who this person was. "Oh, shes an agent! Sorry, I didnt know." Lu Xiaobu nodded his head. Thats just the way he is, casual when speaking and unpretentious when apologizing. Hearing this, Ai Yanfei took a deep look at Lu Xiaobu. Although she was just an agent, she had followed Sun Wanqi everywhere and was very experienced. This was the first time shed seen someone of such worth casually say "sorry." She couldnt help but respect Lu Xiaobu a bit more in her heart. Her anger also subsided somewhat. "Xiao Ai, is Sun Wanqi coming?" Jia Yi asked. She had the seniority to speak. "Yeah, I was only away for a few minutes yesterday, and somehow, Sister Sun got swayed." Ai Yanfei sighed and said with resignation, "Even though Sister Sun is so busy shes barely holding together, somehow she agreed to this gig." "Xiaobu is very capable," Jia Yi said with a smile: "Arent all of us swayed by him?" After chatting for a bit, Ai Yanfei also shook hands and spoke with Chen Wen and his wife. They all knew each other and had dealt with one another more than once or twice. Chen Wen was surprised, "I really didnt expect Sister Sun to join?" Ai Yanfei helplessly replied, "Not just you, I didnt expect it either." Fang Li couldnt help but take a long look at Lu Xiaobu, who was bored because he didnt see Sun Wanqi herself. Zhang Feng and the rest were completely in awe of Lu Xiaobu! My God! Sun Wanqi is coming! Lu Xiaobu actually managed to invite the Queen of Heaven! A top-tier celebrity who never participates in talent shows, and almost never appears on TV as a guest, is now going to make an exception and join their program? Everyone knows that for a star at Sun Wanqis supreme level, its no longer a matter of money for her, she simply doesnt need it! Her pursuits are different now, her realm of aspiration is no longer within the country, her gaze might already be set upon the whole world. So, they had no idea how Lu Xiaobu did it! How he persuaded the Queen of Heaven! As everyone arrived, Lu Xiaobu announced their joining fees. Jia Yi: Ten million! Chen Wen: Ten million! Fang Li: Ten million! Sun Wanqi: Forty million! To be honest, The first three deserve that price. But Sun Wanqis price is just astronomical! For many other talent shows, the entire programs total investment might only be around thirty million, and thats already on the higher side. And now? Sun Wanqi alone accounts for forty million! More than the total investment of a whole program? This kind of sky-high appearance fee is unprecedented in the variety show domain! However, looking at Lu Xiaobu, who appeared utterly bored, everyone sighed. Why the hell are they worrying for nothing? Thats Lu Xiaobu, the prodigal Lu Xiaobu. To him, this kind of money is just peanuts. Didnt you see that just the venue costs fifty million, and the lighting another fifty million, and thats not even counting all the other expenses! A forty million appearance fee is nothing! Theyre just twiddling their thumbs, its utterly pointless! ... The signing ceremony is over. An hour later. The promotion for "The Voice" started in full swing! On the official website of "The Voice" created by Zicheng IT, The webpage that originally had empty slots for the four coaches, with a mysterious question mark and silhouette, Now, the coaches list has been unveiled one by one, each accompanied by a detailed introduction and followed by a photo! "Look quickly!" "Wow, theyve announced the list!" "Cant wait, whos the first one?" "Here I am, here I am!" "The Voice" is the talk of the town today, with all the entertainment headlines focusing on it, and any slight movement on the official website attracts countless viewers! The first name is revealedJia Yi! The crowd erupts into uproar! "Its Grandma Jia Yi!" "A legendary singer indeed!" "Heaven! Grandma Jia Yi came out of retirement?" The second name also comes outChen Wen! Immediately, Chen Wens fans swarm in! "My male god, oh!" "Old Chen is going too?" "My heavens!" Then, the third nameFang Li! "Wowza!" "Old Chen, your wife is coming too!" "Heaven! All big names!" "True, how much money must The Voice production team have spent?" "Im blinded!" "Old Chen and Old Fang are both coming? Is this lineup trying to defy the heavens? Is Lu Xiaobu trying to scare people to death? Whos the fourth one? Whos the last coach?" "Hurry up with the fourth coach!" "Why so slow, who is it in the end?" "Whos the headliner?" As names are revealed one by one, viewers appetites are whetted to the max in no time, marveling endlessly at Lu Xiaobus bold movesso astonishing! Then! Everyones computer screen freezes! An endless loading circle! Refreshing the page is useless! The viewers are so frustrated they could smash their computers! Damn it, why the hell does it freeze at a time like this. Theyre definitely doing this on purpose, stringing people along! This is even more frustrating than a loop in a video! Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Son of a bitch! Pants down and it goes into an endless loop!? Moreover, they dont believe a website made by the leading Zicheng IT could ever lag! Definitely someones playing a prank! Right, they guessed correctlyat this very moment, Lu Xiaobu, who has nothing better to do, is sitting there sniggering amidst the exasperated expressions of Zicheng IT employees! Hahaha, if I cant see Sun Wanqi, then neither can you! Hahahahaha! Chapter 377 - 376 Unsuccessful Theft [First Update] Chapter 377: Chapter 376 Unsuccessful Theft [First Update]The internet was filled with cursing. So f**king unscrupulous! Youve got us all excited, and now you hit us with an infinite buffer?! There are only four people in total, even an idiot can tell theyre going to be bigger names one after another. Now that Chen Wen and Fang Li have already shown up, its the last one, and now you start buffering, what the hell are you buffering for? Its just one picture! Could Lu Group really not manage to load it?! "Moving, its moving!" Suddenly someone noticed that the spinning circle started to move. 1%...2%...3%...4%... It moved really slowly, but everyone was staring at it without blinking. As long as its moving! Although its slow, its better than not moving at all! Everyone was fixated on the circle, watching it endlessly spin, spin, and spin! Finally! 99%! Everyone got excited, its coming out, its finally going to be revealed. And then! It displayed, "Loading failed!" "Pfft!" You cant even imagine how many people nearly spat blood and dropped dead at that moment! Your moms a b*tch! Youre doing this on purpose, arent you?! Those who were spitting blood and nearly dying used their last breath to get up from the ground and started raging! "Lu Xiaobu, get out here!" "What do you mean by this?!" "Are you doing this on purpose?!" "F**k your grandpa! If youre not going to move, then dont, but why the hell spin once and then hit me with a loading failed?!" "If you have the guts, just hold it in forever!" "..." Looking at the comments online! Lu Xiaobu laughed loudly: "Hehehe!" Everyone at Sincere IT was going insane. Young Master Bu, this isnt how you play, do you want to kill people?! Chen Wen and Fang Li twitched the corners of their mouths, when have they ever seen someone like this?! This is your own show, are you sure this is the right way to play? Grandma Jia Yi also broke down: "This Xiaobu, he really is..." Lu Xiaobu didnt care about them, since he hasnt seen the person in real life, you guys shouldnt hope to see the picture either. At this moment online, someone had already started spilling the beans. "Dont wait anymore, Ill tell you, the fourth one is Sun Wanqi, Queen Sun." "Wow! Is it that shocking?" "Awesome, awesome! This line-up of coaches is luxurious!" "But why, why isnt the picture released yet?!" "I guess Lu Xiaobu doesnt want us to see it!" "Damn, that wont do. Ive gotten into a spat with him today, this picture better be released or Ill hold a grudge for a lifetime!" "Right, Im in on this too!" "Waiting!" "..." Yes, those who keep paying attention to Lu Xiaobu are his fans. What Xiaobus nature is like, theyre not much different! After that, this bunch of people acted as if theyd gone crazy, no matter the time, theyd keep their computers on, staring at that webpage, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to post the picture! Gradually, more and more people joined the ranks of those waiting for Lu Xiaobu to release the photo. In the end, someone even started taking bets, wagering on when Lu Xiaobu would release the photo! The person who leaked the information probably didnt expect that even though everyone already knew who it was, these folks still had nothing better to do than to keep waiting for the photo to load! Actually, its easy to understand, people are like that, the more unattainable it is, the more they want it. The wife is not as cherished as the concubine, the concubine not as much as a secret lover, and the secret lover not as tempting as the unachievable. That feeling of never getting what you want is like a cat constantly scratching inside their hearts! Not just him, even Sun Wanqi was bewildered. Her Weibo was inexplicably overrun. "We want photos, we want photos!" "Thats right, we want to see photos!" "Go talk to Lu Xiaobu, tell them to stop freaking torturing us!" "..." Sun Wanqi looked dumbfounded at Ai Yanfei: "Xia Ai, what photos do they want? Arent there pictures on my Weibo already?" "They are talking about this." Ai Yanfei, looking distressed, opened the official website of "The Voice". Well, Sun Wanqi, who is a bit obsessive-compulsive, saw that 99%, then the loading failed, and nearly lost it enough to smash the table. Damn, this is so frustrating! ... While this commotion was happening, the TV stations auditions were also getting underway. The auditions were quite smooth. After all, Lu Xiaobu may clown around, but he keeps his word, as everyone knows. Since Lu Xiaobu said hed only listen to voices, many people courageously, but apprehensively, came over to give it a shot! Of course, there were skeptics, but lets not talk about them. Inside the audition room, besides Lu Xiaobu, there were several music directors. These were all there to assist Lu Xiaobu in selecting contestants. They had also selected people for many talent shows, possessing a wealth of experience. Especially one surnamed Wang, who was the current hottest music director from the original "Hot Voice" auditions. Hence, the other directors addressed him as Teacher Wang! "Let me tell you something first, do you know what kind of people I want to choose?" Lu Xiaobu sat on a chair and asked the music directors. "Talented ones?" "With good vocal technique?" "Professionally trained?" "Having the look of a champion?" Several directors responded based on their past experiences. "No, Im looking for someone with a distinctive voice." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "The contestants I need are not just great ones, but those one in a million with such a unique voice that, when they sing, no one else can replicate it! Got it?" "Distinctive voice?!" Teacher Wang frowned suddenly: "Its my first time hearing about using this as a criterion for selection. Whats the use of distinctiveness? I dont understand, in the end, it should still be about vocal technique and stage experience!" "If I wanted to hear good singing, why the hell would I bother with The Voice? I could use the money to hire people for concerts, cant I? Heavenly Kings and Queens of Heaven would sing better than others, right!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You! This!" Teacher Wang frowned, feeling somewhat irritated, but he still suppressed his anger: "Alright then, lets give it a try." Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said to Zhang Feng: "Go on, arrange it." ... At the same time. In the contestants rest area. Everyone was chattering away. All sorts of people were here. There were the nervous ones running to the bathroom again and again, those sitting in a corner practicing their songs, and "veterans" who had previous contest experience sharing tips with newcomers. Of course, there were also some who stood out from the crowd, clearly distancing themselves from the other contestants. The most obvious one, Zhou Guogang, came from a professional background and had participated in other talent shows. He was invited by music director Teacher Wang. Hence, he had great confidence, nonchalantly playing with his phone. He thought that passing the auditions was a sure thing. After all, Lu Xiaobu was not professional, and for auditions, what Teacher Wang said was what counted, and Teacher Wang would definitely let him pass. Suddenly, Zhang Feng from the program team came in, "Everyone, get ready, its about to start." All eyes turned to him. Zhang Feng holding the list said: "Ill call out names shortly, one by one. After you enter, its all going to be a cappella. Everyone can prepare their own pieces, and if Young Master Bu and the judges feel the need, they may ask contestants to sing specific songs or have specific additional trials." It must all be a cappella, which is the real test of ones foundational skills. Well, the auditions officially began. What surprises will Lu Xiaobu come up with? Chapter 378 - 377 - : Sunflower Seeds Screening Method【Second Update】 Chapter 378: 377 Chapter: Sunflower Seeds Screening MethodSecond UpdateLu Xiaobu was cracking sunflower seeds and said to Zhang Feng, "Lets get started." Seeing Lu Xiaobu cracking seeds, the music directors all showed faces of annoyance. Cracking seeds, really?! Are you sure you can clearly hear the singing later?! Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Zhang Feng began calling out, "Number one, Li Li." Shortly after, a very fair-skinned girl entered from outside. As the door closed, she stood in front of the center microphone with a pretended calm and smiled, "Hello judges, I am Li Li, a college student. I have loved singing since I was young, and have won first prize in the 13th district singing competition and city..." "Just sing," Elder Wang interjected. He saw Young Master Bus eyebrows furrowing. Li Lili nodded, "Alright, the song I have prepared is"Blue Blue"." Enough said, it was off-pitch! It took three sentences to find the right pitch. "Although the singing wasnt bad, it didnt meet our standard, sorry, you can go back," Teacher Wang told the contestant. People who go off-pitch right when they start singing, no way that could work. Lu Xiaobu agreed, though he hadnt heard this song before, he could tell it was off-pitch. Everyone knows that when listening to songs, you dont necessarily have to be familiar with the song to detect off-pitch singing. Li Li bowed regretfully, "Thank you, judges." She walked away. "Next one," Teacher Wang continued the arrangement. The second one. The fifth one. The tenth one. In the blink of an eye, ten contestants had sung, but apart from one person who was somewhat decent, the rest were somewhat disappointing. A clean sweep really tests the skill of the contestants as any flaw can be heard clearly. "Next, Zhou Guogang." Zhang Feng reported. Hearing this name, the music directors immediately smiled and all looked towards Teacher Wang. They knew this person was brought by Teacher Wang. A seeded contestant. Lu Xiaobu saw this but didnt comment. If he sings well, the method of registration doesnt matter. Zhou Guogang appeared composed. The music directors concentrated, no longer looking indifferent. The expectations for him were very high, as such a good talent could contend for the championship in other audition programs. At worst, hed be in the top five. Now it was up to his on-the-spot performance. Zhou Guogang began to sing. What exactly he sang, I wont elaborate; you havent heard it anyway, neither has Lu Xiaobu. The song ended. Zhou Guogang looked confidently at the directors, especially at Teacher Wang he was certain he had passed! The directors all showed pleased expressions. "One of them said, "Although the high notes drifted a bit and the vibrato wasnt steady, overall it was very good. I agree he should pass the preliminary." Another said, "I agree too." Teacher Wang just smiled silently, not giving his opinion, but there was a hint of smugness. Even Elder Wang nodded, indeed it was well sung. Zhou Guogang also smiled, "Thank you, all judges." At that moment. "Alright, you can go back! Youre not what Im looking for." Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively, still cracking seeds. Zhou Guogang was stunned. Elder Wang was shocked! All the directors were shocked! Especially Teacher Wang, who furrowed his brows! "Could you explain?" Teacher Wangs expression turned ugly. This contestant was brought by him. If he had sung poorly, it could have been overlooked. But now, he clearly sang well. What did Lu Xiaobu mean by this?! "Explain? Havent I said before? His voice lacks distinctiveness. If I want to listen to something pleasant, why wouldnt I just go to the Heavenly King and Queen of Heaven?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes as he explained. "This is absurd! How can you compare a contestant to the Heavenly King and Queen of Heaven?" Teacher Wang grew angry. From the moment Lu Xiaobu said those words, he was already irritated, and now that Lu Xiaobu really went ahead, how could he not be furious?! "Whether I am being absurd is not for you to decide. Do it or get out!" Lu Xiaobu has a terrible temper; should we indulge him? Teacher Wang was instantly furious. And the other music directors quickly held back Teacher Wang. Confronting Lu Xiaobu? Do you want to die first or just not looking to live?! Elder Wang reacted too, huffily sitting down and murmured, "At the least, you should let us know what the standards are!" "Standards? Simple!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, tossing each of them a bag of sunflower seeds: "Here, crack some seeds. If a voice makes you stop cracking seeds, thats the one I want!" "Seriously!" All the mentors went crazy. Cracking seeds?! What kind of audition method is this?! Who doesnt know how loud it is to crack seeds? And under such a distraction, a voice that makes them stop? Are you kidding me?! With your criteria, you wont pick anyone! All the mentors got a bit angry! They just want to see what kind of person Lu Xiaobu actually wants. The audition continues! Nope! Nope! Nope! Still no! Normally Lu Xiaobu is the most anxious, but this time, he was not anxious at all. Elder Wang listlessly says: "Next." Zhang Feng calls out from outside: "Ning Feiping." The person comes in. A man in his twenties, looking very ordinary, with really short hair, dressed in *very* plain clothes, his shoes still covered in dirt and even some oil, giving off a somewhat "country bumpkin" vibe. Looking at his profile, this guy should be someone who repairs bicycles. Nobody had any other thoughts; after all, Lu Xiaobu had said to listen to the voice only. A brief introduction was made. Amidst the sound of Lu Xiaobu cracking seeds, Ning Feiping began to sing. The song title "Everlasting and Unending," originally sung by a female singer. Using a male voice to sing a females song, they had seen this before. Most try to find a shortcut, but usually, the effect is much reduced. So, hearing the song title, the mentors already mentally stamped him as a no. They were just waiting for Ning Feiping to sing a couple of lines, then they would send him back. However! "Is there really, everlasting and unending in the world..." The moment his singing tone started, all the back-stage crew were flabbergasted! "Pfft!" Elder Wang, who was drinking water, spurted it out. All the mentors also stood up one after another, their faces in disbelief! Lu Xiaobu stopped cracking seeds too. Excitement appeared in his eyes. This is exactly what he wanted! Because, from this perfectly average man, what came out was actuallya female voice! More feminine than a feminine voice! A tender and beautiful voice that couldnt be softer! "What happened?!" Ning Feiping was startled. Whats going on? As he spoke, his voice returned to a males tone. "Its nothing, nothing! Keep going, continue!" The mentors gestured for Ning Feiping to continue. "Okay!" Ning Feiping took a deep breath and relaxed. Continued to sing. Still in a female voice. The song ended. Unanimous pass! "Alright, youve passed!" Lu Xiaobu made the decision directly. Elder Wang and the others had no objections, all expressing agreement. Ning Feiping excitedly thanks: "Thank you, thank you all mentors!" After Ning Feiping left, the mentors coughed and reached for the sunflower seeds on the table. Even Elder Wang was not an exception! Ah, finally, they understood what Lu Xiaobus standard was. Well, its a bit embarrassing, but they admit, although Lu Xiaobus audition method seemed silly, it apparently works quite well! Chapter 379 - 378: The Oddity Chosen by Eating Sunflower Seeds [Third Update] Chapter 379: Chapter 378: The Oddity Chosen by Eating Sunflower Seeds [Third Update]After all the mentors understood Lu Xiaobus idea. This audition filled with the sound of seed-cracking progressed at an unprecedented speed. "Crack crack crack!" This is the sound of cracking seeds. "No good, next." "Crack crack crack!" "No good, next." "Crack crack crack!" "No good, next." ... Seed shells filled the trash can, eaten by the bagful. In a normal talent show, at least a dozen contestants should have been selected by now. But here, only one. ... Continue cracking seeds. Gradually, the type of contestants everyone was looking for appeared. A 58-year-old retired man who had no singing skill but just shouted his way through rock music with explosive emotion. Pass! A fishmonger girl who screamed like a lunatic, with a voice so hoarse it hurt to listen. Pass! A train driver who knew nothing extraordinary, but whose high note shocked everyone. Pass! And then there was a gym teacher who was the complete opposite of Ning Feiping; indeed, a tomboy, but she belted out a mans explosive voice! Pass! ... Well, anyone who could make the mentors stop cracking seeds was no ordinary contestant. So much so that. When the first day of auditions ended. There were just these five freaks! Even the mentors sucked in a breath of cold air and felt their balls tighten when they looked back at the people they had chosen! What the hell are these?! Look at other singing talent shows broadcasted on other channels at the same time, including those aired in the past ten years, each and every contestant was a handsome guy or a beautiful girl, werent they? Which contestant wasnt full of youthful vigor? Handsome young men! Beautiful young women! They were everywhere! And them? Rugged beefcakes! Scrawny, ugly guys! The hoarse-voiced cute girl! Women who weigh 160 to 170 pounds! And an old man! Right, theres also the matter of their careers. What are the usual occupations for contestants on a regular talent show? Students from music academies, music workers with formal training, music teachers, piano teachers, guitar teachers, backup singers for artists, independent musicians who compose and write their own songs, and even newcomers who have signed with talent agencies! Either they have already debuted, or they are professionals from the music industry! Their qualifications are clear at a glance! Now look at the few people selected by "The Voice"! Bicycle repairers! Train drivers! Female gym teachers! Fishmonger girls! And freaking hell, a 58-year-old retired worker! If anyone saw them, would they think these people could sing?! Even the mentors, if they hadnt heard those heart-stirring voices with their own ears, they would never believe this bunch could sing! However, it was they who sang, and even stopped the mentors from cracking seeds with their voices! When these mentors left the audition scene, they were dumbfounded! What on earth had they done?! "That thing, you all know how to choose people now, right?" Lu Xiaobu stretched, looking at the few mentors. "We do." The group of mentors nodded in agreement. "Alright, starting from tomorrow, you guys can go pick talents all over the country! All expenses will be reimbursed." Lu Xiaobu nodded and said. "Yes!" The coaches also threw caution to the wind, deciding to go crazy just this once! After all, they were merely coaches; even if there was scolding to be had later, it wouldnt be them getting scolded! After Lu Xiaobu left, Liang Lan stopped the other coaches and continued: "We must continue to follow Young Master Bus standards, but we also need some regular singers, you get me?" She was filling in Lu Xiaobus thoughts. She often did this. The coaches nodded. They understood what Liang Lan meant; a talent show cant just have all oddballs! What else would there be to watch? Moreover, how could there be so many oddballs in the world?! ... "The Voice" formally started moving onto the right track. Venue, equipment, seating, voting devices, hosts, advertisements, etc., Liang Lan was handling it all, totally reliable! In terms of the preliminary selection, the coaches were also on it. There werent any major problems. Well, except they ate too many sunflower seeds and some of them got a little heaty! ... A few days passed. Everything was normal. Well, except for the endlessly buffering photos on the official website. Regarding this, Lu Xiaobu was quite indifferent. Sun Wanqi was so angry she nearly went mad! No helping it, she had obsessive-compulsive disorder. If someone left a message on her Weibo, she couldnt help but take a peek. Every time she saw 99%...and then "Failed to load," she felt like spitting blood. Finally, with no other way out, she contacted Lu Xiaobu under the pretext of wanting to rehearse the theme song, volunteering to do so. Youre not going to meet me, not posting my photos? Then Ill make you meet me! "Hello, Mr. Lu? This is Sun Wanqi." "Whats up? We havent started recording yet. No rush." "Its not that, I want to practice the theme song, is that okay?" "Sure, come on over." "Alright, see you this afternoon then. Ill also get in touch with Grandma Jia Yi and the others, so you dont have to." "Great, I love this carefree feeling." Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu hung up and called the shows team. "Hello, the coaches want to come and practice the theme song, get ready for that." "Huh!? What!? Practice the theme song?!" The person on the other end, Zhang Feng, was going nuts: "Practice the theme song?!" "Whats wrong? Any problem?" Lu Xiaobu inquired. "Young Master Bu, this isnt just a problem, its a huge problem!" Zhang Feng was on the verge of tears: "We havent even decided on our theme song yet!" "What? The theme song isnt decided? What have you been doing this whole time?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Weve been thinking about it! We havent settled on which one yet." Zhang Feng was pulling his hair out by the handfuls. Young Master Bu, we cant be as spontaneous as you! We need to carefully sculpt every single step! After all, if youre not satisfied, well still end up having to start over! "Alright then, wait for me, Ill come over and take a look." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily. "Dont! I..." Zhang Feng wanted to say something more, but the phone had been hung up. Zhang Feng was going crazy! Young Master Bu! The most urgent matter right now, isnt it to inform me when the four coaches will arrive? After all, even choosing a barely acceptable song at random is better than standing up the four coaches, including the Queen of Heaven! What are you coming over for now? Other than making the already pressing time even more pressured, its no use at all! Zhang Feng was frantically spinning in circles, but completely helpless. He really didnt know what Lu Xiaobu was up to. Are you hoping to use your clout to make the four coaches turn around and go back? That must be a joke! Even you cant just blatantly stand up the four coaches! Chapter 380 - 379 The Queen of Heaven Finally Arrives [4th Update] Chapter 380: Chapter 379 The Queen of Heaven Finally Arrives [4th Update]Lu Xiaobu leisurely arrived at the program group. Zhang Feng was freaking out. But, he still felt very fortunate. Fortunately, Young Master Bu arrived earlier than the four mentors. Theres still time, still time! "Young Master Bu, hurry and pick a song!" Zhang Feng hurriedly said, "Weve prepared ten songs, look, heres the song list!" Lu Xiaobu took the song list and glanced at it. Hmm, havent heard a single one. "Forget it, dont want any." Lu Xiaobu tossed the song list aside. Didnt recognize a single song, listening slowly, looking slowly, too troublesome! Better to whip up a simple one. "What?! What should we do now?" Zhang Fengs brain had crashed. "Ill go write a song, what kind of song would be suitable?" Lu Xiaobu said. "Huh?" Zhang Feng was still in a daze, but mechanically obeyed Lu Xiaobus order. Forget it, no one can sway Young Master Bus thoughts anyway, just let him do it. "This kind of talent show theme song, actually any type will do, but we have discussed it." "In the end, we decided its best to have a song that matches the theme, like expressing dreams or being motivational, that way it best fits the atmosphere of the audition." "Also, it should highlight the contestants and the stage, and the song should be positive, a bit more upbeat." "Its better not to have any profound reflections or inquiries about life, that would just complicate things and not stand out, thats about it. Zhang Feng and his colleagues, being some of the top people at Shimen TV Station, still had some skills. After hearing this, Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin. Dreams? Stage? Positive energy? Contestants? Talent show? There seems to be a song from his memory, used to sing it quite a lot. And at this moment, the system popped up and said: "How about it? Host, want me to help? Itll just cost a million!" "Go away, I recalled it, dont try to scam me." Lu Xiaobu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered it. He could handle it himself, why let the system help?! "Lets go, find me a composer." Lu Xiaobu said to Zhang Feng. "A composer? What are you up to?!" Zhang Feng was startled. "Writing a song! What else could it be? Really." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. Zhang Feng nearly spat out blood. You? Writing a song?! Are you kidding me? But again, he had no say over Lu Xiaobus thoughts, only to follow orders. Arrived at the studio. After hearing Zhang Fengs words, the composer almost spat out blood. Young Master Bu, what do you think writing a song is? Just open your mouth and it comes out? It requires a burst of inspiration, refining lyrics, refining the composition, and so on. Some people cant even write one song in several years. And now? Its like youre joking, saying to write a song and just writing it?! Isnt that just like saying getting pregnant as soon as you say it?! "Stop dawdling, Ill sing, Zhang Feng writes the lyrics, and you do the composition." Lu Xiaobu ordered. "Alright!" The composer and Zhang Feng both reluctantly accepted the order with a pained expression. Lu Xiaobu started singing with his hoarse voice. "Want to fly to the sky, shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun." "The world waits for me to change." "The dreams I have, never afraid of others seeing them." "Here I can make them come true." "Laugh out loud, lets stand shoulder-to-shoulder." "..." Hmm, the song he thought of was this "I Believe." Its no wonder it struck a chord, back on Earth, this was one of their class songs, they had to sing it every day before class, hard to forget! Finished singing. Zhang Feng roughly remembered the lyrics. The composer penned the tune on the score. Both of them were going mad! Lets not talk about how the song is for now, of course, any song performed with Lu Xiaobus tone-deaf voice isnt going to be very good. But, the song has indeed come out! What the heck?! Its been such a short time, and the song is already out?! Young Master Bu, are you going crazy?! If those singers saw this, arent you afraid youd scare them to death?! However, after Lu Xiaobu took a phone call, they both had no time to be shocked anymore. Because, the four judges are going to arrive in no more than half an hour. They didnt have time to be shocked anymore, they had to hurry and make corrections! Lu Xiaobu sang until he was tired, then let Zhang Feng, who had learned almost enough, take over. The arranger was quickly writing the sheet music. Once... And again... Twenty-something minutes passed, they sang several times, went through it several times, and finally got the sheet music right with the lyrics, and the song was successfully completed. "Done." Lu Xiaobu sat on the side, drinking tea, and said to the tired and panting arranger and Zhang Feng: "Reward, ten thousand each." "Thank you, Young Master Bu." The two were happy, finally there was some reward! Ten thousand bucks, worth the exhaustion! "That, Young Master Bu, can I ask a question?" the arranger couldnt help but say. "Ask." "Did you have this planned out beforehand, or..." The arranger hesitated to mention the second option. "Do I have that kind of time? If it werent for your indecisiveness, would I need to step in personally?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes as he spoke. "Pfft!" The arranger got a confirmation from Lu Xiaobu. A mouthful of old blood, three kilometers! Do you know? Although it took about half an hour in total. But actually. Young Master Bu created this song in less than a minute, even less it seems, it was like it was written while he was singing. The arranger swore, hes been in the industry for many years, knew countless lyricists and singer-songwriters, no one was this fast! And he believes, he definitely wont encounter such speed in the future! Not to mention encountering it, even if he told others, no one would believe it! But thats the truth, everyone would have to kneel! Of course. As for the quality of the song, the arranger didnt really listen. Firstly, he was too rushed writing the sheet music, his mind wasnt on the melody and lyrics. Secondly, the singing abilities of Lu Xiaobu and Zhang Feng... no more said, its ear-piercing! Thirdly, there were no accompaniments, no instruments, its really hard to tell with just acapella. There was a knock on the door, thud thud thud. "Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu asked. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Young Master, the four judges have arrived." Zhang Meng spoke from the doorway: "Theyre right at the door." "Oh, then let them in just in time," Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Yes!" Zhang Meng obeyed, opening the door of the recording studio: "Judges, please come in!" "Xiaobu, what are you doing in the recording studio?" Grandma Jia Yi was the first to walk in, looking at Lu Xiaobu with curiosity. Lu Xiaobu doesnt seem like someone who would do things personally. "Writing songs." Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said. "Dont joke." Grandma Jia Yi laughed: "You know how to write songs?" "Honestly, no one believes it." Lu Xiaobu gestured with open hands, noncommittal. "Young Master Bu, not just Grandma Jia Yi, we dont believe it either." Chen Wen and Fang Li walked in, laughing as they spoke. Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "Believe it or not." Ai Yanfei also walked in: "Lu Xiaobu, didnt you want to see Sister Sun? Shes here." "Oh? Really?" Lu Xiaobu suddenly became interested. Tsk tsk, the Queen of Heaven! Chapter 381 - 380 Writing Songs is So Tiring [Fifth Update] Chapter 381: Chapter 380 Writing Songs is So Tiring [Fifth Update]Lu Xiaobus eyes were glued to the door. A beauty walked in from the door. A true beauty, that aura alone was enough to qualify her as one. First shoot the horse, then inspect the legs! En, as a professional, Lu Xiaobu naturally started from the bottom up. Two straight, long legs, pure and flawless, round and smooth, perfect! Moving up, a figure that protruded in the front and curved in the back, not too big, but extremely well-proportioned, simply a natural clothes hanger, perfect! Finally, his gaze settled on her pretty face, the huge toad sunglasses couldnt hide her stunning beauty, perfect! A beauty of ninety-nine points! On the same level as Sister Lan! Except one had the aura of a celebrity, while the other had that of a powerful woman! Each with their own merits! Do you still remember what Lu Xiaobus gaze looked like when he saw a beauty?! Extremely aggressive! Back then, his and Wang Gous gazes had swept through the entire Emperor Electric University. So, even Sun Wanqi, who was often the center of attention, was somewhat overpowered by Lu Xiaobus gaze. Too domineering! She felt like she was looking at a Hunter marching towards his own prey! And she was the prey. Grandma Jia Yis mouth twitchedXiaobu, oh Xiaobu, although everyone loves beauty, your stare is too blatant! Arent you afraid Sun Wanqi will lose her temper?! Chen Wen and Fang Li were also speechless. This Young Master Bu indeed did whatever came to his mind. Looking at you in such a way that you couldnt get mad even if you wanted to. "Cough cough!" Sun Wanqi coughed, breaking the current state of affairs: "You must be Mr. Lu, nice to meet you, please take care of me." As she spoke, she reached out her fair hand. "Hello." Lu Xiaobu also reached out his hand and gently shook Sun Wanqis hand. En, silky, tender. The daughters of other families are truly different... cough cough! However, even though the sensation was great, Lu Xiaobu quickly let go without lingering. This move surprised Grandma Jia Yi and Mr. and Mrs. Chen Wen. So gentlemanly? The most surprised was Sun Wanqi herself. She had already prepared herself for some potential harassment. Especially since Lu Xiaobus prior gaze had been so unreserved! But this single action suddenly changed her impression of him. This Lu Xiaobu is not simple! However, now was clearly not the time to dwell on this. "Which song are we singing for the theme song?" As Queen of Heaven, Sun Wanqi naturally spoke for Chen Wen and the other two. "Lets sing this one." Lu Xiaobu handed them the piece of music he had just finished writing. "Let me see." Sun Wanqi took the sheet music. Chen Wen and Fang Li also looked on, humming along with the lyrics. "I want to fly... high in the sky... shoulder to shoulder... with the sun..." Because they were unfamiliar with the song and had never heard it before, they hummed intermittently, struggling to follow the score and lyrics coherently. The arranger was also tasting the song seriously for the first time; he had not paid much attention to it before. Fang Li, who had a background as a music teacher and had experience teaching students sheet music, was much more proficient and adapted faster than the others, becoming the first person to sing the song completely. "The dreams I want, Im not scared to let others see." "Here, I can make them come true." "Laughing loudly, shoulder to shoulder with you." "Nowhere can joy be unbounded." "Let go of worries and bravely take a big step forward." "Im standing right in the middle of the stage!" The other three coaches saw how smoothly Fang Li was singing and all held back their voices, listening quietly as she sang the song from beginning to end. The more they listened, the more their expressions changed! The first to be stunned was Elder Wang who had come along; he didnt understand music, nor did he grasp things like melodic changes or octaves. All he knew was that the song was really good to listen to, the kind that makes your heart skip a beat the first time you hear it. And those lyrics were so inspiring and touching. The dreams you want to achieve can be realized here? Isnt that exactly the message their show "The Voice" wants to send out? Arent they just trying to provide a platform for realizing dreams? It fits perfectly! Then, the arranger was flabbergasted. He too was stunned, originally thinking that Young Master Bu, Lu Xiaobu, who did whatever he wanted, was probably just messing around, writing for fun. After all, how good could a song written in one minute be? Being able to write it at all was already a miracle! But when the arranging teacher finished listening, he knew he was wrong, completely wrong! This song is amazing! How could this be a product of messing around?! Honestly, if the arranger hadnt seen Lu Xiaobu creating it on the spot with his own eyes, He would never believe what he was seeing now! S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Fast speed, high quality, great tune, and even aligning with the shows theme song in both sentiment and grandeur, he knew he had his eyes opened today! This capricious Young Master Bu actually has such true talent and knowledge?! No, not just talent and knowledge, but astonishing genius that has never been seen before! Zhang Feng was also dumbfounded. Was this the same song he had just sung? Why did it sound so terrible when he sang it, but gave him goosebumps when she did?! Fang Li finished singing. After listening to the song, Chen Wen gave Lu Xiaobu a thumbs up. Grandma Jia Yi also nodded her head repeatedly in approval: "Good song!" Fang Li was also very satisfied and said, "This song seems tailor-made for this show, both the lyrics and the melody are great. I wonder which teacher wrote it? I want to cover it!" Sun Wanqi also kept nodding her head: "Its obvious that a lot of effort was put into it. This song couldnt have been written in less than a year or two; its carved with precision." The arranger heard these words and twitched the corner of his mouth. Carved with precision? A year or two?! He silently looked up at the ceiling: "..." Ill keep quiet, you all continue! "But why is the ink on this score still not dry?" Sun Wanqi noticed something was amiss at this point and rubbed the end of the score, saying with confusion. "Eh?" Fang Li leaned in and took a look, "It really isnt." Jia Yi also reached out and touched it, then looked at Lu Xiaobu instantly, "Xiaobu, did you say you were writing a song here just now?!" "Yes." Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders. There was nothing to hide; he had written it, yes. "This song?!" Chen Wens pupils dilated: "Young Master Bu, dont play us." "Yes, this one. It was truly exhausting." Lu Xiaobu spread his hands out and said. "How long did it take?!" Fang Li asked again. "Over half an hour, I found out for the first time that writing songs is so tiring." Lu Xiaobu sighed. Honestly, if he had known, he would have had the system bring it out directly. What a hassle. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, everyone looked at the arranger. The arranger helplessly nodded: "Its true!" Then, everyone went crazy! Chapter 382 - 381: Absolute Control [First Update] Chapter 382: Chapter 381: Absolute Control [First Update]The music arrangement teacher affirmed his answer. All four celebrities were baffled. Is songwriting so easy nowadays? Of course, songwriting isnt exactly difficult if you have a profound skill base and sufficient inspiration; its possible to create a prototype in a short amount of time. But please, pay attention to the preconditions. That requires a profound skill base, does Lu Xiaobu have it? Remains doubtful! Sufficient inspiration is possible. But, is your freaking inspiration specifically tailored for this session of "The Voice"? In half an hour... oh, no, half an hour plus revisions to produce a perfect song! Are you out of your mind? "Wait a second!" Sun Wanqi suddenly remembered something, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, looking at Lu Xiaobu: "So, those two songs were also written by you?!" "Yep." Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders. "I!" Sun Wanqi was going crazy, she had always thought that such good songs must have been commissioned by Lu Xiaobu with money. Originally, she wanted to take this chance to try and get some details about that master from Lu Xiaobus mouth. Turns out, he wrote them himself! "What? Sun, Xiaobu wrote songs for you too?" Jia Yi asked in shock upon hearing this. "Yes, Grandma Jia Yi, those two songs he gave me made me agree to come here," Sun Wanqi said with mixed emotions: "Those two songs have been chosen as the lead singles for my next album!" Chen Wen and Fang Li twitched at the corners of their mouths. "Let me ask you another question, how much did those two songs cost?" Sun Wanqi stared into Lu Xiaobus eyes. "Those two were quicker, quicker than today." S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu nodded. Those two were finished products grabbed directly from the system by himself, much faster than writing them by hand. "Pff!" Sun Wanqi inexplicably felt pain in her liver. What? The two songs designated as her lead singles took even less time than todays song?! Meaning, Lu Xiaobu casually wrote two songs, and it made her, the Queen of Heaven, come running eagerly?! Why does it feel so uncomfortable?! Chen Wen and Fang Li were also dumbfounded. Even faster than todays song?! Young Master Bu, are you a song-making machine?! The arrangement teacher went crazy too. You say you have one such song, which is unprecedented, and unequaled. Now you tell us, actually, there are two even faster ones? And moreover, they became the lead singles for the Queen of Heaven!? Hold on, my brain isnt working well, I need to think of what adjective to use to praise your greatness, your awesome! At that moment, Fang Lis eyes lit up, she smiled and said: "Well, Young Master Bu, when you have time, write a song for me too." If a song written by Young Master Bu could be immediately chosen as Sun Wanqis lead single, it speaks volumes about its quality. Getting one would be a huge win! "Cant be bothered, no time." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily. His goal was to launch "The Voice," not to break into the music scene. Why bother writing so many songs when idle. "Oh!" Fang Li immediately looked aggrieved, grabbed Chen Wens hand, and twisted it hard. "Ouch!" Chen Wen gasped. But he didnt dare say a word, now that Fang Li was pregnant, she was no longer his wife, but his ancestor. Since the ancestor wants it, what else is there to say? Then, he immediately looked at Lu Xiaobu with a face full of eagerness: "Young Master Bu, really, just one song will do, no rush, and you set the terms, how about that?" While speaking, he looked pleadingly at Lu Xiaobu, subtly pointing at Fang Lis belly: "Please, please!" "Alright, alright, the little guy is also fated with me. Ill find some time," Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and agreed reluctantly. "Oh yeah!" Fang Li immediately beamed with joy. Seeing the ancestor happy, Chen Wen was also happy. They were happy. The arrangement teacher went crazy. Hey, you two are top-tier stars in the music industry. Do you think thats really appropriate? Can you have a little dignity!? Thats what he thought, but Mr. and Mrs. Chen didnt think so. The crystallization of their love and affections all came from the opportunity given by Young Master Bu, is it too much to bow in front of Young Master Bu now? Pretentious pride is whats really excessive! "Alright, you guys practice the song, Ill go out for a walk." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and walked outside. "Wait." Grandma Jia Yi suddenly stopped Lu Xiaobu. "Whats up? Grandma, you also want to book a song?!" Lu Xiaobu was stunned, this wont do, not that hes biased, but that would be too tiring for him. "What are you thinking? Im not even participating in the show, and you think Im booking a song." Grandma Jia Yi laughed, "We heard when we arrived that a batch of contestants had already advanced from the preliminary selection. They are secretly rehearsing and arranging in another shed here?" "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu looked confused, then turned to Zhang Feng. How would he know? It was all arranged by Sister Lan, he was just responsible for giving orders. "Ah! Yes!" Zhang Feng gave a confirmative answer. "Theyve been practicing since a few days ago. One reason is the issue of on-screen time. A song cant possibly last four or even five minutes, adjustment is necessary." "Moreover, everyone is a skilled singer and has high demands on themselves. Our program also has high demands on everyone, so the songs need to be rearranged. This workload is huge, its been going on for several days now, each person has to go through it." This Young Master Bu, totally hands-off as a shopkeeper. But no one can blame him, just look at Young Master Bus subordinates, everything is organized perfectly. Especially that Liang Lan, acting decisively and appropriately, really admirable. Even the slightly inexperienced Su Luoxue, its obvious shes a seasoned business person, generous and efficient in her work without dragging. Of course, more importantly, everyone is so beautiful! *Cough cough cough!* Seeing this, Grandma Jia Yi was speechless: "You dont care about anything, do you?" "Ive done everything, what do they need to do?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Alright then. After we finish arranging this song, well go take a look," Grandma Jia Yi suggested. "Look at what?" Lu Xiaobu was puzzled. Fang Li smiled and said: "Grandma Jia Yi means we want to first see the conditions and personal qualities of the contestants, the outside world and media are all talking about your preliminary selection, its all vague, we also want to understand the situation of the contestants first, to be prepared when recording the show, to know what to expect." Chen Wen said: "Yes, Im quite looking forward to it." "No peeking," Lu Xiaobu flatly refused, "If you look now, the show will be boring later. Well, thats it." He blocked everyones request with a single sentence. Let them see? Impossible. You know, when he was on Earth, he loved seeing those coaches turning around, looking all confused. So amusing! Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the four coaches were helpless. Only Lu Xiaobu could dare to refuse their joint request to peek ahead! They also realized that although Lu Xiaobu acts as a hands-off shopkeeper, he still holds absolute control. He doesnt nod, no one dares to let them see. But as said before, its more fun not to sneak a peek. Now, they are really filled with anticipation for those contestants. What kind of contestants are they? Chapter 383 - 382: Evil Wind [2nd Update] Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Evil Wind [2nd Update]Time passes. "The Voice" is progressing swiftly with the massive injection of financial and human resources. Its worth mentioning that ever since Lu Xiaobu encountered Sun Wanqi, he has lifted the endless loop curse on the official website. A large group of people was suddenly liberated. To celebrate, they went to Lu Xiaobus Weibo and cursed a couple of times. Well, theyre cut from the same cloth as Lu Xiaobu! Time is drawing nearer. Countdown four days: Blinds contestants and alternates have all been confirmed and locked in, these are the final confirmed candidates, after the preliminary auditions and further filtering of those who advanced. Countdown three days: The contestants VCR clips have been finalized. Countdown two days: The stage is ready. Countdown one day: Equipment adjustment is nearing its end. Wow, this pace is incredibly fast, they even finished ahead of schedule. A whole half month early. Liang Lan asked Lu Xiaobu whether to start immediately or wait for the originally scheduled time. How could Lu Xiaobu have the patience to wait? Get started right away! ... So. Today. Thursday at half-past twelve noon, the scheduled broadcast day for "The Voice," eight and a half hours away from the scheduled broadcast time of nine oclock in the evening! Recording site. All the crew members of the show are gathered. Liang Lan stands there to do one final confirmation of the work. "Work badges? Audience entry badges?" "Done, all packed!" "Post-production of VCR?" "Director Liang, its all done!" "Lighting?" "Testing completed." "Equipment?" "Confirmed OK!" "Coaches and contestants?" "All nineteen contestants for the first episode are already in the backstage area, three coaches have arrived and are getting into costume in the makeup rooms; were just missing Sister Sun. I just confirmed over the phone, Sister Sun is on the way, will be here in ten minutes, her manager says shes coming already made up, so theres no need for make-up time. We can start as soon as all coaches are here." "Audience?" "Theyre all here, verifying identities, issuing entry passes." Liang Lan nods in satisfaction and then looks at Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master, were ready." "Ok, lets begin," Lu Xiaobu shrugs his shoulders; hes always been confident in Liang Lans competence. "All departments in position, allow audience entry, get ready to record!" Liang Lan immediately orders. ... Recording has started here. But Director Nie is now feeling incredibly stressed. Although he was aware that the production had been sped up, even finishing half a month early, He hadnt really paid it much attention. After all, finishing early is a good thing, right? However, he was only informed yesterday that they were ready, and today Liang Lan notified him that recording was starting, and it would be broadcast tonight. When Director Nie received Liang Lans notification, he was frantic. Do you think show times can be casually changed? To speak of moving it up so casually, they really do whatever they please. But then Liang Lan brings out the wager they previously set with Lu Xiaobu. Director Nie agreed to give "The Voice" the green light, and if "The Voice" achieved a viewership rate over 0.8%... Well, checkmate! With no other choice, he had to notify a program currently in the prime time slot to make way for "The Voice." Look, the chief director of this show is arguing with him right now. "Why the hell? Why should I give way to them?! Our program is the best our station has done, with ratings nearly breaking 0.3% these few days. What are you doing?!" Yuan Xu stood in front of Director Nie, discontentedly. "Didnt I explain everything to you already? Why dont you listen?" Director Nie was getting impatient too. Yuan Xu had been making a fuss for almost an hour here. He just wouldnt listen. "No way, just no!" Yuan Xu said stubbornly. Golden time slot, how could he possibly give it up?! "It has to happen whether you like it or not!" Director Nie slammed the table: "Whos the station head, you or me?!" After saying that, Director Nie left. Really taking dough for hardtack? His heart was also very uneasy; if "The Voice" didnt reach a 0.8% ratingoh, didnt even reach 0.6%, which is double the current ratings of the program He might get into trouble too. Young Master Lu ah, Young Master Lu, Im really going all out here! Youve got to give it your all! Director Nie had left, leaving only the infuriated Yuan Xu: "Rich and impressive? Can money alone make a good show?! No matter how rich, such shoddy work wont cut it!" Dont question the ability of people to find fault. Picking bones out of eggs is the forte of those always envious or angry. And so, just half an hour later, a malevolent wind began to sweep through Shimen TV Station! "A show isnt just about having money to make it good, since the timing has been moved up, should rehearse well again! What if something goes wrong?" "Ah, still too young! Too impulsive in doing things." "You all see, it might have broken 0.3%, but now, I bet its even tough to hit 0.2%." sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Relying on spending so much money to achieve a 0.3% rating, now even stealing time, really a loss!" "Dont know what Director Nie was thinking." ... This malicious gossip started internally, with an inexplicable authority. So, it quickly spread to the outside. And gradually, the wind of public opinion shifted. "Did you hear Lu Xiaobu bullied others with his power, stealing someone elses program time?" "Thats too much!" "Does he have that much confidence? So domineering!? Directly taking the timeslot? If the ratings tank, Id like to see how hell explain himself." "Yeah, that program of his was never favored by everyone, and now he pulls this stunt, seriously pointless!" "What the heck is that program? Some lame gimmick of only listening to voices, whats the point? Other talent shows have good-looking contestants that can sing well too! But what about yours? Just banking on their singing? It doesnt matter how ugly they are? Why would we watch your show, we might as well watch the others who are pretty and sing beautifully!" "Youre right." "A program that bullies its way like this, not worth watching, probably just toying with us." Of course, there were still those who staunchly supported Lu Xiaobu. "Are you all nuts? So jealous your eyes are red? When has Young Master Bu ever bullied anyone?!" "Exactly, a bunch of people who dont know the real story, just gabbing away!" "Now I see it, you keyboard warriors, doing nothing but stalking Young Master Bu all day, ready to jump out the moment theres a whiff of trouble!" "Really brain-damaged!" ... However, those who supported Lu Xiaobu were still in the minority. Compared to those blackening Lu Xiaobus name, and those who were just watching the excitement, they were much fewer. The malicious online wind was blowing harder and harder. Even some so-called industry insiders predicted that the program Lu Xiaobu spent big money on wouldnt even reach a 0.4% rating. Yep, these experts all had a good relationship with Yuan Xu. With these professionals speaking out, the online atmosphere that evening was fueled even more. For a moment, those supporting Lu Xiaobu couldnt hold their heads up high. It was just that Lu Xiaobu himself didnt know about this yet. If he knew, tsk tsk tsk. Chapter 385 - 384: Which Bug Dares to Make a Sound [Fourth Update, 21k Recommendation Tickets Extra] Chapter 385: Chapter 384: Which Bug Dares to Make a Sound [Fourth Update, 21k Recommendation Tickets Extra]Lu Xiaobu finally received the news. "Boss, our show has been collectively boycotted and condemned by dozens of people from the industry. It has even caused a stir with the relevant departments. They say were inflating our franchise fees and maliciously damaging the market environment!" Su Luoxue spoke to Lu Xiaobu as she held her phone. Liang Lan is busy at the moment, so Su Luoxue is taking care of Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu took the phone and had a look, then rolled his eyes: "A maximum of 0.6%?! You need at least 1.2% to justify such a high franchise fee?!" He opened Weibo, originally wanting to curse out loud, but after thinking about it, he is after all an educator by now, it seems he shouldnt go too far. Well, alright then, lets cuss with a bit of literary flair! "Sitting alone by the pond Im fierce like a tiger, beneath the shade of trees I nurture my spirit." "When spring arrives I will not be the first to speak, which insect dares to make a noise?" Lu Xiaobus Weibo was sent out. Those people were boycotting Lu Xiaobu, so how could they not follow Lu Xiaobus Weibo? And so! In an instant! The internet exploded! "Damn, this poem is way too badass!" "This is another work from Lu Xiaobu following Youthful Heavenly Dynasty. Still as domineering as ever!" "Especially that last line! When spring arrives I will not be the first to speak, which insect dares to make a noise? What does that mean? Its telling all you bugs to stay in line, or hell gobble you up in one bite!" "Classic Lu Xiaobu style, stepping on every other show in the business! Hes declaring war on the entire variety show circle!" "Exactly, who has Young Master Bu ever feared!? To hell with the competition!" Lu Xiaobus fans gained confidence and instantly toughened up. They started flocking to the official websites of various TV stations. "Hey, which breed of bug are you, who allowed you to speak?" "Shut it! Nonsense! Slapping your faces!" "Did you hear what Young Master Bu said?" The ones boycotting Lu Xiaobu were furious. They originally thought that faced with such a comprehensive address, Lu Xiaobu would either explain himself or go silent. But who would have thought that he would throw back a poem like this, with absolutely no respect for his peers! "Which insect dares to make a noise? Lu Xiaobu! Youre really full of yourself!" "Be satisfied if your new show gets 0.6%! And you still aspire to top the variety show world? To look down on all variety shows? Are you still dreaming?" "Dont you have a bit of an objective assessment of your show? With just a little analysis, its clear that The Voice of the Heavenly Dynasty is only a niche program that deviates from the norm, something the majority of the public wont accept!" "Lu Xiaobu, dont be too confident in yourself!" "This is the variety show industry, not your arrogant business world where money talks!" "Big talk indeed! Ha! Lets see what you do after your broadcast today!" People from the business world chuckled at this scene. You in the selection show industry really dont understand Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu showing you respect?! I dont think its Lu Xiaobu who is dreaming, its you who are dreaming! You should be thankful that Lu Xiaobu inadvertently became an educator before. Otherwise, by now? You would have been verbally torn apart, with a couple of slaps to boot! However, the thoughts of the business world are not known to the variety show industry. Theyve declared war! "Hehe, let The Voice surpass the ratings of my show first!" "Director Wang, your shows ratings are at 0.75%! Whats there for him to surpass? Hes just good at talking big and spouting nonsense!" "People from the commercial circle really dont understand our variety show business!" "What I find amusing is the ignorance of you all. Weve been struggling in the variety show industry for so many years, becoming veterans. The longer you stay here, the more reverence you should have, the more you should be aware of your deficiencies and limitations. But Lu Xiaobu, relying on his wealth, does whatever he wants?!" "This guy is really infuriating!" "Dont just talk the talk! Show us the ratings for the real test!" S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Right! You want to look down on all variety shows, right? Lets just compare the ratings!" "..." The variety show industry launched wave after wave of criticism and condemnation towards Lu Xiaobu, with some who had not joined in boycotting Lu Xiaobu now jumping out in fury after reading his poem! The battle has intensified! Lu Xiaobu has stirred up a hornets nest! ... Elsewhere, Lu Xiaobu was calm and collected, cracking sunflower seeds and sipping cola. Compete in ratings? Those shows that havent even broken 1% want to compete with "The Voice"? Do they still remember what he said? Back then, "The Voice" was measured in whole percentages, not fractions of a percent. And now, with his perfect replication and even surpassing production. His confidence was incredibly abundant! Staff from the program team came over with anxious expressions to inquire, only to be kicked back by Lu Xiaobu: "Go do your jobs, why the unnecessary worries?!" Zhang Feng and the others were chased away. "Elder Wang, do you think we can do it?" Zhang Feng was extremely nervous: "This is like making an enemy of the entire world!" "I dont know either!" Elder Wang shivered: "If we lose, well be notoriously infamous!" "It feels like weve boarded a thiefs ship!" Zhang Feng muttered. ... At this moment, Director Nie had also gone crazy, hurrying to the scene: "Oh my ancestors! What on earth are you doing?!" "What am I doing? Im not doing anything! Look, I didnt even use any foul language to curse them," Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said. "I" Director Nie was at a loss for words, after a long pause, he finally asked: "Can we win!?" To hell with it, hes all in! After all, its always been half-dead anyway, not much fun! "Definitely win!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "Alright then, Im leaving," Director Nie didnt dare to stay here, hed better just wait obediently for the results. "Director Nie, wait a minute." Su Luoxue suddenly stopped Director Nie and said, "This wind feels a bit peculiar, I suggest Director Nie go back and investigate." She suggested subtly, then promptly returned to Lu Xiaobus side. She had also learned quite a bit now. Director Nie, upon hearing Su Luoxues words, his eyes darted around, but he did not speak and left with his head down. Even if he was all in, he still had to leave a way out for himself. As for this matter, lets wait until we win to discuss it. But before leaving, he still took a cursory glance at the setup inside the venue. Just one feeling: damn lavish. Just a casual look. The lighting equipment on the left, worth two hundred and twenty thousand! The machine on the right, worth one hundred and ten thousand! And the big screen with its associated equipment at the back, at least a million to start with! He guessed, other than the Spring Festival Gala, who else could spend so lavishly! Truly befitting of Lu Xiaobu! Not to mention anything else, but in terms of lavish spending, nobody can compete! Director Nie left. The audience entered. Everything was ready. Liang Lan nodded to Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the nervousness in his heart: "All departments, pay attention, we are about to begin!" Its finally starting! Chapter 386 - 385: Start【Fifth Release 22k Recommend Votes Extra】 Chapter 386: Chapter 385: StartFifth Release 22k Recommend Votes ExtraRecording starts! The music sounds! As the prelude wafts in, many audiences in the venue squint their eyes, feeling too indulged; the sound equipment is exceptionally good, the sound effects are simply incredible! Lu Xiaobu nods his head in satisfaction. The program team is also full of admiration. This set of top domestic equipment is truly worth the price; its expensive indeed, but you get what you pay for! The stage darkens, leaving only a few beams of red light dancing around the venue! Suddenly, a beam of white light bursts forth, cascading down from above, other lights respond collectively, flickering and converging at the stage entrance, lighting up a silhouette, with the light moving slowly following the figure! The first person comes outits Chen Wen! Chen Wen, in a floral suit, walks slowly with a microphone in hand, "Wanting to fly to the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun, the world waits for me to change..." Then, the second coach appears! The person is not yet seen, but the voice takes the stage first! "The dreams I wish to dream, never afraid of others seeing, here I can realize them all!" Its Chen Wens wife, Fang Li, with that light and agile voice, shes uniquely renowned in the music industry! Next, Grandma Jia Yi takes the stage, her singing rhythm tends largely towards operatic style. But though her voice carries, it has a special charm, especially pleasing, never making one feel its odd for an operatically inclined voice to sing pop songs: "Laugh out loud, let us stand shoulder to shoulder, where can we not have endless joy!" Finally, the last coach makes a showstopping entrance! The moment she appears, the entire audience cheers and stands up, with incessant screams! Sun Wanqi steps onto the stage with a broad, genuine smile: "Cast away the troubles, bravely stride forward, here I stand in the center of the stage!" The melody suddenly intensifies! The four look at each other and start singing together: "I believe I am who I am, I believe in tomorrow, I believe youth has no horizon." "At the sunsets seaside, on the bustling streets, both are the most beautiful paradises in my heart." "I believe in being free and comfortable, I believe in hope, I believe I can touch the sky if I just stretch out my hand, with you by my side, making life fresher, every moment is incredibly wonderful, I-do-believe!" The audience is ecstatic, some waving their arms, some screaming! S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The four voices are each distinct. Grandma Jia Yis voice is very steady and robust. Chen Wens voice has more explosive power. Fang Li is soft and agile. Together with Sun Wanqis magnetic and mature voice. The four distinct timbres surprisingly blend just right, making this theme song performed extraordinarily! A perfect stage! Perfect sound effects! Perfect singing! An opening song has already ignited the whole venue! "It sounds so good!" "The singing is really good! Its my first time hearing it live! So satisfying!" "These coaches are indeed the powerhouses of the music industry, each more impressive than the last!" "And the song is great too! It sounds so good even the first time listening! Wanting to fly up to the sky shoulder to shoulder with the sun? How bold is that! Who wrote this song? Why havent I heard it before!?" "I heard its original!" "This song is definitely going to be a hit!" "True, I dont know about the show, but the song is awesome, and so is the opening effect!" "Im intoxicated! This is really singing!" Many audiences only now discover for the first time a distinction between The Voice and other contemporary singing talent shows. The advantage of lighting effects and sound quality is simply overwhelming. Adding to it four big names, all master singers. Compared to others, this opening indeed surpasses all other talent shows! The music hasnt stopped yet; its still at its final stretch. The host chosen meticulously by Liang Lan has already taken the stage, and from above, a hanging microphone has dropped from the ceiling. The thick end of the microphone hanging downwards was swiftly grabbed by the host who loudly said, "Lets welcome our four mentors with a warm round of applause! The first mentor, Jia Yi!" Thunderous applause! Accompanied by the music, Grandma Jia Yi smiles and waves at everyone, heading to her mentors chair. The host loudly declares, "Next mentor, Chen Wen!" Chen Wen raised both thumbs up in the air and jogged to his seat. "Welcome the third mentor, Fang Li!" the host exclaimed with a high pitch. A host needs to know what tone to use depending on the time and atmosphere. It was evident that they were very skilled. Indeed, if not for being skilled, how could one be chosen by Liang Lan, who ensures every command regarding Lu Xiaobu is completed with one hundred and twenty percent precision? Fang Li made no particular gestures, and took her seat with a gentle smile. Actually, its mainly because Chen Wen wouldnt let her move around too much, so she couldnt just do whatever she wanted! The host announced, "Please welcome our final mentor, Sun Wanqi!" Sun Wanqis popularity was sky-high; when she was introduced, the audiences applause clearly reached a new level, the decibels multiplying and were even accompanied by cheers! To be honest, Fifty percent of the audience came specifically for Sun Wanqi. Otherwise, given the current reputation of "The Voice", its uncertain how many would have shown up. With this instance, it proves how correct it was for Principal Li to have suggested Lu Xiaobu invite Sun Wanqi. Thats also why Lu Xiaobu, who is usually so lazy, agreed to Principal Lis proposal for whatever fancy speeches. If someone genuinely takes good care of him, he needs to reciprocate. The host then starts with the opening remarks - reading advertisements. A series of procedures pass. The real show begins! The host stands firm and says loudly, "Now, the stage is theirs; lets welcome our first contestant today! And please, mentors, turn your chairs around." The four chairs move simultaneously, slowly rotating. Fang Li finds it quite novel and quietly discusses with Sun Wanqi beside her. Many audience members are stunned by this sight! "Whats the meaning of this?" "What are they doing?" "Why are the chairs turning around? We wont be able to see the contestants like this!" "Right, whats the deal here?" "Havent you seen the promo for The Voice? An episode had already explained the rules. The mentors are supposed to listen without seeing the contestants; this is the core emphasis of the show." "Ah?" "Have the mentors met the contestants beforehand?" "I heard not. Grandma Jia Yi mentioned it once, saying that Lu Xiaobu didnt tell them anything about any contestant, its all kept secret, and the four mentors hadnt even seen a shadow." "That must be true then, Grandma Jia Yi never lies." "Wow, what a big setup!" "This is going to be interesting for sure, turning the chairs? Sounds fresh!" "My curiosity is definitely piqued. The design is interesting, just not sure about the execution." "..." Lu Xiaobu rubs his hands together with a mischievous grin. It has to start with a bang! Thus, the first one to perform is a real spectacle. Hes already looking forward to the mentors being totally baffled. Of course, its also time for them to show their puzzled faces! Seeing his sly smile, the four mentors suddenly feel a chill! Why does it feel like Lu Xiaobu is up to something?! Chapter 387 - 386: Dare to Be the First in the World【1st Update】 Chapter 387: Chapter 386: Dare to Be the First in the World1st UpdateAfter the four mentors turned around. The show didnt start immediately, after all, live recording and playback are different. Instead, there was a wait of about three minutes. The stage was briefly adjusted again, the lights dimmed, and then it was about to begin. Click clack. Click clack. The lights dwindled, one by one extinguished. The voice of Assistant Director Zhang Feng rang out on the scene: "Prepare the countdown, five, four, three, two, one, rolling, the first contestant on stage!" However. Trouble suddenly erupted! The first contestant actually chickened out and didnt dare to go up on stage. The first contestant was that female PE teacher. The one who sang a bombastic male song as a woman. Her surname is Wu, and her name is Wu Mei. Originally, she was quite bold, but at the last moment she got nervous. "I cant do it! How about someone else goes first? Ill go second!" Wu Meis palms were sweating. After all, she is a PE teacher, so shes usually quite bold when dealing with the school, daring to belt out a song on the big sports field. During the auditions, because there were not many people, she also performed well, seemed quite composed. But now? Just thinking about the fact that there are hundreds of audience members sitting under the stage, not to mention there are celebrities like Sun Wanqi and Fang Li whom she could only see on TV and newspapers. Not to mention, on the other end of the camera, its broadcasted to the entire nation. The entire nations one billion people could be reached. So, she really chickened out! Actually, its understandable. Many of us are like this, always want to chicken out before going on stage. "Its alright, just do it like you did before." Zhang Feng was anxiously spinning in circles, pulling this stunt at the last second. While he was persuading her, Elder Wang suddenly had a stroke of genius, pointing to the impatient Xiaobu sitting below the stage, and said: "Wu Mei, if you dont go up now, I reckon Young Master Bu is going to blow his top." "Alright, Im going up now!" Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As soon as Wu Mei heard the name Xiaobu... She grabbed the microphone, clenched her fist. She dashed onto the stage in a brisk stride, even stirring up a gust of wind. Xiaobu? Losing his temper?! She didnt think it through, but just the combination of these two words gave her an infinite amount of pressure... *cough cough* I mean, an infinite amount of motivation! After all, she was here for Xiaobus prestige in the first place; naturally, she knew that if Xiaobu lost it, he wouldnt care about any rules! Zhang Feng was dumbfounded. Is Young Master Bus name really that effective? On the scene. All four mentors chairs were turned around, unable to see anyone, only able to see the names behind the chairs. Because of the dazzling stage lights, the audience section below was also a blur of gray. Theres a saying "invisible under the spotlight", and thats the situation here. So Wu Mei could hardly see anything right now. However, this actually made her much calmer all at once; she patted her chest and decided to go for it! Wu Mei was no longer nervous. Instead, Zhang Feng and Elder Wang started feeling anxious. "Elder Wang, do you think Wu Mei can pull it off?" asked an uneasy Zhang Feng. Although they were an idle program team, they were still tied to "The Voice", they couldnt help but worry. Elder Wang spread his hands and said: "How would I know?" Zhang Feng said: "Im afraid the audience wont be able to accept her voice." Another editor expressed his worry: "Whether the mentors can appreciate this style of singing is uncertain too. If you ask me, we should have let the mentors help filter through some contestants in advance." "What if Young Master Bu thinks shes okay, but both the audience and the mentors dont like her, and if several contestants in a row dont turn any chairs, then our show is going to bomb!" "Young Master Bu wont allow it; no matter what you say, its useless. Go do your own thing," said Elder Wang as he waved his hand and walked away. He said he wasnt worried but was in fact the most anxious of them all. Young Master Bu, I hope the groundbreaking program youve created can make it! Heavenly God, bless us! The rest sighed and also left the scene. As Wu Mei stepped on stage, the audience gave symbolic applause, clapping a few times before it stopped. After all, they could see what Wu Mei looked like. They were speechless. "Really paying no attention to appearance at all!" "Damn, shes so fat?" "I thought at first that only listening to the voice was The Voices gimmick meant to deceive, but they actually do ignore appearances? This person is so plain! Lu Xiaobu really dares to choose anyone!" "Can a woman this fat sing well?" "The sight is too beautiful, I dare not look!" "..." The audience was initially full of anticipation. But after seeing the first contestant, their hearts had already cooled down by half, and the anticipation quickly diminished. Its not that they judged people by their looks, but in singing talent shows, theyve always seen handsome men and beautiful women. But now, the opening act was someone this fat, they really couldnt accept it! The four mentors faced the audience, so they naturally saw the audiences expressions very clearly. Sun Wanqi spread her hands and said, "It looks like things arent going too well?" Chen Wen glanced at Lu Xiaobus composed expression and gave a bitter smile, "I guess so, but Young Master Bu seems pretty confident." Fang Li also shook her head slightly, noncommittal, since the audiences reaction was too obvious. Amidst this delicate atmosphere, Wu Mei turned around to nod at someone behind her, indicating that she was ready. At the same time, the heated music also started playing on stage. The beat of the drum! The guitar! The bass! The melody was unmistakably a rock song! The audience was taken aback, what did this mean? The chubby girl wants to sing rock? Many people knew that rock was more often sung by men. Because it required showcasing an attitude and a kind of Strength, and sometimes women lacked in Power. Even if women truly sang it, they would only manage a superficial rendition, failing to convey that unique spirit! They already didnt have a good impression of you. And youre singing rock? Youre really brave! "Im Still Alive, without music, no dance, no prayers!" "Im Still Alive, without life, no enjoyment, no laughter!" As soon as her voice came out, the entire venue was filled with Wu Meis grating and hoarse voice. Her voice had no softness, no beauty, no depth, there was only Power! Power in the voice! And emotional Power! The audience was stunned! "This..." "Holy crap!" "What kind of voice is this!" "This vocal range, this voice, this Power!" "Oh my God, why do I have goosebumps!" The four mentors also had a flash of surprise in their eyes. After all, they had never had any contact with any of the contestants from beginning to end. And now, with their backs to the stage, they were even more looking forward to the voice behind them. Of course, they also had their own standards in mind for what a good voice should be. However, what they never expected was... That the voice of the first contestant would be so unique, so explosive! They had rarely heard a woman sing "Im Still Alive" like this! Keep in mind, the original singer of this song was a male vocalist! And now, this hoarse female voice actually had more Power than a male singer?? This must be a joke! What would the original singer think?! At this moment Wu Mei had really gotten into the groove, her voice becoming steadier and richer: "Im Still Alive, without brothers, no lover, no friends!" "Im Still Alive, without dreams, no pursuit, no glory!" And at this point, something unexpected happened! Chapter 388 - 387: Capturing Three Cities in One Fell Swoop [Second Update] Chapter 388: Chapter 387: Capturing Three Cities in One Fell Swoop [Second Update]The first mentor couldnt sit still any longer. It was Chen Wen! He raised his hand excitedly and smashed the red button without any hesitation! "Bang!" "Swoosh!" Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The mentors chair turned around! The audience gasped in surprise! "It turned!" "Ah!" "Its turning, its turning!" "It sounds so good! So incredibly good!" When Chen Wen saw Wu Mei on stage... His eyes were filled with astonishment. He really hadnt expected the other party to be a plump girl. Just like Young Master Bu had said, indeed, looks were truly deceiving! But well, it didnt matter, her voice had already conquered him! He nodded vigorously at Wu Mei, immediately giving her a thumbs-up over his head, his face clearly unsettled! Sitting in the audience, Lu Xiaobu saw Chen Wens reaction and snapped his fingersbeautiful! That was exactly the reaction he wanted, shocked but still conquered. Absolutely thrilling! Sun Wanqi squinted impassively. Fang Li turned her head to glance at Chen Wen, gripping her hand tightly, then letting go, somewhat hesitant. Grandma Jia Yi was listening intently with her eyes closed and did not move. Suddenly, Wu Meis bridge came in, with a brief pause as she gripped the microphone. Then, the bridge burst forth: "But, I still have myself!" The most explosive line of Power! Following this line, Fang Li didnt hesitate any longer and slapped the red button with a pop! Like Chen Wen, the moment she saw Wu Mei, her face was filled with astonishment. She finally understood why the audience had those expressions before. She smiled wryly to herselfYoung Master Bu, you really are something else. Alright, Im truly conquered this time, completely conquered by the voice! The corner of Lu Xiaobus mouth curled up, taking it all inthe second one. Following closely behind, almost at the same time as Fang Li, Grandma Jia Yi suddenly opened her tightly shut eyes. She didnt press the button as forcefully or swiftly, but she pressed it down firmly and resolutely! However, Grandma Jia Yi was a veteran after all. Upon seeing Wu Mei, her eyes only slightly shifted, then were once again filled with a smile. This Xiaobu really did have something special! A true voice-focused show was indeed wonderful! Lu Xiaobu, entirely composedthe third one! "I want to live, I seek laughter!" "I want to live, I seek glory!" "I want to live, for I am laughter!" "I want to live, for I am glory!" At that moment, the only mentor who still had her back turned, Sun Wanqi, smiled slightly and said, "Its you!" "Snap!" The chair slowly turned around, facing the stage! Sun Wanqi, after all being the Queen of Heaven, saw He Mei and smiled gently, with hardly any surprise. Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrowsplaying it cool with me?! Lets see how long you can keep that up. What he most wanted to see was the Queen of Heavens shock. Not seeing it now annoyed him a bit. The audience burst into cheers and applause! "So satisfying!" "Yeah, really awesome!" "Im sweating on my back from listening!" "Where did this woman pop out from? A professional singer, right? She sings so well?" "If shes not a professional singer, she must definitely be someone who studied music professionally!" "This voice is so powerful! Even stronger than a mans!" "Its so unexpected, how can a woman with her figure sing so movingly! Ive heard a lot of people sing this song, but none of them gave me this feeling of boiling blood!" "Brilliant!" "This song is divine when she sings it!" The audience erupted into a lively discussion! On the side of the stage. Some of the program staff started screaming like crazy! "Look!" "Elder Wang! Look!" Elder Wang, still with his head down, not daring to look: "Tell me first, have any judges turned their chairs?" Zhang Feng next to him said, "They turned!" Elder Wang asked, "What? Really? How many?" Zhang Feng excitedly said, "All of them! All four judges have turned!" Hearing this, Elder Wang hurriedly looked up. Theyve turned! Theyve really all turned! All the lights were on, and it was only then Wu Mei got her first clear view of the audience beneath the stage. But when she saw that the four judges were not with their backs to her, but facing her... When she saw countless members of the audience screaming and clapping... Wu Mei froze, standing motionless in place! What happened? Whats going on? Wu Mei couldnt believe the scene before her! Chen Wen eagerly said, "You were amazing!" Fang Li exclaimed, "Your voice is so unique! So beautiful!" Wu Mei, still unclear about the situation, asked, "I... Im not eliminated?" Jia Yi smiled, "Of course not! Didnt you see that all four of us have turned?" Hearing this, Wu Mei felt her head buzz and then everything went blank. Afterward, she did something that made everyone laugh: she held up the mic, tilted her head back, stretched out her arms, and let out a long shout, "Ahhhh!" Well, kind of like a gorilla... cough cough cough! Too excited, she didnt know how to react! They had really all turned! They actually acknowledged me!! Wu Mei really had a strong lung capacity, she shouted for a good five or six seconds! The judges didnt rush her. Waiting until she stopped. Sun Wanqi took control of the situation: "Whats your name?" Wu Mei caught her breath and gasped, "My name is Wu Mei, Wu Mei!" Sun Wanqi smiled, "Your voice is highly recognizable; the friction of the vocal cords producing the sounds is very magnetic and attractive. What made you choose this song?" "Im Still Alive is a famous rock song. Many people have sung it, but its the first time a woman has made it sound like thisthe power and the yelling, I believe everyone here felt it." Jia Yi looked at her: "That line I still have myself gave me chills. You must have a story!" Wu Mei scratched her head, pointed to her figure, and said with a bitter smile, "Judges, do I need a story? Look at my figure, listen to my voice; I really have nothing and live life as lifelessly as a salted fish every day." "If it werent for Young Master Bu who insisted on holding The Voice competition, I would probably continue living lifelessly like a salted fish." "And that line, thats just what I wanted to say." Jia Yi happily said, "You really should thank Xiaobu. We should also thank him. If it werent for Lu Xiaobu, we would never have known there was such a powerful female rock singer in our country." Wu Mei quickly said, "Thank you, thank you, judges. I was really overwhelmed just now. I never imagined people would like to hear me sing! I...I...Its just incredible!" Chen Wen commented, "Be more confident, youre really great. Those who dont appreciate your voice simply dont understand music. Whats your job?" Wu Mei repeated, "Im a teacher, a teacher!" The judges had a moment of realization. The audience also understood, no wonder she sang so well, she was a professional, a music teacher! Fang Li, unsurprised, asked, "Which schools music teacher are you?" "Huh?" Wu Mei looked confused, a music teacher? When she revealed her answer, the venue went wild! Chapter 389 - 388: Never Taking the Conventional Path [3rd Update, 23k Bonus for Recommendations] Chapter 389: Chapter 388: Never Taking the Conventional Path [3rd Update, 23k Bonus for Recommendations]Upon hearing the coaches questions. Wu Mei quickly waved her hands: "How can I be a music teacher? I am a PE teacher!" Upon hearing this answer. "Pfft!" The audience, who were drinking water at the time, spewed out god knows how much. PE teacher? You, a PE teacher, can sing like that? Youre really defying the heavens! And to think, such a PE teacher is such a chubby girl. Lu Xiaobu actually dared to let her perform on stage, even letting her be the opening act? Just for this, they had no choice but to admire Lu Xiaobus courage to be a pioneer! Fang Li was also stunned. What? What did you say!? Youre a PE teacher!? Jia Yis interest was piqued, her curiosity fully aroused: "Then who did you learn music from?" Wu Mei blinked: "I never learned, I just sing randomly. They always say I sing horribly, so I sing to them every day!" Hearing this reply, everyone at the scene burst into laughter. This chubby girl really has a great attitude! Just like in the song, she still has her true self! She is glory! At this moment, Chen Wen slapped the chair: "Regardless if you teach PE or shot put, Im going to pick you, dont hesitate, come to my team. Among the few coaches here, Im the only one who sings rock, I can offer you more help than they can." Grandma Jia Yi slightly turned her head, raising her eyebrows: "Wow, the fight for her starts now, huh?" Chen Wen laughed: "Little Wu, remember I was the first to clap!" At this point, Sun Wanqi spoke up: "Hey, did I just hear someone say that theres only one rock singer among the coaches?" She rubbed her ears, as if she hadnt heard clearly. The audience laughed again. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Its starting to heat up! Chen Wen broke into a sweat: "..." I forgot about this powerhouse. Sun Wanqi tilted her head: "Old Chen, I seem to remember when I sang rock, you hadnt even debuted yet, right?" Her words were indeed factual, although Sun Wanqi was around the same age as Chen Guang. But, she debuted much earlier. Otherwise, why do you think so many people call her Sister Sun. Chen Wen helplessly said: "Sister Sun, but youve now switched to singing love songs and ballads." Sun Wanqi smiled: "But my rock foundations havent faded." Then she looked at Wu Mei: "Moreover, were both women, so come to my team, Little Wu." Chen Wen quickly said: "Little Wu, come here, I can provide you comprehensive help!" Wu Mei was hesitating. Fang Li suddenly spoke up, pointing at her husband: "He knows them, I know them, whatever help he can give you, I can too!" Chen Wen glared: "I can guide her in rock, you dont even sing rock!" Fang Li firmly said: "Little Wu, join my team, if I cant teach you, Ill let Old Chen teach you!" Chen Wen nearly fainted: "You! Youre just" Fang Li insisted firmly: "You must let her choose me!" "Impossible! Dont even think about it!" Chen Wen huffed. Fang Li glared, and actually got up from her chair: "Say that again." Sun Wanqi leaned aside: "Oh boy, its getting heated, I want to step back!" The audience burst into laughter! Jia Yi smiled at Sun Wanqi: "Arent these two the model couple of the entertainment industry?" "Before coming here, they were." Sun Wanqi smiled: "After recording this episode, who knows!" "Ha ha ha!" The audience burst into laughter again! How exciting! Such clowns! Truly worthy of a show organized by Young Master Bu! This coaches fight over a contestant is as entertaining as the contestants performances! Its really heating up! Its really kicking off! In other talent shows, coaches are usually all amicable with one another. In some shows, if a coach has their eyes set on a contestant, the others usually dont compete, at most they might joke about it a bit. Or, in some talent shows, theres simply no segment like this, and mentors just pick contestants directly, targeting specific individuals, or they divide them into male, female, or older groups with each mentor managing one team, without any competition for contestants! "Heavenly Dynastys The Voice" clearly subverts this tradition of talent shows by boldly adding the segment of mentors "brawling" over contestantsa concept so daring that others can hardly imagine, which immediately excited the audience! Jia Yia veteran singing artist! Sun Wanqia popular Queen of Heaven! Chen Wen and Fang Lithis ideal couple! A singing artist and the Queen of Heaven at odds? A fierce battle between role-model couple? Could it be any more thrilling! Could it be any more... spectacular! *cough cough* Just love watching this! Only Lu Xiaobu dares to play like this! Backstage! Zhang Feng exclaimed in surprise, "What are the mentors..." Elder Wang wiped sweat from his forehead: "So, this is how they fight over contestants!" The staff from other program departments were also stunned as they watched! Lu Xiaobu had included the mentor-contestant scramble in their proposal. But only Liang Lan knew exactly how it was supposed to be executed. Resulting in an unexpectedly effective scene like this! Its really about snatching! Its really about fighting! Nie, the station manager, couldnt help but run back, his eyes shining with surprise. No need to ask, the scene definitely wasnt a spontaneous idea from the mentors. Because such a scramble for contestants has never been seen in other talent shows. This was clearly commanded by Lu Xiaobu and executed by Liang Lan! Judging by Liang Lans attitude of executing Lu Xiaobus commands with 120% accuracy. She might have already discussed privately with the four mentors more than once about how to fight and snatch, leading to this unexpectedly dramatic scene! It can actually be done like this! This is indeed possible! He was absolutely convinced! Lu Xiaobus ideas are always wildly imaginative yet explosively effective! Chen Wen exclaimed, "Wu Mei! I cant wait any longer!" Fang Li smilingly said, "Think carefully, Wu Mei. I think you can tell who calls the shots at home between the two of us." Chen Wen: "..." The audience started to heckle. "Oh!" "Ha ha!" Sun Wanqi stirred things up from the sidelines: "Old Chen, if I were you, I definitely couldnt endure this!" Chen Wen slammed his hand on the chair: "I cant hold back anymore, my wife is usually so gentle at home, but she transforms when shes here!" Fang Li responded, "Thats because Wu Meis voice is what Ive been longing for! Everyone else can step aside, but not Wu Mei!" By the end, Jia Yi said to Sun Wanqi, "Well, it seems like theres no role for us mothers here." Sun Wanqi just watched the couple bicker without intervening further, then checked the time and took control of the pace: "Wu Mei, make your decision." Chen Wen, seeing an opportunity, thought about sneaking in a last move. Unexpectedly, Fang Li launched a preemptive strike, holding her stomach: "Oh dear, this is making me furious!" "Pfft!" Chen Wen was so taken aback he almost choked on his own blood. This is too much, using their son as leverage! So. He simply raised his hand in surrender: "Alright, alright, I give up; Wu Mei, choose my wife! If she cant teach you, I will!" Fang Li immediately flashed a triumphant V sign, her stomach pain suddenly gone! The scene erupted into laughter. Looks like Fang Li was the more cunning one! Now that matters had come to this pass, Wu Mei had no other choice. She had to choose coach Fang Li. After excitedly thanking everyone, she exited the stage. Thus, the first contestant to advance in "The Voice" was born! Wu Mei left backstage, and the four mentors seats slowly turned back. The audience, energized as if invigorated, was on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next contestants performance. Earlier disbelief had long been swept away! "The Voice," orchestrated by Lu Xiaobu, was exactly what they wanted! Chapter 391 - 390: The Grand Finale [Fifth update for 25,000 recommendation votes] Chapter 391: Chapter 390: The Grand Finale [Fifth update for 25,000 recommendation votes]Since all four coaches turned around. A new round of scramble began. Sun Wanqi asked with a smile, "Why did you think of coming to this stage?" "Actually, I just wanted to give it a try. Im usually too exhausted and wanted to go crazy for once. After all, Young Master Bu said he doesnt judge by looks or profession, so it must be true. If I miss this opportunity, Im afraid Ill never have another chance," Sun Dalong spoke honestly. The coaches were all speechless. There you go, another one here for Lu Xiaobu. Look at the prestige of these three words, Lu Xiaobu. Sun Wanqi joked, "But your Young Master Bu isnt a coach, you know." "No, no, no, I also like the other coaches a lot," Sun Dalong said with a sheepish smile. Grandma Jia Yi took the initiative and addressed Sun Daxuan, "Little Sun, come to my team." Sun Dalong said, "Grandma Jia Yi, my parents are both big fans of yours." Sun Wanqi laughed, "Well, looks like Grandma Jia Yi is out of luck." Jia Yi: "..." The audience laughed. Sun Dalong felt awkward, "Then uh..." Chen Wen said, "You see, among the four coaches, Im the only male. Its got to be my team, right?" "What are you talking about? Our surnames are even the same," Sun Wanqi quickly joined in to refute. "Thats right, go with Chen Wen! Ill have him take you to his concert this time." Fang Li thought about it, realizing her competitive edge wasnt strong, so she decided to help her husband instead. "Hey, you two really are a couple! Fighting at the head of the bed but reconciled at the foot of it. You were just bickering, and now youre teaming up against me?" Sun Wanqi raised an eyebrow, "I also hold concerts, and Ill take him too." The audience chuckled heartily. This kind of squabble between big stars could only be seen here! In the end, Sun Dalong thought for a moment, "Ill still choose Coach Chen Wen." Although Queen of Heaven Sun Wanqi seemed more tempting, he also felt the pressure would be huge. It would be more comfortable to go with Chen Wen, another man. "Ah!" Sun Wanqi put on a show of sighing, "You two are bullying me!" "Whose fault is it? Sister Sun, you were the one who stirred things up," Fang Li giggled. The audience burst into laughter. "This is really interesting." "Haha, this show is good, watching the stars squabble is just as entertaining as listening to songs." "This contestant sings so well, I definitely have to download it once the show is aired, to listen to it slowly!" "I just wonder, why havent I seen such good singers before? How come they all appear on The Voice? How did Lu Xiaobu find them all?" "Who knows?" "What, didnt they just say it? Its all because of the three words, Lu Xiaobu. When Young Master Bu says he doesnt look at appearances, he really doesnt." "Thats true, if they went to other talent shows, they probably wouldnt even make it through the auditions. They can only be here thanks to Young Master Bu." "Next, next!" The audience was incredibly excited. Their previous skepticism was smashed and thrown into the Mariana Trench. A show like this, with low ratings?! If its low, Ill let you kick my head like a ball! ... The third contestant took the stage. Her name is Shi Ru, bringing a song called "Fireworks" that a contestant had sung during the auditions. She sang it correctly and appropriately, not as stunning as the first two, but just right! The song moved both Jia Yi and Fang Li, who turned around for her. The other two didnt turn around. After a tussle between Jia Yi and Fang Li. Eventually, Grandma Jia Yi snatched the talent amid Fang Lis sighs. ... Following that, the contestants came out one by one. The fifth contestant... The sixth contestant... The seventh contestant... Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. All contestants today had at least one coach turn around for them, with as many as four turning around and at least one doing so. For instance, only Chen Wen turned around for the fifth contestant. Up to this point. Jia Yi gained two people. Chen Wen gained three people. Fang Li gained two people. And the more demanding Sun Wanqi still had no one under her wing. After all, besides Wu Meithe first, and Sun Dalongthe second, she hadnt turned around for any others. However, she was not in a hurry, nor did she lower her standards. Since its all about the voice. She was quietly searching for a voice that could touch her heart. After all, this was Lu Xiaobus show, there wouldnt be any underhanded tricks even if she found no one. On this point, everyone felt at ease, including her. ... It was already three oclock in the afternoon. The coaches and the audience were starting to feel a bit tired. Liang Lan glanced around, weighed the situation, and then ordered a ten-minute break for everyone. Sun Wanqi didnt move. Jia Yi, Fang Li, and Chen Wen all got up to go to the restroom. Upon hearing the announcement, many spectators also started to leave the recording venue, led by staff, to get water, breathe some fresh air in the hallways, or to use the restroom. "Today has really been satisfying." "Yeah, truly exciting." "But its a bit anticlimactic." "Mmm, I also have that feeling, maybe because the earlier performances were so amazing that even though the later ones are good, it seems they dont quite have the strength of the earlier contestants, lacking someone whose voice makes your skin crawl with amazement from the very first note!" "Eh, do you think that the audition only found a few strong contestants and the program arranged for them to all go on early? After that, there are no other powerful contestants? If thats the case, the anticipation for future shows will decrease significantly; there wont be much to look forward to!" "I dont know." "Stop thinking about it. Its already great to have so many good singers. The weakest among these seven would dominate in any other talent show!" "Thats what you say, but the initial and earlier contestants are so strong that they raised my expectations, making me hope for even better ones to come." "Forget about it. Contestants like these are one in a million. You might only find one in a few million; theyre not so easy to come by. Having these is already not easy; theyve been handpicked by Lu Xiaobu from all over the country." "Yeah, I think people shouldnt expect too much. The later contestants are probably about the same; there wont be another shocking voice like Wu Mei. The Voice has already played all its trump cards." "Thats what I think too." "Ah, thats right; where can you find so many astonishing contestants?!" "Even so, this show is already awesome. At least Ive never seen a talent show this thrilling!" "Lu Xiaobu is really impressive! Just at his command, so many people come flocking because of his name!" ... At this moment, Sun Wanqi stood up and approached the languid Lu Xiaobu. "Something wrong?" Lu Xiaobus gaze fixed on her delicate, pretty face. He never hid his appreciation for beautiful women. "You dont really have any more good contestants, do you? I havent gotten a single one yet." Sun Wanqi spoke with a hint of provocation. Never doubt a womans ability to hold a grudge, and the Queen of Heaven is no exception. She still remembered the endless looping curse that Lu Xiaobu had used to torment her. "How could that be? The last one will definitely blow your mind." Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a mischievous smirk. Do you know whos the finale? Its that guy who can sing more feminine than a femaleNing Feiping. Arent you, Sun Wanqi, mostly unruffled most of the time? This time, Ill give you a real shock! Chapter 392 - 391 In the Next Minute [1 Update] Chapter 392: Chapter 391 In the Next Minute [1 Update]The break is over. The show starts again. Backstage. Ning Feiping is already waiting there. Ha Qiqi hands him the microphone, "One more minute, its your turn, Xiaoning." Ning Feiping is also visibly nervous, not the usual kind of nervousness. Its the kind of nervousness that makes one sweat buckets. In fact, you can clearly see the sweat trickling down his forehead. Hes just a migrant worker, when has he ever seen such a grand scene! Ning Feipings hands tremble with unease: "Im scared, I definitely wont sing as well as the previous contestants." Zhang Feng says: "Dont put yourself down!" Ning Feiping shakes his head: "They really do sing better than me!" Elder Wang encourages: "You were the first one chosen by Young Master Bu, how could you not be up to the task?" But Ning Feiping feels even more pressure, he looks down at his clothes and says: "But my outfit also..." The production team only provides makeup, not wardrobe. That was Young Master Bus orderto maintain authenticity! So, the contestants have to prepare their own outfits. Ning Feiping, who repairs bicycles for a living, barely makes ends meet each month, so being satisfied with food and drink is already enough, not to mention paying attention to clothing. After all, no one would pay him a dime more just because hes well-dressed. What hes wearing now, is his cleanest outfit. Zhang Feng pats his shoulder and says: "Its fine, dont you know Young Master Bu? What he wants is authenticity, not those flashy, useless things!" Downstairs. Many staff members whisper to each other as they see Ning Feiping is about to take the stage. "Its Ning Feipings turn!" "I know him, hes the finale?" "Yeah." "Can he do it? His voice is a bit..." "I think its great! I really like his voice!" "You like it, but that doesnt mean the audience and judges will accept it." "Thats true, Ning Feiping is quite different from the other contestants, probably the most controversial among the trainees." "Let nature take its course!" "..." Countdown. Three seconds... Two seconds... One second... Recording starts! "Please welcome the next trainee!" says the host. Instantly, the stage lights dim, amplifying the atmosphere to the fullest. Ning Feiping hesitates, then walks onto the stage with trepidation. Hes even more nervous than Wu Mei, who opened the show. Even he doesnt realize that his back has unconsciously hunched over, filled with insecurity. Zhang Feng is extremely worried and shouts from below: "Xiaoning, stand tall!" It is only then that Ning Feiping stiffly straightens his back a bit. Elder Wang says: "You can do it! Youre the best!" Finally, Ning Feiping is fully revealed to all the audience on the scene. The director Nie is startledthis is the closing act? The audience mostly shares the same surprised expression. To say, the previous contestants had housewives, PE teachers, train drivers, corporate office workers, and so on. Although some werent good-looking, and were overweight or thin, at least they were dressed appropriately. After all, its television, and one should find a nice outfit to wear. Even if some are in casual clothes and sneakers, they still look clean and tidy. But what about the person before them now? Its not an insult, its an objective assessment. Too low-grade. The old clothes hes wearing are clean, but thats about it. The outdated sneakers, yellowed with age, clearly washed countless times. Perfectly ordinary, or rather, a somewhat plain buzz-cut that not even the stylist can do anything about. As for so-called charisma, lets not even go there. Honestly, with a contestant like this, standing on stage, youd say its a publicity stunt. Nobody would believe otherwise! "Phew!" "Is this a contestant?" "Lu Xiaobus stage really is full of surprises." "Right? Are there really migrant workers here?" "This contestant doesnt look like someone who can sing!" "Isnt this guy just here to court controversy?" "I really think so. Is he going to sing a viral internet song to shock everyone?" "Haha, its quite possible!" "Let me be clear, its not about looking down on anyone. The middle-order singers werent so great, but they werent bad either! And now for the finale, a migrant worker? Whats the big idea?" "Maybe its not the production teams fault. I feel like maybe Lu Xiaobu has run out of tricks and put all the good contestants upfront, so the end is a bit lackluster." "I can understand the production teams intention. If there are no good contestants left, what do they do? Just let a migrant worker come shock everyone, sing a song to incite controversy, artificially raise the topic." "No way! Lu Xiaobu isnt like that!" "Who knows? Can you predict Lu Xiaobus moves? After all, Lu Xiaobu is a businessman!" "I guess so!" "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." After the heated opening, the audiences excitement was boiling, full of surprises and unexpected moments. Their appetites were whetted. Although the singing quality of the later contestants was not as good as the previous ones, they were still acceptable. After all, they believed that the finale would surely deliver. Such anticipation was powerful. But then. The culmination of their waiting turned out to be this contestant. Its only normal for the audience to feel disappointed. The station manager, Nie, saw the audiences reaction and thought to himselfThis is bad! Even if there really are no good contestants left, you cant just make do with a migrant worker. If worst comes to worst, even someone who sings mediocrely would suffice. At least that wouldnt cause such a stir or provoke controversy. Everything was going so well at first, hitting amazing highs. And now, the finale is fumbling? Dont you realize that a makeshift migrant worker could cause the entire show to collapse? Attracting attention just for the sake of attracting attention?! Young Master Lu, oh Young Master Lu, this is really... too willful of you! The coaches sitting on the chairs are facing the audience. Sar?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They cant see behind them, and can only gauge the contestant based on the audiences reaction. Grandma Jia Yi: "Huh, this person seems controversial?" Chen Wen: "Dont know, but everyone looks disappointed?" Fang Li: "Must be because he didnt meet everyones expectations." Grandma Jia Yi: "Theres nothing you can do, voices that awe everyone arent that common. Its good enough if a show has one or two." Seeing the audiences reaction, all four coaches prepare for the worst. If it sounds good theyll turn around, if not, they wont hit the buzzer. Lu Xiaobus show is all about being real, so lets keep it real! Only Sun Wanqi gives Lu Xiaobu a provocative lookLooks like your ace in the hole isnt much after all! Lu Xiaobu snortsNot much?! Just you watch! In the next minute, Ill shock you! Chapter 395 - 393 I Choose Young Master Bu (Part 2)【Extra for the Clown’s Birthday】 Chapter 395: Chapter 393 I Choose Young Master Bu (Part 2)Extra for the Clowns BirthdayAfter the shock, came the scramble for talent. Grandma Jia Yi didnt even wait for Ning Feiping to introduce himself before she eagerly said, "Young man, you are incredible! Youve truly astounded us!" "Ive been in the industry for forty years, and Ive never heard a man sing a womans song in a way that sounds even more like a woman than a woman doesthis isnt meant in a derogatory sense, your voice is just so unique!" "And your singing skill is just too remarkable! The emotion and mood that you convey in each word, especially in the undertones at the end of each line, is so touching!" S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Fang Li patted her chest as she exhaled, "I need to compose myself first, you really scared me, scared all of us, with that voice, its simply indescribable!" Chen Wen kept repeating that one phrase, "Incredible!" Sun Wanqis eyes sparkled with light as she smiled and said, "Well, why dont we all calm down for a moment and you give us a self-introduction?" Ning Feiping quickly said, "My name is Ning Feiping." Fang Li asked, "Im very curious, why are you dressed like this today?" His clothes were old and tattered. In Fang Lis view, this didnt match the contestants voice or singing skill at all, it seemed like a deliberate attempt to appear poor or to create a sensation. Was he dressing himself up to look miserable on purpose? Or did these clothes have some special significance to the contestant? Ning Feiping scratched his head and said, "This is how I usually dress... always." "Oh? Whats your profession?" Sun Wanqi followed up. Ning Feiping continued scratching his head, "I fix bicycles." "Pfft!" Everyone felt a twinge in their liver. What? A bicycle repairman? Impossible! Chen Wen said, "Xiaoning, you cant be joking." Ning Feiping quickly said, "Im not joking at all." Grandma Jia Yi was also somewhat incredulous, asking, "How long have you been repairing bicycles? When did you start? Where do you work? We can check, you know." Ning Feiping thought for a moment, "Its been quite a few years, I started by learning from a master, and later I was able to repair bikes myself, over on the east side of the bridge." Grandma Jia Yi took a deep breath, "You really repair bicycles?" Ning Feiping said, "Really, Young Master Bu said everything has to be real, I wouldnt lie." The audience was also staggering around, dizzied, damn! Fang Lis mouth twitched, "With your singing ability, there arent many formally trained music university graduates who can sing better than you, I would believe you if you said you were a music teacher!" Just now she had admitted that this contestant was not inferior to her, and now he turns out to be a bicycle repairman, how is she supposed to feel? Ning Feiping quickly waved his hands, "No no, I havent attended college, let alone been a teacher." Chen Wen spread his hands, "Im at a loss for words, this is just too unbelievable!" Sun Wanqi teased, "How many times have you said unbelievable since just now?" Chen Wen spread his hands, "But it is, its just so unbelievable!" There, he said it again! The audience all laughed. But they also understood. After all, the word unbelievable was in everyones mind. Fang Li blinked her eyes and said to Ning Feiping, "But your speaking voice seems pretty normal, so why does singing turn into this kind of voice? Are you deliberately imitating a womans voice? Cross-dressing?" Sun Wanqi suddenly said with certainty, "Its not cross-dressing." "Oh?" Fang Li was taken aback. Jia Yi also puzzled, "This is his natural voice?" Chen Wen also waited for Sun Wanqis explanation. Sun Wanqi, with a gleam in her eye, smiled and said, "If Im not mistaken, Nings voice when he sings is probably his most natural tone, the least controlled." "And when he speaks, thats when hes deliberately using a technique similar to reverse-voicing, intentionally lowering his pitch." Fang Li pondered, "Is that so?" Chen Wen was somewhat skeptical, "So he normally speaks with a deliberately altered voice? I cant believe it, wouldnt that be too tiring?" Sun Wanqi continued to explain, mainly for the audiences benefit. Of course, it was also to showcase her skill and to strengthen her impression in Ning Feipings mind. This man, she decided, was hers. "It might be tiring at first, but after a while, it would become habitual." "Its really quite simple, like how different dialects have varying tones, the same sentence might sound higher in one region and lower in another. It all becomes second nature over time." With that, Sun Wanqi herself said a sentence in two different ways. "Like this voice." A very sharp voice. "Or like this." A very deep voice. Sun Wanqi said, "I can produce many different kinds of voices myself, and if I used one of those voices continuously for several years, my regular speech would also change to that." "So, the thing about voices is that theyre quite malleable, once you get used to it, you might really just get used to it." However, she paused and then said, "But no matter how habitual, the core quality of a persons voice wont change dramatically outside of a specific period or without destructive damage." "My analysis is that Nings voice never broke, or if it did, it was brief." "This results in him still having the voice from his childhood, while other boys voices have deepened significantly, his has not, as markedly." "Thats why weve had the fortune to hear such an ethereal female voice, which I believe is the most natural for Ning, even if he tries to cover it up with a lower speaking range." Ning Feiping chuckled dryly, somewhat embarrassed, scratching his head non-stop. Sun Wanqi continued, "Could you speak a few words in your most natural voice for us to hear?" Ning Feiping was indeed embarrassed, but still pressed on, speaking in a very neutral voice, "Um, is this okay?" Chapter 396 - 393 I Choose Young Master Bu (Part 2)【Extra for the Clown’s Birthday】_2 Chapter 396: Chapter 393 I Choose Young Master Bu (Part 2)Extra for the Clowns Birthday_2Hmm, the voice suddenly changed, completely different from the way he was talking just now. This way of speaking, if others were to look at him with their eyes open, they might find his voice a bit strange. But if they close their eyes and cant tell if the speaker is male or female by listening, nine out of ten would think its a woman speaking. Ning Feipings unmasked speaking voice now clearly sounds more like his singing voice. Fang Li exclaimed, "Is that really your voice?" Ning Feiping scratched his ears, "It has always been like this. After everyone elses voice changed during school, mine didnt change, and it was always different, and I was often made fun of." "I later deliberately lowered my voice to talk like everyone else." "But when I sing, I cant control it, and I cant sing in a lowered voice." "So I can say Ive never sung in front of others; Ive always secretly sung on my own." "If it werent for Young Master Bu requesting to organize the show, I would never dare to join any audition." Everyone fainted, so all these anomalies, without fail, came for Lu Xiaobu. That also makes sense, only here they wouldnt be laughed at, would they be eliminated. Only the name Lu Xiaobu carries such weight! Sun Wanqi smiled slightly proudly, "See, I understand you, right?" Ning Feiping was indeed very impressed; his little secret was spotted by Sun Wanqi at a glance. He couldnt hide it at all, knowing that others still thought he was imitating a female voice. "So, huh." Sun Wanqi laughed, "Wouldnt it be embarrassing if you didnt join my team?" That was her ultimate goal. Grandma Jia Yi sensed something was amiss and quickly interrupted, "Hey, hey, hey, arent we not yet at the voting phase?" This cant be allowed! I knew Sun Wanqi was too eager. Chen Wen also said, "Yeah, Sister Sun, we are still understanding the contestants situation. How can you start canvassing already? If were talking about canvassing, I should be the first, as I applauded first." Fang Li decisively said, "Ning, come to my team. Ill use all my resources to help you, nurture you, and, along with my team... win the championship!" Sun Wanqi gave a sidelong glance. The audience stirred! Ah? Win the championship? Isnt this a high appraisal? Ning Feiping was taken aback: "Ah!" Championship? He sang just for Young Master Bu, almost recklessly so. He hadnt even dared to hope that a mentor would turn around for him. Now to suddenly hear championship, he was really frightened. Grandma Jia Yi chuckled, "Little Li, this is just the blind audition phase! Dont speak too soon!" Chen Wen immediately followed up, "Let my Little Li keep dreaming, lets not wake her up." Fang Li: "..." She reached out and pinched Chen Wen at the waist, giving a small twist. "Ouch!" Chen Wen dramatically inhaled. The audience laughed; this couple is starting up again. These two, after recording one episode, might actually cause a divorce haha! Jia Yi said, "Ning, think carefully. My teams lineup is not so complete yet. Chen Wen and Fang Lis teams already have strong leads. If you join my team, youll be the ace, didnt Li mention winning the championship? If you come over, I too have confidence in winning the championship!" Sun Wanqi smiled, "Wow, is it already the final now? It seems like the championship decision is already being made!" Ning Feiping quickly said, "I dont sing that well, really not!" He wasnt being modesteveryone remembers what a wimp he was before. So, he really felt he wasnt good enough. The audience also felt life is like a play. A previously underestimated migrant worker, now sought after hot property, all the mentors pulling out all stops to recruit him, and the audience thoroughly enjoying the spectacle! Chen Wen and his wife once again fiercely argue! Sun Wanqi and Grandma Jia Yi, these age-mismatched friends also started fighting! Later, the scene almost went out of control. Fang Li even ran onto the stage, "Ning, you dont have to come over, Ill come to you, Ill wait for you right here!" Chen Wen also came down, "Im waiting for you too!" Seeing them both on stage, Grandma Jia Yi stepped toward Ning Feiping, "Even though Im older, and my legs arent great, but for the championship, I have to come up too!" Ning Feiping was extremely embarrassed and at a loss! S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When had he ever seen such a scene?! Just Sun Wanqi alone still sat on the mentors chair, "Ning, make your decision! Dont be swayed by others pressure, follow your heart, follow your feelings, and make your choice!" After all, she is the Queen of Heaven; she still has that confidence. The mentors stopped talking. The audience also became silent, waiting to see who Ning Feiping would choose. This man really is a major general; whoever gets him might really have a chance at the championship! Ning Feiping agonized, "I, I think..." After struggling for half a day, Ning Feiping finally gritted his teeth, knowing that a decision had to be made, knowing he could no longer delay. He gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, then looked at Lu Xiaobu and shouted: "Young Master Bu, who should I choose?! You tell me who to pick, and Ill pick them!" He didnt care anymore. Just like that. After all, he was singing for the appreciation of Young Master Bu. Whoever Young Master Bu said to choose, he would choose. Even if Young Master Bu said to go back and continue fixing cars, he would turn around and leave, never lingering. "Pfft!" Everyone in the audience spat out a mouthful of old blood for three kilometers. You thought for so long, biting your teeth and stomping your feet. And yet, you still ended up asking Lu Xiaobu?! But everyone understands. He didnt come for any of the mentors; he was solely here for Lu Xiaobu! "Huh?" Lu Xiaobu was also a bit stunned. This kid, really. The camera lens turned, focusing on Lu Xiaobu. As the camera moved, everyones gaze in the venue turned to Lu Xiaobu. The four mentors looked over as well. "Cough cough cough, well, Young Master Bu, you see how good our relationship is, right? Cant you help me out?" Fang Li was the quickest to react, being the first one on stage. Now, she was the first one to come over. Of course, she didnt make any excessive moves. Firstly, this was being recorded. Secondly, Chen Wen was still here. Cough cough cough, of course, even if Chen Wen wasnt here, it still wouldnt be okay! Chen Wen saw it, how could this be okay? That was his wife! How could it be? What should he do? How could only his wife approach Young Master Bu? So, he also jogged over: "Young Master Bu, you see, our relationship is right, more intimate than theirs, right? Our whole family owes you a great debt." "How come you turn a favor from Xiaobu into your own topic?" Grandma Jia Yi immediately came down, looked at Lu Xiaobu and said: "Xiaobu, you see, I didnt even go to the Spring Festival Gala at that time, but I came over at just a word from you. If you dont support me now, that would be somewhat unfair." Grandma Jia Yi went all out for Ning Feiping, even using the tactic of playing the seniority card. Anyway, its just one thing, this person must be secured! "Let me think about it." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and thought for a while, not replying immediately. He was waiting for someone. Waiting for Sun Wanqi. Lu Xiaobu remained motionless here, and Sun Wanqi got anxious. She couldnt keep calm anymore. This wasnt right. How did it end up being about Lu Xiaobu while talking? Nevermind, no matter what, she couldnt sit still. She had no choice; if the contestant got to choose, after all, she was a Queen of Heaven, this title here naturally gave her an advantage. Generally speaking, as long as she expressed a strong desire, the contestant wouldnt refuse her. But! Now Ning Feiping had given the choice to Lu Xiaobu. This Lu Xiaobu wouldnt care about her Queen of Heaven status. Otherwise, he wouldnt always be looking at her with such undisguised eyes. The audience on the scene saw Sun Wanqi coming down too. Their lips immediately curled up in smiles. "This is going to be fun!" "Who doesnt know that Young Master Bu is the most playful one." "Yeah! Suddenly, Im really looking forward to it!" "How will Young Master Bu choose between them?!" "Tsk tsk tsk!" Lu Xiaobu also showed a slight smilecough cough cough, its not me stirring trouble! You brought it on yourselves! Chapter 397 - 395 Learn to Meow [1st Update] Chapter 397: Chapter 395 Learn to Meow [1st Update]Finally. For Ning Feiping. Sun Wanqi couldnt help herself anymore and walked over. However, Sun Wanqi didnt talk like Chen Wen, Fang Li, and Grandma Jia Yi were doing. Instead, she just quietly stood in front of Lu Xiaobu and looked at him. The meaning was clearYou figure it out! Would Lu Xiaobu be afraid of them? Really! Lu Xiaobu sat leisurely in the chair, just quietly watching them. Chen Wen couldnt stand it anymore, he was a man after all, and among the coaches, he was closest to Lu Xiaobu. He spoke first. "Young Master Bu, you gotta say something! Its awkward to be silent, right?" Chen Wen urged. "Sure," Lu Xiaobu tilted his head towards Ning Feiping on the stage: "Will you really listen to me?" "Yep!" Ning Feiping nodded emphatically. He came specifically for Lu Xiaobu, so naturally, he would listen to Lu Xiaobu. "Then okay!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "Since this is a singing competition, how about we sing to determine whos the best?" Upon hearing this, the four coaches all immediately looked up. Talk about something else. Talking about singing? They really have never been afraid of anyone. "Xiaobu, tell us, what song? What style?" Grandma Jia Yi asked. All four of them had their unique singing styles. Hers was mainly operatic. Chen Wen was into rock. Fang Li was pop. And Sun Wanqi had recently been focusing on folk and Chinese style. However, having said that, they were after all prominent figures in the music scene; they could handle any style. "Anything goes?" Lu Xiaobus mouth curved into a sly smile. "Of course!" Chen Wen affirmed. Fang Li nodded. Grandma Jia Yi smiled. Sun Wanqi also implied her agreement. At the same time, the audience was getting excited. "Young Master Bu is making Sister Sun and the others sing?!" "Sure, this is really possible! To listen to four coaches sing two songs in one episode, what a win!" "Who says no!" "..." Lu Xiaobu smirked: "Alright then! How about you all try singing Learn to Meow?" Dont you think itd be cute and refreshing to hear Fang Li, especially Sun Wanqi, meowing? "Learn to Meow?" Four faces confused. They looked at each other, saw the confusion in each others eyes, and continued to be baffled. "Yes, Learn to Meow." Lu Xiaobu took a complete set of lyrics and sheet music from the system and handed it over to the four: "Take a look." Alright, Im too lazy to write this. The four were passing the lyrics around. After reading them, the corners of their mouths twitched. This song... Meow meow meow meow meow? They have to sing it? Make these top figures in the music industry sing it? On The Voices stage? And release it after singing?! Are you kidding? But at this moment, there was another emotion in their hearts. It was astonishment. They had never seen this song before. And if these four leading figures hadnt seen it, then it practically meant that this song had never appeared before. In other words, like The Voice theme song, it was created by Lu Xiaobu. Never mind how the song is, is Lu Xiaobu really that talented?! "Can we change to another song?" Chen Wen, under the intimidating stares of the other three ladies, stepped forward again and said, "This song, indeed is a bit..." They were discussing here. The audience was all bewildered. "Meow like a cat? Is this a song? Or actually meowing like a cat?!" "No way! Just hearing the name of this song sounds a bit..." "Tsk tsk tsk, but, suddenly Im feeling a bit unexpectedly excited! Think about it, a Queen of Heaven, two music industry moguls, plus a veteran singer, all singing Meow Like a Cat together, tsk tsk tsk!" "Damn, now that you mention it, Im getting excited too!" "..." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "No worries, no pressure. Chen Wen, are you backing out?" "Me!" Chen Wen was stunned, then immediately said, "Not backing out!" The other three ladies also realized, Lu Xiaobu definitely wouldnt change the song. But they indeed felt embarrassed to sing this song. What should they do then? "We have no problem." The clever Fang Li thought for a moment, then immediately made her stance: "I saw it, this is actually a romantic duet for male and female. Chen Wen and I have no issues." While saying this, she also gave Sun Wanqi and Grandma Jia Yi a smug look. Chen Wen also reacted similarly, nodding hurriedly: "Right, no problem." They were a couple, whats wrong with singing a love song? Absolutely no problem! On the other hand, Grandma Jia Yi and Sister Sun. One was of age, unsuitable for singing this song, the other held a high status, to sing such a song for no reason would definitely be criticized. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Looks like, they were sure to win. Sun Wanqi heard this and narrowed her eyes slightly, glancing at Lu Xiaobu grinning beside her, then smiled and said, "Who says I cant? Its just a song like this! I used to sing childrens songs back in the days, whats this in comparison?" "Sister Sun, dont force yourself," laughed Fang Li. She hoped in her heart that Sun Wanqi would back out knowing the difficulty. After all, if the others backed out, wouldnt they win? "Forcing myself? Absolutely not." Sun Wanqi waved her hand and said. "Alright, well go first then." Seeing that she couldnt avoid it, Fang Li thought, Alright, lets do this! She pulled Chen Wen onto the stage. Fang Li, true to her background as a music teacher, quickly grasped the essence. "Well meow together." "Together, meow meow meow meow." "Acting coquettishly in front of you." "Ow meow meow meow meow." Fang Lis voice was famously delicate. Moreover, with Chen Wen by her side, and them having just had their loves fruition. At that moment, her eyes deeply gazed at Chen Wen. Even matching the lyrics, she made a coquettish gesture. These two were an old married couple. Yet, Fang Li managed to fully embody the air of a young girl newly in love, filled with affection yet mischievously playful. Their emotions and Fang Lis skill were conspicuous. As for Chen Wen, seeing his wife like this. He felt no embarrassment either, and quickly got into the mood. "Every day I need your hug." "Savoring every minute and second together." "How important you are to me." "I think you know even better than I do." "You are my leading lady." While singing, he even affectionately held Fang Lis head, gently kissing her forehead. That love was not fake. This was basically an outpour of true feelings from this model couple. However, their intimacy dealt a 10,000-point critical hit to the audience downstairs! "Wow!" Immediately, the place erupted with cheers. "This dog food Im eating!" "Ah! I cant take it anymore!" "Ah! Full of dog food!" "Im full! Stuffed!" "..." After the song ended, Fang Li playfully shook her head and glanced at Sun Wanqi: "Sister Sun, back down knowing its tough." "Sorry, I rise to the challenge!" Sun Wanqi narrowed her eyes. Hearing her words, the venue exploded! Sun Wanqi is really going to sing?! Chapter 398 - 396: Blood-Sprouting Cuteness [Second Update] Chapter 398: Chapter 396: Blood-Sprouting Cuteness [Second Update]Sun Wanqi actually didnt really want to sing at first. After all, her status was too lofty, and singing such songs could potentially draw criticism. But then, she looked at Ning Feiping on the stage, hmm, she wanted to. She glanced at Lu Xiaobu next to her, hmm, she was annoyed. Finally, she looked at Fang Li on the stage, who was somewhat provocative, hmm, she wouldnt accept that! Being someone a bit OCD, theres no way her temper was that good. Sing? Bring it on, whos afraid? So. She picked up the sheet music and just belted out: "We learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow meow." "I act cute in front of you, oh my meow meow meow meow meow." While singing, Sun Wanqi even gestured a cheek-holding action. While Chen Wen and Fang Li were performing a love song, Sun Wanqi took the cutesiness of meowing to the pinnacle! However, her gaze was fixed on Lu XiaobuYou just wait! "Pfft!" Lu Xiaobu was genuinely slain by Sun Wanqis adorable gesture. He truly hadnt anticipated that the Queen of Heaven, when selling cuteness, could be so enchanting. Thats it, his nosebleed was coming. Damn, it felt insanely good. What? Cant imagine it? Well, think about it, every guy has his goddess, right? Just imagine, a goddess who usually gives you the cold shoulder, and you basically cant cross paths with her in everyday life. But! Suddenly one day, your goddess comes over and acts cute for you. Even throwing a little tantrum! Isnt that cool?! Just asking, isnt that cool?! Doesnt it feel like winning the lottery!? It wasnt just him. Sun Wanqis current action was being clearly recorded by the photographers. The audience at the scene all saw it. Just like Lu Xiaobu. They all had their faces blown away by the cuteness. "Pfft!" "This is too cute!" "And its not just that, especially since the person is the Queen of Heaven, now acting cute? And singing such an adorable song!? This contrast in cuteness, its too thrilling!" "I cant handle it anymore! Call 120 for me, Im out of blood!" "Young Master Bu is awesome! Who else could make the Queen of Heaven act so cute?!" "And, and, did you see? Sister Sun was looking at Young Master Bu while making those cute gestures." "Could it be! Hiss!" "..." Although Sun Wanqi only sang a short part. The sensation it caused at the scene surpassed even the full duet of Chen Wen and Fang Li. Its all because Fang Li is already married. Cough, cough, cough. You know what I mean. "Little Sun you..." Grandma Jia Yi was also stunned. Little Sun was really going all out! Then, she smiled bitterly: "I give up, you guys go ahead and compete." With her age, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to sing such a song in such a public setting. Looks like she really wasnt destined to be with this Young Ning. After the singing, Lu Xiaobu wiped his nosebleed, cough, cough, cough, actually there wasnt any. He stood up: "Alright, lets vote. You all should have the voting devices, red is for Chen Wen and his wife, blue is for Sun Wanqi." He had already posed the question, its not good to have a monopoly now. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the production team quickly activated the voting device. At the same time, they also looked at Liang Lan, who was busy moving around, with admiration. Indeed, to understand Young Master Bu, you had to count on Liang Lan. They had initially planned to use the voting device only in the finals. They were suggesting not to rush it. But Liang Lan told them, it must be ready. At that time, they didnt know why. Now, they understood. Because, where theres Young Master Bu, theres always a surprise. Who would have thought that that originally final-round voter, would be used in the first episode, and not on the contestants but on the mentors. Very quickly. The voting results are out.

"Alright then, Ning, just follow Sister Sun." Lu Xiaobu made the decision. "Okay, thank you Young Master Bu. Thank you!" Ning Feiping immediately nodded and agreed. He was very excited in his heart; he would be happy with any of the four mentors. But the Queen of Heaven is after all the Queen of Heaven, of course she would make him even happier. "Am I not your mentor? For you, I went all out, and now you keep thanking Lu Xiaobu, what does that mean?!" Hearing Ning Feipings words, Sun Wanqi rolled her eyes on the side. "That... that... that... thank you, Mentor!" Ning Feiping was suddenly beyond embarrassed. Meanwhile, the camera captured a small detail. It zoomed in on Fang Li. Fang Li could be seen giving a bitter smile, then wiping the corner of her eye, and there were actually tears: "Its over!" "Look, Teacher Fang even shed tears for you." Sun Wanqi said smilingly to Ning Feiping. Grandma Jia Yi chuckled and patted Fang Li on the back. "Teacher Fang, I, I..." Ning Feiping was terribly anxious and quickly went up to say, "I really do like you!" Fang Li said annoyingly. Ning Feiping, this honest child, didnt know what to say, and was almost crying in desperation. "How about you say now that youve chosen me?" Fang Li said immediately. Ning Feiping: "..." "Xiaoli, youre being unfair now." Sun Wanqi laughed. "I really, really like him!" Fang Li said with a bitter smile. "Yeah, indeed he sings really well!" Chen Wen also exclaimed. While saying this, Chen Wen hugged Fang Li. He knew it was because Fang Li was pregnant and her emotions were fluctuating significantly. But still, Fang Li was just venting, not really being unreasonable. "Alright, no more fuss. Learn everything from Sister Sun, and then come to my concert as a guest!" Fang Li said, and then hugged Ning Feiping. It was evident, she really couldnt bear to let go. Seeing Fang Li like this, Sun Wanqi also felt a sense of pride in her heart. After all, seeing Fang Li like this, she felt that her previous all-out cutesy action was worth it. It wasnt schadenfreude, just a very human reaction. ... The recording ended. The first episode thus concluded among everyones applause, with many audience members feeling it ended too soon, discussing enthusiastically as they exited the venue. "It was amazing!" "A god-level show, no explanation needed!" "Absolutely, it was divine!" "Lu Xiaobu is really awesome! And seeing Sister Sun being cutesy, what a bonus!" "The stage, the lighting, the opening song, the host, the contestants, top-notch in the industry! In a word, this is the best and most sincere singing competition show Ive ever seen!" "Seriously, I wasnt expecting much from this type of talent show, just came because a friend gave me the ticket, but the surprise was too great!" "Just wonder what the ratings will be." "It cant be bad!" "Young Master Bu did say, who dares to make a noise! It should be fine." "0.8% ratings? I feel it should be at least 0.9%!" "Yes, let alone others, I need to watch it again tonight." "Lets find a place, and watch it together!" "Sure!" "Too exhilarating! An auditory feast!" The audience chatted excitedly as they left the venue. All the audience onsite were looking forward to that explosive moment in the ratings. After all. Spring comes and I do not speak first, which insect dares to make a noise! These were words laid down by Young Master Bu! When Young Master Bu triumphs over everything, they as witnesses, will also share in the glory!

The logo of "The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty" appeared on the TV screen punctually. Accompanied by music, the prerecorded MV began to play. It mainly introduced the coaches and the rules, which isnt necessary to elaborate on here. The first episode of "The Voice" officially begins! sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Meanwhile, many viewers had already gathered in front of their televisions. Among them were Lu Hongbin, Lu Wenhuo, Lus father... There were the seven calabashes of Lu Group, and the one-hundred-thousand strong Iron Cavalry of Lu Group... There were also Principal Li, students from Emperor Electric, fans of Lu Xiaobu, fans of Sun Wanqi, fans of Chen Wen and Fang Li, and so on and so forth. These people were supporters of Lu Xiaobu, so their watching was not unusual. Amusedly, many viewers who were skeptical or even boycotting "The Voice" were actually sitting in front of their TVs right now. Their remote controls had already switched to Shimen TV. Frankly speaking, they were waiting to revel in any possible mishaps. Morbid curiosity is human nature. That applies to them. And it applies even more so to those in the industry opposing Lu Xiaobu. They wanted to identify the programs flaws and failures to better and more accurately target Lu Xiaobu! Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated! The attention of tens of thousands... well, the skepticism of tens of thousands. "Here we go, its starting!" "Werent they going to cancel it? How come its starting?" "Just a rumor?" "Lets watch the show first; I bet the quality wont be any good!" "Im curiously looking forward to it! Who will be slapping whom in the face?" "Is Lu Xiaobu going to pull another stunt this time?" "Ive got no high hopes!" "Agree with the guy above, The Voice is just a joke!" ... At Shimen TV Station. Yuan Xus production team. With no supervisor around, the staff turned on the TV, ready to take a look at "The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty" that had taken their programs slot. "Its on." "The actual show has started." "Why bother watching this? Theyve taken our slot, and were still going to watch their show?" "Know yourself and know your enemy!" "..." And at this moment. A composed-looking Yuan Xu walked over. Everyone was startled and hurriedly stood up, awkwardly: "Um, Director Yuan, we..." "Lets watch together." Yuan Xu said nothing and just sat down. He was one of those who were there preparing to see a flop. Seeing Yuan Xu, the staff naturally started bad-mouthing "The Voice" to curry favor with him. "This show is definitely going to fail." "Yeah, they had too little preparation time; a show isnt something that money alone can solve." "Exactly! I think itll just be this one episode for them. Once its over, they can change to some other timeslot. The prime time is still ours." Yuan Xu waved his hand dismissively, a sneer playing at his lips, he said sarcastically: "Alright, lets not go too far, after all, we are colleagues." The others internally scoffed C arent we doing this to suit you? From your tone, its obvious you love hearing this! Of course, these were also their genuine thoughts. After all, "The Voice" had impinged upon their interests. "..." Each person voiced their opinions. Just as they finished speaking, the camera had already moved to the live broadcast site! All the lights lit up; the entire stage burst into brightness amidst the cheering of the audience, then the stage lights changed yet again! "I want to fly high into the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun, the world is waiting for me to change it..." "The dreams I want to pursue, never afraid of others seeing them, here I can make them all come true!" "Laugh out loud, shoulder to shoulder with you and me, theres no place where joy cant be unlimited!" "Cast aside the worries, stride forward bravely, I stand in the center of the stage!" Chen Wen! Fang Li! Jia Yi! Sun Wanqi! One bigger star after another, one more awesome than the last! The judges made a stunning entrance with a new song that set the whole place on fire! "I believe I am who I am, I believe in tomorrow, I believe that youth has no horizon, at the sunset beach, on the bustling street, they are the most beautiful paradises in my heart!" Shimen TV Station The office area of Yuan Xus production team suddenly went quiet! They all gulped down their saliva with a gurgling sound. Laymen enjoy the show, experts appreciate the technique. They are experts, and of course, they could see just how awesome "The Voice" really is! Just like that, all their previous predictions were crushed! They call this no preparation?! Damn, this preparation is way too good! Their faces were all burning hot. They got smacked in the face. Especially Yuan Xu. But still, he gritted his teeth and said, "Its just the opening, keep watching." Hearing his words, everyone immediately expressed their agreement. But in their hearts, they sighedDirector Yuan is just being stubborn as a dead duck! ... The reaction of the other viewers was also extremely intense. Not to mention anything else, the opening was amazing! "Holy cow! Is this a hundred-million-dollar stage?! For real, its awesome!" "This stage, these lights! Im sold!" "Lu Xiaobu is still amazing! This stage and sound effects are too fantastic!" "Listen to this song! Its really good!" "This song is so powerful! Its got me a bit pumped up! Who knows whose song this is? I want to download it!" "So far, "The Voice" doesnt seem as bad as they said!" "The opening wasnt bad, lets see if its just an embroidered pillow." The opening song ended! The host came out. "Today, eight contestants have come to our stage. With what kind of singing will they conquer the four judges and make them turn around?" A standard introduction, nothing surprising. "Now, lets take a break for some commercials." Upon hearing the hosts words, the viewers in front of their TVs immediately rolled their eyes. Commercials, always commercials, the most annoying thing about watching TV is the commercials. Many were ready to change the channel. After all, they werent very optimistic about "The Voice" in the first place. Now with the additional annoyance. Naturally, they felt like changing the channel. Of course, what they thought was to change the channel now and change it back later. But in reality, how many of them would actually switch back? And at that moment. Just as their fingers were about to press the remote control. "Uh, thank you to all Lu Groups products for their strong support of our program! After these words from our advertisers, the show officially starts!" the host left the stage. Uh, thats it, the commercial is over. So short! This was arranged by Young Master Bu, saying a nod was as good as a wink. If it wasnt for the fact that it wasnt good to have personal names in advertising, Young Master Bus original intention was to just have his own name suffice. "Pfft!" After the advertisement, all the viewers spat out their drinks. Their only expression was a mix of laughter and helplessness. Which advertiser doesnt want their ads to be as long and detailed as possible? Isnt every talent show advertisement on the market, aside from the name, supposed to come with a couple of catchphrases? Now what? Just all Lu Groups products?! Less than three seconds. You invest so much, easily a hundred million, and in the end, you only get these three seconds?! Lu Xiaobu, arent you awesome already? Youve successfully stopped us from changing the channel! Amidst everyones laughter and helplessness, the first contestant took to the stage! The truly exciting part of the show has begun! Chapter 401 - 399: Keeping You on Tenterhooks [Fifth Update, 28k Bonus - for Votes] Chapter 401: Chapter 399: Keeping You on Tenterhooks [Fifth Update, 28k Bonus Chapter for Votes]The show officially began. Of course, the first to appear was a VCR about the contestant Wu Mei. Its different from the live scene. ... At this moment. Wu Meis school principal, Xue Ruijie, was at home with her boyfriend, eating and watching the show. "This Lu Xiaobu is really unique," Xue Ruijie smiled. "After all this time, its just all Lu Groups products." "Its because hes rich. Have you forgotten hes a spendthrift? He doesnt care about money," her boyfriend laughed. "Thats true, but its much better without the ads!" said Xue Ruijie. Lu Xiaobus non-advertising move still garnered a lot of admiration! After all, not everyone has such courage! They were chatting about this when suddenly, the first contestants VCR for "The Voice" appeared on the screen. "My name is Wu Mei, and I am an elementary school P.E. teacher. From childhood, people have called me Big Voice Wu and Loudspeaker Wu." "Whenever I sing, people tend to avoid me, even finding me annoying. Because no one thinks I can sing." "Today, I want to prove myself on Young Master Bus The Voice stage. I want everyone to know, I can sing. I might not have much else, but I have myself!" The carefully crafted speech matched the song! The VCR ended! Wu Mei took the mic and stepped onto the stage. At that moment. "Wu Mei! Its Teacher Wu!" Xue Ruijie at the TV set suddenly stood up, shocked! "This... This is your schools P.E. teacher, little Wu, isnt it? My goodness! How did he get on The Voice?" Her boyfriend also recognized Wu Mei. "I have no idea!" Xue Ruijie quickly shook her head, hardly believing her eyes. How could this be happening on stage?! At the same time, teachers from the same school as Wu Mei, who were watching "The Voice," were also dumbfounded. "Its Wu Mei!" "It really is Wu Mei!" "Why is Teacher Wu entering a singing competition? You sure its not a sports event?" "Damn! Is there some mistake?! Wu Mei with that horrible voice, singing on stage, is she trying to kill someone?" "Who knows!" "Little Wu is too bold! She actually went? I thought she was joking!" "This, Teacher Wu really isnt afraid of losing face!" Some teachers even started calling each other. "Hello, Teacher Zhao, turn on the TV!" "Im watching, its Teacher Wu!" "Good gracious, whats the situation?" "..." At that moment, many students and their parents were also staring at the TV, dumbstruck by Wu Mei. They all recognized her! ... The TV camera panned to the audience, who appeared indifferent and not particularly excited. Then, the lens focused on a few of the coaches. Sun Wanqi: "Doesnt look too good?" Chen Wen: "Dont know." Restless music tunes came in, guitar and drum beats suddenly exploded! "Am I really alive? No music, no dance, no prayers!" "Am I really alive? No life, no pleasure, no laughter!" Upon hearing this, Principal Xue Ruijie was stunned! Her boyfriend was also shocked, eyes wide open! Including Wu Meis colleagues at school, they were all perplexed at this moment: "This... is this Teacher Wu singing?" The next second. Wu Meis voice erupted! "I want to live, I search for laughter!" "I want to live, I search for glory!" "I want to live, I am the laughter!" "I want to live, I am the glory!" The powerful roar kept hammering at peoples hearts! In front of the TV. "It sounds so good?! Little Wu can actually sing this well?!" Xue Ruijie was excited. "All four coaches turned around!" Her boyfriend also exclaimed. A Chinese teacher who got along quite well with Wu Mei jumped three feet high: "Oh my god! Oh my god!" One of Wu Meis students, with food in his mouth, forgot to chewis this still their teacher? Everyone was freaking out. Wu Mei, these people knew her all too well! She was considered a peculiar flower at school! Singing in the hallways and on the sports field every day, which was simply irritating! And to top it off, she had a stubborn streak. The more you complained about her singing, the worse it becameshe would chase you down just to sing to you. It annoyed so many people! Some even complained to Principal Xue Ruijie. Xue Ruijie had even criticized Wu Mei a few times. But now?! On the stage of "The Voice" hosted by Lu Xiaobu, the same Teacher Wu, whom everyone thought sounded unbearable when singing, had started performing again. Was it unpleasant? No, it was mind-blowingly good! Could the same person sound good one moment and bad the next? Why?! Everyone was puzzled. Actually, the reason lay in their emotions. Their thinking had been fixed; seeing Wu Meis appearance, they couldnt imagine she could sing. Thus, they were predisposed to be annoyed. And as everyone knows, when youre annoyed, everything you hear sounds bad. ... The internet exploded too! "My God!" "That voice, its too damn powerful!" "A PE teacher?" "Lu Xiaobu can find such talent?!" "Do you remember the previous claims? If you arent good-looking, you wont attract people? The The Voice contestants are all unpolished? Their singing skills are not up to scratch? Lu Xiaobu just slapped everyone right in the face at the opening!!" "For the first time, Im attracted not by looks, but purely by the voice!" "The segment where the coaches cant see the faces and can only hear the voices is so brilliantly designed!" "So The Voice is like this, huh!" "Such a slap in the face!" "Yes, Lu Xiaobu has indeed slapped everyones faces!" "Does it have to be so stunning?!" "The first contestant to come out has already set such a high standard?" On the screen, the coaches battle for the contestant had begun, and the fight between Chen Wen and Fang Li, the model couple, had made countless people go nuts again! "HAHAHAHA!" "Im dying of laughter!" "Fang Li is so funny! She actually threatened Chen Wen with her belly!" "This is a real brawl!" "Apart from Lu Xiaobus shows, who else would dare to be this playful?!" "Lu Xiaobu is truly a godly planner!" "..." Good things should be shared, so people started calling their friends and family to watch together. ... The second contestant came out! "A train driver?" "Holy cow! That high note just exploded!" "God, my heart almost stopped just now!" "Sad story, guys, I was wearing headphones!" "Pfft! Are you okay?!" Then came the next contestant. "A housewife?" "Pretty good!" "Not bad at all! Fantastic!" "If not for The Voice, how would I know there were so many talents hidden among the common folk?" "Ah, a coach turned their chair!" "..." Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The fourth one. The fifth one. The seventh one. The audiences excitement rose with each contestant, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the last contestant to take the stage! The climax was here! Simultaneously, it was the segment that the live audience had been most eagerly anticipating. After all, this segment was the one with that. You know what I mean! And this climax was different from the rest. It was meticulously designed! Absolutely jaw-dropping! Guaranteed to whet your appetite! Chapter 402 - 400 Hard Listening [First Update] Chapter 402: Chapter 400 Hard Listening [First Update]The finale has begun. However, what puzzled the audience was that this contestants appearance was different from the others. Because in the contestants VCR, there was no image or face of this contestant, just a very blurry picture. Then the background was a voice-over from the staff: "This is the last contestant, the word unique was made for him! Stay tuned!" This left the audience dumbfounded. Could there be something special about this contestant? Why is it different from the others? Everyones curiosity was instantly piqued! The contestant took the stage. However! The camera still did not show the front. Instead, the camera focused on the mentors. This made the audience even more eager. So, they desperately tried to peek through the gaps in the chairs to look back. But they still couldnt see clearly! They could only see a vague figure and the general color of the clothes. Nothing else could be seen. Mysteriously tantalizing! This made the audience even more uncomfortable! Their curiosity was strung up like a cliffhanger, annoyingly so! They were so irritated they wanted to curse! "What does this mean?" "Whats with this person?" "What is going on here?! I want to see the contestant!" "..." But their protests were futile. The melody began. "Gentle breezes blow time and time again." "I drink to the mountains and rivers as I return in glory." "..." "A lone pavilion amidst the vast sea." "Looking into the distance from where I return." As the voice resonated, the audience instantly immersed themselves in the music, completely enchanted! "Beautiful, this womans voice is so beautiful!" "The best voice today!" "Such an elegant voice!" "Im intoxicated!" "Just by this voice, it must be a beautiful woman!" "Judging by the magnetism and emotion in the voice, it must be a beautiful woman around thirty! Why isnt the camera pointing at her?! Quick, show her!" However. The better the singing, the higher the audiences anticipation grew! Everyone in the audience couldnt wait to see the true face of Lu Mountain! They even wished they could pull out a fifty-meter long sword and kill the person playing with their curiosity! Just at that moment. Chen Wen on TV slapped his thigh and turned around! Finally. The camera followed Chen Wen and shifted to the contestant. The image was clear! The result! "Holy crap!" Just in an instant. Many people screamed in shock, jumping up from their chairs or sofas as if they had touched an electric fence! "Ah! Mommy!" "Oh my god!" "Its a man!" "How is it possible? How could it be a man!" "The voice that almost turned me on, was sung by a man?!" "And whats with that outfit, a construction worker?" This isnt despise or mockery, because under such shocking disparity, no one had time for that! Shock, or even terror, were their only emotions! However, shock aside, the enchanting singing continued! "Forget it, this show is all about oddities, a male singer isnt too unexpected, as long as it sounds good!" "Yeah! Ive got goosebumps all over!" "Sounds great! Awesome! Fantastic!" "I cant believe I was conquered by a man using a female voice, what should I say?!" "All I want to say is, Lu Xiaobu youve won! You really won!" "Yes! Lu Xiaobu won! Lu Xiaobu is awesome! He dazzled me!" "Ive found myself falling in love with this show!" Ning Feiping finished singing. Whether inside the TV or outside, none of the viewers could remain calm! Near Ning Feipings repair shop, a barbecue restaurant. Ning Feipings repair master stared at the TV dumbfounded: "Damn! My apprentice is on TV?!" Someone opposite him was stunned, "Elder Wang, have you drunk too much? This is a singing competition, not a repair contest, how could it be your apprentice?!" "I cant misrecognize my own apprentice!" Elder Wang said anxiously. And at this moment. On the TV, prompted by the judges question, Ning Feiping revealed his profession! The man was stupefied, "Really your apprentice? Elder Wang, did you teach him to sing? And in a female voice?" Elder Wang was also baffled, "I taught nothing of that sort! I taught him to repair vehicles!" ... Other viewers were also baffled. "Eh, after seeing a gym teacher, a train driver, a housewife, now we have a bicycle repairman?!" "Fine, I give up, is giving up not enough?!" "How can a mechanic sing so well!" "No matter what he does, he sings freaking wonderfully!" "Yeah, I was utterly conquered!" "This show is going to be a hit!" "Im really impressed by Lu Xiaobu!" "This is the most surprising show Ive seen this year!" "This is truly my ideal singing competition!" "For those who wanted to laugh at Lu Xiaobu, those who boycotted Lu Xiaobu and Heavenly Dynastys Good Voice, I wonder what their expressions are now!" "Well, thats not certain, the ratings are still unknown!" ... Lu Xiaobu watched the whole days competition and was tired, so any celebration was postponed. Back home. "Xiaobu, that Wu Mei sang so well!" Lu Hongbin said excitedly, "It got my blood boiling!" "But it was Ning Feiping who sang the best, I truly didnt guess that Ning Feiping was a boy! It really shocked me!" Lu Wenhuo protested from the side. "What are you talking about? Ning Feipings reversal caught a lot of attention, but purely from the impact of the voice, I think Wu Mei was better! The courage in her voice, the power, its irreplaceable!" Lu Hongbin immediately retorted. "People not flipping roles also sing well anyway. I was completely mesmerized!" Lu Wenhuo continued to protest. The two brothers argued joyfully. Lu Xiaobu watched them, grinning happily from the side. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If the elder and second brothers argued, it meant they really got into it, watching intensely and happily, otherwise, they wouldnt be arguing over their favorite contestants. What was his purpose in doing Good Voice? Wasnt it just for fun and to scoop some benefits from the system? Now that his elder and second brothers were so happy, he was too! "Cough cough." Lus father came over and whispered to Lu Xiaobu, "Xiaobu, can you get me Jia Yis autograph?" "Oh?!" Lu Xiaobu said meaningfully. "Go on, what are you thinking about?!" Lus father blushed, rare for an old man: "Doesnt everyone have a favorite celebrity? Back in our day, Jia Yi was the hottest." "I didnt say anything." Lu Xiaobu chuckled, but the laughter hinted at something else. "You rascal, Ill beat you." Lus father joked, "Daring to tease your old man!" Lu Xiaobu quickly pretended to run away. "But speaking of which, Xiaobu, what do you think the ratings will be? After all, youve made your claim!" Lus father asked again. "Outperforming them shouldnt be a problem," Lu Xiaobu shrugged, "Anyway, we should find out tomorrow." Chapter 403 - 401 Exorbitant Price?【Second Update】 Chapter 403: Chapter 401 Exorbitant Price?Second UpdateLu Xiaobu was chatting at home. Liang Lan walked in with a mobile phone: "Young Master Bu, Director Nie is calling to inquire about the exclusive broadcasting rights for online videos. What do you think..." "Ill take it." Lu Xiaobu picked up the phone. Director Nie had helped a lot and also shouldered a lot of blame. A chat was deserved. Lu Xiaobu: "Hello, Director Nie, this is Lu Xiaobu." "Hello, Young Master Lu." Director Nie was a bit happy to hear Lu Xiaobu answer the phone personally. Yes, he still had some clout. However, his title had long changed from the formal Mr. Lu to the more intimate and respectful Young Master Lu. It wasnt because of power, but because of talent. "Alright, what about the video rights?" Lu Xiaobu got straight to the point. "Its about several mainstream video websites, all wanting the exclusive broadcasting rights to our network, one of them even offered a sky-high price." Director Nie also got back to business, speaking excitedly. "Sky-high? Ten billion?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Pfft!" Director Nie almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. True to Young Master Bus style, his opening bid was ten billion! He hurriedly explained: "Young Master Bu, the sky-high price you mention and ours might not be the same. The sky-high price I mentioned refers to the highest price currently in the variety show circle, a whole eighty million!" Director Nie couldnt help but take a deep breath when he mentioned this figure. Eighty million, thats eighty million! Maybe you dont have a concept of eighty million. Heres the thing, currently at Shimen TV Station, selling the exclusive rights for all variety and talk shows airing continuously for twenty-four hours a week wouldnt even make eighty million! That is to say, one "Good Voice" could surpass dozens of their Shimen TV Stations programs. Of course, part of this was also because of the low ratings of their Shimen TV Station. But even within the entire variety circle, this price was unique and record-breaking. "Eighty million? That sounds a little low! How much did I spend on the show? Although I didnt do it for the money, this figure is a bit excessive," Lu Xiaobu said calmly. "Well... yes, thats also true!" Director Nie realized. He had been so excited that he forgot the costs. Young Master Lu had spent three to four billion, and now eighty million seemed just too little to take it all. Even though its only online rights, it still wasnt enough. So, he thought for a moment and then said: "Then Young Master Lu, name your price, Ill go talk to them." Lu Xiaobu looked at Liang Lan, Liang Lan thought for a moment, then signaled a number. "Alright, not asking for much, just 1.5 billion," Lu Xiaobu said, following the number Liang Lan suggested. "Ah!?" Director Nie felt like he had been hit on the head with a hammer. He initially thought that rounding it to a neat billion would suffice. Now it suddenly jumped to 1.5 billion, almost twice the price?! Well! "No problem, tell them if they want it, they want it, if not, Ill just keep it on my Juechen platform," Lu Xiaobu said, yawning. "Okay, then Ill go negotiate." Director Nie gave a wry smile; there was no other choice. Young Master Lu had that kind of confidence. Just after hanging up the phone, the mobile phone rang again. Lu Xiaobu casually answered: "Hello." "Young Master Bu, this is Zhang Feng." Zhang Feng spoke respectfully, "I hope Im not disturbing your rest." He had made a preliminary call earlier and found that the line was busy, which gave him the confidence to call. Otherwise, he wouldnt dare disturb Lu Xiaobu at this time. "Whats up? Hurry up, Im sleepy." Lu Xiaobu said with a touch of impatience. "Okay, Young Master Bu, someone wants our special ad. They dont ask for much, not even a tagline. Just a name will do!" Zhang Feng said crisply. S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This is the most helpless advertiser. At the beginning, they begged to have their advertisements placed, now they are begging a second time. Not only are their requests getting lower, but their prices are getting higher. "Theres no space, go wherever you want. Im too lazy to even advertise myself." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "Are you taking bribes for being so enthusiastic!?" "No, no, really not, its just the stations target." Zhang Feng hurried to explain. With Young Master Bu by his side, what benefits do they need? "Alright, let it be." Lu Xiaobu just casually asked. "And, Young Master Bu, they asked if they could have an ad before the start of the show." Zhang Feng thought for a moment and dropped the jargon: "Like a reminder ad that The Voice is about to start." "Um..." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, "Isnt that something for your station to decide?" "Thats true, but we still need your approval," Zhang Feng smiled. Whenever it involves The Voice, how can they be careless? "Fine, you handle it." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, not wanting to make them continually operate at a loss. Even though they dont actually incur any losses. "Alright, thanks Young Master Bu and oh, theres one more thingYuan Xu got fired," Zhang Feng thanked. "Yuan Xu? Whos that?" Lu Xiaobu was puzzled. "That person who smeared you online, hes been fired. The station manager felt awkward about telling you, but I thought you should know," Zhang Feng explained. "Okay, I got it." Lu Xiaobu yawned, "Thats it, Im sleepy." "Alright, Young Master Bu, good night!" Zhang Feng hung up the phone. ... In a rented apartment. "Good boy, you really have a knack!" Ning Feipings mechanic master, Elder Wang, excitedly squeezed Ning Feipings shoulder. "Master, I dont want to fix cars anymore, is that alright?" Ning Feiping scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. "If you wanted to fix cars, I wouldnt let you!" Elder Wang laughed, "Just focus on singing your songs! Having you as a disciple, I can brag for a lifetime!" For some reason, Ning Feipings eyes reddened: "Master!" ... At Wu Meis home. Wu Mei got a call, then made several calls, suddenly screaming, "Dad! Mom!!" "Whats wrong? Whats wrong?" Her parents hurried over. "I... I... they... a talent agency wants to sign me! They want me as a recording artist!" Wu Mei was too excited to speak. "What?!" Wu Meis mother exclaimed. Wu Meis father was also ecstatic, "Really? Really?" "Yes, its real! Its Chen Wens agency that wants to sign me, Ive confirmed it with Teacher Chen Wen himself! He recommended me to the agency!" Wu Mei was overjoyed. "Signing?" Wu Meis mother said, hugging her daughter, "Oh my! My daughter is going to be a singer!" Wu Meis father was a bit more composed, though his hands shaking as he lit a cigarette, "So, will you sign?" "I want to ask Young Master Bu first, what do you think, mom and dad?" Wu Mei was very anxious, feeling uncertain. "Yes, yes, thats right, you must ask Young Master Bu," her father firmly said, "Young Master Bu gave you this opportunity, you must do it!" ... Many peoples fate changed because of The Voice! Many peoples hearts raced because of The Voice! Tonight, this night is destined to belong only to Heavenly Dynastys The Voice! Countless people screaming for The Voice! Countless people going crazy for The Voice! Yep, Lu Xiaobu slept soundly. Chapter 404 - 402: It Really Exploded [3rd Update, Extra for Narcolepsy] Chapter 404: Chapter 402: It Really Exploded [3rd Update, Extra for Narcolepsy]The next day. Oh, actually it wasnt the next daythose people didnt sleep all night. So at this moment, the newspapers are all over with reports about "The Voice". "Shimen TV Stations Desperate Counter-Attack!" "The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty Sweeps the Nation!" "Lu Xiaobus Divine Planning Descends upon the Variety Show Realm" "What Are the Ratings? Can the Professionals Pull Off a Comeback from the Brink?" "The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty: A Feast of Music!" "Praises All Around for The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty" Of course, those were the compliments. There were criticisms too. Like, sensationalism! Ratings arent out yet, cant draw conclusions! Lu Xiaobu buying his way with money. And so on and so forth. Enough said, lets not dwell on those unhappy things. As for online. Since last night, topics about "The Voice" havent ceased at all. Even at three or four in the morning, there were people online discussing, talking about the show, the contestants, and Lu Xiaobus extravagant moves. There were all sorts of comments, not very unified. And starting this morning, the topic suddenly focused onWhat are the ratings for "The Voice"? "Hasnt it come out yet?" "So slow!" "Ive already watched the replay of last nights The Voice three times!" "Ive been waiting since night, and there is still no flash report!" "Its already nine oclock, havent the staff woken up yet, hurry up, get up and tally it, the whole nation is waiting!" "Quick quick quick!" "Sweat, its not a matter of getting up, the calculation of the ratings is quite complex, it involves synthesizing lots of data to produce the most accurate ratings." "So looking forward to it!" "Im anxious!" "Same here, really want to know how much it is!" "Not sure if The Voice can take down those shows that were introduced from Korea!" "Prepare yourselves mentally, besides famous programs imported from abroad, or hit shows in their second or third seasons, generally the first episode of a new show wont rate very high. Look at Hot Voice, its first episode was just 0.7%, and only gradually climbed after. Of course, The Voice is different, so lets be conservative0.9%, I guess!" "The analysis above makes sense." sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Agree, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Rather than be disappointed, why not lower the expectations for a pleasant surprise!" "An initial 0.9%? Thats already mind-blowing! It would completely crush Hot Voice, not to mention other shows!" "No no no, I disagree, The Voice doesnt follow the usual path, and its ratings definitely wont either, I feel its around 1%." "1%? Can it be done?" "Its doubtful, but not impossible, anythings possible, after all, thats Lu Xiaobu!" "Im also optimistic about The Voice! Lu Xiaobu is truly awesome!" "Big love for Lu Xiaobu! Big love for The Voice! This is the real singing show! This is a work made with genuine sincerity! Thumbs up for Lu Xiaobu!" Inside Shimen TV Station, they also made a prediction1.2%. Quite high! The outside world said theyve gone mad! ... Just before ten oclock, a Weibo poll was suddenly launched by the official Weibo, asking people to predict the ratings for "The Voice"! There were five voting options. One: Ratings below 0.5%. Two: Ratings between 0.5% - 0.8%. Three: Ratings between 0.8% - 1.0%. Four: Ratings between 1.0% - 1.2%. Five: Ratings between 1.2% - 1.5%. Netizens rushed to vote, all eagerly participating! "Choose four!" "Sweat, isnt four too high?" "Hmm, the third option is the most likely!" "I choose five!" "Damn, five is impossible!" "Five... thats way too high!" "Cough cough, stay calm, stay calm, I also like The Voice, but the fifth option is a bit far-fetched. Those imported international hit shows, and its not their first episode, only reached 1.3%, 1.4%. Lets stay rational!" "Cut it out! Thats because youre unaware of how much of a bug Lu Xiaobu is!" "Support! Choose five, no explanation!" "Uh, I also hope The Voice can beat domestic variety shows, even international ones. But this is its first episode, we can wait for what comes later, wait for the finale of The Voice, that time well confront them at the Pinnacle of the Forbidden City! Comparing who is better!" "Wait for so many more episodes?" "We must resolve them in the first episode!" "Exactly, lets do it! Who cares about the rest!" "Young Master Bu said, When spring comes, I wont be the first to speak, should any bug dare to chirp, theyll be beaten with no negotiation!" Hmm, just listen to that attitude, that temperament, you can tell theyre Lu Xiaobus fans. "Five!" "Im also choosing five!" "Thats right, we cant lose in momentum! Vote for the fifth option!" "Support Lu Xiaobu! Beat up the whole world!" "Crush those bugs!" "..." The character of Lu Xiaobus fans has infected a portion of people, leading them all to choose the seemingly most improbable option1.2%-1.5%. The results came out. The respective percentages for the four options were 6%, 9%, 18%, 42%, 25%. Yes, more people still placed their bets on the fourth TV ratings prediction: 1.0%-1.2%, at 42%. This shows that everyone is really looking forward to "The Voice." But that fifth option with 25% is kind of scary! ... Zhang Feng and Elder Wang from Shimen TV Station, including the station managers, nodded in approval, it was close to their predictions. However, other peers in the industry werent as optimistic. "The Hot Voice" column team. "The TV ratings arent out yet?" "Not yet." "Tsk tsk, have you seen the online voting?" "Whats there to see? A bunch of amateurs, thinking "The Voice" could really surpass us?" "Indeed theyre amateurs, but its fun to watch the joke unfold! Do you know that 25% picked 1.2%-1.5%? Its hilarious." ... The team responsible for importing Japanese programs, which currently lead in TV ratings. "I just laugh, think making a show is all about money? Then why bother importing at all!" "1.2%? If Lu Xiaobu gets 0.8%, he should count his blessings!" "Sigh, laymen are just laymen, they only watch for the excitement." "Yeah, if its no good, its no good!" ... Yuan Xu, who was fired. "Rubbish, its just a gimmick. Do they really think they can beat the whole world?! Should any bug dare to chirp - are they themselves not the bugs?!" He was fired, and he was furious. Many of his friends came to support him. "Right, right, its trash!" "Cant go higher than 0.6%!" ... Regardless of these peoples emotions or what they predicted. But, just the same, everyone was paying attention to "The Voices" TV ratings. And just after 12 oclock. Suddenly! The TV ratings were released! "Its out!" "Damn, finally!" "Whats going on? How much is The Voice?" Countless people swarmed in! Countless industry insiders were watching! But, when they saw the TV ratings data... "Go to hell!" Everyone swore! Staring at the screen, the TV ratings left everyone in utter disbelief! "Is this real?!" "What kind of joke is this?!" "Could they have counted wrong?!" "Holy sh*t, did Lu Xiaobu really beat them up?!" "I cant even believe what Im seeing!" "..." Their shock isnt without reason! Because! The data displayed was simply shocking! "The Heavenly Dynastys The Voice" first episode TV ratings2.07%!!! It broke 2%!!! Chapter 405 - 403: Overlooking the World [4th Update for Narcolepsy] Chapter 405: Chapter 403: Overlooking the World [4th Update for Narcolepsy]Seeing this ratings. The "Hot Voice" show team. Silence. Dead silence. This is an astonishing shock that leaves one speechless! ... Another show team. "Who can tell me this is wrong?! How on earth could it be freaking 2.07%?" A leader slammed the table, bellowing in disbelief. No one spoke. And no one could answer the leaders question. Theres no mistake, its impossible to be wrong, this rating is real, really 2.07%! ... The team that bought the Japan rights. The office area is now in total chaos, completely in disorder! "Whats going on? What the heck is going on?" "Our ratings... have been, been surpassed by The Voice!?" "Oh my God!" "There must be a mistake somewhere!" "Why is this happening!" "Damn! Has everyone gone mad? How could The Voice be this high!" "..." Shimen TV Station. Director Nie rushed over in a panic: "Is it out? Has it come out?" No one responded, no one spoke. "Will you guys speak up, Zhang Feng? Elder Wang?" Director Nie, sweating with anxiety, asked, "Could it be a flop?!" He snatched the form out of Zhang Fengs hands: "Holy cow! 2.07%!!!!" He looked at the data, felt dizzy, leaned back, and fell silent! He was stunned into idiocy! Yes, like Zhang Feng and Elder Wang, they were all stunned into idiocy! ... Inside Lu Group. "Is it out?" "Its out!" "How much!?" "2.07%!" "Damn, for real? That high?! Unbelievably freaking incredible!" "Hahahaha, who cares! Young Master Bu is awesome! Lets go, lets go for barbecue!" "Together! Young Master Bu is awesome!" "..." The industry was shaken! The entire nation was also astounded! "The Voice" ratings top the variety show industry... Number one in the nation for the same time slot! Number one in the nation for the week! Number one in the nation for the month! Number one in the nation for the year!! And moreover, this is just the first episodes ratings! Countless viewers didnt know how to express their feelings. Countless industry insiders also didnt know how to express their astonishment. They only felt as if ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million "grass mud horses" were galloping across their minds, galloping back, and then galloping across again! Now many people think back on the topic of predicting "The Voice" ratings that was launched, and its simply a huge joke! What were those options? Below 0.5%? 0.5%-0.8%? 0.8%-1.0%? 1.0%-1.2%? 1.2%-1.5%? The publics votes were void, not a single person guessed "The Voice"s ratings correctly. Because, because "The Voice"s ratings freaking didnt appear in any of these five options at all! The options that surpassed 1.5% ratings werent freaking given! Why wasnt there such an option? Why wasnt there an option above 1.5%? It wasnt a mistake by the officials who initiated the topic. Its because no one ever believed that the premiere ratings of a variety show could possibly exceed 1.5%! Not to mention exceeding this rating, even reaching 1.5% was thought impossible by everyone! Therefore, the initiators of the topic never prepared for this option, nor did they ever consider this possibility. The history of variety shows in recent years told them it was impossible and years of experience in the television industry also told them it was impossible! But now, "The Voice" has done it! In a market where the average variety show ratings are mere decimals of a percent, Lu Xiaobu has achieved a 2% viewership rate! All doubters have been silenced! All scoffers have been quieted! They no longer had any right to point fingers at "The Voice" or Lu Xiaobu! ... The media went crazy! "Lu Xiaobu: A Man Who Created a Miracle!" "The Voices Rating Explosion! A Dawn for Domestic Variety Shows!" "The Voice Tops Variety Show Ratings! Takes Number One Nationwide!" "How Did The Voice Achieve Over 2% Ratings? A Miracle in the Making?"

"A Hero in Television, A Legend in Variety Shows, Please Applaud for The Voice, Please Applaud for Lu Xiaobu!" "..." On the internet at this moment. When you open the Weibo topic leaderboard, four out of the top ten Weibo posts are about "The Voice"! Click on any forum, and in some entertainment sections, one out of every three posts is about "The Voice"! Naturally, the name Lu Xiaobu has been mentioned numerous times by netizens and the media! Unprecedented hot discussion! Unprecedented popularity! You all know the term phenomenal. Phenomenal variety show, this title is the highest affirmation for a variety segment, and also the highest honor. And there are two criteria for determining whether a variety show is phenomenal. First is the influence of the show, second is the viewership rate. Normally, it takes some time for a variety show to prove itself as phenomenal. After all, viewership rates need to be solidified step by step, and popularity has to be accumulated bit by bit. Only when a show has built up its viewership and public attention to a certain level is it recognized within the industry as phenomenal. But "The Voice" doesnt need it. It no longer requires the settling of time nor to see future performances. It has firmly established its position with just the first episode! An absolute phenomenal variety show! All industry insiders, even if they dislike it, must admit, cannot deny, and dare not deny! After all. If a show that dominates the national variety program ratings on its premiere cannot be called phenomenal, then what show dares to claim the title!? Netizens are also buzzing with discussion! "Lu Xiaobu is awesome!" "In the variety world, who can stop The Voice now?" "Those doubters from TV stations and within the industry, I wonder where they are now, none of them has shown their face! Come out, lets have a chat!" "Of course, they wont come out." "Who dares to come out now, their faces have been smacked blue!" "2.07% viewership rate! Its not just blue, I guess their teeth have been knocked out! They are busy looking for their teeth on the ground!" "Now looking back at Lu Xiaobus poem, doesnt it seem like hes standing at the peak telling those who doubted him, do you still dare make a sound?!" "Hahaha, youre right, now that you mention it, it does feel like that!" ... This poem has once again caught everyones attention. It started to be wildly shared. People from Shimen TV Station shared it. Fans of Chen Wen and Fang Li shared it. Fans of Grandma Jia Yi shared it. Fans of Sun Wanqi shared it. The official Weibo of "The Voice" shared it. Ten thousand! Thirty thousand! Fifty thousand! One hundred thousand! The number of shares skyrocketed and the poem surged to the top Weibo topic, claiming the headlines with an unstoppable force that destroys gods and slaughters Buddhas! "Sitting alone by the pond like a tiger, nurturing my spirit beneath the shade of green trees." "Come spring, I wont be the first to speak, which insect dares to make a noise." A poem that intimidates the whole scene! Arent these top-ranked verses just like Lu Xiaobu standing at the peak, overlooking everyone? At the same time, its like a slap in the face to those who doubted him. Painfully hot! Chapter 407 - 405: Lin Feng’s Once-in-a-Century State [First Update] Chapter 407: Chapter 405: Lin Fengs Once-in-a-Century State [First Update]Lu Xiaobu followed the address Lin Feng had sent him. This address was neither Shimen nor Imperial, but Magic City, a place both of them were unfamiliar with. This puzzled Xiaobu. Was Lin Feng out of his mind, running off to Magic City to clear a game level? Everybody knows that the people from Imperial and Magic City are quite competitive with each other on certain matters. This isnt looking for trouble, this is a fact! And now, Lin Feng, one of the four young masters of Imperial, actually went to Magic City. What is he up to? So, Xiaobu went there with an attitude of watching a good show. Yeah, itd be best if a fight broke out, he would cheer on Han 666! On the plane. Xiaobu chatted with the system. Well, okay, to be honest, he was after some benefits. "What about my stuff?" Xiaobu asked: "The Good Voice operation should be up and running now, right?" "All set." The system didnt dilly-dally: "Picked out especially for you, an energy-charging protective shield." "Whats that?" Xiaobu was puzzled. "Its something similar to the Dragon Capturing Hand. The more energy you charge into the Dragon Capturing Hand, the more powerful it gets, while this protective shield becomes stronger the more energy its charged with!" The system explained. "Bullshit, are you trying to fool me?" Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said: "In a real emergency, by the time I finish charging, Ill have died hundreds of times over." He knew all too well about the charging speed of the Dragon Capturing Hand. "Its different, how could I possibly scam you?" The system quickly explained: "This energy-charging protective shield is cumulative. That is to say, you can charge it with several hundred million now and save it for later use." "That does sound feasible." Xiaobu stroked his chin. Thinking that way, it actually seemed pretty good. Charging a bit when he had nothing urgent to do, so when the time comes, he wouldnt need to charge again. Then he continued asking: "What about the protective abilities? Is it equivalent to the Dragon Capturing Hand? Can a ten-million protection shield withstand a ten-million Dragon Capturing Hand?" "This... Im afraid not." The system explained: "You see, the Dragon Capturing Hand is an attack after all, focusing on a single point, at most, a plane. But the protective shield? It offers all-around protection. The strength from a single point is dispersed over the whole body, so how much strength can there be. You will probably have to think in terms of a hundredfold!" "That makes sense." Xiaobu nodded his head in agreement, he wasnt the type to make unreasonable troubles, so he understood. The system meant to say that a one-million Dragon Capturing Hand might likely require a hundred-million protective shield to withstand it. Although it sounded terrifying. Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Xiaobu also knew the advantage of the protective shield was that it could be accumulated. This could make up for all its weaknesses. "Fine, just give it to me," Xiaobu said to the system. "Alrighty." The system transferred the energy-charging protective shield to Xiaobu. Xiaobu thought about it, and the protective shield interface appeared. Similar to the Dragon Capturing Hand. Looking at the input amount column, Xiaobu glanced at the amount he squandered, thought for a moment, and input fifty billion into it. Last time he squandered sixty billion at the Iron Cavalrys street stall sale, and after that, he didnt spend much. So, fifty billion was still manageable for him. And, he didnt feel the pinch. After all, you must have standing power to output! Watching the slowly progressing charging bar, Xiaobu stopped paying attention to it. He was just looking forward to seeing Lin Feng and the people from Magic City clash. However. When he arrived at the scene and saw Lin Feng, the corner of his mouth twitched. "What on earth are you doing, whats with the grand spectacle?" Do you know what Lin Feng looked like now? He was wearing clothes worth hundreds of thousands per piece, with a handmade Cuban cigar in hand. But he was squatting at the entrance of a Starbucks, puffing away, with irritation written all over his face. Looks like he couldnt shake off the bad habits he learned from Xiaobu! And the Starbucks employees behind him were all baffled. "Youre here, lend me a few million first." Lin Feng lit up with joy upon seeing Lu Xiaobu, surprised and delighted. "Here. The PIN is six sixes!" Lu Xiaobu casually took out a card, then continued to ask, "What did you do to be short of money?" "Just had a coffee." Lin Fengs face turned red, feeling embarrassed! "Pfft!" Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but burst into laughter. Can you believe it? One of the prestigious Four Young Masters of Imperial is broke because of a Starbucks coffee! "Get out of here!" Lin Feng, face flushed, turned to go inside and pay. The Starbucks owner hurriedly waved his hand: "I said its not necessary, really, no need." He wasnt blind; he could obviously tell that any single item on this dignitary was worth more than his entire caf. Why would he really make things difficult for him over a cup of coffee? Its just that this person kept insisting on giving him money, which is why they ended up in this situation. "Take it. If I was stealing your money, then Id owe you big time." Lin Feng placed the card directly on the owners table, letting him charge it. "Alright then." The owner, helpless, could only swipe the card. Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction: "Its inconvenient today, Ill make it up to you another day." He wouldnt really owe the owner money. Otherwise, for Lin Feng to actually owe money, when it came time to pay back, it wouldnt be with money but with favors. However, even so, the owner did not show any impatience towards him and even lent him a phone to make a call, which was already a favor in itself. He quietly took note, planning to repay him in the future. Thats the difference; Lin Feng wasnt willing to owe money for a cup of coffee, but with Lu Xiaobu, he could easily ask for several million. This reflects the status Lu Xiaobu holds in his heart. The card transaction was completed. Lin Feng walked out of Starbucks. "What exactly happened to you? Why are you in such a mess?" Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but laugh again. "Lets talk in your car." Lin Feng rolled his eyes and headed straight for Lu Xiaobus car. It was an RV arranged by Liang Lan, fully equipped with all the necessities. Once in the car. Lin Feng took a cigar and red wine from Liang Lan, took a puff, and the shadow on his face seemed to lighten considerably. "Now you can talk, right?" Lu Xiaobu said with a smile. "Hey, its just some annoying family stuff. You know why I havent contacted you for so long? I went abroad. I thought it was just for a trip, but it turned out to be for an arranged marriage. Damn, I still wanted to enjoy life for a couple more years, so I just ran back here." Lin Feng sipped the wine: "Lafite, good vintage." Lu Xiaobu obviously held a high place in Lin Fengs heart. You could imagine what kind of person he was. Such an act of sneaking away is indeed something he would do. Of course, Lu Xiaobu had an undeniable influence on this. Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldnt be squatting outside Starbucks, carelessly smoking a cigar. "Sneaking back?" Lu Xiaobu seemed to understand. "Yeah, I snuck back." Lin Feng said with a carefree smile: "I spent all the cash I had on me, couldnt use my cards, nor contact anyone I know, or my father would find out where I am. Had no choice but to call you. After all, they wont trace it to you." "Alright, fine." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "Where do you want to go? Shimen, or Imperial?" "Dont go, just hang out in Magic City for a couple of days first," Lin Feng waved his hand and said. "Ok, Ill hang out with you for a couple of days." Lu Xiaobu had nothing else to do, so he agreed. As for the matter of money, neither of them mentioned it. That sort of thing would lose its meaning if brought up between them. "Oh right, theres one more thing." Suddenly, Lin Feng sat up straight, appearing very serious! Chapter 408 - 406: Come, Let Me Teach You [2 Updates] Chapter 408: Chapter 406: Come, Let Me Teach You [2 Updates]"Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Lin Feng and asked. "Nothing much, just that these days, you have to live like an ordinary person just like me, otherwise you will definitely be noticed." Lin Feng said seriously, "After all, the trace of my plane ticket is still trackable, and if we are too high-profile, we will definitely be discovered." "Hold on a second." Lu Xiaobu quickly interrupted: "What did you say? Live like you?!" "Yeah! I was just like an ordinary person, going to Starbucks for a coffee." Lin Feng continued nodding. "Are you misunderstanding something about ordinary people? Youre wearing clothes worth hundreds of thousands, smoking Cuban handmade cigars, and you tell me youre an ordinary person? Are you insane?!" Lu Xiaobu said angrily. "Uh..." Lin Feng was stunned, looked down at his clothes, and thought for a moment, "Hmm, might be, I was wondering why so many people were staring at me, I thought I looked handsome." "Handsome my ass." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "Are you as handsome as me?" "Definitely handsomer than you for sure!" Lin Feng instantly jumped up, almost hitting his head. "Get lost." Lu Xiaobu cursed. He had no good words for this guy who constantly threatened his family. "So what do we do? Weve never lived as ordinary people, we dont even know what ordinary people are like." Lin Feng said somewhat distressed. "Hold on, thats you, not me, thank you." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "When I was an ordinary person, you hadnt even met me." "Stop talking nonsense, okay? Do you think I dont know you?" Lin Feng speechless, "You spoiled brat, your childhood was even better than mine." "I wasnt talking about my childhood." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "Forget it, I cant be bothered to explain to you, just listen to me." He was referring to the time on Earth. "Okay, since its just for fun, Ill listen to you." Lin Feng expressed no objections. "Alright, Sister Lan, Zhang Meng, and Li Jin, follow us discreetly in the car, give me some cash, and also a card. Im going to show our dear Lin Young Master what ordinary life is like." Lu Xiaobu arranged. "This... Young Master." Liang Lan smiled wryly, wanting to say something. Her feelings were similar to Lin Fengs. She didnt believe that Young Master Bu, who had been spoiled from childhood, knew what an ordinary life was. To speak disrespectfully, havent you seen how Young Master Bu, under their care, was almost unable to live independently? "Just listen." Lu Xiaobu didnt want to explain too much. Anyway, he now had an energy shield; as long as the danger wasnt too great, he could play carefreely. "Alright then!" Liang Lan reluctantly agreed. But then, she turned around and gave Zhang Meng and Li Jin a stern lookif Young Master loses even a single hair, you guys handle it! sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhang Meng and Li Jin also seriously nodded their heads. Actually, they previously had no hierarchical distinction, Liang Lan was slightly overdoing it. But now it was all for the Young Master, and everyone could understand! ... Lu Xiaobu got out of the camper van, leading a bewildered Lin Feng towards the shopping mall. This was a regular mall, not some exclusive boutique. The clothes sold here were also ordinary clothes, a couple of hundred per piece. As soon as the two walked in, they attracted eighty percent of the attention. Especially from the women. "Quick look, quick look, two handsome guys!" "Damn, just looking at them, I dont even dare to go up and talk to them." "Their aura is too strong!" "Especially that one who looks a bit more mature, his eyes are too proud!" "Yes, compared to him, the younger handsome guy next to him looks much gentler." "Do you recognize their clothes? They dont look ordinary to me!" "I dont know, Ive never seen those kinds of clothes, no branded logos on them either!" "..." Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng completely ignored those girls who wanted to approach and flirt but were too intimidated. Its not that theyre arrogant. Its just that their daily lives have destined them to not be the type of people who stop in their tracks when they see a woman. If they just wanted a physical release, they could easily find it anywhere! Lu Xiaobu picked out a rather ordinary-looking shop. "Go change into these two pieces of clothing." Lu Xiaobu picked out two pairs of jeans and two thin blue trench coats, handing one set to Lin Feng. "This?" Lin Feng frowned at the clothes, which were obviously mass-produced in a garment factory, looking quite ordinary. "Hurry up." Lu Xiaobu said impatiently, and he picked one for himself and went to the fitting room to change. "Alright then." Lin Feng felt helpless, but since Lu Xiaobu had changed, he would change too. After all, he had agreed to follow Lu Xiaobus lead. Soon, they had changed clothes. Clothes make the man, just as saddles make the horse. Once they changed, their class seemed to drop instantly. Yes, much more ordinary. And much more approachable. Of course, their handsomeness couldnt be concealed, just like Elder Feng, cough cough! "Look, now we look like ordinary people," Lu Xiaobu said with a smile. "This is uncomfortable! It doesnt fit well at all." Lin Feng twisted his body, feeling uncomfortable. He was used to wearing custom-made clothes, tailored to his body and even his skin traits. He had never worn mass-produced clothing before. "Why so much nonsense?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "Or you can go back to being your old self as the young master, and we can stop hanging out." "I didnt say anything," Lin Feng said impatiently: "Lets go, where to next?" "Next stop? Lets go eat! I just got up and came here, only had some pastries on the plane, and Im still hungry." Lu Xiaobu paid as he spoke. "Sure, lets go." Lin Feng had no objections. As they walked out of the store, the girls nearby suddenly had their eyes gleam. Without the enhancement of their previous clothes, Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng looked much more approachable. It also stirred up their hearts a bit. "Handsome guy, wondering if you have some time?" A pretty womanQiao Yu, pushed away the men trying to chat her up and approached with a radiant smile. Instantly, those men who were unsuccessful in their attempts showed envy. They were rejected, but the girl they tried to flirt with was now flirting with someone else. That mix of jealousy and envy was indescribable. However! "Get lost!" Lin Feng frowned and snapped, "Who allowed you to come close to me!" Wearing ill-fitting clothes was already making him uncomfortable. Now someone had the audacity to approach him randomly? How could he tolerate that? Its not about looking down on people, but its just a normal reaction for him! Many wealthy people felt privileged just to speak to him, let alone get close. Thats just audacious! "Me!" Qiao Yus nose turned askew from anger upon hearing Lin Fengs words. She was always the one rejecting others, when had she ever been rejected! And in such a rude manner? That phrase, except for having more words than scram, whats the difference?! This sparked resentment in her heart! However, the thoughts of Qiao Yu obviously werent a concern to Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng. The two just left the store. While Qiao Yu watched their backs with resentment twinkling in her eyes, Suddenly, an exclamation came from a nearby clothing store. As if someone had touched a live wire. Chapter 409 - 407 Truly Fragrant [3rd Update] Chapter 409: Chapter 407 Truly Fragrant [3rd Update]"My goodness! Quick! Go bring them back!" The clothing store manager urgently instructed the staff. Upon hearing the managers voice, the customers nearby instantly turned to look. Especially Qiao Yu, who was visibly impatient: "Whats the fuss?! They didnt pay you, did they?" "It would be better if they didnt pay." The manager said with a collapsed expression: "But they left something behind." "Left something behind?" Qiao Yus brows furrowed immediately. This manager must be crazy. If they left something, then let it be. Just wait for them to come back and get it, right? And what about that comment it would be better if they didnt pay? What does that mean? Curious, Qiao Yu walked into the clothing store: "What exactly is it?" Not just him, other customers also became curious. "This!" The manager hesitated, unsure whether to speak, but seeing more and more people gathering, she had no choice but to say: "I can tell you and I can show you, but please do not touch it, okay?" "What is it? So mysterious?" The customers rolled their eyes. What era are we living in that things are still so secretive. Still, seeing the managers firm stance, they could only agree. Seeing everyones agreement, the manager walked to the changing room door where Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng had been earlier and opened the door. Instantly, two piles of clothes appeared before everyones eyes. "Psh! We thought it was something else! Its just clothes!" "Making a big deal out of nothing!" "All secretive, saying you can look but cant touch." "..." The customers were speechless. "This... is high couture?" Only Qiao Yu, whose pupils dilated, recognized it. "High couture?" Other customers were puzzled. "High couture is short for high-end custom clothing, this type of custom clothing from fabric to style and design is all tailored according to the clients needs, and is absolutely unique, with no chance of outfit clashing!" Qiao Yu muttered to himself: "I once saw it at a high-end party, the price of this kind of clothing starts at a minimum of a hundred thousand US dollars! That means these two piles of clothes are worth millions!" Hearing Qiao Yus explanation, those nearby swallowed hard. A hundred thousand US dollars, thats hundreds of thousands of RMB! In Magic City, a few hundred thousand might not be jaw-dropping. But, spending hundreds of thousands on a single piece of clothing?! My god! Are they crazy? Qiao Yu looked at their shock and could only shake his head with a wry smile. She had yet to mention. At the party, the person wearing this kind of clothing treated it like a treasure, more important than his female companion, constantly bragging about it! But today! She saw two piles of high couture casually lying on the floor. Such a stark contrast! She couldnt help but smirk to herself. No wonder people asked her to leave, she truly wasnt worthy to be around them! Even more laughable was that she actually felt a hint of resentment just now, resent what exactly. At this moment, the staff sent by the manager to call people returned. Only, they didnt bring back Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng, but Liang Lan. Liang Lan came in, looked at the two piles of clothing, then looked around at the onlookers, with a slight frown. After thinking, she asked the manager: "Could you help destroy them?" "Ah!?" The manager was stunned: "Destroy!?" Destroy items worth millions just like that!? "Yes, destroy them, this is for your troubles." Liang Lan paid the fee, then watched as the manager destroyed the clothes. Seeing that the clothes were indeed destroyed, the customers went mad! "Oh man, this is real wealth!" "Such extravagance? Nouveau riche?" "They really dont treat money as money!" "..." Compared to the astonishment of these people, Qiao Yu appeared much calmer. She probably guessed the reason for the destruction. Because it was uncertain whether they had touched it, or even put something inside. If so, it could potentially become a safety hazard. Rather than going through the trouble of checking, its better to just destroy it. This isnt about being nouveau riche, but confidence! After witnessing the destruction, Liang Lan nodded and strode away. Leaving behind a bunch of guests who were heartbroken to the core. Qiao Yu smiled bitterly and shook her head, this is the difference; their stuff they dont fret over, yet these people feel the pain. On the other side. Lu Xiaobu brought Lin Feng to the nearest barbecue stand and sat down. "Are we eating here?" Lin Feng looked at the smoky barbecue restaurant and frowned. "Yeah, were eating here. The taste of barbecue must come from places like this." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "Alright then." Lin Feng had no choice but to sit down. "Boss, bring ten of each skewer on the menu and four beers!" Lu Xiaobu called out expertly. "Alright!" The boss quickly responded. Lin Feng was stunned by this scene: "Have you really eaten in places like this?" He was filled with incredulity. Eating barbecue is normal; its not like rich young masters dont eat barbecue. But usually, they have someone to grill for them, or at least they buy from outside and eat at home. But looking at Lu Xiaobus demeanor, he clearly wasnt a stranger to such places! How is that possible?! "Hehe, bet you didnt know." Lu Xiaobu smiled proudly, "You still have a lot to learn about me!" Honestly, there arent many chances to show off in front of Lin Feng, one of the Four Young Masters of Imperial. Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Not to mention, making this proud guy listen to him. This feeling, just one wordawesome! "I dont believe it can be that tasty." Lin Feng muttered. The draught beer arrived, and Lu Xiaobu took a refreshing sip, exclaiming in delight. Lin Feng frowned. The skewers arrived, and Lu Xiaobu started eating without any pretense. Lin Feng was full of hesitation. Finally, under Lu Xiaobus encouragement, Lin Feng tried eating and drinking. ... Three minutes later. "Boss, another ten skewers of grilled kidney! So delicious!" Lin Feng, very pleased, held his beer high and chugged half a cup with Lu Xiaobu! "Pfft!" Lu Xiaobu sprayed out his beer at the word "delicious." What the hell! Did that just happen?! "My god, whats wrong with you? Drunk?" Lin Feng puzzled, downed another half cup: "Another beer!" This meal, he enjoyed immensely. Not because the food was exceptionally delicious. But this uninhibited atmosphere filled his heart with joy. After all, he had run out because of his familys arrangements. Now, being able to eat, drink, and chat so freely made him very happy. However, they were unrestrained, but someone else couldnt stand it anymore! Chapter 410 - 408 Bragging Experts Gather Together【4th Update】 Chapter 410: Chapter 408 Bragging Experts Gather Together4th UpdateLu Xiaobu took a sip of his draft beer and then asked, "You still havent said, who exactly is the heiress your family has arranged for you?" "Heiress?" Lin Feng took a bite of his kidney skewer. "Not an heiress; shes a princess from a royal family. I wont tell you which country, though." "A princess and you dont want her?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes as he spoke. "Id give her to you, but would you take her?" Lin Fengs lips curled. "Easy for you to say when youre not the one having to deal with it." The old Lin Feng was still okay; even if unwilling, he knew to prioritize the bigger picture. But ever since he started hanging out with Lu Xiaobu, that desire for freedom inside him has grown increasingly intense! "Forget it, lets talk about something else." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. "Have you been staying in Magic City these past few days?" "Ill stay for two days. Probably in two days, my dad will find me. So, after two days, Ill head to Shimen, to your turf." Lin Feng was still very meticulous in his thoughts. "Hey, by the way, is your plane still the Challenger? Youve been using it for almost a year now, havent you thought about changing it?" "As long as the plane can fly, its fine." Lu Xiaobu said without enthusiasm, "Its not like I need it to throw parties on." "Speaking of parties, you dont have a yacht yet! Ill gift you one when we get back, consider it your compensation for this time," said Lin Feng casually. "Sure, but dont give me too small a one! Otherwise, I dont want it." Lu Xiaobu nodded indifferently. The two of them were chatting away. But the people nearby couldnt stand it anymore. "Hey, hey, hey, you two, theres a limit to how much you can brag, okay?!" A guy with a buzz cut couldnt listen any longer: "In just this short chat, you two have talked about deals worth over a billion, right? Princess this, plane that, and yachts... Cant we talk about something more realistic?" "Uh..." Lu Xiaobu snickered. "What were talking about is realistic!" "Me!" The buzz cut guy was at a loss for words. Realistic? Does your family own mines?! Here you go with private planes and yachts. Sure, its all about braggingwho doesnt know how to? His temper rising, the buzz cut guy pulled out his phone. "Hello, what? The residential complex youve built for me is finished? Is it as I described? What? Theres a discrepancy? Blow it up! Rebuild!" After his declaration, the buzz cut guy looked provocatively at Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu. How about that? You think buying a private plane is something? Ill just blow up an entire neighborhood! Are you impressed yet?! Everyone brags when theyre having a few drinks. The other patrons listened as the buzz cut guy started. Off we go, let the bragging begin. To the east. A guy in a suit said to his pal, "Keep that 270-degree panoramic apartment by the Huangpu River for me! Its only three billion; Ill buy it!" His companion waved his hand generously, "You buy something else! Im getting that one!" To the north. "Has my custom-made Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived yet? The one where the Angel emblem rises with the push of a button?" a bald man shouted into his phone. To the south. "Alright, then tell him I dont want the change from that five billionjust make it a round number," a woman in casual wear proclaimed lavishly. The bragging from each person was bolder than the next! It stunned the owner into a stupor, until finally, he offered, "So, I have some freshly roasted bear paws in, who wants a skewer?" Of course, there were also those who failed at bragging! Like! To the west. "Ah, if I dont study hard, Ill have to go back and inherit my multimillion fortune. Its so distressing!" lamented a man in a trench coat. As he spoke, he was giving the woman with him meaningful glances. To get her to play along. But then. She thought for a moment: "Then buy me a bag! Its only just over thirty thousand." "Pfft!" The trench coat guy nearly spit out a mouthful of blood. Is this how you scheme against your husband? Lu Xiaobu, listening to the outrageous bragging all around, was so amused his back teeth were baring in laughter. Not bad! All of them bragging champions! Lin Feng also watched with great amusement. To tell you the truth, he feels like hes watching a monkey show at the zoo right now. The buzz-cut brother, seeing everyone hyping things up, got even more excited and was just short of launching nuclear bombs to obliterate Earth. While he was bragging, one of his companionsLi Dongpulled him aside: "Enough, stop talking." "Whats up? Is bragging a crime now?" Buzz-cut brother laughed: "Right, you should be the one talking! I bet youre the richest one here." As he spoke, buzz-cut brother grabbed his friends wrist: "Come on, everyone, take a look! Know what this is? A Patek Philippe watch! This piece is worth more than a hundred thousand, bet you didnt see that coming." Buzz-cut brothers proudest boast was having such a friend. Hearing buzz-cut brothers words. The bystanders all took a sharp intake of breath. "Hisss! That expensive?!" "Patek Philippe, Ive heard of it, indeed thats the price, I never imagined wed actually have a rich man among us!" "Tycoon, need any decorations for your legs?" "Tycoon, take me with you." "..." Li Dong, seeing everyones gaze turn towards him, also said: "Hes exaggerating, I just sell watches, so its easier for me to get them." But even though he said that, there was still a smug look on his face. After all, not just anyone can wear a watch worth over a hundred thousand. "Lets go." Lu Xiaobu stood up, stretching lazily: "Lets go eat somewhere else." The previous boasting was okay, everyone was just having fun. But now, the topic was clearly veering towards showing off wealth, and that was no longer interesting. "Sure." Lin Feng was indifferent. The two of them paid the bill and left. Nobody cared about their departure. They were just ships passing in the night, and two blowhards at that, so let them leave. Right now, their eyes were only on the tycoon wearing the hundred-thousand-dollar Patek Philippe watch. "Tycoon, say a couple more words." "Tycoon?!" However. They found their so-called tycoon standing there, completely dumbstruck as if petrified. "Li Dong, whats wrong with you?" Buzz-cut brother quickly tugged at Li Dong. "Patek Philippe!" Li Dong swallowed hard before saying. "I know, you just said it, youre wearing Patek Philippe." Buzz-cut brother was puzzled. "Im talking about those two!" Li Dongs eyes followed Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng as they left, swallowing hard again: "The Patek Philippe 175th Anniversary Special Edition watch 5275P-001." "What are you saying? I dont quite understand, all this this model, that model talk." Buzz-cut brother looked completely confused. "To put it simply, the watch they were wearing on their wrists is worth 2.9 million!" Li Dong said, shaking slightly. Was he just showing off in front of such people?! Had he lost his mind?! Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hearing his words, the surrounding customers also collapsed back into their chairs with a clang. They stared, dumbfounded, at the two receding figures! 2.9 million? For a watch?! With 2.9 million, even in the central area of Magic City, you could buy a pretty decent house, right?! And yet, thats what was casually worn on their wrists?! Buzz-cut brother also swallowed hard. Because he remembered the initial topic of conversation. Princess, private planes, private yachts! Could it be! Could it be! They were actually telling the truth!? Not bragging at all!? Chapter 411 - 409: Rising Killing Intent【5th Update】 Chapter 411: Chapter 409: Rising Killing Intent5th UpdateLu Xiaobu and Lin Feng didnt know that after they left, there was discussion about them at the barbecue stand. After all, this kind of discussion was irrelevant to them. "Lets go, this time well go to a Western restaurant, somewhere quiet, to talk about some business." Lin Feng proposed something, seemingly with something on his mind. "ok, whatever you want." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. Although he didnt particularly like Western cuisine, it seemed that Lin Feng wanted to focus on business. Following Lin Fengs directions, the two arrived at an upscale Western restaurant. "Here, I come often, Michelin three-star, the taste is alright." Lin Feng said as he got out of the car. "Are you sure were not going to get kicked out dressed like this?" Xiaobu teased. Lin Feng just rolled his eyes and ignored Xiaobu. They entered the restaurant. Most of the guests here were foreigners, with only a small portion of Chinese. That was normal since Western cuisine didnt quite suit Chinese eating habits. Not many people would eat it every day! Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They were led to a quiet spot by a waiter. Lin Feng took charge of ordering. The aperitif was served first. Xiaobu tasted the aperitif, smacking his lips: "Whats up? Spit it out." "Figure out a way for me to escape my familys control," Lin Feng said, staring intently at Lu Xiaobu. "No way, dont even think about it. Lets eat and then go to sleep!" Xiaobu dismissed the idea without a second thought. What a joke, helping Lin Feng escape his familys control? What would that imply? Confronting the Lin Family?! Dream on! The Lu Family was not at that stage yet. "Youre the only one I can turn to! Only you! If you dont help me, its going to be a fight to the death!" Lin Fengs tone was as annoying as ever! "Are you sure?" A smile appeared on Xiaobus lips. In an instant, the atmosphere in the private room became extremely tense. These two guys were always like that, friendly one second, at each others throats the next. "Why wouldnt I be sure?! Very sure!" Lin Fengs gaze was sharp, and his tone was full of threatening intent: "Youre an opponent I acknowledge. If I cant have another battle with you, Ill just destroy you ahead of time!" "But I can destroy you right now!" Lu Xiaobus eyes remained lazy, but a sharp gleam suddenly burst forth: "Physical annihilation!" "Kill me? I doubt you have what it takes!" Lin Feng picked up the table knife and spun it in his hand, reflecting the overhead light onto Xiaobus face: "Your bodyguard isnt even by your side right now, can you take me in a fight?" "You must have forgotten about that guy from the Baji Sect." Xiaobu didnt grab a knife or a fork, continuing to drink instead. "I havent forgotten, but I dont believe you can keep that up." Lin Fengs hand spun the knife faster and faster, his eyes becoming sharper: "Besides, even if you could kill me, youd still have to confront the Lin Family! Same result!" "No, its different, one is being threatened, and the other is me issuing the threat!" Lu Xiaobu spoke indifferently: "I prefer the latter." "Are you sure?!" Lin Fengs tone grew even more hostile. "I am, sure." Lu Xiaobu said flatly, then reached out and grabbed the swiftly spinning sharp table knife from Lin Fengs hand. He grasped the sharp blade tightly: "Kids shouldnt play with knives, careful you might cut yourself!" The Charging Shield made him completely indifferent to such injuries! Seeing this scene. Lin Fengs pupils shrank to the size of pinholes in an instant. Lu Xiaobu actually grabbed the blade directly!? And without a scratch?! Could it be... He clenched his fist tightly, then released it. Gradually, his pupils returned to normal. He gently released the table knife: "If you want it, then its yours!" "Good boy!" Lu Xiaobus mouth curled into a smile as he took the dinner knife back. "Alright, lets eat." Lin Fengs face returned to normal. As if nothing had happened before. But there was a kind of excitement gradually spreading in his eyes! Indeed! Lu Xiaobu, youre the only one who can help me, and you must help me! Lets consider this our next duel! This time, I will definitely win, so you will definitely help me! "Sure, lets eat." Lu Xiaobu smiled. The atmosphere in the private room became gentle once again. The two had transformed from mortal enemies back to old friends. Dont think they were just playing around! At any moment, just then, blood could truly have been spilled on the spot! The dishes arrived. "Try this, a medium-rare steak, one of my favored flavors." Lin Feng adeptly used his knife and fork to eat the beef. Lu Xiaobu took a bite, tasted it, and nodded: "Not bad at all." "Right, didnt your Lu Family start by running a restaurant? Give some feedback." Lin Feng said with a smile. It was purely a joke. After all, the Lu Family made Chinese food, and this was a Michelin three-star restaurant, how could there be room for feedback. However. "Feedback? None! But, I do have a suggestion." Lu Xiaobu put down his knife and fork and said. "Oh?!" Lin Fengs mouth curved into an amused smile. What kind of mischief was Lu Xiaobu up to now?! "Waiter." Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers. "How may I assist you, sir?" The waiter bowed as he approached Lu Xiaobu. "Go buy something for me." "Of course, what would you like?" "Lao Ganma, you can find it in any supermarket, go buy it." "Ah?! This..." The waiter was taken aback. "Something the matter? Is that troubling?" Lu Xiaobu tilted his head and looked on. "Sir, if you requested liquor, or some sort of food, I could understand and go buy it. But, this Lao Ganma is hot sauce! Such an item in the restaurant could possibly discomfort other patrons." The waiter explained. Lao Ganma is a hot sauce, a condiment, with a distinctive, volatile aroma. If other patrons were to smell it, it could affect their appetite, which would truly be a nuisance. Since this is a western restaurant, and the customers are mostly foreigners, it could make things much worse. "I dont really like throwing money around, but just this once." Lu Xiaobu said calmly: "One hundred thousand yuan." "This guest..." "Five hundred thousand!" "Guest, Ill go buy it right away!" The waiter instantly switched sides. There are no absolute friends, no absolute enemies, only eternal interests. Although the restaurants salary is high. But, this half a million is enough for him to risk getting fired! Lin Feng sat by silently, quietly watching it all. He was curious to see what Lu Xiaobu was up to. Lao Ganma? Western cuisine? Steak?! What was going on in Lu Xiaobus mind? Lu Xiaobu didnt explain either, just quietly waited for the Lao Ganma to be bought back. Only he knew what effect Lao Ganma would have when paired with western cuisine! With that thought, the corners of his mouth couldnt help but curl into a playful smile! Chapter 412 - 410 Is it tastier this way? 【1st Update】 Chapter 412: Chapter 410 Is it tastier this way? 1st UpdateLao Ganma cost us half a million to buy. After placing it down, the waiter went to tidy up and contact new jobs, always ready to be fired! Lu Xiaobu opened the cap, and the unique fragrance of Lao Ganma wafted out, making ones mouth water! "Hmm?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "Is this the chili sauce you made?" He had heard of it, but never tasted it. After all, his life with Lu Xiaobu previously didnt require any condiments. Of course, another reason was the low profit margins of this product, just a few cents, he really didnt care for it. "Yeah." While Lu Xiaobu spoke, he scooped a spoonful and placed it on the steak. Steak plus Lao Ganma, a big bite went down. Hmm, a full feeling of happiness. "Is it really that delicious?" Lin Feng looked skeptical at Lu Xiaobus expression. Every time hes with this Lu Xiaobu, he worries that this guy might trick him. After all, he vividly remembers the last time he sat squatting smoking a cigar, and got tricked by this bastard! "Believe it or not, hurry up and eat, after eating, lets go out and play." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "Eh... Let me try!" Lin Feng couldnt resist his curiosity, scooped a spoonful, placed it on the steak, and took a bite like Lu Xiaobu. "Hmm!? This feeling... this flavor... tsk tsk tsk!" Lin Fengs taste buds were instantly stimulated. The spicy aroma of Lao Ganma, coupled with the smoothness of the beef, exploded in his mouth. The spiciness of Lao Ganma was like a battering ram, forcefully opening the gates of his taste buds, then the flavor of the beef stormed in forcefully! One wordAmazing! "You really are a genius! You can even concoct this!" Lin Feng was convinced, at least on this matter. Lu Xiaobu didnt bother to pay him much attention. So. The two began, alternating spoonfuls of Lao Ganma on the steak. ... Next to Lu Xiaobu and his group. "Smith, do you smell something?" A black guy sniffed and said. "It seems like a fragrant smell, is it some new sauce?" White guy Smith also sniffed and said. "Lets ask, waiter." The black guy called the waiter over. "Hello, may I help you?" "Do you have a new sauce? Please give us some." "New sauce? No." "Thats not right, smell this, thats the smell." "This? Let me smell, it seems like its coming from next door, maybe its something brought by the customers. Definitely not provided by our restaurant!" "Then can you help us buy some? We can pay." "Ill go ask! Please wait a moment!" "Okay." The waiter left the foreign guests private room, came to Lu Xiaobus door, and knocked. "What is it?" The two were happily eating away. "Hello, the two guests next door want to buy your..." The waiter stopped midway, unable to continue. Because, he saw the Lao Ganma on the table. He thought the smell seemed familiar just now, and now seeing itMy god! Lao Ganma with steak!? Am I crazy, or has the world gone mad? "What are they buying?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Your sauce." The waiter said helplessly. Hes just a waiter, not to ask what shouldnt be asked, not to think what shouldnt be thought. "Our sauce? Sure." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Is the other party a foreigner?" "Yes." the waiter replied helplessly. Surely hes a foreigner, right? Nowadays, who in the Heavenly Dynasty doesnt know about Lao Ganma? Lu Xiaobu got it, then scooped a bit of Lao Ganma from the jar with a spoon, put it on the plate, and topped it with some garnishes from the steak platter, making a nice presentation. "Whats this for? Tastes even better?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled. "No, this makes it more expensive!" Lu Xiaobu said seriously. "Pfft!" Lin Feng immediately burst out laughing. This Lu Xiaobu is definitely planning to scam the foreigners! The waiter was speechless. You, sir, are openly scamming foreigners! But still, what he shouldnt know, he doesnt. His task was just to serve this sauce to the foreigners. He went next door. "Gentlemen, a guest from the next table would like to share their sauce with you." Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh my God, were so thankful." The Black man was instantly thrilled, he looked at the sauce in the waiters hand: "How much is it?" "Uh... they didnt say." The waiter paused, having forgotten that part: "Let me go ask." "Alright." The Black man nodded. The waiter left. The two foreigners then started eating very cautiously. Looking at the exquisite sauce, both of them dared not dip too much, just cutting a piece of steak and lightly dipping before eating. "My God! So delicious!" "Yes, Smith, its so tasty!" "Is this sauce invented by Heavenly Dynasty? I didnt expect it to match the steak so well!" "This unique taste experience, oh, Im addicted now!" "Wow, thats awesome!" "Smith, leave some for me. Youre dipping too much, its wasteful!" "You wish! Its all mine!" "..." Well, the two foreigners almost started fighting. All over a sauce that wasnt even as much as two spoonfuls, less than what Lu Xiaobu would eat in two bites! Oh, poor foreigners. See, Im shedding tears for you! What? You cant see? Wait, I didnt use enough eye drops! ... While the foreigners were still scrambling over it. The waiter came back to Lu Xiaobus private room. "Excuse me, sirs, how much are you charging?" "Charging? Oh, for the Lao Ganma, right." Lu Xiaobu realized. "Yes, the Lao Ganma." The waiter looked exasperated. Can you guys imagine his expression right now? Saying its not enough, nor is not saying! Cant we be a bit more subtle? This is just outright scamming foreigners! "Just tell the foreigners, if they want more, its simple. For each person they bring over, Ill give them a free portion. Bring two, and get two portions." Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said. Lao Ganma had been quiet for so long, it was time it made some money. Of course, its not for him! Its mainly for those employees responsible for Lao Ganmas production. If Lao Ganma makes no money, they dont earn either. "Okay." The waiter, resigned. "Wait a minute." Lu Xiaobu stopped the waiter: "Here, 5000 bucks for you. What should be done and what shouldnt, you know what I mean?" "Thank the guest, I understand!" The waiter immediately thanked, overjoyed. This guest is really generous. He silently wished in his heartwish you become wealthy enough to rival a nation! Lin Feng watched Lu Xiaobu with amusement. Thats why he enjoyed hanging out with Lu Xiaobu. Because Lu Xiaobus cunning schemes are endless! I believe, this Western restaurant is about to face a revolution! Chapter 413 - 411 Arrangements are Clearly Made [2nd Update] Chapter 413: Chapter 411 Arrangements are Clearly Made [2nd Update]The waiter informed the two foreigners who were anxious after finishing their Lao Ganma. The two foreigners immediately sprang into action. "Hey, handsome, do you want to try a new sauce?" "A new sauce? How does it taste?" "Youll know once you try it." "Oh, so oily! And its red, I wont like it." "Come on, just take a bite." "OMG, this is amazing! Where can I buy it?!" ... "Hey, beauty, delicious sauce, check it out!" "Oh, handsome, do you have time later?!" "I do, but first, I want you to try this." "Is this chili sauce? I dont really like spicy food; it makes me uncomfortable." "Just a little bit, well go out together tonight!" "Alright, Ill try it!" "Yup!" "Oh my God, sorry, handsome, I probably wont have time tonight, Ive found my new love!" "Pfft!" ... Its pretty easy for foreigners to communicate with each other. So, soon enough, Lao Ganma became a huge hit throughout the whole Western restaurant. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. All the foreigners were lined up at the door of Xiaobus private room. "Oh, this sauce really is delicious." "Yes, I didnt even know there was a sauce tastier than avocado sauce!" "Have you not tried it? Avocado with this sauce is even more delicious." "Really?" "My gosh, this is bliss!" ... Inside the private room, Xiaobu was scooping Lao Ganma for the foreigners, one spoonful at a time. Each spoonful of Lao Ganma was carefully plated to look attractive. So, just these little bits of Lao Ganma made the foreigners scream excitedly, full of envy. Yep, one spoonful for ten bucks. And the original price of a bottle was five bucks! *Cough cough* The waiters at the Western restaurant were dumbfounded. "Come on, really?" "Whats wrong with these foreigners? Its just a bottle of Lao Ganma! They must be overwhelmed!" "This is crazy, originally its five bucks a bottle, now theyre buying it for 10 bucks a spoonful, this is more profitable than selling steak!" "Alright, those who know, know; those who dont, dont need to know." "..." The waiters dispersed. Back to their respective tasks. And at this moment, the Western restaurant was filled with the aroma of Lao Ganma. "My God! This feeling is so wonderful." "Yes, the delightful sensation blossoming in my mouth is amazing!" "What if I cant get enough?" "It wont run out, right?" Whenever the waiters saw or heard such joyful conversations from the foreigners, they couldnt help but show a bit of sympathy, and even some sadnessyou foreigners are way too easily satisfied! But these foreigners felt none of it, reveling in their eating. They began trying it with everything. Some paired it with bread, some with steak, and some with avocado. Even one of them matched it with dessert ice cream. Really have no idea what he was thinking. Not only that, they were also crazily recommending this sauce on various social media platforms. Many foreigners flocked to Xiaobus private room door, continuously begging. "Sir, could you share the secret recipe with us? Or could you produce this sauce?" "Yeah, I feel like I wont be able to live without this hot sauce in the future!" "The taste is incredible, indescribably good!" "Without it, Id lose my soul!" "..." "Want more?" Lu Xiaobu opened the door with a smile. "Yes, yes, we want more." The foreigners nodded frantically, "I feel that this would definitely be a hit in our country." Lu Xiaobu: "Then youve come to the right person. This thing, only I have it here." "Who says youre the only one who has it?!" At this moment, someone interrupted Lu Xiaobu. Everyone turned around and suddenly saw Jiang Dun, the manager of the Western restaurant, walking over. "What do you mean?" asked the foreigner. "Do you have this type of sauce too?" "Of course, this is our restaurant, of course, we have it." Jiang Dun smiled. "If you all want some, I can prepare it for you? Same flavor, and even with a slightly better price." Hearing Jiang Duns words, The foreigners immediately became excited. "Oh, thats great, I thought it was an exclusive secret recipe." "So the restaurant can provide it too! Please give me one portion, no, ten portions!" "Please hurry, thank you!" "..." And Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed slightly, feeling annoyed. Actually, regardless of who promotes Lao Ganma, hes the one who profits in the end. But right now, he was having a great time, and this guy spoils it by butting in! Not just spoiling the fun. Suddenly a waiter handed him a note. Lu Xiaobu opened it and instantly found it amusing! It was written like this. "Guest, youve brought your seasoning to our restaurant and even sold it here, which has seriously affected our normal operations. However, since you provided a new recipe, the good cancels out the bad, and now, you can leave!" What does that mean? This sentence means, kid, we accept the Lao Ganma paired with Western food thing you discovered, you can get lost, were not pursuing your responsibility, you better say thank you to us. Thats what it means! Lu Xiaobu raised his head, and the excited Jiang Dun also shot a look overjust leave, the money isnt yours to earn! Jiang Dun felt very smug inside. He didnt know how much his boss would reward him if he disclosed this recipe. But it would definitely be substantial. Moreover, some of todays income from Lao Ganma, he could skim a bit off the top. Thats all money! He never expected such an unexpected windfall today! Awesome! As for Lu Xiaobu who provided the recipe, he didnt care at all. Although he didnt say it aloud, he felt a contempt in his heart. Looking at the clothes he wore, and he even brought Lao Ganma to their Michelin restaurant to eat Western food, anyone could guess with their toes that he must be a poor guy. Hes being kind by not pursuing their responsibility. Even if this guy goes for broke and exposes the secret that Lao Ganma is actually readily available everywhere. Hes not afraid. After all, eating Lao Ganma alone is impossible; it must be paired with Western food, which only their restaurant offers. In the restaurant, they provide the sauce, then charge, any wrong? I dont think so! So, hes got these two guys pegged! "Alright, alright." Lu Xiaobu saw Jiang Duns look, and the curve of his mouth grew even bigger! Its really clearly arranged! Any ordinary person would definitely be completely exploited! But standing here is Lu Xiaobu, the boss of Lu Group. Who are you trying to arrange?! Chapter 414 - 412: Seeds [3rd Update for Cheng Die] Chapter 414: Chapter 412: Seeds [3rd Update for Cheng Die]As for such a jumping clown, Lu Xiaobu couldnt bother to waste his breath on him. "Sister Lan, tell the owner of this restaurant that he can fire his employee now." Lu Xiaobu made a phone call, and yawned as he did so. When dealing with a fly, do you choose to match wits and courage with it, or do you just slap it dead?! "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan responded. "Wow, such big talk." Lu Xiaobus words were not hidden and Zhang Meng could hear them loud and clear. This kid thinks he is who, firing me? And the next second. His phone rang. "Jiang Dun, you can pack up and leave, youre fired." The restaurant owners words clearly broke into Jiang Duns ears. "What?! Boss, I..." Jiang Dun was as stunned as a wooden chicken and hastily tried to explain. "No need to explain, I wont listen, you provoked Lu Xiaobu, what else do you want to do?" The restaurant owner cut off Jiang Duns words abruptly: "Dont mention provoking Lu Xiaobu, even if you didnt, if he finds you displeasing and calls me, I have to give him face! So, stop the nonsense and just leave quickly!" "Lu...Lu...Lu Xiaobu?!" Upon hearing this name, Jiang Duns pupils dilated instantly. He couldnt believe it and turned back to look at Lu Xiaobu: "You! You! You! You are Lu Xiaobu?" No one answered him. He didnt need an answer. He looked at Lu Xiaobus face in terror, and it slowly merged with the image of Lu Xiaobu he had in his mind! Correct! This is Lu Xiaobu! The big boss of Lu Group, the willful spoiled brat! Its not his fault that he didnt recognize him at first. After all, Lu Xiaobus identity has never been indicated by his face, but by his lackeys! Probably more people remember Zhang Mengs face than Lu Xiaobus! Upon confirming Lu Xiaobus identity, he was almost in tears! Damn it all! Lu Xiaobu, you cant screw people over like this. Wearing jeans, wearing a trench coat, without any attendants, and you come here to eat Western food?! And you even conjured up something like Lao Ganma with Western food?! Isnt this just outright trickery! He instinctively wanted to beg for mercy! However, he didnt even have time to beg for mercy. Because the other employees obviously also received the call, they directly hoisted Jiang Dun and carried him out. Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng did not even glance at this guy. The foreigners were totally bemused witnessing all of this. However, they soon shifted their attention. After all, such a matter had nothing to do with them, the hot sauce was what mattered. "Excuse me, sir, may I have another one of those?" "Yes! That hot sauce!" "..." "Alright, let me tell you the truth. What youre eating is this." Lu Xiaobu took out a bottle of Lao Ganma and put it openly on the table. "This is it?!" The foreigners were suddenly stunned. This kind of packaging was something you could buy on the market! The delicious sauce they were enjoying was not a specially concocted one, but something sold on the market?! What the heck! This thing paired with steak tastes so good? To be honest, they had seen this product before, after all, its abundant in supermarkets. But they had never felt the desire to buy it before, because this thing was so different from the food they had in mind. Even if the sauce hadnt been served to them in a plated form but was given to them directly, they would have still refused it! Of course, that was before. Now, there was only one word in their mindsbuy, buy, buy! And so, they didnt even finish their meal, they paid the bill and left for the supermarket. Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaobus mouth curled into a smile. The seed has been sown, just waiting for it to take root and grow. Just give it some more time, and Lao Ganma will definitely crack open the foreign markets. Of course, by then, it wont just be about profits of a few dimes. At that time, itll be about thinking of multiplying profits. When it comes to ripping off foreigners, he never goes easy. ... After leaving the restaurant, there was nothing much left for Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng to say. It was simply a matter of trying this and that. Lu Xiaobu had a great time. Not because he actually enjoyed the activities, but seeing Lin Fengs utterly confused face, not fitting in with the surroundings at all, was absolutely delightful. Lu Xiaobu had fun, but Lin Feng was tormented! He couldnt for the life of him understand how Lu Xiaobu, just like him raised in luxury, could assimilate so effortlessly among the crowd, while he was always subtly shunned. Damn it, how does Lu Xiaobu know how to do everything? When had Lu Xiaobu come into contact with all those things? Not to mention him, even Zhang Meng and Li Jin, who were always protecting Lu Xiaobu, were dumbstruck. "This... Young Master Bu knows this too?" "Holy cow, he knows that as well?!" They never imagined that Young Master Bu, who appeared too lazy to even take care of himself sometimes, thrived so well in the ordinary life. Riding the bus, going to Internet cafes, eating at street stalls, and so on. While Lin Feng was still figuring out the rules like an idiot, the young master was already thoroughly enjoying life. Oh, right, Young Master Bu also casually caught a pickpocket. ... After two days of fun. Outside an Internet caf. Some people were squatting or sitting, smoking. These were people waiting for the Internet caf to start the all-nighter service. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Everyone chatted about their own topics. Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng were squatting there, smoking as well, perfectly blending in with the others. "Man, I have to say, Im really not cut out for this kind of life. Its fine to experience it, but if you asked me to really live like this, I dont think I could handle it." Lin Feng stubbed out his cigarette butt on the ground and said to Lu Xiaobu. "Isnt that obvious! Only a lunatic would choose to live like this every day if they could have a better life, right?" Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders as he spoke. Forget about those fantasies of returning to a so-called simpler life, rural women, mountain springs, and owning a bit of farmland. Thats just what people with no shortage of money think. "So yeah, lets go, lets head to Shimen! Theres nothing fun left here." Lin Feng stood up and stretched, his eyes gradually regaining their usual lofty expression. That was his true demeanor; the rest was just him trying to blend in as much as possible. "Sure!" Lu Xiaobu also stood up. His expression didnt change, after all, he had always been this laid-back. Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers with a flick of his hand. Zhang Meng and the others noticed immediately and drove the RV to the entrance. "Young master." Liang Lan got out of the RV. She handed over the clothes, red wine, cigars, everything prepared beforehand, one by one. Then she made a welcoming gesture. "Hmm." Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng exchanged a smile, got into the car, and left. They were gone. The bystanders were stunned. Their eyes bulged as wide as cow eyes. What just happened? Werent all these people here just waiting to go online? How the hell did two big shots pop up?! "Holy shit! Am I seeing things?!" "Its not an illusion, more like weve gone blind!" "Damn, I thought we were dealing with a Bronze, but it turns out to be a freaking King?" "..." Their heads were all buzzing. That feeling, how to describe it? It was as if they were all chicks, and suddenly two of the chicks twisted their bodies and turned into phoenixes flying away. Can you imagine the expressions on the faces of those chickens? Chapter 415 - 413: Really Having an Affair [First Update] Chapter 415: Chapter 413: Really Having an Affair [First Update]Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng returned to Shimen. After getting off the plane, Lin Feng bid farewell to Lu Xiaobu: "Alright, Im going to have some fun alone. Ill call you if anything comes up." "Go ahead, go ahead." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and didnt ask any further. He could guess that this was probably Lin Fengs pride at work. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In Magic City, the two of them were both outsiders, and they got along as ordinary people without any hierarchy between them. But now, back in Shimen, Lu Xiaobus turf, Lin Feng naturally felt a psychological gap and was unwilling to hang out with Lu Xiaobu like they had in Magic City. Its human nature, understandable. "Young Master, the second episode of The Voice begins tomorrow. Are you going to the scene?" Liang Lan inquired. "Also, Miss Sun Wanqi has been looking for you, but Ive held her off for the last couple of days." "Shes looking for me? What for?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Its about the Learning to Meow song. Youll see if you go online." Liang Lan covered her mouth and chuckled softly. "These past couple of days, Miss Sun has been tormented!" "Whats there to be tormented about? Its just singing a song." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes again and took the mobile phone handed over by Liang Lan. But then. "Pfft, hahahahaha!" Lu Xiaobu burst into laughter with just one look. The comments online were all like this. "Oh my God! I originally thought that the biggest highlight of The Voice would be the coaches and that the contestants were just there to mess around. Then, Lu Xiaobu slapped me across the face, telling me its the contestants who are the main characters. And just when I was crazy supporting my favorite contestant, Lu Xiaobu backhanded me again with another slap; damn it, even the Queen of Heaven is acting cute!?" "Sister Sun, Queen Sun, where is your dignity? Youre acting cute in public? Do you know? Acting cute is shameful! Acting cute is a crime! Youve made my nose bleed with cuteness. You must take responsibility for me!" "Queen of Heaven, Im pregnant, believe it or not! Probably twins!" "I strongly demand Queen of Heaven to perform Learning to Meow again. My ears are about to have twins!" "I never imagined that Queen of Heaven could act so cute. I was so excited that I didnt sleep for two days and two nights. I couldnt even enjoy watching videos anymore... *cough cough cough*!" "Also, also, have you noticed? When Queen Sun sang this song, her gaze was fixed on Lu Xiaobu. Could it be..." "I noticed too. Is Queen Sun also heading down the path of marrying into a wealthy family?!" "Shouldnt be!" "Are you sure it wont happen?! Who doesnt get along with money nowadays?!" "..." The internet was awash with such comments. Of course, some people discussed more serious topics. "Queen of Heaven, can you tell us who wrote this song? Why have we never heard it before?" "Yeah, and the theme song of The Voice, we havent heard it either!" "Could it be that both songs were written by the same person?" "I dont think its possible. The two songs are completely different in style. Although a lyricist is not limited to one style, their creations often bear some of their traits. But these two songs? Theres not the slightest bit of similarity!" "Could it be that Lu Xiaobu had someone else write them?" "..." Its no wonder they didnt know, since the songs were originally sung without listing the lyricists or composers. After all, these songs were thrown together by Lu Xiaobu; he wasnt relying on this stuff to bring him anything, so he stayed anonymous! While he was looking at this, Sun Wanqis call came through. "Hello, President Lan, is President Lu still not back?" Lu Xiaobu had just answered the phone when he heard Sun Wanqis slightly irritated voice. "Whats the matter?" Lu Xiaobu said with a laugh. "Do you even know to come back? Do you have any idea how much your song has tortured me?" Sun Wanqis anger flared up: "Now my Weibo is full of those rumors." "What rumor?" Lu Xiaobu spread his hands, bluffed with all seriousness: "How come I dont know?" "Dont know?! Its those rumors that say you and me have a... that thing!" Sun Wanqi almost let it slip in her agitation: "You must figure out a solution for me! It was you who asked me to sing in the first place." "Thats easy!" Lu Xiaobu smirked: "Ill teach you!" "Tell me." Sun Wanqis eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Lu Xiaobu had a method. Having a solution is good. This Lu Xiaobu has a quick mind and plenty of tricks up his sleeve; he should have a way. "Just post a Weibo." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Okay!" Sun Wanqi was earnest: "What should I write?" "Just write that Lu Xiaobu and I..." Lu Xiaobu continued. "Hold on, Ill note it down." Sun Wanqi seemed truly unable to bear it any longer, anxiously speaking. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Lu Xiaobu and I." Sun Wanqi repeated, typing out the words: "Whats next?" "We really are having an affair!" Lu Xiaobu immediately said: "Then hit send." "We really are having an affair." Sun Wanqi repeated: "Then, hit send." Suddenly! The phone fell silent. Then! "Ah!" Sun Wanqi, the ever-graceful and refined Queen of Heaven, emitted a gnashing sound: "Lu! Xiao! Bu!" She was almost driven mad! Tricked by this Lu Xiaobu again?! What does really having an affair mean?! Since when did we have an affair?! Ah! If she had been directly writing this on Weibo just now, she might have actually sent it out. Especially with Qi Yanfeis weird glances next to her, it was enough to make her furiously mad! "Calm down, calm down, just a joke." Lu Xiaobu chuckled: "Reveal my name to divert some attention from you." "Fine, thats all we can do for now, my new album is releasing soon anyway, it should be fine by then," Sun Wanqi sighed. Thats actually why she called, for this matter. As for the joke Lu Xiaobu made earlier, it was really just a joke. After all, theyre not like Lu, who can post on Weibo and scold people whenever they want. Most of their Weibo posts need to be designed and reviewed by a professional team. After hanging up, Lu Xiaobu turned to Liang Lan: "Are there any interesting contestants in the second episode?" "Young Master, the elderly rocker you picked is in the second episode." Liang Lan responded immediately. "Forget it, cant be bothered to go, Ill just watch at home." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Oh, get Lin Feng a ticket to the live show, he can go if he wants, or forget it if not." "Got it, Young Master, Ill arrange it right away." Liang Lan replied. Lu Xiaobu stretched and headed home. He was somewhat looking forward to the second episode tomorrow. Not looking forward to anyone else, just that elderly man. He personally felt that this elderly man was even more thrilling than Ning Feiping! Chapter 416 - 414: Do You Have to Be So Considerate of Us?【2nd Update】 Chapter 416: Chapter 414: Do You Have to Be So Considerate of Us?2nd UpdateAlthough Lu Xiaobu had agreed, Sun Wanqi did not choose to release the news immediately after consulting with Qi Yanfei. Because the second episode of "The Voice" was about to start filming. Releasing the news at this time would be overshadowed by "The Voice" news. And releasing it after "The Voice" airs would add icing on the cake. For Sun Wanqi, and for "The Voice," its the best choice. ... Currently online, as the second episode of "The Voice" approached, discussions about the show heated up again. "Stop meowing, The Voice is about to start!" "I know, Im following it! Hope to see Sister Sun meow again!" "It might be tough this time, better focus on the show instead!" "Its finally airing, Ive been waiting a whole week, Ive watched the first episode three times!" "Me too, I rarely watch variety shows, usually just watch foreign ones for the translation! After all, their standards are so high! But Lu Xiaobus The Voice is different! Ive told those resource websites that we have something better than abroad!" "The more you talk, the more I cant wait, Im going to watch Queen of Heavens meow again!" "Right, what do you guys guess the ratings will be? Over 2% again?" "Its hard to say, seems tough." "It is tough. The first episode was explosive, feels like all resources were concentrated there!" "But no matter how much it drops, The Voice has a high base, the ratings wont be too low!" "The key is whether there will be outstanding contestants again. If there are a few like Wu Mei and Ning Feiping, the ratings will definitely not fall!" "Such contestants are rare." "Rare? More like a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn!" "Lets wait and see, it all depends on the quality of the second episodes contestants!" "..." Of course, not all are praises, some are still set on criticizing. "The first episodes ratings were too accidental!" "I agree, one episode is okay, but not necessarily the second or third. The Voices first episode has severely overspent the market, it can only become weaker afterwards." "Dont get your hopes up, the second episode of The Voice may not be what you imagine!" Lets not mention these critics. But regardless of whether its criticism or praise, the heated discussions about "The Voice" cant be avoided. ... At the entrance of the recording site. Zhang Feng and Elder Wang were chatting. "Its amazing! The topic of The Voice is still trending high!" Zhang Feng said excitedly, "Look, just now, our topic surged again." "Really? That shouldnt be!" Elder Wang frowned and said skeptically, "We know the market rules! Even if our show is hot, its been several days, how can it still be trending?" "Seriously, look, its those netizens who were discussing Sister Suns meow, their conversation naturally carried over to our show The Voice." Zhang Feng showed his phone to Elder Wang. "Ssst!" Elder Wang sucked in a breath of cold air after looking: "Really? That works?!" No wonder he was surprised; no show stays hot forever. Under normal circumstances, after several days, The Voice would normally decline in popularity. After all, the entertainment industry is full of news: affairs, divorces, marriages, countless stories to attract the audience. And now? Queen of Heavens meow keeping The Voice trending?! "Do you guys think that Young Master Bu did this on purpose?!" A female editor suddenly proposed a guess, "After all, Young Master Bus strategic planning is famous in the business circle." "Youre saying..." Zhang Fengs pupils dilated: "Young Master Bu foresaw all this from the beginning and deliberately let Sister Sun meow?!" "Its not impossible!" Elder Wang swallowed and looked shocked. "Really terrifying! Im such a fan!" Zhang Feng said with great admiration. This would have made Lu Xiaobu roll his eyes if he heard it! Ah, life is really helpless, always being worshipped for no reason! He just wanted to hear the Queen of Heaven mimic a cat, and it became a strategic plan. He feels that if this continues, someone might dig up his toilet to see if theres gold whenever he uses it! The color is pretty much the same anyway, cough cough cough! ... Evening. Half past eight. At the Lu Family home. Lin Shu prepared a large table full of sumptuous dishes. Lus father and the three Lu brothers all sat on the couch. Liang Lan and Zhang Meng were also seated in a circle, the whole family joyfully awaited the start of "The Voice." "Xiaobu, are the contestants in the second episode the same as the first one? Are they all like Wu Mei? There cant be many of that type of contestant!" Lus father inquired. "I dont know, I wasnt involved," Lu Xiaobu shrugged: "Why dont you ask Liang Lan?" S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liang Lan smiled without saying a word. Lus father thought for a moment: "Forget it then, spoilers arent fun. Lets just wait and see. Oh right, dont just sit there, eat up." ... This scene was unfolding all over the country. In some household. "Honey, get me a cold beer!" "Youre drinking again?" "The Voice is starting, Ive been looking forward to it for a week!" ... On some street. "Brother Sun, you heading back this early? Play a few more rounds, come on." "No more for me, you guys play. Im going back to watch The Voice." "Wow, youre over forty and still watching talent shows?" "You dont get it, The Voice is different, its really good!" ... At some barbecue skewer joint. "Waiter." "Here." "Turn the TV to The Voice, please." "Right away, sir." "Also, give us fifty skewers of tendon and five bottles of beer, cold ones!" "Coming right up." Countless viewers were already sitting in front of their televisions, watching Shimen TV Station without blinking. Everyone wanted to know what stunning contestants would appear on the second episode of "The Voice." Whether or not it could continue the legend of the first episode. Of course, they were also curious to see if the viewership ratings for the second episode could keep the legend going. ... After the last commercial break. The time reached half past eight. The second episode of "The Voice" officially began! Familiar stage, familiar opening music. And then... It officially started! "Pfft!" All the viewers sitting in front of the TV were stunned. "Damn, Xiaobu, do you have to be so slick?!" "Yeah, the last episode had an opening song and a coach introduction! This time, nothing, it just started?!" "I was just going to go buy a pack of smokes, and now its started already?!" ... The viewers went crazy. It was fine that the last advertisement break was brief, but this time it was even shorter! Xiaobu, do you have to be so considerate of us?! Chapter 417 - 415: What You Have, I Have Too [3rd Update, Bonus for Recommendation Tickets] Chapter 417: Chapter 415: What You Have, I Have Too [3rd Update, Bonus for Recommendation Tickets]On the TV screen. The VCR of the first contestant began to play. Everyones eyes were fixed intently. They wanted to see what kind of bizarre characters would appear at the beginning of this second episode. Their appetites had already been whetted by Lu Xiaobu. Many people watch "The Voice" just for the freakish talents. After all, train drivers, sports teachers, housewives, bicycle repairmen, and so on, had all shown up. And they all sang incredibly well! How could they not look forward to it?! Not just them, even Lu Hongbin couldnt contain his excitement: "Xiaobu, give me a hint, what kind of freak is kicking off this episode?!" "Its about to start now! Why ask me?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. The VCR started. A female voice said: "Since I was young, my family has been well off, and my parents managed me strictly, forbidding this and that, even in my work after growing up, I worked at my parents company." "I know they wanted to train me so I could take over their company and achieve something in the business world in the future." "But honestly, I dont like these things, nor do I like the deception in business. I love singing, I just want to sing." "Today, Im here on the The Voice stage to tell my parents that I want to choose my own path!" Upon hearing this, the audience immediately felt a pain in their back teeth. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What? A rich second-generation?!" "A rich second-gen comes to sing? This career, in some sense, is indeed bizarre." "Amazed, what songs would a rich second-gen sing?!" "Are they just here to join the fun?" "It shouldnt be, Lu Xiaobu isnt like that." "Well, you never know, face might be more important than money in business." "..." The discussion was lively. The female contestant held the microphone and finally stepped on stage. The moment she stood on the stage, both the live audience and the viewers in front of the TV showed a surprised expression! Why? Because of the contestants appearance! "Shes so beautiful!" "Holy crap, a beauty!" "This persons beautiful, this persons beautiful!" "She has a temperament!" "Sweating, I thought The Voice was all about ugly guys and girls! How did such a stunning beauty suddenly appear? Isnt The Voice supposedly indifferent to appearance?" "Wait, shes also a rich second-gen, white, rich, and beautiful?" "Holy moly, now I really start to believe that Lu Xiaobu probably let some big shots daughter on stage just for face." "Yeah, its a bit disappointing." "Could it be that from the second episode onwards, The Voice cant escape the clich trap of other singing competitions that prefer handsome men and beautiful women? I thought The Voice was refreshingly unconventional! If this contestant doesnt sing well, I might really stop watching The Voice!" "..." Many netizens were commenting online in real time, the impression left by the contestants from the first episode of The Voice was too deep, too shocking, massive. So it led many viewers to form a prejudgment. Thus, when such a beautiful female contestant appeared, and she was also a rich second-gen, they felt even more unsettled! Even feelings of annoyance emerged. Because they felt deceived! The female contestant is named Zhou Yuzhe, indeed a rich second-gen. She clearly anticipated this reaction, so she appeared quite composed. The music started. She began to sing. The song was called "Chasing Dreams." It was a song that flowed smoothly, plain, yet carried a stubborn strength. "I have a dream, not afraid of falling and death." "I have a dream, not afraid of shackles and disappointment." "I have a dream, have a future and hope." "I have a dream, have spring and the sun." When Zhou Yuzhe started singing, everyone suddenly fell silent! The internet erupted again! "Holy smokes!" "Damn, it sounds so good!" "This... she sings so well!" "Damn, who said that good-looking people cant sing well? I was almost misled by you guys! Shes a beauty, but she sings amazingly too!" "Cough cough, I take back what I said before. The first episode of The Voice gave me the wrong impression. I thought there were no handsome men or beautiful women on this stage!" "This person sings as well as Wu Mei! This is a great talent! And so good-looking!" "The Voice is incredible, how did they find so many talented people!" "Rich family, good looks, nice singing voice, uh... Im jealous!" "..." At that moment, on the TV, Chen Wen and Fang Li had both pressed the button, excitedly turned around! "Theyve turned!" "There are two coaches left!" "Hahaha, this is fantastic!" "Wow, Old Chens eyes popped out when he saw the beauty, hey!" "Jia Yi is hesitating, shes about to turn around too!" "..." Zhou Yuzhe is still singing, not hitting high notes or flaunting any skills, just singing this song with deep emotion. This song is about herself, a silent resistance, a stubborn strength. "This dream isnt big, but it makes me yearn." "I want to take this step, not to hide under the wings." "..." Sun Wanqi turned around! Jia Yi, tipping her head, also fiercely pressed the selector! All turned! Its rare for all four coaches to turn around for a contestant! The audience erupted too, everyone cheering for Zhou Yuzhe, applauding for her beauty and her singing! And then. Zhou Yuzhe cried. After singing the last word, her vibrato cut off, along with the musics end... When she saw all four coaches had turned around... She couldnt help covering her mouth and crying. This suppression might have been held in for too long, in such a highly visible situation, people are more sensitive, and Zhou Yuzhes tears just burst forth. Grandma Jia Yi, watching, also had slightly moist eyes, perhaps also recalling many things, feeling very complicated. Chen Wen, still using his old catchphrase, raised both hands: "Its unbelievable!" Stunning appearance! Skilled singing! Touching singing voice! Zhou Yuzhes presence ignited the entire stage! Netizens shouted out. "She sings so well!" "I cried listening!" "Me too!" "Ive become her fan now! Zhou Yuzhe is awesome!" "Support you to choose the path you like!" "Yes, dont go into business! Definitely keep singing! You should walk your own path!" "..." And her peers were silent again. Their faces were metaphorically slapped again by Lu Xiaobu. With facts, they showed them, not judging by looks, this isnt an ugly men and women concert! If someone sings really well and looks very pretty, isnt that even better! That previous poem echoed again in their minds. They bore bitter expressions, their faces burning with sting. Lu Xiaobu was telling themwhat you dont have, I have! What you do have, I have too, and even more! ... Lu Family. "Wow wow wow, she sings so well! Im enchanted!" Lu Wenhao exclaimed. "Cough cough, Xiaobu, do you have that girls contact info? Get it for your second brother." Lu Hongbin whispered. "Go on, go! I was just appreciating the singing, not that!" Lu Wenhao immediately protested. "Alright, its time for the next one," Lus father said with a chuckle. He wouldnt push too hard on matters of marriage, as that would only backfire. Liang Lan thought for a moment and then said to Lu Xiaobu, "Young Master, the next contestant is the one youve been looking forward to." "Oh!?" A smile formed on Lu Xiaobus lips. Chapter 418 - 416: Lin Feng’s Silence [4th Update, Bonus for Recommendation Tickets] Chapter 418: Chapter 416: Lin Fengs Silence [4th Update, Bonus for Recommendation Tickets]They were all waiting here. Suddenly, the sound of screeching brakes came from outside the door. Zhang Meng and Li Jin immediately stood up, one moved to the door, and the other to the window. The Lu family members all straightened up one after another. Who could it be at this hour? Outside, what pulled up was a large RV. Behind the RV, two police cars followed. It looked like they were providing an escort. The door slid open, and Lin Feng was the first to step out. He had learned another trick from Lu Xiaobu: apart from not being as fast, the RV was comfortable in every way compared to a sports car. So, he also got himself an RV. Seeing it was Lin Feng. Zhang Meng and Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief but still did not let down their guard. This Lin Fengs relationship with the Young Master was sometimes good, sometimes bad; who knew what he was here for this time. And judging from the tire tracks, there were definitely more than just him in the car. Sure enough. Just as they had expected. Two more people got out of the vehicle. An old lady and a middle-aged man. Both had faces full of astonishment and uncertainty, a mix of fear and confusion. "Lets go, come in." Lin Feng led the way to the Lu Familys doorstep. Zhang Meng had already opened the door: "Young Master Lin." "Yeah, is Lu Xiaobu home?" Lin Fengs gaze went straight inside the house. "What are you doing here at this time?!" Lu Xiaobu was quite impatient upon seeing Lin Fengs face. This guy was definitely here to cause trouble. "To watch TV." Lin Feng waved to the two people behind him: "Come in, I didnt lie to you, take a look, isnt that Lu Xiaobu?" The middle-aged man helped the old lady to tentatively step forward two steps, carefully taking a look. It wasnt until they saw Lu Xiaobus face that the two visibly sighed in relief. Earlier, just as the mother and son were preparing dinner at home, this young man barged in, insisting on taking them somewhere. Of course, they refused, their first instinct being to call the police. Later on, the young man actually called the police himself. In the end, the police also agreed to take them along and even offered an escort. This made the mother and son have no choice but to get into the car. Now, seeing that they had arrived at Lu Xiaobus home, they were much more at ease. After all, Lu Xiaobus reputation was still a good thing. "Please have a seat." Lu Hongbin quickly began to play host. Regardless of the reason, these were people brought by Lin Feng, and they couldnt be taken lightly. "Who are these two?" Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng moved aside, frowning with curiosity. Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Ask your Liang Lan, she knows." Lin Feng signaled and said: "Get me something to eat first, Im a bit hungry." "You really dont consider yourself an outsider, do you?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "Young Master, these two should be the family of the next contestant, Granny Wang and Mr. Zeng," suggested Liang Lan after some thought. "Thats right, Tian Jilan is still as efficient as ever," Lin Feng rarely complimented someone. "Family?" Lu Xiaobus brow furrowed. "Oh, its like this. The next contestant, that grandpa, had a falling out with his family over pursuing his dream, and he divorced his wife, the granny, seven or eight years ago," Liang Lan explained. "Oh, I see," Lu Xiaobu then looked towards Lin Feng again: "Whats it to you?" "Of course, its my business. I was there on-site, I was moved by that grandpa. You helped him fulfill his dream of singing, and I will help him fulfill the dream of getting his family to understand." Lin Feng muttered as he sipped his cola. He appeared indifferent, but a distinct look flashed across his eyes. To be honest, when he was on site, Seeing those young contestants talking about chasing their dreams and whatnot, He felt almost nothing. He might even scoff, thinking the pressure they spoke of was pressure? Why dont you try the pressure Im under?! However. When this elderly contestant came on stage and told his story, Lin Feng fell silent. The pressure on the young seemed trivial, but surely the burden this elder bore was enough! Yet, he bravely took that step forward and achieved success. This caused an unexpected stirring in Lin Fengs heart. There was lively chat on this side. On TV, the show had just officially begun. At the same time, Grandma Wang and Mr. Zengs emotions were also soothed. On TV. Contestant VCR. "My name is Zeng Chenggong, everyone calls me Old Zeng. Speaking of my life, it has been a total failure." "My dream is to be a singer, a dream I have cherished for forty years! Yes, from the age of twenty to sixty, Ive held onto it for forty years!" "Many friends say Im crazy, that Im immature; even my spouse who lived with me for decades divorced me over this eight years ago." "She told me to stop dreaming, at our age, to just accept our fate!" "But I Dont Agree! What does chasing dreams have to do with age?!" "Today, coming to this stage, I hope my spouse can see me, I hope my son can see me, I hope those old buddies who used to sing with me but have now given up can see me, I hope those who said I shouldnt have dreams can see me." "I want to tell them, maybe its not my fate, maybe I am wrong. But I, Old Zeng, havent given up. I, Old Zeng, Dont Agree!" The VCR ended. The contestant showed his face. The audience was taken aback. "Sixty years old?" "Dizzy, sixty already?" "Why is there an old man?" "Blind!" "Damn! The Voices contestant lineup is too damn complicated! Train drivers, PE teachers, bicycle repairers, and now retired elders?" "Lu Xiaobu, Im impressed with you!" "Pfft! Could it be any funnier?" "At this age, still joining a talent show?" "This elder really has courage, can he still sing at this age?" "Lu Xiaobu, are you messing around? Can his body take it?!" "Is he just a fill-in contestant?" "Isnt he going to dance in the square?" Even the insiders watching "The Voice" felt a sense of powerlessness from within, not understanding what Lu Xiaobu was trying to do, how could the auditions produce an old man? Only the four mentors on the screen looked puzzled, unaware of the astonished expressions of the audience below. Because they were the only four with their backs to the stage, unable to see the contestant C whether male or female, tall or short, what they looked like, or how old they were, they knew nothing. The audience in front of the TV were all caught between laughter and tears. They had seen oddballs, but never such an anomaly, a sixty-year-old in a talent competition? Still competing in singing? In other singing competitions. Forget sixty, even forty-year-olds are rarities, considered super-aged contestants. And they were typically eliminated in the first round, ending up as brief one-day appearances. After all, people of that age face a rapid decline in physical condition and vocal quality. What more for an elderly gentleman of sixty?! Elderly gentleman, dont go making a fuss with Lu Xiaobu! Really, our bodies cant take this! Chapter 419 - 417 I! Do! Not! Agree! 【5th Update, Asking for Recommendation Tickets】 Chapter 419: Chapter 417 I! Do! Not! Agree! 5th Update, Asking for Recommendation TicketsDifferent from other peoples reactions. At this moment, at the Lu familys. There are two guests. "My... my dad! Its my dad!" Mr. Zeng turned his head upon hearing the familiar voice, his eyes wide as bells, his hands trembling. "What?" Grandma Wang also had a shocked expression, quickly turning her head towards the TV, her eyes suddenly filled with complex emotions! "How did my dad get on TV?" Mr. Zeng was as shocked as if hed seen a ghost, even forgetting that they were not at their home, but at the Lu familys. "Lets go! Say goodbye to them!" Grandma Wang stayed silent for a moment, then stood up. "Mom..." Mr. Zeng stammered. "Lets go!" Grandma Wang said firmly. "Why are we just leaving like this, dont you understand? They invited us here just to watch my dad!" Mr. Zeng got anxious. "Youve been divorced from my dad for seven or eight years now, every time he calls, you hang up, every time he comes over, you dont open the door." "Even when the neighbors mention my dads name, you argue with them. What are you doing!" "My dad just likes to sing, its not a big mistake, why cant you move past this after all these years?" The Lu family listened to their conversation but didnt speak. This time was theirs! "Does he like singing? Hes obsessed! He values singing more than us!" Grandma Wang burst out angrily. "Back then you were young, your dad would always hold his guitar and sing, he even formed a band with his coworkers. Back then he was young, so it was fine." "But as he got older, he never changed. Pursuing some dream!" "He worked at the factory for twenty or thirty years, and just because of that impractical dream, he talked about buying out his years of service and then just quit." "What can the money from buying out his years of service do? Besides not having any other income, how did our family survive those years, you know it too!" Mr. Zengs lips trembled, but he still said, "Thats no reason for you to divorce my dad." Grandma Wang retorted harshly, "Singing when young is fine, but now hes an old man. Whats he still singing for, still dreaming of dreams?" "Each person has their fate, and his fate was just to be a worker. How could he still not give up at this age, not accept his fate!" "And now, look at the young people participating in talent shows. Whats he doing getting involved there! Who would like to listen to the rubbish he sings?" Grandma Wang really lost her temper! Mr. Zeng grimaced, "Ill watch if you wont, Ive never even properly heard my dad sing a single song. Every time he starts singing you argue with him!" The mother and son reached a deadlock. Father Lu quickly spoke up, "Old sister, were about the same age, I know those tough days, initially I had to raise these three kids alone, being both a father and a mother..." Father Lu and Grandma Wang were of similar age, and with these words, they managed to communicate somewhat. Of course, about the address, lets not mind it. As they continued to talk, Grandma Wangs attitude about leaving wasnt so firm anymore. Although her expression was still stubborn, she did not leave. ... On the screen. Under the gaze of countless viewers in front of the TV, Uncle Zeng went on stage. He held the microphone, not walking fast. He even had to step up the stairs one by one, unable to take two at a time. From this, it was evident that Uncle Zeng had aged, no longer having the stamina of young people. The audience became even more puzzled. Can this old man really do it? Can this old man truly sing? The lights are out, three, two, one, music begins! Its the sound of a guitar, and though the melody has changed, its still quite familiar; many recognize it instantly. This is one of Sun Wanqis very famous rock songs from her early rise to fame, covered by many, but never has an old man been heard singing it! "Is it I Dont Agree?" "Wow! Is it rock?" "Has he gone mad? An old man singing rock?" "What the heck?" "I thought he was going to sing some old songs from the 70s, why rock? Can a man of his age sing it?" "Is that alright? Watch out for the old mans health!" "It must be unbearable! Im speechless!" "Can it sound good?" "They got divorced over this? Definitely not worth it!" "Singing an old song is one thing, but rock? Youve been on the wrong path for forty years? Whats the point?" "Sticking to the wrong path is like heading south in a carriage facing north!" "Rock is the domain of the youth, right?" "..." On the screen, Old Man Zeng, faced with the dubious looks of the audience, acted as if it were all nothing. He was used to this; he had faced such situations countless times over the decades, confronted by countless such voices. He calmly lifted the microphone to his mouth, pouring all his experiences and emotions into the song. This was a song he wanted to sing just for himself! He opened his mouth. He warmed up his voice. "After countless efforts, I still grit my teeth and endure, even under others feet!" "After countless struggles, I still fiercely persist, though my dreams are still far away!" "After countless falls, Ive become staggering, though Im covered in bruises!" "After countless cries, my voice grows louder, though its hard to speak!" Old Man Zengs scream bought together his wrinkles. Layer upon layer. Those layers of wrinkles represented the years he had lived, and also the failures he had endured. Just as he said, he had never succeeded once, all was failure! Those failures piled up on his face, accumulated in his heart, but never stopped his steps! Suddenly, the viewers in front of the TV went silent! The set of "The Voice" also suddenly went quiet! Many people were shocked, their mouths agape, stunned by Old Man Zengs mature, hoarse bass. They couldnt believe their ears, couldnt believe this was a song sung by a sixty-year-old man! Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Equally shocked was Old Man Zengs son; his eyes wide, he found himself unable to speak, "This... my dad... this..." Grandma Wang watched her husband on the screen, scenes from the past flashing before her eyes. "Youre so old already!" "I dont want to just let it go." "Whats wrong with you, cant you just accept it?" "I wont accept!" "You have to accept it even if you dont! Cant you just live a normal life without dreaming?" "This is my only aspiration for a lifetime, can you support me just this once?" "Ive had enough, lets get a divorce!" "Xiaoyun! Let me try one more time! The last time! I can do it!" "No need to say more, its useless no matter how many times you try! Its just not your fate!" "..." Old Man Zengs bass voice subsided, and suddenly, a roaring high pitch burst unexpectedly from his throat like the explosion of a bomb! "I! DONT! AGREE!" Chapter 420 - 418 I Don’t Agree [First Update] Chapter 420: Chapter 418 I Dont Agree [First Update]Originally, Uncle Zeng had that kind of deep voice filled with a sense of tearing, now abruptly a high note came out, stunning the entire venue! "I! Dont! Agree!" "I Dont Agree! You judge me as an idler!" "I Dont Agree! You condemn me as good-for-nothing!" "I Dont Agree! You mock me for being na?ve!" "I Dont Agree! You persuade me that its time to give in!" Waves of high notes, the rock music scream, were igniting every household in front of their televisions! It exploded! "I Dont Agree! Even if my dream is far on the horizon!" Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I Dont Agree! Even though Im battered and bruised!" "I Dont Agree! Even though Im still beneath others!" "I Dont Agree! With the bleeding in my throat, I will not stop my scream!!!" The judges could no longer keep their composure! Sun Wanqi turned around! Jia Yi turned around! Chen Wen turned around! Fang Li turned around! All four judges pressed the button almost at the same time within a second! If such a roar didnt get acknowledged, it would truly be the throat bleeding for nothing! However! When they saw the contestants appearance, all four judges were shocked! Fang Li screamed, "Ah!" Jia Yi was also stupefied, "Oh my goodness!" Sun Wanqi was dumbfounded, "Is that an old man?" Chen Wen holding his head felt he couldnt take it, "Oh my god!" Listening from the stage, they knew this person should be somewhat aged. After all, the voice was mature and hoarse, revealing the experience in it. But in their hearts, they thought, at most he was about forty years old, right? And the result? Bloody hell, hes a sixty-something old codger?! Old codger, this is really a shocker! This scene truly startled all four of them. Theyd been in the music industry for so many years, and had never come across such a situation. To be honest, if they hadnt turned around earlier and someone told them that the singer was a sixty-something-year-old man, they would have scoffed. You gotta be kidding! This is bloody rock music! You want a sixty-something-year-old senior to sing rock?! Are you crazy, or are we? However! The truth is right here in front of us! Its this sixty-year-old codger! Who has blasted out the strength, soul, and emotion of rock music without missing a beat! And made all four of the judges turn around with boiling blood! I ask if youre convinced or not! Are you scared or not! The venue is roaring, the whole place is boiling! "God! God! God!" "Holy shit!" "Too awesome! Too fierce!" "This old man is so cool!" "Ahhh! Ive got goosebumps all over!" "Deadly handsome! The old man sings too well!" "Holy cow! How can it be sung so beautifully! This voice is even stronger than the young ones! Can this really be a sixty-year-old man? He looks like hes sixteen!" "Awesome!" "The Voice is amazing!" "This stage is so charismatic! This is music! This is singing!" "..." The audience is ecstatic! Everyone was screaming, and on the screen, you could see many of the live audience members even stood up, raising their hands, shaking in madness, completely hyped! At this moment, the music gradually smoothed out, the drumbeat faded. "Maybe, I indeed have been a bit frivolous." "Maybe, I really know nothing." "Maybe, I truly dont understand the ways of the world." "Maybe, my roar has long since lost its voice." The song ends! The music draws to its finale! Sun Wanqi already stood up to lead the applause! All the live audience also stood up, sending the warmest round of applause! ... Lu Family. Hearing her husbands roar earlier, Grandma Wang didnt react too much. But when the last few "maybes" came out... Grandma Wang suddenly covered her face and, without any warning, started crying, weeping intensely as if a dam had broken, unable to stop the flow of tears. Mr. Zeng exclaimed in surprise, "Mom! It turns out... it turns out my dad sings so well!" Grandma Wang sobbed uncontrollably, "Old Zeng! Wuuu wuuu!" Mr. Zeng sat quietly to the side. He might not always fully understand the grudges and complex feelings between his parents as their son. But seeing his mother in this state, he could guess that perhaps his mother had forgiven his father, perhaps his mother had understood his father! He decided that when he returned home he would let his parents remarry! Mr. Zengs phone began to ring incessantly. Surely they were inquiries from friends and relatives. But he didnt answer. Suddenly, he stood up, came over to Lin Feng, who was aside, and bowed deeply, "Thank you, sir. Although I do not know your name, I still want to thank you!" Lin Feng glanced at Mr. Zeng, didnt say anything, just turned away indifferently, asked Liang Lan for a cigar, and silently crouched down to smoke it. No one knew his thoughts at that moment. On TV. The battle between the coaches to recruit talent had ended. The coaches fought fiercely, but in the end, it was Sun Wanqi, the original singer of "I Dont Agree," who won over Old Mr. Zeng! Chen Wen was extremely disappointed, so frustrated that he slapped the table. But in the end, he raised his hand to lead the entire audience in cheering for Old Mr. Zeng: "Let us pay tribute to the elderly man who has persisted in his musical dream for most of his life without ever giving up! You sang so wonderfully! It was the most touching rock song I have ever heard! It was also the most moving voice Ive ever heard! No matter what happens in the future, in my heart, Zeng Chenggong is the champion of Good Voice!" "Zeng Chenggong!" "Zeng Chenggong!" "Zeng Chenggong!" "Zeng Chenggong!" The whole audience erupted, chanting Old Mr. Zengs name, the scene was incredibly spectacular! This was support for a dreamer who had pursued his dream for forty years! Forty years! How many forty years does a life have? Forty years of persistence, and Old Mr. Zeng finally proved himself on the stage of "Good Voice" to the whole country and the world, finally realizing that long overdue dream. Is there anything more joyful, more exciting than this? ... Lu Family. Old Mr. Zengs family members as well as others had left, sent away by Lu Xiaobu. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for them. Lin Feng also left; when he left, no one knew. Probably he didnt want to show any expression other than pride in front of Lu Xiaobu, the competitor he acknowledged! Lus father sat on the sofa, sitting quietly, then suddenly he stood up and walked to the garden. That was his mothers place. Presumably, he had something he wanted to say to his mother. The three Lu brothers also did not disturb Lus father. "Xiaobu, do you think I could participate?!" Lu Wenhuo suddenly said, his eyes lighting up. Remember his old dream of being a wandering musician? "Sure, why not? Go ahead, I never said you couldnt go. But, just so you know, theres no backdoor deals here." Having said that, Lu Xiaobu sized up Lu Wenhuo: "Hmm, whether you can pass the audition, I remain skeptical!" "Oh, you! Doubting your big brothers capabilities, are you?!" Lu Wenhuo immediately jumped onto the sofa, grabbed a water glass: "Come on, Ill sing a song for you!" "Help!" Lu Xiaobu took off running: "Someones out to get me!" "Stinker, dont you run away!" Lu Wenhuo yelled angrily! Chapter 421 - 419 Defying Heaven Again [2nd Update] Chapter 421: Chapter 419 Defying Heaven Again [2nd Update]The second episode of the show was a hit! "The Voice" was hot again! From when the program aired at 8:30 to its conclusion at 10:00, you could clearly see online that topics and posts about "The Voice" were exponentially skyrocketing. The entire internet was once again swept up in a feast named "The Voice." Countless people went crazy for "The Voice" once again, screaming their heads off! "Episode two was so awesome!" "I love Zhou Yuzhe!" "Whats Zhou Yuzhe compared to!" "Yeah, Grandpa Zeng is the real badass!" "Insanely good! Grandpa Zengs rock is crazy! Infinite likes!" "This episode is really powerful! Who the hell said The Voice second episode might not meet everyones expectations? It was quite the surprise and just as badass as the first episode!" "Freaking Lu Xiaobu is off the charts!" "..." The above comments are all about the contestants. The comments below are all about the show. "The Voice really took it to the ultimate level!" "With the second episode out, now no one should doubt The Voice anymore, right? Now you cant even find a tiny bit of reason to doubt it!" "Lu Xiaobu has created another miracle!" "I actually feel pain for those industry people!" "Hehe, not necessarily, I bet many of them are still not giving up, now they must be waiting for the ratings of The Voices second episode, after all, data is the most reliable!" "Im waiting too!" "Wonder how much it will be for the second episode." "The Voice is now unrivaled. If theres anyone who could break The Voices nearly three-year national variety show ratings record from the first episode, it can only be The Voice itself!" "..." Shimen TV Station. "Director Nie, can we still hold our celebration banquet?!" said Zhang Feng, rolling his eyes. "Its already the second episode, and we havent had our banquet yet." "You think I want this?! If Young Master Lu isnt in a good mood, what banquet are we supposed to hold?!" Director Nie rolled his eyes. "Director Nie, cant you think of a way? Youre the director after all." Elder Wang also persuaded from the side. Its not that they just wanted to eat that meal, but without a celebration banquet, it feels odd. Its like theyre a group of failing students who finally scored full marks, but neither the teachers nor the parents showed any appreciation. Not even a simple praise, and that feeling really sucks! This analogy isnt an exaggeration at all. You know, previously Shimen TV Station didnt even have programs with a 0.3% rating. And now? Skyrocketed! Directly broke 2%, over six times more, sweeping all domestic variety programs with an audacious attitude and directly taking the lead in the variety domain! Not to mention, the ratings for the second episode definitely wont be low. Is it an exaggeration to compare it to scoring full marks? Not at all! Even that might be an understatement! "I cant do anything about it, unless you go and ask them, seriously!" Director Nie rolled his eyes: "Get off work, well see the ratings tomorrow!" ... The next day. Around ten in the morning, the ratings came out! "The Voice" second episode rating: 2.17%! The ratings not only didnt drop but increased by an additional 0.1 percentage point from the first episode! You know, this increase is absolutely remarkable because the average rating for variety shows on Earth is around 0.5%, and the highest rating Shimen TV Stations previous programs got was just over 0.2%. So clearly, a 0.1% increase is no small number! When Director Nie and the others saw these ratings. Although they had prepared mentally, they were still shaken to the core! Damn terrifying! Lu Xiaobu alone took down their entire TV station! S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. No, not just one TV station, but in the variety circle, he took down all other programs. Unstoppable! Unmatched! This is an absolute slaughter! Its a war with no suspense! ... Online. Thousands of congratulations. "Although it was expected, its still too surprising!" "The ratings for the second episode not only didnt drop, but increased by 0.1 point!" "Thats terrifying! The Voice is going to break out of the universe!" "Damn! Damn!" "Come take a look, The Voice is defying the heavens again!" "Hahaha, those insiders who criticized The Voice can finally give up! They said: Their faces are swollen, going to take a rest now! Hahahaha!" "Congratulations to Lu Xiaobu!" "Thrilling, huh!" "With the stimulus from The Voice, the variety show industry is heating up as a whole, Lu Xiaobu not only saved Shimen TV Station but the entire variety show industry!" "Congratulations to The Voice for setting another record!" "This honor, The Voice truly deserves it!" "Lu Xiaobu is awesome!" "..." Well, its not just the netizens praise. Liang Lan cant stop smiling. Although Lu Groups advertisements are very brief and simple. They dont even mention the name of each product. But the exposure rate of Young Master Bus name is high. And currently, who doesnt know which products belong to the Lu Group?! So, these seemingly simple ads have brought huge profits to the Lu Group. Okay, the above is too convoluted. Lets simplify it. Young Master Bus ranking on the Third Level Rich List has already reached the top five! Are you scared? Convinced?! Excited?! Liang Lan is very excited, but Lu Xiaobu is on a phone call. Principal Li from Emperor Electric has called. "That, Xiaobu, youre temporarily done with things on your side, right?" Principal Li asked. "Yeah, nothing much right now," Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Then come over for the lecture!" Principal Li immediately said excitedly. "I..." Lu Xiaobu then realized, he seemed to have agreed to a lecture. Suddenly, he felt a massive headache. Speak on Youthful Heavenly Dynasty? What the hell will he speak! So. "Principal Li, what did you say just now?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "You come over for the lecture," Principal Li was stunned. "The sentence before that." Lu Xiaobu said. "Youre temporarily done with things on your side, right," Principal Li confused. "Yeah, no, really busy and dizzy," Lu Xiaobu stated with certainty. "Pfft!" Principal Li nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. Thats not how you play! You are clearly being a scoundrel! But, before he could say anything else. Lu Xiaobu had already hung up the phone. Principal Li rolled his eyes in frustration. "Ey, what to do? Do I really have to speak? Its tiring." Lu Xiaobu sprawled on the sofa, expressing his annoyance. He said what he said to Principal Li, but he would still do what he promised. Actually, if he spoke, he could ask the system for some materials to read out. But that kind of rote teaching, he really doesnt want to do it! How to handle it? Continue to play to his strengthswreck the place?! Cough, cough, cough! Chapter 422 - 420 Can’t Even Buckle Down [3rd Update, An Extra - for Every Blossoming Dream] Chapter 422: Chapter 420 Cant Even Buckle Down [3rd Update, An Extra Chapter for Every Blossoming Dream]Lu Xiaobu received a call from Principal Li and felt slightly annoyed. So, he decided to go out for a stroll to clear his mind. Yep, he just hopped on a plane and ended up in Imperial. This time he brought Zhang Meng and Li Jin. After all, the group was managing both "The Voice" and their usual business, so Liang Lan and Su Luoxue were both very busy. Upon arriving in Imperial, he didnt feel like visiting Emperor Electric to see Principal Li. So, he just took a detour and walked into a university not far from Emperor Electric. He didnt even catch the name of the university. It didnt matter anyway. He was just here for fun, since not many of the university students would recognize him. Lu Xiaobu was happy, although the beauties here werent as numerous as at Emperor Electric, nor were they of high quality. But they had novelty. So, the laser-eye mode was activated again. Tsk tsk tsk, those legs are beautiful! Wow, what a top-notch stunner! Hey, this girl has touchable hands, not much else, but these hands, beautiful! If used for... tsk tsk tsk! Anyway, fantasizing is harmless, Lu Xiaobu just let his imagination run wild to lighten his mood. Soon, his surroundings seemed to be enveloped by a familiar aura again. Every girl dared not come close. Hey, is there actually a girl daring to come close?! Nice! Start scanning, from bottom to top. Huh? The more I look, the more familiar she seems? And she dares to come closer?! sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Looking up to the top. Uh... Okay, its Wu Qianmin! At that moment, Wu Qianmins face was filled with joy: "Xiaobu, are you here to see me?" Recently, she hadnt been able to spend much time with Xiaobu. So, seeing Lu Xiaobu suddenly appearing at her school gave her an indescribable thrill. "Uh... I guess so." Lu Xiaobu touched his nose. Okay, how did I end up at Qianmins school? Well, thats just perfect. Let this little miss show me around! "Yay!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus response, Wu Qianmin jumped excitedly, grabbed Lu Xiaobus arm, and beamed with joy. Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrowOh, she seems well-fed these past few days, looking good. "What are you holding there?" Lu Xiaobu looked at the books in Wu Qianmins arms and asked, "Got class?" "Not really class, but our club has an event to attend," Wu Qianmin said cheerily. For some reason, seeing no other girls around Lu Xiaobu but herself, she always felt like laughing. "The Jealousy Club?" Lu Xiaobus face showed surprise, teasingly said: "Then you must be the big boss of the club." "Jealousy Club?" Wu Qianmin didnt catch on at first, then suddenly wrinkled her nose, "Youre annoying!" But while she said she was annoyed, her hands didnt let go of Lu Xiaobus arm at all. "Hahaha!" Lu Xiaobu looked at Wu Qianmins coquettish demeanor and was thrilled. "Seriously, Xiaobu, we are a literature club. Do you want to come?" Wu Qianmins eyes sparkled admiringly at Lu Xiaobu: "Xiaobu, you wouldnt believe that more than half of our club members are your fans." At this, Wu Qianmin proudly patted her chest: "And I am their fan club president!" You wouldnt know, Wu Qianmin is already a college student, but she still has that innocent and playful charm, you cant help but adore her. Men may like conquering an iceberg, but these little kittens that cuddle in your arms also ignite a strong protective desire in men! Didnt you see the drooling faces of the boys around them? "My fans?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin: "Does your club like cursing?" "Phew!" Wu Qianmin felt a pain in her heart. Does your literary society specialize in studying curses? Literature club, literature club, of course, they admire your literature. Wait... hold on, what Xiaobu said wasnt wrong. Isnt every piece written by Xiaobu somewhat scathing? It doesnt seem wrong to say that their literary society likes to curse people. Thats it, I cant think straight anymore. Forget it, I dont want to think anymore; as long as Xiaobu is by my side, Im happy, hehehe! "Lets go, lets go, I want to show off properly!" Wu Qianmin, hugging Lu Xiaobus arm, walked toward their societys spot. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu followed Wu Qianmin with a smile. No kidding, that pair of arms might not be big, but they are definitely comfortable... cough cough cough! Walking, walking. "Eh, Qianmin, what are you planning to do?" A wicked smile played at the corners of Lu Xiaobus mouth. "Planning to do what?" Wu Qianmin was somewhat puzzled. Her delicate, pretty face looked adorably clueless. Awesome! "If youre not planning to do anything, then why are you taking me to this grove?" The smile on Lu Xiaobus lips grew wider as he glanced around and chuckled. "Grove? Eh! Ha! Ah!?" Wu Qianmin looked around and was immediately startled, her pretty face turning red all at once. Shes no fool; she understood! The atmosphere was about to turn ambiguous. Suddenly, her body involuntarily softened. Seeing this, Lu Xiaobu thought, what are we waiting for? He immediately pinned Wu Qianmin against a tree and kissed her tempting red lips. As Wu Qianmin watched Lu Xiaobus face getting closer, it felt like her heart was pounding uncontrollably. Her face got even more flushed, as if it could drip blood. Yet, there wasnt a single thought of rejection in her heart. In fact, she even felt a bit eager. Opportunities of being alone like this were rare. Zhang Meng and Li Jin exchanged glances and gave a wry smile. This came out of nowhere; they couldnt even react in time. Now, they could only turn their backs and look up at the sky. At this moment. Zhang Meng suddenly turned around, hearing footsteps. "Let go of that girl!" Then a voice immediately came through. Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, great, interrupted again. But it was normal; after all, this was a university, and it was broad daylight. Even in a grove, it was possible to encounter nosy people. He hadnt planned a live show here, so pausing it was just fine. He didnt care! But Wu Qianmin was in a rush. What is this?! Thats not fair. This girl might have been influenced by being too feisty. She actually became bold. She, actually tiptoed and initiated a strong kiss with Lu Xiaobu. Their lips touched. The first thought in Wu Qianmins mind at that moment was, Xiaobu got taller again. Then, she closed her eyes and began to enjoy the moment. As for Lu Xiaobu, being a man, he definitely couldnt refuse! Munch away! They were there, all lovey-dovey, yet it completely infuriated the person who intervened just now! "Truly audacious! How preposterous! Someone dares to touch the woman I fancy!" These words were spoken with immense anger and arrogance. Then! He was slapped by Zhang Meng against the wall, stuck and unable to come down! Who do you think you are! Chapter 424 - 422 I’ll Take It [5th Update, Seeking Monthly Passes] Chapter 424: Chapter 422 Ill Take It [5th Update, Seeking Monthly Passes]Hearing that he was recognized, Lu Xiaobu wasnt surprised at all. Since Wu Qianmin said that there were fans of his in the literature club, it was normal for someone to recognize him. And the other members of the literature club, after hearing what that member said, turned their gazes towards Lu Xiaobu. As Lu Xiaobus figure overlapped with the one in their memories. They slowly all recognized Lu Xiaobu. "Its Lu Xiaobu!" "Really Lu Xiaobu himself!" "Oh my god! I actually saw him in person!" "Young Master Bu, can you talk about Youthful Heavenly Dynasty?" "Yes! Yes! Im a loyal fan of yours!" "..." It was just an instant when Lu Xiaobus identity was exposed. The members of the literature club that had been surrounding Yu Jian, except for a few die-hards, nearly all came to Lu Xiaobus side without exception. They were fawning over him in all kinds of ways. On one hand for literature, and on the other hand also for money. After all, it was well-known that Lu Xiaobu was generous! At this moment, looking at the face of Yu Jian who acted like a saint but was actually a slut. It was truly a mixture of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet; sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, astringent, numbing, salty, and everything in between! "You are Lu Xiaobu!?" Yu Jians facial features twisted together. The sour rot of his so-called literary persona, coupled with the arrogance of a wealthy second-generation, fermented into an unbearably pungent stench! "Just because youre Lu Xiaobu, why didnt you reveal your identity?! Are you playing tricks on me?!" Yu Jian roared out loud. Honestly, who knows why he suddenly got so angry. "Right." Lu Xiaobu nodded sincerely: "I am playing tricks on you!" "Pfft!" Yu Jian felt a sudden pain in his chest. Damn it, how to respond to this?! "Really, knowing full well I was playing you, you still had to have it confirmed, are you sick in the head?!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and sneered. "Pfft!" Yu Jian felt pain in his chest once again! He was so angry that he started to tremble. The members of the literature club beside him shuddered as they watched Yu Jians reaction. Definitely the real Lu Xiaobu, since there are few who would confront people so directly like him! "So what if you are Lu Xiaobu? My Yu Family ranks higher than you!" Yu Jian was still struggling like a trapped beast, trying to grasp some sense of dignity. "Is that so?" Lu Xiaobu took a moment to clear his ears: "Even if Im not concerned about that, I know Im already number five, right?! What is your Yu Family ranked?!" "What?!" Yu Jian was suddenly shocked and quickly took out his phone to check. Result. There it was, clearly written on the leaderboard. Third Level Rich List number fiveLu Xiaobu. Third Level Rich List number sixYu Chengwei. Yu Chengwei is his dad, which also represents the Yu Family. In other words, this Lu Xiaobu had actually pushed their Yu Family down?! How could this be?! He clearly saw just yesterday Lu Xiaobu was still ranked below their Yu Family. He even boasted about this to the people in the literature club this morning. But the day hadnt even ended yet. And Lu Xiaobu had climbed above them! Suddenly, he felt a burning pain on his face! Damn, this slap came too fast. "Oh, by the way, leaving aside the rankings for now, I am a contemporary of your dad, what should you call me!?" Lu Xiaobu said with a mischievous smile. With these words, the whole place fell silent! Everyones gaze was fixed on Yu Jian. Because, Lu Xiaobu wasnt wrong. Both Lu Xiaobu and Yu Chengwei are listed on the Third Level Rich List, and even now, Lu Xiaobu ranks one place higher than Yu Chengwei! To say they belong to the same generation, theres absolutely no problem with that. After all, when Lu Xiaobu and Yu Chengwei meet, they definitely consider each other equals. Then the question arises, what should Yu Chengweis sonYu Jiancall Lu Xiaobu?! Yu Jians face finally settled on a colorit turned greenish-black! Damn it! Is this really necessary?! He looked around at the faces of the onlookers and wished he could just crawl into a hole and hide. Shit, this is too fucking embarrassing! Suddenly, he had a brainwave and said to Lu Xiaobu, "Lets not talk about that. I am a man of letters, and you seem to be too. How about we determine the winner through literature?" He wanted to beat this Lu Xiaobu using his strongest suit. Perhaps in terms of family background, they were evenly matched...well, slightly outdone... um... not by much anyway! But when it comes to literature, he was unafraid of this Lu Xiaobu. "Psycho, Im not competing." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and was speechless. Why cant I shake off the topic of literature lately?! Every damn day its literature, literature, literatureis there even enough time for me to study literature? Id rather study biology or life sciences, okay? What? Dont understand? Think harder! Ill add a voice-over for you! Heh heh heh! Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Get it now? Cough cough cough! Besides, in the business realm, Liang Lan and Su Luoxue handle matters, so I dont need to get involved, but with literature? Id tire myself out dealing with it every damn day! And at this moment, suddenly someone dashed out and stormed towards Lu Xiaobu in just a few steps. Zhang Meng immediately stepped aside, blocking this persons inevitable path. This was a girl. With a bun atop her head, large black-rimmed glasses, and clothes that are definitely clean but baggy, giving off a sloppy vibe. This girls eyes shined with fervent emotion, and when she saw Zhang Meng blocking her way, she didnt speak. Instead, she sidestepped twice, trying to bypass Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng wouldnt possibly let her get by. So, no matter how the girl tried to circle around, Zhang Meng always firmly stood in front of her. And whats more frustrating, this girl was stubbornly persistent, just moving around and around non-stop. Wu Qianmin suddenly shouted, "Club president?! Why are you here?" "Your club president?!" Lu Xiaobu looked at the sloppy girl, twitching at the corner of his mouth. Well, indeed, this world is full of wonders! Could this be the legendary female top student?! But since he recognized her, Lu Xiaobu spoke out, "Zhang Meng, let her through." "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng stepped aside, clearing the path. On seeing this, the girls eyes sparkled, and she rushed straight toward Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu looked at the girls unwavering stride and suddenly had his doubtswhat is this top female student up to?! As the distance closed, closer and closer! Then! "Smack!" The girl carefully took out a notebook from inside her baggy clothes and placed it in front of Lu Xiaobu. At that moment, her face held an expression of pilgrimage, as if she was conducting some sort of sacred ceremony. This was an attitude that took something to the absolute extreme. After Lu Xiaobu finished reading, his eyes lit up with admiration! This, Ill definitely take! Chapter 425 - 423 Swordsman’s Sparring [First Update] Chapter 425: Chapter 423 Swordsmans Sparring [First Update]The academic prodigy pulled out a notebook. Although she seemed unkempt, her handwriting was truly beautiful, a pleasure to look at. More importantly, it was what was written inside. "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" analysis! This was undoubtedly her personal interpretation and analysis, integrating the history of this world. "I dont know if my analysis is correct or not, but please, you must take a look and point out any mistakes for me, thank you! Thank you!" She bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle and stepped back, her attitude showing boundless enthusiasm. "Okay, Ill take a look." Lu Xiaobu didnt waste words, taking the notebook and starting to read. The more he read, the happier Lu Xiaobu became, the more excited he grew. This girls literary foundation was definitely solid, and even he, who had read the original analysis on Earth, couldnt help but give her a thumbs up. Furthermore, the key aspect was the integration with history mentioned above. This was the part that Lu Xiaobu found most troublesome, after all, if he accidentally mentioned something that didnt exist in this world, that would be awkward! However, now it was resolved by her. A talent! Truly a talent! Lu Xiaobus eyes shone. Remember what was troubling him now? That was the literary matters that were too many to handle! But, if he could recruit this girl for his own use, then all literary matters would be handled by a specialist! No, this person, I must have her! "How about you join me?" Lu Xiaobu asked, still as straightforward as ever. He believed that this girl, with such admiration for him, should be easy to recruit under his command. However. "Sorry, I refuse." She made her refusal clear. "Why!" Lu Xiaobu dug deeper. "I have a teacher." "What if your teacher tells you to follow me?" "Thats impossible." "What if?" "Then Id accept. After all, I admire you!" "Fine, where is your teacher?" "Over there, by the little stream." "Take me there." "Okay." The conversation between Lu Xiaobu and the girl stunned the onlookers. What kind of communication was this?! So refreshingly unconventional, straightforward, and simple?! Goodness, are both of your thought processes abnormal?! What youre discussing isnt something like what to eat for lunch today, but rather a serious matter of accepting mentorship! Im impressed! Truly impressed! Regardless of what they thought, clearly there was no place for them to speak here. Lu Xiaobu and the girl made their way to what was supposedly the literary clubs gathering place, to meet the girls teacher. ... Before even arriving, one could mysteriously feel a sense of coolness. This piqued Lu Xiaobus interest, somewhat excited; this schools dating Holy Landthe small woodsactually harbored such a serene spot? Indeed rare! Taking a few more steps forward, they went around a couple of trees. A quiet stream appeared before their eyes. The stream wasnt very large, but it flowed gently and was exceptionally clear. Not only that, but they also saw a man with his back to Lu Xiaobu. He looked slim, with a somewhat frail appearance, yet his spine was straight, possessing a sense of resilience. Like seaweed... pah, like a bamboo! "Is there a visitor?" The man stood up, looking at Lu Xiaobu and the female academic prodigy with a gentle smile. This man wore glasses, his demure appearance hardly concealing the distinct sense of sharpness on his face. "Yes, teacher, this is Lu Xiaobu." The female academic prodigy bowed to the man, speaking respectfully. "Wow, Mr. Lu, Ive long heard of your great fame, and today I finally get to meet you!" Upon hearing the introduction from the female academic prodigy, the man became very excited, hurriedly taking two steps forward. But then he thought for a second, returned to his senses, washed his hands in the stream, before approaching again: "My humble name is Liu Chen. Ive long heard of the gentlemans great talent, your work Youthful Heavenly Dynasty has amazed all quarters, its a pleasure to finally meet you!" "Hold on, cant we just talk normally?!" Lu Xiaobu and Liu Chen shook hands, Lu Xiaobu speaking with a pained expression. Truly a worthy teacher of the female academic prodigy, even his thought process is peculiar. And the students of the literary society were astounded. "Teacher Liu actually holds Lu Xiaobu in such high regard?!" "Oh my god! I really didnt expect this!" "..." The students of the literary society were overcome with shock. Teacher Liu was an exceedingly special presence in their school; even the principal didnt dare provoke him too much. After all, Teacher Liu was a member of the writers association. It is even said that he holds a high position there. But what about today? This incredible Teacher Liu was showing such deference in front of Lu Xiaobu. That was truly terrifying! "Alright, alright, lets talk normally. I got a bit carried away just now, please forgive me!" Liu Chen apologized. "Its all good, its all good. Actually, theres nothing much, Im just interested in your student and would like her to follow me in the future, what do you think?" Lu Xiaobu continued in a straightforward manner: "Whatever conditions you have, feel free to mention them." "Hmmm..." Hearing Lu Xiaobus proposal, Liu Chen looked at the female academic prodigy and then at Lu Xiaobu, lost in thought. He certainly knew how much his student admired Lu Xiaobu. More than he ever could. If she could follow Lu Xiaobu, she would definitely be willing. But, he was her teacher after all, and had to consider a bit more for his student. So. "How about this, Ive only been exposed to Mr. Lus literary achievements through Youthful Heavenly Dynasty and that anonymous poem. Although that already speaks volumes about Mr. Lus literary foundation, I would like to verify it further. How does Mr. Lu feel about this?" Liu Chen had agreed to speak normally, but still carried a literary air about him. Actually, his previous statement meant just one thing - he wanted to test Lu Xiaobu. "Sure." Lu Xiaobu was not one to shrink back. Hed set his sights on the female academic prodigy. A test? Bring it on! Whos afraid? Itll probably be a literary question. The old method - just get the system to find something for him! After all, once he got the female academic prodigy on his side, he would no longer have to personally deal with literary matters! So, let it be tiring this time around! But afterwards, it will be a breeze! "What test?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "How about matching couplets?" Liu Chen smiled: "Its quite fundamental." Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Sure." Lu Xiaobu shrugged, nonchalant. "Then lets officially start." Liu Chens gaze suddenly became sharp: "Men of letters have been competitive since ancient times, I wont be holding back." "Please." Lu Xiaobu was neither sad nor happy, his expression calm. A great battle is on the brink of breaking out! The surrounding students suddenly became tense. For men of letters, a couplet contest is like two swordsmen crossing blades! Definitely a match bound to be extraordinarily splendid. Chapter 426 - 424 Difficult? [2nd Update] Chapter 426: Chapter 424 Difficult? [2nd Update]Since the topic was set. Liu Chen no longer held back, turned around, took out the four treasures of the study from beside him, and placed them on a small stone table next to him. Picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and completed it with a flourish. The members of the Literature Club all exclaimed in admiration. "Its been a long time since Ive seen the teacher writes!" "Yes, the teachers handwriting is still so bold and powerful, full of pride!" "Today is really a blessing." "..." Put down the brush. The first line of the couplet was presented. The tides of the sea keep ebbing and flowing. The students around furrowed their brows. What kind of first line is this? What does it even mean? Its just not apparent at all! Even the top female student and Yu Jian stared at the second line, pondering, and tried reading it several times but couldnt figure it out. If you cant even read it correctly, how can you match it? Honestly, if it werent for the fact that their teacher wrote this couplet, they probably would have asked if this was a couplet or a tongue twister? So many "tides"! But still, theres that saying, if the teacher wrote it, then there must be no mistake. Thus. "Lu Xiaobu, our teacher has already written the first line, now write the second line! Arent you very capable?" Yu Jian, this little brat, immediately jumped out. As a result. He dared to jump out, only to be slapped back down. "Talking nonsense! How can matching a couplet be so quick? Stop causing trouble! You shut up!" Liu Chen scolded, directly pushing Yu Jian back with a slap. This made Yu Jian really angry. He felt indignant, as he was just trying to support his teacher, yet he was being stopped. The members of the Literature Club whispered to him. "Vice President, what are you thinking? The teacher has just presented the first line, and you are being too aggressive, showing the teacher as narrow-minded, and besides, if Lu Xiaobu really matched it so quickly, whose face would it slap?" "Yes, Vice President, youre too impatient." "That shouldnt be the way." "..." Listening to the students of the Literature Club advising him, Yu Jian probably understood. But he was too embarrassed to admit his mistake, so he stayed quiet on the side, eyes fixed on the first line written by Liu Chen. He wanted to match the second line sooner than Lu Xiaobu. Of course, the first step now is to read it through. The top female student, also fixated on the first line, her lips moving rapidly and continuously. She was trying, trying to read it out, trying to match it, trying to crack the secret within. Wu Qianmin, as a member of the Literature Club, naturally found this kind of couplet interesting, but her level was too low, she was straight-up confused. And most notably, there were Zhang Meng and Li Jin. These brothers actually showed interest in this couple. Of course, the nonsense part was predominant. "It wouldnt be, the wind blows and blows and blows and blows and blows and blows and blows, would it?" Li Jin was a bit more brazen than Zhang Meng, looked at the couplet, thought for a moment, and then suggested something. Well, blowing that much, it must be a tornado. "I rather Rui Zi walks and walks and walks and walks and walks and walks and walks on you." Zhang Meng rolled his eyes, speechlessly said. "Look at you, officer, you even play games." Li Jin immediately pushed his advantage. Even Liu Chen couldnt help but look a bit smug: "Mr. Lu, if this question is too difficult, I can change it. It was just for fun in the first place." Yes, from start to finish, he never thought this first line of the couplet could be matched. After all, even he himself did not have a suitable second line. "Change? No need, lets stick with this one." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "You know what, Qianmin, I say you write it." His sloppy character writing, its better not to embarrass oneself by showing it. "Still." Wu Qianmin nodded. "Endless clouds continuously disappear." Lu Xiaobu said calmly. Seeing this lower couplet, everyone at the scene fell into silence. Well, its not shock, its confusion. Because this lower couplet, on the surface, seems to follow the same pattern as the upper coupletthey are both incomprehensible. However, although both are incomprehensible, the attitudes towards them are completely opposite. When Liu Chen just wrote his, although everyone didnt understand it, they never doubted. Yet now that Lu Xiaobu has written it, everyones faces are filled with doubt. "What is this?" "Is Lu Xiaobu considering simply typing a few characters as a lower couplet?" "Exactly, if thats the case, even I could do it, the upper couplet cannot be that simple." "This is blindly matching, endlessly long? What is this even about!" "..." The other people were still whispering softly, but Yu Jian had no such reservations. "Its complete nonsense! It only matches formally in characters, but the profound meaning and artistic conception of the teachers upper couplet cant possibly match this disorderly lower couplet." Yu Jians words made the surrounding people nod in agreement. Even the top female student couldnt help but nod silently. It was mainly because there wasnt enough time! Although Lu Xiaobus literary foundation is definitely stronger than hers, she isnt weak either. She hasnt even fully grasped the meaning of the upper couplet yet, and Lu Xiaobus lower couplet is already out. Who would believe its not made up? Wu Qianmin was puffing her cheeks, looking at Yu Jian irritably: "Youre the one making things up, what else can you do besides spouting nonsense?" "You!" Yu Jian was rendered speechless by Wu Qianmin. Its not that he couldnt respond, but his ultimate goal was Wu Qianmin, and now with her retorting him, how could he counter?! But amid the voices of retort, Liu Chens eyes were filled with solemnity: "Mr. Lu, how should your lower couplet be read?" Just now, Lu Xiaobu hadnt paused in his words, just continuously speaking it out. "How should your upper couplet be read?" Lu Xiaobu remained unaffected, as casual as ever. "My upper couplet is..." Liu Chen read: "The sea tide ebbs, day by day it withdraws, the morning tide recedes." Once the pronunciation was read out, the repeating "morning" became very clear. The top female student, Yu Jian, and the literature club members all had a sudden realization, so thats how it is! So it should be read this way! The hidden depth was so profound! Its a couplet of homophones! Such a couplet is incredibly difficult to match! Because its extremely complicated! And the lower couplet must also match precisely? Sar?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Impossible! Wu Qianmin, astonished, stuck out her little tongue: "Its really that difficult." Zhang Meng glanced at Li Jin: "Not boasting about your tornado anymore?" "Mine was a typhoon," Li Jin stubbornly said. They werent worried about the Young Master at all; they were just messing around. Liu Chen looked at Lu Xiaobu: "Mr. Lu, yours?" "The sea tide ebbs, day by day it withdraws, the morning tide recedes," Lu Xiaobu repeated Liu Chens upper couplet once more, then slightly smiled and shared his own lower couplet: "Floating clouds rise, continuously they rise, continuously they fade!" When Lu Xiaobu recited his lower couplet, the expressions of the literature club students visibly changed from indifference to utter astonishment! Yu Jian was stunned! The top female student also watched incredulously! At this moment, in this small grove, only the sound of the babbling brook could be heard! The whole hall was shocked! Chapter 427 - 425: Deadly Moves [3rd Update, 30,000 recommendation votes for additional release] Chapter 427: Chapter 425: Deadly Moves [3rd Update, 30,000 recommendation votes for additional release]The woods were deathly quiet. It was really silent as a graveyard! Tides of the sea, morning tides, do morning tides ebb away? Expanding clouds, continuous growth, do they grow only to fade? No one expected that Lu Xiaobus seemingly ordinary string of "longs" was actually hiding a profound mystery! Yu Jian found it hard to believe as he swallowed his saliva and exclaimed in a lost voice, "This... this really matches?" He couldnt believe it, but the fact was right before his eyes; their teachers extremely tricky question had been answered correctly, and the answer fit perfectly! The top female student was also stunned. Only now did she realize the meaning of the couplet. And how long did it take for Lu Xiaobu to figure it out?! She hadnt figured it out yet, but Lu Xiaobu had already come up with the answer. Just how talented is Lu Xiaobu? Flow looked at Lu Xiaobu, staring at him for several seconds, then burst into hearty laughter: "Indeed! Indeed, the teacher is truly talented!" Then he stopped laughing, stood up straight, and said, "This is really beyond my expectations. Today has really surprised me. Shilin will definitely learn a lot by following you. I agree." He had been studying this couplet for several months already, and now Lu Xiaobu had matched it in such a short time, which was quite astonishing to him. So, he was no longer nitpicking! At this time, Lu Xiaobu finally found out that the top female students name was Shilin. Just by hearing the name, he knew she must be literary. And Lu Xiaobu was happy as well. Its best not to continue; saving a bit of effort is still saving effort. Wu Qianmin was also pleased, looking at Yu Jian: "Got slapped in the face, didnt you? Dared to say Xiaobu wasnt up to it!" Yu Jians face turned green! Damn it, Lu Xiaobu actually matched it! It really was a case of losing the wife and the army! However. "Thats not right!" The top female studentZhang Shilin suddenly spoke up: "Teacher, you went easy on him!" "Pfft!" Liu Chen felt a pang in his chest. My silly disciple, do you have to be so blunt?! And that was already enough! "What do you mean?" Yu Jian suddenly interjected: "Are you saying that Lu Xiaobus answer is incorrect?" "I dont know, but I know that the teachers couplet has other readings, other interpretations." Zhang Shilin, worthy of being Liu Chens proud disciple, deduced the second layer of meaning after Liu Chen explained the first. "That is to say, Lu Xiaobu wasnt entirely correct!" Yu Jian was immediately overjoyed. Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu cant cut it, huh! Acting all high and mighty, now youve made a fool of yourself! Seeing this situation, Lu Xiaobu sighed, realizing he wouldnt be able to get away with being lazy. This was really... "Teacher Liu, please continue!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "Do you really want to continue?" Liu Chen felt somewhat reluctant: "My couplet has many interpretations." After all, if they continued, it was very possible that Lu Xiaobu would lose face. It would be awkward for everyone. "Its okay, continue," said Lu Xiaobu calmly: "Coincidentally, my response also has many interpretations!" Losing was not an option, not in this lifetime. He must recruit this top female student under his command! Now it was Liu Chens turn to be stunned; skeptical, he said, "Huh? You have one too?" Wu Qianmin touched her chin, withholding comment. Although she believed in Lu Xiaobu, her instincts told her that it was pretty good to just match one layer of meaning in that amount of time. After all, Liu Chens couplet must have taken who knows how long to craft. But Xiaobu, he only looked at it for a few minutes?! The top female student was also disbelieving. Yu Jian was even more dismissiveimpossible! He thought to himself, Lu Xiaobu, just keep on boasting! He wasnt as quick to react as the female academic prodigy, but he wasnt satisfied either; by now he had grasped all there was to know about this first couplet. The sea water tides again and again and falls? Actually, the word "again" in the middle can be segmented differently. Once you change the way its read, the artistic conception becomes completely different. And even the intended meanings are poles apart. This is filled with scholarly knowledge! This must be Teacher Lius masterpiece! Ridiculous Lu Xiaobu, what kind of scholarly knowledge could your long long long long long possibly have? Its nothing but a fluke that you stumbled upon one layer of interpretation and segmentation of this first couplet! What are you still boasting about? Acting all puffed up! Members of the literature club were also discussing in hushed tones. "No way." "Yeah, although Lu Xiaobu is really awesome, hes still a bit lacking compared to Teacher Liu." "Yes, yes! I also think it doesnt work!" "..." Not minding the discussions around him, Liu Chen was already stirred up by Lu Xiaobus words, his interest and competitive spirit ignited: "Alright then, shall we give it a try? Are you sure youve prepared and thought everything through? My first couplet has many variations!" "Come on, cut the chatter." Lu Xiaobu said with a yawn. He had originally thought to just muddle through with his previous performance. But that wasnt going to cut it! Fine, if its a fight you want, its a fight youll get! "The sea water rises, day by day, day by day it falls!" Liu Chen slightly closed his eyes, stood with hands behind his back. As soon as the couplet battle began, everyone in the literature club fell silent, shifting their gazes over; they wanted to see whether Lu Xiaobu had what it takes! Teacher Liu said his first couplet has many variations and different ways of reading, and everyone believed him because he is Teacher Liu, a senior figure in the writers association, someone even the principal wouldnt dare to offend. But Lu Xiaobu said his second couplet held mysteries? The crowd was somewhat skeptical. This is the difference between circles; you can say Lu Xiaobu makes money, all tied up together they still couldnt match Lu Xiaobu, but when it comes to couplets, they retained absolute skepticism! Look at Teacher Lius first couplet! This time, the way of reading and the usage of the words were different! Compared with the couplet Liu Teacher and Lu Xiaobu matched before... That previous one was more inclined towards grand rises and falls, wide openings and closings, like a heavy sword without edge, great skill with no gimmickry! Yet, now, this first couplet with changed pronunciation was closer to nature, its artistic conception turned upside down. It had the feel of a gentle breeze and drizzling rain, but with a lingering sword technique that couldnt be splashed away. Though its still technically a couplet, "the sea water tides again and again and falls," in reality, it was a completely different first couplet now! Lu Xiaobu definitely couldnt handle this! Such a complete reversal of conception isnt as simple as one plus two or two plus one! Yet Lu Xiaobu, with utter boredom, gestured dismissively: "The drifting clouds rise, rise long and long, long and long they dissipate!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus second couplet, the crowd was a bit slow to process! What? This second couplet... Holy crap! It matches? Damn, your second couplet really has variations, huh?! Liu Chens eyes also brightened: "The sea water rises, day by day rises, day by day falls!" This time, not only the reading and the meaning of the words changed, but even the break-up of the lines was different, in a three-four-three pattern. Lu Xiaobu scratched his head: "The drifting clouds rise, long long rise, long long dissipate!" Liu Chen leaned forward: "The sea water tides, tide by tide, tide by tide falls!" Lu Xiaobu yawned: "The drifting clouds rise, rise long rise, long rise dissipates!" Liu Chens emotions grew more intense: "The sea water tides in the morning, morning by morning tides, morning by morning falls!" Lu Xiaobus eyelids began to sag: "The drifting clouds grow long, long and long rise, long and long dissipate!" The spectators only felt dazzled, as if watching two swordsmen come and go, advancing and retreating. Flashes of knives and shadows of swords, each move potentially fatal!

Chapter 428 - 426: Admitting Defeat [Fourth Update 3.1k Bonus Chapter for Votes] Chapter 428: Chapter 426: Admitting Defeat [Fourth Update 3.1k Bonus Chapter for Votes]Listening to the battle of wits between Liu Chen and Lu Xiaobu. Everyone present, without exception, was dumbfounded, listening to their exchange of couplets like statues! They felt their brains werent up to the task, this was a duel of top Jianghu swordsmen, not something little shrimps like them could participate in. They could only listen, only to be continuously shocked by the clever couplets of the two, time and again! Damn, thankfully this wasnt a real martial confrontation, otherwise, theyd probably be injured by the Sword Qi! Liu Chen paced back and forth: "The sea welcomes the tide, tide after tide it ebbs away!" Lu Xiaobu, sleepy-headed: "The clouds billow unceasingly, growing and shrinking, they fade away!" Liu Chens face flushed with excitement: "The sea welcomes the tide, tide after tide it recedes!" Lu Xiaobu was only kept awake by Wu Qianmins call: "The clouds billow unceasingly, swelling and shrinking, they dissipate!" Can this work? Do these actually match? Liu Chen was so excited he was nearly crazed, like a swordsman possessed, with eyes only for the sword, ready to unleash his grand move: "The sea greets the morning tide, the tide each morning it falls!" This time its a five-five split phrase. Lu Xiaobu nodded constantly, sleepy: "The clouds grow incessantly, swelling and shrinking, they vanish!" Liu Chen, relentless, each move lethal: "The seas tide greets the dawn, dawn after dawn it ebbs away!" Lu Xiaobu, slow and easy, like idle clouds and wild cranes: "The clouds grow long and strong, billowing and shrinking, they fade away!" Finally. Liu Chen hits Myriad Swords Return to the Origin, the formless trumps the tangible: "The last one, the sea greets the dawns tide, the tide at dawn recedes!" This time its an irregular six-four split phrase. The formless trumps the tangible! Lu Xiaobu stands up, stretches lazily: "Finally over, the clouds grow long, long and strong, swelling and shrinking!" As the final phrase matched, the woods suddenly erupted into chaos! "Holy moly!" "Holy crap! What the heck!" "What the hell did I just hear?" "How could this even work!" "..." Lu Xiaobu actually matched them! Matched them all! Every single variant couplet matched! And not just barely matched, but perfectly seamlessly! Is this even human?! Lu Xiaobu, are you still human?! The female top students face filled with astonishment, at a loss for words. Her heart was a mix of excitement, shock, and disbelief! Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Yu Jian felt the same shock and disbelief in his heart! Even a trace of fear! Yet, the young lass Wu Qianmin was excitedly delirious: "Oh yeah! Xiaobu is awesome! Too awesome!" Without thinking, she jumped next to Lu Xiaobu. Aiming at Lu Xiaobus cheek, she gave him a smooch! Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a smilethis Wu Qianmin was no fiery pepper, such initiative from her was truly rare! While they were astonished, Liu Chen was feeling utterly carefree and refreshed, soaked in sweat as if he had just finished exercising: "Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!" He shouted awesome thrice and then, facing Lu Xiaobu, he gave a bow with clasped hands: "Sir, your talent is unparalleled, Chen admits defeat!" He pondered his own first line for months, took it to the Writers Association, but no one there could match it. Even he himself hadnt come up with an answer yet. But now, Lu Xiaobu had solved it. And how long did Lu Xiaobu take?! Such a person is truly learned and well-read beyond measure! "Forget it, theres nothing praiseworthy here." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. What he said was the truth; the couplet wasnt his own original creation. It was in textbooks back on Earth. This was from a temple dedicated to Lady Meng Jiang on Qinhuang Island, carved on the columns of the front hall. The couplet depicts the natural scenery around Shanhai Pass and the Lady Meng Jiang temple, while also expressing a view of nature and the cosmos. It suggests that everything in the world is like the seas tides and drifting cloudsrising and falling, swelling and ebbingwithout a permanent state. The couplet is something of a rarity, capable of being read in over a dozen ways. So today, Lu Xiaobus purpose wasnt solely to show off and take away Zhang Shilin; it was also to complete this unique wonder of the world. After all, it would be a pity if only half of it were known! "Now, Zhang Shilin can come with me, right?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Liu Chen and said. "Of course! Shilin will surely learn a lot with you." Liu Chen readily agreed! Zhang Shilin had talent and ability in literature. Now that there was a better master, he certainly wouldnt stand in the way. The members of the literary club also naturally didnt dare to speak. Teacher Liu had been convinced, so they were even less qualified. They were really afraid of being injured by the Sword Qi! "Wait a minute!" However, one person stood up, unconvinced, and said: "I Dont Agree! Lu Xiaobu must have studied this beforehand!" The speaker was none other than Yu Jian. He confidently said: "Everyone knows how long Teacher Liu studied this couplet, but what about this Lu Xiaobu? Just a few minutes of looking, how could he know so quickly!?" "Im sure that Lu Xiaobu must have planned for today well in advance!" "He must have learned about Teacher Lius proudest couplet and then got someone to research a solution. Thats the only way he could have done it!" Listening to his seemingly reasonable words, Liu Chen was furious! "Nonsense!" For the first time, Liu Chen was angry as he rebuked: "No one in the Writers Association could match the first half of my couplet. Even if Lu Xiaobu had researched it beforehand, so what?! He matched it, and thats that. Youre just causing trouble for nothing!" "Teacher Liu, please dont speak. Its not about you anymore. Zhang Shilin is not only your student but also the president of our literary club. Now he wants to take away the president of our literary club, has he asked us?!" Yu Jian was telling the truth. Although Liu Chen was a teacher and Zhang Shilins mentor, very esteemed in the literary club, he was indeed not a member of the literary club! His words did have some logic to them. Of course, his main purpose was to stir up enmity among everyone. But not a single person responded. Others arent fools; if Yu Jian isnt afraid of Lu Xiaobu, we are! Besides, as Teacher Liu said, what does it matter if he had researched in advance? If you were given time to research, could you come up with a solution?! "Youre still brooding over that slap from earlier, arent you?" Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a smirk. Alright, if you want to play, well continue to play! "Thats right! I want to have a couplet match with you! Do you dare?" Yu Jian gritted his teeth and admitted. Screw that so-called honor, whatever agreement, he was just after that slap in the face, and also after Wu Qianmin! He had hoped Liu Chen could properly discipline this Lu Xiaobu and then he could kick him while hes down. But how did it turn out?! This good-for-nothing Liu Chen actually got tossed aside by someone else! Still a teacher, still in the Writers Association, always boasting about his greatness, yet defeated by a prodigal son! So, it seems he must take matters into his own hands. Its just a couplet, right? He knew many people, he could find some tricky couplets for him, he didnt believe Lu Xiaobu could match them all! Just asking if you, Lu Xiaobu, dare! Chapter 429 - 427: Fist to Flesh [5th Update, Extra for Recommendation Votes] Chapter 429: Chapter 427: Fist to Flesh [5th Update, Extra for Recommendation Votes]What? Yu Jian asked Lu Xiaobu if he dared?! Do you say he dares?! "Come on, one couplet one slap." Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrow: "Do you dare?" "You!" Upon hearing do you dare? Yu Jian was instantly furious! It was I who asked you if you dared? Not you asking me! "Fine, lets do it! One couplet per minute!" Yu Jian said through gritted teeth. He didnt wait for Lu Xiaobu to respond and directly posed his question. He wanted to set the matter in stone! Yes, a shameful person with shameful tactics! Of course, there was also a silly air amid the shame! Poor child, not only blinded by wealth but also tainted with a sour and rotten demeanor. Hopeless! "Monk paints the lotus flower on the painting!" Yu Jian hurriedly said. This was the first of his prepared ingenious couplets. This upper couplet seems ordinary, but if read backward its the same phonetically, which is the mystery of this couplet. In fact, this couplet was far inferior compared to the one presented by Liu Chen before. It would just take some thinking time to match it. But now, what he needed was time; if Lu Xiaobu couldnt respond in one minute, he would win! "Scribing the Han ink as scholars do!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. Zhang Meng went up and slapped him. "Slap!" This time it wasnt the face; after all, swelling the face might hinder speaking and could be called cheating. However, even if it wasnt the face, this slap was more than Yu Jian could bear. A classic faceplant! "Pah!" Yu Jian got up from the ground, spitting out a mouthful of dust. "Everywhere flowers bloom brightly!" Yu Jian posed another question. Again, an inverted couplet! "In all places lush trees thrive deeply!" "Slap!" Another slap! "Snow reflects the beauty of plum blossoms." Yu Jian roared out. He couldnt believe that for three consecutive inverted couplets, Lu Xiaobu could respond so quickly! Even the most talented person would run out of inspiration! Yet. "Orioles suit the willow catkins, willow catkins suit the orioles!" Just a second again. "Pfft!" Yu Jian hadnt even been slapped yet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. This was from sheer anger! Then. "Slap!" He received another slap. Zhang Meng secretly used a bit more strength. Knocking the lad out cold! Liu Qing was shocked on the side. These couplets were not ordinary ones. All were inverted couplets requiring some skill. Even he would need a bit of time to ponder. But what about Lu Xiaobu? A few seconds?! Could it be that Lu Xiaobus specialty was inverted couplets?! However, it didnt matter anymore. Now, it seemed that the previous ones were nowhere near Lu Xiaobus limit. His hearts fire of battle was ignited once again. But before he could further stoke his fire, another had already ignited. The female academic prodigyZhang Shilin! "Water, mountains, everywhere so clear and splendid!" The female prodigys eyes were filled with admiration, seeking guidance, and ready to battle. Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but be amused when he saw this. Well, after today, youre under my command. Its fine to play with you today. "Sunny rain, good mood at all times, full of wonders!" Zhang Shilin: "My upper couplet has a variation. It can be read backwards, and each repeating character also forms a reverse couplet: Show brilliance everywhere, mountains and rivers are everywhere." Lu Xiaobu: "What a coincidence, my couplet can also be read backwards: Wonders, good mood at all times, rain or shine!" Zhang Shilins admiration became even stronger: "My upper couplet can also be laid out in a stepping grid, and can be repeated in cycles: Bright by water, splendid by mountain, everywhere waters and mountains are bright and splendid!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "You reminded me again, my couplet has a stepping grid too, and can also be repeated in cycles: Good when sunny, amazing when rainy, always wonderful rain or shine!" Zhang Shilin conceded: "Mr. Lu has great talent, I have overestimated myself!" "Wu Qianmin, take this!" Wu Qianmin also went crazy: "No mountains would match the beauty of Wu Mountains." When this couplet was presented, Liu Qing also raised his eyebrowsNot bad. Didnt expect Wu Qianmin, usually so low-key, actually has some real skillsA homophonic couplet, impressive! "Hear, hear, beware of house rules when you return." Lu Xiaobu swept his gaze up and down, causing Wu Qianmins pretty face to flush red, but he still responded: "What other water can be as clear as river water!" "Excellent!" Liu Chen couldnt help but cheer. No mountain... Wu Mountain? What water... River water! Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Perfect match! People from the literary club couldnt help themselves either. They were all literature enthusiasts, and naturally, the scene prompted their unstained expressions! "A crow flies into a flock of egrets, bringing coal in the snow." An enigmatic couplet, both a traditional Chinese puzzling riddle and a couplet. "The phoenix stands beside the mandarin ducks, adding flowers on the brocade!" Lu Xiaobu pinched Wu Qianmins pretty cheek, punishing her. The couplet speaker conceded with a bow: "Cant help myself, please forgive me!" "Swallow in one gulp water from two springs, three rivers, four seas, and five lakes!" Another person couldnt hold back. He, and the previous one who offered a couplet, were among the top in the literary club, always competing, and naturally unwilling to be outperformed. A riddle couplet, both a riddle and a couplet. "Dares alone to enter the doors of people in ten directions, hundreds of towns, thousands of households!" Lu Xiaobu took a sip of coke, spoke in a muffled voice. The answer to the riddle is a thermos! Seeing Lu Xiaobu being so approachable, the literary club members were all excited. "A white snake crosses the river, carrying a red sun over its head." Another riddle couplet. Lu Xiaobu: "A green dragon hanging on the wall, draped in ten thousand golden stars!" "The sky is the chessboard, the stars are the pieces, who can play a game?" Lu Xiaobu: "The earth forms a lute, the paths form strings, who dares to play?" "Wind starts the deep cold, frost falls in front of the house forming light snow!" Lu Xiaobu: "Sun shines on Dragon Boat Festival, Clear and Bright under the water, seeing the Double Ninth Festival!" "North geese fly south, wings split east and west above and below!" Lu Xiaobu: "Previous cart follows the ruts, two wheels moving left and right, up and down high and low!" "Old crow steps on old branches, crow flies branch falls!" Lu Xiaobu: "Returning crane to the fairy ravine, cranes cry echoes the stream!" A long string of battling couplets! Lu Xiaobu still answered easily without any hesitation. Swiftly answered all ten upper couplets! "Great!" The crowd from the literary club cheered, all extremely excited. So thrilling! Too thrilling! Never have they seen such thrilling battling couplets! If previously Lu Xiaobu and Teacher Liu Chen were fighting like immortals, now it was as if they were in close combat. Though it missed a lot of gracefulness, it had more punches landing satisfyingly! Not only were they excited, even Liu Chen couldnt help himself: "The tree is only half-hauled, cease the axe." This also counts as a peculiar couplet. He wasnt trying to trouble Lu Xiaobu, just couldnt repress the excitement within. "Indeed, totally unrelated!" Lu Xiaobu put down his coke, stood up, and went to the river to wash his hands. "Excellent!" Liu Chen almost jumped up. He was excited, the people from the literary club were baffled. How did it turn into an immortal fight again?! They looked helplessly towards Liu Chen, hoping for an explanation. Clearly, they felt this couplet was completely unrelated, with different meanings entirely. How could Teacher Liu say it was good? Can we avoid these mythic tricks of Outer Heaven Flying Immortal?! Chapter 430 - 428 Finally [1 Update] Chapter 430: Chapter 428 Finally [1 Update]Seeing the students of the literary club puzzled, Teacher Liu smiled and explained to everyone: "Do you still remember the ruthless couplets I once mentioned to you?" "Yeah!" Everyone nodded in response. Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ruthless couplets. This is a form created by a noted master in the early years, but very few use it, as its a rather obscure form within obscurity! "Thats good. This is actually a ruthless couplet." Teacher Liu Chen nodded in satisfaction and began to explain in detail: "The tree has been felled halfway, no need to swing the axe further, indeed entirely unrelated." "Tree corresponds with fruit, both being nouns; a dot corresponds with thousand fathoms, both being units of measure, where fathom in ancient times was eight feet; dry corresponds with axe, both being names of tools, dry an ancient type of weapon." "So, although the upper and lower lines are neatly matched, the meanings are completely unrelated, true to what is called a ruthless couplet, where there is not the slightest connection in the artistic conception." "But the beauty of the couplet Mr. Lu produced lies in the fact that not only does it match the symmetry of the first line, but it also plainly writes out indeed entirely unrelated." "In the realm of ruthless couplets, this is absolutely the pinnacle!" Hearing Liu Chens explanation, People gasped in amazement. "Hiss!" "Mr. Lu is immensely talented!" "Who would have thought Mr. Lu knew about such an obscure couplet." "..." "Alright, lets go, Im really tired." Lu Xiaobu yawned and said to the top female student, Zhang Shilin: "Now you can go with me, right?" "Okay, Teacher." The top female student immediately responded. She had no particular attachments here, as she could come back anytime. "Alright, lets go." Lu Xiaobu revealed a content smile. Finally, it was all settled. Hahaha, exhilarating, now someone else will handle all the literary matters! No longer having to do it all himself. Damn it, hed been squandering every day on literature, what a situation. Watching Lu Xiaobus departing figure, the members of the literary club bowed with their hands folded in front: "We wish Mr. Lu farewell." Yep, you probably noticed, under Liu Chens influence, these folks all had a bit of that ancient-style vibe. Well, that kind of vibe, Lu Xiaobu actually quite liked. He had a fondness for ancient-styled things. Lu Xiaobu left. Liu Chen sat by the brook, lost in thought. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly stood up and made a phone call: "Old Wen, I want to recommend someone for the Writers Association!" ... With Zhang Shilin, he left the school: "Oh right, I forgot to tell you about the compensation, ten thousand a month, tips are separate. No problem, right?" "Thank you, Teacher, no problem." Zhang Shilin automatically regarded Lu Xiaobu as a teacher. Lu Xiaobu didnt correct her; just let it be, it was nice. This identity made a good outward explanation too! Now that he had the top female student, Lu Xiaobu immediately headed for Emperor Electric. Arriving at the principals office, Principal Li was fretting over how to discuss the lecture arrangement with Lu Xiaobu when he saw Lu Xiaobu actually arrived. My goodness, Principal Li grabbed Lu Xiaobus arm in an instant. If they didnt know Principal Li wasnt an outsider, Zhang Meng and Li Jin were probably about to take action! "You promised me this! Xiaobu, you cant go back on your word!" Principal Li said with a slight plea: "Ive already boasted about it!" "Here I am, arent I?" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "You arrange it, Ill lecture today." "Today!?" Principal Li looked bewildered. No way, if you said you wouldnt come, you wouldnt, but upon arriving, why such a rush?! How am I supposed to prepare in such short notice? "Problem? Then forget it." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. "No! No problem at all! Ill go prepare right now!" Principal Li toughened up. Damn it, whatever, however many can come will come, if worst comes to worst, record it and let those who cant attend watch the replay. "How long?" Lu Xiaobu nodded with satisfaction. "With such a tight schedule, our preparations for the speech environment..." Principal Li found it somewhat hard to say. After all, when has Lu Xiaobu not gone for a grand production, a big budget. But now, with time so tight, at most they could only hang a banner, and forget about anything else. "Its okay, as long as its fast." Lu Xiaobu gestured with his hand, it wasnt him speaking anyway. Err, no, thats not right, in such an urgent situation, whether its him speaking or not doesnt matter. "Thats good then." Principal Li stood up: "You take a break first, Ill go get ready, well definitely get it done today!" "All right." Lu Xiaobu nodded, showing his approval. Principal Li was about to leave through the door, but before he did, he suddenly turned around to confirm once more: "Youre really not going to suddenly leave, are you!" "No!" Lu Xiaobu answered seriously. "Really not?" "Really not." Principal Li checked over and over again before he left to make arrangements. It cant be helped, Lu Xiaobus pattern of not playing by the rules had become too serious. If they finally organized the event and he stood them up, that would really be a disaster! Principal Li left. Lu Xiaobu, having nothing better to do, strolled towards the dormitory. Only, he was actually stopped. This is outrageous. "Am I not a student of this school?" Lu Xiaobu said angrily. "You are a student of this school." The dorm supervisor nodded in acknowledgment. "So am I a bad person?" "No!" "Do I carry weapons?" "No!" "Then why on earth cant I enter?!" "Because this is the girls dormitory, gentlemen are not allowed!" the dorm supervisor roared: "Are you done yet?!" "Cough cough cough." Lu Xiaobu coughed and turned to leave: "Damn it, didnt manage to sneak in." Zhang Shilin was almost going crazy. Master oh master, with your two bodyguards, three big men in total, how did you think you could sneak in? Lets not lie so blatantly with eyes wide open, okay? Since he couldnt get into the girls dormitory, Lu Xiaobu headed for the Performance Department. The ratio of girls in the Performance Department was high. As for his major in the Directing Department, he definitely wouldnt go there. He hadnt forgotten that there was a crazy old man there too. So the Performance Department was the best choice, and besides, the Performance Department has physical form classes, that feeling, tsk tsk tsk! Right, you know, those poses in the physical form classes are, in a sense, very enticing. Thinking this, Lu Xiaobu continued his way towards the Performance Department. "Teacher, may I go to the library?" The female top student Zhang Shilin was really not accustomed to Lu Xiaobus current demeanor and could only say so euphemistically. In her mind, a literary figure should be like Teacher Liu Chen. But now, Teacher Lu Xiaobu, who had even impressed Teacher Liu Chen, was showing a thuggish behavior. She really couldnt accept it. "Go ahead, mention my name if theres any issue." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. It was better that Zhang Shilin didnt follow him to prevent learning bad habits from him, otherwise, she would lose the temperament of a top student. Lu Xiaobu arrived at the Performance Department. Indeed, it was a physical form class, not bad! Hehehe! I wont describe the specifics, you imagine! Round, perky, big, small, cough cough cough! However, Lu Xiaobu didnt get to enjoy for long as Principal Li called, saying everything was ready. Chapter 431 - 429: If You Don’t Go to Hell, Who Will? [2nd Update] Chapter 431: Chapter 429: If You Dont Go to Hell, Who Will? [2nd Update]After receiving Principal Lis call, Lu Xiaobu went to the library to find Zhang Shilin. I forgot to ask for his phone number just now. This female top student hadnt encountered any trouble; she was quietly reading in a corner of the library. Truly a model top student through and through. After fetching Zhang Shilin, Lu Xiaobu headed to the temporarily set-up venue. Actually, to call it a venue would be a stretch, it was just the auditorium. At this moment, the auditorium was packed with people, filling every aisle. Most of these people came from three places: Qinghua Emperor University and Emperor Electric. Both teachers and students; almost anyone interested in "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" had come. "Xiaobu, you finally made it, then lets get started." Principal Li knew that Lu Xiaobu didnt like to dawdle and said so in a straightforward manner. He was a little surprised in his heart. He hadnt expected Lu Xiaobus name to carry so much weight. As soon as they heard that Lu Xiaobu would talk about "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty," all these students and teachers put down what they were doing and ran over! "Okay." Lu Xiaobu nodded and said to Zhang Shilin, "Go ahead, take your analysis and talk to them about it." "Huh?!" Zhang Shilin was momentarily stunned. She felt somewhat panicky. She was a top female student, not a female teacher. The idea of giving a lecture was beyond her! Asking her to give a lecture was like asking for her life. It wasnt just her who was stunned; the three principals from Qinghua, Emperor University, and Emperor Electric were stunned too. "Xiaobu, isnt it you whos going to speak?" Principal Li was a bit confused. "Who is she?" the principal of Emperor University was also bewildered. "We invited you to give the talk!" The principal of Qinghua wasnt faring any better. "Calm down, this is my disciple. Let her do the talking, that should be fine." Lu Xiaobu gestured dismissively: "Ive taught her everything." "This!" The three principals wore faces of difficulty, exchanging glances. The two principals from Qinghua and Emperor University gave Principal Li a meaningful look. Principal Li sighed deeply, only to say, "Xiaobu, everybody came here for you. If you dont talk, Im afraid they might have complaints." This was the truth, if not for Lu Xiaobus name, it was uncertain how many of these students and teachers would be willing to spare the time to come at all! "They can keep their complaints to themselves, who needs that kind of talk? If they dont want to listen, then forget it, Im leaving." Lu Xiaobu wasnt one to indulge them. His coming here to talk was only to repay a favor to Principal Li; now this issue of peoples opinions. Did they ask for his opinion? Hearing what Lu Xiaobu said, with things getting to this point, The three principals were out of cards to play. They could only hope to treat a dead horse as if it were alive. After all, didnt Lu Xiaobu say he had taught everything to his disciple? Besides, even if it really didnt go well, wasnt Lu Xiaobu still on the scene? They could only comfort themselves with these thoughts. But even as they made peace with the situation, Zhang Shilin wasnt ready, looking anxiously at Lu Xiaobu she said: "Teacher, I cant do it!" "Men cant say cant!" Lu Xiaobu said earnestly. "But, I am a woman!" Zhang Shilin was going crazy. Teacher, wheres your literature? Your talent? How can you not even distinguish between a man and a woman now? "It doesnt matter. What matters is if you dont go to hell, who will?" Lu Xiaobu said earnestly once again. "I! I... dont want to go to hell either!" Zhang Shilin was at her wits end. Teacher, even if you want to persuade me, cant you use a nicer sentence? "Alright, alright, if you go, Ill teach you a great essay, how about that?" Lu Xiaobu played his trump card. "Really? Better than Youthful Heavenly Dynasty?" Zhang Shilins eyes immediately lit up. "Pretty much, pretty much." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. It was just a blank check, what did he know. "Alright, Im on it!" Zhang Shilin immediately strode forward. She didnt care much for material things, but a good article could make her lose herself! Seeing this scene, the three principals couldnt help but smile wryly. Cunning as old foxes. Although they didnt know the specifics, they could more or less tell that this so-called mentor-mentee relationship wouldnt last long. Which meant, it was very likely that the girl hadnt received Lu Xiaobus true teachings. So todays explanation... "Sigh!" The three of them sighed. Hearing these sighs, Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. If Zhang Shilin were incompetent, would he bother devising ways to have her follow him? Really! Forget it, actions speak louder than words! Zhang Shilin walked onto the stage and placed her notebook full of notes on it. However, before she even started speaking, the crowd below erupted. "Who is this?" "Yeah, wasnt it supposed to be Lu Xiaobus lecture?" "Right, we came specifically for Lu Xiaobu, what are you doing here? Opening ceremony? We dont need that!" "Let Lu Xiaobu come up!" "Were very busy, we came specifically to listen to Lu Xiaobus lecture, please dont waste our time, okay?" "..." The entire venue was filled with chaos. Even the attempts of the three principals to calm the crowd were futile. These people just wanted to see Lu Xiaobu. And Zhang Shilin on the stage was indifferent to all of this. Since she had decided to speak, she would do her best. She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and began to recite "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" slowly. She didnt miss a single word from beginning to end, which showed how much she truly loved the article to her bones. And because she provided a detailed analysis of the article, integrating the history of this world, her recitation was even more emotional. It was full of ups and downs, so emotionally charged! At this point. The audience below stopped causing a commotion. "Listen, the recitation isnt bad at all!" "Yeah, its really good, it seems even more emotional than Lu Xiaobus original version." "Not bad at all!" "Stop talking, just listen carefully." "..." The audience began to listen carefully, one by one. The venue slowly quieted down, everyone immerged in Zhang Shilins recitation. Those who had managed to come here despite their busy schedules were truly fans of "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" and could naturally appreciate the sentiment in the recitation. The three principals were secretly impressed. Not bad at all! They hadnt expected Lu Xiaobus disciple to be so strong?! Where on earth had Lu Xiaobu found such a treasure?! Did Lu Xiaobu have magnets on him? Attracting top talents?! How could he be so impressively talented? Lu Xiaobu, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, watched as the attitudes of the crowd changed drastically. Face-slapped, eh? S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Jokingly, someone I have my eye on, how could they not be strong? The recitation was just a trifle, the real surprise is yet to come. Just as Lu Xiaobu had thought. With Zhang Shilins recitation complete, her emotions now in place, and the atmosphere in the hall warmed up. The explanation, officially commenced! Chapter 432 - 430: The So-Called Truth [3rd Update, Bonus - for Recommendation Votes] Chapter 432: Chapter 430: The So-Called Truth [3rd Update, Bonus Chapter for Recommendation Votes]Zhang Shilin finished reciting. Then he began the analysis. "The Youthful Heavenly Dynasty I think the first thing that should be brought up is its richness in imagery..." After Zhang Shilins first sentence, the venue erupted. "What richness in imagery?! Do you even know how to analyze?!" "Youre completely quoting out of context, ignoring the main point and dwelling on trivial aspects." S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Just get down from there, I thought you were just reciting, but now you are even starting to explain." "..." Zhang Shilin disregarded the discussions below: "Maybe some would say that the richness in imagery isnt as good as other aspects, but what I want to say is, this is an educational piece, not a thesis, its aimed at young people. If they cant understand it, everything else is in vain!" Upon hearing this, the venue fell into a brief silence. They werent irrationally targeting Zhang Shilin; they were just a bit irritable because it wasnt Lu Xiaobu speaking. After all, they had come for Lu Xiaobu. But after they listened seriously, They had to admit that Zhang Shilin made some valid points. "Not bad, lets continue listening." "This is also a key point, I guess!" "I take back what I said earlier, and I apologize. I was impulsive, and I made assumptions without knowing better." "..." Theres no need to elaborate on the following analysis. You probably dont want to read that, and in the end, youll say Im just padding the text, hmph! Anyway, the expressions at the venue were like this. "Sss! Right, right, thats exactly what I was thinking." "Uh... I have a different opinion, I think it should be like this." "This connection is so good, I didnt even think of that." "Yes, so this is what Lu Xiaobu was really talking about!" "6666! Nicely explained!" "Awesome!" "..." The three principals were more and more impressed and excited as they listened. Lu Xiaobu was actually telling the truth; Zhang Shilin had truly received Lu Xiaobus authentic teachings! What? You ask how they could tell?! Nonsense, how could it be so well explained if it wasnt the authentic teachings? Are you suggesting that this girl managed to analyze and comprehend it all by herself? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Without the guidance of the actual author, how could it be explained so well?! Lu Xiaobu on the side was utterly relaxed. Comfortable! Nothing else, just comfortable! Finally, he didnt have to keep wasting his breath day after day. This is the real him! A wastrel living a carefree life, doing whatever he wants! ... Meanwhile, as the explanation went on, Something exploded on the internet. It was about the creator of the theme song for "The Voice". Sun Wanqi, after getting Lu Xiaobus permission, had been holding back and finally revealed today The creator behind the two songs that appeared on "The Voice". Actually, she wanted to reveal it earlier since it was uncomfortable being constantly remembered for her cuteness. But her team wouldnt allow it, saying they needed to pave the way for her album release, so it was put off until now. She had no choice but to work overtime recording the album, hoping to release it sooner. Moreover, even though Lu Xiaobu didnt say it and didnt mind when she revealed it, there was still a tinge of guilt in her heart. After all, by doing this, it seemed a bit like she was using Lu Xiaobu. So, she secretly made a decision to find time... no, she must treat Lu Xiaobu to a meal! And those two songs, because of "The Voice" shows willingness, have always been two highly focused songs. Now that the creator has been revealed. Everyone suddenly paid attention. "Eh, did the song information refresh?" "What came up in the refresh? Did the creator finally get revealed?" "You actually guessed right, the real creator has been revealed, let me see... Eh? Ah? Huh? Sss!" "Damn, are you having a spasm? What are those interjections about?" "See for yourself! Look who wrote this song! "En, Lu Xiaobu, ah! Lu Xiaobu? Lu Xiaobu!! Lu! Xiao! Bu! Is this, the Lu Xiaobu we know?!" Everyone was in disbelief after seeing it! Those two songs were written by Lu Xiaobu?! The Lu Xiaobu whos a bone-lazy prodigal son?! Lets put aside whether he has talent for now. To say that Lu Xiaobu has the leisure to write songs!? Besides, if he really liked songwriting, with his familys wealth, wouldnt his songs be everywhere by now?! Slowly, a so-called truth emerged. "Hey, I get it, probably Lu Xiaobu bought the songs from someone and put his name on them." "Matches my guess, its normal, the guy is rich, buying a couple of songs is no big deal." "But it does feel a bit uncomfortable, it always feels like being cheated." "Yeah, you say Lu Xiaobu isnt short of fame, why bother to snatch the credit from the real composers and lyricists!" "People are willing to strike and endure it. Its none of your business!" "..." People just love to impose their will on others, always believing theyre the minority who hold the truth. Its actually normal. And under normal circumstances, it shouldnt have caused any waves. However. There are always those who intentionally make others feel disgusted that will jump out at this time. Like THX boy bands Jin Huen. The same guy who got his leg broken by Lu Xiaobu before, started stirring up trouble. "Really, having money means you can do whatever you want! I truly dont know, if everyone acted like you, then could we real singers still find good lyricists and composers, would we have to go to you to buy songs? Their hearts should be condemned!" This guy was recuperating in Korea, relying on the Emperor being far away, becoming a bit reckless! As soon as he spoke, the brain-dead fans immediately got started. "Just as my oppa said, this kind of thing is just thuggery." "You say Lu Xiaobu, youre neither short of money nor fame, why bother doing these kinds of things for petty gains?" "Afraid its just like my oppa said, you plan to lock up the lyricists and composers, and then make everyone to go to you to buy songs?" "And about Heavenly Dynastys The Voice, it seems your Youthful Heavenly Dynasty has ill intentions too." "..." These comments began to spread and ferment online. It started with dissing Lu Xiaobu for not being able to write songs, then to Lu Xiaobu monopolizing lyricists and composers, and finally somehow it even led to The Voice having a scandal. Of course, most of those shouting were brain-dead fans or those who were leading the narrative, and most netizens were still somewhat rational. After all, the success of "The Voice" was obvious to all, it couldnt be erased by just a few words. However, although they didnt follow the trend, they didnt offer support for Lu Xiaobu either. Regarding the aspects of "The Voice," they disagreed, but regarding Lu Xiaobu taking others songs as his own, they still maintained a skeptical attitude. Thus, these unattended comments grew wildly like weeds. Although not painful or itchy, they were annoying! Seeing these comments, Sun Wanqis guilt grew heavier. Forget it, within two days, as soon as shes free, shell treat Lu Xiaobu to a meal. Chapter 435 - 433: The Butterfly Effect [First Release] Chapter 435: Chapter 433: The Butterfly Effect [First Release]Korea proposed a list of the worlds top five healthy foods. Heavenly Dynasty felt a bit embarrassed. Damn it, were a step weaker! How can this be tolerated?! So, everyone started to desperately search for something to outdo the opponent in this aspect. But after searching for ages, they actually freaking didnt find anything. Its not that Heavenly Dynastys food isnt good. Its just that Heavenly Dynasty has too much good food. Korea, on the other hand, just keeps promoting and exporting kimchi culture over and over. S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This is what led to the current awkward situation. Although its said that Heavenly Dynastys cuisine needs no recognition from others, we are competing right now, cant afford to lose face! So, everyone started consulting Lu Xiaobu on Weibo. "Young Master Bu, beat them!" "Yeah, we cant lose!" "I cant swallow this insult!" "Damn it, theyve gone too far!" "..." This is no longer a mere celebrity war; this is a battle for the honor of the people of two countries! Lu Xiaobu, of course, saw it. His face immediately turned livid! Who is he? A full-fledged patriot! How could he bear this?! Saying our Great Heavenly Dynastys food isnt up to the mark?! Screw them! How to screw them? Activate Luck Aura. Considering the seeds previously buried, they should be sprouting now! Even if they arent sprouting, just add some fertilizer. Lu Xiaobu still has less than ten billion in wasteful amounts. It should be about enough. Hes not going to save this time, for the face of the Great Heavenly Dynasty, ten billion is nothing. Our Great Heavenly Dynastys cuisine is the best in the world, no explanation needed! Screw anyone who disagrees! Immediately. The Luck Aura began to deduct money at a rate of 100,000 per second. -100000 -100000 -100000 -100000 ... Suddenly, an invisible force began to emanate from Lu Xiaobu as the center. Ever heard of the Butterfly Effect? A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas, America two weeks later. And now, ten billion of Luck Aura, its more like a pterosaur, not just a butterfly! But even a pterosaur needs some time; it doesnt happen in one go. So, for now, in the online clash, Heavenly Dynasty is at a disadvantage. The battlefield roughly looks like this. "You Koreans are all about plastic surgery." "You Heavenly Dynasty has no food included in the worlds top five healthy foods!" "You Koreans use our Chinese characters." "You Heavenly Dynasty has no food included in the worlds top five healthy foods!" "You Koreans cheated in the World Cup, with unfair refereeing!" "You Heavenly Dynasty folks dont have any food listed among the worlds top five healthiest foods!" "Find something else to say, will you!" "Our kimchi had an import value of 5.34 million dollars in America last year!" "..." People from the Heavenly Dynasty really wanted to go through the internet cables and beat them up after hearing these shameless comments. You guys really dont have anything else to say, do you? Nothing but kimchi, always kimchi! But honestly, it still stings a bit. After all, the Heavenly Dynasty has always been proud of its eating culture, and now to be looked down on by a mere kimchi. Its unbearable. At this very moment, In the foreigner circles within the Heavenly Dynasty, a large group has emergedthe Lao Ganma Cult! The purpose of this cult is to promote Lao Ganma, to let those tasteless eaters experience the delicious baptism of Lao Ganma, and to show them what real deliciousness is. They even set up a dedicated webpage. Its filled with experiences of people going from skeptics to trying Lao Ganma, and eventually falling deeply in love with it. An American. "The crunchy and tasty chili explodes in your mouth, it feels too wonderful! My friend recommended Lao Ganma to me, and I will keep eating it. Marvelous Lao Ganma, marvelous spicy flavor!" A Canadian. "At first, I thought there was too much oil in the product, knowing that we dont really like using oil-heavy products directly in cooking; at most we drizzle a bit of olive oil, rapeseed oil, etc." "Seeing all that oil made us afraid to use it. Of course, we know that most salad dressings indeed contain over fifty percent oil, but they dont have that direct oily feel when consumed." "However, now, I cant live without Lao Ganma. I can confidently say: Canadian traditional cooking condiments are not as fragrant as Lao Ganma. I eat almost one jar per week now. Marinating meat, seasoning, everything tastes better with a bit of Lao Ganma. I guess even putting it in coffee would taste better!" An international foreigner whose nationality wasnt disclosed. "I now put Lao Ganma on my eggs every morning. I also mix it with garlic to dip my homemade dumplings. Today, I mixed Lao Ganma with pork, broccoli, and green pepper to make a slightly spicy dish." "I think, when you marry a Chinese woman, you are marrying two women: your fiancee and Lao Ganma." Comments like these abound on the Lao Ganma Cult website. And there are all sorts of photos and videos. Some show Lao Ganma on bread, some on steak, and also on Chinese dishes. There are even some extreme eating methods, like coffee with Lao Ganma, or challenging oneself to eat a whole jar of Lao Ganma alone. These texts, videos, and photos are wildly spreading among foreigners in China. Jerry is an American who came to the Heavenly Dynasty on a business trip. Ever since a man named Lu Xiaobu caused a big stir in America, the American side has started to strengthen communication and trade with the Heavenly Dynasty. Apart from his regular work, he has a hobby, which is to bring things not available in America back home, to impress his friends. So far, he has brought back things like the Shadow smartphone and Coca-Cola. Each product has made his friends go wild with shock and awe. However, he is about to go back to his country soon but suddenly realizes that there isnt anything good to take back. Oh, of course, he knows about Brain Black Gold, but he personally doesnt like that kind of stuff, so he wont take it back. While he was troubled about this, he saw the spreading popularity of Lao Ganma. "Lao Ganma?" Jerry said in his twisting Mandarin. Honestly, he had seen this product before too, but looking at that thick layer of oil in the glass bottle, he really was repelled. Its just like the chicken feet and chicken hearts that Heavenly Dynasty people often eat. No matter how tasty you claim they are, he really cant accept them. But, seeing how happily people ate it in the videos, he eventually got tempted. So, he decided to take a risk and bought a bottle. Back at home, he took a deep breath, washed his hands, and with a nervous heart opened the cap, looking at that red, oily substance, he felt strong resistance. He took a spoonful... Thought about it, then he poured all the oil out... Thought again, he threw back ninety-nine percent of what was on the spoon, leaving just a tiny bit... Finally, after some thought, he got bread from the fridge. Eventually, amidst a heart pounding with fear and anxiety, Lao Ganma finally entered his mouth. One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. "Bang!" Jerry slammed the table: "This time Im taking it back." Yeah, truly delicious! Chapter 436 - 434: Excitement Among the Crowd【2nd Update】 Chapter 436: Chapter 434: Excitement Among the Crowd2nd UpdateJerry boarded the plane with Lao Ganma. He didnt notice that an email had arrived on his turned-off phone, which he did not see. Oh, by the way, its worth mentioning that ever since Xiaobu planted the seed a few days ago, Liang Lan had already taken care of all the related procedures. After all, you all know very well what kind of person Liang Lan is when it comes to handling matters. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I would normally not bother to explain this, mainly to avoid you guys fixating on customs issues or regulations about not being allowed to carry certain items and so on. Please rest assured when Liang Lan is handling things! ... At this moment, the Heavenly Dynasty and Korea are still in a spat. At this point, Koreas approach is pretty formulaic, repeatedly harping on about kimchi, just going on and on about it. One kimchi holding up an entire country, thats also something. But regardless of how its said, theyre indeed gaining the upper hand with just kimchi and shamelessness. Korean: "Doesnt your Heavenly Dynasty have five thousand years of history? How come you dont even have a single health food? Isnt that embarrassing?" Heavenly Dynasty: "Since when did our Heavenly Dynastys cuisine need foreign recognition?" Korean: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, listen to this, what now? Stubborn to the end? Did this hurt your little pride? Aw, poor things!" Listen to them, isnt it infuriating? Deserving a beating, truly deserving! Many people were so angry they couldnt eat. A small restaurant. "Damn it, Im furious!" The clueless owner asked, "Whats wrong?" "Its those damn Koreans. Look at the comments online, its a total uproar! That bunch of Koreans actually say our Heavenly Dynasty has no cuisine, no health foods!" The restaurant owner exploded: "What did they say? Dammit, this is absolutely intolerable! Bloody hell!" "Exactly, thats why Im cursing them out." The owner washed his hands: "Come on, tell me where to join the cursing? How about you record a video for me, and Ill show them what Heavenly Dynasty cuisine is all about!" "Its useless, theyre shameless to the core now, they keep bringing up America, talking about health food certifications, sales volume, and so on." Owner: "Damn it! Our Heavenly Dynastys food is not something like pickles that you can just pack and export. Its best when freshly made. How can it be exported? By the time it gets there, its not even good to eat anymore!" "Exactly! But the Koreans dont care about that!" "..." Similar opinions were happening in every corner of the country. Ordinary people are outraged, and chefs even more so! Gradually, a new trend started online. "Damn it, their side has kimchi, just a seasoning. Doesnt our Great Heavenly Dynasty have any seasonings exported to America?" "Yeah! What the hell are those seasoning companies doing?" "Thats right, Lao Ganma! Send Lao Ganma over, its definitely viable." "Viable my foot, Lao Ganma has only been established for so long, its brand recognition hasnt spread among foreigners, and you know that foreigners tastes are different from ours." "The person above is right. Although Korea really pisses us off, we must say theres reason behind it; their kimchi culture has been exported for years, and this continuous cultural export led to the current situation. Lao Ganma certainly has strength, but it doesnt have enough time yet. If we want to showcase and win, we have to rely on companies that already have some recognition, like Mao Yuan Companys products." "Well, what are we waiting for? Lets hurry up and approach Mao Yuan Company." "Lets go, lets go, together!" "..." Instantly, countless netizens swarmed into Mao Yuan Companys official website and official Weibo. "Dont just stand there, hurry up and export to America!" "Yeah, dont you feel pissed off watching this?" "Mao Yuan Company is somewhat renowned in the hearts of foreigners; right now, only you guys can turn the tables for us." "Thats right, thats right, load up, export, set off! Hit them with a few million US dollars." "..." Mao Yuan Companys official website and Weibo were overrun. Finally, Mao Yuan Companys CEO Qi Zhendong had to come forward to explain personally. "Brothers and sisters, I know everyone is angry, and Im angry too. I also want to bring glory to our country and beat those Koreans." "But please understand our difficulties, okay?" "As everyone knows, foreigners eating habits are different from ours. So even though our Mao Yuan has a place in their hearts, its really too limited, not something that can be achieved overnight." "Of course, were not shirking responsibility. Regarding this matter, well take the lead. Were increasing our marketing efforts and doing everything we can to open up the market, but this cant be done in a jiffy." Its fair to say Qi Zhendong knows how to prioritize and understand the urgency of the situation. At this critical juncture, he chose not to divert attention or evade but to confront the issue directly. This has also earned everyones praise. However, praise is praise, but people still couldnt help feeling a bit despondent. "Even though its hard to accept, we have to admit Qi Zhendong is stating the facts!" "Forget it, CEO Qi, we understand. Were just upset and venting, we hope you dont take offense." "Are we just going to watch Korea be arrogant?" "Damn it, Im not willing to let it go!" "Right! If even Mao Yuan cant sanction them, who can?" "Its infuriating!" "..." The above opinions are from the rational netizens, while the irrational ones didnt follow them to Mao Yuan. Instead, they took to Lao Ganmas official website and Xiaobus Weibo. "Fuck! Xiaobu, why are you playing turtle now? Have you forgotten that you caused this? Why so silent now?" "Thats right! Isnt Lao Ganma the leader in the condiment market? You have the ability to open up the international market!" "Its truly shameful; dont let me lose respect for you!" "Really a complete loser. Ever since the issue started, not a word from you. Werent you tough? Werent you awesome? Cant you make a statement? Just watching us get bullied? Watching us be humiliated?" "Youre really something!" "..." Reading these online comments, Xiaobu chose not to retort with insults this time. Although the words were harsh, and they didnt know the truth of the matter, He still chose not to insult them back. Not for any other reason, but because at this moment, these people were standing with the Heavenly Dynasty. But not retaliating doesnt mean not responding. Xiaobu posted on his Weibo: "Alright, you want to knock them down, then lets do it. How much was it? 5.34 million US dollars, right? So, how about we do 5.34 million US dollars and one cent?" Youre disgusted? Then lets disgust them back! Just one more fucking cent! To disgust them to death! Let you guys vent properly! Chapter 437 - 435 The Effect of Luck Aura [Third Update] Chapter 437: Chapter 435 The Effect of Luck Aura [Third Update]Lu Xiaobus Weibo post immediately caused a huge commotion. "Great! These words are so uplifting!" S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Lu Xiaobu is awesome! I apologize for what I said earlier, please make sure to keep your word!" "When has Lu Xiaobu ever made a promise he didnt keep?" "Thats right, just one dollar more than them, itll piss them off so much!" "Its so damn satisfying!" "..." Of course, there were those who felt that it was irrational. "Lu Xiaobu has made a wrong move this time!" "Yeah, it sounds satisfying, but its really irrational!" "Its easy to make a promise now, but if you cant fulfill it later, youll definitely be viciously criticized!" "Didnt you see that even Mao Yuan, which has a certain position in the hearts of foreigners, doesnt dare say such things? Although Lao Ganmas chili sauce is indeed better than Mao Yuans, the time is too short!" "Thats right, and that amount, what are you doing? $5,340,001? Are you kidding?" "Such words are too irresponsible, even worse than Mao Yuan Companys explanation!" "Ridiculous, indeed ridiculous!" "..." Qi Zhendong, the CEO of Mao Yuan Company, also sighed: "Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, youve really messed up this time!" Although he was looking forward to Lao Ganma being toppled, just not now! If Lao Ganma falls now, its likely Heavenly Dynasty will be ridiculed even more severely. Principal Li from Di Dian also showed a look of urgency on his face: "This is too irrational, its completely speaking off the top of his head! How easy is it for a product, especially food, to enter the American market? Making such a statement now is just giving others something to attack you with!" The mentors of The Voice were also chatting among themselves. "Xiaobu has really been rash this time. Making such a promise now might seem like hes won everyones respect, but once he cant deliver, those who are praising him now will definitely turn against him and criticize him." Grandma Jia Yi, with her age and experience, analyzed it accurately. "Yes, Young Master Bu has indeed gotten a bit ahead of himself this time, promising something nearly impossible to achieve, and on top of that, hes made it even harder for himself, this is really..." Chen Wen couldnt quite finish his words. After all, he has received Lu Xiaobus favor, and there were some things that shouldnt be said too excessively. But even if he didnt say it, everyone understood what he meant. Fang Li sighed and didnt say anything, but the meaning was clearly conveyed. At this moment, Sun Wanqi didnt say a word. She was just silently staying there. Even though it was Lu Xiaobu who lost his temper this time and made the promise, She felt a deep sense of guilt. She felt that the cause of it all was her, because her team used Lu Xiaobu as a tool. If it werent for the previous incident, this wouldnt have escalated to such a level. So, after thinking for a while, she finally said to her agent Qi Yanfei: "Xiao Qi, make arrangements to cancel all of todays activities." "Sister Sun?" Qi Yanfei was puzzled, what was this about?! The events they had were not something you could just cancel at will. Often canceling an event meant not only loss of profit but also owing favors. Remembering that Lu Xiaobu had invited Sun Wanqi to The Voice and she didnt even have the time, and now she actually planned to cancel engagements for personal matters! This is just crazy! "Just listen to me and do it." Sun Wanqi decided to be capricious for once. "Okay then!" Qi Yanfei felt helpless, and deep down, she probably guessed what Sun Wanqi was going to do. She really didnt understand. Sister Sun, you are a Queen of Heaven after all. Moreover, even though the media says you should be grateful to Lu Xiaobu for this and that, fundamentally, these are all transactions, commercial activities! Is it really worth it to go to such lengths for Lu Xiaobu? ... Evening. By this time, Lu Xiaobus Luck Aura had long since worn off. After all, sixty million in one minute, six hundred million in ten minutes, so a billion would only take about sixteen or seventeen minutes. Although Lu Xiaobu didnt regret it, he still sighed with a tinge of lament: "The wasteful amount is empty again, Im broke once more." It has been a long time since he last felt this sense of emptiness. Originally, the sixty billion he managed last time could have lasted awhile, but one Charging Shield and a Luck Aura cleaned him out! Now he had to find ways to squander money again. Just as he was worrying, he received a call from Sun Wanqi. "Hello, whats up?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Well, Lu Xiaobu, I...um..." Sun Wanqi stumbled over her words. Even though she had made up her mind, she still felt a bit shy when it came time to say it. Finally, she bit the bullet: "Id like to invite you over for dinner." "Dinner?" Lu Xiaobus eyebrows raised in surprise: "How many people? The coaches of The Voice joining us?" In his impression, the likelihood of Sun Wanqi asking him to dinner alone was almost zero. "No, just the two of us, at my place, Ill cook myself! Ill send you the address, if you dont come then forget it!" Sun Wanqi rushed through her words and then hung up. She couldnt continue the conversation, if she did, this Lu Xiaobu would outsmart her. "Huh?!" Lu Xiaobu, hearing the beeping tone on the phone, showed a surprised expression on his face. Did the Queen of Heaven have some sort of brain aneurysm? Actually inviting him over for dinner? And shes cooking herself? Most importantly, its at her place?! What is the Queen of Heaven up to?! Does he look like someone whos easy? He is a decent man, so he decided... "Zhang Meng, lets go, were heading out!" However, deep down he probably understood the reason why the Queen of Heaven invited him for dinner; it definitely had something to do with the Luck Aura. This reassured him greatly. Why, you ask? Think about it, if the Luck Aura is free enough to set him up with girls, then the Lao Ganma matter must be close to fruition! Killing two birds with one stone! Not bad, not bad! ... Following the address, Lu Xiaobu arrived at Sun Wanqis house. A villa decorated in splendid magnificence. "Ding dong!" Lu Xiaobu pressed the doorbell. It was Qi Yanfei who opened the door. Now, Qi Yanfei wasnt wearing her usual professional suit but casual clothes instead, with an apron tied around her waist, looking as if she was cooking. "Youre here, come in." Qi Yanfeis face showed neither sadness nor joy, lacking a welcoming expression, but she didnt seem to be sending him away either. All because of this guy, Sister Sun had pushed back so many arrangements. Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders and stepped in. Zhang Meng followed him in, whereas Li Jin volunteered to stay in the car. One inside and one outside, they could provide maximum security for Lu Xiaobu. Hmm, though Li Jins face was full of grievancehe too wanted to go in and see. He was always left to watch the car! The instructor was really good at picking on people. Sigh, a sigh that carried boundless sorrow. Chapter 438 - 436 Queen of Heaven Cooks Personally [4th Update] Chapter 438: Chapter 436 Queen of Heaven Cooks Personally [4th Update]Entering the villa, Zhang Meng automatically stopped at the entrance corridor. He entered, but it was proper not to wander around. "Come in, feel free to sit." Sun Wanqi poked her head out from the kitchen, also wearing an apron, no longer carrying the aloofness of the Queen of Heaven, appearing much more approachable. Perhaps because it was her own home, she didnt sound as shy as she did on the phone, and seemed quite at ease. "Alright." Lu Xiaobu sat down on the sofa. Qi Yanfei poured him a glass of water, then headed back to the kitchen to stay busy. Since Sun Wanqi had long returned, Lu Xiaobu didnt sit for more than two minutes before Sun Wanqi and Qi Yanfei came out carrying dishes to the dining table. "What would you like to drink?" Sun Wanqi asked Qi Yanfei to take a seat while she went over to the wine cabinet, turning to Lu Xiaobu. "Anythings fine." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand indifferently. Because the moment he saw Qi Yanfei sit down, he knew, today, there was nothing else to think about. Just calmly have a meal and thats it. Of course, the Queen of Heavens home attire, only he could see, hehehe, you all cant! Moreover, this is a meal personally cooked by the Queen of Heaven! Hehehe, jealous, arent you? Cough cough, I digress! "Today, I invited you over formally to apologize. There is partly my fault in the current matter." Sun Wanqi seriously said while picking up a glass of wine. Actually, this was the doing of her team behind the scenes, but she took all the responsibility herself. "No worries, whats this?" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand nonchalantly and clinked glasses with Sun Wanqi. Both drank. "The second thing, wasnt the post you made on Weibo a bit rash?" Sun Wanqi mentioned the other important matter besides the apology: "If you cant live up to it, the same people who praised you today may turn against you." Such incidents are not uncommon in the entertainment industry. She had experienced them too, so she was quite concerned. "No worries, I can definitely do it." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand again. Had it been before, he might have felt a little worried, but after this meal and sitting down here, he wasnt worried at all. "You!" Sun Wanqi was somewhat frustrated by Lu Xiaobus inexplicable confidence. What is up with this Lu Xiaobu? She thought for a moment, then continued to persuade: "Really, if you retract your Weibo post, and I, together with Chen Wen and Fang Li, create some big news to suppress this matter, how about that? The netizens are all fickle, just endure for a while and itll blow over." She truly lacked confidence in this matter. Korea took how long to export their kimchi culture to the world? She knew it best in the entertainment industry. Do you know? If you pay close attention to their dramas, you will find that kimchi appears in almost every one of them. Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Either in the lines or as a prop. Not only that, many of their countrys celebrities endorse kimchi for free. This isnt about idolizing foreign things but just stating the facts. How long did it take for a country to achieve what it has today? And Lu Xiaobu wants to accomplish something in a short period that another country has done over many years. If you were in their shoes, would you believe it?! "Sister Sun!" Qi Yanfei became anxious. Has Lu Xiaobu lost his mind, and you too? Creating big news in a short time in the entertainment industry. And to suppress such an international issue, how many ways could there be? Are you sacrificing yourself for others? Is it worth it?! "Dont say more." Sun Wanqi interrupted Qi Yanfei, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Xiaobu. As long as Lu Xiaobu nods, she would proceed. She didnt like owing others. "No need, really no need. Watch me conquer Korea, and when I succeed, Ill treat you to dinner." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said: "I toast to you." Hearing what Sun Wanqi said, he truly felt comfortable inside. Why should such an esteemed Queen of Heaven make such efforts for you? You should know that since they first made contact, ninety-nine percent of their interactions were transactions. Taking what each needed. But now, Sun Wanqi was willing to help him. How could this not warm his heart?! Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Sun Wanqi showed a sulky expression on her face. This Lu Xiaobu, really! To put it bluntly, hes so arrogant! Forget it, let him hit the wall by himself! Regardless, he has money! Humph! Kindness taken for granted! While they were talking, suddenly someone knocked on the door. Zhang Meng narrowed his eyesit wasnt Li Jin. But Zhang Meng didnt move. After all, this was someone elses place; he couldnt overstep and embarrass the Young Master. Of course, he remained vigilant. To avoid alarming anyone, Zhang Meng stepped away from the corridor near the door to a spot farther away, making sure he couldnt be seen by anyone entering through the door. At this moment, Qi Yanfei got up and went to open the door. "Hello, Miss Qi, this is a paparazzi I caught nearby, he was taking covert photos." One of Sun Wanqis bodyguards stood at the door, holding a paparazzi with a camera hanging around his neck. As the Queen of Heaven, Sun Wanqi couldnt possibly be without bodyguards. Although they werent as high quality as Zhang Meng or Li Jin, they were far greater in number. They were patrolling nearby. "Okay, thank you for your hard work." Qi Yanfei first smiled at the bodyguard, thanking him. Then she turned to the paparazzi, "What did you manage to shoot?" "Whatever I needed to shoot. I didnt expect the Queen of Heaven to be smitten too, bringing a man home." The paparazzi was quite arrogant, completely indifferent. After all, he got the shots, what can you do about it? This is big news. The home of Queen Sun was visited by someone elses car, and judging by the glimpse of the man who got out of the car just now, it was definitely a man. Absolutely big news! "Hand over the camera!" Qi Yanfeis face suddenly darkened. Hearing Qi Yanfeis words, the paparazzi laughed insolently. What does Qi Yanfeis reaction imply? It implies his guess was right; it was indeed a man. "Hand over the camera! Delete the photos!" Qi Yanfei raised her voice in rebuke again. "Hehe." The paparazzi sneered, fearless. He wasnt scared of anything. Would Qi Yanfei dare to have him beaten? No! If he dares, it would still make the headlines tomorrow. Would Qi Yanfei dare to bribe him? Neither would she dare! Bribing would also make the headlines! Either way, he was set for the headlines. Exhilarating! Not only was he fearless, but he was also peeking inside with keen interest. He wanted to see who this man really was. At that moment. "Zhang Meng, smash the camera and throw it out." The voice of Lu Xiaobu came from inside. Upon hearing this voice, the paparazzis expression changed instantly. With a look of utter terror in his eyes. Could it be inside...! Chapter 439 - 437: Unparalleled Effects [5th Update] Chapter 439: Chapter 437: Unparalleled Effects [5th Update]The paparazzis face instantly changed when he heard Lu Xiaobus voice. His eyes were filled with disbelief. Unconsciously, his Adams apple moved up and down, swallowing hard. He was filled with shock and suspicion. Is it really him? And when Zhang Meng walked out from beside him, the paparazzis face turned ashen! Indeed, it was him! "Do I help you, or will you do it yourself?" Zhang Meng said to the paparazzi facing him. "Ill do it myself, Ill do it myself." The paparazzi instantly chickened out. Then, Qi Yanfei was shocked to see, the previously unrestrained paparazzi in front of her, actually placed the camera, which was treasured by the paparazzi, on the ground. Then, with a face full of distress, he harshly stomped on it. The camera was instantly ruined. Qi Yanfei was completely flabbergasted. Damn, you guys are supposed to be fearless paparazzi, who can still make headlines even after getting beaten up. Now youre chickening out without even seeing Lu Xiaobus face? Where is your paparazzi spirit? Is Lu Xiaobu that terrifying?! Seeing Qi Yanfeis expression, the paparazzi gave a bitter smile. Does she really not know about Lu Xiaobus terrifying influence in the journalist circle? Who would dare to spread rumors about him? Forget about spreading rumors; even with concrete evidence, one would think twice before deciding whether to report it. If he decides to deal with them, theres nowhere they can escape to. What? You dont believe it? Just a simple matter, Sun Wanqi doesnt dare let her bodyguards hit him. Because shes afraid of exposure! But Lu Xiaobu dares. Not only does he dare, but he also guarantees that each exposure results in a beating, until youre scared to expose anything. Are you scared now? Maybe someone asked, wasnt there news written about this a few days ago? Yes, it was written! Indeed it has been. That guy went to the mountains to pray right after writing it, and hasnt dared to come down yet! Its only because the subsequent news overshadowed it, otherwise his trip to the mountain would not be to offer prayers, but to find a good spot for his grave! Hes not prepared to die! "Sorry to disturb, Ill be going now!" The paparazzi said, bowing and nodding, getting ready to leave. "Hold on." Lu Xiaobus voice came out again. "Yes! Young Master Lu, what would you like to instruct?" The paparazzi immediately stood up straight, listening attentively. "Zhang Meng, reward him, let him buy a new camera." Lu Xiaobu said. "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng nodded and began to lead the paparazzi out. The money is with Li Jin, all in the car. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Young Master Lu!" The paparazzi was extremely grateful, almost on the verge of worship. Qi Yanfei was utterly stunned by this scene. Holy crap! Is Lu Xiaobu that awesome? Without even showing up, with a single sentence, he made the paparazzi smash his camera and beat it. And now, just by compensating the money for the camera, the paparazzi is moved to such an extent! Im really impressed! Truly impressed! Qi Yanfei returned to the dining table and saw Lu Xiaobu looking as if nothing had happened. That made her all the more impressed. Lu Xiaobu, youre awesome, youve really outdone yourself! This act of yours, Im utterly convinced! ... Meanwhile, dinner was being enjoyed. And after a mission-critical flight of several hours, Jerry finally returned to his homelandAmerica. He just got off the plane and was immediately surrounded by a crowd. And there were actually FBI members among them! Jerry instinctively raised his hands, showing non-resistance! He is totally confused now! Damn, whats going on? "You, the agent, arrest him!" A person who looked like an officer commanded. "Wait, wait, wait, I am not an agent! Im a legitimate American citizen!" Jerry quickly explained. This misunderstanding is getting big now! "You say you are not?" The officer asked skeptically, "Then do you dare to take out whats in your bag?" Actually, this was a reality TV show called "The Real Agent". Simply put, it was to scare those who just returned from abroad and watch their reactions. Of course, this was just the first step, more activities were to follow. They had chosen Jerry. And they had even emailed Jerry before. Now, Jerry seems to be performing quite realistically! Oh right, I forgot to tell you, this is being broadcast live! Fantastic! "I will, I will!" Jerry didnt know this was a reality TV show. He thought it was real! Isnt that a realistic performance? So, he quickly opened his bag and revealed everything inside. The officer began to check. "What is this?!" The officer pointed at the Jueying smartphone. "Its a phone, a phone, officer!" Jerry quickly replied. Actually, Jueying smartphones arent allowed to be sold to foreigners since purchasing one requires an identity card. But Jerry had found a loophole. That is, it had been a long time since Jueying first came out. Some peoples Jueying phones had gotten old or broken. They applied for new Jueying phones. Although Jueying Company could reclaim old Jueying phones, many chose to keep them as souvenirs. After all, the rush to get a Jueying phone was a memorable moment. And Jerry had managed to buy an old phone that was supposed to be kept as a collectible. That was the one he had now. Although it was all in Chinese, without English. But Jerry, who often traveled on business to Heavenly Dynasty, could understand it. He was very pleased using it. Yes, he was telling the truth, although its a bit embarrassing, but as an American, he indeed blissfully used a phone discarded by Heavenly Dynasty people! "A phone? This kind of phone?" The officer frowned: "Why is there no English?" "This is a phone from Heavenly Dynasty, theres no English on it." Jerry said with a weird expression. "Uh..." The officer pressed his earpiece. A voice over the earpiece said, "Weve dealt with this thing when Lu Xiaobu came last time, asking again is meaningless. Skip this question, ask the next one." Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The officer nodded to the hidden camera, indicating understanding. His gaze naturally turned to Lao Ganma. Then, he picked it up and looked at Jerry seriously: "Is this some kind of poison?" "No! No! No! Its not, its a seasoning, a very delicious seasoning!" Jerry quickly explained. "Seasoning? Edible?" The officer picked it up, sniffed it near his nose, then handed it to Jerry: "Open it!" "Okay, okay, Ill open it!" Jerry nodded hastily. He was internally grumbling. What kind of situation is this? He could encounter even this! Well, better cooperate with the inspection, get it done faster, get home sooner! While thinking so, Jerry slowly, under the live broadcast camera across America, opened the Lao Ganma! Chapter 440 - 438: Imports, Must Import [1st Update] Chapter 440: Chapter 438: Imports, Must Import [1st Update]"Pop!" Lao Ganma was opened. A distinct scent belonging to Lao Ganma wafted into the officers nose. "Sniff sniff." The officer couldnt help but sniffle and take in the aroma, "Take a bite." "This..." Jerry hesitated. "Whats wrong? Is there really a problem? Isnt it edible?" The officer immediately straightened his face. "No, no, it really is edible, but its a condiment, not a staple food. I need some staple food to go with it." Jerry quickly explained. "Alright, what staple food do you need? A hamburger? Potato noodles? Or a steak?" The officer asked. After all, this wasnt real, it was a reality show, so such a request could still be accommodated. "Anything will do!" Jerry said earnestly. "Anything will do? Are you sure?" The officer was taken aback. You see, depending on the type of condiment, the accompanying food also varies. After all, if matched incorrectly, it would ruin the taste. But here Jerry dared to say anything would do! "Im sure!" Jerry was very confident. He had already tried it. Although it was a bit embarrassing, from an American perspective, he could sincerely sayLao Ganma might not go with just any food in Heavenly Dynasty, but when it comes to the repetitive options in America, anything pairs well and tastes great! "Then okay, go get him a portion of each." The officer ordered. Soon, the food was delivered. Exactly what the officer had mentioned earlierthere was a portion of each. Jerry was quite a foodie. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing the staple food arrive, he didnt even care about the officer and just started eating voraciously with Lao Ganma. He was really hungry, and although he could eat the food on the plane before, after trying Lao Ganma, he really couldnt eat it at all. But items like Lao Ganma were in checked luggage, not instantly accessible. "Sigh." Jerry ate with absolute delight. While eating, he was gasping because of the spiciness. But the spicier it got, the more he wanted to eat, and the more he ate, the spicier it became! In no time at all, he had downed a hamburger, a serving of mashed potatoes, plus half a steak. The officer and the people around him were stunned. "Wow, is it really that delicious?" "No way! Is he that hungry?" "Wait a minute, you see, every time he eats, he adds that condiment. Could that condiment really be that tasty?" "..." Not only were the people at the scene taken aback. Even the American viewers watching the live broadcast on TV were astonished. "Oh my God! Why do I feel hungry watching him eat so deliciously?" "It smells so good! But why doesnt the same burger taste good when I eat it?" "Could that condiment really be magical?" "Which country is it from?" "Seems like its from Heavenly Dynasty!" "Quick, search it up online." "..." Suddenly, countless people turned on their computers and started searching for information based on the image of Lao Ganma on TV. And unsurprisingly, they soon found itLao Ganmas teachings. After all, Lao Ganmas teachings are all foreigners, so it was quite easy to find. Thus. Videos, texts, and images from these Lao Ganmas teachings quickly spread all over America. Everyone watching the live reality show was now focused on the news about Lao Ganma. Some had even made contact with the followers of Lao Ganma. They inquired in detail about the authenticity of Lao Ganma. Thus, it didnt take long for them to realize why Jerry on TV found it so delicious. "Oh my god! Did you see it? They said this condiment tastes incredibly good." "Not only that, I showed them the live broadcast on TV, and they were not surprised at all. They said it reflects reality!" "Oh my Lord, is that seasoning really that tasty? Even tastier than our Sriracha?" "I cant handle it anymore, where can I buy some? I want to buy, buy, buy!" "There should be some in the Chinatown supermarket." "No, I just came from there. They dont have it, saying that its not currently being sold here. However, I asked a Chinese person who just returned from the Heavenly Dynasty, and he had half a bottle, I just had a taste..." "Hey upstairs, keep going! After that taste, what happened? Dont stop talking!" "Wait a minute, Im too busy to talk. I asked that guy to sell me the half bottle. He refused, so I just grabbed it and ran!" "Uh..." Countless Americans fell silent after reading this. Oh my God! It seems Lao Ganma really is delicious, otherwise why would there be a robbery? As the night progressed, more info about Lao Ganma came in. Of course, eighty percent of this info came from the followers of Lao Ganma. Countless Americans were left with their mouths watering. They even started a full internet campaign to gather Lao Ganma. With the world being so vast, America surely had a few bottles. Just like that Chinese person who returned from the Heavenly Dynasty, he had brought some back! They were lucky. They actually managed to find three bottles. So, the live reality show on TV was left unwatched. Nobody cared about Jerrys follow-up anymore. They all gathered together. And began to taste Lao Ganma. "Ss, ha! So spicy! So spicy! Why is it this spicy!" A foolish Americans who couldnt handle spices, without eating any main dish, directly tried a spoonful of Lao Ganma and ended up drinking two bottles of water. The people around him laughed, "Didnt you watch the live show? They said it should be eaten with a main dish." The man laughed awkwardly with a red face. He was just too eager! Meanwhile, others began to try it with main dishes. Since there were only three bottles, everyone didnt get much. Imagine when Lao Ganma was first released in the Heavenly Dynasty, which has a myriad of delicious foods, it caused a sensation. Now in America, it was the same! "Ss, its so spicy, but really delicious!" "Fantastic, with Lao Ganma, food tastes like its gone up a notch!" "Spicy? Its not spicy! But really tasty!" "Im captivated, Ive decided to join the Lao Ganma followers!" "Who can give me another serving? Mines all gone!" "Sorry, weve all finished." "Yeah, how could there be any left!" "..." Of course, not every American was conquered. There were always those who didnt like it and left. But those were in the minority, not worth mentioning. Most people were utterly bowled over by Lao Ganma. This scene spread to American supermarkets. Seeing this, what else to say? Hurry and import it! This kind of surefire deal, the quick have and the slow miss out! Suddenly, America stirred up a fervent craze of importing Lao Ganma. However, they didnt know that their import amount was limited. How much was it again? Oh right, 5,340,001 US dollars! Chapter 441 - 439 Arriving with Money [2nd Update] Chapter 441: Chapter 439 Arriving with Money [2nd Update]Xiaobu returned home. The next day. The surge started online. It all originated from the people of Korea. They somehow found out about Xiaobus Weibo post and all swarmed to comment under it. Of course, Xiaobu couldnt understand their comments, but someone was translating for him in real time. "Arrogant and presumptuous, actually fantasizing about surpassing the effort an entire country put in over many years." "Is there a term in Heavenly Dynasty called face-slapping? Sitting waiting for you to slap your own face." "5.34 million US dollars, do you know how huge that amount is?" "Even 5.34 million US dollars and one cent, no need for such trouble, just surpass this number and well admit defeat!" "Yeah, exactly! Arrogant people of Heavenly Dynasty, not only hitting people, engaging in shady dealings, but also daring to talk big!" "People of Heavenly Dynasty, dare to make a bet? If you cant do it, apologize to Jin Huen, to THX, and to our Korea!" "..." The people of Korea are trolling Xiaobus Weibo. Can this be endured?! But dont forget what kind of temper Xiaobus fans have! Just one word, fight them. Well, okay, two words, whatever! "Damn Korea, do you have any shame? Is 5.34 million US dollars a lot? Do you know how much money Young Master Bu has? Itll scare you to death!" "You really are ignorant! Just over five million US dollars and you dare to make noise under Young Master Bus Weibo!" "Cant even do this or that, why dont you say what happens if it was done? Still want any face!?" "Were arrogant and presumptuous? Thats called confidence, not arrogance! If you have the guts, stop using Chinese characters then! Who was it that once promised to abandon Chinese characters, and after so long, still shamelessly came back to use them! We havent charged you royalties, but if we did, it would be far more than 5.34 million US dollars!" "A country that cant even keep its own promises now asks others for promises, do you have any shame?" "..." Netizens are all on his side. Can Xiaobu still endure? "Come on, that son of a gun who wants to bet, come out, damn it, want to bet? I, Xiaobu Lu, will take your bet! Im also telling you, dont think I cant touch you behind the internet or across the countries. Come out now, just dare to bet, and Ill send you the contract right now, do you dare?!" Xiaobu starts the confrontation directly! Mom sells batches (an expression), afraid to bet?! Theres nothing Young Master wont dare to do. Better yet, after Xiaobus Weibo went out, indeed someone stepped forward wanting to bet with Xiaobu. And its nobody else, its the instigatorJin Huen! This guy is now being very arrogant. He, with his own efforts, made Heavenly Dynasty and Korea challenge each other! Of course, thats all he thinks. In fact, anyone with clear eyes can see, this kid is just a pawn. Regardless of those, anyway, Jin Huen has stepped forward. "Bet then, just three days time, if you do it, I will kneel and apologize, if you cant..." "If Young Master cant do it, I will kneel down too, and give you one billion, for you to play with!" Dont be a wuss, just do it! Xiaobu shows no fear. "Alright, then Ill wait for your contract to come over!" Excitement oozes from Jin Huens words. Big profit! One billion! And Xiaobu will also kneel before him! By then, he will gain both prestige and wealth! Hes so thrilled hes breaking into a sweat! What? What if you lose, you ask? What a joke? Hes going to lose? You have to realize it looks like hes betting against Lu Xiaobu, but in actuality, its Lu Xiaobu betting against Korea. One person against the efforts of a nation over many years in just three days? You guys actually think Lu Xiaobu can win? Are you freaking nuts?! As soon as the Weibo about the bet was released, it immediately caused a huge stir online. Korea is being very noisy. "Hahaha, courting destruction! You really dare to promise three days?" "Well just sit here and wait, kid you better not run away!" "One billion! Jin Huen is going to make a fortune!" "Go go go, hurry up, Jin Huen is handing out red envelopes, he said he made a windfall and wants to give everyone a million!" "Windfall?! Where did this windfall come from?!" "Are you stupid? That billion! This is a sure win situation!" "..." Korea continues its noisy boasting. But over in the Heavenly Dynasty, things seem to be more subdued. At most, theres some half-hearted support. "You guys will definitely lose, Young Master Bu will definitely win!" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yeah, exactly! No doubt, hes going to win!" "Its just 5.34 million US dollars! Hes got this!" "..." Though the words sound strong, they ultimately convey a feeling of lacking confidence. Actually, this isnt just a feeling, it truly is a lack of confidence. "What is Lu Xiaobu doing?!" "Yeah, this is too rash, the previous Weibo was okay, since there was no specified time limit, so worst case scenario, he could still beat them after a year. But now? Three days? What can be done in three days? Even if they really want to import, its impossible to manage within three days!" "He really didnt think this one through!" "Sigh, I cant even imagine what it will be like in three days!" "..." Its not just them. People close to Lu Xiaobu who saw these Weibo posts are going crazy as well. Lus father picked up the phone: "Xiaobu, tell me the truth, was that Weibo post just a moment of bravado, or do you really have confidence? If it was just bravado, push the blame onto me. Say Im getting senile in my old age and posted nonsense!" "Dad! Stop messing around! Who curses themselves like that?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes but felt warmth in his heart. No matter the circumstance, his father was always like a mountain of support: "I really do have confidence! Trust me!" "Alright!" Lus father pondered for a moment but still chose to believe in Lu Xiaobu. Even if everyone else was skeptical, he believed in Xiaobu. ... Lu Hongbin: "Xiaobu, I wont ask superfluous questions, just one thing, should I go to America now to register a company, and then we can import for ourselves?" "No need, bro, that method is too stupid, Ive got everything arranged, dont worry!" Lu Xiaobu reassured. "What do you mean dont worry! You really want to scare us to death! Do you know your sister-in-law almost got so scared she fell down the stairs!" Lu Hongbin asked, half scolding and half worried. "Really, its fine!" Lu Xiaobu kept assuring. ... Lu Wenhao: "Xiaobu, are you out of your mind! Wait a bit, let me think of a way, see if we can finish off Jin Huen. If hes gone, the bet is gone too." Lu Xiaobu: "..." When did his second brother go from being a studious nerd to a mob boss. ... While they were chatting, the contract for the bet hadnt even been sent out yet. Shimen Airport was already welcoming a large group of foreigners. All from America! Americans with money! Chapter 442 - 440: Beating the Koreans (Third Update) Chapter 442: Chapter 440: Beating the Koreans (Third Update)Lu Xiaobus phone kept ringing. Grandma Jia Yis call: "Xiaobu, youve really acted impulsively, how could you carelessly make a bet like that?" Chen Wen and Fang Lis call: "Young Master Bu, youve really suffered a big loss this time, the other party is clearly setting you up! Three days, this is obviously a trap!" Sun Wanqis call: "Lu Xiaobu, have you gone mad?" Even Lin Feng made a call: "Are you asking for death? You havent even waited for me to deal with you, and now youre courting death?!" All of them did not believe and were full of regrets. It cant be helped that they didnt believe, nor can they be blamed for their disbelief. No one would believe this kind of thing if it were them. To say that Lu Xiaobu would spend 5.34 million US dollars, investing moneythey all believe that. After all, for Lu Xiaobu, this isnt a lot of money. But, to say that Lu Xiaobu made America import goods worth 5.34 million US dollarsthe difficulty of that isnt just double or as simple as that. For large items, like machinery and such, perhaps just one or two, three or four machines would do it. But now, were talking about hot sauce that costs only a few dollars per bottle. To reach 5.34 million US dollars with that, the difficulty is akin to scaling the heavens! However, just when everyone was disbelieving, A bunch of Americans, who had flown for more than a dozen hours but seemed neither tired nor hungry, carrying money, rushed into Lu Group. "Lao Ganma, we want to import Lao Ganma." A few foreigners who knew some Chinese shouted with their awkward Chinese. And the rest of the foreigners who didnt know Chinese were also raising signs one by one. The crowd was excited. The American market is eagerly awaiting right now, the sooner they act, the more they could potentially earn. And for others, theyd probably just get the leftovers! Customer service was scared and confused by this group of Americans. They quickly called to notify their superiors. The junior leaders came down and were baffled. Well, there was nothing for it but to keep reporting up the line. Thats how the calls went up the chain, directly up to Liang Lan. Upon hearing this news, Liang Lans eyes lit up instantly. She quickly made a call to inform Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master, the Americans are here, they want to import Lao Ganma!" Her heart overflowed with excitement. Actually, she too was somewhat doubtful before. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, from any perspective, the bet made by the Young Master seemed unrealistic and nearly impossible to achieve. But as someone on the Young Masters side, on such matters, she had to maintain her place on the team, keeping absolute trust in the Young Master. Thats why she kept quiet, silently waiting for the moment the Young Master created a miracle. Sure enough! They came! "Theyre here, thats great." Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a smile. Although he was almost certain in his heart, when the moment truly arrived, he felt very excited. "Alright, I stated 5.34 million US dollars and not one cent more, not one penny less, as for the price, lets set it at 70!" Lu Xiaobu wasnt polite at all when it came to fleecing foreigners. Directly raising the price 14 times. Take it or leave it. This is the confidence that comes with a monopoly! "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan had nothing to say about the price either, indicating her agreement. Right now, its a sellers market, and they have the final say on the prices. What? You say its too expensive? Not buying? Well then, were not selling anymore. After all, this time our supply is limited. If you dont buy, just watch others make money! ... Liang Lan has gone to negotiate with the Americans. The online debate is still heating up. But now it is almost completely one-sided. Just like the shameless tactics once used by Korea, they cling to this issue and keep harping on about it. It annoys the Heavenly Dynastys netizens to no end, but they are powerless to do anything about it. Jin Huen is also shouting his head off. "Wheres the contract? Im waiting for it, Lu Xiaobu. Dont play the silent game like a coward! And dont try to say that the deal doesnt start until the contract arrives! The clock is ticking now!" "Let me tell you, whether the contract arrives or not, you have to follow through. The netizens are watching keenly!" "Stop using petty tactics like my brother did it or my family did it, its embarrassing!" "Were all public figures here. Better not to use these petty tricks!" The Korean crowd is also echoing the sentiment. "Oh, Lu Xiaobu has chickened out, he must follow through on his own boast, even if he has to kneel!" "Honestly, whether its a hundred million or not, I couldnt care less. I just want to see such an arrogant guy get slapped in the face by his own words and see his embarrassment as he kneels down!" "I cant take it anymore, Im getting excited, this is more thrilling than watching the World Cup!" "Time, please move faster!" ... And just then. The news came out. "Numerous American retail companies come to the Heavenly Dynasty to discuss import business, reportedly in huge volumes!" "Received secret information that the American retail companies are importing food, condiments, specifically Lao Ganma!" "Lu Xiaobus strong counterattack, who says our Heavenly Dynastys food cant break into international markets?!" "According to eyewitnesses, the companies discussing business in the Heavenly Dynasty include Americas largest retail group, Butterfly Group! And the second largest, Conna Group!" "Two of the biggest retail groups coming over, all for Lao Ganma, this is a powerful blow from Lu Xiaobu to Korea!" "It seems Lu Xiaobu isnt shooting blindly, he had prepared in advance. Can Lu Xiaobu successfully win the bet?" "An exhilarating day, the start of a counterattack! Lets cheer for Lu Xiaobu!" ... These news pieces reached the online community, reached the ears of the Heavenly Dynastys people, and also reached the ears of the Koreans. Instantly. Everybody was astounded! "Hahaha, who said Lu Xiaobu couldnt do it, step forward!" "Three days? Who needs three days? Its barely been any time and its already started!" "Good job, Lu Xiaobu! Lu Xiaobu rocks!" "Nothing else matters, this calls for a thumbs-up!" "Amazing! Trashing Korea!" ... The people of the Heavenly Dynasty are over the moon. Just this morning, they were still anxious for Lu Xiaobu, angry about his unwise decision. But before the day was even over, Lu Xiaobu had already started his counterattack! Tell me, isnt he awesome?! The netizens of the Heavenly Dynasty are excited, but the Koreans are dumbfounded. "What the heck! This can happen?" "Butterfly Retail and Conna Retail went to the Heavenly Dynasty?! And its for Lao Ganma?!" "Holy cow! Is this for real or fake news?!" "It must be fake news, how could it be so quick? A bet was made just this morning and its already started by the afternoon? Are they kidding?" "I get it, this is definitely a smoke bomb from the Heavenly Dynasty side, just to stop Jin Huen from daring to take the contract!" "Childish tricks, weve seen right through them!" "..." Chapter 443 - 441 Fear of Being Dominated by the Heavenly Dynasty [4th Update] Chapter 443: Chapter 441 Fear of Being Dominated by the Heavenly Dynasty [4th Update]Seeing the news from the Heavenly Dynasty, the immediate reaction from Korea was disbelief. Impossible to believe. Just too damn fast. Doesnt any product that wants to break into a foreign market need prolonged advertising, prolonged promotion to work its way into the hearts of foreigners?! But turn it around, when a foreign product enters, it means the local products will be suppressed! So, advertising is not that easy. If it really were, would Korea need to put in national effort to promote themselves?! And its not even open and above board promotion, but inserting kimchi culture into TV dramas, into other cultural exports, and carrying it outward with them. And now what? How long has it been?! Just two days ago, there was still no sign of Lao Ganma in America. And today its there? Of course, its not impossible, unless youre so badass that you get the American president to advertise for you. Does that sound realistic?! However, their disbelief meant nothing. Because! American news had also come out. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Incredible Heavenly Dynasty cuisine, Lao Ganma sweeps across America in no time at all" "Amazing Heavenly Dynasty people, amazing Heavenly Dynasty cuisine, beyond belief, yet irresistible!" "Prediction: Heavenly Dynastys Lao Ganma is set to lead a new revolution in Americas food industry, Korean kimchi sales plummet" "Lao Ganma is no longer just a food item, it has become a new trend, a new culture" "Its said that this miraculous product is produced by that miraculous person from the Heavenly Dynasty, remember the Strength of Qi?" "..." Now the Koreans were dumbfounded. They could disbelieve the Heavenly Dynastys news, but they couldnt disbelieve Americas! So its true! Heavenly Dynastys Lao Ganma actually swept across America in such a short time, opened the market, and became the most anticipated food item, even suppressing their Korean kimchi!? "How is that possible?!" "I dont believe it! I just cant believe it!" "Our Korean kimchi is unbeatable!" "Lu Xiaobu must have cheated!" "..." Facing these stubborn Koreans, the people from the Heavenly Dynasty had just one word. "Hehe!" "Hehehehe!" "Dont believe it? Must be butthurt! Hehe!" "Dropping the act? Let me tell you, quit acting cool, or get thrashed by Lu Xiaobu, thats our hard-earned lesson, now informed to you free of charge!" "Seriously, such a small place, since when did it get such big confidence, even daring to compare its cuisine with the Heavenly Dynastys?!" "..." In no time, the Heavenly Dynasty people were feeling smug and triumphant! Even able to drink an extra two liang of liquor. So refreshing! Chillingly refreshing! Absolutely thrilled! Lu Xiaobu is amazing! But how could the Koreans admit defeat easily? "Whats a talk going to do? Dont forget the bet was for 5.34 million US dollars!" "Yeah! 5.34 million US dollars! What are you boasting about? Maybe in the end, itll only be a few hundred thousand, then youll be blindsided!" "What do you mean maybe, its definitely only a few hundred thousand!" "Yeah, on the first import, how could it possibly be so much? A fool wouldnt do that!" "You Heavenly Dynasty folks are still losers! Definite losers! Get ready to kneel!" "..." However, before their boasting ended. A piece of news quietly appeared. "Negotiations concluded, Kangna Retail Company secures exclusive agency rights in America, the total import amount is 5.34 million US dollars and one cent!" "5.34 million US dollars, and one cent!" "Lu Xiaobu talked the talk and walked the walk, just one yuan more, just one yuan more than you guys!" "Unprecedented face-slapping, Lu Xiaobu single-handedly fulfilled his promise, slapping Korea in the face, and also dealt them tons of critical hits psychologically!" "As a headline, I dont want to say anything, I just want to say Lu Xiaobu is awesome! Are you giving likes or not!?" "..." One piece of news after another dominated the internet like this. It was like a giant slap, fiercely landing on Jin Huens face, on THX boy bands face, on Koreas kimchis face, on the faces of every Korean! "Slap!" The sound was huge! The pain was intense! The Koreans were stunned! "Holy shit, you motherfucker! Did you really do it?! Damn it! Has Kangna Company gone mad? Importing so much on the first order?!" "Are you guys fucking crazy?!" "Lu Xiaobu, youve gone too far, actually just one yuan more!" "Damn it! Cant accept this!" "..." Koreans were left with red cheeks from the slaps, but the people of the Heavenly Dynasty were feeling good! So refreshing! "Hahaha, awesome! Lu Xiaobu is awesome! Lu Xiaobu is mighty! Domineering! What are the other words? I cant remember!" "This is so satisfying to slap their faces!" "Let these arrogant Koreans see! What worlds top five health foods!? What annual imports of 5.34 million US dollars! What now? 5.34 million US dollars plus one yuan! Just asking if youre scared!?" "Did you hear that? Just one yuan more than you guys, not even one dime more!" "What do you call this? This is like taking a dump and pissing on your head, not too high, not too low, just right freaking on you!" "Comparing yourselves to the Heavenly Dynasty? Compare my ass! Young Master Bu alone can thrash your entire nation!" "..." Now it was Koreans turn to be rendered speechless by the comebacks. Netizens from the Heavenly Dynasty were having a blast! No, not enough of a blast! These folks went straight to Korean social media platforms! Once upon a time, you caused chaos in our territory! Now, its our turn to stir up trouble! Soon, wherever there was a Korean social media platform, Chinese characters could be seen everywhere! No choice, the Heavenly Dynasty just has too many people! Just ask if youre scared! ... Small diner. "Motherfuckingly satisfying!" The boss slapped the table and shouted, "No one leaves today, everything on the house! Drink till we drop!" "Alright! Hahahaha!" Boss: "By the way, can someone teach me how to bypass the firewall? I want to go curse on the Korean websites!" "Come on, Ill teach you!" ... A small rural courtyard. A trembling grandmother in her seventies, handed a cell phone by her grandson, fiercely sent a word C Spit! ... Train station. Even though the attendant had hurried them several times to board the train, many were still dilly-dallying and not getting on. Because in the waiting hall, someone was teaching everyone how to go to Korean websites to curse them out! They insisted on getting it clear before boarding! ... Even Qi Zhendong, the president of Mao Yuan Group who once had grievances with Lu Xiaobu, clenched his fists in excitement: "Awesome! Lu Xiaobu is awesome! He really vented his anger fiercely!" ... On this day, Koreans truly understood what it meant to be dominated by the fear of the Heavenly Dynasty people. They didnt dare to go online, to comment. As soon as they made a comment, there would be thousands upon thousands of Heavenly Dynasty people trashing them so hard their own mothers wouldnt recognize them! Koreans even began to doubt, was it the Heavenly Dynasty people who came to their turf, or had they come to the Heavenly Dynastys turf? How come there were more Heavenly Dynasty people than them?! Chapter 444 - 442: Refuse to Kneel? Then Leave Your Leg Behind [5th Update] Chapter 444: Chapter 442: Refuse to Kneel? Then Leave Your Leg Behind [5th Update]Conquering Koreas social media platform, and thats it? No, this is just the beginning! Theyve never forgotten Jin Huens bet! Nows the time to cash in on that promise! So Jin Huens social media account is the one that got hit the hardest. "Jin Huen, get the hell out here! See this? Our Young Master Bu has done it, now hurry up and kneel on both knees! Quickly!" "Acting like a little punk, huh?! Come out!" "Werent you all arrogant before?! Come out! Giving out red envelopes, even a million, whats up? Youve given away all your funeral expenses?!" "Hurry the fuck up and come out! Were waiting for you to kneel on both knees!" "..." At this moment, in Jin Huens villa. Jin Huen, with his limbs not yet fully recovered, was pacing back and forth in the villa, frequently picking up objects nearby and smashing them to the ground! The once grand and luxurious villa was a complete mess from his smashing! His facial features were all twisted together, his face full of anger and disbelief! "Fuck! Dammit! I Dont Agree! I dont agree! Why?! How could this be?! My hundred million!" This was supposed to be a sure win for him; why did it suddenly take such a shocking turn?! How could this happen?! If it hadnt been for those news reports sent from America, he simply wouldnt believe it! His hundred million was gone! Not only that, he also gave away a million in red envelopes! Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it! Fuck your ancestors! What about the bet of kneeling on both knees? He never even considered actually doing it! How could he? Kneeling on both knees?! If he kneels, his life is over! He would rather die than kneel! Actually, if it was just the pressure from the Heavenly Dynasty, that would have been fine; he could have handled it. But! Look out the window, take a look at whos out there! Its all Koreas people! These people had surrounded his house. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Jin Huen, come out! Give us an explanation! What are you going to do now?!" "Im telling you, all this is your doing, you are to take full responsibility!" "And you cant kneel to Lu Xiaobu, otherwise get the hell out of Korea!" "You damn ass, moron!" "..." It seems that people all over the world are the same. It was these very people shouting at night before, and now that theyve lost, Jin Huen has become their scapegoat! Jin Huen, hearing these words, was so furious he could explode! Fuck your mothers, werent you all cursing very enthusiastically before?! Now that you see we cant win, has it all suddenly become my personal problem?! But, anger aside, this matter still needs to be dealt with. He decided to respond with silence. Hmm, just as he had made this decision. Lu Xiaobus Weibo got updated. The content of the Weibo was instantly spread throughout Korea by netizens! "Jin Huen, dont play dumb, whats this silent treatment?!" The original words of Lu Xiaobu above, and a screenshot of Jin Huens response below. It captured a sentence Lu Xiaobu, dont play dumb, whats this silent treatment?! With this statement out, it instantly turned into a giant slap, smacking across the faces of netizens all over Korea! See that? These are your own words, stop acting dumb! Netizens from the Heavenly Dynasty got even more excited, following Lu Xiaobu into the fray is just thrilling! Because Lu Xiaobu will never be like the other celebrities, acting like a shrinking turtle and letting his fans take the front line. Instead, hes always charging at the forefront! "HAHAHA, Jin Huen, roll out here!" "Does your face hurt?! These are your own words, dont you dare deny it!!" "Tell Young Master Bu to stop acting like a fool, and you better not act like one either!" "..." Netizens from the Heavenly Dynasty are rejoicing while those crowding around Jin Huens villa from Korea are even more furious. "Jin Huen, did you hear that? Lu Xiaobu is calling you out for a talk! Hurry the hell up and deal with it!" "Yeah, deal with your own bullshit bravado! Dont bring shame to our great Korean nation!" "..." "Holy mother!" Jin Huen, agitated, twisted his already problematic leg and suddenly fell to the ground. Whats on the ground? The pieces that Jin Huen just smashed! Instantly, glass shards pierced through his skin, and blood flowed freely! But even so, he still dared not leave his home to go to the hospital! Its just an injury now, but he fears he might be beaten to death if he steps outside! He thought about it, gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and posted another Weibo: "The bet is null and void, I havent received the contract to this moment; how can a bet be counted without a contract!" This was outright playing the scoundrel. Lu Xiaobus Weibo followed close behind. "Dont go on about how we cant start without the contract! Were public figures, its best not to use these petty tricks!" Right, another image below! Its Jin Huens Weibo again, need I say more! Netizens from the Heavenly Dynasty pursued their advantage. They beat the utterly defenseless Koreans to a pulp, leaving them broken and bruised! Remember how the Koreans used to bully people from the Heavenly Dynasty? No matter what, they would claim that kimchi is one of the worlds top five health foods! Well, now things are different. Netizens from the Heavenly Dynasty have learned their lesson. Korea: "Our country has many beautiful women!" Heavenly Dynasty netizens: "Our Lao Ganma has more import value than your kimchi by just one dollar! One dollar, mind you! Plus, all the beauties in your country are plastic surgery made!" Korea: "Our country has lots of celebrities!" Heavenly Dynasty netizens: "Our Lao Ganma has more import value than your kimchi by one dollar! One dollar, mind you! Your countrys celebrities are all crap-eaters!" *Cough cough cough*, this last sentence might have been a bit too much! But I like it! The more ruthless the insults online, the harsher the Korean people at Jin Huens villa gate cursed! The harsher the outside insults, the angrier Jin Huen became, but he just couldnt bring himself to leave the house or even retort! He could only hide at home hoping to wait it out! However! Could he really hide away? Shimen. "Li Jin, go ask Zhang Benhu if its possible to bring this Jin Huen back? Wanting to welch on a bet after betting with me?! Isnt he oversimplifying things?" Lu Xiaobu sat on the sofa, looking at Li Jin and asked. "Okay, Young Master." Li Jin took out his mobile phone, removed the SIM card, replaced it with a new one, and then called Underworld leader Zhang Benhu. After a few words exchanged between the two, Li Jin covered the mouthpiece and asked, "Young Master, Zhang Benhu says its difficult to bring him back, but if we just want to find someone in Korea to take out both of his legs, its feasible." This Zhang Benhu is ruthless. Originally, the bet involved kneeling, but Zhang Benhu directly went for taking off his legs. "Good, take off three." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Go ahead and do it, communicate if you need funds." Li Jin nodded: "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Benhu received the response. And proceeded to take action. The next day. The news reported. "Korean celebrity Jin Huen caused a public riot, attempted to flee, encountered a car accident during the escape, both legs amputated, and his lower body smashed beyond repair!" Once a popular fresh-faced celebrity, the long-legged oppa Jin Huen, now with both legs amputated, faces a life worse than death for his remaining years! Chapter 445 - 443 Well Done [6th Update] Chapter 445: Chapter 443 Well Done [6th Update]Liang Lan was reporting to Lu Xiaobu. Even though Young Master Bu didnt care much, the report still had to be given. "Young Master, the reason Kangna Company agreed to that bizarre number and the high price is because I took the liberty of offering them the exclusive agency rights for Coke as well." "Um, no problem, these kind of things, you can decide on your own." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand nonchalantly. Doing business is just like this, with give and take. Its all about the back and forth of a deal. Expecting others to always cooperate with oneself is unrealistic; there definitely has to be something given in return! At this moment, Su Luoxue also came over: "Boss, your phone." Her eyes were filled with little stars at the moment. Stars of admiration. The greatest person in her heart now was the boss, and no one else! The boss was too awesome, actually taking on years of efforts by Korea single-handedly in just a short period of time. Think about it, besides Young Master Bu, is there a second person who could do this? Seeing the expression on Su Luoxues face, a sly smile appeared on Lu Xiaobus face: "What? You admire me?!" "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!" Su Luoxue nodded hastily. "Alright then, as a reward, serve me tonight." Lu Xiaobu chuckled mischievously. "Boss! I! Ill go make you some tea!" Su Luoxue turned tail and ran, feeling flushed all over. She dared not stay any longer; no one could be sure about the bosss temperament. What you think is a joke might very well be serious. But when you think hes serious, he could be joking. So, the best strategy is to beat a hasty retreat! Lu Xiaobu watched Su Luoxues enticing figure leaving, and chuckledsooner or later, not a single one of you will escape! He picked up the phone. "Hello, Xiaobu, well done!" Lu Hongbins excited voice came through: "How did you do it?" "Luck, just luck." Lu Xiaobu spoke frankly. Indeed, it was luck, but this luck was quite expensive, ten billion! "Ha-ha-ha, okay, luck." Lu Hongbin did not ask in detail: "Anyway, those economists are probably going to start studying you again, ha-ha-ha!" "Let them study. Why are you so happy?" Lu Xiaobu laughed. He felt happy hearing his older brother so joyful. "You have no idea, I infiltrated an organization of economists, and I enjoy listening to them study you every day!" Lu Hongbin laughed while explaining to Lu Xiaobu: "I dont dare to tell them the truth; Im afraid of getting kicked out!" "You really are bored!" Lu Xiaobu laughed. "Okay, lets not talk about this anymore, your second brother wants to talk to you." Lu Hongbin said. It seems like everyone must be at home today. "Hello, Xiaobu, well done!" Lu Wenhuo began with that very phrase. "Pfft! Whats with you guys!" Lu Xiaobu chuckled to himself: "Didnt big brother just say the same thing!" "Its not about that, but rather the matter of Jin Huen breaking his leg." Lu Wenhuo lowered his voice and came outside to whisper. "What did you say? I dont know anything." Lu Xiaobu feigned ignorance. It was best for the family to be involved as little as possible in these matters. After all, the less one knows, the safer it is. "Alright, alright, if you wont say it, never mind." Lu Wenhuo rolled his eyes and didnt press for details: "By the way, dad told me to relay a message to you." "What message?" Lu Xiaobu asked. Lu Wenhuo: "Well done!" Lu Xiaobu: "..." Uh... are you guys sure you didnt eat something strange this morning?! Just hung up one call, and another came in. It was Principal Lis call. I saw him eagerly saying, "Hello, Xiaobu, nicely done!" Lu Xiaobu: "..." I just want some peace! "Hello, why arent you speaking?" Principal Li was still extremely excited: "This is an epic achievement in history! A single person challenging an entire country and winning! Plus, youre our student at Emperor Electric, hahaha! Let those two old fogeys be jealous!" "..." Hung up the call. One call followed another. This time it was Lin Feng. Lin Feng hadnt even started... Lu Xiaobu chimed in, "Well done!" Damn it, I dont need you guys to say it, Ill say it myself! Lin Feng: "..." Now it was Lin Fengs turn to be speechless. Motherfucker, whats going on! Why is it well done all of a sudden! "How did you manage to do it, Lu Xiaobu?" Lin Feng asked in detail: "I checked, and your Lao Ganma chilli sauce has appeared on a reality show, showing her face to the American audience." "Luck, just luck. You know Ive always been lucky." Lu Xiaobu fobbed off. "One day, Ill make sure you spill all your secrets." Lin Feng said through gritted teeth: "By the way, Ive already started the paperwork for the yacht Im giving you, pay attention for its arrival." This was the yacht Lin Feng promised to send to Lu Xiaobu before. "Alright. If theres nothing else, Im hanging up." Lu Xiaobu didnt like talking to Lin Feng. "Okay, hanging up, but lastly, well done!" Lin Feng hung up the call. Lu Xiaobu: "..." Are you all crazy today! Continuing with the calls without going into details. Grandma Jia Yis call: "Xiaobu! You are really amazing, truly inconceivable! A single person against a country!" Chen Wen and Fang Lis calls: "Young Master Bu 666! Please accept our apologies, aside from 666, no other words can express our admiration! By the way, Young Master Bu, what about the song you promised to write for me?!" The last call was from Qi Yanfei. "Young Master Lu, Sister Sun asked me to call you to congratulate you, you really made it." Even she has to call Lu Xiaobu Young Master Lu now! "Why isnt she calling herself? Why did she ask you to call?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "Sister Sun is busy, cant get away. You know, she postponed a lot of work to invite you for a meal, now shes trying to catch up as much as possible." Qi Yanfei sighed. "Fine then, tell her, Ill invite her out to eat in a couple of days, as I promised before." Lu Xiaobu said. "Alright, Ill pass the message to Sister Sun." Qi Yanfei nodded. Finally, the calls were done. Liang Lan continued the report: "Young Master, the Third Level Rich List rankings have been updated, and you are now second place." "Oh? Second place?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow. Didnt pay much attention to this list before, and somehow muddled up to the second place. This list is too easy to climb. Well, if other people heard this, who knows if they would want to chop him to pieces! They probably would! "Yes, second place, and I heard a little gossip, seems like the Wen Family Hall, whos in first place on the Third Level Rich List, is getting antsy!" Liang Lan covered her mouth and chuckled. She could imagine the kind of expression the Wen Family Hall would have. Others reaching second place probably never worried the Wen Family Hall before. After all, everyone is progressing, like two trains running side by side, with the Wens train even slightly faster.

If theyre not careful, theyll get their ass... cough cough, as a lady I cant say this! Chapter 446 - 444 Sold [7th Update] Chapter 446: Chapter 444 Sold [7th Update]Liang Lan is right; the Wen Family Hall really cant sit still seeing how swiftly Lu Xiaobu has been climbing up the ranks. The wealth ranking has never been just a simple list. It represents social credibility and reputation. The higher your ranking, the stronger your social credibility. If I explain too much, you guys wont understand, so let me put it simply. For instance, for the same project, an ordinary businessman would need to undergo layers of scrutiny and testing to apply. But the person who is first on the wealth ranking can get it done in the shortest amount of time, avoiding missed business opportunities. Otherwise, why do you think many of Lu Xiaobus procedures are done so quickly? Thats the reason why. Of course, the Wen Family Hall may be in a hurry, but Lu Xiaobu isnt. Right now, Lu Xiaobu has a bit of a headache. Thats because Zhang Shilin is currently pestering him for an article. Remember? Last time, Lu Xiaobu promised Zhang Shilin that as long as she gave a presentation on stage, he would write her a good article. "Teacher, you cant go back on your word!" Zhang Shilin stood in front of Lu Xiaobu, motionless, staring straight at him. "Hiss!" Lu Xiaobus cheeks hurt. If it had been a few days ago, he would just have given it to her, any article really. After all, back then there was still a wasteful amount of over a billion. But hes spent all that billion! Where is he supposed to find an article now? The ones he makes up on his own arent good enough. What to do? Forget it, hell just think of a way to waste some wealth and find an article afterwards. "Um, wait a moment, your teacher needs to find some inspiration." Thats all Lu Xiaobu could muster to fend her off. While saying this, he opened the live stream. The fastest way to waste wealth. Albeit a bit low! But for a million, lets still give it a go. Lu Xiaobu first went to Qin Ces live stream. This guy was still as talkative as ever. Playing games while bragging! Right now, he was boasting about the things that happened at last years annual gala. "Have you ever seen a hundred million in cash? As in, a throne made from a hundred million? You havent, right? I have, and I even sat on it! You cant even imagine this life!" In the chat, theres nothing but laughter. "Here he goes bragging again!" "Hahaha, I love listening to your tall tales!" "The great broadcaster of society, faint-hearted but talkative!" "Just yesterday you were boasting about owning a mine, and today its turned into a hundred million in cash!" "..." Lu Xiaobu didnt say much. He directly donated 100* treasure maps. Yep, five hundred thousand! The chat in the live stream exploded. "Holy moly, 666666!" "Amazing donor, save a spot for me!" "Five hundred thousand! Thats five hundred thousand, just like that? This is what you call real mine-owner wealth, right?" "Awesome! Mind-blowing!" "Digging for treasure!" "..." Only some of the regular viewers knew whose account this was. However, they didnt make any noise about it, because they all knew Lu Xiaobus personality; who knows if hes playing the fool to catch the wise now. After splurging five hundred thousand in Qin Ces stream, Lu Xiaobu ran over and did the same for Li Ying. The two of them were personally recruited by him; they were his direct employees. It was proper to provide some benefits. Li Yings chat was also full of 666s. "Amazing donor, save me a spot!" "I can sing too!" "I dont just sing; I can strip too!" Well, the next second, the kid who offered to strip was kicked out of the live stream. Li Yings face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, thank you." She also didnt reveal Lu Xiaobus name. Lu Xiaobu thought about it and didnt leave right away but asked a question: "By the way, Li Ying, why dont you try out for The Voice? Your voice should be eligible, I think!" After that, he slipped away. It was just a spur-of-the-moment suggestion from him, nothing too serious. Naturally, after saying that, he left. But upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Li Ying fell into silence. She started to ponderwas Young Master Bu suggesting she give "The Voice" a shot? Or what?! ... Lets not concern ourselves with the live streaming room. Lu Xiaobu splurged a million and could finally redeem an article. The system expressed its disdain, "Just a million?" "Cut the crap! Why so fussy? Hurry and churn out an article for me!" Lu Xiaobu glared. The system had been spoiled by him; it even found a million too little! Seriously! "Fine, fine! Ill find you one with fewer words!" The system reluctantly continued, "Also, Im fronting you the money this time, remember to pay me back." This time it really didnt scam Lu Xiaobu. It actually did front the money. "I know, like you havent scammed enough out of me already?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes as he spoke. Very soon, an article titled "On Horses" was sent to Lu Xiaobus hands. He then quickly passed it to Zhang Shilin, eager to send her away. Zhang Shilin was frowning at the time. Her mentor was really unreliable. To think he went looking for inspiration in live streams of young girls dancing. What kind of article did he intend to give her? However. When the article reached her hands, her eyes shone with excitement. What a great article, such a great article! The teacher really has immense talent! Such rare, immense talent in the world!! Overcome with excitement, she didnt leave, instead, she sat down on the couch and began to study it intensely. Seeing Zhang Shilin so engrossed, Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched. Letting her in this state leave? Forget it, better he leave! In fact, Lu Xiaobu hadnt gone far at all, just to another room to play video games. He was in the middle of a team battle. Su Luoxue walked in with a phone in her hand: "Boss, youve got a call." "Who is it?" Lu Xiaobu, busy with his game, asked. "Its a call from the Writers Association." Su Luoxue said. "The Writers Association?" Lu Xiaobu frowned, then lifted his head, signaling Su Luoxue to bring the phone to his ear. This was his first encounter with the Writers Association. Reluctantly, Su Luoxue held the phone to Lu Xiaobus ear. Smelling Su Luoxues faint fragrance, Lu Xiaobu continued his game while speaking, "I am Lu Xiaobu." "Hello Mr. Lu, Im from the Writers Association. Were calling because we would like to invite you to join the Imperial Writers Association." A female voice on the other end said. "No." Lu Xiaobus response was crisp and decisive. He thought it was something important, but it turned out to be this. Why did he take on an apprentice? Wasnt it to avoid dealing with literary matters? And now they even wanted him at the Writers Association. Is he out of his mind?! "This!" The voice on the other end paused. They had never encountered such a blunt rejection. But upon realizing it was Lu Xiaobu on the other end, she came to terms with it. With a wry smile, she could only move onto the second request: "Then, would you allow your apprentice, Ms. Zhang Shilin, to join the Writers Association? We would like to extend her an invitation as well." Ever since Zhang Shilins analysis a few days prior, they had set their sights on her. Of course, this was also thanks to the recommendation from Teacher Liu Chen. Their thought process was simple: as long as they establish a good relationship with Zhang Shilin, wouldnt they also be closer to Lu Xiaobu? "Um... if she agrees, then hurry up and take her!" Lu Xiaobu said in haste. Such a dedicated apprentice is better suited with the literary crowd. Call her back when needed. And just like that, without even realizing it, Zhang Shilin was sold out by her teacher! sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 447 - 445: Slave Master [8th Update] Chapter 447: Chapter 445: Slave Master [8th Update]When Zhang Shilin received the call from the writers association, she was completely bewildered! "Who said I wanted to join the writers association?" Zhang Shilin was totally confused. "Your mentor recommended you." the writers association explained. "Which mentor?" Zhang Shilin had no interest in joining any writers association. Its not that its bad, its just too much hassle. "Both mentors recommended you." the writers association replied. "Me!" Zhang Shilin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Was she sold out by two mentors conspiring together? But there was no choice, she was someone who respected her teachers and their instructions, so since both mentors wanted her to go, she decided to make a visit. Arriving at the Imperial writers association with the address in hand. The folks at the writers association expressed their welcome. Filling out forms, writing applications, a whole lot of messy stuff. The more she dealt with these things, the more irritated Zhang Shilin became. This was far from her experiences with Mentor Liu Chen. And, even more so, from her time with Mentor Lu Xiaobu. It was all about forms, not literature! Finally, after enduring a lot of patience, she finished everything, thinking that would be it. Turned out, there was still some sort of meet-and-greet to deal with. The leaders of the writers association wanted to meet her and asked her to wait. The fire in Zhang Shilins heart flared up fiercely. This girl had a fiery temper, especially now when "Horse Talk" was waiting for her research, which made her even more impatient, and the veins on her hands were popping up! However, she was somewhat poor at expressing herself verbally, so she could only continue to suppress her temper. Wait! Keep waiting! As soon as she met them, she would immediately leave! Finally, after all the dithering, they arrived. Two old men. One she recognized, from the writers association, who often met with Mentor Liu, seemed to be named Wen. The second she did not know. Thus. "Mentor Wen, hello, Im leaving." Zhang Shilin said, and turned around to leave. Mentor Wen had just opened his mouth to greet her when he heard her utterance. He was just stood there, stunned! Whats going on?! "Pfft!" Everyone from the writers association onsite almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. You just say that upon meeting and then leave?! What are you trying to do?! Seeing the expressions of the people around him, Mentor Wen gave a wry smile, waved his hands, and indicated it was all right. He had seen this girl before at Liu Chens. He roughly understood her temperament and character; although it was a bit embarrassing, overall he could understand. But! Just because he understood didnt mean others would. For example. The old man next to him. This old man was Zhu Haixuan, who had also just joined the writers association. He had a certain reputation in the literary world and also had a good number of fans. Because he was older, many people would respectfully address him as Mentor Zhu, Mentor Wen had gone to pick up Mentor Zhu. "Young lady, stop there!" Mentor Zhu wore an unhappy expression on his face. Its said that literati disdain each other, and its not false at all. Zhu Haixuan was used to being a teacher, and this time coming to the Writers Association, he was personally received by Elder Wen. But as soon as he entered, he got dissed by a young girl, could he swallow that?! sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Whats the matter?!" Zhang Shilin stopped and turned around, slightly impatiently saying, "Im really very busy." What she said was the truth, but it managed to infuriate Zhu Haixuan in an instant. Whats the meaning of this, I, as an elder, havent even lost my patience yet, and here this little girl has already lost hers. Taking a deep breath he said, "Youre young, I wont stoop to your level, tell me, who is your teacher? Ill go find him, I want to see how he teaches his students." "Elder Zhu, forget it, forget it, this girl has just joined the Writers Association today, dont bother with her," Elder Wen advised from the side. But instead of calming down, this only made Zhu Haixuan even angrier. What? This impolite little girl has just joined the Writers Association? Hes actually on the same level as a little girl?! Could he endure this?! Suddenly, Zhu Haixuans voice became even more stern: "Little girl, tell me, who is your teacher?! Tell me!" Even now, he was still putting on airs, unwilling to communicate with Zhang Shilin as an equal! "My teacher is Lu Xiaobu, what do you want to do?" Zhang Shilin stood firm, turning back to look at Zhu Haixuan. "Lu Xiaobu?" Zhu Haixuans brow furrowed, searching hard in his mind for the name. Finally, he had an epiphany. "Is it the author of Youthful Heavenly Dynasty?" Zhu Haixuan remembered, but there was a hint of disdain on his face: "If Im not mistaken, that Lu Xiaobu is a prodigal son, right? A good-for-nothing prodigal who dares to establish a school of thought with just Youthful Heavenly Dynasty?" Hearing this, even Elder Wens expression darkened. This was blatant targeting. Why Lu Xiaobu took Zhang Shilin as a disciple, he knew all too well; it was clearly the outcome of a couplet competition lost by Liu Chen and Lu Xiaobu. Elder Wen was angry, which shows just how infuriated Zhang Shilin, a girl who respected her teachers, must have been. "My teacher may not be worthy enough to establish a school of thought, but you are even less qualified!" Zhang Shilin looked at Zhu Haixuan angrily: "Perfect timing, my teacher has written a new article, for you!" "There is a Boluo only then there are Thousand-Li Horses. Thousand-Li Horses are common, but a Boluo is not always present. Hence, even if there is a famous horse, if degraded by the hands of a slaver, it dies next to the trough and manger, not recognized for its Thousand-Li ability." "Such a horse capable of traveling Thousand-Li, at one meal may finish a stone of grain. The feeder of the horse doesnt know its potential to travel Thousand-Li, hence doesnt feed it accordingly. This horse, even though capable of Thousand-Li, if not sufficiently fed, lacks energy, its beauty unseen from the outside, and moreover, wishes to be equal with ordinary horses but cannot. How could one seek its Thousand-Li ability?" "Emaciated by not following its way, starved and unable to showcase its talent, beckoned and unable to convey its meaning, holding the reins standing before it, exclaiming, There are no horses in this world! Alas! Are there truly no horses? Or is it that they do not know of a horse?" Zhang Shilins literary foundation was not something superficial. In just a short time, she had memorized "On Horses" given to her by Lu Xiaobu! And she slapped Zhu Haixuan hard with it! Zhu Haixuans face turned green! A slaver? Degraded by the hands of a slaver? Dying next to the trough and manger? Was this saying that he was not fit to be a teacher, that he would only misguide the youth and was unworthy to establish a school of thought? Listen to how poisonous these words were? Thousand-Li Horses were being trained into waste by him?! And unable to recognize a Thousand-Li Horse! This slap was painfully on point! He just said that others were not qualified to establish a school of thought, and here they slapped him with an article! He was furious, but Elder Wens eyes were shining, his entire being excited: "Good! What great writing! This article is astonishing!" Such a wonderful article! A brilliant "On Horses," comparing horses to people, using horses to educate people! It perfectly complemented the previous "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty," one educating children, the other educating educators! A masterpiece! Absolutely a masterpiece! However, Elder Wens words were like another slap on Zhu Haixuans face, causing even more pain! An article criticizing him was praised as a great piece by Elder Wen! What a humiliating slap! Elder Wen couldnt care less about that old rascal; his eyes blazing as he looked at Zhang Shilin: "This article, did you write it or was it Lu Xiaobu?" "Of course, it was written by my teacher!" Zhang Shilin proudly stated. She felt extremely happy and a bit proud seeing the person who insulted her teacher get a fierce slap in the face! "Then can you contact your teacher for me? Ive long admired his work," Elder Wen said eagerly. "My teacher is busy playing games, he has no time," Zhang Shilin stated truthfully. Elder Wen: "..." At this moment, Zhu Haixuan was no longer the focus of anyones attention; even if he left with a disgraced and downtrodden look, there was no one to see him off! Chapter 448 - 446: The Battle of One [Ninth Update] Chapter 448: Chapter 446: The Battle of One [Ninth Update]Regardless of the matters with the Writers Association, lets return to Lu Xiaobu. Just as previously mentioned, the Wen Family Hall finally couldnt sit still any longer. They gave Lu Xiaobu a call to schedule a meeting. Lu Xiaobu thought about it and still decided to go. Both parties met and settled in a private room of a business club. "Whats the matter?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Wen Family Hall and asked. The Wen Family Hall still bore the appearance of a gentle and refined middle-aged man. But the occasional sharp gleam in his eyes revealed that he was never a literati but a businessman. A businessman who swallows others whole without spitting out their bones. "I know Mr. Lu dislikes beating around the bush, so Ill be straightforward." Wen Family Hall stood up and poured a cup of tea for Lu Xiaobu, appearing like two old friends reminiscing, but the words that came out were rather sharp: "I want to declare war on you!" "Declare war?" Lu Xiaobu slightly raised his eyebrows: "How so? Have I threatened your business?" "Not really, our current businesses havent intersected yet, but they will soon," said Wen Family Hall with a smile, but his eyes gradually sharpened. He would absolutely not cede the top position on the Third Level Rich List willingly! "Lets fight then." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, stood up, and stretched: "If theres nothing else, then Im leaving." "Of course, in business, we speak plainly. Please dont mind it!" Wen Family Hall remained seated, not moving. Lu Xiaobu strode away. Wen Family Hall picked up the teacup, looked at the seat where Lu Xiaobu had just sat, where he had personally poured tea, but Lu Xiaobu hadnt touched the tea at all, he then downed the tea in his hand. Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The battle had started! Lu Xiaobu was too fast. If ignored, along with his fearsome one hundred thousand Iron Cavalry, in no more than three months, the number one position on the Third Level Rich List would change hands. He did not want to hand over his position so easily. Therefore, he could only fight with all his might. And in the industrial field, competing with Lu Xiaobu was not easy. Whether it was Shadow, Coke, Lao Ganma, or Brain Black Gold, it was not possible to find a product that could compete in a short period of time. Therefore, the Wen Family Hall set its sights on Juechen Live Platform. This was an emerging industry relying solely on traffic and audience, where employees could not make much of a difference! In this field, he could maximize the removal of Lu Xiaobus advantage! And for this battle, he had prepared for a long time and was bound to win! With that thought in mind, Wen Family Hall set the teacup on the table, stood up, and left. His exit direction was exactly the opposite of Lu Xiaobus! ... That same afternoon. Wen Groups prepared live-streaming platformNiu Long Live Platform, came online without warning. Instantly, the entire live-streaming industry, which had been continually admitting new platforms wanting a share of the pie since Lu Xiaobu started his live-streaming business, collectively cried outThe wolf is coming! Indeed! Niu Long Live Platform made a very quick move. At the moment of its launch, it boldly announced that the Twelve Main Gods would join the Niu Long Live Platform. This news immediately exploded in the live-streaming industry and among the audiences. Everyone began to speculate. "The Twelve Main Gods? That sounds terrifying!" "Yes, does this mean twelve major hosts are joining Niu Long?" "Thats really a grand gesture! But, where did Niu Long find so many hosts?!" "Where else could it be? Definitely poaching! They even mentioned the Twelve Main Gods, which means theyre targeting well-known top streamers, and arent all these top streamers on other platforms?" "That makes sense, without platforms, without broadcasters, poaching is undoubtedly the go-to strategy." "..." Indeed, just as everyone speculated, the live streaming industry soon sparked a vigorous poaching movement. First, the top streamer of the Liuke Live PlatformXiao Afei announced joining the Niu Long Live Platform, and exposed the scandal of Liuke withholding salaries. In no time, the Liuke Live Platform was thrust into the limelight, with continuous news about them withholding salaries, throwing the platform into complete disarray! Furious, the president of the Liuke Live Platform slammed the table furiously, "Damn it, Wen Family Hall, have the guts to go after Juechen! What skill is there in bullying us?!" But that was just the beginning. Xingji Live Platforms top streamerBrother Long announced his switch, revealing scandals about Xingji blocking popularity and restricting streamers growth! Two out of the three top game streamers on Danjun Live Platform switched platforms one after another, pointing out the internal corruption and unfair distribution of resources. Following that, the phone lines of various live platforms buzz with their top streamers switching platforms. Some platforms even lost all their main anchors overnight. Moreover, every streamer, during their platform switch, seemed instructed by someone, or perhaps not, to smear their original platform as much as possible. Of course, this is understandable. After all, streamers seek popularity, and once their persona collapses, their popularity might disappear completely. Switching platforms is not something to be proud of. So, how can we turn this situation into something to be admired? That would only be possible by making the former bosses look disgraceful. Meanwhile, the official website of the Niu Long Live Platform showcased the photos of the Twelve Main Gods, one after another. Ten Main Gods had been gathered. Of the Twelve Main Gods, only two had yet to appear! At this point, almost every live room had been swept through by the Niu Long Live Platform. Who else was left? Only the Crownless King of the live roomsJuechen Live, the unparalleled Juechen Live Platform. As expected! The eleventh Main God emerged. Juechen Live Platforms LOL game streamerTeacup announced his switch. But unlike the previous Main Gods, Teacup kept mum about any so-called dark points of the Juechen Live Platform. Not just keeping mum, he didnt even mention a word. He simply statedswitching platforms soon, hoping for continued support. How could the netizens who were used to watching fierce battles endure this? Loving a good show, they were eagerly waiting for Juechens dark secrets. After all, the other platforms were minor, and exposing some dark secrets was just for fun. What they were most looking forward to were the dark secrets of Juechen Live! "Teacup, come on, tell us, has Juechen withheld your salary?" "Yeah, tell us! Did Juechen also limit your popularity? I heard that inside Juechen youre hardly valued, only Qin Ce and Li Ying are truly valued?" "Youre leaving anyway, whats there to fear? Expose them!" "Thats right, dont be afraid, spill the beans, and well report them!" "..." These were all the comments on Teacups Weibo. Yet Teacup did not mention anything, did not respond. In the end, not sure whether he got some order, or maybe just got annoyed by it all, he lost his cool! Teacup shouted on Weibo. "Dark points? Damn it, I cant find any dark points! Fuck! Wasnt it just my contract expiring! Someone offered a higher salary! Do you have to press me so hard?! Damn! Can I not switch if thats what you want? Boss Juechen, Young Master Bu, I want to come back home!" Well, that was the shortest attempt at switching ever! What a fast slap on the face! Chapter 449 - 447: Broadcast Until Death【10th Update】 Chapter 449: Chapter 447: Broadcast Until Death10th UpdateThe moment Teacups Weibo post was released, it immediately caused a huge uproar. "Whoa, is that really necessary?" "Twelve Main Gods, and before you know its down to eleven already?" "Hahaha! Im dying! This Twelve Main Gods title sounds so grand, but they barely poached one person from Juechen and he jumped right back." "The slap to the face sounds loud!" "I bet the boss of Niu Long Live Platform is turning green!" "Im dying of laughter!" "..." There were also viewers from Juechen Live Platform who liked the post. "Good on you, why wander off? Its so comfy at home!" "Exactly, after seeing other live platforms, Juechen is still the most comfortable, no contest!" "When has Young Master Bu ever let you guys down? Teacup, you really were blinded by money, but making amends is good!" "Come back! My fan badge thankfully hasnt fallen off yet." "Welcome home!" "..." Wen Family Hall was furious when they saw the message. He called his CEO over and fiercely scolded him: "Are you stupid? Why did you have to pressure that guy named Teacup?" The CEO of Niu Long Live was also full of grievances and confusion: "How would I know! Wasnt everything agreed upon? And its the usual practice! Trash talking the former platform before switching can maximize profits." "But damn it, you have to consider the person! Lu Xiaobu is not just anyone! Can normal tricks work on him?" Wen Family Hall exploded with anger! "How was I to know Lu Xiaobu was so tricky! Without saying a word, he just turned the situation around!" The CEO was genuinely at his wits end. He used to be a CEO at other platforms and was poached by Wen Family Hall. "Alright, enough, go ahead, raise the price again for Teacup, let him come back, it cant just end like this." Wen Family Hall was incredibly frustrated. Actually, he also knew that the CEOs strategy wasnt wrong, everything was in order. After all, these streamers arent Xiaobus Iron Cavalry! They are all guild-signed streamers, not direct employees of Xiaobus company. Logically, their loyalty shouldnt be that high. If it really were the Iron Cavalry employees, agreeing to switch wouldnt even have been an option. Like that Qin Ce, or that Li Ying. The two of them are from the Iron Cavalry, he even once offered them signing fees up to thirty million, but both simply wouldnt even listen or care! However. Just when everyone thought Lu Xiaobu hadnt made a move yet but had turned the tables. Lu Xiaobu posted on Weibo: "Go wherever you want, Juechen Live Platform wont pay your penalty fee." After posting on Weibo, Lu Xiaobu sat at home and snickered. What? Am I supposed to pay for your mistakes? Sorry, I dont need this so-called turning the tables! Upon these words. The internet immediately exploded. "Whoa, Lu Xiaobu is awesome!" "Thats some powerful statement!" "Go wherever you want, what does that mean? Its telling you, we at Juechen dont want traitors!" "So badass! Super cool!" "..." Everyone knows Lu Xiaobu as a notorious spendthrift. But now, hearing him say he has no money? That means just one thingonce you leave, dont come back! Not wanted! Keep in mind Teacup isnt some minor streamer, he has hundreds of thousands of fans on Juechen Live Platform, otherwise, he wouldnt have been christened as one of the Twelve Main Gods by Long Niu Live! But now? Lu Xiaobu said if he doesnt want it, then he doesnt need it. Let it go wherever it wants to go. Although its a bit capricious, its exactly this boldness, exactly this domineering attitude, that no other live platform can match. Of course, being domineering has its costs. There are indeed losses. After all, a streamer always has his loyal fans. This action is essentially giving up traffic amounting to hundreds of thousands! However, no one really discussed this aspect. After all, as a famously prodigal son, for Lu Xiaobu, this level of squandering is just like splashing water! When the news reached Wen Family Hall, they were more than thrilled: "Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu, you chose to give it up yourself, so dont blame me." Feeling great, as long as the formation of the Twelve Main Gods remains unbroken now, his subsequent plans wont be much affected. On the other hand, Teacup wore a bitter expression. He always felt he had made a wrong move. Not sure why, but he just felt it. He felt he would soon regret it! Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With the matter of the eleventh Main God sorted, Everyones attention shifted towards the twelfth Main God. They were all guessing who this twelfth Main God could be. "Could it still be Juechen Live Platform?" "Its possible, after all, Juechen Live Platform is currently the undisputed leader, and Niu Long Live is obviously targeting Juechen Live, pressurizing competitors while elevating oneself, why not?" "Could it be Qin Ce? He is the pillar of Juechen Live Platform; if he really was poached, then Juechen Live is done for!" "No way! Qin Ce once said he would never change platforms." "Who can be sure?" "This thought of prioritizing interests, as long as theres absolute benefit, nothing can deter people!" "..." Because Niu Long Live has always been secretive about the twelfth Main God, So, the online speculation has become more and more intense. It has even impacted Qin Ces streaming. Daily, there was a massive amount of bandwagoning. Eventually, Qin Ce exploded. "Fuck you all, can you stop spamming every day?! Ive said it, Ill never switch platforms in my lifetime! Young Master Bu has shown me great kindness, I cant and absolutely will not change platforms! Im putting it here today, even if one day Young Master Bu doesnt want me anymore, then I would rather quit the live streaming industry than leave Juechen Live Platform!" Qin Ces statement curbed some of the noise. Absolute loyalty! But it didnt have much effect. After all, everyone has the same mentality hiding behind their screens, you cant hit me! There would always be some jealousy-driven malicious bandwagoning. For instance, after Little Afey left, Iron Root who became a mainstay on another platform, started taking veiled digs and indirect criticisms online and live. "Im telling you, so-called loyalty is bullshit nowadays! Its just the money not being enough! If the money is right, all this loyalty is fake!" "Displaying loyalty? Why display loyalty? Just to saylook, Im showing loyalty, now give me a raise? Otherwise, I might leave!" "So, you see, not many good folks among streamers!" Such rhetoric wasnt just from one person. Many streamers were speaking on it, causing Qin Ces fans to be on edge. Every day, they worried whether Qin Ce would suddenly switch teams! Even Qin Ce who often used to be late, now dared not delay. Because every delay would set off a new bandwagon. Not only did he stop being late, but he also began arriving early, working overtime, and sometimes pulling all-nighters. Qin Ces old fans watched this with immense heartache. But they also knew that Qin Ce was trying to prove through his actions his loyalty to Juechen Live Platform and to Lu Xiaobu! To death! Chapter 450 - 448: Things That Can’t Be Seen from the Outside【11th Update】 Chapter 450: Chapter 448: Things That Cant Be Seen from the Outside11th UpdateLu Xiaobu is busy wasting money right now. He just cant help it. Whenever he sees that his wasteful amount is zero, he feels terribly uncomfortable. Its like going out without a wallet. It completely ruins his mood! First, he transferred a million to Qin Ce, telling him to relax and not worry about anything else. Then he just sat there, daydreaming! "Sister Lan, lets buy an island and have some fun." Lu Xiaobu suddenly got the idea as he looked at the beautiful island scenery on the TV background wall. "An island? Does Young Master want one in our country or abroad?" Liang Lan was not surprised and asked calmly. "Can we buy islands domestically?" Lu Xiaobu was startled when he heard Liang Lans words. He had always heard that islands could be bought overseas, but now it seemed that they could also be bought domestically. "Yes, you can. On Qian Island Lake, you can buy islands; well, actually its leasing, with only a fifty-year usage right, similar in nature to leasing a piece of land." Liang Lan explained aloud. "Thats great!" Lu Xiaobu suddenly lit up, "If I can buy an island domestically, why go abroad?" "Alright, Ill go make the arrangements.", Liang Lan nodded, "The largest one?" "Of course, the largest one!" Lu Xiaobu confirmed decidedly. Of course, he also knew that this so-called largest one would definitely be the largest one allowed for leasing. After all, the real largest ones are being developed by the nation, and it wouldnt be his turn yet. Believe it or not, the effects of being the second on the Third Level Rich List are evident now. For others, buying... well, actually leasing, would definitely require lots of procedures and extensive verification, as leasing an island for fifty years isnt as simple as buying vegetables. But for Lu Xiaobu. Liang Lan made a phone call and basically had rough confirmation. The other party also welcomed Lu Xiaobus island leasing and offered some corresponding preferential policies. All Lu Xiaobu needed to do was find time to personally confirm and sign the relevant documents. Some might say its a joke, even with money you cant do this. But, you should know, this isnt Earth. Here, the rich list holds great power and social credibility. Lu Xiaobu, being the second on the Third Level Rich List, implied that he was wealthy and had strong personal and social integrity. Why wouldnt such a wealthy and virtuous person be allowed to lease? Remembering his desire to squander, Lu Xiaobu directly flew there in the afternoon. Signing the necessary documents, guarantees, confirmations, and so on. Once the documents were settled, Lu Xiaobu immediately paid up. He spent 1.5 billion to lease the largest uninhabited and undeveloped island on Qian Island Lake. What it was called before doesnt matter now; Lu Xiaobu has named it C Sword Island! Some asked why its called Sword Island. The reason is very mysterious. Because the outline of the island resembles a sword. Ahem. Very mysterious! "Sister Lan, arrange for some villas, basic infrastructure, etc., on the island. This summer vacation, Ill bring my dad and others over to have fun." Lu Xiaobu, looking at the barren island in front of him, gave orders to Liang Lan. He was somewhat excited. Wow, starting from today, he is the Island Master! Hahaha! Its been a long time since the last wow, missing it a bit, arent you?! "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded. She decided to go back and let Su Luoxue handle this matter. Theres no way around it, shes too busy now. The normal operation of the company is fine with the seven Hulu Brothers, no need to worry. But "The Voice" always needs a checkup from time to time. Plus, recently, Long Nius live streaming from the Wen Family Hall has been fiercely aggressive, and although it doesnt seem like a big deal at the moment, she still needs to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, if the Young Master decides to make a move and she knows nothing about it, that would be negligence. So, let Su Luoxue come over for this. Well, she absolutely didnt intend to pull Su Luoxue away from the Young Masters side, absolutely not... uh... okay, maybe just a tiny bit, yes, just a tiny bit indeed! ... Lu Xiaobu was buying an island here while Long Nius live streaming finally unveiled the twelfth of the Twelve Main Gods. It was a photo that really kept everyones appetites hanging. Countless people were anxiously waiting to see who it was! Alright, the Wen Family Hall admits, this trick was learned from Lu Xiaobu. It was that looping image of Sun Wanqi last time! Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The result is finally out. Its not a host, its a celebrity! A popular young celebrity named Fei Fan. Fei Fan became the hottest young celebrity after Han Meng was crushed by Lu Xiaobu and dared not be arrogant anymore. To suppress Juechens live broadcasting and maintain its leading position on the Third Level Rich List, Wen Family Hall really went all out. According to statistics, the termination fee and signing fee for the previous eleven hosts totaled eighty million. And the final signing fee for Fei Fan was a whopping 1.2 billion. Fei Fan, a young celebrity, cost even more than the previous eleven people combined! Someone might ask why, when Queen of Heaven Sun Wanqi only had a 40 million joining fee, does Fei Fan have 1.2 billion? This is a different concept; joining refers to one program. But the signing is about time! And thats not all, the building of the live streaming platform, pulling in mid and small hosts, advertising, all sorts of marketing. According to incomplete statistics, the first round of expenditure for Long Nius live broadcasting is as high as 3.7 billion; it can be said to be tremendously formidable! Other live streaming platforms were all panicked. They began trying to raise funds, attract investments, aiming to increase advertising and also started copying Long Niu to invite celebrities to live stream. Hoping they could retain the viewers. After all, live streaming is all about viewer traffic; without it, everything is pointless! However, other live streaming platforms are busy as hell, but Juechen has become even more calm, without any motion at all. Even Qin Ce said this during a live stream: "Finally, those so-called Twelve Main Gods have been assembled, damn, always stirring things up, its annoying as hell!" From the sound of it, it seems like Juechen live streaming is even hoping Long Niu would wrap it up quickly. Although this isnt Lu Xiaobus intention, Qin Ce is directly affiliated with Lu Xiaobu, so with Qin Ce saying such things, outsiders cant help but think of Lu Xiaobu! Look at that tough talk! Get it done quickly, dont dilly-dally! And add to that the intentional or unintentional promotions by Long Niu. Suddenly, a lot of negative comments about Lu Xiaobu and Juechens live broadcasting surfaced online. "Lu Xiaobu chickened out!" "It seems that even against the top of the Third Level Rich List, Wen Family Hall, the battle-hardened Lu Xiaobu doesnt stand a chance!" "Yeah, after all, they are the top, and Lu Xiaobu is only second!" "Have you guys checked out Long Nius live streaming? Its awesome!" "Really? Whats so great about it? Ill tell you, there are things in there you cant see on Juechens live streaming!" "Seriously?! Damn, I need to check it out!" "Indeed, being number one shows the different mettle, much stronger than Lu Xiaobu! Look at them, they dont have anything they cant show!" "Lu Xiaobu cant cut it!" "..." With the online world ablaze, Lu Xiaobu, backed by a wasteful amount of 1.5 billion, finally sets his sights on this so-called rival! Chapter 451 - 449: The Power to Smash the Place [12th Update] Chapter 451: Chapter 449: The Power to Smash the Place [12th Update]While Lu Xiaobu was returning home after buying the island. Long Nius live streaming had officially started, and it was phenomenal. Out of the twelve main gods, the fresh meat sensation Fei Fan especially brought in massive traffic. Other platforms were quick to act as well. After securing funding, they immediately started inviting celebrities. Following the precedent set by the popular Fei Fan, inviting celebrities did not prove too difficult. Of course, not all were popular fresh meats. Some invited second-tier celebrities, others third-tier, and the least successful even managed a celebrity from the eighteenth tier just for appearances. And these celebrities were quite effective. Legions of these celebrities loyal fans poured into these platforms, seizing the chance to get closer to their idols. Suddenly, the entire live streaming industry seemed to turn into a celebrity hub; no matter which platform you visited, there were celebrities streaming. The real streamers, however, were having a tough time. After all, viewers were all watching the celebrities now, and all the gifts were going to the celebrities, leaving them with nothing. Even on Long Niu Live Streaming, it was the same, so to snatch some food from these celebrities, they all resorted to exploiting every trick in the book. The borderline strategies kept on coming. Thats why previous viewers said that on Long Niu Live Streaming, they saw things they couldnt see on Juechen Live Platform! But just like before, while all other platforms were taking action, only Juechen Live Platform remained eerily calm. Even when they saw the traffic being drawn to other platforms, there was no reaction at all! And now, Long Niu Live Streaming was beginning their next move. Initially, Long Niu Live Streaming dug into main streamers, the main gods. Now, they switched their focus to the smaller streamers. It made sense, after all, you couldnt just have all big streamers! You need to fill up the front. So, just like at the beginning, many streamers were poached by the foolishly wealthy Long Niu Live Streaming. This infuriated the people at the other platforms. Lawsuits were flying everywhere, suing this streamer for breach of contract, suing that streamer for breach. Of course, Juechen Live also saw many of its streamers poached. There was even a guild that was completely poached in its entirety. The loss was heavy! However! Even so. Juechen Live remained inactive. The internet was blowing up. "What is Juechen Live doing? Others are bullying them to their face, and they arent fighting back!?" "This isnt Lu Xiaobus style at all!" "What is Lu Xiaobu actually doing?!" "He cant really be scared, can he?" "This is way too timid!" "..." Online discussions were rampant. Yet, the Juechen Company under Lu Group remained unconcerned, some even had a mocking smile. Not for any other reason, but because they were looking at the daily traffic chart in front of them. Sorry, but the supposedly failing Juechen Live Platform had not only sustained its daily IP traffic but even saw a slight increase these last few days! Since Long Niu Live was targeting Juechen, those who liked watching drama would definitely watch both sides. Why not enjoy the free advertising? "Really, theyre all amateurs." "They think by poaching a few streamers, they can seriously hurt Juechen?" "Ah, dont they realize that the more unconfident a person is, the louder theyll yell?" "Long Niu made a good move, but they picked the wrong opponent! The loyalty of Juechen Lives audience isnt easily shaken." "..." If you ask who has the most loyal audience in the live streaming world, no need for debate, its definitely Juechen. Whys that? Because Juechen was the first platform to start in the live streaming industry and its also affiliated with the Shadow company, buying a Shadow phone always comes with Juechen Live. Which platform will a user who bought a Shadow phone be most loyal to? Definitely Juechen! ... And at this moment. Lu Xiaobu finally turned his attention to what seemed to be a formidable Long Niu Live Streaming, which had unintentionally been slapped in the face by him twice already. Guess what he went to do? Yes, he went to watch a live stream. What? You find it unbelievable that Lu Xiaobu would go to a competitors platform to watch a stream? Whats so surprising about that? You all know what Lu Xiaobu is like! "Hey, not bad, pretty similar to Juechen." Lu Xiaobu watched the bullfighting live broadcast interface and nodded slightly. Liang Lan covered her mouth and giggled beside himwhat Young Master said, isnt every live broadcast platform on the market modeled after Juechen? At the same time, a hint of pride surged in her eyes. How does it matter if you all jump around? In terms of live broadcasting, Juechen has been ahead of you for who knows how long. You should know that the original design of the Juechen Live Platform was personally participated by Young Master Bu! Also, you think its a good thing that Young Master Bu is watching live streams? Have you forgotten his ability to smash the scene?! Lu Xiaobu first opened the Star Show section, and clicked on the female anchor Xiaofei who had been poached. Once clicked, Lu Xiaobus eyes lit up. Do you know what Xiaofei was doing? She was dancing. What dance? The Fierce Shake dance, that amplitude, tsk! Damn freaking awesome! Freaking awesome! Freaking! Cough cough cough cough! What more is there to say, Lu Xiaobu directly tipped a hundred rockets. One rocket is a thousand bucks. Thats one hundred thousand bucks! Instantly, the whole live stream room exploded! "Wow, a top spender! This has got to be the first big spender on Long Niu Live!" "6666! Awesome! Truly grand!" "Rich man, take me with you!" "Real rich spender there!" "..." And Xiaofei, the female anchor, seeing that a big spender had arrived! Her face suddenly bloomed with smiles, coquettishly saying: "Thank you big spender brother, Ill dance another song for big spender brother!" She danced even more fiercely. The amplitude became even larger! sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Intentionally or unintentionally, she even showed glimpses of white and depth. Watching spectators in the live room were screaming with enjoyment! Yep, Lu Xiaobu too had a blast! Damn freaking awesome! When he saw Xiaofei was tired, sitting down to rest and chat, Lu Xiaobu switched to another room. This time, it was Brother Long, who had also jumped ship, originally the top broadcaster on the Star Something Live Platform. This guy is a game broadcaster. Playing LOL. As soon as Lu Xiaobu entered, wow, that operation! That positioning! Awesome! The way it was, it seemed he could even dodge plain attacks. Lu Xiaobu was utterly thrilled. He dreamed of having such skills! So, he couldnt be stingy here! Five hundred rockets. Five hundred thousand! Swoosh! Instantly, rockets rose up one after another in the live room. This so-called Brother Long, although he was top on the original live platform, where had he seen such a spender?! He was immediately dumbfounded! He hurriedly stood up, bowing and thanking: "Thank you, thank you, big brother!" Alright, this move was flawless. But, here comes the problem. Just as he stood up, both hands left the keyboard. The hero he controlled, with his flexible positioning... Penta Kill! Hehe, now this is getting interesting heh! Chapter 452 - 450 Trouble Again [13th Update] Chapter 452: Chapter 450 Trouble Again [13th Update]This scene was clearly presented in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers at the scene. What the heck? Youve taken your hands off the keyboard and even stood up to bow in thanks. And your hero still stylishly moves and then scores a Penta Kill?! Oh, damn! You really think were fools, huh! Suddenly, the live room exploded! "Go to hell, you cheater!" "I even gifted you, wanting to learn from your gameplay, damn it, and you cheat?!" "Report the cheater!" "Cursing the jerk next door! Trash!!" "Is this the so-called number one? This is the star host you paid a hefty price for?! What a joke?!" "Now I see it, your Longniu Live Platform is just trash!" "..." Not only are they furious, but Lu Xiaobu is furious too! Cheating?! Cheating in LOL?! Since when does LOL have cheats? He directly called the LOL headquarters to thoroughly investigate this matter. Soon, the result was out. It wasnt cheating, it was someone else playing for him! "Announce across the network, ban this so-called Dragon and the account that played for him, permanently ban them! Remember, get all the evidence, I dont want others accusing me of causing trouble!" Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone. His eyes showed a cold expression, LOL is his business, and to play such tricks?! Meanwhile, that Dragon was still explaining in panic. "No, no, its not cheating, I didnt cheat, its just stream delay, yes, just a delay!" Dragon continued to explain. But, his explanation, no one in the live room believed. Stream delay?! Why wasnt there a delay when you thanked for the gifts?! That standing up speed, that bowing speed was super fast! Now you say your hero scored a Penta Kill and its still just delay?! Who are you kidding?! "Report! Must report!" "This kind of trash still being a host? Do you feel no shame?!" "Suggest Longniu Live Platform to ban him!" "Exactly, this is your so-called Twelve Main Gods? Look at Juechen, when did he ever have such an issue?! Not to mention those currently with Juechen, even look at Teacup who switched platforms, when did he ever do something like this?!" "Disgraceful! Truly freaking disgraceful! Who gave you the audacity to live stream!" "..." Soon, this incident alarmed the CEO of Longniu Live Platform! Seeing this scene, he was furious! What the heck is this?! One of the Twelve Main Gods causing trouble on the first day of streaming?! The loss isnt just his, but it affects the entire Longniu Live Platform! But, anger aside, this issue still needed a resolution. After deliberation, he contacted that Dragon, clarified it was someone else playing and not cheating. He gritted his teeth and chose to cover up for Dragon. No choice! There couldnt be problems on the first day! This matter must be suppressed! So, their official statement was released. "After verification, the host Dragon wasnt cheating, but it was a delay. At that moment, due to a large influx of gifts, a delay occurred." "This is a technical error, and they are working on fixing it!" "We ask for your understanding!" "As the current largest and best live streaming platform, Longniu Live Platform would never deceive everyone." With the statement released, unexpectedly, it was quite persuasive. After all, this was an official proclamation from the Longniu Live Platform. And whos behind Longniu Live Platform? Thats the number one on the Third Level Rich ListWen Family Hall! Their words still hold some credibility. Adding to that, with a lot of intentional momentum from online trolls, finally, they managed to temporarily suppress the incident before it escalated! "So thats how it is!" "I said it, it couldnt be cheating!" "Yes, now that you mention it, I remember there was a lag!" "Exactly, exactly, I saw it too!" "Longniu Live Platform is a big platform, they wouldnt do such a thing!" "Alright, just relax and watch the live stream!" "..." Seeing the opinion online being swayed back, the CEO of Longniu Live Platform breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally!" As long as theres no trouble on the first day, everything else should be smooth. And at this moment! The LOL official also released a statement! "Permanently banning Dragon and Red Momentums accounts, both individuals are involved in streaming on others behalf, here is the evidence!" Below the statement was a dense data report. Proving that Dragon was indeed cheating! Once the statement was released! The internet exploded! An explosion akin to a nuclear bomb! "Damn it! Longniu Live, come out! What the hell is this?!" "Shit! You said it was a technical error! Is this a technical error? This is freaking playing on behalf of others!" "You are blatantly lying!" "Shit! What kind of trash platform! Not only do you not admit the problem, but you also choose to protect?!" "You really cant compare to Xiaobus Juechen platform, not by a long shot!" "Report this trash platform!" "..." The CEO of Longniu Live Platform was dumbfounded! Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Damn! What is happening? Why is this happening?! It was supposed to be playing on behalf of others, not cheating! Why would the LOL officials pay attention to this? After all, cheating would have technical responses, but playing on behalf of others is different. Not every gaming company would monitor every IP all the time! He was still confused. Wen Family Hall was furious! He stormed over: "Tell me, whats going on!? Why did this happen?! The Twelve Main Gods playing on behalf of others on the first day of our official broadcast on Longniu Live?!" He was practically exploding with anger! Being named and banned by the LOL officials, and with such detailed evidence. He had no way to refute! Because this was indeed the truth! If it had happened a few days later, it might have been okay, but this was the first day of the broadcast! The first day, and such a thing happens? This wasnt just about losing face; it felt like being stabbed! This could cost him dearly! "I dont know either! I was planning to suppress this matter and deal with it in a couple of days, but who would have expected the LOL officials to notice it!" The CEO was distraught! He thought and then said: "Could it be that Lu Xiaobu asked LOL to keep an eye on our live stream?" Then he denied it: "No, thats not right! Even with technical monitoring, it couldnt be found this quickly! After all, there are so many LOL streamers!" "Youre thinking about this now? You should be considering why this jerk got someone else to play and how to mitigate the impact!" Wen Family Hall was on the brink of exploding! He had prepared for so long, planning to make a big splash. But just as it started, it was about to end! Going on like this, how could they challenge Juechen? Or even talk about keeping the top spot on the Third Level Rich List? All bullshit! "Alright, alright, Ill think of a solution right now!" said the CEO hurriedly. Then! At that moment, more news came! Another freaking problem arose! Chapter 453 - 451: Did You Enjoy Last Night?【14th Update】 Chapter 453: Chapter 451: Did You Enjoy Last Night?14th UpdateAt this time, besides the news "Longniu Live Platforms Exorbitantly Paid Host is a Substitute Player, Permanently Banned", another news slowly came out. It was a video! The one where little Afei aggressively dances! Man, it was so thrilling to watch! "Godlike rich tips, host deliberately flaunting" "Is Longniu Live Platform really a streaming service, or a filthy platform?" "How shameless are the main hosts? What about the quality of other hosts?" "Given that a document encouraging civilized streaming was previously issued, how dare Longniu Live act like this? Are they really that audacious?" "The contrast between Juechen Live and Longniu Live, the difference is more than just minimal" "..." This news quickly reached the ears of the Wen Family Hall and the CEO of Longniu Live. At that moment, both of them were spitting blood! Damn it! One problem after another!? If it was before, this news wouldnt really matter! Just ban the host, issue an apology, say that supervision was lax, and it would be over! But now?! What time is it?! This is the first day that Longniu Live started broadcasting! And it comes right after one of their top hosts account got permanently banned! Now here comes this kind of news! Its literally adding fuel to the fire! Putting the entire Longniu Live on a skewer to roast! "F*ck! What on earth is going on?!" The Wen Family Hall was going insane, the person completely freaking out! Why? Why so much crap today!? Everything was going so well before!? And now one thing after another?! Who the hell is messing with them?! The CEO was freaking out too! "What on earth is going on? Whats happening?!" He hurriedly began to investigate! Finally, he found a tiny clue, both issues involved the same personthe rich big spender! That person who threw a hundred thousand in little Afeis stream and half a million in Long Ges stream! "Quick, check! Find out who this person really is?!" Wen Family Hall roared! While they were investigating, Lu Xiaobu was still watching a live broadcast on Longniu Live Platform. This time he was watching the livestream of the young fresh meat, Fei Fan. Well, upon entering, there was nothing but a face. It seemed like Fei Fan was broadcasting from his own home. At that moment, Fei Fan was leading everyone on a tour of his home. "Look everyone, this is my living room, where I usually drink tea and read. Reading is my biggest hobby." Hearing Fei Fans words, the live chat erupted with screams. "Ah! My Fei Fan is so different, not only handsome but also a book lover, so attractive!" "I want to have your babies!" "Fei Fan, I love you!" "Love you ten thousand!" "..." Not only that, the gifts in the livestream didnt stop coming. All kinds of rockets flying! All kinds of bulls charging! In just a few seconds since Lu Xiaobu entered, the gifts he saw already added up to fifty or sixty thousand! Fanatics are really frightening! Lu Xiaobu truly wasnt interested in this kind of young fresh meat and was about to switch rooms. But then, he noticed something in the corner of the sofa behind the talking Fei Fan. Hey, a bra? It looks quite large?! This is getting interesting. "Hey, did someone take good care of you last night?" Lu Xiaobu sent a barrage asking this. Fei Fan, immersed in the adoration from his female fans and the flood of gifts, felt very proud. No wonder he felt proud, he was the first one to set the precedent for celebrities doing live streaming. Look at these gifts, although the money isnt much, the feeling of achievement is incomparable! Lu Xiaobus purple-font barrage appeared before his eyes. First of all, let me say that after spending six hundred thousand on Longniu Live, his barrage color had long been upgraded to the most noticeable purple. Plus, not just purple, his barrage also stayed at the top position for two seconds. This was a method to stimulate viewers to tip! So, it was immediately seen by Fei Fan. Fei Fan blurted out: "Not bad, pretty awesome!" As soon as these words came out! Fei Fan immediately regretted it! Damn, I got too carried away! Who is this purple barrage?! Shit, got tricked into saying that! He was regretting it. The chat in the live room exploded. "Pretty comfortable? Pretty cool?" "What do you mean pretty cool?! " "Fei Fan oppa, what were you doing last night? What was so cool?!" "Yeah, do tell us!" "We also want to know about Fei Fan oppas life!" "..." Fei Fan saw the barrage questions, breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, his words were rather vague. He could still remedy it. So he explained with a smile: "I was reading a book last night! It was so captivating that I couldnt sleep at all!" Hearing his explanation, the brainless fans believed him. "Oh, my oppa! You are truly handsome!" "I love you so much!" "Can I have a kiss?" "..." A wave of gifts came blowing in. Then! Lu Xiaobus purple barrage spoke again: "True, with that size of a bra, itd be strange if it wasnt cool!" This purple barrage stayed at the top for two seconds, so conspicuous! Suddenly, everyone saw it! Bra? Size? Cool?! Linking these three keywords together, even an idiot could guess what was really going on! They immediately started searching on the live broadcast screen. Sure enough! A black, lace bra appeared in front of everyone. And just like the purple barrage saidit really wasnt small! Damn! So the cool and comfortable Fei Fan mentioned was about that! Oh my God! Suddenly! These brainless fans exploded! "Fei Fan hubby, you actually last night..." "Ah! Im so sad! Heartbroken!" "Damn it! Who is that woman!? I want to kill her!" "My Fei Fan hubby! Mine!" "So, you like the big ones!" "..." The barrage in the live room was filled with wails and angry shouts! Fei Fan screwed up! He totally freaked out! He turned his head and instantly saw that bra the viewer mentioned! He completely lost his cool! Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Fuck! Everyone knows now!? What the hell!? Why wasnt this thing cleaned up properly? Who the hell is behind that purple barrage!? This is definitely someone messing with him on purpose! If his persona collapses because of this, he probably would meet the same fate as Han Meng! He quickly moved the camera away. And hurriedly explained to the fans! But, it was no use! Because, Lu Xiaobu was smirking and stirring the pot. Fei Fan turned the camera towards the sofa. Lu Xiaobus purple barrage: "Hiss, you mustve done something here last night! Look, the sofa is all wrinkled!" Live broadcast: "Ah! Fei Fan! Never thought you liked this style!" "My Fei Fan ah!" "..." Fei Fan turned the camera toward the desk. Lu Xiaobu: "Tsk tsk tsk, the best position would be from behind here. Eh eh eh, whats that water stain? Could it be..." Live room: "Crying!" "Once a fan, now a hater!" "My heart!" "..." Fei Fan lost it! And at this point, Longniu Live Platform also deduced that the account belonged to Lu Xiaobu! They freaked out too! Chapter 454 - 452: Pretty Refreshing [15th Update] Chapter 454: Chapter 452: Pretty Refreshing [15th Update]Fei Fan has really gone nuts! Tortured crazy by Lu Xiaobus barrage of comments! Fuck your grandpa! Are you just looking for trouble today?! Can you associate anything with that?! He desperately explained, but the fans just wouldnt listen. That feeling was exactly like when a girl is madIm not listening, Im not listening, Im not listening! Fei Fan has lost it! In the end, he had no choice but to shut down his live broadcast! Post on Weibo, hurry to clarify! Lu Xiaobu saw the livestream was closed, so he also exited the room. Finish and depart, skill and fame deeply hidden! Yep, now the CEO of Longniu Live Platform and the Wen Family Hall also found out that the godlike rich account was Lu Xiaobu. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Wen Family Hall went crazy, totally freaking out! He had been on guard, preparing for everything, just to prevent Lu Xiaobu from making a move on him. However, who the hell would have thought that Lu Xiaobu would register an account and then come watch a livestream on his platform?! This is insane! You watch, but why the hell wherever you go, theres trouble?! The CEO of Longniu Live is also freaking out! Hes never seen anything like this! No cursing, no fighting, no business competition, just registering an account to gift their streamers?! Were enemies, rivals, got it?! At the same time, they also realized why Dragon Bro got noticed by the LOL official! Shit, if Lu Xiaobu spotted it, how could the LOL official not notice?! "Damn it! Ban that account!" Wen Family Hall clenched his teeth, eyes revealing a chilly determination: "We cant let him continue like this!" "But, Boss Wen, if we do this, wont the internet criticize our platform for being petty?" The CEO hesitated: "After all, in a way, he is a viewer, and a paying one at that!" "A viewer my ass! If you let him continue, our Longniu Live might just shut down on its first day!" Wen Family Hall exploded! What the hell are you still considering at a time like this?! Why doesnt he have someone like Liang Lan on his team? Are they all such idiots?! "Alright, alright!" The CEO got the point and hastily went to give the order! And at this moment! S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The news came in! "Popular fresh young meat Fei Fan, exposed for chaotic private life, says it feels awesome!" "Fei Fans persona collapses, countless fans turn haters!" "A war of words is coming, is this the real Fei Fan?" "The 1.2 billion contract fee could be Fei Fans final income!" "Live broadcasting? A fresh young meats chaotic private life has been broadcast live." "..." Seeing this news. "Pfft!" Wen Family Hall spat out blood three kilometers high! His face turned stupidly pale, drained of strength in an instant, and collapsed on the ground! What?! Fei Fan is in trouble too?! His 1.2 billion-signee Fei Fan is in trouble? Persona collapses?! Chaotic private life?! And it was freaking broadcast live?! The CEO of Longniu Live Platform has also gone mad, standing there stunned, eyes filled with horror and disbelief! Why?! Why is this happening?! On the first day, why is there so much chaos? Dragon Bro got permanently banned by LOL official for account boosting! Xiao AFei is walking the line and got called out for it! And now, their greatest card, Fei Fan, has been exposed for a chaotic private life! How are we supposed to go on with this?! Whats there to play?! Isnt this just damn over?! And at this moment on the internet, people are in an uproar! "So this is Longniu Live?! This is the billions worth of Longniu Live?!" "You guys spent a few billion to attract so many eyeballs, just for this?!" "You guys are really something! Really something! So damn awesome that I want to cry!" "Wen Family Hall, to think youre the first on the Third Level Rich List! Is this how you handle business?!" "Go take a look at Juechens live streams. Have they ever made a mistake in such a long time? No! Not only no, but theyve even been commended! Now look at you guys, using substitutes, skirting the rules, personality collapses, private lives in chaos! Is this your live streaming platform? Your Twelve Main Gods?!" "Forget it, what a load of bull Long Niu is, better go back to watching my Juechen! I still have my fan badge!" "Lets go, lets go, lets go together!" "Uninstalled, goodbye Longniu Live Platform!" "..." The internet was in an uproar, and the incident even alarmed the relevant authorities. After verification. The authorities issued a document. Ordering Longniu Live Platform to shut down and undergo thorough rectification! Now thats! Amazing! "Hello! Long Niu! Goodbye! Long Niu!" "The Longniu Live Platform, which cost several billion to build, only lasted one day before being ordered to rectify. Whats the reason?!" "The fastest shutdown in live streaming history" "One day before: Long Niu yelled at Juechen, Im coming for you! Today, Juechen says to Long Niu, Walk slowly, dont hurt your back." "Juechen Live continues to lead the pack" "Thinking back on Juechen Lives seemingly no-action policy, it seems that it wasnt fear but a confident display of strength and calm" Of course, there were those who, like Longniu, had noticed the godly patron. The godly patron who was at the scene every time there was trouble. After extensive inquiries. Finally! Identity confirmed! Its Lu Xiaobu! A news article came out. "Lu Xiaobu spent 600,000 on Longniu Live Platform to take down a fresh meat, a top male streamer, a top female streamer, and incidentally destroyed the several billion-invested Long Niu." "Again, a strategic genius is born! 600,000 versus 3 billion! 600,000 wins hands down!" "Is Lu Xiaobu even human? Somebody tell me if Lu Xiaobu is human?" "Divine! Lu Xiaobu is definitely divine!" "..." Seeing these news reports! 600,000!? 3 billion!? The godly patron is Lu Xiaobu!? The whole world fell into silence! "Er..." "Mmm..." "This..." "That..." "Cough cough cough..." The next second, they exploded! "Holy shit, 6666666! Please allow me to say 66666!" "Awesome! Lu Xiaobu, youre freakin awesome!" "Who says Juechen doesnt take action! Yes! Their platform takes no action, but their Lu Xiaobu does!" "Close the doors, release Lu Xiaobu!" "Just 600,000, and Long Niu Live of three billion says bye-bye, you scared yet?" "Was all of this premeditated?" "Did Lu Xiaobu plan all this from the beginning?!" "Convinced! Truly convinced!" "..." And then a fearless journalist, or rather one ready to give it all up and join the ranks of more sedate professions together with that reporter who hasnt yet come down from the mountain, started a live broadcast on Juechen. Telling everyone that he would ask Lu Xiaobu about the reasons behind his strategic genius! Encouraged by everyone, he braved the challenge and dialed Lu Xiaobus number. "Hello, Young Master Bu, Im a reporter currently live on Juechen, Id like to ask why you watched a live stream on Long Niu and even gifted items? Arent you competitors? And was all of this preplanned by you?" The reporter risked his neck with a barrage of questions. Then waited, along with the audience, with bated breath for Lu Xiaobus response. A few seconds passed. Then they heard Lu Xiaobus languid answer: "Nothing much, its just that Juechen is managed quite strictly, so I went to their live streaming platform to have some fun. You know what, it was quite enjoyable!" Once he finished that sentence. Who knows how many people went crazy! You had fun, but somebodys live streaming platform got taken down! Young Master Bu, arent you supposed to be the one squandering your familys wealth? How come you started destroying other peoples homes? Chapter 455 - 453 Chicks Pecking Rice [First Update] Chapter 455: Chapter 453 Chicks Pecking Rice [First Update]Juechen Live Platform had its gains in this battle, after all, the downfall of one platform signifies the rise of another. And the Longniu Live Platform, always seen as a rival by Juechen Live Platform, went down. Naturally, Juechen Live Platform came into focus. It was like an invisible advertisement. Instantly, Juechen Live Platforms audience traffic skyrocketed. Many streamers, especially those who had been on the Longniu Live Platform, were crying and shouting to switch over. But their applications were met withsorry, not accepting. Maybe someone would say, theres nothing wrong with them, good birds choose trees to nest, whats wrong with switching? Yes, theres nothing wrong with switching. You can choose to leave a company you think is bad, you can even choose to slander your former company, thats your freedom! But! Juechen Live Platform choosing not to accept them is also Juechens freedom. No explanations needed, nor required. Just a no! And just two days later, Juechen Live Platform saw another peak. The reason is simple. Li Ying decided to join "The Voice" after Lu Xiaobu casually mentioned it one day. And she passed the auditions to earn a spot to compete. After participating, her ethereally beautiful voice won unanimous approval from all four coaches. Finally, it was Fang Li who took her into her team. What is this? This is an invisible advertisement! Perhaps some people previously didnt like watching livestreams, but now they fell in love with Li Yings singing. Want to hear more? Head to Juechen Live Platform! Such a simple logic, they still understand. Instantly, a huge number of "The Voice" viewers flooded into Juechen Live Platform. Juechen Live Platforms traffic soared exponentially. Although this would be temporary, many viewers might leave after "The Voice" ends. But still, quite a few viewers would stay because of Li Ying, because of Qin Ce, because of other streamers. Thats enough! And when a data website revealed the stats for Juechen Live Platform. Everyone was shocked. "Sss! This!" "How to say? I kind of feel like laughing and crying at the same time?" "What does the person above mean?" "Its simple! We always thought Juechen Live Platform wasnt doing much, it was just Lu Xiaobu making an appearance on Longniu Live Platform, spending 600,000 to take down Wen Family Halls over three hundred million, but now it seems, they were making moves! They clearly had plans, but Longniu Live Platform didnt last until they acted!" "Uh... the person above, that was a low blow!" "Yes, if Wen Family Hall hears this, wouldnt they cry and faint in the toilet!?" "..." Some talented guy even made a funny meme. It shows two stick figures, one labeled Lu Xiaobu, one labeled Wen Family Hall. First picture. Lu Xiaobu and Wen Family Hall stand at the summit of the Forbidden City, both looking majestic! Wen Family Hall: "Declare war!" Lu Xiaobu: "Okay!" Second picture. Wen Family Hall is resplendent and imposing, like a Heavenly God descending. Wen Family Hall: "Take my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!" And Lu Xiaobus side, nothing special, just a dialogue box. Lu Xiaobu: "Wait while I gather Power for the big move, you take my minor move Pecking first!" Third picture. Wen Family Halls mighty Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms collide with Lu Xiaobus unremarkable Pecking! Fourth picture. Wen Family Hall clutches his chest and falls down, crying out in pain: "Ah!" While Lu Xiaobu, baffled, lays on the roof looking down: "Hey, whats wrong with you? I havent even gathered enough Power for my big move! How did you fall?!" ... When this comic came out. The whole internet went nuts laughing! "Wow! 66666! So creative! Damn creative!" "Damn, Im dying of laughter! Truly on point!" "Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu: What happened to you? I havent even gathered my power yet, and youre already dead? Hold on, my stomach hurts, let me laugh some more!" "Im convinced, totally convinced! Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms got wrecked by Lu Xiaobus pecking chicken! Hahahaha!" "Awesome, awesome!" "..." This drawing also made its way to the anxious eyes of the Wen Family Hall. He glanced at it. "Pfft!" A spurt of old blood for three kilometers! His face turned completely green! He was fuming! What? Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms versus pecking chicken?! I mean, calling it Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is somewhat fine, but is that really a pecking chicken on Lus side? Its clearly the Dugu Nine Swords! Damn it! Who the hell made this?! Lu Xiaobu saw it too. "Hahaha, interesting, very interesting." Lu Xiaobu burst into laughter, banging the table: "This person, is really talented!" Liang Lan was also covering her mouth, giggling at the side. Young Master is right, this person is truly gifted. "Sister Lan, find this person and tell them I want to hire them!" Lu Xiaobu had a brainwave, a fun idea popping into his head. "Young Master, are you planning to do comics? This person is talented, but their drawing skills are clearly not excellent!" Liang Lan asked doubtfully. Finding this person would be easy, theres no rush at that moment. After all, besides Young Master Bu, who else would want this person? Shes more eager to understand what exactly Young Master Bu is thinking! "No no no, not comics, comics arent fun. I want to create meme packs!" Lu Xiaobu stood up excitedly, "Meme packs? Like those little caricatures and expressions?" Liang Lan was taken aback. She knew about meme packs. She used them often in her chats, though meme packs were essentially just expressions like crying, laughing, helpless laughter, etc. sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Of course, aside from those with round faces, some were of animals or other kinds. But no matter the type, they were all quite similar! "Chill, go quickly, youll understand later." Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to explain further, urging Liang Lan to go. The meme packs in this world were too outdated. Back in the day on Earth, meme packs were truly devastating. Two people could have a meme battle that lasted two hours without any repetitions! It was time for this worlds chatting to be dominated by meme packs, hahaha! Just thinking about it brings joy, doesnt it?! ... While Lu Xiaobu was studying meme packs, the internet was buzzing about him. Not about anything else, but researching Lu Xiaobus position on the Third Level Rich List. They wanted to see if Lu Xiaobu could really reach the top this time. Is a skinny camel still bigger than a horse? Or will Lu Xiaobu speed ahead, surpassing Wen Family Hall who has been at the top for years? Everyone was eagerly awaiting the outcome. They kept refreshing the rich list webpage, eager to witness the result! Finally, they refreshed! ... Chapter 456 - 454: Hit and Run After Showing Off [2nd Update] Chapter 456: Chapter 454: Hit and Run After Showing Off [2nd Update]Theres a saying, how does it go? You dont have to be awesome yourself, you just need your opponent to faceplant. And Lu Xiaobu is now such a case of success. Moreover, he didnt just make his opponent faceplant, he also launched a massive charged special move at the end! You have to know that Lu Xiaobu himself was already ranked second. Now he didnt spend a single penny, even made a bit of money, but what about the Wen Family Hall? They lost over three billion. So, Lu Xiaobu, ascends to number one! The moment the Third Level Rich List was released, although everyone was prepared, they were still shocked. "Oh my god! Lu Xiaobu has finally become number one." "Remember? Someone once said that Lu Xiaobu, with his hundred thousand Iron Cavalry, would become number oneit was only a matter of time, and now this statement has been validated!" "To be honest, I originally thought that Lu Xiaobu would engage in a century battle with Wen Family Hall, but in the end... pecking like a chicken... never mind, better left unsaid!" "The title of Lu Xiaobu the spendthrift is well-established now, before he was squandering his own familys fortune, and now? Hes squandering others! Spending just six hundred thousand to wipe out three billion, are you scared or not? I salute you with my fear first!" "Number one, the third level rich list number one, ah! So damn awesome! Just too impressive!" "Convinced, totally convinced!" "..." Not only was the online community shocked, but the Lu family was also ecstatic. "Hahaha, my little bro is number one on the rich list." Lu Hongbin was jumping up and down with excitement. Lin Shu smiled and chided, "Its not you whos number one, what are you so excited about?" "Is there a difference between me being number one? Thats my little bro, the little bro who calls me big bro!" Lu Hongbin, like a child, tilted his chin up with pride and said. He himself was a businessman, putting a high priority on wealth. Although Lu Xiaobu had always been his pride, when Lu Xiaobu really became number one, he was still extremely excited. "Alright, alright." Lin Shu said, smiling. Xiaobu becoming number one, of course, made her, as his sister-in-law, happy as well. Its just that she wouldnt express it in the same way as Lu Hongbin. "No way, I have to go and show off a bit." Lu Hongbin, excitedly thought aloud. Theres no fun in silence about wealth. Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, in this world, especially the rankings on the Rich List are public, theres no such thing as hidden wealth. So, hiding and hoarding, theres no point. Immediately, he started making phone calls. "Hey, Elder Wang, long time no see, where have you been making money recently? What? My Xiaobu has become number one on the rich list? Impossible? I know that brat too well, must be fake! What? Its true? Oh, if its true, then its true!" "Elder Li, you must be raking it in recently! Really made a fortune, huh! Transferred a billion? Congratulations! You must be somebody on the Third Level Rich List now, arent you! So awesome you are! What? The number one on the Third Level Rich List is our Xiaobu!? Oh? I had no idea!" While Lu Hongbin was making calls, Lin Shu was beside him, covering her mouth and chucklingthis Hong Bin, clearly overjoyed to the point of showing his molars, yet still talking nonsense with a straight face. ... Lu Wenhuo, on the other hand, wasnt concerned about these matters. But he was putting on an act of arrogance. It has been a long time since he visited this literary forum! "Whats up? What are you discussing?" "Lu bro is here! We were discussing Youthful Heavenly Dynasty! Ever since the last analysis, weve been even more obsessed!" "Really? Its just okay, I guess." "Just okay? Lu bro, youve been out of the literary circle for quite some time, huh! You have no idea how sensational that article is! Now, many people want to get their hands on a copy of Youthful Heavenly Dynasty handwritten by Lu Xiaobu itself. But to this day, not a single copy has surfaced, there are rumors that someone has offered as much as three million for it!" "Really? Is it that precious? Cant be. Its not that rare." "Rare, how can it not be rare? Its extremely rare!" "But, Ive got a copy. I nearly burned it just now. Its so poorly written!" Lu Wenhuo feigned arrogance. Then leisurely, he took a photo of the Youthful Heavenly Dynasty previously written by Lu Xiaobu for him and sent it over. Suddenly, that scared the bejesus out of everyone else! "Holy moly, is that for real? Bro Lu, youre not joking, right?" "If you actually have it, youre gonna be loaded!" "Enough talk, I believe in Bro Lus integrity. Flat rate of 3.5 million, you sell it to me, how about that? Just say the word, and Ill transfer the money right away!" "3.5 million is chicken feed? Ill offer 4 million! Cold, hard cash, just agree and Ill transfer the money immediately!" "..." Looking at these peoples reactions. Lu Wenhao was clutching his phone, giggling uncontrollably. These clowns still had no idea he was Lu Xiaobus older brother. Hahaha, what a rush! Xiaobu, oh Xiaobu, youve really done your big bro proud! Right, while Im here putting on airs. A pinned message popped up. Lu Xiaobu releases another masterpiece, "On Horses" that awakens the deaf and stuns the listener! Seeing this post, people flocked instantly, pouring over it with great interest! "Damn! Impressive! Just a few words, yet they resonate so powerfully!" "Every words a gem! Amazing, truly remarkable!" "No wonder its Lu Xiaobu, the literary giant who wrote Youthful Heavenly Dynasty!" "Too amazing! If this work and Youthful Heavenly Dynasty are both out there willing to pay, Id bid 10 million for them!" "..." While they were all in shock. Lu Wenhao narrowed his eyesso you, Lu Xiaobu, have a new piece and you didnt think to offer it to your big brother, instead putting it out there first. No way, Ive got to have the manuscript of this piece! ... Both brothers of the Lu Family were busy showing off. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu had another encounter at the Wen Family Hall. It was the same establishment as last time, the same spot, the same two people. The Wen Family Hall still stood up to pour a cup of tea for Lu Xiaobu. But the expressions on their faces were no longer the same. Lu Xiaobu remained as laid-back and nonchalant as ever. However, there was no longer the sharpness in the eyes of the Wen Family Hall; instead, there was a touch of melancholy. "You win." The Wen Family Hall, somewhat desolate, lifted his cup of tea and downed it in one go. Unwittingly, a few more strands of white appeared at his temples! "Not bad." Lu Xiaobu also raised his teacup and finished it in one gulp. Since this was a battle that had declared war, no matter the outcome, respecting ones opponent was the right thing to do. Although he never really cared anyway. "Can you tell me how you did it?" The Wen Family Hall couldnt help but ask: "I had prepared so meticulously, yet why did you choose to watch my platforms livestream? And even if you watched, why did it all go wrong just as you started gifting?" "Why?" Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment: "Maybe its precisely because you prepared too perfectly." "Prepared too perfectly?" The Wen Family Hall frowned and fell deep into thought. That statement held interestthe more he pondered, the more there seemed to be to it. As Lu Xiaobu watched the changing expressions on the face of the Wen Family Hall, he quietly set down his teacup, turned, and walked away. Damn, hit-and-run after showing off, thats bloody thrilling! You ask me why? How the hell would I know? Chapter 457 - 455: Conjunctivitis [Third Update] Chapter 457: Chapter 455: Conjunctivitis [Third Update]Tang Geng, a college student. Not from any prestigious university, just an ordinary one. Living a life not much different from other college students, without a girlfriend or any other forms of fun. Just that he has a big imagination, always coming up with bizarre, fun ideas he finds amusing. But these brainwaves not only fail to gain everyones approval but often attract ridicule instead. Not for anything else, because the things he comes up with, others fail to see the humor in. This resulted in the ideas that made him laugh hilariously turning into awkward smiles and synonyms for boredom when shared with others. Yet yesterday, was his most successful brainwave ever. It was that drawing of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms battling against chickens pecking at rice. "Man, Tang Geng, you rock! That drawing from yesterday cracked me up!" One of Tang Gengs roommates patted his shoulder as he spoke. Since his name is Tang Geng, logically, he ended up with the nickname Tang Geng! Many other from different dorms also gathered around. "Yeah! Really fun!" "How did you come up with it?!" "I never saw you coming up with such fun stuff before!" "Yeah! Come up with a couple more!" "..." "Hehe." Seeing his comic being appreciated by others, Tang Geng still felt pretty delighted inside. After all, his stuff had always been called trash before! But at the next moment, someone poured cold water on him. It was another roommate, "Its fun, but have you thought of the consequences? Who did you mock? One used to be the number one on the rich list, another is the number one right now, have you considered the consequences if they pursue this matter?" At these words, the room went instantly quiet. The roommate who had been patting Tang Gengs shoulder slowly lifted his hand, his face showing an awkward smile, "Uh...cough, I got something else to do, I gotta go first." The others also showed embarrassed looks, involuntarily stepping back. "I got stuff to do too!" "Anyone up for basketball?" "Yeah! Yes! Lets go together!" "..." Gradually, everyone left the dorm. Filling the dorm were only the guy who had made the cold comment, sitting at the table readingChen Zhou, and of course, Tang Geng with an embarrassed, perplexed face. He felt a bit angry, somewhat scared, but more than anything, aggrieved. He didnt know how he had provoked this Chen Zhou, he merely wanted everyones approval, whats wrong with that? Chen Zhou put down his book and looked at Tang Geng with a disdainful glance, "What? You think you can soar to the skies just with that crap of yours?" "I must have really bad luck, failing the college entrance exam was bad enough, and now I end up with roommates who just fool around without working at anything!" "All you do every day is slack off, not study, always tinkering with that trash!" His words were full of disdain. He was arrogant by nature; he had declared before the college exam that he would surely get into the metropolitan university. He even filled all his college choices with that university! But as you know, he didnt get in. He got into this university only after trying everything possible. But none of this had honed his temperament, instead, it filled him with even more resentment. He believed he shouldnt be here, he should be at the metropolitan university. He felt like he was the crane among chickens, the gold amid sand. He deserved the most attention, the most adulation, the most girls chasing after him! But, what about now!? That Tang Geng, who has always been the butt of jokes, actually got more attention than him with that piece of garbage? How could his proud self bear this?! Its quite common in society, some people always think they are extraordinary and cant stand seeing others succeed. What he cant get, he would rather destroy. Its called jealousy! Absolutely disgusting! "I didnt, I just wanted to make everyone happy!" Tang Geng defended. "You didnt? Still saying you didnt? Happy? Teasing others to make yourself happy! Who do you think those two are that you can tease them?" Chen Zhou stood from a high and mighty perspective, rebuking with a face that mimicked moral integrity. "I! I!" Tang Geng found himself at a loss for words. He felt he was not in the wrong, but didnt know how to argue back! At this moment. "Tang Geng, Tang Geng, someone is looking for you, a beautiful girl!" The roommate who just rushed out came back in a puff, his eyes filled with excitement! "A beautiful girl?" Hearing the roommates words, Tang Geng hadnt spoken yet, but Chen Zhou spoke first: "What beautiful girl? Youve been pent up too long, even a sow looks like a beauty to you! With Tang Gengs looks, a big sow, more likely!" Can you hear how ugly and harsh these words sound?! Tang Gengs face was filled with anger and grievance! Even that roommate was infuriated by the retort. What kind of person is this! Who provokes you! Usually acting all high and mighty, just ignore him if no one deals with him. Whats up today? Acting like someone who will bite anyone if provoked? But Chen Zhou kept babbling: "Its not me criticizing you guys, spend more time reading books, thats better than anything! Look at me, how serious and hardworking I am?!" "Dont always dream of achieving instant success, thats not a dream you can have!" "Im so talented and still trying hard, what about you?! Just slacking and waiting for death!" "..." While he was still talking, he didnt see that the expressions of Tang Geng and his roommate had changed. From the initial anger, gradually turning to surprise and disbelief! Even at the end, a mesmerized look appeared in both their eyes! Because they saw a personLiang Lan, breathtakingly beautiful and brimming with an unbeatable sis vibe! S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liang Lan walked in briskly, first glanced at Tang Geng, confirming he was indeed the person she was looking for. Then she walked up to the still babbling Chen Zhou from behind: "Turn around for a moment!" Chen Zhou heard that cold voice from behind, startled, but his mouth did not stop: "Who is it! Didnt you see I..." As he spoke, he turned his head. "Slap!" Liang Lan slapped Chen Zhous face with the back of her hand, turning Chen Zhous just turned head, along with the words in his mouth, all back. She indeed heard how this Chen Zhou had referred to her. Although as a student, she didnt delve deepcorrecting was still necessary. Otherwise, wouldnt that embarrass Young Master Bu! Liang Lan took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands. Then walked up to Tang Geng, looking at him: "Are you Tang Geng?" "Yes...yes...yes." Tang Geng, seeing the gorgeously ethereal but queenly Liang Lan in front of him, stammered. "Well then, I am here under the orders of Young Master Bu, to invite you to join the Lu Group, would you be interested?" Liang Lan said. On hearing this, the entire hall was shocked! Chapter 458 - 456: The Era of Emoticons [4th Update] Chapter 458: Chapter 456: The Era of Emoticons [4th Update]Hearing Liang Lans words, Tang Geng was completely dumbfounded: "Lu Group? The Lu Group! Is it that Lu Group of Lu Xiaobu?" He couldnt believe his own ears. The Lu Group actually wants to hire him... oh, no, they want him as an employee! Is this real?! He isnt dreaming, right? "Yes, but if you agree, starting from today, you need to change how you address us." sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liang Lan nodded, changing Tang Gengs way of addressing her. She didnt like it when people directly called Young Master Bu by his name. "Ah?! Ah!" Tang Geng was still in a state of confusion, not comprehending what was happening. He might not have understood, but someone else did. That would be Chen Zhou, the one who just got slapped by Liang Lan. Chen Zhou, with his cheek in hand, looked at Liang Lan in disbelief: "You... you... you are Liang Lan!?" He always thought highly of himself, hence the enterprise he most wished to join was the Lu Group. He felt only the unique Lu Group was worthy of him. Thus, he naturally did extensive research on the Lu Group. Not only had he memorized the details about Lu Xiaobu, he knew everyone around Xiaobu as well! Of course, he recognized Liang Lan. When Liang Lan heard Chen Zhous words, let alone responding to him, she didnt even turn her head. "Tang Geng, give me your answer." She was waiting for Tang Gengs response. Although she still wasnt clear on what Young Master wanted to do, executing the order was enough. Finally coming to his senses, Tang Gengs eyes lit up with ecstasy as he quickly nodded: "Willing, definitely willing, I am definitely willing!" Its the Lu Group, anyone who says theyre not willing must be out of their mind! Even though he didnt know what it was about him that the Lu Group saw, agreeing first was certainly not wrong! "Thats settled then, pack up your things, lets go." Liang Lan nodded and said. Mission accomplished. "Yes, yes, yes!" Tang Geng readily agreed. His roommates were dying of envy. It was actually the Lu Group, and it was Liang Lan herself who came to extend the invitation; what does that represent? It definitely signifies that it was Young Master Bus command! Could it be that Tang Geng truly ascended to heaven in a single step? Did he become one of Lu Xiaobus people at the Lu Group? This must be what it means to have ancestors bless you with good fortune! On one side was envy, but another person was feeling jealousy! Chen Zhous entire being was burning with jealousy. His pride didnt allow a piece of trash, a good-for-nothing, to enter the company he longed for! His eyes were bloodshot! Yes, truly a case of red-eye disease! His jealousy had completely consumed his rationality! "Stop right there!" Chen Zhou burst out, pointing at Tang Geng and roared at Liang Lan: "Why? Why this piece of trash?! Whats so good about this piece of trash?! Why can he join Lu..." He cut off mid-sentence and couldnt continue. Thats because Liang Lan elegantly took out a stun gun from her bag, turned it on, and gave it a quick jab on Chen Zhous body. "Thump!" Chen Zhou immediately rolled his eyes back and collapsed to the ground convulsing. Liang Lan turned off the stun gun and elegantly put it back into her bag: "Pertinacious." Bear this our ass! When its time to deal with someone, well deal with them; thats what Young Master Bu taught her! Damn, she swore again! Then, she looked back at Tang Geng: "Lets go." "Yes, yes, yes!" Tang Geng saw Chen Zhou collapsed on the side, shivering uncontrollably. Such a beautiful woman, yet she was so ruthless with her actions. Without hesitation, she wouldnt even let Chen Zhou finish talking. Truly worthy of being one of Lu Xiaobus people, really so decisive, so impressive! Probably no one but Lu Xiaobu himself could subdue her! Tang Geng left, only leaving the roommate behind, looking at the departing Tang Geng and then at Chen Zhou lying on the ground, feeling a mix of emotions. So, he went over to Chen Zhou... And kicked him twice! Then, he ran! Yes, revenge taken! It feels good! ... Liang Lan brought Tang Geng back to Lu Xiaobu. "Young Master, Ive brought him back." Liang Lan said with a smiling face. "Thank you for your hard work." Lu Xiaobu said cheerfully. Tang Geng watched Liang Lans smiling face blossom, then thought back to her brandishing a stun baton at the drop of a hat, and he couldnt help but shudder all over! Is this even the same person?! The difference is so huge?! Alright then, Young Master Bu, youre still the most awesome! "Whats your name?" Lu Xiaobu directed his gaze at Tang Geng and asked. "My name is Tang Geng..." Tang Geng began, but suddenly froze. Because he didnt know how to address Lu Xiaobu. He remembered, vaguely recalling there was a term "Young Master." So. Tang Geng replied, "My name is Tang Geng, Young Master!" "Cough cough cough!" Zhang Meng and Li Jin both coughed at the same time. Whats this kid trying to do? Steal our jobs?! Their cough frightened Tang Geng into shivering. He probably knew hed called the wrong title. So. "Young Master?" "Cough cough!" Liang Lan coughed. What, youve just arrived and youre trying to sit on an equal footing with me? "Uh..." Tang Geng shuddered again, the image of Liang Lan with her stun gun flashing before his eyes, so he quickly changed how he addressed him: "Boss." "En?" Su Luoxue became unwilling. Whats the meaning of this, you cant bully them so you come to bully me, is that it?! Although she didnt want to compete for this, now that everyone was doing it, it wouldnt seem right if she didnt. "Me!" Tang Geng was going crazy! What the? What do you all want to do?!?! Dont bully people like that, its just a form of address! Why does it feel like you think Im trying to snatch your jobs? Let me tell you, if it wasnt because I cant beat you, I would... I would... Never mind! Even if I could, I shouldnt fight! Tang Gengs frustrated expression was fully captured by Lu Xiaobu, who couldnt help bursting into laughter: "Just call me President Lu!" "Yes, President Lu!" Tang Geng let out a sigh of relief, finally settling on a title to use. What he didnt know was that Liang Lan, Zhang Meng and others, upon hearing this title, also exchanged a look and breathed a sigh of relief! Fortunately, it seems the Young Master isnt recruiting lackeys, but an employee instead! They couldnt help but worry, after all, this was a person personally requested by the Young Master. And how many people has the Young Master personally requested? They could probably count on a few fingers! So, you see, a title actually determines the other persons status. Zhang Meng and Li Jin are "Young Master." Liang Lan is "Young Master." Su Luoxue is "Boss." These all have different meanings. Of course, to clarify, this isnt because theyre being petty and excluding outsiders; if the Young Master really needed this person, they would absolutely welcome him with open arms. Right now, it was just a slight moment of emotion. Um... how to put it? Lets just say, its like pets vying for attention, you get it, right? "That, President Lu, did you ask me to come over for..." Tang Geng couldnt help but ask. He really couldnt figure out what he had done to attract the attention of Lu Xiaobu, who seemed to have everything he wanted and did whatever he pleased. "Did you create this drawing?" Lu Xiaobu took out the previous drawing of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms battling a chicken pecking at grains and looked at Tang Geng. "Yes." Tang Geng swallowed. Inside, he felt doubtful and anxious, hopefully, it wasnt anything serious! "Did you come up with this yourself? Do you have more works like this?" Lu Xiaobu asked excitedly. "Yes!" Tang Geng nodded. "Great, bring them here for me to see!" Lu Xiaobu was extremely excited. And after he had seen them, the smile at the corner of his mouth was almost too big to contain! Hahaha, the era of emoticons has arrived! Chapter 459 - 457: Turning the Tables [5th Update for the Sparkling Reward Bonus] Chapter 459: Chapter 457: Turning the Tables [5th Update for the Sparkling Reward Bonus]Lu Xiaobus smile grew wider as he looked at Tang Gengs previous works. Definitely, this is the kind of talent he was looking for. "You will be in charge of creating emoticons from now on, and as for the salary..." Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment and then said to Liang Lan, "Sister Lan, you arrange it." "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded. "This task?" Tang Geng was utterly baffled: "But, Mr. Lu, no one understands these things I make, and they dont like them either." "Thats just because they dont understand," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. "Their thinking has been set in stone. Dont pay them any mind. You just do your thing, Ill take care of using them!" "Alright then." Tang Geng was still confused. He had grown accustomed to being criticized, so now, suddenly hearing someone praising his work as good was truly overwhelming. "Off you go." Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to explain: "Oh, and dont force yourself. Emoticons without soul are worthless. You should be aware of our working style here; its flexible. Theres no demand on volume, but the quality must be good." "Yes!" Tang Geng immediately responded. Although puzzled, he could only agree. With Tang Gengs matter temporarily settled, Lu Xiaobu did not immediately start using the emoticons. After all, emoticons are a novel concept in this world and have not yet developed a culture of image-based chat battles like on Earth. Its sudden emergence would likely not be embraced by everyone. Many people surely dont understand - whats there not to accept about image battles? Thats because you are accustomed to image battles, to the culture around them, and even to being born into a world where this culture already exists. In fact, most of the cheeky and cutesy images we now use came about after post-90s and post-00s users entered the internet and became the mainstream, gradually shaping the culture. There were emoticons before, but most of them were pretty standard. For example: Hello.jpg. A beautiful wish for you.jpg. Cheers to our friendship.jpg. But if you introduce our current mainstream image battle culture to a different eralike the present day on the planet Water Qiit would be seen as an oddity, much like how the non-mainstream culture of the post-90s was criticized. Its not just misunderstood, it can even spark disgust. This is precisely the reasoning behind the lack of understanding for Tang Gengs ahead-of-his-time emoticons. Therefore, to truly make image battle culture mainstream, an opportunity is needed. However, its apparent that some people wont wait for Lu Xiaobus opportunity. "Young Master, its a call from Lin Feng." Liang Lan handed over the phone. "Whats up?" Lu Xiaobu was clearly irritated: "Why are you all over me like some clingy woman? Im not into guys, OK? If youre into men, I could introduce someone to you." You all know who Id introduce, right? Cough, cough, cough! "Go to hell! I dont like men either!" Lin Feng was livid. Damn it, getting roasted by this kid the second the call connects. Really! "Spill it. If youre thinking about involving me with the Lin Familys affairs, dont even think about it, OK?" Lu Xiaobu cut off Lin Fengs path right away. He knew this guys mind was fixated on that. "Its not about that. Youre now at the top of the wealth rankings, and youve got a yacht. Arent you going to invite us to have some fun?" Lin Feng said earnestly. "Have fun?" Lu Xiaobu frowned, he always had the feeling Lin Feng was up to something. Have fun, and hes inviting him to have fun? Were those words Lin Feng could actually say? What a joke! "Not interested!" Lu Xiaobu flatly refused. "Theres a bomb on your yacht that your people cant find." Lin Feng said languidly. He had been wary of Lu Xiaobu all along. "Doesnt matter, Im not on the ship anyways." A pang of alarm struck Lu Xiaobus heart, but his face remained nonchalant as he spoke. "Yes, youre not on the ship, but if I remember correctly, the yacht I gave to you is still docked in the harbor, right?" Lin Feng continued leisurely, "There seems to be quite a few people there! If something were to happen here... huh huh!" "Do you think I would care?" Lu Xiaobu snorted with laughter. "Do I look like a saint to you?" "No, of course not, but if there really was an explosion, the Lu Family wouldnt be able to escape responsibility, unless you could shake the Lin Family." Lin Feng put the cigar that the butler had handed him, at its perfect moment for smoking, into his mouth, took a puff, and savored the smoke curling in his mouth, speaking blissfully. "Do you want us to go down together? When the time comes, youll be nothing but a pawn. Do you think the Lin Family will protect you?" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed. An invisible spark of electric tension started to clash at both ends of the phone. "No, of course not. Do you think I lack the courage to go down together?" Lin Feng laughed, put down the cigar, and slumped into the couch. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "To be honest, I really do want to kill you!" Lu Xiaobus eyes revealed a murderous intent. Every time he was threatened by this bastard, one day, hed like to slap this guy in the face with his slipper. "I know, its not the first or second time. Go ahead, kill me if you can, it would still be a case of both the fish and the net get destroyed. I dont care." Lin Feng carelessly picked up a glass of red wine, swirled it, took a sip, and relished the supreme experience of a top-notch wine blended with a top-notch cigar, indulging in the exceptional comfort. "Damn it!" Lu Xiaobu cursed angrily: "Time, place, how many people?" "Tomorrow, meet at the harbor. As for the number of people, dont worry about it, just make sure the yacht is fully stocked with food and drink, it will definitely be enough." Lin Feng still maintained his eternally secretive demeanor. He had suffered too many losses at the hands of Lu Xiaobu; he had to be extremely careful, keeping as many cards in hand as possible, never revealing them carelessly. Otherwise, even the slightest mistake could be exploited by Lu Xiaobu as leverage. "Oh, I just remembered something." Lu Xiaobus lips suddenly curled into a smile. Lin Feng, sorry, but it seems today I still need to turn the tables. "What is it?" Lin Feng said indifferently. He was still basking in the pleasure of having Lu Xiaobu firmly under his thumb. That made him involuntarily take another puff of his cigar. "You havent forgotten, you still owe me a favor, have you? What if I ask you to disarm the bomb? Will you agree?!" Lu Xiaobus lips twisted into a cold smirk. Lin Feng, you think you can compete with me?! "Cough, cough, cough!" Upon hearing this, Lin Feng, who had just inhaled from his cigar, immediately choked and coughed violently. Tears nearly came out with the coughing. He hadnt expected Lu Xiaobu to pull this move?! Shit! Damn it, if thats the case, his entire plan would be ruined! He had never thought Lu Xiaobu would resort to this tactic. Of course, he remembered that incident: it was when Lu Xiaobu had him crouch down to smoke a cigar and then used a photo to threaten him! He could choose to deny the debt or give up the plan. Which one would he choose!? Give up the plan! Lin Feng had his pride; he wouldnt play such dishonorable tricks. "Fine! Yes!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said: "Plan canceled!" Damn! Damn! Damn! Lin Fengs mind was raging with fury! Chapter 460 - 458 All Set for a Big Fight [First Update] Chapter 460: Chapter 458 All Set for a Big Fight [First Update]Lin Feng now feels as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit. Although he has never eaten it, he thinks nothing could taste worse than that! "No problem, Im hanging up!" Lin Feng said through gritted teeth. He needed to find somewhere to vent! Damn it, trying to steal chickens only to end up losing rice! "Wait a second!" Lu Xiaobu stopped Lin Feng from hanging up the phone. "What now?! Were square, is there anything else?" Lin Feng was still full of anger. "No, Ive thought about it and decided not to use that condition. You come over." Lu Xiaobu said leisurely, swinging his legs comfortably. Using that condition for such a trivial matter isnt worth it. Some things are more threatening when not used than when actually deployed. Look at this, he hasnt used that condition, but Lin Feng is half dead with frustration! So satisfying! And he can use it again next time. "You! Fine! The plan stays the same!" Lin Fengs rage flared up instantly. Of course, he knew exactly what trick Lu Xiaobu was playing, but he had no choice but to accept. After all, if the plan failed, his loss would be enormous! The phone call ended. Lu Xiaobus mouth curled into a smile, hehe chuckling, "This guy must be infuriated beyond words!" Liang Lan covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, then said, "Young Master, then Ill get started with preparing the food and entertainment." "Good." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Liang Lan picked up the phone and started arranging: "Find five Michelin chefs, plus five top Chinese cuisine chefs..." "Wait a second!" Lu Xiaobu interrupted her. "Young Master?" Liang Lan looked confused. "Swap them with five skewer masters, plus three spicy skewer masters, and one master of pancake rolls; finally, add one master of Sichuan cuisine!" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, saying with a sly smile. "Uh..." Liang Lans mouth twitched, Young Master was up to mischief again: "Young Master, we dont have that many masters." Skewer master, spicy skewer master, pancake roll master, what kinds of masters are these! "Then just randomly pick a few from the street." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively! "Alright then." Liang Lan agreed reluctantly. The guests invited by Lin Feng would certainly be no ordinary people. And now, the food had all been changed to skewers, spicy skewers, pancake rolls, and the only proper dishYoung Master had specifically asked for Sichuan cuisine! Those guests would probably go crazy! "Prepare more Cuban cigars and Lafite Wine." Liang Lan continued to arrange. "Wait a second, what do we need Lafite for? Just beer and Baijiu! And for smoking, prepare a box of cigars for Lin Feng and replace the rest with dry tobacco pipes. What to smoke? Dry smoking?" Lu Xiaobus smile grew even more wicked. Anyway, he didnt smoke, let them puff on dry tobacco pipes. Also, do you think preparing cigars for Lin Feng is for his benefit? Humph, when the time comes, only Lin Feng will have cigars, and others wontyou can imagine the scene, right? Interesting. Liang Lan obviously understood Lu Xiaobus intention, and gave a wry smile. Beer? Baijiu? Dry smoking pipes? Only Lin Feng gets cigars? The Young Master is truly out to get Lin Feng at every turn. She decided to give up on arranging it and better to ask the Young Masters opinion first. "Young Master, regarding swimwear..." "Go to the wholesale market and get a batch of big trunks for the men, for the women, all transparent swimwear. Oh, and make sure you few bring your own too." Lu Xiaobu chuckled, he wasnt sure if those people would bring their own swimwear, but its always best to be prepared! "Okay!" Liang Lans mouth twitched. Wholesale huge underpants? Transparent swimwear? Right, time to go crazy again! "What about the service staff?" "Just a few will do, dont overdo it with one for each person and then having to attend to them. Let them fend for themselves and feed themselves." Suddenly, an idea struck Lu Xiaobu, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Sister Lan, go take a look and find an uninhabited island or something. Well stay there for a few days before coming back." "Uh..." sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Now Liang Lan felt on the verge of collapse. Going to an uninhabited island? Young Master, what are you planning? Do you really want to turn all those young masters and misses into savages? However, she couldnt change Xiaobus mind. The only thing she could do was to ensure the Young Masters quality of life as much as possible. Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and looked into the distance, god knows what he was thinking. But the smile at the corner of his mouth was getting more and more malicious. ... While Lu Xiaobu was preparing, Lin Feng, after venting, started to prepare, too, panting heavily. Today really pissed him off. But whatever, its not the first or second time Lu Xiaobu has pissed him off. Hes damn near getting used to it! He began making arrangements. The people he called for the gathering werent outsiders, really. They were all young people from the Lin Family. As one of the Four Young Masters of Imperial, and the leading sheep among the Lin Familys youth, who wouldnt come when he called? Some may ask, why he insisted on Lu Xiaobu being the one to invite them? Simple, to intensify the conflict between the two sides. You, Lu Xiaobu, have always been unwilling to deal with the Lin Family, right? Now the Lin Family is bullying you directly; with your temperament, could you endure it?! If you can, Ill acknowledge you as the big boss! Of course, theres also the matter of suppressing those who have been too uppity recently. Thinking since Lin Feng went against the familys decisions, reducing his influence, that they cant be handled by him? Starting to jump in front of him?! Heh! While thinking, he started making phone calls. "Is everything ready?" "Bro, its all set. Where are we heading to have fun?" "Why ask so many questions? Just know were going out to sea." "Oh, alright then, since its you organizing, bro, Ill just show up light." "Whatever." Lin Feng made several similar calls, making sure everyone in the family got the message. Then, he looked at the butler and said, "Go, prepare the food and drinks, cigars, wine, swimwear, bodyguards, servants, get everything ready, and youll come with me too." "Huh?" The butler was stunned: "Young Master Lin, do we need to prepare all that? Wont Young Master Lu have everything ready?" "Heh!" Young Master Lin took a puff from his cigar, squinting his eyes in the swirling smoke: "Wait for him to prepare? Dream on! If he doesnt pull something, he wouldnt be Lu Xiaobu!" "But! You told the other Young Masters from the Lin Family not to prepare anything..." The butlers mouth twitched. Knowing fully well that Lu Xiaobu would play tricks, yet not providing a single warning. "If they get duped by Lu Xiaobu, whats that got to do with me?" Lin Feng rolled his eyes, cutting off the butlers words: "Just prepare. Remember to be discreet. Do we still have people on that cruise ship, right? Have them smuggle things in secret, dont attract attention!" "Yes, Young Master Lin!" The butler felt helpless. Young Master Lin was learning more and more terrible tricks from Lu Xiaobu. Especially after disappearing a few days ago, he seriously suspected that Young Master Lin had gone to see Lu Xiaobu. Because the state Young Master Lin returned in was very unusual. He even dared to openly defy the master. This would have been unimaginable before. Alas, its hard to say what Young Master Lin would become if he continued to hang out with Lu Xiaobu! After the butler left, Lin Feng looked up at the ceiling, his eyes growing fiercer by the moment! In this moment, although Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobus actions, gazes, and expressions had nothing in common. There was, inexplicably, a feeling that was very much alike. An indescribable feeling! Chapter 461 - 459: Stand Side by Side? [2nd Update] Chapter 461: Chapter 459: Stand Side by Side? [2nd Update]Time moved on to the second day. Lu Xiaobu arrived at the cruise ship yawning. It was his first time on a cruise ship, after all. A little excited, if hes honest. But after making a round, he realized there wasnt much to it. Just this pint-sized place. There was a swimming pool, a helipad, some lavishly decorated rooms, plus a luxurious lobby, both open-air and indoor restaurants, a recreation room equipped with everything from gambling tools to arcade games, a professional massage room, a fully-equipped gym, a lush garden, a vast changing room, a complete set of fancy diving equipment, and so on and so forth. What was so special about this? Really! Just some street writers whove never seen anything like it, thats all. The temperature wasnt low today, so Lu Xiaobu just put on his big trunks and jumped into the cruise ships swimming pool. Liang Lan, wearing a deep V-neck one-piece swimsuit that showed off her bombshell figure, with curves in all the right places, that flash of snowy white skin almost gave Lu Xiaobu a nosebleed. She brought the fruit specially prepared for Lu Xiaobu and placed it beside him. You all know what a swimming pool looks like, right? Since Lu Xiaobu was in the pool, he was obviously lower down than Liang Lan standing on the side, so he couldnt help but like looking up. Hmm, this angle is just perfect! *cough cough cough!* Munching on fruit, the feisty Zhou Jingyuan also came running out. Spicy girl was a bit more explosive, wearing a direct bikini. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But it looks like spicy girls swimsuit was bought a size too small, it barely contained her, jiggling with each step. Lu Xiaobus eyes turned green as he continually nodded along with her movements. "Yay!" Spicy girl came right up to the pool, and straight into a dive! "Splash!" She plunged into the pool, causing a large splatter of water. "Ptui!" Lu Xiaobu quickly spat it out: "Spicy girl, you got into my mouth." "Whats there to be afraid of! Geez, Ill make it up to you!" Spicy girl stuck out her tongue acting sneaky, then ducked and dived underwater. "Ssss!" Lu Xiaobu immediately felt a tightness all over! Its over, carelessly let someone grab my Achilles heel! Im done for! "Hehe, Im outta here!" Spicy girl mischievously made a quick touch and then started to playfully fight with Liang Lan: "Sister Lan, youve grown again!" As she spoke, she unleashed a Dragon Claw move! "Look whos talking. I think all your nutrition has gone to one area," Liang Lan retorted without fear, countering with a move of her own. Lu Xiaobu watched delightfully. And at this moment, Su Luoxue also stepped out. This ice queens face was flushed. Dont think that shes been hardened by the business world for a long time, but in this kind of situation, she was still a bit timid. So, she wore a dress-style swimsuit. It was more of a dress than a swimsuit, really. Pretty as it was, it lacked viewer enjoyment. "Alas!" Lu Xiaobu sighed, dunked his head under, and swam underwater. Then... Popped up at the other end. "Hehe!" Lu Xiaobu instantly chuckled devilishly, cough cough, under the skirt, cough cough! "Ah!" Su Luoxue let out a scream and pressed down her dress. The playful Zhou Jingyuan and Liang Lan who were messing about rolled their eyes speechlessly. Finally, Wu Qianmin made her appearance. This little jealous jar, the shyest one, was directly in a one-piece swimsuit. Thats it, theres nothing to be done. So. "Wheres the knife? Give me the knife. I need to make a cut." Lu Xiaobu gestured to Wu Qianmin. "Stop it!" All four ladies rebuked softly. ... They were all frolicking here. Lin Fengs men arrived. "Young Master, Lin Feng has arrived," Zhang Meng reported. "Good." Lu Xiaobu stood up, and naturally, Liang Lan draped a bath towel over his shoulders. At the same time, the four women also wrapped themselves in bath towels, concealing their salivating figures, large and small. Lu Xiaobu rose from the swimming pool, walked to the edge of the boat, and gazed into the distance. He saw a row of incredibly luxurious cars parked beside the cruise ship. The most expensive amongst them was a Rolls-Royce Phantom. There was no doubt that this was Lin Fengs ride. Unsurprisingly, Lin Feng stepped down from the Phantom and stood by the port. At the same time, six people alighted from the Bentley escort cars flanking the Phantom. A familiar old butler, two men who appeared to be bodyguards. And three great beauties, two Asian beauties, and one tall Western woman. Seeing this, it seemed like they were preparing to confront Lu Xiaobu from all angles with no dead zones. Lu Xiaobu had Liang Lan. Lin Feng had the butler. Lu Xiaobu had Zhang Meng and Li Jin. Lin Feng had also brought along two bodyguards. As for Wu Qianmin, the little chili, and Su Luoxue. Naturally, they were the three beauties. None of these was strange; after all, Lin Fengs character was just like that. When the gaze of Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu met mid-air, an abundance of invisible sparks flickered. Then both smiled at each other, as if they were old friends meeting up. All these were normal, very normal. However, there was something abnormal too. There was a Maybach 6.0T 62 Zeppelin in the midst of the fleet. It was, undoubtedly, an extravagant car. After all, all these were luxury cars; nothing unusual. But what was strange was that this car was too luxurious, so much so that it could almost rival Lin Fengs Rolls-Royce Phantom. Who is Lin Feng? The Young Master of the Lin Family, one of the Four Young Masters of Imperial City! Here were all Lin Familys people; it should be expected for his car to be the best. However, now there was a luxury car that rivaled his own ride. What did this imply? It went without saying. The Maybach came to a halt, and from the car emerged a person. This person bore a striking resemblance of five or six points to Lin Feng; undeniably a Lin. His name was Lin Hao, and from his ride, one could tell that he was the one Lin Feng considered the most troublesome. Two bodyguards also stepped out of the escort car alongside his. However, these two bodyguards were quite interesting; just by their attire, it was apparent they werent locals, their bodies were calloused and muscled, eyes fiercely glaring. They felt less like bodyguards and more like assassins! Upon seeing Lin Feng standing by the port and following Lin Fengs gaze to Lu Xiaobu on the ship, The information of Lu Xiaobu flashed through Lin Haos mind. Subsequently, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He took two steps forward, coming beside Lin Feng, and asked, feigning ignorance, "Brother, isnt this your cruise? There are subordinates playing around on it. Dont they understand the rules?" While he said that, he positioned his body so that he stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Feng. And the implication of his words was interesting, too. Was he, Lin Hao, unaware of the relationship between Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu? That was utterly nonsensical! Yet, in his words, Lu Xiaobu was reduced to a mere subordinate! Whose face was this slapping? It was a slap to both Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng. Lin Feng did not speak, but simply turned his head, his sharp gaze piercing like knives straight into Lin Haos eyes! "Clang!" Lin Haos heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily took a half step back. Lin Feng, being the most arrogant and powerful of the younger generation, had an influence over them that had developed since childhood. It was not something that could be erased in a moment. And at this time, His standing position had fallen half a shoulder behind Lin Feng, no longer shoulder to shoulder. The corner of Lin Fengs mouth curled into a cold smile. The only person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, even squat down and smoke together, was Lu Xiaobu! Chapter 462 - 460 Hanging at the Bow [3rd update, bonus - for recommendation votes] Chapter 462: Chapter 460 Hanging at the Bow [3rd update, bonus Chapter for recommendation votes]When Lin Hao came to his senses, a flash of shame and anger crossed his face! Damn it! What the hell are you acting all high and mighty for!? Just you wait! If you dare to take me out to sea with such disrespect, be prepared for me to take your place! But at this moment, he could only suppress his emotions and dared not speak out of turn. At this time, the people in the convoy all got out one after another. These people were far inferior to Lin Feng and Lin Hao; Lin Hao was accompanied by two bodyguards, while these people brought nothing but female companions. They all took their places behind Lin Feng and Lin Hao. From Xiaobus perspective, it was clear that these people had already divided into two camps. One for Lin Feng, one for Lin Hao. The separation was as clear as that between the Jing and Wei rivers! However, although the camp belonging to Lin Feng was large, there were some whose gazes were flickering, clearly showing their wavering loyalties. "Interesting." Xiaobu laughed, his eyes filled with a different kind of amusement. Seeing Xiaobu laugh, Lin Feng suddenly laughed too. As for the meaning behind their laughter, Ill let you figure that out yourselves! "Let them come aboard." Xiaobu said to Li Jin. "Yes, Young Master." Li Jin went to get everyone on the boat. Soon, the Lin Family crowd boarded the ship. "Arrived?" Xiaobu looked at Lin Feng and said. This ship is his, hes the host, so of course he speaks first. "Yes, Im here. Are you ready?" A smile played at the corners of Lin Fengs mouth. "Very well prepared, Ill make sure everyone has a great time!" Xiaobu raised his eyebrowsthis guy must have guessed his preparations, damn, its not fun! "Good. Lets set sail then!" Lin Feng felt inexplicably happy when he saw Xiaobu raising his eyebrows. Hahaha, just a notch above! "Zhang Meng, lets set sail." Xiaobu told Zhang Meng. "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng nodded and went to do it. Xiaobu and Lin Feng enjoyed their exchange. The other Lin Family members were also very happy. Hearing the conversation between Lin Feng and Xiaobu, they thought there was some great preparation being discussed. "Wow, this is Feng Ges yacht, eh? Definitely extraordinary, so luxurious!" "Yeah! I used to be so envious! Now I finally got the chance to be on board." "Psh, the yacht isnt his anymore, now it belongs to Xiaobu." "So what? It was just given to Xiaobu by Feng Ge, doesnt he still have to obediently listen to Feng Ge?" "Well, thats true too! Hey, look, there are several hot beauties over there!" "..." As they chatted, those thinking with their lower halves immediately turned their gazes to Liang Lan and the others. "Yeah, I like that mature woman the most, look at that figure, explosive!" "Psh, do you even know how to enjoy life? Clearly that loli with huge assets is the best! That kind of body can give you the ultimate pleasure!" "I prefer that ice queen, the desire to conquer is off the charts!" "No way, no way, that shy student is the best, right? You can tell shes a newbie!" "..." A few lascivious ghouls started blatantly commenting on Liang Lan and the others. And even the boldest one, from Lin Haos camp, actually went up to them: "Beautiful miss, Im free tonight, would you like to spend a wonderful evening?" Listen to how that was put, whats the difference between that and suggesting we go to bed? These Lin Family people, they knew that Liang Lan and the others were with Xiaobu. But whether it was Lin Fengs camp or Lin Haos camp, they did not take Xiaobu seriously. That was the confidence of the Lin Family, the pride of the Lin Family. Just as they said, deep down they felt that Xiaobu was one of Lin Fengs people, Lin Fengs subordinate. Just a subordinate, can he compare with the Lin Family people? Arent his women just theirs to take whenever they want? The faces of Liang Lan and the others immediately turned cold, glaring at these filthy beasts, especially the one who had the audacity to come up and hit on them. "Zhang Meng, tie them up and hang them on the bow, as for that one, just get rid of him." Xiaobu waved his hand and instructed Zhang Meng. "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng obeyed the order and strode toward the guy who was hitting on someone. At this moment, the guy was no longer satisfied with just hitting on her; he actually reached out to cop a feel! "Slap!" Zhang Mengs large hand grabbed the bastards long hair and smashed it backward! "Thud!" The bastards head slammed heavily onto the deck! No need to explain how strong Zhang Mengs grip was! The kids head instantly split open. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A large clump of hair was yanked out by Zhang Meng, and a big patch of scalp came off with it! Blood was streaming down! "Ah!" Under the intense pain, the bastard let out a shrill scream! This scene left all the Lin Family members, who were making jokes, dumbfounded. Whats going on? Why did they suddenly start fighting? And is this Lu Xiaobu one of Lin Fengs subordinates? Surprise turned to anger! This Lu Xiaobu is too arrogant, being a subordinate, he actually dared to let his men attack the Lin Family members?! Looking for death?! "F*ck..." However, just as the first person was about to shout the first syllable. Their words were once again forcefully choked back. Because they saw that the person they thought was a subordinate to a subordinate did not stop at all but stood up again, raised his thick foot, and stomped hard between the legs! "Crack!" It was a complete mess! Yellow and red were scattered all over the place! "Ah!" Another scream, and the intense pain had triggered the guys self-defense mechanism, making him faint. But even though he was unconscious, his body was still twitching! Now! The Lin Family members were even more furious! "How dare you! Utterly reckless!" "Lu Xiaobu, do you know who we are?!" "How dare you lay a hand on us? We are the Lin Family!" "Coming here to hang out is because we give face to Brother Feng, otherwise do you think you could have invited us?!" "..." Some of them, emotionally charged, actually wanted to make a move on Lu Xiaobu. They were directly slapped back to their place by Li Jin with a slap each! And Zhang Meng casually picked up a rope, dutifully fulfiled Lu Xiaobus order, hoisted the bastard up, and hung him at the bow of the boat! This scene shocked and angered the Lin Family members. "How audacious! You are committing murder!" "Utterly reckless! How dare you attack us?!" "Brother Feng, look, this is your subordinate?!" "Too presumptuous!" "..." However, Lin Feng completely ignored their words, even took the red wine handed to him by the butler and savored a mouthful with relish. Comfortable! After Zhang Meng took care of the first one. He took the rope and walked towards the few remaining bastards who were cursing and swearing, unstoppable in his might, amidst their cries and roaring threats or intimidating but inwardly cowardly expressions, tied them up one by one, and hung them at the bow. "Young Master, its done." Zhang Meng reported. "Hm, continue sailing for another thirty to forty nautical miles, then throw them overboard." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. On his turf, hitting on his people? No matter whose family or whos subordinate you are! "Yes!" Zhang Meng nodded in acknowledgment. The Lin Family members shuddered, their eyes all turning to Lin Feng. But! Lin Fengs action made their livers split with fear! Chapter 463 - 461 Eagles Struggle Fiercely [Fourth Update] Chapter 463: 461 Eagles Struggle Fiercely [Fourth Update]Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the Lin Family members were all stricken with terror! What? Thirty to forty nautical miles? And then to be thrown overboard?! What does this mean? Does it mean to make these people swim back?! How is that possible?! Swim thirty to forty nautical miles? They are no professional swimmers; they are rich scions! Let alone thirty to forty nautical miles, even if they were asked to jump in now and swim back, not one of them could confidently slap their chest and say its no problem! Is this meant to take their lives? And, among them, theres even one who is seriously injured! This is outright murder! Their gazes involuntarily turned towards Lin Feng. He was their leader, and the organizer of this event. "Feng Bro, Feng Bro, do something about him!" "Feng Bro, this kids gone mad!" "This is going to get someone killed!" "Feng Bro!" "..." Meanwhile, Lin Hao, who aspired to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Feng, kept silent on the side, with a glint of gold flashing in his eyes. Opportunity! This is an opportunity! It must be seized! The people on the ship were yelling, and those hanging by the bow were letting out gut-wrenching screams. "Feng Bro! Feng Bro! Help!" "Save us! Feng Bro!" "We dont want to die!" "..." All this was normal. But one person was not. His cries were: "Hao Bro! Hao Bro! Save me!" Clearly, this person was one of Lin Haos men. Upon hearing this cry, a playful smile appeared on Lin Fengs lips. And Lin Hao, having heard this, also put on a smile. This was the moment he had been waiting for. It was time for him to step in. In his heart, he was convinced that Lin Fengs silence definitely meant he wanted to use Lu Xiaobus hand to deal with these people. In the end, he would surely make a move. After all, no matter what, Lin Feng was still of the Lin Family, and wouldnt dare to commit a grave offense against the world! Therefore, by intervening now, he could easily steal the limelight. "Feng Bro, stop messing around, alright? Its time to pull back!" Lin Hao stepped forward and said, "If this continues, Im afraid it might really cost lives!" As he spoke, the triumph in his eyes flashed by. If Lin Feng listened to him, then the Lin Family members would naturally credit him with the accomplishment. But if Lin Feng didnt listen to him and didnt release the captives now but rather later, then Lin Feng would dampen everyones spirits. The contrast between him and Lin Feng would become even more apparent! So, no matter what, in this game, he was the winner! Lin Feng heard Lin Haos words, glanced at him, looked at the Lin Family members who were showing gratitude towards Lin Hao, and his mouth curled into a smirk. Finally. He spoke up: "Lu Xiaobu." "Whats up?" Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu asked. Lin Feng knew him, and likewise, he knew Lin Feng! Lin Feng, who had repeatedly prepared to have a life-and-death struggle with Lu Xiaobu, save someone? If he would save someone, he wouldnt be Lin Feng! However, Lu Xiaobu knew. The Lin Family members didnt. They still thought that Lin Feng had finally spoken up, that there was finally hope for salvation. The result. "Dont let them come back up. While thirty-four nautical miles is far, there is still the possibility of swimming back. Find a deserted island or something, let them stay there." Lin Feng stated indifferently. His tone was calm, but his words were incredibly sharp! "Thats true, alright, Ill listen to you this time." Lu Xiaobu nodded, signifying his understanding. Its exactly this reasoning, if a lucky one were to return, Im afraid it would only cause more trouble. Its better to do as Lin Feng suggests. The two of them reached a consensus. But the Lin Family has gone mad! What does this mean!? Has Lin Feng gone mad?! Thirty-four nautical miles isnt enough, to find an uninhabited island, to exile these people!? Lin Feng, youre a Lin Family member, and so are they! "Feng Ge! Whats gotten into you, Feng Ge!" "Feng Ge, why are you siding with this outsider!" "We are family after all!" "..." The people hanging were also hearing the merciless judgment they hoped would save them, raining down from their supposed savior. Instantly, they started to wail and scream in anguish. "Feng Ge! Feng Ge! I dont want to die!" "Feng Ge! Please spare me!" "Feng Ge!" "..." Of course, there was still an idiot who was different from the rest: "Hao Ge! Save me!" Lin Haos expression darkened. He never imagined that Lin Feng could be so vicious and heartless. He was even more ruthless than Lu Xiaobu, the outsider when dealing with their own! However, he still felt deep down that perhaps Lin Feng was still just warning them. So, in the end, he couldnt help but speak up: "Feng Ge, can you stop joking around?" Hearing this. Lu Xiaobu burst out laughing: "Hahaha, Lin Feng ah Lin Feng, youre actually being told to stop playing around by your own people! Interesting! Interesting!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Lin Feng, who was always calm, showed a flash of irritation on his face. When others criticize him, its like a chick saying to an eagle: "Your beak is not sharp at all." Would the eagle get angry? No, it would simply swallow the chick whole, to prove its beaks sharpness! But what about this! If the same message came from another eagle: "Your beak is not sharp at all." Would it get angry then? Of course, it would! Not only would it get angry, but they would also fight! This is the difference in status and circle! The Lin Family members criticizing him, of course, they wouldnt dare, and even if they did, he wouldnt care, but a word from Lu Xiaobu could infuriate him to no end! Therefore, his gaze towards Lin Hao, the instigator, was ice cold. His gaze was like a knife, piercing straight through Lin Haos eyes and into his heart, causing Lin Hao to shudder involuntarily. Not only that. Lin Feng also instructed his housekeeper: "Housekeeper, go clean the dirt off the deck, its not suitable for a lady to do such work!" "Yes, Young Master Lin!" The housekeepers face was a whirlwind of complex emotions. Even he didnt expect that Lin Feng would take action against his own family members. At this thought, his eyes involuntarily drifted towards Lu Xiaobu, who was laughing carefreely. He was certain that Young Master Lins transformation was definitely influenced by Young Master Lu. But though he thought this, As Young Master Lins housekeeper, he naturally had to obey Young Master Lins commands! Thus, he went to the spot of the recent turmoil and said to Liang Lan, who was preparing to clean: "Miss Liang Lan, allow me to do it instead." Liang Lan glanced over, thought for a moment, nodded, and handed the items to the housekeeper. This seemingly normal scene. However, filled all the Lin Family members eyes with horror! This isnt as simple as just cleaning trash. What kind of trash is this? This is one of their own Lin Family members eggs, oh, two of them! Lu Xiaobus men doing the cleaning is normal! But Lin Feng sending his housekeeper to clean, to take over the work from Lu Xiaobus men, what does that imply?! It means that his earlier words were not a joke at all! Those people, are as good as dead! At that thought. "Gulp!" The Lin Family members swallowed hard. In Lin Fengs eyes, they, who share his blood, are less important than a Lu Xiaobu! Chapter 464 - 462: Who Won [5th Update] Chapter 464: Chapter 462: Who Won [5th Update]The Lin family members were terrified, and even Lin Haos eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. But Lin Haos terror was not simple; his eyes were still darting around! He wouldnt just admit defeat like that! It hadnt even started! While their side was exploding with emotion, Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu were leaning against the railing. Lin Feng swirled the red wine in his hand, while Lu Xiaobu held a beer. "Cheers?" Lin Feng looked at Lu Xiaobu, his tone slightly playful. "Cheers it is." Lu Xiaobu was as carefree as ever, clinked glasses with Lin Feng, and then took a big gulp. Lin Feng did the same, his drink almost on par with Lu Xiaobus. He had to compete with Lu Xiaobu even in this trivial matter! "It seems Ive won. That was my victory toast just now!" Lin Feng said cheerfully, "Youve taken action against the Lin family, which means youve officially gone against them. My goal has been achieved. Honestly, I didnt expect it to be so simple." He was in a really good mood. He had prepared a series of plans, after all. But the plans hadnt even started, and he had already gotten the outcome he wanted. Lu Xiaobu had clashed with the Lin family! "Really? Are you sure youve won?" Lu Xiaobu toyed with the beer can in his hands, speaking indifferently. "Of course, Ive definitely won. Ive achieved my goal; isnt that a victory?" Lin Feng said with a laugh. "Really? What if I let these people go back alive? You know I can do it." Lu Xiaobu also smiled, looking at Lin Feng, "If they go back alive, sure, Ive gone against the Lin family, but you, the double-dealer, would be the first to get dealt with! By then, if youre dead and Im still alive, Ill just be confronting the Lin family. No big deal!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Lin Fengs eyes went from triumphant to sharp in an instant: "You want to go down with me?" "Congratulations, your IQ has been recharged." Lu Xiaobu laughed, "Youve been threatening me with mutual destruction every single day. Now, its my turn." Lin Fengs gaze became even sharper: "No! You dont want them to live!" "No! I do!" Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu stood his ground! Their gazesone sharp, the other vast, one domineering, the other languid, one like a hurricane sweeping the land, the other unafraid of the hurricane as if the earth itself! A series of sparks almost materialized, putting pressure on everyone on the ship, making it hard for them to breathe! Everyone felt as if their hearts were being incessantly hammered, a suffocating sensation filling their innermost beings! Even Lin Hao was no exception! At this moment, he finally understood why Lu Xiaobu was recognized by Lin Feng as a worthy adversary! Divine Thoughts flashed through Lin Fengs mind at this moment! He understood what Lu Xiaobu was saying. That is, although it seemed like Lin Feng had won and Lu Xiaobu had clashed with the Lin family. But was that really what Lin Feng wanted? No! It wasnt! What he wanted was for Lu Xiaobu to clash with the Lin family while he was safe and sound! That would be a real victory! But what about now? Lu Xiaobu, just like before, made a move of mutual destructionIll clash with the Lin family, sure, but Lin Feng, you have to die first! This was really uncomfortable! Just like when he had made Lu Xiaobu feel the same with this tactic! The intense gaze between the two men continued. Suddenly. "Hahaha!" Lin Feng suddenly laughed, he lifted his glass, looking at Lu Xiaobu: "Today is for fun. How about we dont talk about those matters?" "It looks like youve admitted defeat." Lu Xiaobu also raised his glass, "Lets consider this drink as my victory toast!" "Snap!" Lin Fengs hand clenched the glass instantly, veins popping on his arm! Indeed! Didnt it just mean he had admitted defeat? Damn it all! Hed just finished his own victory toast, and now he had to toast to Lu Xiaobus victory! This was freaking frustrating! But frustration aside, Lin Feng still raised his glass and downed it in one go: "Alright, cheers!" "Cheers!" Lu Xiaobu chugged his beer from the can in one gulp. Then! Lu Xiaobu tossed the empty can into the trash bin. Lin Feng just stood there with his glass, dumbfounded. He was the type to compete with Lu Xiaobu over every little thing. Now Lu Xiaobu had finished his drink and threw away the can with such flair! But what about him? He had a glass! Damn it, to throw or not to throw? "It seems, in the end, Ive won this round by a small margin." Lu Xiaobu turned back with a smile, then walked away: "Hahaha! If youre free, come inside and play a few rounds! This place has pretty much everything!" "Fuck!" Lin Feng was seething with anger. Motherfucker, its not a big deal! But its damn irritating inside! Damn it! Eventually, he handed the glass to the butler and also walked inside. No, he had to regain his face! Both of them went inside, followed by Liang Lan, Zhang Meng, and Lin Fengs butler one by one. At this moment, on the deck outside, only the dumbfounded members of the Lin Family remained. From the very start, they had been shocked! What did they see? Lin Feng, who had always been incredibly haughty, harsh even to the Lin Family members, and who looked down on the other three of Imperials Four Young Masters. Actually! Actually engaging in a highly pleasant conversation with Lu Xiaobu?! And thats not all! What was the meaning of this at the end? Lu Xiaobu actually had the upper hand? He had won over Lin Feng by a slight margin! And under such circumstances, the haughty Lin Feng didnt throw a tantrum?! "Am I going blind?!" "Could it be that its not Brother Feng who came today, but someone else?!" "Why? Why would Brother Feng pay such great attention to Lu Xiaobu, a mere member of the Third Level Rich List?!" "Does this Lu Xiaobu have some secrets we dont know about?!" "Thats not right! Why would an elephant befriend an ant?!" "No, thats not it, they are not friends, they seem more like enemies!" "Thats even more wrong! An elephant and an ant as enemies? How many can the elephant squish with one foot?!" "..." They were discussing this among themselves. Liang Lan, who came out to fetch something, heard these discussions and a cold smirk appeared on her lips as she gave the people a chilling look: "Dont forget, those ants you speak of have already squashed several of you! If I hear similar words again, theyll squash a few more!" With the Young Masters support, she was fearless! Her words hit these Lin Family members, who were avoiding reality, like a hefty slap across the face. Their faces turned crimson with the sting of shame! Yes, they had selectively ignored the fact that theyd already been squashed by the so-called ants! And then! "Crack!" A thunderbolt appeared in the sky. Making them shiver uncontrollably! "Whoosh!" After that, a torrential downpour began! The weather at sea is so unpredictable! Everyone got drenched! They one by one skulked back to change their clothes. And for those who didnt bring extra clothes, especially the women, its time to consider the clothes Lu Xiaobu prepared. What clothes again? Do you remember?! Chapter 465 - 463 Pyramid [First Update] Chapter 465: Chapter 463 Pyramid [First Update]Arrived at the entertainment room. Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng had not yet spoken. However, their subordinates had already clashed. Liang Lan skillfully took out a box of cigars specially prepared for Lin Feng, clipped the end with a cigar cutter, lit a specialized match, put the cigar tip in the flame, and slowly rotated the cigar. Until the head of the cigar had turned black, with the edges displaying a ring of gray-white, the inner side showing a circle of ignited ember, and a little blue smoke gently emerging, did Liang Lan hand the cigar to Lin Feng. This wasnt service, it was a display of status. It implied that Young Master Bu was the host here, so the guests should please go first! A silent declaration of war. The Young Master slightly won this round, so they couldnt fall behind. Lin Fengs housekeeper saw. Hey, are you getting excited! Thinking my professionalism as a housekeeper doesnt exist! Dont forget, this ship used to be Lin Fengs, he is too familiar with this place! Bright Sword? Then Ill follow suit! Since youve lit a cigar, Ill pour the drinks. He moved elegantly and stepped up to the liquor cabinet... Looking up... Uh... beer?! The housekeepers mouth twitched! Why is there only beer here?! He thought about it and opened the cupboard below the liquor cabinet! Uh... baijiu (sorghum liquor)?! The housekeeper was completely frustrated. Why are these the only drinks here?! Whats going on here?! Pairing cigars with beer or baijiu? Is there such a precedent in this world? The delicate aroma of the cigars would be completely overwhelmed by these two types of alcohol! But, he wasnt weak, if the ship didnt have it, they brought their own. He went to the previously prepared supply storage, took out the wine and glasses, returned to the entertainment room, and elegantly poured for the two young masters. Its a draw again! Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng didnt pay attention to their subordinates skirmish, their focus was on the gambling table! "Play a couple of rounds?" Lin Fengs desire to win was exceptionally strong in such a gambling environment! "Depend on luck, doesnt sound very fun." Lu Xiaobu said, picking up a sealed deck of cards and starting to unwrap it. "Thats true, how do you want to play then?" Lin Feng agreed. At their level, merely depending on luck really meant there was nothing else to compare. "Im too lazy to play, but I know if I dont, youll try to make me play." Lu Xiaobu spread out the cards one by one as he spoke. "Nonsense." Lin Feng rolled his eyes and took a puff of the cigar. "So, lets play something that doesnt rely on luck." Lu Xiaobu picked up two cards, set them up in an A-shaped triangle, and placed it on the gambling table. Then he set up another next to it. After that, he placed a playing card on top. Finally, he set up another triangle on top. A small card pyramid was completed. You all should have played this before. Lin Feng watched Lu Xiaobus moves, staying silent, just quietly observing, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to speak. When his opponent was Lu Xiaobu, he was extremely patient. Because, with a little carelessness, he could be tricked by Lu Xiaobu. This feeling of treading on thin ice was thrilling! "Well compete in this: stacking a pyramid of cards. In half an hour, whoever builds the taller pyramid wins!" Lu Xiaobu laughed. "Continue." Lin Feng signaled. He knew the rules were definitely not that simple. At the same time, he also picked up an unopened deck of cards and, like Lu Xiaobu, started to build a pyramid! "Of course, just stacking would be too boring. You have six people, and I have six people. Since you dared to bring them here, you must be very confident in them. So, they can move freely, either protect our own or sabotage the opponents. Everything depends on them, how about that?" Lu Xiaobu finished explaining the rules. "I have no problem with that." Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and agreed. As Lu Xiaobu said, if he dared bring these six people, he was confident in them! "Good, lets start then." Lu Xiaobu knocked down the small pyramid in front of him. Lin Feng did the same. Since it was a competition, there had to be a fair start. And Liang Lan, Zhang Meng, and their groups eyes instantly blazed with fighting spirit. Lin Fengs six people felt the same! Even before the rules were set, they had already been competing with each other. Now with the rules set and still being the main force, they were even more fired up! Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu started. The first layer. The second layer. The third layer. Neither side was fast. They even had time to clink cups and take a few sips. Because they knew that their speed wasnt the most important. These card pyramids could be blown over by a breeze, and the higher it got, the easier it toppled! So, the real victory hinged on their subordinates! It depended on whether they could protect well or attack fiercely! And another key point was the strength of the attack. Too small, no effect. Too large, it might even affect their masters own pyramid. This truly tested teamwork, control, mindset, and various other aspects. Liang Lan and their group of six gathered together for a meeting. "Ill handle the offense," Li Jin volunteered. "I can perform long-range attacks, which makes it easier to attack." "No, you cant be the main attacker," Liang Lan countered directly. "Your so-called long-range attack looks good, but its really not effective. For a card pyramid, blowing a breath and bombing with a missile have the same effect!" Hearing Liang Lans words, Li Jin immediately realized his mistake and nodded, "I thought too simply." "Our advantage is not actually in Zhang Meng or Li Jin, because theyll definitely know about you and will guard against you!" Liang Lans Divine Thought sparked as she analyzed and spoke: "So, our victory actually lies in Qianmin, Luo Xue, and Jingyuan!" Hearing her analysis, everyone frowned slightly, but no one objected. "You may find it incredible, but have you observed? The three women Lin Feng brought are all not his women. They seem more like servants, with a restrained demeanor. Im convinced this is a breakthrough point." Liang Lan continued speaking. Hearing Liang Lans words, a few people immediately turned to look at those three women. Indeed, just as Liang Lan claimed, the three women seemed normal at first glance, but a hint of restraint occasionally flashed in their eyes. Clearly, they were not accustomed to such high-stakes confrontations. "Okay, stop looking, be careful not to expose yourselves." Liang Lan quickly stopped them, then lowered her voice even further: "We should do this..." While they were having their meeting, Lin Fengs housekeeper was also holding a meeting. Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Oh, right, the housekeepers last name is Jia, so from now on, well refer to him as Housekeeper Jia. Finally. While Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng slowly reached the fifth or sixth layer. At this moment, ten minutes of the agreed half-hour had already passed, leaving only two-thirds of the time left! Both sides had almost finished their discussions at the same time. Twelve people, twenty-four gazes clashing together, created a severe explosion! The battle was on the verge of erupting! Chapter 466 - 464: Explosion [Second Update] Chapter 466: Chapter 464: Explosion [Second Update]The battle had begun. Of course, dont you all think that this battle would involve wielding chairs and wine bottles in a brawl. That kind of battle would not occur on this occasion. This was a face-saving contest between two young masters! To win, one must win beautifully, elegantly. Otherwise, a victory through brute force would already be a loss! Liang Lan, feigning a direct assault, took the initiative. "Look at my memory, forgetting to offer a cigar to Young Master Lu." With a self-reproaching demeanor, Liang Lan picked up a cigar, stood beside Lu Xiaobu, skillfully lit the cigar, and then, seemingly dissatisfied with the way the cigar was burning, gently blew on the bottom of it. Whoosh! That breath, carrying Liang Lans fragrant breath, was not aimed at the cigar, but swept past it, heading towards Lin Fengs card pyramid. While Liang Lan launched her first attack, Zhang Meng and Li Jin stood motionless behind Lu Xiaobu, fulfilling their duties as bodyguards. Similarly, Lin Fengs two bodyguards also stood like iron towers, not budging an inch. Just as Liang Lan speculated, Zhang Meng and Li Jin were being watched by the others; all four maintained a mutual check. Once the four Martial Artists exchanged blows, the outcome would be mutually assured destruction! Housekeeper Jia keenly noticed something amiss. He slightly curled his lipsthis move was quite weak. "Young Master Lin, let me pour you a drink." Housekeeper Jia glanced at Lin Fengs glass, which only had a little wine left at the bottom, and elegantly turned around, lifting the wine bottle to pour for Lin Feng. His hand and the bottle conveniently blocked Liang Lans breath. Dont think its nonsense. As a professionally trained housekeeper, he possessed sufficient judgment and keen eyesight. Of course, it was impossible for the wine bottle to completely block the breath, but Liang Lan wasnt using all her strength to blow either. So, it was enough! Indeed. Lin Fengs card pyramid merely trembled slightly, almost unaffected. The corners of Housekeeper Jias mouth slightly curled. And at this moment. Liang Lans real attack was on its way. The spicy character made her entrance. "Ding dong." A casino chip from the peppers hand fell to the ground, coincidentally rolling towards Lin Feng. "Hehe." The pepper flashed a mischievous smile, took two steps forward, bent down to pick it up. Housekeeper Jias eyes immediately narrowed, his previously emerging smile instantly retracting. Its all over, fallen for the trap! The previous was just a feint. But now, he was slowly pouring wine and simply could not free his hands. Unless he didnt care about Young Master Lins face and stopped pouring to intervene. But, as mentioned before, this battle was fundamentally about the young masters face-saving, and if he, as Young Master Lins housekeeper, compromised Young Master Lins face, that would be a loss! Thus, he could only make a gesture to one of the maids. The maid immediately understood. "Let me do it." The maid bent down to pick up the chip. "No need." The maids eyes instantly met with the spicy characters gaze. Who was the spicy character? Formerly of the Zhou Family, her aura and gaze naturally dominated any maid! Thus, in an instant! The maids body instinctively stiffened slightly. It was this stiffness that allowed the spicy character to bend down smoothly and pick up the chip. In passing, she also created a slight breeze as she stood up. "Whoosh!" "Hua!" Lin Fengs pyramid was affected. A card was blown off! Stir a single hair and the whole body is affected! A third of Lin Fengs pyramid collapsed, its original seven layers reduced to five, with some of the cards now askew. Lu Xiaobu won the first round! "Sorry about that." S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Xiaobu gave Lin Feng a shrug and turned to leave. After turning around, she immediately gave Liang Lan a wink and flashed a yeah hand signal. Mission accomplished! At this moment, Housekeeper Jia finally poured the wine to the standard level. He put down the bottle with an unpleasant look on his face and cast a cold glance at the maid, who shivered with fright. Lin Fengs eyes also flashed with sharpness as he glanced at the housekeeper. The message was clearhandle it! The housekeeper bowed slightly in acknowledgment. He stood up, nodded at Liang Lan across from him. Truly worthy of being Young Master Lus subordinate, truly a formidable Tian Jilan! But, Im not a pushover either! Liang Lan nodded back faintly. Bring it on! "It looks like Im leading for now." Lu Xiaobu said to Lin Feng with a triumphant smile. "Its not over yet." Lin Fengs gaze returned to calm as he looked at Lu Xiaobu and said, "The last one to laugh is the true winner." "Could it be my laughter..." Lu Xiaobu was speaking when he suddenly saw the Western girl standing behind Lin Feng, the tall mare, stretch lazily at Housekeeper Jias cue. Theres nothing wrong with stretching. But, damn it, someone had definitely tampered with this maids clothes. It must have been slashed with a knife, causing the clothes to be unable to bear the burden anymore! So! As she stretched, the tremendous weapons, due to the power exerted, burst her clothes right open! "Pop!" In an instant, two big white rabbits jumped out! "Pfft!" Lu Xiaobu, who was speaking, suddenly spit out. Thats it! Half of Lu Xiaobus pyramid collapsed due to his own doing. Now only four levels were left! Below Lin Feng! "Mother seller b**ch! Thats ruthless!" Lu Xiaobu wiped away the drool from the corner of his mouth, looking at the big white rabbits, and said to Lin Feng. "You scratch my back, I scratch yours." Lin Feng revealed a triumphant expression. Not bad, this move is impressive. But Liang Lan and the others had grim expressions on their faces. Damn, they hadnt expected this move. It was a deliberate attack against the Young Master! "What kind of behavior is this? Go change your clothes immediately!" Housekeeper Jia waved his hand at the Western girl, signaling her to go and change. Although his words were strict, his lips were curled in a proud smile. In plotting, maybe Im not as good as you, Tian Jilan. But we have our strengthsthese three maids are mere maids, not Young Master Lins women; they can be sacrificed. But you lot cant do that! Liang Lan stared at Housekeeper Jia, her fighting spirit boiling in her eyes! Impressive, truly deserving of Young Master Lins peoplethere are no weak soldiers under a strong leader! At this moment, fifteen minutes had passed. Half the time was still left. Though it seemed like Lu Xiaobu had four levels left and Lin Feng five, in reality, they were tied. After all, they could rebuild! So, both Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng were adjusting their card pyramids. Liang Lan whispered a couple of words to Su Luoxue, and then said with a smile to everyone, "Its been a while, Ill have the chef serve some food. Everyone must be hungry." Her suggestion was reasonable, and Housekeeper Jia had no reason to object, so he said with a smile, "Of course." He smiled, but inside, he was on high alert. He knew this was definitely an attack from Liang Lan. He had to be very cautious. However, what baffled him was how Liang Lan was going to strike with the food?! Chapter 467 - 465: Two-Pronged Approach [Third Release] Chapter 467: Chapter 465: Two-Pronged Approach [Third Release]Housekeeper Jia thought for a long time, but still couldnt figure out how Liang Lan was going to use the food to attack. However, the moment the food arrived. Housekeeper Jias mouth twitched, and his face turned green. Damn it! A grill? Skewers?! Bringing the grill to the recreation room for skewers?! My Young Master Lu, its fine that your boat is full of beer and strong liquor, but whats with these skewers now?! Skewers and a cruise ship, why does this combination feel so horrible? However, what surprised him was. "The skewers are here, hahaha, come, bring me two skewers of grilled kidney first, make it spicy," Lu Xiaobu said cheerfully. Hearing this, Housekeeper Jias mouth twitched again. No, Young Master Lu, why are you so familiar with this kind of food?! What do you usually eat?! However! What made him even more frustrated, even painfully so, happened. "Bring me two skewers of grilled kidney too, and one skewer of grilled bread. I dont want it so spicy, but add more cumin." Lin Feng also showed a surprised expression when he saw the skewers. "Pfft!" Housekeeper Jia heard Lin Feng being just as familiar with the skewers as Lu Xiaobu. Suddenly, it felt like he had been stabbed in the heart! Young Master Lin?! Are you kidding me?! Youve never eaten this kind of food before, why are you so familiar with it? His mind suddenly recalled the only few days he was not by Young Master Lins side. Those were the days when Young Master Lin disappeared! At that moment, he was certain! Young Master Lin must have gone to hang out with Young Master Lu during those days and was led astray by him! Definitely! No wonder Young Master Lin talked back to the lord after returning those days! But as frustrating as it was, he still couldnt figure out, even if it was skewers, how could they attack? So, his gaze stayed fixed on the skewer chef, and on those skewers. The grilling started, and nothing happened. Young Master Lins grilled kidney was ready, and still, nothing happened! Having Lin Fengs skewers grilled first was arranged by Liang Lan, serving the guest first as per etiquette, so no problem there. Now it was time to grill Young Master Lus skewers, and still, nothing happened! Now 25 minutes had passed, only five minutes left! This deepened the frown on Housekeeper Jias forehead. Could this also be a feint? But, he observed Liang Lans expression and it did not seem like a feint! Liang Lans eyes were confident and full of fighting spirit, clearly a look that was convinced of victory! Under these circumstances, he also dared not initiate their attack, lest they fall into the enemys trap just like during the first attack. After all, when it comes to scheming, he truly was no match for Tian Jilan! Battling such a master, victory or defeat was decided in a blink, better to accomplish nothing than to commit a fault! Otherwise, it might lead to unrecoverable disaster! At this moment. The foreign woman came back, having changed her clothes. Housekeeper Jia glanced at her, nodded, and let her join the group again! His gaze turned back to the skewer chef. The skewer chef picked up the chili powder and started sprinkling. Housekeeper Jia nodded, there was nothing wrong with that, Young Master Lu wanted it spicy. "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" The chili powder was sprinkled, and although the skewer chef was careful enough, this stuff couldnt be entirely controlled, some still drifted into the air. Everyone smelled the chili powder, their noses twitched, but they felt nothing special! However! At this moment! Liang Lans mouth slightly curled up, caught by Housekeeper Jias eye. Suddenly, a spark of realization flashed through Housekeeper Jia, and he shivered! Something was wrong! He realized there was a problem. He immediately turned abruptly to look at the foreign woman who had just rejoined the group. Indeed! At this moment, the Western womans facial expression was all contorted. This is the rhythm of a sneeze! Thats pretty normal, considering most Westerners dont have a high tolerance for spicy food. After all, even Lao Ganma can make them feel unbearably spicy. Of course, countries that eat chili peppers like rice are the exception! But as normal as it is, this sneeze comes at a terrible time! Housekeeper Jia wanted to stop it, but it was already too late. Naturally, the Western woman didnt sneeze directly, that would be impolite, so she quickly turned around, bent down, and covered her mouth! Very fast, after all, when you feel a sneeze coming on, one doesnt usually think too much! However, it was this turn... Disaster struck! "Whoosh!" Lin Fengs card pyramid was blown by this gust of wind. It trembled slightly. Housekeeper Jia watched the cards anxiously. Luckily, they didnt fall, just trembled. But just as he was starting to relax. "Whoosh!" A breeze came from the direction of Lu Xiaobu and his group. This became the last straw that broke the camels back! Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Crash!" Lin Fengs card pyramid collapsed. This time, only two layers were left! Housekeeper Jias facial expression immediately turned extremely ugly! His gaze turned to Liang Lan, only to find Liang Lan blowing on the skewers for Lu Xiaobu, apparently because they were too hot. Everything made perfect sense! Housekeeper Jia clenched his teeth in frustrationdamn it, its another feint, and even a double diversion! Youre truly ruthless, Tian Jilan! Not only did you calculate this foreign maids tolerance to chili, but you also predicted my expression and reaction! Really impressive! Seeing Housekeeper Jias gaze, Liang Lan smiled elegantly, then handed the skewer to Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master, its not hot anymore." "Hmm." Lu Xiaobu happily took the skewer, looking delightedly at Lin Feng across from him who was turning green: "Wow wow, no time left, huh? How come theres only one layer left?" Seize every opportunity to annoy this guy! The angrier Lin Feng is, the happier he is! "Theres still time!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said. This time, he didnt even want to remind the housekeeper. The housekeeper should know what he needs to do himself! Housekeeper Jia of course knew! They had discussed for ten minutes; it wasnt just that one move! I might not outwit you in planning, but we will overpower your cunning with strength! His gaze became fiercer, somewhat resembling Lin Fengs. Liang Lan and the others also got ready. To prevent the opponent from using the tactic that distracts by bursting clothes, Liang Lan had Wu Qianmin sit on Young Master Bus lap. This way, Young Master Bu wouldnt be distracted by that tactic! Time ticked by. Yet Housekeeper Jia didnt make a move. This lack of action made Liang Lan even more vigilant. Was this going to be a decisive move? She no longer needed to attack now, since Lin Feng was down to just one layer; attacking was meaningless, her job was to protect! Finally. Time reached the last minute. Housekeeper Jia, watched by everyone, finally made his move. No extra actions, just refilling the drink for the infuriated Lin Feng, serving him another round. It seemed like everything was normal. As if Housekeeper Jia had given up on attacking. But even a fool knew that was impossible! Indeed! Something unusual happened! Chapter 468 - 466: Turning Defeat into Victory [4th Update] Chapter 468: Chapter 466: Turning Defeat into Victory [4th Update]Just as it was about to end, the hand of Housekeeper Jia, who was pouring wine, suddenly trembled, spilling the wine outside! A mistake! A mistake?! As a seasoned housekeeper, he actually made a mistake. Lin Fengs face sank immediately! Was this a rebellion? Screwing up the work, and now making such a joke! A look of panic appeared instantly on Housekeeper Jias face: "Young Master Lin, Im sorry, Im so sorry!" While speaking, Housekeeper Jia began wiping it off with a handkerchief. "Whoosh!" As he was wiping, because of his movement, a betting chip placed on the gambling table was flicked away! The chip was heading straight for Lu Xiaobus card pyramid! This was his last move, through his own mistake, to win the competition for Young Master Lin. It was the same principle as a deliberate foul on the sports field when theres no choice! How big is the gambling table? So the chip moved extremely fast and arrived in front of Lu Xiaobus card pyramid in an instant. Liang Lans heart skipped a beat. She could never have imagined that the housekeeper would pull such a move! A card pyramid could collapse with just a whiff of wind blowing on it, let alone a chip striking it! Could it be, a loss?! A surge of self-blame rose in Liang Lans heart; it was all because she was too confident! On the other hand, the corners of Lin Fengs mouth grew into an even wider smile. Hahaha, thats right, very impressive! This move was very eye-catching. His gaze immediately shifted to Lu Xiaobu, like a tiger baring its teethfinally, a win! But at this moment! "Swish!" Zhang Meng, who hadnt made a move yet, suddenly did! His arm was like a bullet fired from a gun, pressing down the chip in an instant! Stopping the chip from colliding with Lu Xiaobus card pyramid! Housekeeper Jia was instantly shockedcould it be stopped like that? Youve got to be joking! Could it be a loss still?! Now it was his turn to feel a rise of guilt in his heart. However! The event was not over yet! Zhang Meng had indeed succeeded. But the way he put his hand out stirred the air, also disturbing the card pyramid! Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Whoosh!" "Crash!" Lu Xiaobus card pyramid began to collapse! At this point! Everyones heart was in their throat. Wu Qianmin also got down from Lu Xiaobu, watching the pyramid with immense tension! There was no time for another round of attacks. Win or lose, it all came down to this moment. Lin Feng was very nervous! Housekeeper Jia was very nervous! Liang Lan was very nervous! Zhang Meng was even more nervous, his hand didnt dare to move at all! However, everyone was nervous. Only Lu Xiaobu was not, he bent down, as if something had fallen and he went to pick it up! "Crash, crash, crash!" Lu Xiaobus card pyramid continued to produce a chain reaction! In a moment, Lu Xiaobus pyramid was reduced to just three layers. Stop! Stop! Stop! The only word in the minds of Liang Lan and Zhang Meng! If it stopped now, they would win! Continue! Continue! Continue! And in the minds of Housekeeper Jia and others, including Lin Feng, was this word. Keep going! It must continue! "Crash!" It seemed, today the Goddess of Fortune was upset with Lu. The third layer collapsed. Liang Lan and Zhang Meng immediately felt a trace of disappointment and guilt. But they still did not dare to relax their vigilance. There was still time, even if they didnt win, they mustnt lose! Lin Feng and his company also didnt dare to relax: Continue! Continue! Continue! "Crash!" Lu Xiaobus card pyramid toppled once again. It was over! The Goddess of Fortune must be visiting her maternal home today! Liang Lan and Zhang Meng were instantly filled with remorse! They lost! They actually lost! They had let the Young Master down! Housekeeper Jia and the others were immensely overjoyed: "Hahaha, we won, Young Master Lin, mission accomplished, we won!" "Not bad!" Lin Feng also wore a satisfied smile. Awesome! "Lu Xiaobu, stop crawling under the table. You lost, I won, hahahaha!" Lin Feng said with unrivaled triumph, "Avoidance wont solve the problem, you should come out and face it!" "You won?" The voice of Lu Xiaobu came from under the table. "Of course! Times up, I have two tiers left, you only have one!" Lin Feng said proudly. Beating Lu Xiaobu feels better than anything! "Then come down and have a look." Lu Xiaobus calm voice came through. "Huh?" Lin Feng was suddenly baffled. By the tone of it, Lu Xiaobu seemed still pretty confident? It wasnt just him. Housekeeper Jia, Zhang Meng, Li Jin, Liang Lan, all of them were baffled. So. Everyone lowered their heads together to look under the table. And then! "Pfft!" Lin Feng spat out blood out of shock; his face turned green! Damn it! Lu, you bastard! Do you know what Lu Xiaobu did? He freaking built another pyramid of cards under the table, exactly three tiers! The hell! Youre not playing by the rules again! At this point in time, it meant Lu Xiaobu had won in the end! "Pfft!" Housekeeper Jia spat out blood too, stepping back three paces. He felt like his heart was about to stop! What is this?! This is the real misdirection! Oh my god, were all busy attacking and defending, and here you are, starting a new stove?! But Liang Lan cheered: "Yay, long live Young Master!" Hahaha, we won, we really won! She thought they had lost just moments ago, but Young Master won! Without their help, Young Master won by himself! Young Master is awesome, way too awesome! Her heart was so excited that she immediately hugged Lu Xiaobu and gave him a kiss. Lu Xiaobu immediately chuckled with delight. Amazing! Sister Lan taking the initiative is really rare! Comfortable! The other three women were also ecstatic. "Hahaha!" Chili pepper also leapt up, jumping onto Lu Xiaobu and shook him vigorously. This made Lu Xiaobu even happier. Why? Do you remember what Chili pepper is wearing? A swimsuit, a swimsuit! Just that one layer! So right now, Lu Xiaobus feeling close contact with Chili pepper with no barriers. Up and down, you know what I mean! Cough cough cough! Wu Qianmin, this little jealous jar, saw this and, gritting her teeth and stamping her foot, also hugged Lu Xiaobus body. Lu Xiaobu instantly took in a breath of cold air. Thrilling! Big and small, soft and firm! A mix of fire and ice! Cough cough cough! Of course, Su Luoxue was also excited, but she was not that open, she could only silently clench her fist: "Boss is awesome!" Zhang Meng and Li Jin were also secretly excited! Long live Young Master! Long live Young Master! "Young Master Lin, its my fault, please punish me!" Housekeeper Jia wore a face full of guilt, ready to take the blame. "Forget it, it would be weird if you could figure out this bastards playstyle." Lin Feng sighed and did not blame Housekeeper Jia. If we lost, then we lost! It wasnt the first or second time, though a bit embarrassing, were almost used to it! After all, Lu Xiaobu is an opponent he recognizes! Well win it back next time! Anyway, the fight was thrilling! It was satisfying! While they were fighting, the other members of the Lin Family were changing their clothes. Chapter 469 - 467 Changed Clothes [Fifth Update] Chapter 469: Chapter 467 Changed Clothes [Fifth Update]Lin Hao brought his two bodyguards, well, its more accurate to call them assassins. Yeah, with his two assassins, he returned to his room. He was drenched, definitely needing a change of clothes. He hadnt brought any extra clothes which is normal since on this kind of luxury cruise, not having several sets of various types and models of clothing in every room would actually be weird! But then. He opened the wardrobe. "Fuck! What the hell is this?!" Lin Hao cursed out loud. Big underpants?! And they were obviously the worst kind of big underpants, some even had threads hanging out! Why would there be such crappy clothing like big underpants on such a luxurious cruise?! Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu, do you have holes in your brain?! He cursed Lu Xiaobu in his mind, then opened the lower wardrobe. He figured Lu Xiaobu must have tucked away all the normal clothes. Yeah, below were indeed normal clothes. Its swimwear! But why the hell is it womens? And transparent at that?! Fuck your grandpa! What the hell is all this?! Lin Haos face turned a shade of green verging on purple. When in his life had he ever encountered such a situation? Damn it! "Go, find some maids or something, have them wash my clothes, and dry them!" Lin Hao grimly put on the itchy big underpants, then tossed the clothes to the two assassins! He now felt like hundreds of thousands of ants were crawling all over his body. You ask why? Just wearing big underpants, isnt that too much? Ill tell you why! First, hes never worn these kinds of big underpants! Second, these big underpants are too low-quality, they chafe the skin! Third, there are no underwear, no briefs! Meaning, hes empty down there! These low-quality big underpants are directly rubbing against his private parts! He felt his crotch was filled with murderous intent, and damn it was cold! Fuck! "Yes!" The assassins took Lin Haos clothes and left. Lin Hao waited anxiously inside the room. He has a habit, when anxious, he likes to pace around! But! Today! Now! He dared not move, nor walk! Because, the more he walked, the more it chafed! Mother bitch! Lin Haos heart was roaring crazily! Soon, the assassins returned. "Washed it?!" Lin Hao got excited suddenly, never had he thought he would get excited over a piece of disposable clothing! "No, didnt find any maids!" The assassins shook their heads. "It doesnt have to be maids, men would do, anyone who can wash clothes!" Lin Hao was furious, why cant they think outside the box? "No, the entire ship, aside from the essential crew, doesnt have any servants, not even waiters." The assassins shook their heads again. "I fucking! Damn it! Wheres the laundry room? Ill go wash them myself!" Lin Hao was completely enraged. Damn it, washing clothes himself? When has he ever done such a thing? However! The assassin grimaced: "There is no laundry room, no washing machine, just washing powder and a washboard!" Since Lu Xiaobu wanted to mess with these guys, why would he provide them with a washing machine?! "Im going to your grandpa!" Lin Hao roared out in fury. Washing powder, washboard!? What for?! To make these young masters wash clothes themselves? Hand wash?! This is freaking insane! At this moment, its not just Lin Hao who is raging. Almost everyone is facing the same problem! "Fuck! Why are there no underwear?! Why only underpants?!" "Why are these underpants rubbing against the body?! And why are there loose threads?!" "Damn it, the threads got tangled around my buddy, almost broke it off!" "Are you crazy, Lu Xiaobu! What are you trying to do?!" "Where are the laundry workers? Where are the maids?! Why arent there any?!" "Why have all the washing machines been dismantled?! You did this on purpose, right?!" "Ah! I cant take it anymore!" "I dont know how to wash clothes! How the hell do I use this washboard?!" "F*ck it, why are there splinters on the washboard?! My hands!" "..." The men are all howling, and the women are not faring any better! Though they dont have to wear huge underpants, their clothes are high-end, which is great! But! Why the hell are they transparent?! Whats the difference between wearing them and not?! So, those who are dressed and those who arent, both end up hiding under the covers, too scared to come out! Thats why just now it was all men yelling about laundry, because all the women are hiding under the covers. What? You ask if there are any dominant men making women do the washing? Yes! And quite a few, these are all Lin Family Young Masters with their female companions. But heres the issue! When these female companions put on such clothes and wash clothes in front of you, what would you do? Well, they ended up going back under the covers. This time, two people! Cough cough cough! By the way, its worth mentioning, Lin Hao didnt bring a female companion. So, he is really suffering! Its a real pain! A genuine pain! You know what I mean! ... In the entertainment room, the showdown between Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng has already ended. The two are eating kebabs and drinking beer. "I say, since I won, shouldnt I get some benefits?" Lu Xiaobu sprawled on the chair, feet up on the gambling table, looking at Lin Feng opposite him. "What do you want? Let me tell you! This is just a petty game, dont expect any significant benefits!" Lin Feng rolled his eyes. At this moment, he is also with feet on the gambling table, almost the same pose as Lu Xiaobu. Seeing Housekeeper Jia and the others, their mouths twitching, hearts furiously raging internally. Young Master Lin! You are Young Master Lin! The big young master of the Lin Family! One of the Four Young Masters of Imperial! Its one thing to eat kebabs, but why such a low posture? Dont you think it conflicts with your stature? Is this another new skill unlocked after squatting down for a smoke?! Can we not play with Young Master Lu?! Continuing like this, we cant imagine what you will turn into! "Worry not, wont ask for anything too harsh, just need you to play along in a drama with me." Lu Xiaobus lips curved in a sly smile: "Its a win-win situation, also help you deal with those jumping around in front of you." "What are you up to?" Lin Feng perked up upon hearing this. Lu Xiaobus methods of pranking others, even he feels inferior, now that Lu Xiaobu says he wants to prank, it must be fun! "Not much, just accompany me to check the rooms later." Lu Xiaobu said with a mischievous smile. Its simply perfect timing, as it started to rain, those guys mustve changed clothes by now. Which means, transparent... cough cough cough, no, no, I mean the underpants... er, not right either, after all, those wearing underpants are all men! Never mind, you all know what I mean. No need to explain further! And as for why Lin Feng should come along, thats where the crux lies. Though Lu Xiaobu is the owner of this ship, he doesnt hold much sway over those from the Lin Family! Only Lin Feng, the big young master of the Lin Family, can wield enough influence! When the time comes, hehehe! Cough cough cough! Chapter 470 - 468 Do What Needs to Be Done [First Update] Chapter 470: Chapter 468 Do What Needs to Be Done [First Update]Lin Feng readily agreed to Lu Xiaobus suggestion. As Lu Xiaobu said, it was a win-win situation. Lu Xiaobu would have fun, and he could take the opportunity to catch these Lin Family members in the act, forcing them to obey him. Forget about whether a family trusts each other or not, he trusted these fence-sitters the least. He trusted Lu Xiaobu even more than them! So why not go for it. "Lets go, lets go right now!" Thinking this, Lin Feng was even more excited than Lu Xiaobu. At the same time, he felt a sense of gratitude towards Lu Xiaobu. No matter what Lu Xiaobus original intentions were, right now, Lu Xiaobu was genuinely helping him. That was enough! "So impatient? But its also a good time, indeed." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin. The time for important business should be about now, right! Perfect timing, hehehe! "Then lets go, Sister Lan, you all dont need to come." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand as he spoke. "Yes!" The four ladies were not stupid; they naturally guessed what was going on and obediently withdrew. They had their own matters to attend to. Such as, making the bed for Young Master, running hot water, washing clothes, etc. Oh, what will they use to wash clothes? A washing machine, of course! Others might not have one, but would Lu Xiaobu not have one? Really! Lin Feng didnt care; after all, those three women were his servants, not his women. It didnt matter to him. The group headed towards the guest rooms. "Whose room shall we check first?" Lu Xiaobu asked, "Lin Haos, who opposes you?" "No, not his!" Lin Fengs eyes narrowed, "I need to prepare a surprise for him first!" Lu Xiaobu, seeing Lin Fengs calculating expression, shrugged his shoulders, indicating he didnt mind. Now you go ahead and scheme against others, even if you scheme against me it doesnt matter! As long as youre happy, the happier the better! The happier you are, the more you lose your reason, the easier it is for you to fall into the trap Ive set for you! Thinking you can trick me? Not so easy! The group continued their way. As they walked, Lin Feng explained to Lu Xiaobu. "We are going to the room of a guy named Lin Tai, a die-hard loyalist of Lin Hao, and the one Lin Hao relies on the most." A cold light flickered in Lin Fengs eyes. "So what?" Lu Xiaobu listened as if he were being told a story, since it was none of his business, he might as well enjoy it. "But, Lin Hao is not a man of principle. There are very few women of Lin Tai that Lin Hao hasnt laid his hands on. He thinks hes done it covertly, but how could it ever escape me?" A vicious look appeared in Lin Fengs eyes: "The woman Lin Tai has brought with him this time is his favorite, and also Lin Haos favorite." "Tch, your heart is truly dark!" Lu Xiaobu curled his lip. Even if he was too lazy to think about it, he had an idea of what Lin Feng planned to do. It was nothing more than to use this woman to set Lin Hao and Lin Tai against each other, fighting like dogs over a bone, while Lin Feng reaped the benefits. Everyone had their schemes, and Lu Xiaobu didnt want to think about it too deeply. What he was more interested in was something else. "How did you find out about Lin Hao and that Lin Tai and their relationship with that woman?" Lu Xiaobu asked curiously. "Because, that woman has been my person from start to finish, planted by me at Lin Tais side." Lin Feng spoke this sentence with a casual expression in his eyes. As if it were a trivial matter. Indeed, theres no kindness in the Imperial Family, as the saying goes! "So, you brothers share happiness together? You all have a really good relationship." Lu Xiaobu twitched his mouth, and a not-so-suitable-for-children picture formed in his mind. "Get lost, what are you thinking? She is just a tool to me." Lin Feng rolled his eyes and said. Right in the midst of their conversation, they arrived at the so-called Lin Tais room. "Ding dong!" Housekeeper Jia took the initiative to ring the doorbell. No response. Housekeeper Jia glanced at Lin Feng for instructions. Lin Feng nodded his approval. "Young Master Lin Tai, Young Master Lin Feng is looking for you." Housekeeper Jia knocked on the door again. This time. There was finally a response. A breathless voice came through the intercom on the door: "Bro Feng is looking for me, huh, huh, huh, what for?" Hearing this voice, everyone showed a knowing look. This kid must be busy with important matters! If you dont believe it, just listen closely. You can even hear a female voice, also out of breath: "What is it? Hurry up!" "Open the door, Young Master Feng needs you for something." Housekeeper Jia coughed to regain his composure. "Can it wait a bit? Im in the middle of something..." Lin Tais pained voice came through! Yes, truly in pain! Must be holding back! Cough, cough, cough! Inside, Lin Tai was roaring in his mind: Damn it, why now?! Its a critical moment!!! Housekeeper Jia looked towards Lin Feng. Even though he was Lin Fengs housekeeper, he was still just a housekeeper. He couldnt say more than that. Otherwise, it would be too much. Lin Feng nodded, his voice growing deeper: "What? Do you want me to wait at the door for you?!" Lin Fengs voice transmitted through the intercom into the room. In an instant, Lin Tai was covered in cold sweat. Although he was Lin Haos man, Lin Hao was not yet the head of the Lin Family, Lin Feng was. Lin Tai couldnt ignore Lin Fengs words. Otherwise, Lin Feng would find a hundred different ways to make his life miserable! "Bro Feng, please wait a moment, Im opening the door right now!" Lin Tai climbed out of bed in great discomfort, put on his extremely awkward boxers, and then turned to his peach-like, yet unsatisfied female companion. Then, he glanced at the transparent swimsuit still on the floor, his facial features contorted together. Damn it, Lin Feng is coming in, what am I supposed to do now? This was his favorite companion, he couldnt let Lin Feng see her. He wouldnt even let him glimpse her, showing just how much he cherished this companion.

"Get dressed in the clothes you had on before, go out the window, and wait outside before coming back!" Lin Tai commanded. Although the previous clothes were drenched by the rain, they were still wearable. "Young Master Lin, I..." The female companions face showed reluctance as her body felt like a pool of sludge, yet he was asking her to climb out the window. "Hurry up!" Lin Tais eyebrows rose sharply, reprimanding her. His fondness for this companion was like ones for a toy, certainly not so-called love, so naturally, he wouldnt coddle her. "Alright." Under Lin Tais reproachful gaze, the female companion, weak and shaky, stumbled into her clothes and was about to climb through the window. "Wait a moment!" Lin Tai spoke up again. "Young Master Lin? I dont have to leave?" The female companion rejoiced, genuinely too tired to move. "Put this on!" Lin Tai casually grabbed a pair of boxers and threw them over the female companion, covering the exposed skin from view. His toy, he absolutely would not allow others to play with it, not even with a gaze! "Hmph!" The female companion humphed, too angry to speak, and climbed out through the window. Only then did Lin Tai go to open the door. What he didnt know was that as soon as his female companion went out the window, she encountered someone. One of Lin Fengs maids, she said to Lin Tais female companion: "Young Master Feng said to go to Lin Hao now and carry on with whatever you were doing!" Indeed, carry on was emphasized! Chapter 471 - 469 Love is a Beam of Light [2nd Update] Chapter 471: Chapter 469 Love is a Beam of Light [2nd Update]The perspective returns to Lin Fengs side. Lin Tai finally opened the door. When he saw so many people at the door, that detestable Lu Xiaobu among them, His heart couldnt help but incredibly relieved for the decision he just made. If he hadnt sent his female companion away, who knows how much trouble there would be. Oh, the poor kid has no idea that sending her away will only bring even bigger trouble! Lin Feng was just waiting for him to send her. "Feng Ge, is there something you need?" Lin Tai greeted Lin Feng. As mentioned before, no matter how much he resented it, he must maintain sufficient respect for Lin Feng. "Yes, to talk about some family matters." Lin Feng walked into the room on his own accord. Without waiting for Lin Tais permission. Of course, Lu Xiaobu also followed him in, which is why he wanted Lin Feng to accompany him to check the rooms. Its easy to blend in without any conflict arising. After all, let Lin Feng take the blame. Lu Xiaobu looked at the quilt on the ground, the sweat stains on the bed, and the water stains, then touched his chin and hehe smiled. "Oh!" Lu Xiaobus gaze turned toward the window. There were also sweat stains on that wall. Tsk tsk tsk, from that position, that angle, he could definitely have seen outside during that time, sss, not bad! This is truly facing the sea with spring warmth and flowers blooming! Ahem, ahem, ahem, you folks can experience that yourselves! Watching Lu Xiaobus unbridled gaze, Lin Tai was fuming with anger. But he didnt dare to make a scene because of Lin Fengs presence, especially since they just saw the relationship between Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu on the deck. So, he could only keep trying to kill Lu Xiaobu with his glare. Of course, it was wishful thinking! His glare couldnt even penetrate Lu Xiaobus thick skin! Lin Feng and Lin Tai began to discuss business. One glance and it was clear that Lin Feng was prepared; the matters he spoke of were both important and unimportant. They didnt give Lu Xiaobu any useful information to overhear, nor did they give Lin Tai any reason to ask them to leave. Lu Xiaobu was naturally leisurely and carefree. But Lin Tai was growing increasingly impatient inside. It was only halfway done just now, how could he bear it now? After a while, Lin Fengs phone vibrated slightly. A sharp light flashed in Lin Fengs eyesdone! "Okay, thats it for today!" Lin Feng said to Lin Tai. "Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Tai naturally agreed in a hurry. Finally, its over! Under Lin Tais murderous gaze, Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu left the room. However, as they were leaving, Lin Feng seemingly said casually: "How strange, where did Lin Hao get a female companion from? Id like to see whos been cuckolded!" After saying that, they really left. However, this seemingly casual remark was like a thorn that fiercely pierced into Lin Tais heart. Lin Hao has a female companion? Cuckolded? Hes not stupid! He knows that on the whole ship, probably only his female companion is not with someone. "No, no, it cant be! I am loyal to Hao Ge, how could he..." Lin Tai shook his head and consoled himself: "It must be Lin Feng using divisive tactics! Yes, its definitely that!" While saying this, Lin Tai took out his phone to call his female companion. Dudu dudu dudu! No one answered! Lin Tais expression instantly darkened! A bad premonition appeared in his heart, or rather, he felt a displeasing color emerge atop his head, and he could no longer care about anything else as he hurriedly opened the door and ran out! He had to confirm it for himselfit would be best if it wasnt true, but if it was! Lin Haos fists clenched involuntarily, veins popping on his forehead. What he didnt know was that his retreating figure was fully caught in the eyes of Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu hiding in the corner. "You really are wicked." Lu Xiaobu said to Lin Feng. "Wicked? I simply took advantage of the opportunity you gave me, nothing more." Lin Feng rolled his eyes: "Youre way more wicked than I am!" "Bullshit, look how pale I am?" Lu Xiaobu stretched out his hand and held it in front of him: "Look, how white?!" With his Attribute Value maxed out and munching on Immortal Beans like they were candy, he was indeed very pale, not just pale but also with a kind of crystal-clear appearance. sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Get lost!" Lin Feng cursed as he looked at Lu Xiaobus skin. He was fairly pale as well, but compared to Lu Xiaobu, damn, there was a big difference! Although men shouldnt compete over this, the fact that the other person was Lu Xiaobu involuntarily made him feel competitive! They were joking around here. Meanwhile, in Lin Haos room, a great battle was erupting. "Hao bro, stop, stop, Tai bro is probably looking for me now." The female companion said half-heartedly pushing him away. "Looking for you? Lin Feng that bastard has gone to him; would he even have time to look for you?" Lin Hao didnt bother with anything and threw his companion onto the bed, pouncing on her! What he didnt notice was that the woman had deliberately put her phone on silent, resulting in Lin Tais calls not being seen by Lin Hao. It also led him to mistakenly believe that Lin Tai was not looking for the companion! An intense battle waged on, halfway through storming the fortress. "Ding Dong!" The doorbell to Lin Haos room rang. What did Lin Hao care? He ignored it completely and continued his charge! "Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang incessantly, signaling the impatience of the person at the door. Finally, Lin Hao got impatient, picked up the intercom, panting heavily, and said irritably: "Who is it! Dont you know Im busy!" "Hao bro, its me, Lin Tai, I need to talk to you!" Lin Tais voice was very low! This was a sign of extreme suppression of anger. On his way over, he had asked several crew members. Through their descriptions, he was about 60 percent certain that his toy was in Lin Haos hands. And now, Lin Haos heavy breathing and tone were so similar to his own from before. Rage, resentment, and a murderous intent filled his heart! When Lin Hao heard that Lin Tai was at the door, his pupils dilated instantly! His entire body shivered, and he went limp! His eyes began to frantically dart around, trying to figure out how to smooth over this situation! The intercom fell silent for a moment. But at that moment. The female companion let out an unconscious murmur, hugging Lin Haos head close to her buxom chest: "Hao bro, come on!" Although the voice wasnt loud, it clearly transmitted through the intercom to Lin Tai at the door. "Click!" A bolt of lightning seemed to flash through Lin Tais mind! His companions voice, was he not familiar with it?! It was conclusive evidence! Suddenly, Lin Tai felt a green light emanating from his head! Im utterly loyal to you, and you make me wear green?! Lin Hao!!! ... Meanwhile, in the corner, Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng revealed a meaningful smile. Love is a light, green so bright it unsettles you! Chapter 472 - 470: About to Close the Net [3rd Update] Chapter 472: Chapter 470: About to Close the Net [3rd Update]Lin Hao and Lin Tais dog-fight is not worth mentioning. Anyway, their quarrel doesnt benefit Lu Xiaobu, it only benefits Lin Feng. Lu Xiaobu just lets Lin Feng continue taking him on the rounds! And dont mention it, Lu Xiaobu really enjoyed the sights. Hehe, wont share the specifics with you! Anyway, it was quite an eye-opener! All sorts of positions! ... After resting for a while, it was dinner time. These people had been hungry all day, especially after a tough day, they couldnt resist anymore! One by one, they hurried out. Those with some skills just rubbed their earlier clothes a bit, aired them out, and then put them on. But many others just wore the clothes that got wet in the rain and had been piled up in a corner. Man, the smell was something else! Absolutely rancid! Of course, there were a few who disliked the smell and came out wearing fierce underpants, but only a few! After all, the fierceness was too much! However, their fierceness escalated when they saw the food. What do they usually eat! Even if not delicacies, it must be something luxurious like the Jade Plate specialties! And now? Kebabs? Pancake rolls? Spicy hotpot? And the only staple that can be mentioned is entirely made of spicy Sichuan dishes?! Are they out of their minds! Immediately, complaints arose. "What is this?!" "Can we even eat this?" "Are we here to travel or to reminisce the hard times?! Why is it all this stuff?!" "We havent solved the clothing problem, and now food has become an issue too?!" "Lu Xiaobu, what the hell are you trying to do?!" "This is simply making fun of us!" "This is too much!" "We strongly demand a change of food!" "..." Lu Xiaobu looked at the excited Lin Family people and scoffed, "Go away, all of you reek, dont hang around me!" With those words, their faces turned even greener. We reek because of the conditions, dont you know? And you have the nerve to complain about us?! Thats too much! "Oh, and one more thing, this is all the food there is, eat it or get lost!" Lu Xiaobu said again: "These delicious dishes, and you are still picky? If youre so capable, go fish for food yourself! Or else, jump in and swim back now!" His words were quite rude. No need for niceties with these people. Lin Feng, comfortably eating on the side, didnt say a word. During those days in Magic City, he got used to it and now hes enjoying his meal! And seeing these jerks struggle to eat makes it even more satisfying! Lu Xiaobu glanced at Lin Feng, a brief smile flickeredtime to reel them in! Lin Feng is enjoying his meal, but the Lin Familys faces turned yet greener! Damn it, is this a cruise or a pirate ship?! No food, no proper clothes! Are they treating us like refugees!? And Lin Feng, who didnt utter a word for them. Their anger intensified. But, they didnt dare directly vent. "If you dont eat, so be it! I want to see if you dare starve us!" "Exactly, if we get screwed by hunger, it wont look good on you!" "Lu Xiaobu, keep it up if you dare!" "Wed rather starve to death or jump off this, than touch this food!" "..." Their words were worthless to Lu Xiaobu. Dont want to eat? Then dont! Thats all there is on the ship. Want to smoke? Only herbal cigarettes! Want to drink? Only cheap liquor! If after this trip you dont turn over a new leaf, consider me defeated! Ive transformed Lin Feng, let alone you all?! A group of people angrily left for the sake of reputation. The remaining people, seeing this, could only follow the crowd. There was no choice; if they didnt leave, they would probably be isolated! Once they got back, they were in no mood for a big fight, and of course, they had no energy either. They could only lie in bed and numb themselves by playing on their phones! Oh, right, under Lu Xiaobus arrangement, Li Jin even treated a few people hanging outside to prevent them from dying. As for Lin Hao and Lin Tai, the two had been missing and it was unknown if they were dead or alive! Time passed quickly. Watching the sun set beyond the sea, Lu Xiaobu blissfully drifted into dreamland. He fell asleep. But the entire ship was filled with the sound of rumbling stomachs. So hungry! They hadnt eaten anything all day! When had these rich young masters ever experienced hunger? One by one, they couldnt sleep! Eventually, they all got up one by one. What for? To steal some food to eat. A large group of people tacitly came out of their rooms and sneaked toward the kitchen! They dared not make a noise, as they had spoken harshly during the day! Result! "Halt! The kitchen is closed at night!" Li Jin leaned against the kitchen door, half-squinting, and spoke softly. Hearing Li Jins words and seeing him in person. Suddenly, their faces couldnt look any worse. Caught stealing. And it was being caught stealing after having talked big during the day. How embarrassing and humiliating that must be. At once, those people, with a luck mindset, sneaked away. Yeah, you didnt see me, you didnt see me! But, returning to their rooms, they felt even hungrier! No choice, just clench their teeth and force themselves to sleep! ... The next day. Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Before dawn! Lu Xiaobu woke up early, lying on the cozy big bed, looking at the sea through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and felt very comfortable! The sea always gave a feeling of openness. At that moment. His room door was opened. It was Liang Lan, the hot pepper, Wu Qianmin, and Su Luoxue. Liang Lan and Su Luoxue seemed to have woken up early, already done with dressing up. Wu Qianmin, the lazy one, had washed up, but didnt dress up! As for the hot pepper, dont even mention it, she came wrapped in a blanket. Looking at her made Lu Xiaobu itch with curiosity about what she was wearing underneath! "What are you guys here for?" Lu Xiaobu asked while lying on the bed. "To watch the sunrise." The hot pepper, wrapped in a blanket and yawning, said, "Your room has the best view for sunrise on this whole ship." Lu Xiaobus room was the master bedroom, and as a private yacht, everything was considered from the masters perspective. So, truly, the view from the master bedroom was the best. The hot pepper spoke and felt overwhelmed with tiredness. Yeah, even sitting was tiring. So, she rolled in her blanket and lay down next to Lu Xiaobu on the bed. "Hmph!" Wu Qianmin, the little jealous one, let out a hum. The hot pepper was at it again. However, her cold hum was obviously ineffective on the hot pepper. But, the ineffective ones, had the effective ones. Liang Lan subtly stood up, brewed a cup of tea for Lu Xiaobu, and then naturally situated herself between Lu Xiaobu and the hot pepper. See, this was a more sophisticated way of jealous response. The hot pepper just pouted and didnt say anything. And amid this warm atmosphere, the sun began to slowly rise from the sea. A streak of sunlight poured through the glass, making the room atmosphere even warmer. Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but reveal a happy smile. So comfortable! Lying on the big bed of a cruise ship, surrounded by four beautiful women, watching the sunrise! How many people dream of this for their entire lives?! Chapter 473 - 471: Lin Feng Fell In [4th Update] Chapter 473: Chapter 471: Lin Feng Fell In [4th Update]After watching the sunrise, it was time for the exciting moment of having breakfast. Because its not suitable to have greasy food in the morning, skewers and spicy hot pot were skipped, leaving only pancake fruit and some Sichuan breakfast snacks. But when Lu Xiaobu arrived at the restaurant, he found out. The Lin Family members, who claimed they would rather jump off than eat, were all queuing up for the pancake fruit. Its worth mentioning that most of them were wearing boxer shorts! "Hey, smells so good." "Yes, boss, add some more green onions, and give me another egg!" "Boss, another one for me, Im starving!" "..." Amidst this chorus of delights, Lu Xiaobu arrived at the scene with a playful smile: "Hey, everyone is eating! Why didnt you jump down!" Trying to act cool with me? Keep acting! Still picky? Starve you for a day, then youll eat anything! Suddenly, the scene went silent, filled with awkwardness! That slap in the face, loud and clear! However, Lu Xiaobu, rarely, did not continue mocking them as it wasnt important anymore. More important and fun things were about to happen. Were almost at the uninhabited island! Seeing that Lu Xiaobu stopped mocking, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, they didnt know this might be their last hearty meal! Then Lin Feng arrived. "Whats next?" Lin Feng was in a good mood, feeling quite comfortable. His purpose for this trip had been completely fulfilled. Although Lu Xiaobu hadnt fully confronted the Lin Family, they were getting close. At the same time, with Lu Xiaobus help, he had gained control of some leverage over these flip-floppers. This leverage would play a crucial role later! So now, he looked at Lu Xiaobu with unexpected favor, feeling almost like they had gone from rivals to comrades! "Whats next? Head to the uninhabited island! You forgot, you said before you wanted to dump those guys on the island." Lu Xiaobu said quietly. "Oh yeah! Forgot, that works!" Lin Feng was somewhat airy, completely missing the subtle expression on Lu Xiaobus face! "When the time comes, lets all go down together and experience life." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily, facing the sea. He tried his best not to let Lin Feng see his face, to avoid exposure. "Good idea. Indeed, itll be fun." Lin Feng nodded in agreement. He had no idea that he was gradually falling into Lu Xiaobus trap. ... By mid-morning. The uninhabited island could already be seen. Lin Feng started to get the Lin Family members ready. Soon, the cruise ship stopped near the uninhabited island. Under Lin Fengs orders, the Lin Family members reluctantly boarded the small boat, heading for the island! Due to the small size of the boat, they had to transport in batches. Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu were at the very end! Soon, it was their turn. "After you." Lu Xiaobu jumped onto the boat first, picking a spot in the back. "Alright!" Lin Feng, in an exceptionally good mood, also jumped onto the boat and sat down. Even, he felt in the mood to tell Lu Xiaobu: "Wait and see, youll taste the grilled fish skills of someone I brought, absolutely top-notch!" Lu Xiaobu smiled and said nothing. The boat started. They quickly reached the side of the uninhabited island. Since Lin Fengs seat was closer to the front, he was the first to get off the boat. At the same time, he was saying, "By the way, there are no wild animals on this island, right?" However, Lin Feng did not get an answer. All he heard was a shout. "Start the boat!" It was Lu Xiaobus voice. "Whoosh!" In an instant, Lin Feng felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured from head to tail! His whole body broke out in cold sweat. A sense of ominous premonition enveloped his entire body. He hurriedly turned to look! Sure enough! Lu Xiaobu, that bastard, never got off the boat, he was still on it! And damn it, the boat had started moving! Speedily! "Damn it! Your granddad!" Lin Feng, seeing the retreating figure of Lu Xiaobu, was so angry that he almost jumped! He was freaking tricked! Damn it! That Lu Xiaobu actually left him alone on a deserted island, of course, along with that bunch of idiots! Damn you, Lu Xiaobu! You damn! "Ha ha ha ha ha!" Lu Xiaobu was now standing on the boat, hands on his waist, laughing heartily! "Lin Feng, you just stay there, Im nearby eating skewers and drinking beer watching you trying to survive on the island! Ha ha ha ha! Awesome!" Lu Xiaobu was absolutely thrilled! Using me? Calculating me? Setting me against the Lin Family? When did you think I wouldnt take revenge?! Satisfying! Truly freaking satisfying! "Lu! Xiaobu!" Lin Feng stood on the shore and let out a roaring yell. He was exploding with anger! Damn it! Shouldnt be so careless! How did he even get the illusion that Lu Xiaobu was a comrade-in-arms?! Look at this mess now! Damn it, got tricked! A deserted island, a bunch of trash, nothing at all? How to spend these few days!? Damn it! Lin Feng was so angry he didnt know what to do anymore. He kicked directly onto the beach! But damn, he kicked a rock. That pain when hitting your toes, have you ever felt it?! It hurts to death! At this moment, Lu Xiaobu was back on the boat! Lu Xiaobu on the boat, holding binoculars, saw this scene and slapped his thigh laughing: "Ha ha ha ha, satisfying! Awesome! Ha ha ha ha! What a white whale stunt!" While speaking, Lu Xiaobu actually picked up a can of beer and took a big gulp. Then, he took the megaphone handed to him by Zhang Meng and shouted: "Lin Feng, the beer tastes great! Awesome!" His voice reached the ears of Lin Feng, who was infuriated to the point of liver pain on the deserted island. "Ah!" Proud Lin Feng, finally showing his wild side, started to roar with all his body! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Got tricked! Tricked by Lu Xiaobu! This trap, Lu Xiaobu definitely set it up from the moment he boarded the boat! It was his fault, for getting too carried away! Yes, the usual lazy Lu Xiaobu. How could he possibly initiate a contest with him in the casino? And even set the rules voluntarily?! Even after winning, choosing a benefit that obviously was more advantageous to him than to Lu Xiaobu! He actually had this doubt at that time, but suppressed it! Because at the time, he couldnt afford to think about these things! Looking back now, at that time, Lu Xiaobu had already begun to set his plans. The results of that gamble were not important at all! sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu was simply satisfying his desire to compete. After satisfying this desire, he would give him benefits, the handles on those people! Then, step by step, to make his mentality take off! Finally, up until today, until now! Lu Xiaobu finally pulled in the net! And he, jumped right into it without any resistance! Lu! Xiaobu! Chapter 474 - 472 Are You Hungry? [5th Update] Chapter 474: Chapter 472 Are You Hungry? [5th Update]Seeing such a furious Lin Feng, the entire deserted island fell into an eerie silence. Even Lin Hao, who wanted to replace Lin Feng, dared not to speak at this moment. All members of the Lin Family present had never seen Lin Feng lose his composure and become so angry! Bear in mind, as the eldest son of the Lin Family, hiding his emotions was basic. But today?! The eldest son of the Lin Family was actually toyed with by Lu Xiaobu. Just a mere third-tier tycoon, though ranked first, was still considered insignificant by the Lin Family, Lu Xiaobu had made a fool out of him. And it was done so thoroughly! As if that wasnt enough. Lu Xiaobu even dared to stand unabashedly on the boat, mocking them! Drinking alcohol? Eating food? Even using a megaphone?! Lu Xiaobu, have you gone insane?! This was the kind of shock filling their hearts, to the point that they almost forgot their current predicament! They were on a deserted island with no water, no food, no shelter, no electricity. As they all were in shock, Housekeeper Jia was not faring any better! S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Damn, Lu Xiaobu, you are truly ruthless! That move was really vicious! Having followed Young Master Lin for so many years, this was the first time he had seen Young Master Lin lose his composure like this! Furthermore, Lu Xiaobu, you are way too bold! What is this behavior? This is like exiling all the young generations of the Lin Family! Looking at the whole world, how many dare to do such a thing?! Just on this point alone, you are indeed awesome! As for the few people remaining beside Lin Feng, even less needs to be said, each one was scared as quails, not daring to make a sound! Just like that, Lin Fengs anger alone managed to plunge the entire deserted island into silence! Such was the terrifying majesty of Lin Feng! But! No matter how terrifying he was, he couldnt stop the sound of Lu Xiaobus megaphone: "Hahaha, Lin Feng, do you want a beer? Oh right, you drink red wine, I have that too. I always thought red wine was nothing special, but why is it that when I see you like this, utterly humiliated, this red wine tastes so good?!" Listening to his words, the corners of the mouths of the Lin Family members on the deserted island twitched! Freaking hell, so damn low! And to bully in such a way! And the victim is none other than the great young master of the Lin Family, one of the four young masters of Imperial, Lin Feng! Arent you afraid that once Lin Feng gets back, hell kill you?! However! In the midst of this intense public indignation, the first to suppress his emotions turned out to be Lin Feng! Lin Feng clenched his teeth and managed to push down his surging anger! He could no longer afford to be swayed by his emotions. Although this was an ugly loss, the defeat was not unjustified! It also served as a wake-up call for him, falling into the hands of Lu Xiaobu was ultimately much better than being plotted against by others! Learn from your mistakes! Lesson learned! But! Lu Xiaobu, you just wait! One day, I will take back whats mine! "Housekeeper, arrange for food and shelter." Lin Feng, managing to bring his emotions under control, ordered. Seeing Lin Fengs emotions somewhat returned to normal, Housekeeper Jia finally took a breath of relief. Indeed, Young Master Lin is Young Master Lin, far stronger than those trash! Uh... well, except for Lu Xiaobu! However, despite his thoughts, some things had to be stated bluntly. So, he cautiously said, "Well, Young Master Lin, it is probably impossible to prepare for food and shelter." "Whats the matter? You two cant even survive in the wild?" Lin Feng frowned, the anger he had just suppressed was showing signs of resurgence. "I... really dont know how!" Housekeeper Jia carefully lifted his head. All the training he had received was to be a butler; he had never touched upon training for wilderness survival. "And what about you?!" Lin Fengs gaze skipped over the three maids and landed on the two bodyguards. "Young Master Lin, we dont know either!" The two bodyguards exchanged a look and gave a bitter laugh as they spoke. "Whew!" Lin Feng let out a long sigh, a tide of anger stirring in his heart, but he didnt rashly let it out! He knew why. These two bodyguards were hired to deal with Zhang Meng and Li Jin; they were from the Martial Arts Sect, not Special Soldiers! So, wilderness survival was not a compulsory course for them. Not knowing how was somewhat excusable! "If you dont know, then go figure it out!" Lin Feng ordered again! Not knowing was understandable, but that didnt mean they had to just sit around and be mocked by Lu Xiaobu! Even on this desolate island with nothing, he wanted to live well. To stand his ground against Lu Xiaobu! "Yes!" Housekeeper Jia immediately responded. Then he looked at the two bodyguards, "You two, one of you stay to protect Young Master Lin, the other come with me to figure out how to catch fish." Housekeeper Jias eyes landed on the three maids, "You three go look for any wild fruits or the like, and also gather some firewood on the way back. Lets first solve the problem of food!" "Yes!" Upon hearing Housekeeper Jias orderly arrangement, several people immediately responded. Thus, aside from one person staying to protect Lin Feng, all the others set off to carry out their tasks. Meanwhile, Lin Feng stood on the beach, gazing at Lu Xiaobu on the opposing boat. Lu Xiaobu sat on the boat, with Liang Lan on his left holding Lin Fengs favorite red wine, and Su Luoxue on his right holding Lin Fengs favorite cigar. Yes, just like what was said earlier, Lu Xiaobu actually didnt like these two things much. But now, watching Lin Fengs frustrating situation, he was enjoying his smoke and drink! Hahaha! Fantastic! No, he needed to keep provoking Lin Feng. Lu Xiaobu picked up the loudspeaker, "Lin Feng, see this? Cigar! Red wine! Fantastic! Theres even skewers! Meat, this is meat were talking about! You barely ate anything this morning, hungry now, right? The smell of this delicious meat!" Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words. The other Lin Family people on the island reacted first. Gurgle! A chorus of stomachs growling swept through the entire beach! "Damn it! Thats too malicious!" "Fuck! Lu Xiaobu, you and I will never coexist peacefully!" "Come down here if you dare!" "Fuck your grandpa! Youre inhumane!" "I didnt even get a full meal yesterday, only ate a bit in the morning, then you had us marooned on this deserted island, and now youre using meat to tempt us! Can you get any worse?!" "Lu Xiaobu! Ah!" "..." This really stirred up everyones emotions! Some pounded their fists against a tree in anger, only to howl in pain themselves! Others picked up stones wanting to throw them at Lu Xiaobu, but clearly, the distance was impossible! Even more extreme, some directly jumped into the sea in a delusional attempt to swim back. Well, they suffered the most, almost drowning! However, while their emotions were flaring, Lin Feng remained still as if he were a rock enduring the test of waves. The eldest young master of the Lin Family truly lived up to his reputation! But! If one looked closely, they would see his right hand was already bulging with veins! Clearly, his heart was not as calm as his appearance suggested! He was actually hungry, too! Chapter 475 - 473 Beach Symphony [First Update] Chapter 475: Chapter 473 Beach Symphony [First Update]Lin Feng stood on the sandy beach, gazing across the sea at Lu Xiaobu. Housekeeper Jia and the others were busy preparing food. However, although their initial plan had seemed solid, the actual execution was fraught with difficulties! Starting with fishing, they encountered a huge problem. Although Housekeeper Jia and the bodyguard displayed great endurance and resilience, the fish werent sympathetic enough to willingly jump into their mouths! So, they needed to catch them. What a struggle it was! Then, there were the maids collecting supplies, which was no easier. Firstly, the biggest issue was their shoes and clothes. Their footwear and clothing were not durable, and ill-suited for life in this environment. Thus, in no time, their garments became tattered and torn, revealing glimpses of flesh! Of course, no one was paying attention to them now. Even if the issues with the clothing were resolved, the difficulties continued. Apart from not knowing which foods were safe to eat, They were tormented even just by gathering twigs. After all, even they knew that starting a fire required dry twigs. But dry twigs were not so easily found! Thus, soon after, their delicate skins were covered with cuts and bruises, swollen and inflamed. But! On the flip side, despite the myriad challenges, they were making progress and seeing results. However, the people on the beach, who only knew how to vent their frustration at the distant Lu Xiaobu, made no progress. Time always flies when youre working hard. Soon, it was evening. A soaked Housekeeper Jia, exhausted, called everyone back to tally their findings. "How did it go?" Housekeeper Jia really wanted to just collapse on the ground, but he still managed to stand straight and ask, "We only caught two fish on our side." As he spoke, a hint of guilt appeared across Housekeeper Jias face. They were too incompetent; it sounded like just two fish, but those two combined might not even suffice for Young Master Lin. "On our side, we didnt find much food either, lots of things we werent sure we could eat, so we only dared to gather a bit of what we could identify." The maids also sighed, "However, we did manage to collect quite a lot of firewood." Housekeeper Jia, looking at the three scarred maids, couldnt muster up the heart to blame them, and could only sigh and say, "Alright, lets start a fire for Young Master Lin." Everyone responded, bringing their bundles of firewood not far from Lin Feng. Housekeeper Jia took out matches specially made for lighting cigars, normally no one else would dare use them. Now, obediently fulfilling the most basic duty of a match! Lighting the match. Slowly starting the fire. This task was not too difficult. Soon, a fire was kindled, bringing relief to the faces of those weary from a days labor. "Young Master Lin, the fire is ready, lets go over. Its getting cold at night." Housekeeper Jia approached Lin Feng and whispered. "Okay." Lin Feng nodded and walked towards the bonfire. For some reason, his mind was preoccupied with the thought of Lu Xiaobus hundredfold Iron Cavalry, who probably would thrive on this island. He shook his head, tossing aside other emotions. In a spot facing the sea, there was a stone with a garment spread on it. Clearly, this was Lin Fengs seat. Lin Feng looked at the garment, picked it up, and handed it to Housekeeper Jia: "Wear this. The night wind is strong, be careful not to catch cold, otherwise no one will be here to serve me tomorrow." He immediately recognized it as Housekeeper Jias clothing. "Young Master Lin!" Housekeeper Jia took the garment, suddenly feeling an overwhelming surge of emotion. Young Master Lin actually cared for him? He had served Young Master Lin half his life, and this was a first! Although he knew the thought wasnt right, he couldnt help but thinkperhaps Lu Xiaobu was indeed setting a trap for Young Master Lin, and it was the proper trap?! Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. No, no, he shouldnt be thinking this! And at that moment. "Whoosh!" A gust of sea breeze blew by, causing those from the Lin Family, who were already scantily clad, to shiver one after another. Only Lin Feng and those raising the bonfire were unaffected. Finally! The people from the Lin Family realized that it had gotten dark and they hadnt prepared anything! So, they panicked! "Hurry, hurry, come up with a way to start a fire!" "Exactly, what the hell are you all spacing out for?!" "If we dont start a fire, well freeze to death tonight!" "Fuck! Lu Xiaobu, let me go back!" "Your mom!" "..." This group of Young Master Lins, each of them ordering others around, but not a single one of them lifting a finger themselves. They were always used to commanding others; when had they ever done anything themselves?! Of course, those whose brains hadnt thawed yet were still cursing! Housekeeper Jia, hearing the commotion over there, shook his head with a wry smile, then turned to the maid and said, "Dont just stand there, hurry up and grill the fish for Young Master Lin!" "Yes!" the maid quickly nodded. The maid took the fish, started the preparations, and began grilling. As the fish turned over the fire, the natural aroma of the fish began to spread. Housekeeper Jia and the others couldnt help but swallow their saliva, their stomachs rumbling. They had no choice but to divert their eyes, out of sight out of mind! This was being prepared for Young Master Lin; they couldnt eat it. But, that made it hard for the maid grilling the fish. Others could look away, but she couldnt! Gradually, the fragrance drifted into everyone elses noses. Suddenly, the entire beach transformed into a symphony. "Sniff sniff!" This was the sound of sniffing the delightful scent. "Gulp!" This was the sound of involuntarily swallowing saliva. "Gurgle!" This was the sound of stomachs rumbling! "Rustle!" This was the sound of their feet involuntarily moving closer towards Lin Feng! "Achoo!" This goes without saying, this was the sound of someone catching a cold, sneezing! Countless noisy sounds filled the beach, turning the usually serene uninhabited island into a bustling scene. However, amidst this myriad of sounds and mixed thoughts, Lin Feng instead closed his eyes, pondering something. He was thinking about a question. Was this worth it, had he actually lost? Previously, his emotions led him astray, so he always thought Lu Xiaobu had tricked him, that he lost. But now, an unexpected answer emerged in his mind. He, it seemed, still won. Yes, Lu Xiaobu was torturing him, it was very satisfying, and he was very angry. But what was the cost to Lu Xiaobu? It was a path directly opposed to the Lin Family, where a single misstep could lead to total ruin, bankrupting and erasing his existence. Thinking it through, who really won and who lost? It seemed, he still won. Dont think this question is meaningless; the most direct benefit of this question is that it can make his life better these next few days! As he pondered, the fish was grilled and handed to him! He casually took it and took a bite. "Pfft!" Chapter 476 - 474: Thrilling Battle【2nd Update】 Chapter 476: Chapter 474: Thrilling Battle2nd UpdateLin Feng took the fish, took a bite, and immediately spat it out. "How can it be so disgusting!" Lin Feng rebuked. Hearing Lin Fengs rebuke, everyones face showed a look of guilt. "Well, Young Master Lin, we dont have anything, so..." The maids face filled with grievance and guilt. "Sigh! Never mind, its okay!" Lin Feng sighed and waved his hand. He then stood up, "Im going to find Lu Xiaobu." "Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin, what are you doing? You cant bow down to him!" Housekeeper Jia suddenly stood up. Whats going on with Young Master Lin? This isnt like him! "What are you thinking? Bow down? I am summoning him as a victor!" Lin Feng proudly smiled. He had figured it out! He knew what Lu Xiaobu wanted, and he knew what he too should want. "Lu Xiaobu!" Lin Feng stood by the seaside and shouted at the cruise ship: "I know you havent slept yet, come out!" Hearing Lin Fengs words, the people from the Lin Family muttered among themselves. "Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Feng cannot withstand it anymore?" "The great Lin Family has actually fallen into the hands of Lu Xiaobu, how embarrassing!" "Lin Feng is begging for mercy? How rare!" "But, will Lu Xiaobu wait for him? He probably has gone to sleep by now!" "I guess so!" "..." They and Housekeeper Jia initially thought the same, that Lin Feng was going to beg for mercy! They felt really unbalanced in their hearts, wondering why they could only tremble at the side while Lin Feng had fire, meat, and bodyguards. Damn it, the bodyguard is so bothersome, if only there was no bodyguard! Without the bodyguard, they might have had a chance to make their move! Therefore, to vent their resentment, they all hoped that Lu Xiaobu would ignore Lin Feng, letting Lin Feng embarrass himself properly! However. They were disappointed. Lu Xiaobu came out. "You really were waiting for me to respond!" Lin Feng took out his phone, dialed Lu Xiaobus number, and a look of triumph appeared on his face. "And you indeed didnt disappoint me." Lu Xiaobu sat on the ship, Liang Lan had draped a coat over him to prevent a chill. Suddenly, Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed: "Actually, I hoped you wouldnt respond!" "Yes, of course you hoped I wouldnt respond, because that would mean I cant even understand the most basic things, proving that Im just a fool with strength, completely manipulated by my emotions, and you could just manipulate me at will." Lin Feng smiled faintly, self-deprecating. "Speak, say whatever you need to say." Lu Xiaobu skipped over that topic, getting straight to the point. "No rush, lets talk a bit more." Lin Feng was surprisingly not in a hurry at the moment. Before, he was angry, but now having thought things through, he was actually excited. He even wasnt that hungry anymore! "I originally thought that you were setting a trap for me, satisfying my desire to win, giving me benefits, only to make me overconfident and then trap me on a deserted island." Lin Feng leisurely paced on the spot. "But actually, my thinking was wrong. While this is one of your goals, the deeper purpose is far from being so simple. I am right, arent I?" Lin Fengs lips curled into a smile. "Continue." Lu Xiaobu remained non-committal. "This contest, actually from the moment you began dealing with the Lin Family after boarding the ship, the victor has always been me, it has never changed, your so-called victory is just an illusion." Lin Feng said with a pleased smile, "Because, making you confront the Lin Family is my ultimate goal, and also what you least want." "Just for this reason, I can declare my victory!" "Oh, of course, you can choose to fight to the death, that is your right, and you are capable, but do you want to? just like I dont want to, you also dont want to!" Lin Fengs happiness grew as he spoke. Lu Xiaobu listened to Lin Fengs analysis, still not speaking, but sipping his beer slowly. "You need time, although you are destined to confront the Lin Family, you havent grown strong enough yet, so, you need me to provide you protection, to be your shield." Lin Feng smiled smugly, "That is your ultimate goal, isnt it?" "Right." Lu Xiaobu rarely affirmed Lin Fengs words. "Based on this purpose, you took me to check the rooms, letting me obtain so many handles. Initially, I thought these handles were for me, but now it seems, they were just for me to work for you, using these handles to buy you time!" Lin Feng narrowed his eyes as he said this. The feeling of being calculated was not pleasant! "I said it before, mutually beneficial." Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows. "Correct, mutually beneficial, whether its the bigger picture or the smaller details, its mutually beneficial!" Lin Feng affirmed, "Lets continue, your leaving me on this uninhabited island is just to force me to make a decision because if I dont decide now, once we return to the mainland, you wont be able to control me anymore!" At this point, it naturally brought to mind the initial conversation he had with Lu Xiaobu. Back then, Lu Xiaobu forced him to make a decision through a fight-to-the-death tactic, and he chose to defer. It was that act of deferral that led Lu Xiaobu to start planning all of this! "You want me to make a decision, Ill make you make a decision, quite normal." Lu Xiaobu burped, "Are you done babbling? If so, make a decision." "Alright!" Lin Feng stated emphatically. He felt very satisfied, truly satisfied! This was a real confrontation, a real showdown! One ring wraps another, one layer over another. Dont think this is just a war of strategies, wrong! This is a war of life and death, any slightest mistake in this duel, and lives could be lost. Just like, remember what Lu Xiaobu just said, he actually didnt hope he would respond, right? Exactly that. If Lin Feng didnt respond today, then he wouldnt be worthy of being Lu Xiaobus opponent. Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Feng would die on this uninhabited island. After all, if he were Lu Xiaobu, he would do the same. Kill him, use those handles to control the Lin Family members, engage Lin Hao, let Lin Hao take the fall, and let the name Lin Feng silently disappear. Thus avoiding all influence! A plan nearly perfect! But, he had clarified it. Lu Xiaobu, you are my opponent, and I, am also your opponent, I wont be so foolish! "I agree to buy you time, as long as I can, to the best of my ability!" Lin Feng gave Lu Xiaobu the answer he wanted. "Beautiful choice." Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows, feeling pleased! With Lin Feng having so many young Lin Family members handles, buying time would be quite easy! "But!" Lin Feng spoke again. "Speak." Lu Xiaobu wasnt surprised at all, it would be strange if Lin Feng didnt take advantage of the situation! "You come down, just like me, without any materials, lets live together on the uninhabited island for two days." Lin Feng set the condition. In terms of strategic big picture, its a draw! In smaller tactics, he also didnt want to lose! At least aim for a draw! Chapter 477 - 475: Seizing the Boat [3rd update, bonus - for Li Lei’s 10,000 reward] Chapter 477: Chapter 475: Seizing the Boat [3rd update, bonus Chapter for Li Leis 10,000 reward]"Okay, Ive been wanting to give it a try anyway." Lu Xiaobus ready agreement. "A deal is a deal." Lin Feng hung up the phone with a smile and turned back to the bonfire. On his way back, he couldnt help but cast a glance at that bunch of morons. Compared with Lu Xiaobu, who could plot against me and the entire Lin Family, you guys are truly trash! However, at the same time, a trace of worry rose in his heart. His original intention was to use Lu Xiaobus strength to break free from the familys control, and even better, to reverse the situation and control the family. But now, he started to feel like keeping Lu Xiaobu was like raising a tiger, posing a potential problem. If we raise Lu Xiaobu, who will end up winning and who will lose in the end! It seems he also needs to start building his own force. On the boat. Lu Xiaobu stood up: "Lets go, head to the island. Li Jin, you stay on the boat, keep watch, and wait for my command." "Yes!" Li Jin answered. Yet deep down, he couldnt help feeling a bit aggrieved. It was him who was left behind again! Except for Li Jin, the others boarded the rubber dinghy with Lu Xiaobu and set off for the uninhabited island! The reason for choosing the rubber dinghy was to avoid disputes over the boat when they arrived at the island! Lu Xiaobu and his group slowly rowed towards the uninhabited island! This scene completely stunned the Lin Family. "Lu Xiaobu is coming?" "Whats he up to? Taking us back?" "No, thats not it. If he were picking us up, why would he come in a dinghy?" "What on earth is Lu Xiaobu planning?!" "..." Amidst their confusion, Lin Haos eyes narrowed. Opportunity! He quietly waved to his two Assassin Bodyguards and whispered, "As soon as night falls, when Lu Xiaobu lands, seize the dinghy!" "If we can grab the dinghy, well be able to get back on the ship. Then, the life and death of everyone here will be in our hands!" Murderous intent boiled in Lin Haos eyes. Lu Xiaobu, this is you asking for death! Dont blame me then! At the same time, his gaze shifted to Lin Tai by his side. You too, kid, stirring up trouble with me? Ill find a way to have your woman on the ship, right in front of you! Lets see what you can do then! It must be said, people are truly diverse! While Lin Feng busies himself setting the chessboard with Lu Xiaobu, deciding the fate of the Lin Family and themselves, Lin Hao is preoccupied with scheming to seize the boat, wanting to control others. And then there are those Lin Family members who are trying by all means to warm themselves by the fire, looking to fill their bellies. Of course, the most useless ones are those who are still whining and cursing, the real wastes of space! "Yes!" The two Assassin Bodyguards immediately responded. A murderous glint shone in their eyes as they stealthily positioned themselves. Like two hunting leopards, ready to pounce and sever their preys throat at the first opportunity! Soon. Lu Xiaobus dinghy was approaching the shore. "Young Master, its about time." Zhang Meng calculated the distance and said to Lu Xiaobu. "Alright, make your move." Lu Xiaobu nodded. "Yes!" In the meantime, Zhang Meng pulled out a dagger and cut a modest hole in the dinghy. The dinghy immediately began to deflate. But it could still move forward. Finally. They reached the shore. Lu Xiaobu and his group disembarked and walked toward Lin Feng. And then! "Whoosh!" In a cloud of dust, Lin Haos two Assassin Bodyguards burst out from the corner with lightning speed. Before anyone could react, they took possession of Lu Xiaobus dinghy. Meanwhile, Lin Hao who had long been prepared and had intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to the seaside was also among the first to board the dinghy! "Move out!" Lin Hao hadnt even steadied himself but already issued the order immediately! "Yes!" The two bodyguards started working right away! The dinghy quickly left the shore. The Lin Family people stranded on the uninhabited island were all dumbfounded. "What the fuck! Hijacking the boat?! Why didnt I think of that!" "Damn! That was too fast!" "Am I an idiot? If I knew earlier, I wouldve hijacked the boat too, then I could have returned to the cruise ship!" "..." Some regretted their inaction, others were excited! "Hao bro, Hao bro, wait for me!" "Yeah, lets go together!" "Dont be stupid, theres no waiting, Hao bro, remember to come back and pick us up!" "..." These were all Lin Haos people. But Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng were indifferent. Lu Xiaobu knew the outcome and naturally didnt care. Lin Feng knew that Lu Xiaobu would definitely not let the boat be taken so easily, so he was also indifferent! But Lin Hao didnt see it that way! He thought Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu were definitely scared! So, standing on the dinghy, he laughed out loud: "Lin Feng? Lu Xiaobu? You two are just trash! Now see whos the boss?!" "Once I get on that ship, youre both dead meat!" Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Especially Lu Xiaobu, you were pretty arrogant before! But what about now? Turned into a fucking idiot, right? Now its my turn to be arrogant!" "And that Lin Tai, how about I mess with your woman, hm? Tell you what, what can you do to me?!" "If later on you dont obediently let your woman keep me company, Ill make sure you die here!" Lin Hao was boasting outrageously, insanely arrogant! He even felt like he was a God! The God of this place! Whoever he wants dead, must die! Lin Feng? Lu Xiaobu? All trash! But at this moment! "Uhm, Hao bro, the dinghy, its broken!" An Assassin Bodyguard swallowed nervously and said to Lin Hao. "What?!" This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over Lin Haos head! The dinghy is broken?! Broken?! What the hell is this nonsense?! "How long can it hold up?! Can we make it to the ship?!" Lin Hao asked with a stroke of luck. "No way!" The Assassin Bodyguards face showed bitterness, "Not to mention making it to the ship, its starting to sink right now!" "IGod damn it!" Lin Hao looked down at the sinking dinghy and his face turned pale as a ghost. Suddenly, he said, "What if you two jump off? Can just I alone make it over?" See how heartless and ungrateful this Lin Hao can be! This isnt even a life-or-death moment, and hes already choosing to ditch his henchmen first thing. The two Assassin Bodyguards felt a chill upon hearing this, but they didnt show it and simply told the truth: "Its still impossible!" "Then what if we sink, and swim over?" Lin Hao was still struggling. "Hao bro, take a look for yourself, will it work?" The Assassin Bodyguard pointed at the cruise ship with a hint of speechlessness. "So, were just waiting to die?!" Lin Hao was furious! "Unless we swim back to the uninhabited island!" The Assassin Bodyguard said with a bitter smile, "Clearly, this has been calculated by professionals, perfectly trapping us with distance and timing! Leaving us with only this one option!" "Fuck!" Lin Hao roared. But the next second, his roar stopped. Because, it sank! He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to blindly choose to swim back to the uninhabited island! Poor kid, he was bragging just a moment ago, and now hes coming back! Chapter 478 - 476: Lu Xiaobu’s Bad Idea [4th Update for Mr. Wutong’s Generous Reward] Chapter 478: Chapter 476: Lu Xiaobus Bad Idea [4th Update for Mr. Wutongs Generous Reward]Lin Hao was swimming back. Zhang Meng took the opportunity to start a bonfire next to Lin Fengs fire. For someone born into the ranks of Special Soldiers, this kind of skill was a piece of cake. Thus, he alone was many times faster than Lin Fengs team working together! The sight made Lin Fengs people both embarrassed and envious! "What do you think Lin Tai will do to him?" While enjoying the fish that he originally found distasteful, Lin Feng asked Lu Xiaobu with a chuckle. It was unclear whether his good mood was because he saw Lin Hao about to suffer misfortune, or because he had just clearly analyzed Lu Xiaobus motives. Either way, he now found everything delicious. "Lin Tai? Does he dare?" Lu Xiaobu sneered: "Dont forget, Lin Hao has bodyguards." "Thats true." Lin Feng shrugged: "So, should we make a move?" He remembered that the kid had just insulted both of them. "No, you make a move, Ill rest." Lu Xiaobu gestured with his hand. "Are you making me work for you again?!" Lin Fengs eyes narrowed, and he stopped eating. "Yeah." Lu Xiaobu unabashedly admitted: "After all, I dont need to establish my prestige or win peoples hearts in front of the Lin Family. If you can, then dont make a move." "You!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth in anger at Lu Xiaobu. The fish that tasted good just a moment ago once again became unbearably terrible. But, anger aside, he had to admit that what Lu Xiaobu said was true. "Go! You two teach him a lesson!" Lin Feng waved to his two bodyguards: "Dont kill him, just leave him alive for now!" "Yes!" The two bodyguards responded. Lin Feng had never taken Lin Haos bodyguards seriously. His bodyguards were Martial Artists, chosen to confront the likes of Zhang Meng and Li Jin. And Lin Hao thought that hiring a couple of Assassins could keep him safe. At this moment. "Wait, theres no need to fight, just prevent those three from coming ashore. If they come up, kick them back down. Let them come up later in the night!" Lu Xiaobu suggested. "Uh..." The two Martial Artist Bodyguards mouths twitched. This move was rather ruthless! Staying in the water would drain their energy. Especially since these people hadnt eaten anything, making them soak in the water for half the night was just too cruel! As for letting them come ashore in the latter part of the night, that was even more brutal! Emerging soaking wet, they would likely freeze to death! Both bodyguards looked at Lin Feng. "Just do as he says! When it comes to screwing with people, hes a genius!" Lin Feng rarely gave Lu Xiaobu such high praise. That showed how much he appreciated this method! "Yes!" The two Martial Artist Bodyguards went to carry out the order! Starving and as exhausted as dogs, Lin Hao and his two companions swam back to the shore. Just as they wanted to catch their breath onshore. "Bang!" Each of them received a kick to the chest. They were sent flying back into the water. "Splash!" Lin Hao choked on the water and spat out a mouthful as he surfaced from beneath the water. "What the hell are you trying to do?! Looking for death?!" Lin Hao was immediately furious. "Its not us looking for death, its you whos courting it!" A Martial Artist Bodyguard sneered: "Just stay in the water!" "You motherf!" Lin Hao refused to believe his bad luck and attempted to walk ashore again. "Bang!" He fell into the water again! "Splash! Cough cough cough cough!" He choked again! "Damn it!" Lin Hao was hungry, tired, cold, and furious! His whole being exploded in rage! "What the hell are you two doing!? Why arent you taking action!? Kill them!" Lin Hao roared. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The two Assassin Bodyguards glanced at each other and let out a wry smile: "Brother Hao, thats unrealistic. They are on the shore, and we are in the water, theyve rested and gathered strength while were panting with exhaustion. How are we supposed to fight?!" "F*ck! You two are just a couple of useless pieces of trash! What am I paying you for, to come here and eat sh*t?! How did I end up with you two mongrels!" Lin Haos reasoning was completely incinerated by his anger! He was speaking without any restraint. The two assassins expressions immediately turned icy cold! They took money for their services, but that didnt mean they were anyones dogs! A time or two might have been forgivable, but they couldnt keep tolerating being incapable of assessing the situation and only shifting the blame! They had had enough! The two exchanged a glance, a hint of cold light shining in their eyes. Sticking with such a man, sooner or later, they would be used as human shields! A killing intent began to boil within them! Had it not been for the fact that they were isolated and helpless on this deserted island, they would have taken action long ago! Lin Hao, who lost his reasoning, hadnt noticed their killing intent, he just kept rambling on: "F*cking useless, idiots, imbeciles..." Meanwhile, Lin Feng on the shore had keenly noticed this scene and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that this time, not only had he planted a thorn, but he could also insert two knives! Lu Xiaobus move was really not bad! ... Lets leave Lin Hao aside for now. Lets shift our viewpoint back to the campfire. At this moment, Zhang Meng had returned with fish. And, unlike the pathetic scene with Lin Fengs group who had six people sharing two fish, He had brought back eight big, fat fish. Right, and a big pile of clams and the like as side dishes! "Clean these, Ill grill them when I come back, Im going to pick some fruits for the Young Master." Zhang Meng said, placing the fish next to Liang Lan and the others. "Okay, go ahead, but dont go too far. Li Jin is on the boat, and its not absolutely safe for the Young Master here." Liang Lan nodded and instructed. "Sure, Ive got it." Zhang Meng nodded. These were basic precautions. But in fact, he felt quite at ease since the Young Master was not the fragile-looking type. If it really came down to a fight, he and Li Jin would have to step aside! Zhang Meng left. Liang Lan picked up a fish and started to clean it. Although not very skilled, she managed! The three women were all helping out. The sight of these lively big fish lying there made Lin Fengs group drool with envy! Damn, such a huge disparity! They toiled all afternoon for just two little fish, not even enough for Young Master Lin alone. But look at these people, in no time at all. Crackling sounds of eight big fish being cleaned, even going to pick fruits? Just with these fish, they could probably eat until their bellies were round! Comparing people can be so infuriating! Oh, its not only infuriating, but also starving! Housekeeper Jia and the others were like that, it showed just what kind of bastards the Lin Family were! They were all frantically swallowing saliva! "Gulp! Is that fish?" "Such big fish, they must be delicious!" "Gurgle!" "Oh, my stomach! Im so hungry it hurts!" "Right, are these fruits edible? Let me try, puh! Why is it so bitter!?" "..." When everyone was hungry, it was okay, since everyone was more or less the same, and Lin Feng didnt eat much either! But now, it was different! Lu Xiaobu was enjoying delicious food and drinks. And so, their hunger grew even more! Their eyes almost turned green with envy. And at this moment, Lu Xiaobu showed a mischievous smile, perhaps he could play a little game?! Chapter 479 - 477: Of course... not giving [5th update in tribute to Mr. Shudong’s generous reward] Chapter 479: Chapter 477: Of course... not giving [5th update in tribute to Mr. Shudongs generous reward]Just like before, Zhang Meng didnt go far and was nearby gathering food. So the things he brought back werent much, but they were enough for a dessert after a meal. "Here, let me do it. You guys wash these." Zhang Meng placed the fruits on the ground, then took the fish from Liang Lans hands and started to gut them! This speed, clearly sets the standard! Watching him work made Housekeeper Jia and the others break out in a cold sweat! And seeing the increasingly lavish dinner at Lu Xiaobus side, the other islanders were even hungrier! Their eyes were practically glowing green with hunger! They regretted! Regretted so much that their intestines turned green! If they had known it would be like this, they wouldnt have cared about losing face last night. Whats wrong with kebabs? Whats wrong with spicy hot pot? Whats wrong with pancake wraps? Whats wrong with Szechuan cuisine? Anythings better than starving! Now look at them, wanting to eat but not being able to! They truly had the urge to snatch the food, but they really didnt have the strength to do so! Starving! All they could do was to turn a blind eye and quietly hope for this hellish trip to end quickly! Even Lin Feng was grinding his teeth in frustration. Motherf*cker, the original plan was to make Lu Xiaobu suffer with him. How come the guys still having a blast?! What the hell is this?! Damn it! Now! "Are you guys hungry?" Lu Xiaobu asked with a wicked smile. Nobody paid any attention to him! Nonsense! Youre asking if were hungry! "Do you want to eat?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. Still, nobody paid him any mind. "I can give you something to eat," said Lu Xiaobu. "Whoosh!" In an instant! Everyone sprang up as if there were springs under their feet, their eyes glowing green as they stared at Lu Xiaobu. "Are you serious?!" "Really let us eat?!" "Are you sure youre not just giving us leftovers?!" "..." Watching their skeptical gazes, Lu Xiaobu leisurely affirmed: "Of course..." Their eyes immediately lit up. Words of praise flowed like a tide. "Young Master Lu is awesome! Young Master Lu is dominant and powerful!" "Young Master Lu is the greatest good guy in the world!" "Young Master Lu, how can you be so handsome?!" "..." For a bite to eat, they were going all out! And then. Lu Xiaobus latter half of the sentence finally came out: "Not giving!" "Pfft!" Hearing this latter half. These people were so angered they could spit blood for three kilometers! Lu Xiaobu, you scoundrel, f*ck your ancestor! Youre doing this on purpose! If we had the strength to fight you now, we would gang up on you and beat you to death! Are you freaking out, huh?! Just wait until we get back! Were not squabbling with you now; well settle the score after autumn! Their elation and anger didnt affect Lin Feng, who was just silently chewing on the unpalatable fish and forcefully swallowing it down! Hes not one of those sycophantic dogs who are loyal to anyone who feeds them! A mistake was a mistake, he admitted it, but he will absolutely not beg for food! "Ha ha ha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily, finding it amusing to tease these people. At this moment, Housekeeper Jia suddenly gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked over to Lu Xiaobus side. He couldnt take it anymore. He couldnt bear to see Young Master Lin go hungry! So, he decided to put his old face on the line and beg Young Master Lu! This is what he asked for, not what Young Master Lin asked for! Lin Fengs complexion immediately turned grim, and he was about to speak. But just at that moment. "Shut up! Go back and think it through before you talk. You must be so hungry your brain isnt working right!" Lu Xiaobu, however, with a somber face, preemptively rebuked him. With these words. Housekeeper Jias pupils dilated instantly, his whole body felt like it had been drenched with a bucket of cold water from the sky, chilling to the core, which also brought him back to his senses. Instantly, his back was soaked with sweat! He had nearly made a grave mistake. Indeed, he belonged to Young Master Lin; whether or not Young Master Lin had asked, he shouldnt have begged Young Master Lu. Otherwise, it would mean putting Young Master Lin below Young Master Lu! Could Young Master Lin tolerate that?! And even if he did ask, would Young Master Lu give them food? No! If he did, it would simply be an outright charity to Young Master Lin! Could Young Master Lin stand for that?! Even less so! Assuming Young Master Lu did provide food, would Young Master Lin eat it? Probably instead of eating, killing someone might be what Young Master Lin wanted to do! He really was confused by hunger. He might have put both Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng in a no-win situation. Therefore, he looked gratefully at Lu Xiaobu, then sat back down, with a face full of shame, not daring to speak. Lin Feng sighed and did not continue to dwell on this matter. Lu Xiaobu was indeed true to himself; if he had spoken out earlier, the situation would have escalated. Housekeeper Jia had followed him for many years; he did not want to dismiss Housekeeper Jia over this matter. Forget it, Lu Xiaobu, Ill give you a little bit of gratitude! To make Lin Feng, who would never bow his head even if the sky fell, feel grateful to Lu Xiaobu if Lu Xiaobu knew, hed be over the moon! On Lu Xiaobus side, they were feasting like kings, while the others were so hungry they were seeing stars! Time moved on to late at night. It was time to sleep. Zhang Meng extinguished the fire, then started another one nearby. "Young Master, you sleep here, its warm." Zhang Meng laid out some cleaned dry grass where he had just started a fire, for Lu Xiaobu. The ground, warmed by the fire, was the best spot for sleeping. "Okay." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Housekeeper Jia saw this, and his eyes lit up. He quickly got up and imitated the action, creating a warm bed for Lin Feng. Lin Feng, too, didnt say much, just lay down on it. He cared about his face, but it wasnt about being stubbornly proud. Now this was a skill learned from Housekeeper Jia, not charity from someone else, why not use it! A night without words. They slept until dawn. The only difference was, Lu Xiaobu and his companions slept comfortably, while the rest were hungry and cold. However, the situation today was obviously much better than yesterday. Many people early in the morning, or even last night, started to imitate what Zhang Meng did last night, searching for clams to eat. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although it wasnt enough to fill them, at least it was something to eat, and that was not bad. But clams were, after all, limited. So, by the time Lu Xiaobu and his companions woke up, they had already been cleaned out! "Zhang Meng, what are you doing?" Lu Xiaobu asked curiously, looking at Zhang Meng squatting to one side. "Im preparing breakfast." Zhang Meng grinned. The skill of jungle survival had already been ingrained in him. Although perhaps not as delicious as what a professional chef could make, it certainly had a unique flavor. "What goodies?" Lu Xiaobu walked over to take a look, then chuckled: "Eggs? And bird meat?" "Yeah, this bird tastes quite good." Zhang Meng nodded and continued with his work. At this time, Lin Feng also woke up; in fact, he had only dozed off for a bit in the early morning and had hardly slept. And then Housekeeper Jia came running back with a bodyguard, his whole body dirty and his clothes ragged, yet his face was elated: "Young Master Lin, Ive found something to eat." Yes, he learned it from Zhang Meng, raiding for birds eggs! However, he was older, less dexterous, and didnt manage to get many, mainly the bodyguard did! Of course, he knew that they intentionally taught him; otherwise, Zhang Meng would definitely have a million ways to keep him in the dark! And just as everyone was fairly happy. Suddenly, a ship came sailing from afar, flying a flaga skull and crossbones! Pirates?! Chapter 480 - 478: It Seems There are Ghosts [First Update] Chapter 480: Chapter 478: It Seems There are Ghosts [First Update]At the moment Lu Xiaobu saw the Skull Flag, Li Jin immediately called him and reported the situation: "Young Master, there are pirates, do you want me to come down and pick you up back to the ship?" "You guard the ship, no need to come down." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "There isnt enough time for everyone to get on the ship, it might even trigger a scramble for the ship, and if another crazed person wants to go down together in despair, that would be worthless!" "Yes, Young Master, I will think of ways to intercept them and protect your safety here!" Li Jin expressed understanding and hung up the phone. Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone, frowning, and looked at Lin Feng: "Im not very familiar with sea affairs, are there pirates in this area?" "No, there shouldnt be, this sea area is not suitable for ambushes, typically where there are many pirates, it must at least be a sea area thats hard to escape from, at the very least an area with many islands." Lin Feng frowned, shook his head, then looked around and said: "But here, the sea is calm, anyone can fully power their engines and escape! Have the pirates gone crazy to rob a ship here?" "Then there must be a rat among us!" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed, looking toward the extremely panicked Lin Family members. sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "There must be a rat!" A cold smirk appeared on the corner of Lin Fengs mouth. As said before, this sea area is very easy to escape from, but what about the pirate ship? They actually dare to openly hang the pirate flag. It seems they are not at all worried about them escaping. What does this imply? It indicates that the pirates are certain that they do not have the capability to escape. So, one answer becomes apparent. Theres an insider here! "It seems, these people havent been regulated enough." Lu Xiaobu stood up and stretched. "I will give you an explanation for this matter." A cruel expression appeared in Lin Fengs eyes. Since he brought the people here, he cant shirk responsibility for what happened! "Then Ill leave it to you, lets first deal with the pirate matter now." Lu Xiaobu looked at the fast-approaching pirate ship, stroking his chin and pondering! The insider matter is Lin Fengs responsibility, so naturally, dealing with the pirate ship is his responsibility. After all, he is the owner of this ship. Lu Xiaobu was thinking, Lin Feng was also thinking. He knew what weapons were on board; they only had things like Fire Extinguishing Water Dragons, no heavy weapons. In terms of combat power... Lin Feng looked at the Lin Family members, shook his head, a bunch of burdens! The only usable fighting force was Lu Xiaobus bodyguards and his bodyguards. However, his bodyguards were not strong in water battles. Zhang Meng might be able to, being a Special Soldier instructor, all these were mandatory courses. But, Zhang Meng could not take action. After all, Lu Xiaobu currently has only one bodyguard on the island. If Zhang Meng took action, it would put Lu Xiaobu in a dangerous situation, which was not practical! After all, for Zhang Meng, adding up all the Lin Family members including Lin Feng, none were as important as Lu Xiaobu alone! For a moment, Lin Fengs brow deeply furrowed. Fully-armed pirates versus them who have negative combat strength! Dead end?! Both of them were thinking of strategies. Meanwhile, the emotions of the Lin Family, already close to breaking down, worsened at the sight of the pirate ship! "Oh my god! Why do we encounter everything?!" "Lu Xiaobu! Fuck your grandpa! This trip, all your doing!" "Havent even had enough to eat, why would we encounter pirates?" "Lu Xiaobu, what are you standing around for? Why dont you have the ship come pick us up! Let me on the ship!" "Dont you have bodyguards?! Let them go!" "I tell you, if anything happens, you cant escape responsibility!" "You are the principal culprit!" "..." Sometimes, the difference is really big, Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng were thinking about how to break the deadlock and counterattack, while they were thinking about cursing, blaming, even begging! The pirate ship sped fast. By now, you could see those pirates on the ship shouting and brandishing their weapons chaotically. They were demonstrating! Zhang Meng said from the side: "Young Master, the usual tactic of these pirates is that, when they get close, they will drop around four motorboats, then two boats threaten and demonstrate while the other two boats board." "That means, they wont come directly with the big ship then." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin. "Yes." Zhang Meng nodded: "This is to avoid suicide attacks and the emergence of heavy weapons, this way, even if they encounter heavy weapons, their loss isnt big!" "This is now the basic attack mode of pirates worldwide!" "Also, according to analysis of the situation, the enemy is likely not just after money, they are probably targeting Young Master Lin." Hearing Zhang Mengs words, Lin Feng also nodded in agreement. Yes, if the previous analysis was correct, then compared to Lu Xiaobu, he is more likely to be targeted. And Housekeeper Jia suddenly became nervous. He had a fear in his heart, would Young Master Lu use the pirates against Young Master Lin?! He couldnt dismiss this suspicion. After all, the relationship between Young Master Lu and Young Master Lin was not that of close friends. If there was a chance to put the other in a deadly situation, neither would let it pass! "Relax, its fine! In the current state, he wont move against me, we are still partners for now." Lin Feng spoke out. It was both to reassure Housekeeper Jia and to remind Lu Xiaobu. If he died, after returning to the country, Lu Xiaobu wouldnt have it easy either! Its just a matter of sooner or later. He believed that Lu Xiaobu wouldnt do such a foolish thing! Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and ignored Lin Feng but continued watching Zhang Meng: "So what you just said, to reverse it, means that if they encounter heavy weapons, they will retreat?" "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng nodded: "Once they encounter heavy weapons and face the risk of heavy casualties, they will choose to retreat. After all, they are pirates, not suicide bombers!" "I understand." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Continue cooking breakfast. Tell Li Jin to guard the ship well, not letting pirates board is the top priority. Protecting himself is the first duty!" "Yes, Young Master!" Zhang Meng nodded. Although he didnt know what the Young Master was planning, he trusted him. As for the cruise ship, he wasnt worried. Even though the ship has no weapons, Li Jins remote attacks are no weaker than bullets! He made the call, arranged everything, and then continued squatting down to cook breakfast. Of course, it was necessary to remain vigilant. And just when the pirates were about to get close. When everyone was shouting in despair. Lu Xiaobu was still waiting for his breakfast! Chapter 481 - 479: Seizing the Ship [Second Update] Chapter 481: Chapter 479: Seizing the Ship [Second Update]Lin Feng frowned as he looked at Lu Xiaobus carefree demeanor. But he said nothing. Eventually, he even sat down: "Housekeeper, make breakfast then! If Lu Xiaobu is not in a hurry, then theres no need for us to rush either!" "Alright then!" Housekeeper Jia agreed through gritted teeth. He was already prepared to meet his death. If it came to it, hed die alongside Young Master Lin! As the pirates got closer. Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng seemed to enjoy their meal more and more. This scene instantly infuriated the Lin Family members! "Feng, what are you guys doing?!" "Lin Feng, Lu Xiaobu, have you lost your minds? Or are you having your last breakfast?!" "Do you think this is inside the country? That nobody dares to touch you?!" "This is abroad, the opposition are ruthless pirates!" "Did you get scared out of your wits?!" "..." People were saying all sorts of things, such variety of life! And Lin Hao, who had been freezing in the water for half the night and was still shivering, revealed a hint of a cold gleam in his half-conscious state. It seemed this pirate incident couldnt be separated from him! Finally! The pirates approached. Just as Zhang Meng had mentioned before, they stopped their large ship at a distance and deployed smaller boats. However, the only difference was, there were not four, but six speedboats! Two circled around patrolling, shouting and firing their guns to intimidate! Their actions were extremely exaggerated; standing on the boats, continuously firing into the sky, even provocatively gesturing a throat-slitting motion towards those on the island. Utterly arrogant! The other four speedboats split into two groups, one heading for the cruise ship, obviously aiming to hijack it! The last two headed toward the uninhabited island. This scene further confirmed the previous suspicions of Lu Xiaobu and Lin Fengthere was an internal traitor! Clearly, the opposition knew too much! On the two speedboats heading for the uninhabited island, each carried three people, six fully armed individuals in total. They used the dark muzzles of their guns to sweep back and forth over the people on the island continually. Even threateningly pretending to pull the trigger, signaling a threat! Watching this, those of the Lin Family were scared witless. "Dont, dont kill me!" "Ill give you money, I have money!" "Youre just after money, right?! Well give you money!" "..." And here they hadnt even landed yet, but the hijacking of the cruise ship had already begun. On the ship, Li Jin and the experienced crew had tied a circle of gasoline barrels to the exterior railings of the cruise ship. The cylindrical gasoline barrels could obstruct the pirates from boarding with their Flying Claws, creating difficulty for them if they attempted to come aboard and even serve as a weapon to throw down at them! As for ladders and the like, they were dismantled long ago! "People on the ship, listen up, surrender obediently and dont resist in vain!" The pirates threatened: "Our bullets do not have eyes!" It seemed these pirates were really well-prepared; they even had those who spoke Mandarin! However, threats aside, those who needed to board would still attempt to board! The two speedboats stopped, one on the left and the other on the right. Pirates on the speedboats, with the drivers remaining motionless. One pirate, gun in hand, aimed at the ship, ready to fire at any moment. Another threw a Flying Claw, preparing to board the ship! Theres no denying itthe gasoline barrels were useful; the first attempts of the Flying Claws failed to grab any substantial anchor. The crew members on the cruise ship hid behind cover, holding Fire Extinguishing Water Dragons, ready to let loose the moment a pirate showed their face. Others held homemade weapons similar to ancient halberds, guarding against the enemys assault. Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And Li Jin took out the seeds from his pocket, clenching them in his hand. He peered through the gaps between the gasoline barrels for a look below. Aiming! However! "Da da da!" Experienced pirates immediately spotted Li Jins figure and fired a burst at him. Not just him, the two ships patrolling nearby also executed firepower suppression at the same time! Li Jin was brutally forced back behind cover. "Dont resist, Ill say it again, dont resist!" The pirates threatened once more. Li Jin slightly pressed down his hand, signaling the crew to stay well-hidden! It seems that they could only attack when the pirates boarded. He clenched the seed in his hand, dealing with both at the same time? No big problem! Seeing Li Jin scared to show his head, the pirates below let out a wild laughter: "Hahaha, right, squat nicely, no need to resist, resistance brings only blood and death!" The crew, one by one, were sweating profusely, pale-faced. Even with their vast experience, faced with the threat of death, they couldnt help but feel afraid! After all, there was too great a disparity in weapons! Thats the natural human response! Li Jin had no time to comfort them; after all, keeping them alive would be a million times more effective than comforting words! He gestured for the crew to keep quiet, lying on the ship, ears pressed against the deck. Wishing to discern the pirates boarding location through faint sounds. After all, the pirates werent stupid; they also had to be wary of firearms on the ship. So, they might choose a different path to board halfway up the climb! And Li Jin must grasp their whereabouts to attack at first instance! However, dont look at the intensity here. In fact, this wasnt the main battlefield. The main battlefield was on the uninhabited island. If everyone on the uninhabited island was captured, even if the cruise ship wasnt taken down, it wouldnt matter. ... On the uninhabited island. The pirates two motorboats were drawing ever closer. Even those on shore could see their yellowed teeth, knife scars on their bodies, and of course, that unmistakable bloodthirsty smile on their faces! One by one, they grew increasingly fearful. "Everyone squat by the side, hands on your heads! Otherwise, you will be killed on the spot!" The pirates fired a warning shot again and shouted loudly. This was a precarious business, so they had to be cautious. Otherwise, they might not see tomorrows sun. Hearing the pirates words, the Lin Family people immediately started doing as told. Everyone hunkered down, hands on their heads, even voluntarily lowering their heads, closing their eyes! "Im squatting down, dont shoot!" "Ive squatted down, already down!" "We have money, well give you money!" "..." At this moment, it wasnt about whether you were brave or timid; this was about self-preservation. After all, what good is boldness? Without weapons, and not having eaten their fill, going for a desperate fight? Thats just courting death! However, not everyone squatted down. Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng didnt. Both were still having breakfast. Lu Xiaobu was confident. And Lin Feng was confident because of Lu Xiaobus confidence. As for Zhang Meng, he had already arrived in front of Lu Xiaobu, ready to shield against bullets. Although Liang Lan and the others were shaking with fear, pale as ghosts, they still stood firmly by Lu Xiaobus side, not leaving. Lu Xiaobu looked at the two motorboats about to land, put down the roasted bird egg in his hand, and wiped his mouth: "Its about time!" Chapter 482 - 480 Goodbye [3 updates in tribute to Mr. Tree Hole’s generous reward] Chapter 482: Chapter 480 Goodbye [3 updates in tribute to Mr. Tree Holes generous reward]The pirates were drawing nearer and nearer. And the idiosyncrasies of Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng had put the pirates on high alert. Suddenly, out of the six, aside from the two pilots, two were specifically tasked with watching Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng. The remaining two were watching those who had already crouched down. "You there! Are you asking for death?! Get down!" One of the pirates barked at Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng. "Da da da!" Another pirate fired three shots, which landed on the ground in front of Zhang Meng. Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was a threat, although they were pirates, they were not trigger-happy killers. After all, bloodshed could easily lead to violent resistance. And that was not what they wanted! However, what surprised them was, Zhang Meng, whom they had expected to be terrified out of his mind, didnt move an inch, as if the one who had just been so close to death wasnt him. Lin Feng looked at Zhang Mengs demeanor, then at the two bodyguards who, though by his side, showed no sign of preparing to take a bullet for him, and envy surfaced in his eyes. How did this Lu Xiaobu manage to earn such unwavering loyalty from his subordinates? Ah, such disparity! And at this time, Lu Xiaobu put down the roasted bird egg in his hand and wiped his mouth: "That should be about right." The Dragon Capturing Hands charging was complete. This was the prodigal spending he incurred last time when he rented an island at Qian Island Lake; having spent a billion, only fifty million was left now! He didnt waste that fifty million either, instead, he activated the Luck Aura. When it comes to luck, every bit counts - only benefits, no harm! Then, Lu Xiaobu patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder, signaling him to move aside. "Young Master!" Zhang Meng, motionless, asked with concern. "Its okay." Lu Xiaobu patted Zhang Meng again, saying firmly. "Alright!" Zhang Meng, clenching his teeth, stood to the side, but his muscles tensed, ready to rush out at any moment. Lu Xiaobu stood on the beach and looked at the two speedboats in front of him, walking back and forth twice as if curious. "What are you looking at?!" Seeing Lu Xiaobus movements, the pirates became furious! What did this mean? They were pirates, bringers of death and fear, and everyone who saw them turned tail in fright, didnt they? But now? No fear was shown, not only did they not crouch, but they even dared to watch them as if they were watching monkeys! Their aim was not this arrogant kid, but the one next to him! But this kids actions were a grave challenge to their pirate dignity! Unforgivable! Intolerable! In an instant! A pirate raised his weapon and shot at Lu Xiaobus thigh! "Bang!" The bullet was fired! Zhang Mengs eyes filled with rage! His body hurriedly lunged forward! He wanted to take the bullet! He filled with regret; he should have never moved aside! Liang Lan and the other three women also screamed: "Xiaobu!" "Young Master!" "Boss!" Sharp cries filled the deserted island! Even Lin Fengs pupils contracted, and he involuntarily clenched his fists. The pirates, hearing these voices, seemed to be listening to the most beautiful music, their smiles growing more bloodthirsty! Dare to defy them! This was the consequence! They even envisioned the scene where fresh blood flew from Lu Xiaobus thigh. It must have been a beautifully curved arc of red! But ultimately, Zhang Meng wasnt as fast as the bullet. The bullet hit Lu Xiaobus thigh accurately! "Bang!" But! All the anticipated things about Lu Xiaobu being shot through the leg did not happen; not even a drop of blood was spilled. Moreover, the sound just now didnt resemble that of a bullet hitting flesh; rather, it was like the sound of hitting an iron plate. "Bang!" Zhang Meng finally lunged. He lunged in front of Lu Xiaobu, sprawling onto the ground. "Thud!" At this moment, a flattened bullet fell in front of him, hitting the sandy beach. Seeing the bullet, his eyes suddenly brightened, then he looked up at Lu Xiaobus leg! Its fine! The Young Master is unharmed! Thats such a relief! He didnt have time to think about anything else; his heart was filled with joy! "Phew! Xiaobu, you scared me to death!" Wu Qianmin burst into tears when she saw Lu Xiaobu was unharmed! She sat down on the ground and cried out loud! The young pepper bit her teeth hard, but tears glistened in her eyes. Liang Lan patted her chest, gasping heavily, and slumped onto the ground, as if all her strength had been drained! Su Luoxue took a couple of steps back, squatted down, and covered her face tightly! Lin Feng also let out a sigh of relief. The scene from Magic City, where Lu Xiaobu had caught the dinner knife barehanded, sprang to his mind, followed by the memory of Lu Xiaobu enduring the Iron Mountain Lean attack of the Baji Sect at Zhou Familys courtyard! It seems that Lu Xiaobu must possess some kind of treasure! However, he certainly didnt expect that Lu Xiaobu could even withstand bullets. They were shocked! The pirates were terrified! What? The bullets were blocked! Is this even human?! Their greatest belief was the gun in their hands and the money about to be theirs. Now their greatest reliance proved to be useless! How could they not be terrified! How could they not feel scared! They all behaved as if they were mad, but Lu Xiaobu just grinned and muttered, "Damn it, blocking a single bullet consumes so much Shield Value!" The previously charged 50 billion Charging Shield now came into play! But the consumption was too damn high! Damn it! If it doesnt pay off, he wont stand for it! At the moment, the pirates looked crazed, each raising their guns to fire again. However, Lu Xiaobu wouldnt allow them to shoot again. "One billion Dragon Capturing Hand! Fire!" Lu Xiaobu whispered to himself. Suddenly, an invisible force surged out! "Bang!" The Dragon Capturing Hand slammed hard into the first speedboat. "Boom!" Instantly, the mighty Dragon Capturing Hand pierced through the first speedboat, even causing an explosion, hurling the pirates on board like ragdolls into the air! Yet, that was not all! Lu Xiaobus movement just then, wasnt for provoking the pirates. After all, he wasnt that idle and annoyed to go that far. He was looking for an angle. A suitable, two-birds-with-one-stone angle! And his current angle was just right. Farewell to you all! We might not have your so-called heavy weapons, but I have mine! So! "Bang!" The Dragon Capturing Hand that destroyed the first speedboat passed through the explosion and once again obliterated the second speedboat! Exactly like the first one! Explosion! Fire! Deafening noise! Pirates fluttering like tattered scraps of fabric! Six pirates originally aiming for the deserted islandannihilated! Total shock ensued! Chapter 483 - 481: Total Annihilation [Extra update in honor of Mr. Tree Hole’s generous reward] Chapter 483: Chapter 481: Total Annihilation [Extra update in honor of Mr. Tree Holes generous reward]"Boom!" This explosion suddenly captured everyones attention. Among the Lin Family members who had been hanging their heads low, not daring to look up, some of the braver ones slowly raised their heads. And instantly, they saw the sea beach engulfed by blazing flames! And there was Lu Xiaobu, standing in front of the firelight. "Whats going on?" "Could it be that Lu Xiaobu has weapons?!" "No, thats not right! This place is so small, how could there be any weapons?" "Yeah, so whats happening?!" "..." Some people whispered amongst themselves, while many others still held their heads, not daring to look up at all. Lin Fengs food unintentionally fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with disbelief. What was happening? Why had Lu Xiaobu destroyed two motorboats without him seeing anything?! What kind of sorcery is this?! Such immense power!? Since when did Lu Xiaobu have such a powerful method?! Housekeeper Jia was so terrified that he plopped onto the ground, his hands trembling uncontrollably. A person harboring such terrifying and tremendous power, indiscernible to the naked eye, was right beside themhow could he not be scared! On the pirates flagship, they also took notice of the commotion here. "Boss! Boss! Bad news, the intelligence was wrong, the enemy has heavy weaponry!" The pirate observing the situation rushed to their leaders side in a panic and exclaimed. "What?!" The pirate leaders eyes narrowed sharply, a fierce glint in his eyes, and he grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Team One, Team Two, respond! Respond!" After a long wait, there was no response! "Boom!" The pirate leader slammed the walkie-talkie hard on the table: "Dammit, playing me?!" His eyes ferociously blazed. He felt like hed been played! ... And just at that moment. On Lu Xiaobus cruise ship. The pirates on this side were also captivated by the immense sound. All turned their heads to look. And right at that moment! Li Jin made a snap decision. He poked his head out, and the True Qi-filled seeds in his hand shot out like bullets! "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Three sounds of air being torn apart, as the seeds shot directly toward their respective targets! "Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!" The sounds of flesh being pierced rang out! And at the same time, Li Jin did not look at the results but rolled on the deck and moved to the other side. Without any hesitation, Li Jin leaped over the railings. In mid-air, under the bewildered gazes of the pirates... "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Again, three sounds of air being split. "Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!" The same relentless sequence! "Splash!" At that moment, Li Jin too plunged into the water. Once underwater, Li Jin didnt choose to surface immediately but continued to use his momentum to dive deeper! After all, there were still two patrolling boats nearby! He had just seized an opportunity. By now, the enemy must have reacted! Sure enough! "Dadada! Dadada!" "Plop plop plop plop!" A series of bullet splash sounds followed! Fortunately, since Li Jin dived deep enough, he was safe! ... On the pirate ship. "Boss, what do we do?!" A pirate spoke out. The pirate leader fell into deep thought. He didnt want to give up this business deal, not just for the agreed money. But also for the big fish aboard this ship! After all, there were quite a few important people here. The ransom they could demand would be substantial! And at this moment! Another voice came through the walkie-talkie! "Boss, boss, groups three and four have been wiped out!" The patrolling pirate transmitted his voice, a hint of fear in his tone. What on earth did the enemy use to kill their men just now?! Why is there no sound?! Even with a silencer, there should be some sound, right? "What!" The pirate leader stood up abruptly, his face filled with brutality: "What are you good for! Groups one and two just got wiped out, and now youre telling me groups three and four are gone too! Why dont you patrolling fools just go die?!" "Boss! I..." The pirates voice came through. However, mid-sentence, the voice cut off. Then, an unfamiliar voice followed: "As you wished, theyre dead! Daring to lay a hand on Young Master, your turn is coming soon!" "Who are you!" The pirate leader was furious. But there was no response from the other side. Whose voice was it? Of course, it was Li Jins voice. Li Jin had sneaked up from underwater to the boat where they were talking on the walkie-talkie, which wasnt moving fast! He took them by surprise, fighting one against three! All taken out! After threatening the pirate leader with the walkie-talkie, he again bit his dagger and jumped back into the water. Next one! "Fuck!" The pirate leader exploded with rage! "Bang!" Another walkie-talkie was slammed down. What was this operation? Not a single penny gained, but a loss of 15 experienced crew members! How easy is it to cultivate pirates that have crawled out of blood and water?! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Seeing the brutal pirate leader, the pirates around him were all silent as cicadas in winter! "Damn it! Move! Notify group six to return! Retreat!" The pirate leader said through gritted teeth. Retreat was now necessary. Too much time had passed, and it was very likely that other ships, or even naval vessels, had taken notice! And with the enemy having heavy weaponry, an assault was impossible! Damn it! This was the most disastrous operation in his pirating history! Someone must pay for this operation! "Boss, group six..." A pirate beside him stammered. "What happened? Speak!" The pirate leader roared! "Theyre gone too!" The pirate shivered! "Slap!" The pirate leader kicked a pirate right to the edge of the boat: "What did you say?!" "Its true! Its true! Boss!" The pirate said in fear, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. "Fuck!" The pirate leader immediately picked up a telescope and looked towards where group six had been! Indeed! Gone! He also saw a head that appeared and disappeared in a flash! He knew it was that person who had killed his men! Rage! His emotions were consumed by fury! Three more gone! All six groups, completely annihilated! In his blind rage, he pulled out a gun and fired a barrage! But he didnt hit a single thing! "Fuck! Retreat!" The pirate leader issued the brutal order. Anger was one thing, but retreat was still necessary when called for! The pirate ship retreated! On the uninhabited island. Seeing the pirates withdrawing. Housekeeper Jia finally let out a sigh of relief: "Theyre finally gone, at last!" "Your men make me envious," Lin Feng looked at Zhang Meng, then glanced towards Li Jin in the distance, and sighed. Why did all the capable and strong subordinates flock to Lu Xiaobus side, while he had none? Jealousy and resentment, indeed! "Is it over just like that?" Lu Xiaobu watched the pirate ship that was gradually moving away, a hint of murderous intent appearing in his eyes. To run away after such a display?! These few "salted fish" as compensation were not enough! Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Of course, its not over!" Murderous intent also appeared in Lin Fengs eyes! However, besides looking at the pirate ship, he was also watching certain people from the Lin Family! Chapter 484 - 482: Watching Fireworks [5th Update, Extra for ? Dream in the Deep Alley] Chapter 484: Chapter 482: Watching Fireworks [5th Update, Extra for ? Dream in the Deep Alley]After such an incident, Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to continue. "Zhang Meng, get ready, lets get everyone on the boat." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand to give the order. "Yes!" Zhang Meng answered. Lu Xiaobu sat back down and continued eating breakfast. And you know what, the game meat tasted better with every bite. "Who do you think it was?" Lu Xiaobu asked Lin Feng beside him. "No matter who it is, Lin Hao cant be uninvolved. Just grab him and ask. This is a deserted island, isnt it?" Lin Feng said calmly. But the murderous intent in his words was not diminished at all. Deserted island, deserted island, an island without living people! "Do as you please, I just need the address. I cant miss the show!" Lu Xiaobu clapped his hands and stood up to speak. "Alright, give me half an hour." Lin Feng also stood up, heading towards Lin Hao who was limp on the ground, shivering non-stop, unsure whether from fever or fear. Lin Feng, along with two bodyguards, took Lin Hao deeper into the island behind them. Lu Xiaobu looked at the sea surface dotted with blood and bodies, murmuring seemingly unconsciously: "I guess itll turn red very soon!" One who shot at him, one who attempted to rob him recklessly, even posed a great threat to their livesa pirate gang. Neither he nor Lin Feng would allow them the chance to strike again! Everyone has a vengeful mindset, can you say that the pirates who suffered such losses this time wont seek revenge next time? So, its better not to leave any behind. ... "Ah! No! Please, no!" Accompanied by the sounds of struggle, Lin Feng walked out from the wilderness of the island. "I got it." Lin Feng said as he dusted off his hands. "Where?" Lu Xiaobu yawned as he asked. "Its not too far, on an island. The specifics, he didnt know either, seeing as he was in contact by phone and never scouted the location personally." Lin Feng tossed a now blood-red handkerchief into the sea, letting it float away with the wind: "But I asked around at home, and weve pretty much confirmed the location." At that moment, the small boat arrived to pick up Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng. "Good. Lets go!" Lu Xiaobu walked towards the boat. Watching Lu Xiaobus retreating figure, Lin Feng suddenly asked: "Can your strength be explained by science?" He stood there quietly, watching Lu Xiaobus back, waiting for an answer. "Guess!" Lu Xiaobu extended his hand and waved: "Get on the boat quick, I wont wait for you. Dont blame me if I throw you off!" Hearing this answer, Lin Feng suddenly laughed. Laughed without reason, heartlessly and without care! Then, his laughter subsided as he made his way to the boat. While walking, he asked his two bodyguards: "Can you withstand Lu Xiaobus move?" "Uh..." The two looked at each other: "Maybe!" "That means youre not sure!" Lin Feng smiled and strode away. This is getting more and more interesting. Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, every time I think I understand you completely, when I feel like I can fully control you, you always give me some unexpected surprises. Its becoming increasingly interesting. Lets continue playing. Until, I get tired of you and kill you! Or, you get tired of it and kill me! I think, you probably have the same idea, dont you! ... Back on the boat. The Lin Family people werent shunning big boxers or refusing kebabs anymore. That guy, dashing around in big boxers, they were all scrambling for food! Sometimes, theyd even eat it half-cooked, claiming its medium-rare! Bullshit! They were just famished! "Young Master Lu, this is a message from my Young Master for you." Housekeeper Jia came over with a slip of paper, and with a slight bow, he spoke next to Lu Xiaobu. This gesture hadnt happened before, only starting today. Before this, he had only ever done so for two people, an elder, and Young Master Lin. "Alright, tell Lin Feng to do whatever he needs to do." Lu Xiaobu took the note, glanced at it, and then handed it to Zhang Meng. It was an address! "So, specifically..." Housekeeper Jia asked, puzzled. "Lin Feng knows." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. "Okay, I understand. Young Master Lu, I wish you a pleasant day!" Housekeeper Jia bowed once more, took two steps back before turning to leave. "Young Master, are we just going like this?" Zhang Meng spoke with slight concern: "Since its their lair, they must have heavy weapons, and Li Jin and I might not be able to handle it." It wasnt about losing courage, just stating the truth. After all, if anything were to happen to Young Master, they would be doomed! "What are you thinking? Were going to watch fireworks, not to fight." Lu Xiaobu chuckled: "Do civilized people like us engage in fights? Leave it to Lin Feng." "You mean Young Master Lin will take care of them?" Zhang Meng was still puzzled. "Of course, Lin Feng has a much worse temper than I do." Lu Xiaobu scoffed: "These pirates have really crossed the line attacking Lin Feng. If Lin Feng doesnt grind them into dust, can he even still call himself Lin Feng? Well just watch the show!" "But!" Zhang Meng hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something else. "Speak up, what are you afraid of?" Lu Xiaobu laughed. "Its just that I think Lin Fengs temper is quite okay. He even seems a bit funny at times." Zhang Meng rubbed his hands as he spoke. He felt a bit embarrassed talking about someone behind their back. "Thats just around me." Lu Xiaobu sat down, chuckling as he explained with the sea breeze in his face: "Hes sparing no effort to defeat me, and that includes managing his temper." "Otherwise, if he could let go of this obsession with defeating me, he couldve already instructed his family to launch a devastating attack on us." "But he didnt. He wants to defeat me fair and square, to utterly crush me!" "Of course, when that time comes, itll probably be the end of me as well, because to him, a toy that has lost its fun is just destined for the trash heap." "The same goes for me. Honestly, if there comes a day when I can easily crush Lin Feng, then Lin Feng is as good as dead." "Even if I dont kill him, he would rather die, because he will not allow anyone to completely trample on him!" Lu Xiaobu spoke while gazing at the horizon, his eyes reflecting some indeterminate thought. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Zhang Meng quickly said, "Young Master, you wont lose!" "Of course not! Who am I?" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily and stood up: "Lets go, time to shower and change clothes, I reek." After a couple of steps, his eyes suddenly gleamed: "Seems like Sister Lan and the rest are also taking showers, huh! Heh! Hehehe!" Lu Xiaobu sprinted off. He had to hurry, or hed miss it. Zhang Meng, trailing behind Lu Xiaobu, revealed a wry smile watching the Young Masters swift change of face. It seemed, after all, he was fit to be a brute; the thinking and dueling style of Young Masters like his was too mentally taxing. Honestly, there had been several times when he didnt understand why the Young Master had won and Lin Feng lost out of the blue! S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Indeed, the Young Master is the Young Master! Chapter 485 - 483 Double Win [1st Update] Chapter 485: Chapter 483 Double Win [1st Update]The cruise ship set sail, and everyone from the Lin Family thought they were heading back home. They were all thrilled. "Finally, were going back home!" "Yeah, Im so famished Ive nearly lost weight!" "Famished? How many lamb skewers did you just eat?!" "Yeah, and you, putting seven eggs in a single pancakehave you gone mad?!" "And youre talking about me? How much hot and spicy soup did you eat? Man, I didnt even get a bite of meat; you took it all!" "Lets not point fingers!" "We are all desperate!" Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "..." But as they continued, they suddenly realized something was wrong! "Somethings not right!" "Yeah, this isnt the route back home!" "Look at that island, when we came here initially, I remember we approached it from the left! Why are we going horizontally now!" "What do you mean horizontally, left and right? Im totally confused now!" "Its the wrong route! Were not on our way home!" "What!? No way! Are we going somewhere else?! Forget it!" "Yeah! Just let this be it, Im truly scared! Scared!" "..." After realizing something was amiss, each member of the Lin Family dared not even eat their meals. They really didnt want to endure any more of this. Just two days of torture practically maxed out the misery of their entire lifetime! They really wanted to ask Lu Xiaobu, but were too afraid to, fearing he might just throw them into the sea in retaliation. At that moment. Housekeeper Jia came over: "Young Masters Lin, Young Master Feng wants you to come over, he has something to say to you." Hearing Lin Fengs name, these people gulped down their saliva, fear flashing through their eyes. They could guess what Lin Feng was up to. After all, Lin Hao had died, and there had to be an explanation. Its impossible for such a significant figure in the Lin Family to just disappear without a trace. That explanation wouldnt hold. But still, their hearts were filled with fear. They didnt know by what means Lin Feng intended to keep them quiet, hoping it wouldnt be permanently! After all, getting Lin Feng to trust that they wouldnt babble nonsense wasnt easy. The people from the Lin Family all went to find Lin Feng. Lu Xiaobu went back to take a shower. After hearing the situation reported by Zhang Meng, he chuckled: "Its time to use those handles." ... Soon, the ship arrived at its destination. From afar, lighting up was a small island burst with fires! Continual loud explosions could be heard. "It seems we arrived too late, the Fireworks have already started." Lu Xiaobu leaned against the window, looking outside at the Fireworks and spread his hands. "Young Master, what should we do now?" Liang Lan asked. "Prepare a small boat, were getting ready to disembark." Lu Xiaobu said while yawning. "Disembark? What for?" Wu Qianmin asked, puzzled. "A full play requires a full performance!" Lu Xiaobu laughed, "Lin Feng must be ready too!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Liang Lan appeared contemplative. But the others were still a bit puzzled. However, puzzled or not, it was best to follow orders! Others could hold back, but Little Chili couldnt help asking: "Sister Lan, why do we need to disembark?" "If nothing else, the Young Master plans to destroy the ship." Liang Lan explained quietly. "Why? Then how will we get back?" Little Chili was bewildered and didnt understand! "It gives everyone a reasonable explanation!" Liang Lan smiled, her thoughts becoming clearer: "We were attacked by pirates, Lin Hao unfortunately was killed by the pirates, and many others died too, we were captured and taken here, and finally, the ship was destroyed, and we escaped during a rescue operation!" "Sss!" Su Luoxue gasped in shock. She was still immersed in the events that happened on the deserted island. Had the aftermath been handled already?! When did Young Master Lin plan this? And how did Sister Lan find out?! It seemed she still had a long way to go! As Lu Xiaobu stepped out of the cabin, he indeed saw Lin Feng coming out with the Lin Family. The expressions on the Lin Familys faces were extremely complex. There was relief, fear, worry, shock, and of course, panic! However, whatever their emotions might be, they no longer had a say here! "Leave the rest to you." Lu Xiaobu said to Lin Feng. "Hey, this is your ship." Lin Feng said unhappily. He didnt really have a reason to be angry; it was actually easier to handle everything if it was all left to him. But, he just wasnt used to the tone Lu Xiaobu used. "Im lazy." Lu Xiaobu stated frankly. "I! I am at a loss for words!" Lin Feng rolled his eyes, speechless. That reason, well, it worked! Lu Xiaobu, followed by his men, came to lie on the small bed, lazily holding the last can of beer, leaning on Liang Lan, watching the Fireworks on the island! Meanwhile, Lin Feng was upstairs arranging everything. The Lin Family didnt have any issues at the moment, but the crew, cooks, and so on all needed to be arranged. The traces also had to be meticulously handled. It couldnt all rely on pressure to conceal, as that would make it easy to discover the slight clues! After who knows how long, Lu Xiaobu was almost falling asleep... As the Fireworks on the island were about to end... The cruise ship started. It powered up to maximum, and charged towards the small island! That feeling really had a sense of the winds howling and the waters ice-cold, a warrior departs, never to return! "Bang!" As the cruise ship crashed into the pirates base, it put a perfect period on this Fireworks show. It was over. Lu Xiaobu continued to sway leisurely. Not long after, a new ship sailed over, Lin Feng stood on the deck and gestured Lu Xiaobu to come up by waving his hand. Lu Xiaobu and his people boarded the ship. Lin Feng handed Lu Xiaobu another can of beer: "I had them prepare it especially for you." "Okay." Lu Xiaobu took the beer, looking at the sunset, drinking by himself. "Arent you afraid I wouldnt let you come up?" Lin Feng joked. "Dare you? Its not just the two of us here." Lu Xiaobu snorted. The main force deployed this time wasnt any of their two families people, but official personnel. "Boring!" Lin Feng rolled his eyes and also leaned on the railing, watching the sunset. At the same time, he also opened a can of beer. Yes, a beer. Not wine! "Cheers?" Lin Feng said to Lu Xiaobu. "Yes, cheers, whose celebration is this?" Lu Xiaobu laughed. "Whose? Ours! Its a win-win, right?" Lin Feng laughed. "Yes, a win-win!" Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng clinked their cans. The two exchanged a smile and then drank up at the same time. The sunset stretched their shadows long. But, there was a clear dividing line between them, never merging! Chapter 486 - 484 Upgrade [Second Release] Chapter 486: Chapter 484 Upgrade [Second Release]Im back in the country. On the way home from the seaport, Su Luoxue kept asking Liang Lan questions. She has finally started to take the initiative in learning these things, rather than being passively indoctrinated. "Sister Lan, you said this time its a win-win, but doesnt this mean Young Master Bu is going up against the Lin Family! Why is it a win-win?" Su Luoxue asked softly. "You look at things too simply. Let me ask you, since Lin Feng wants the Young Master to deal with the Lin Family, is the Young Master currently strong enough to confront the Lin Family?" Liang Lan replied. "No." Su Luoxue shook her head, then had a moment of realization: "Does that mean Lin Feng will figure out a way to increase the Young Masters strength?!" "Exactly! Starting today, Lin Feng will find all sorts of ways to increase the Young Masters strength, and he will provide protection for Young Master Bu in many aspects. This is equivalent to the Young Master having an extra layer of a protective umbrella. Wouldnt you call that a win-win?" Liang Lan nodded with satisfaction. "Then in that case, the Young Master should have just agreed to Lin Feng from the start! Why go through all these troubles?" Su Luoxue raised another question. "Thats because the Young Master needs Lin Feng to take him seriously enough, to make him realize that the Young Master is his partner, or even an enemy, not some so-called subordinate." Liang Lan explained. "This way, when Lin Fengs position is threatened, he definitely wont, and wouldnt dare to just discard Young Master Bu as an expendable piece. Instead, he will do everything possible to protect the Young Master. After all, they share the wealth together, and if one gets damaged, they both go down!" "Sss!" Su Luoxue swallowed her saliva: "The Young Master actually thinks so far ahead?" "Of course, no one can guess the Young Masters thoughts!" Liang Lan proudly said, "You have a long way to go!" After a while. "Sister Lan, lets buy another cruise ship." Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan, "Our yacht blew up, and honestly, I feel like blowing some cash too." To tell the truth, this time on the deserted island, he had spent the entire 150 million, and the amount for indulging in luxuries was empty again. "How big does the Young Master want?" Liang Lan asked. "Lets get one around a hundred meters long." Lu Xiaobu wasnt very clear about the yacht market, so he just threw out a number. "Uh... okay." Liang Lan shook her head with a wry smile. The Young Masters standards were always so blunt and straightforward. She went to make a phone call. Shortly after. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Young Master, theres a 91.5-meter one available, currently ranking 51st among the worlds largest yachts, with an owners suite, three VIP rooms, three double rooms, and two double cabins, accommodating a total of 26 guests." "The yacht is equipped with a sauna, steam room, performance area, a small swimming pool, beauty salon, and gym. And of course, it has a helicopter pad, what do you think?" Liang Lan introduced a yacht that basically met the Young Masters requirements. "It sounds similar to the one before." Lu Xiaobu recalled the yacht Lin Feng gave him as he heard about these facilities. "Its similar in terms of configuration, but this one is a bit bigger. The one Young Master Lin gave you was custom-made for him, small but fully equipped." Liang Lan explained. "Alright, that one then. How much?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "250 million US dollars, about 1.5 billion RMB." Liang Lan reported back. "Deal!" Lu Xiaobu was immediately beaming with joy: "I didnt realize yachts were such a money sink! Had I known earlier, I wouldnt have taken Lin Fengs; I wouldve bought my own." That was really satisfying. Twenty billion in luxury spending money should last him a while now. Speaking of money, Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes: "System, come on out!" "Whats up?" The system asked. "Whats up? You have the nerve to ask whats up? Im asking you, how many bullets did the Charging Shield block this time?" Lu Xiaobu asked with displeasure. "Just one." The system was puzzled, yet answered honestly. "How much Shield did that use up?" Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes and asked, a murderous intent beginning to surge within them. He had thought that this system was finally not screwing him over, but as it turns out, the damn Shield was the biggest pit of them all! "Cough cough, ten... ten... billion!" The system said in an utterly embarrassed tone. It finally understood what Lu Xiaobu was getting at. "So youre telling me, I used ten billion just to block one bullet? Could you remind me, how much was it for the specialized bullet Shield that I bought at the beginning?" Lu Xiaobu asked, his eyes askew. "That... this... ahem, roughly, a couple tens of millions." The system was thief-like in its embarrassment. "A couple of tens of millions, huh?" Lu Xiaobu pressed on. "Ten million, cough cough cough!" The system was so mortified it wanted to crawl into a hole. "So, under normal circumstances, its ten million per bullet, and now look, ten billion per bullet? Am I a fool to you? Youre just jacking up the price a hundredfold? I charged fifty billion, and in the end, it can only withstand five bullets?!" Lu Xiaobu was on the verge of cursing out loud! Anyone would be furious if something like this happened to them. "No, didnt I explain it to you before! This Charging Shield operates in an all-rounded, no dead angle manner, also providing protection irrespective of the attack type, so it consumes a bit more. Ive told you all these things!" The system was both embarrassed and aggrieved. "Damn it, how the hell was I supposed to know your no dead angle was like this?!" Lu Xiaobus liver hurt from the anger! He originally thought this Charging Shield was like a flowing water-type Shield, where if you took a cut from a knife, the energy at that spot would rapidly deplete; even if it was a higher consumption, he would have tolerated it, since after all, it covered all angles without dead zone. But what now? It turned out this damn Shield was like an eggshell. Once you break a layer, the whole thing is wasted. So, something that couldve been taken care of with ten million blows out to ten billion! What if he had used those ten billion to buy a hundred bullet Shields?! What a scoundrel! "This! That! How do I put it!" The system was somewhat at a loss for words. It could understand Lu Xiaobus anger. However, comprehension aside, it felt that it wasnt in the wrong. Forget it, no more defending itself, lest the smart-ass Host starts blowing his top again! "How about, I find a way to upgrade it? Upgrade it to that flowing water-type Shield style?" The system cautiously suggested a solution. "Deal!" Lu Xiaobu agreed, "Get on it right now!" "No no no, its not about right now or not, but rather... money... this..." The system hinted with a meaningful tone. "How much?" Lu Xiaobu was too angry to beat around the bush and said it bluntly. The system said, "Roughly, fifteen billion..." "Hmm?!" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowing. "Cough cough cough, actually, ten billion would suffice!" The system instantly backpedaled. "Hmm?!" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed completely. "Lets do this then, I take some responsibility for this, so how about I chip in, and you pay eight billion?" The system said, feeling the pain. Chapter 487 - 485 Attack Lu Group [First Update] Chapter 487: Chapter 485 Attack Lu Group [First Update]Back home, Lu Xiaobu slept for a whole day, experiencing calm and tranquility. It was as if the prior pirate incident had never occurred. Such a lack of news was actually the best newsit suggested that Lin Feng had managed to take control, or at least temporarily, calming the Lin Family from pursuing the matter any further. However Lin Feng accomplished it, it was good news for Lu Xiaobu. Soon, the first gift from Lin Feng arrived. To be precise, it wasnt a gift but a method to enhance power. The simplest and most effective way. That involved the various products of Lu Group receiving varying degrees of attention, and coupled with Lu Xiaobus credibility being the top wealthy magnate, this led to a consistent rise in Lu Groups business. Of course, it wasnt done too overtly, the growth was slow. Though imperceptible at first, it would eventually become evident given some time. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu remained as calm as ever, allowing this situation to settle further. But, its hard to find peace when the winds continue to blow. Lu Xiaobu, known for his distinctiveness and high profile which contrasted with others who quietly amassed wealth, naturally attracted numerous enemies. And here came the trouble, or more accurately, it had been looming for a while! This trouble wasnt directed at him initially, but at his protege, the female academic prodigyZhang Shilin, ultimately affecting him as well. The trouble started simply, do you recall the time at the writers association, when Zhang Shilins critique "On Horses" infuriated and drove away the old-fashioned Zhu Haixuan? They say scholars hold themselves in high esteem, and this man, who considered himself a contemporary master, having been publicly humiliated by a young girl, could he tolerate it? Thus, this old fellow spent this period rallying, publicly denouncing! As for Zhang Shilin, she wasnt very attentive to these matters and wasnt articulate. By the time her seldom-online parents informed her, she realized she had become the target of public criticism! Even her parents at home were alarmed, indicating the scale of the turmoil! After all, it wasnt just Zhu Haixuan battling alone. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was his disciples, relatives, friends, and scholars from the literary circle who already disliked Lu Xiaobu, creating a formidable alliance. Netizens had even given them a name, the Anti-Lu Squad! Some went further, assigning them roles. Leader of Anti-Lu Squad: Zhu Haixuan. Expertise: Leveraging seniority, using literary status to criticize, attacking Lu Xiaobu and Zhang Shilin master and disciple duo for being talented but unethical. Classic quote: "A crooked beam results in a crooked column; a good student, taught by Lu Xiaobu into nothing more than a scold!" ... Deputy of Anti-Lu Squad: Fu Zehao. Expertise: Occupying the moral high ground, quoting out of context, magnifying the flaws in Lu Xiaobus writings. Classic quote: "Is this what you call literature? Is this how literature should be? After writing two articles, he insulted people in both! A disgrace to the literary world! ... Strategist of Anti-Lu Squad: Fang Yunlong. Expertise: Digging deep, bringing up the past. Using Lu Xiaobus dark history to expand influence. Classic quote: "Ive said long ago that this person is rubbish, we should have completely blocked him! And yes, his disciple is no good either!" ... The Five Generals of Anti-Lu Squad: Zhu Haixuans five disciples, whom the netizens say they cant remember the names. Expertise: Grasping at straws, stirring trouble, verbal abuse, inciting emotions, changing the subject! Classic quotes: "Have you ever seen Lu Xiaobu when he isnt insulting someone? Have you?!" "I strongly demand a re-inspection of Lu Groups products!" "Shitty idiot! Only these three words can express my feelings!" "Are you guys really content being played by Lu Xiaobu?!" "Dont talk to me about that, Im talking about this other thing!" ... Against-Lu Group member: Vast Zhu Haixuan fans, spectators who love a good show, Lu Xiaobus haters, passersby caught in the rhythm, people with a severe hatred for the rich, and so on! Good at: Following trends, reposting, liking! Classic quotes: "Heart! Like! Well said! +1! +10086!" ... Since Lu Xiaobu is not in the country, and Zhang Shilin, the female academic ace, is as blockheaded as can be. This has caused the Against-Lu Group to grow outrageously online without any adversaries, like an invasive species without natural predators. And Lu Xiaobus die-hard fans are completely suffocated under pressure. Looking around, it was all about condemning Lu Xiaobu. The next day, Lu Xiaobu crawled out of bed, yawned downstairs, and then Liang Lan told him about it. "Its quite a big deal." Lu Xiaobu opened Weibo, glanced twice at the so-called Against-Lu Group leader Zhu Haixuans Weibo and said. "Yeah, its big! It seems that today they even started bombarding the writers association, saying the association abandoned the writers baseline for money!" Liang Lan stretched out her hand, switched Weibo screens, and handed it to Lu Xiaobu. "Tsk tsk tsk, not bad." Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow: "Didnt the writers association say anything?" "They did, but it was useless." Liang Lan opened the writers associations Weibo, putting it in front of Lu Xiaobu. It had statements from Mr. Wen, clarifying the matter. But, totally useless. People who love spectacles seem inherently fond of challenging authority, and seeing those authorities pressed with no words left, they inexplicably feel happy. This had led to Mr. Wens Weibo being filled with abusive comments. "Did your conscience get eaten by a dog? You still defend Lu Xiaobu!" "Yeah, as a literary master like Mr. Zhu, how dare the writers association drive him away?! Who would believe what you say now?!" "Really, each generation is worse than the last, the literary circles ethos is all spoiled by you!" "Trash! Idiot! My pee writes better than your articles!" "..." The above words were as unpleasant as they could be. One member of the writers association could not bear it anymore: "Zhu Haixuan, you are also a writer, do you think it is appropriate to use such despicable means and vulgar words?!" He was really annoyed, as disputes among literati are common. But a dispute should be about literature. Now cursing in the streets like small gangsters, whats the deal?! However, his words, likewise, did not catch attention and were bombarded again! "To deal with trash, you must treat them like trash!" "Exactly, Lu Xiaobu curses people every day, whats wrong with us cursing him?!" "Not just cursing him, but cursing you too! Asshole! Guard dog!" "..." See, they curse with such righteousness. The people at the writers association were extremely angered by the online comments! Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, thinking about how to curse them back. Chapter 488 - 486 I Have Your Childhood Photos·jpg [2nd Update] Chapter 488: Chapter 486 I Have Your Childhood Photosjpg [2nd Update]Lu Xiaobu looked at the Weibo chatbox and hesitated to send a message. At this stage, the momentum was already built up, responding with more insults would only lead to a back-and-forth that wouldnt be very useful. After all, even the literary association was left speechless by the ridicules. If he were to speak up again, it would likely end similarly. He guessed that Zhu Haixuan might be aiming for that sort of squabbling scenario! So, he pondered for a moment. It seems that he needs to find another way! "Call Tang Geng over." Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan. "Okay, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded. Soon, Tang Geng came over at a quick pace: "President Lu, you called for me?" "Hows the progress on the emoji packs? How many are there?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "Please have a look, President Lu, these are the emoji packs Ive created." Tang Geng hurriedly opened a laptop, then a folder, and introduced: "These are in anime style, these in character style, these are the cheap-style ones you asked for, and these are the cute-style ones." "Not bad." Lu Xiaobus lips curved into a smile: "Well done, heres a reward, five thousand!" "Thank you, President Lu!" Tang Geng immediately expressed his gratitude. Hed never imagined he could make money from this. Of course, he wouldnt have thought that Lu Xiaobus emoji would usher in a new era. "Let me see." Lu Xiaobu, within that so-called Anti-Lu Group, began to target someone. The first target locked in! A fellow called Wei Zhong. This guy was very arrogant, constantly provoking Lu Xiaobu, definitely the vanguard of the Anti-Lu Group! The latest Weibo went like this. "Lu Xiaobu, you think youre all that? Come out and talk! Too ashamed to speak, huh?" Lu Xiaobu responded with just one emoji. "Dont be arrogant, I have your childhood photosjpg." Wei Zhong had just posted a Weibo, feeling smug. Provoking Lu Xiaobu, who else dares? He dares! And this wasnt just mere provocation, in the last few days hed gained quite a few followers by challenging Lu Xiaobu. At this rate, he was sure to become famous! Suddenly, he received a notification, someone commented on his Weibo. He instinctively felt it must be members of the Anti-Lu Group, coming to like and comment. Even though trying to maintain a cool image, he still couldnt help but click to check. "Eh? A picture? Not text?" Wei Zhong clicked on the comment, first startled. Then, when he saw clearly what the picture was, his face went pale. It was a photo of a tadpole! That wasnt a big deal, a tadpoles still a tadpole! But! Damn it, look at the words below. "Dont be arrogant, I have your childhood photos!" Bloody hell, thats your childhood photo, damn it! Damn, who is this asshole?! The other things he wanted to respond with swear words, damn it, their Anti-Lu Group made Lu Xiaobu speechless, and still someone dared to provoke them? Then looking! Lu Xiaobu! Wei Zhongs face instantly changed, Lu Xiaobu spoke up?! Is this the sign of starting a fight?! His hands unconsciously started shaking. Lu Xiaobu didnt respond, he was arrogant, but actually seeing Lu Xiaobu responding, he got a bit scared! But then, the netizens also saw Lu Xiaobus reply! "Holy shit! 6666!" "This image is epic!" "Hahahaha, Im dying of laughter, dont be arrogant, I have your childhood photo! Is this really his childhood photo? Its more like everyones childhood photo!" "Who the hell is this! This is so funny!" "Im dying of laughter!" "Holy shit! Its Lu Xiaobu! Lu Xiaobu has spoken!" "I cant believe it! Lu Xiaobu finally replied! Is this the start of a war?!" "Dont be a wuss, Wei Zhong! Havent you been itching to clash with Lu Xiaobu? Now that he replied, its your turn!" "Exactly! Exactly!" "..." Watching the comments from his followers, Wei Zhong was indecisive. He didnt know whether to confront or not! He was afraid hed end up confronting himself to death! And then, Lu Xiaobu posted another comment. It was a picture. "Please start your performancejpg." An expression meme that oozed sass. The netizens exploded again. "Pfft! Hahaha! 66666!" "This image killed me, just look at that sly grin, full of provocation!" "Hahaha, Wei Zhong, if you dont respond now, youre a loser!" "Damn, Im dying of laughter!" "Wei Zhong, hurry up and respond!" "..." Seeing himself cornered with no choice but to respond, Wei Zhong had to post on Weibo: "Lu Xiaobu, dont get cocky." Yeah, a Weibo post with a weak sense of provocation. Far worse than Lu Xiaobus comment. It shows, hes still not confident enough! Then, Lu Xiaobu: "Ill shoot you down, you shit-eating fooljpg." "Pfft! Hahaha! 66666!" "Awesome! Awesome! Lu Xiaobu is insanely cool!" "Hahaha, Im dying of laughter, addicted to eating poop? Isnt this describing Wei Zhong as talking crap!" "That insult is savage." "When it comes to insulting, no one beats Lu Xiaobu!" "No way, no way, Im saving this picture, for real, if someone insults me, Im using this image as my reply!" "Wei Zhong, keep going!" "..." Seeing that meme, Wei Zhong was green with rage! Damn it, youre the one addicted to shit! Are you trying to be hurtful or what! I just said you are arrogant, and you hit back with three insults. First, you say youll shoot me, then you call me addicted to eating poop, and lastly, you mock me as a stupid dog! Lu Xiaobu, you bastard! And also, those netizens encouraging him to continue. Dont think I dont know what youre up to! You just want to see Lu Xiaobu use images to insult me and enjoy the drama, right? To hell with it, Im bowing out, whoever cares! Wei Zhong finally figured out, he was no match for Lu Xiaobu. Better let Lu Xiaobu find someone else to pick on! Wei Zhongs Weibo was silent for a long time. The netizens immediately erupted in boos. "Boo! And you dared provoke Lu Xiaobu! Three memes and you chickened out?!" "Shame! Shameful!" "Still vying for Lus team? Still Vanguard?! Rubbish!" "When it comes to insults, it still has to be Lu Xiaobu!" "Incontestable!" "But now that Wei Zhong isnt replying, doesnt that mean Lu Xiaobu will stop posting images? Damn, no way!" "Im hooked!" "No worries, no worries, there are so many from Lus team, this is just the appetizer, Lu Xiaobu will definitely target others." "Thats right! Thats right!" "..." S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Just as they speculated, at that moment, Lu Xiaobu was plotting with a sly grin for his next target. Choosing Wei Zhong to dip his toes was just to stir up the netizens interest in memes. Otherwise, if he went and directly clashed with Zhu Haixuan, the advantage of using memes wouldnt have been apparent. So, it had to start with such a warm-up, and then progressively advance. Finally, to end his rival with memes! Chapter 490 - 488: Stealing the Map Dog [Fourth Release, Bonus for Meng Xiaobin’s 10,000 Rewards] Chapter 490: Chapter 488: Stealing the Map Dog [Fourth Release, Bonus for Meng Xiaobins 10,000 Rewards]Just like the netizens said, the Anti-Lu Group has started posting pictures too. But their pictures are way too weak. As mentioned before, most of the pictures from this era still stick to the most ancient type. Even the pictures used for insulting are so feeble! Compared to Lu Xiaobus era-defining new mean-spirited pictures, they are just pathetically weak! So, that so-called strategistFang Yunlong. Once again became a defeated subordinate! Lu Xiaobu was even too lazy to have a formal duel with this repeatedly defeated loser, casually tossing out two pictures and then skipping over. This really pissed off Fang Yunlong! "F*ck! Lu Xiaobu, you and I are irreconcilable!" Fang Yunlong was so mad he even smashed his computer. Do you guys know how much he prepared? Lu Xiaobus dark past, plus his own analyses and summaries, a whole gigabyte! Later, when he saw Lu Xiaobu manipulating public opinion with meme packages, he immediately searched up a lot of pictures and stocked them here for backup! And the result?! F*ck! Lu Xiaobu just glanced at him like looking at a fly, then turned around and left! Left! Just walked away like that! Moreover, he took all the netizens surrounding his Weibo with him! Before Lu Xiaobu arrived, every Weibo post he made had at least fifty or sixty thousand likes and shares! Now?! Just freaking three! Lu! Xia! Bu! Fang Yunlongs face turned red! Whats even more infuriating than losing a battle?! Being completely ignored by your opponent! Its like you brought flowers, a diamond ring, a sports car to confess to your goddess. Then the goddess just took a glance at you, uttered "Haha," and went to have dinner with someone else, leaving you kneeling alone on the sports field! Tell me if thats not awkward and infuriating! ... "Enough, lets launch a full-scale offensive." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and said. Whatever deputy group leader or not, it doesnt matter. Just directly confront that loser! Said and done, Lu Xiaobu immediately opened Zhu Haixuans Weibo. And at this moment, Zhu Haixuans face was a shade of livid. Lu Xiaobus temperament, he somewhat understood, so right from the start, just like Fang Yunlong, he prepared countless dark histories, negative materials. Just to completely disfigure Lu Xiaobu when the time comes! To utterly drown Lu Xiaobu in public opinion! And the result?! They made a good initial impact, and the groundwork was laid well, just waiting for Lu Xiaobu to come knocking! But Lu freaking parachuted in, directly smashing his arsenal! Freaking painful! Now, all the dark histories are useless. His weapons are all wasted! However, he doesnt plan on admitting defeat. A strong desire to win flickered in Zhu Haixuans eyes! He must win! No matter what, he must! As long as he wins, everything is negotiable, history is always written by the victors! Isnt it just meme packages? Since youve sent them out, dont blame me for using your own meme packages against you. What?! You say hes also a scholar, and hes using such methods? And its even stealing pictures?! Haha, I told you, you wouldnt understand, dealing with trash requires methods tailored for trash. And you, Bibi, you bunch of trash will similarly be bashed by me! ... Because of Zhu Haixuans thoughts. Right when Lu Xiaobu just posted a meme. Lu Xiaobu received a counterattack. Zhu Haixuan: "Youre so cocky, but can you recite the multiplication table of 99? jpg" This is Lu Xiaobus picture! Of course, it wasnt posted from Zhu Haixuans main account, but from a secondary account of his disciple. After all, hes a public figure and cares about his image! However, netizens still exploded! Come on, whos being foolish here?! Nobody is! "Holy crap! Zhu Haixuan, got any shame left?" "This is Lu Xiaobus image! And now you use it against him!?" "Wheres your face?! Wheres your face?!" "Truly shameless!" But, since Zhu Haixuan decided to use this method, how could he be unprepared?! So, the people he arranged started talking! "Whats going on?! Who said this is Lu Xiaobus picture?" "Right, just because Lu Xiaobu posted it first, does it become his?!" "Also, its not even an image posted by old Zhu, its posted by someone else, why are you all blindly accusing?!" "A bunch of trolls, still got the nerve to talk!" "Besides, to deal with trash, you must use this method!" "Its Lu Xiaobu who forced our hand, blaming us?!" This is sheer shamelessness, its hard to imagine that someone who could found a school would do such a thing. No wonder they say, the world is full of wonders. Netizens were all speaking out for Lu Xiaobu. An elder from the Writers Association also paid attention to this bizarre fight, and upon seeing Zhu Haixuan posting Lu Xiaobus image, he sighed, "Zhu Haixuan, Zhu Haixuan, the moment you started following Lu Xiaobus lead after becoming the head, you already lost!" For a literati, a founder of a school, winning the battle but losing integrity, is that really winning or losing?! Obviously losing! History is indeed written by the victors, but you shouldnt treat everyone else as fools! Moreover, have you really won over Lu Xiaobu?! "Interesting, huh, stealing images?!" Lu Xiaobus lips curled into a cold smirk as he turned to Tang Geng, "Make me a set of images." Stealing images?! Earth has countless memes for dealing with image theft! "Huh?" Tang Geng dumbly, unconsciously responded. He was dumbfounded, he never imagined that the images which were jokes at school are so popular now. Of course, hes not foolish, he knows all this popularity is because of Young Master Bu. Without Young Master Bu, his images would still be jokes, but in Young Master Bus hands, they became a rookie sensation! Young Master Bu, too awesome! "What are you thinking! Hurry up and make them!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes at Tang Geng. "Oh, oh, oh, Mr. Lu, as you say!" Tang Geng immediately snapped back to reality, excitedly responded. Soon! Lu Xiaobu: "Look quick, the image-thief dog has barked, only knows how to steal Daddys images.jpg" This image shook all corners. "Hahaha, Zhu Haixuan made a fool of himself!" "Image theft? Its original! It made you call daddy!" "Still stealing? Embarrassing!" "Did you see?!" "Image thief! Shameful!" Is this over? No, this is just the beginning! Lu Xiaobu: "A bunch of image-thief dogs, not qualified to speak to me.jpg" Lu Xiaobu: "Second-hand images, again second-hand images, besides stealing images, you have no novelty.jpg" Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu: "Stealing images..." Lu Xiaobu directly produced eighteen memes mocking the image thief. He named themSubdue Thief Eighteen Forms! Good lord, the power of this move is truly earth-shaking! Chapter 491 - 489: The Culture of Emoji Battles [5th update, bonus - for recommendation votes] Chapter 491: Chapter 489: The Culture of Emoji Battles [5th update, bonus Chapter for recommendation votes]Zhu Haixuan was still desperately collecting pictures previously posted by Lu Xiaobu. Result. Lu Xiaobus set of eighteen anti-piracy images directly stupefied him! Dammit! Where did Lu Xiaobu even find so many images?! Actually, if it were about making stuff up, he could do it too! But if such images cant catch the publics eye, whats the point? These memes may look simple, but actually, they require inspiration and groundwork; its not just about slapping a few words on and calling it a meme. The expression in the picture, the text above, both need to mesh well together! "Bring it on! Keep it up!jpg!" Lu Xiaobu continues to post images. Motherfucker, youre battling me with pics?! Not going to let you get the better of me! Is Zhu Haixuan going to continue? Why the hell would he continue! Its like everyone was originally poking each other with spears and throwing javelins; I throw a javelin back at you as soon as you throw one at me. But then, just after Ive thrown one back, you whip out a Gatling gun belching blue flames C how the heck am I supposed to play now, dumbass?! Better to cut your losses early, then blame the piracy on someone else to minimize the damage! So, waving the white flag, hoisting the "Dont Shoot" sign, and throwing out a scapegoat became his next move. "Youre hanging a truce sign with me?!" Lu Xiaobu laughed with disdain: "Tang Geng, you trash-talk him for me, use my account, and blast him twenty-four hours a day!" "Yes, Boss Lu!" Tang Geng immediately promised! ... In the following days, Zhu Haixuans life was like living in hell. Lu Xiaobus Weibo seemed to have gone haywire, endlessly bombarding him with various memes around the clock. What a situation; he didnt even dare to open Weibo. Sometimes, just by opening Weibo, hed be bombarded until his device practically crashed! Your moms a bitch! Where the hell did you get so many images?! ... At the same time, due to this incident, the culture of picture battles gradually took shape online! Countless young people started to collect memes made by Tang Geng and began to use them fiercely across different platforms! They were battling it out joyfully every day! Later on, the images made by just Tang Geng alone could no longer satisfy their needs. Countless people started to create their own memes, then brought them into all kinds of battles! It was as if the sky and earth were dim, the sun and the moon without light! There was even a time where it was almost impossible to find text online, all filled with memes! Who knows how many peoples phones crashed because of these meme battles! Interestingly, because of this, the sales of the Shadow mobile phones actually went up. No choice, other phones were too laggy. Oh well, it didnt really make that much, just casually raked in tens of millions, really not much! Cough cough cough! And that wasnt the end. This culture of picture battling initiated by Lu Xiaobu, with the internet fanning the flames, continued to spread like wildfire! It spread at such a terrifying speed! Very soon, the culture of picture battling was no longer confined to just regular netizens. The Voice coach Chen Wen on Weibo: "My English name is, World Fort Dear. Wower River So Hot. jpg" Counteract. His wife, The Voice coach Fang Li came out with: "You better watch your mouth, my three-dollar flip flops arent just for show. jpg" Chen Wen immediately cowered: "My dear wife, I was wrong! .jpg" Fang Li laughed heartily: "I appreciate you very much. jpg" The netizens laughed their heads off. "Munching melon masses. jpg" "Slurping noodle masses. jpg" "My titanium dog eyes. jpg" "After eating this dog food. jpg" "Wheres the integrity. jpg" "..." Not only them, even the Queen of Heaven Sun Wanqi joined in the fun: "Shes the prettiest Ive ever seen. jpg" And next to this meme was a picture of herself. Netizens are having a blast. "This is a full-score performance jpg" Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You must be a Lu based on your act jpg" "Judging by the way you strut, you must be one of the Lu family jpg" "Look into the babys eyes and say that again jpg" "..." Alright, there were lots of meme images about Lu Xiaobu in the evening. And apart from the above kind of Lu family series, 80% of the rest are classic quotes of Lu Xiaobu. Such as. "A reward of five thousand! jpg" "Zhang Meng, go! jpg" "Im just a prodigal, got a problem with that? jpg" "Believe it or not, I can crush you with money? jpg" "There are two things you cant beat me at, one, you cant be a bigger spendthrift than me, two, you cant out-lazy me jpg" "Dont try to compete with me, you cant beat me, and Im too lazy to bother with you jpg" "Trying to show off to me? Do you even know who Lu Xiaobu is? jpg" "Please refer to me as the master of meme combat, hurry up and worship me jpg" "..." Anyway, Lu Xiaobu was played to death online, all kinds of images being thrown around! There was even a dedicated website for Lu Xiaobu meme images. Lu Xiaobu himself was quite amused by this, as long as these rascals werent maliciously messing with him, he didnt mind at all. In fact, he even thought it was well done. It really had flavor, like that A reward of five thousand! jpg was crafted with so much charisma! Oh, right, its worth mentioning that Lu Xiaobus disciple, and the instigator of this whole affair, the female top studentZhang Shilin, hasnt said a word from beginning to end. Lu Xiaobu was puzzled and even called her to ask about it. Do you know what she said? Her exact words were. "Boring! A group of people who could be swimming in the sea of books, engaging in cultural exchange, yet have fallen into a low and childish struggle, filled with utilitarianism! I refuse to waste my time on such so-called struggles and recognition!" Listen to how she phrased it. So moving, so full of integrity, so magnanimously upright. Even Lu Xiaobu himself was deeply touched after hearing it. Then... He had Tang Geng create a meme image for Zhang Shilin. "All of you are low and juvenile jpg" "Boring jpg" "Only knowledge can comfort the soul jpg" "Wasting time is shameful jpg" "..." Yeah, after they were done, they uploaded them online. Man, they were on fire! They were even hotter than Lu Xiaobus meme images for a while. No way around it, Zhang Shilin, that serious-looking top student, her earnest eyes, and expression were just too earnest. They worked magic paired up with any text. For example. Zhang Shilins version of You idiot jpg. Do you know what it feels like seeing this image? Its like when you were at school, and your teacher glared at you, then earnestly told you "You idiot!" How could this image not be a hit?! It would be against all reason if it werent! So freaking dominant! And like, another of Lu Xiaobus favorite images. Zhang Shilins version of Arent you supposed to be writing? jpg! That look, that gesture, oh the dominance! Lu Xiaobu made this image, enlarged it, and hung it in the little black room for torturing writers! One for each room, and then hung the biggest one in the living room! Man, the writers typing speed soared! Talk about fast! Hahaha! So thrilling! Scaring all you street authors to death, hahaha! Chapter 492 - 490: Where is Your Embarrassment? [1st Update] Chapter 492: Chapter 490: Where is Your Embarrassment? [1st Update]Time has flown by, and now weve reached June, with the weather heating up again. Not just the weather, but peoples hearts are also warming up, because this period is the busiest of all. First, Emperor Electric School informed us about some kind of annual assessment, and Principal Li called three times a day, insisting that Lu Xiaobu at least go through the motions. Then theres "The Voice," which is about to wrap up, and that also comes with a heap of things to deal with. And theres the preparation for the LOL S1 season about to start. None of these are small matters, so much so that after consulting with Lu Xiaobu, Liang Lan temporarily put aside the renovation work at Qian Island Lake, letting Su Luoxue help her manage these important affairs. Lu Xiaobu expressed understanding, after all, these were all things he impulsively started, cough cough cough! Everyones busy, and Lu Xiaobu is no exception. Because you have to eat your rice one bite at a time. So, Lu Xiaobu decided to go to Emperor Electric University first. No choice, Principal Li had put it in such a way that if he really didnt show up and go through the formalities, it would truly be crossing a line. After all, where doesnt one sleep, its all the same! Arriving at the school, Principal Li personally waited at the entrance for Lu Xiaobu: "Xiaobu, you finally made it." "Come on, its just an exam, you had me personally come, and youre even waiting for me at the door, is it really necessary?" Lu Xiaobu was speechless. To him, what did an exam matter? Worst case, hed just fail, right? Cough cough cough! "This time its different, there are many people from other schools coming to observe, and even a big director is here to judge. Theyre all here for you," Principal Li said urgently: "Didnt I tell you about this on the phone?" "Uhh... did you?" Lu Xiaobu was perplexed, then scratched his head: "Maybe that was when I was irritated, and I threw the phone away." "Pfft!" Principal Li felt like hed been stabbed in the chest: "So you mean, when you didnt respond on the phone, it wasnt because you were angry, but because you didnt hear it at all?" "Ah." Lu Xiaobu nodded earnestly. Cant help it, this honest kid doesnt lie. "Pfft!" Another stab! "Forget it, forget it." Principal Li waved his hand, as past grievances choked him up with emotion; he couldnt bear to look back. "Tell me again, how do I go through this formality?" Lu Xiaobu, seeing Principal Lis state, felt somewhat embarrassed: "If possible, I think Ill try to pass the exam." "Huh!" Principal Li breathed a sigh of relief, finding some comfort in those words, and then he described: "This exam is divided into three parts: recitation, group skit, and oral test..." "Goodbye!" Lu Xiaobu didnt wait for Principal Li to finish and turned to leave. What the heck? Three parts to the exam? Theres recitation, skits, and oral tests. Too much trouble, I couldnt care less. "Huh?!" Principal Lis mouth twitched as he hurriedly stopped Lu Xiaobu: "Didnt you promise to go through with it, even try to pass the exam?" "Did I say that?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Principal Li with all seriousness, then turned to Zhang Meng: "Zhang Meng, did I say that?" "No!" Zhang Meng shook his head immediately. "You see, I didnt, right. Remember to eat more Brain Black Gold when youre older, its good for you." Lu Xiaobu nodded earnestly, then continued to leave. What? Youre asking about Lu Xiaobus embarrassment? What embarrassment?! No embarrassment at all. "Pfft!" Principal Li felt his heart crumbling. So shameless, and youre asking Zhang Meng. Why dont you ask yourself?! Seeing Lu Xiaobu about to leave, Principal Li hurriedly pulled him back: "Xiaobu, please, really help out! Oh right, theres something else, that director, hes a switch director!" "What does a switch director have to do with me?" Lu Xiaobu still wanted to leave. "No, wait! To put it in common language, hes a live director, and hes especially interested in esports. Hes specifically come for you!" Principal Li quickly corrected his mistake. sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hmm?" Lu Xiaobu stopped in his tracks: "A live director? Interested in esports?" "Exactly, exactly!" Principal Li exhaled in relief, as Lu Xiaobu finally showed interest. "If thats the case, I might be interested." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, indeed piqued. For esports competitions, a good live director is very important. A good live director can analyze the situation and show the most exciting moments to the audience. A bad live director can cause the audience to completely miss all the highlights. "See, right?" Principal Li wiped his sweat and said: "So, meet him at least." "Alright then, lets go, and meet him." Lu Xiaobu nodded, he had to watch the competition anyway, and its better to make it good. "Great, great! Theyve already started the exam, Ill take you there!" Principal Li said quickly. ... Lu Xiaobu followed Principal Li to the exam venue. "Are you in a hurry? If you are, I can see if I can cut in line for you," said Principal Li cautiously. It couldnt be helped, otherwise Lu Xiaobu might just run off. "No need, Ill just watch here, and also check out how good the live director is." Lu Xiaobu sat in the chair, watching the ongoing exam. "Alright then." Principal Li, seeing Lu Xiaobus keen interest, finally relaxed. Nearby students started whispering to each other when they saw Principal Lis demeanor. "Sss? Whos that? Why does our principal seem so insignificant?" "Yeah, even with many celebrity students, they dont dare to talk big in front of the principal! How come this guy is so remarkable?" A student who was memorizing poetry looked up and said: "Hehe, his name is Lu Xiaobu, what do you think?" "Sss! Lu Xiaobu!? No wonder!" "Indeed, indeed! I thought he looked familiar, but he doesnt resemble the one in the memes that much!" "Nonsense, a photo is a photo, the person is the person, can a photo really capture that temperament and feeling?" "True, the last time I was at the airport, someone walked past me. I didnt react at all. Later on, I realized it was the big star Song Dao; I didnt even recognize him!" "Get ready, lets focus now." "..." While chatting, the students looked enviously at Lu Xiaobu. After all, there are too many legends about Lu Xiaobu. The simplest and most straightforward one: if you run into Lu Xiaobu, its like meeting the God of Wealth, with at least five thousand yuan guaranteed. Honestly, if they werent currently in an exam, theyd be over there buttering him up right now! A few words for five thousand yuan, why not if its free! Lu Xiaobu didnt pay any attention to them, focusing on the exam instead. To be honest, he didnt understand what he was seeing, but you have to keep up appearances! Chapter 493 - 491 No Emotions [Second Update] Chapter 493: Chapter 491 No Emotions [Second Update]Lu Xiaobu felt sleepy while listening to the recitations inside. Suddenly, he remembered something. What should he recite for the exam later?! Damn it! He had forgotten about it! When it rains, it pours! Just then. "Next, Lu Xiaobu!" His name was called inside. It was his turn. Motherfucker, what should he recite?! "Is Lu Xiaobu here?" He was being urged from inside again, and one of the examiners had already come out, staring straight at Lu Xiaobu. This examiner was someone Lu Xiaobu knew. It was Sun Ye, who was pursuing him to become his apprentice! Clearly, it was too late to flee now! Lu Xiaobu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in. Screw it, he decided to recite that one! Entering the examination venue. There were three examiners, one was Sun Ye, one was the director who wanted to see Lu Xiaobu, and the last was a teacher from their school. Since it was Lu Xiaobu, they even skipped the step of self-introduction! "Mr. Lu, what are you going to recite?" Sun Ye asked eagerly. If it werent for his position as an examiner, he would have rushed out to kowtow and request apprenticeship! "Cough cough!" Lu Xiaobu stood up straight and coughed. Upon hearing his cough. All three examiners sat up straight and proper. They couldnt help but be nervous. Even though they were the examiners, the person in front of them, although younger in age, could be their teacher in many aspects. Not to mention the aspect of money. In terms of directing, a single "A Chinese Odyssey" blew everyone away! In recitation and literature, Lu Xiaobu was indeed a heavyweight that shook the literary world. How could they not be nervous? They had been speculating even before Lu Xiaobu came in. What was Lu Xiaobu going to recite this time? Was it "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" or "The Horses Discourse"? Whichever it was, hearing the original authors recitation would be an honor for them! Then! Lu Xiaobu finally spoke up. All three examiners held their breath! Even the students outside the examination room became tense, more so than during their own exams! They really had high expectations! Finally! Lu Xiaobu began! "This New Year, no gifts accepted, ah, no gifts, no gifts; the only gift Ill accept is Brain Black Gold, hey, black gold!" "Pfft!" Sun Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire face turning green! Motherfucker! Please excuse my swearing! Otherwise, I am going to suffocate! Mr. Lu, are you crazy?! This is a recitation exam! Even if you dont recite your masterpiece, any random poem would do! What is this supposed to mean?! Ad jingles?! How is this any form of poetry? What kind of recitation is this?! The director who wanted to meet Lu XiaobuCai Longalso had an agonized expression. Oh Lord! He had heard that Lu Xiaobus strength was being unpredictable, but he didnt expect it to be this off-script?! This isnt just being off-script anymore, this is practically shooting for the skies! "Black Gold" too?! Do you think you havent tortured us enough with your ads?! As for the third examiner, the teacher, she was driven insane! She didnt even know what to say anymore! Even the students outside the examination room, upon hearing Lu Xiaobus recitation, felt like coughing up blood for three kilometers! Fuck you, Lu Xiaobu! Are you still human?! This is recitation! Recitation! What are you reading, an advertisement?! And its not even over yet. The most infuriating part is, Lu Xiaobu can actually say with a straight face: "Thank you to the three judges, my recitation is complete, please score me!" Score your f***ing... Score! Do we have no shame at all?! You still expect the judges to score you?! If they really were judges, theyd have booted you out already! However, what they thought would happen. The three judges didnt hustle Lu Xiaobu away; instead, after calming their emotions, they exchanged glances and actually started questioning Lu Xiaobu. "Mr. Lu, may I ask what was your purpose in choosing this..." Sun Ye said with an agonized expression, he just couldnt bring himself to say the word "poetry"! "Speech!" The female judge added from one side. "Yes, speech! Why did you choose this?!" Sun Ye let out a sigh. "Why? No reason, because its short." Lu Xiaobu stated as if it were obvious. Of course, lets not talk about the fact that he hadnt memorized anything else! "Pfft!" Everyone once again took a critical hit of ten thousand points! Your reasoning is so sound, Im left speechless! Can you tell us why youre so confident?! "Huff! Huff! Huff!" Sun Ye was clutching his chest, panting on the side. No, my chest hurts! After a while, his emotions stabilized again, but this time, there was a hint of anger. Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He didnt care about Lu Xiaobus directing ability anymore; he was a judge now, and he was asking about the audition! "Mr. Lu! Please tell us, how do you understand recitation?!" Sun Ye asked sharply. "And how do you understand recitation?!" Lu Xiaobu sat down on a chair. He knew this old mans temper; if you dont bamboozle him... cough, cough, wrong, if you dont convince him. He will keep on pestering you! So, bring it on! "Recitation, recite means to be clear and loud; citation means to recite from memory. Recitation is the art of expressing the thoughts and emotions of a piece of work perfectly using a clear and loud voice, combined with various linguistic techniques." Sun Ye, as a professor, defined it effortlessly! "Dont tell me all this, what I want is the meaning conveyed by recitation." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, not interested in listening. "Meaning? The reciter has to make the listener understand the implications of the poetry, the emotions of the poetry!" Sun Ye said once more. Sun Yes statement was absolutely correct; the other two judges were nodding their heads in agreement. Even the auditionees outside the door started clapping! "Great! I completely agree!" Lu Xiaobu also clapped, showing his agreement. "Since you agree, then why did you?!" Sun Ye was so angry he was almost at a loss for words! "Let me finish." Lu Xiaobu gestured with his hand, saying with a sly smile: "When I recited, did you not have any emotions or visuals?" "Think about it more carefully, isnt there the image of two old geezers jumping around blindly? Dont you have that?" "Then emotions, if you guys had no emotions, would you be so angry right now that you want to spit blood?! Still dare to say no emotions!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the scene fell into silence! If you listen carefully, you could hear countless "pfft! pfft! pfft!" sounds! What kind of sound is that?! Its a heartbreaking sound! Every word that Lu Xiaobu uttered was piercing their chests! Damn you! But wasnt there imagery?! Theyve been brainwashed for so long; not to mention imagery, the fact that they didnt jump up and prance themselves is nothing short of extraordinary self-control! And about emotions! Wanting to hack you to death with a knife is also an emotion, isnt it?! F***! Theres even such an interpretation! Lu Xiaobu, you damn bastard! Chapter 494 - 492 Okay, Let’s Go [3rd Update Bonus - for Votes] Chapter 494: Chapter 492 Okay, Lets Go [3rd Update Bonus Chapter for Votes]After hearing Lu Xiaobus explanation, who knows how many people went crazy. This twisted logic, its just too twisted! So twisted its beyond ridicule! "So according to what youre saying, why even recite poetry?! Just go recite some erotic fiction! Its got emotion, its got imagery!" Sun Ye was just seething! Then! "Great idea!" Lu Xiaobus eyes suddenly lit up: "There might even be a reaction! Come on, who wants to give it a go?!" "Pfft!" The whole crowd lost it! A great idea?! How could you even say that?! Im totally floored! Absolutely floored! "Young Master Lu, why dont you step down now!" Cai Long felt his head buzzing and could only say so. They couldnt go on any longer, or theyd all end up vomiting blood and dying! However, as a professional director who had actual experience and had even won awards, he felt a different kind of emotion swelling in his heart. His years of experience led him to a conclusion. Why did so many directors produce no works after graduation?! A large reason is their pedantic mindset, not striving for excellence but avoiding mistakes. A great movie, one that could be legendary, might not always be the first of its kind, but it definitely carries a directors personal touch and ideas! Perhaps its precisely because of Lu Xiaobus unconventional thought process that he could create a legendary work like A Chinese Odyssey! "Totally OK!" Lu Xiaobu immediately nodded and turned to leave. Really now, wouldnt it have been fine to do this earlier? Insisting on debating! He was just going through the motions but you had to take it so seriously! After Lu Xiaobu left, the examination was paused for half an hour. There was no helping it; whether it was the examiners or the examinees, everyone needed a breather - their insides were hurting! ... The exam continued. After the recitation part was done, they moved on to the second segment: group skits. Recitation assessed artistic expression and aesthetic preferences. Group skits tested thinking ability, teamwork, expression, and adaptability. After all, the topics were random and improvised! The examiners gave everyone a bit of time to rehearse. Nothing much to talk about for this part. After all, Lu Xiaobus own plot arrangement went like this. Someone said to him: "Your hands are dirty, go wash them." Then. Lu Xiaobu would say: "Okay." And so, Lu Xiaobu left! Yep, he just walked right out the door! Until the performance was over, he didnt come back. You all dont know. When Lu Xiaobu said okay and then just walked out the door, the three examiners were like theyd gone mad. Damn! Damn! A huge damn! What the hell are you doing?! The whole act was just one line, showing your face, and off to wash your hands?! If you were in a movie, you wouldnt even make it into the bloopers, okay!? Youre amazing! Youre freaking amazing! And playing around like this! ... Lu Xiaobu finally bluffed his way to the third stage the oral exam! Yep, he wasnt scared at all! But the three examiners were terrified! Just a recitation and a couple of casual questions had almost killed them, and now they had to conduct an oral exam?! Ask questions?! Who dares to ask?! If theyre not careful, theyll have to dial 120 [emergency number]! But, the exam must go on. In the end, Cai Long gritted his teeth and asked, "Who among you is physically fit?!" This question signified only those with good physical health could conduct the oral examination for Lu Xiaobu. Otherwise, no way! The other two examiners fell silent. "Forget it, Ill do it!" Cai Long had no choice but to bite the bullet and step up. ... Lu Xiaobu entered, took a seat, and looked at the three examiners. At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange. Because Lu Xiaobu was now completely at ease, while the three examiners were on tenterhooks! They had no choice; the three of them had been previously tricked by Lu Xiaobu, and now the aura emanating from him was suffocating them! This was the complete opposite of how the other students had entered the room! Cai Long mustered up his courage, with the support of the other examiners, opened his mouth, ready to speak! But then. "What is your name?" Lu Xiaobu spoke first. "Im Cai Long!" Cai Long immediately replied. "I heard youre interested in electronic sports?" "Yes, I am personally an experienced player, currently at Diamond I." "Have you ever had experience directing electronic sports events?" "Ive directed a city competition before, Ive brought my video, you can take a look." "Alright, send it to the company, say its on my orders." "Yes!" "Also, youd better be clear, if I made you the director, it wont just be our domestic competitions, but Ill also entrust you with the upcoming global event. Are you confident you can handle it?!" "Yes!" "Not bad, alright, wait for the notice!" "Thank you, Young Master Lu!" The conversation concluded. Lu Xiaobu still sat in his seat, while Cai Long stood there, his expression utterly sincere! "Pfft!" Sun Ye and the female examiner felt their livers ache! What the hell is this? Who is being interviewed here?! Isnt this supposed to be Lu Xiaobus interview?! Why the hell are you, Cai Long, answering the questions?! "Alright, Im leaving." Lu Xiaobu stood up, waved his hand, and said. "Okay, take care." Cai Long hurriedly saw Lu Xiaobu off. After Lu Xiaobu left, Cai Long looked up at the ceiling: "Is there something not right here?!" "No kidding!" Sun Ye couldnt hold back any longer, and burst out shouting: "Director Cai! You are a great director! Didnt you agree to interview Lu Xiaobu? How did it turn into him interviewing you?!" "Uh..." Cai Long finally realized what had happened, and his face was immediately covered with embarrassment: "Cough cough cough, well, this and that! How should I put it! I need to use the restroom!" He hurriedly made his escape! This was terribly embarrassing! He truly loved electronic sports; not only had he directed electronic sports events, but he had also participated in competitions. Of course, he was definitely eliminated. However, his soul for e-sports did not die, but rather burned even brighter. He looked at the domestic competition scene and was truly heartbroken. This was a game from the Heavenly Dynasty, but it had turned out like this. He may not be the savior, but he could become a soldier under the savior! And Lu Xiaobu was that savior! Thats why he just couldnt help himself just now! ... Anyway, having fulfilled the task promised to Principal Li, Lu Xiaobu immediately took off. Speaking bluntly, maintaining a good relationship with Principal Li is necessary. After all, Principal Li is a person who has a say in both the literary and entertainment circles. It didnt matter before, but now that the Lu Family has an invisible, unpredictable enemythe Lin Familyit has become necessary.

Chapter 495 - 493: Seats Determine Status [4th Update Bonus - for Recommendation Votes] Chapter 495: Chapter 493: Seats Determine Status [4th Update Bonus Chapter for Recommendation Votes]Due to many matters, Lu Xiaobu, who is usually laziness incarnate, had no choice but to bustle about this time. Today is the finale of "The Voice". The event is well managed by Liang Lan on site, so theres no need for Xiaobu to worry, but as the big boss, it wouldnt be right if he didnt show up at the end. However, his so-called appearance was not to be on stage, but at the celebration banquet. ... He arrived at the restaurant. Zhang Meng opened the private room door. Xiaobu walked in. Just as he entered, a chorus of cheers erupted. "Welcome, Young Master Bu!" "Welcome, Young Master Bu!" "Young Master Bu, youve finally arrived!" "..." "Alright, alright." Lu Xiaobu chuckled: "Reward, five thousand each!" "Thanks, Young Master Bu, Young Master Bu, may you dominate Jianghu for all eternity!" Everyone immediately stood up to express their gratitude. Of course, these grateful ones were the contestants of The Voice, as well as members of the production team. As for the four coaches, they certainly wouldnt exhibit such behavior. "Young Master Lu, please take this seat!" The director of Shimen TV Station, Mr. Nie, ushered Lu Xiaobu to the seat of honor. Hed been wanting to hold a celebration banquet for a while now, because for him, and for Shimen TV Station, each season of "The Voice" had brought miraculous ratings. All worth celebrating. Its just that since Xiaobu had not come before, they found it inappropriate to celebrate without him. After all, 99.9% of the credit was due to Young Master Lu! "Uh-huh." Xiaobu didnt refuse and took his seat at the head of the table. Director Nie sat to his left; proceeding from there down, the front seats were occupied by the production team, with Zhang Feng, Elder Wang and the others all in the lineup. Sun Wanqi and the other three coaches were all seated to the right of Xiaobu. The remaining seats were filled by the students of The Voice. The seating arrangement reflected the hierarchy! "Lets, first and foremost, raise a toast to Young Master Lu." It was only fitting that Director Nie, being the station head, was the first to speak. Upon hearing Director Nies words, everyone swiftly raised their glasses. "This toast is in gratitude to Young Master Lu. Many here have realized dreams and transformed their lives thanks to Young Master Lus season of The Voice. Even our TV station has gone from an ignored trashy station to a sought-after broadcaster. And all this, Young Master Lu bestowed upon us. Lets all raise our glasses in honor of Young Master Lu!" Director Nie spoke with an excited flush on his face. "To Young Master Lu!" Everyone called out in unison. Gratitude and excitement could be seen in everyones eyes. Indeed, the changes in their lives were brought about by Young Master Lus "The Voice." Wu Mei, once mocked for her loud voice, was now a sought-after singer, with numerous agencies eager to sign her. Not only had she realized her dream, but she also made her dream valuable! This was given to her by Young Master Lu! Ning Feiping, who used to be too shy to show his face, now had a renowned name in the music industry. He dares to speak and sing now, because "The Voice" stage has earned him acceptance by everyone! This was bestowed upon him by Young Master Lu! Old Master Zeng Chenggong even remarried his spouse. He didnt seek to pursue further fame in the music industry because he already had everything he wanted C he was content! This was helped to fruition by Young Master Lu! ... Not to mention the singers. Zhang Feng, who used to be a second-rate producer, was unrecognizable outside Shimen TV Station. And now? Countless shows wanted to poach him, numerous TV stations invited him over. The man who once prepared to drift through life somehow learned what it feels like to get a raise and a promotion once again! This, too, was conferred upon him by Young Master Lu! Their minds were swirling with a myriad of thoughts, but there was one thing they all wanted to say. "Thank you, Young Master Lu!" Everyone shouted in sync, and then drank their glasses in one go. *COUGH COUGH COUGH!* Some people who cant handle alcohol started tearing up from the spiciness. And as for those who could handle their liquor, tears streamed down their faces as well! Its not the wine that intoxicates, but the drinker who allows themselves to become intoxicated! "Alright, here I go." Lu Xiaobu raised his glass, looking around the group, and downed it in one gulp. Seeing Lu Xiaobus action, everyone couldnt help but feel an inexplicable sense of gratitude. They might have a little fame now, but in front of Young Master Lu, what were they? Just a fart! And what about Young Master Lu? He didnt put on any airs at all, drinking his glass in one go as well! That respect warmed their hearts even more. "Okay, now that you all have said your piece, let me say a few words," Sun Wanqi elegantly raised her glass and looked at Lu Xiaobu, "I should thank you too." "Oh? Are you proposing to offer yourself in marriage?" The teasing words flowed naturally from Lu Xiaobus mouth. "Uh..." Sun Wanqi was taken aback. Lu Xiaobu, have you gone mad?! There are so many people watching. "Giggle!" Fang Li covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, stepping in to break the tension, "Young Master Bu, stop teasing Sister Sun, or be carefulshe might take you seriously!" "That would be a loss for me." Lu Xiaobu nodded in agreement. "Lu Xiaobu!" Sun Wanqi muttered through gritted teeth. At this moment, she almost wished she could throw the wine in her hand all over Lu Xiaobu! Lose out? What does that mean?! Im the Queen of Heaven, for heavens sake. Even if I really did offer myself in marriage, how would you be at a loss?! Wait, no! I shouldnt even entertain this topic! "Phew!" Sun Wanqi took a deep breath and calmed her emotions, "Alright, down the hatch." With those words, Sun Wanqi also downed her drink in one go. "Tsk tsk tsk, such a good tolerance for alcohol, huh?" Lu Xiaobu teased and then took another drink in one gulp. A joke should be stopped at the right moment, after all, there are so many people around. "Now its my turn." Chen Wen stood up, lifted his glass with utmost sincerity looking at Lu Xiaobu, "Young Master Bu, I wont go on about my gratitude. Since Xiao Li cant drink now, Ill take her place. Ill do three to your one!" He was the most grateful to Lu Xiaobu among the four mentors. After all, besides a musical feast, Lu Xiaobu had also given him a child! He really couldnt put his gratitude into words. Thus, he picked up his glass and chugged three in a row"clang clang clang"! Having drunk a bit too quickly, he even started to feel a bit dizzy. Despite that, he still wore a silly smile! It showed just how thankful he was to Lu Xiaobu! "You really are..." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes in exasperation and also took one. "Since everyone is toasting you, then I cant be the exception." Grandma Jia Yi stood up as well. "Oh, my goodness, Grandma, please dont make a fuss." Lu Xiaobu quickly tried to stop her. What if something happened?! "No, I really want to thank you. Youve shown me that theres still hope for our countrys music, that it can go back to the pure musical path!" Grandma Jia Yi said firmly, "However, I cant drink much. Just a token sip!" "Absolutely, absolutely!" Lu Xiaobu quickly agreed and then took another drink with her. The trainees watched this scene with their jaws dropped. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. All four mentors toasting to Young Master Bu?! My goodness! Were they seeing things?! Chapter 496 - 494: Making Another Fortune [Fifth Update, Bonus for Recommendation Tickets] Chapter 496: Chapter 494: Making Another Fortune [Fifth Update, Bonus for Recommendation Tickets]Seeing the mentors toast to Lu Xiaobu! The trainees were all so shocked that their jaws dropped. No wonder they were amazed, after all, mentors and trainees are different. The trainees are given opportunities to develop by others. But the mentors are different, they are invited by the program. What does "invite" mean? That means they are guests. Even though Lu Xiaobu is famous, it should be on an equal footing. But whats happening now?! All four mentors are toasting to Young Master Bu! Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. You need to know that among them is an artist, two kings of the pop scene, and even a Queen of Heaven! Of course, what they dont know is that each of these four people has their own reasons for toasting. Sun Wanqi was toasting with an apology. Chen Wen and Fang Li were truly grateful! While Grandma Jia Yi was offering encouragement! "Alright, alright, lets eat and drink." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and then looked at the "The Voice" playing on TV and asked: "By the way, who won the championship?" "Pfft!" Hearing this, everyone who was still feeling responsible couldnt help laughing. Turns out the finale has finished, and the big boss here doesnt even know who the champion is!? You really are something! Just when the trainees were about to reveal it themselves. "Ahem!" Suddenly, Sun Wanqi coughed, interrupting the trainees upcoming revelation. Everyone turned their eyes to Sun Wanqi. Sun Wanqi looked at Lu Xiaobu and said, "As the big boss, why dont you guess by yourself?" A hint of challenge sparkled in her eyes. Clearly, this was retaliation for Lu Xiaobus previous actions. "No benefit, no guess." Lu Xiaobu immediately refused. "A benefit? Okay! If you can guess it, if you have any programs or such in the future, Ill participate for free, how about that?" Sun Wanqi had a hint of triumph in her eyes, convinced that Lu Xiaobu couldnt possibly guess correctly. "Hey, those are your words." Lu Xiaobus eyebrows perked up. Teach you a trick, always remember, favors are greater than money. Because often, favors can accomplish what money cannot! Of course, the condition is that the other party is someone with status who wont easily back out, as for the deadbeats, better go for the money! "Certainly, but you can only guess once!" Sun Wanqi narrowed her eyes and immediately added. Lu Xiaobus ability to exploit loopholes is too strong, it must be completely blocked. "Tsk tsk tsk, youve learned." Lu Xiaobu muttered regretfully, originally planning to ask one by one. "Also, no coercion or bribery!" Sun Wanqi added another rule. "Hey, okay!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, feeling cornered: "Any more conditions, just say them all." "Those were your words." Sun Wanqi sipped some alcohol, seeming a bit tipsy, and suddenly got playful! She immediately started whispering with Fang Li and Grandma Jia Yi. Before long, they came up with the strictest rule. "No looking at people, no talking, turn around, we give you a list, you only get one guess." Sun Wanqi flashed a fox-like smile. Leaving the surrounding trainees dumbfounded. This is the Queen of Heaven?! Forget it, no soliciting glances, they dont understand the world of the great ones! As for taking photos for exposures? Not to mention whether they dare to pull any stunts in front of Lu Xiaobu, who can make them feel like theyre in heaven or in Hell in an instant, even if they dared, their mobile phones and the like had already been taken away! Just necessary safety measures! "Okay." Lu Xiaobu readily agreed. "Huh?" This made Sun Wanqi furrow her brows. How could Lu Xiaobu still be so confident?! She thought about it and figured there should be no loopholes! Finally, after checking again, indeed there were no loopholes. "Go ahead and guess!" Sun Wanqi gritted her teeth and said. "Alright!" Lu Xiaobu took the list and immediately pointed out a name: "Its him! Cao Wen!" In an instant! Everyone was shocked! "Did he really guess right!?" "That was quick, wasnt it even a second?!" "Young Master Bu is that awesome?!" "No way, he didnt even look?!" "..." Sun Wanqi frowned, staring at Lu Xiaobu: "How did you guess right? Did you know beforehand?!" "How could that be?" Lu Xiaobu spread his hands and said: "Am I that kind of person?" "Then how did you guess right?!" Sun Wanqi still didnt believe it. "Yeah, Young Master Bu, how did you guess right?!" Chen Wen also asked, puzzled. "Young Master Bu, if you didnt cheat, youre really amazing!" Fang Li said with an admiring face: "This person, youve never met him before, how did you guess correctly?!" "Wait a minute!" Grandma Jia Yi suddenly understood and showed a bitter smile: "I think I know now." "Grandma Jia Yi, impressive, experience still counts." Lu Xiaobu gave a thumbs up. "Whats impressive about me! I was just reminded by someone!" Grandma Jia Yi gave a bitter smile: "The really impressive one is you!" "No, thats not right." Grandma Jia Yi suddenly frowned: "Just this alone isnt enough." "Wait, wait, wait! Grandma Jia Yi, what do you mean by this and that? Can you explain?" Sun Wanqi quickly asked, she was still completely confused. "Its simple. Just now, Fang Li said that man was unknown to Xiaobu, conversely, it means Xiaobu knows everyone here except that person, and all the guests at this celebration party were award winners." "Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized. "Young Master Bu is still impressive!" "Yeah, inverse deduction method, awesome!" "66666!" "..." However, in the next second, someone found something wrong. "Thats not right!" Sun Wanqi furrowed her eyebrows: "This would only determine that the person is an award winner, how do you know its the champion?" "Yeah, that was also my doubt just now." Grandma Jia Yi also nodded in agreement. "Exactly, not enough evidence, was Young Master Bu guessing?!" Chen Wen speculated. "It shouldnt be, Young Master Bu didnt hesitate at all just now." Fang Li shook her head. For a moment, the entire private room fell into silence. They really couldnt figure out how Lu Xiaobu guessed it. It really was bizarre. Finally, it was Sun Wanqi who spoke: "Lu Xiaobu, tell us." "Does it count?" Lu Xiaobu asked while eating. "As long as you didnt cheat, it counts!" Sun Wanqi said decisively. "Alright, actually its very simple, the seat determines the status." Lu Xiaobu gestured: "This room was arranged by Sister Lan, naturally the seating was arranged by her too. Its clear where each contestant stands, who is first, who is second, clear and understandable, plus what you just mentioned, it can be confirmed!" Chapter 497 - 495 National Competition Bidding [First Update] Chapter 497: Chapter 495 National Competition Bidding [First Update]Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, everyone present was sporting an awkward grimace. How could it be so simple?! Embarrassment to the maxthey were eagerly posing tough questions to him, yet Lu Xiaobu had known the answer all along. "Dig in, dig in. But remember the conditions youve agreed to!" Lu Xiaobu, looking at either a drunken or bashful Sun Wanqi, spoke up to ease the atmosphere. With that, the matter was considered concluded. Lu Xiaobu also earned himself a favor from Sun Wanqi; definitely a worthwhile celebratory feast! And theres not much to say about what followed the banquet. After all, the so-called celebration was more of a formality, as those with disparate statuses didnt really mingle that well. Meanwhile, the internet was abuzz with the finale of "The Voice". Weibo was already dominated by topics about "The Voice". This night was destined to belong to "The Voice"! "Alas, my train driver! To stop at the final eight!" "Theres no helping it. Although the train drivers explosive high notes were eye-catching, the singing technique was far behind. Even with the coaches full support, there wasnt enough time. Making it to the top eight is already quite impressive!" "I like Grandpa Zeng, shame he got eliminated, such a pity!" "Cao Wen in the first place? What a dark horse!" "Yes! Even though ordinary looking and singing just fine, who knew the competition was suited for the contestants who could perform well!" "How come Ning Feiping got second place?! Im gonna commit a murderjpg!" "I love Wu Mei! She should be in first place!" "Stop causing a fuss! Its only rightful for Cao Wen to come in first! Dont get cocky, Ive got photos of you when you were littlejpg" "Cause a fuss my ass. My champion is Grandpa Zeng! The Crownless King! I crown youjpg. Oops, sent the wrong one!" "No matter what, "The Voice" is just damn amazing, the best variety show in my heart, bar none!" "Yeah, Lu Xiaobu was really kickass this time! Full of surprises at every turn, I didnt miss a single episode from the start!" "I dont care, there must be a second season! Lu Xiaobu, if you dont make one, Ill just camp out at your doorstep! Zhang Meng, attack!jpg" Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "No doubt about it! The best variety show of the year! Lu Xiaobu is awesomejpg" "The Voice" has completely crushed all other variety shows, the absolute king of variety entertainment!" "So thrilling!" "..." There were discussions, analysis, thank-yous, and even some trash-talkinga heated debate was in full swing! Oh, right, the ratings, I almost forgot! The ratings for the final night came out that very night! From start to finish, the ratings were: First episode: 2.07% Second episode: 2.17% Third episode: 2.09% Fourth episode: 2.01% Fifth episode: 2.11% Sixth episode: 2.07% Seventh episode: 2.16% Eighth episode: 2.28%! The ratings for "The Voice", impressively, were always above 2%! Theres just no denying how badass that is! But thats not even the best part! Even though "The Voice" already broke variety show rating records, it outdid itself at the end! You probably guessed it, yes, the record was broken by none other than "The Voice" itselffinale rating: 2.45%! A new high! A miracle! That was the word echoing in everyones minds! They had no other adjectives besides miracle! ... As time passed, the hype around "The Voice" began to fade a bit, though it hadnt completely vanished from peoples sight, the bustling discourse had cooled. After all, its just a variety show and cant permanently occupy peoples attention. And now, the Lu Group was busy preparing for the LOL competitions logistics. "Young Master, are we organizing this competition ourselves, or shall we open it up for bidding?!" Liang Lan sat on the sofa and asked Lu Xiaobu, who was lying on her lap playing with his phone. Now that the issues with "The Voice" were settled, she could take some well-deserved rest. "Lets outsource it." Lu Xiaobu said casually, "Ive been too tired lately, its time for a good rest." Lu Xiaobus laziness was flaring up again. It hadnt been long, with exams and "The Voice", not to mention the recent strategic duel with Lin Feng at sea. He was really tired and couldnt be bothered to move anymore. "Alright, then Ill have them start the bidding process." Liang Lan gently massaged Lu Xiaobus forehead as she spoke. The Young Master had been unusually hardworking lately. He probably wore himself out, its best to let him rest well. ... Three days passed, and the bidding for the national competition of the Heavenly Dynasty began. However, not many people showed up at the venue. Just a few cats and dogs. That was to be expected; after all, it was a national competition, and without substantial financial resources, it couldnt happen. Moreover, currently, undertaking event organization wasnt viewed very optimistically, but more on that later. Nevertheless, the bid was eventually awarded. It went to a newly established companyVermilion Bird Entertainment! Although newly formed, in the field of companies bidding, this one was the strongest. Not for any other reason but because behind Vermilion Bird Entertainment was the powerhouse Tenglong Group. Tenglong Group was a well-known entity, with industries ranging from manufacturing to the internet, encompassing top talents. The founder of Tenglong GroupMo Haiwenwas a prominent figure on the rich list, ranked 92nd! This so-called rich list tracked billionaires in the range of ten to a hundred billion. Its also known by a more colloquial name, the Second Level Rich List. It might sound low-key, but its straightforward enough. Of course, youre welcome to remember the official name of the rich list if you prefer. But I cant be bothered to! Though its name might sound similar to the third-tier rich list, the actual situation is vastly different. On the third-tier rich list, the gap between ranks is only about one billion. But the Second Level Rich List? The gap between ranks is roughly ten billion! Meaning, despite Mo Haiwens rank at 92, his actual wealth is almost double that of Lu Group, of Lu Xiaobu! Thats why Liang Lan chose to award the bid to Mo Haiwen in the end. After all, someone on the Second Level Rich List deserves trust. Of course, it wasnt Mo Haiwen himself who made an appearance, but his son, Mo Hong! Vermilion Bird Entertainment was also owned by Mo Hong. Clearly, this was Mo Haiwens way of grooming Mo Hong. But thats their family business, and I wont babble on about it! Anyway, Mo Hong seemed very confident. After all, this wasnt just any national competition, but a combination of both national and global competitions. Why, do you ask?! Are you silly?! As the first ever global competition, how could Lu Xiaobu possibly hold it in another country?! The first one must be in the Heavenly Dynasty! No discussion! You can call me a nationalist, thank you! When the bidding ended, the date for the national competition was also set. It was in mid-July, just one month away! This timeline seemed a bit rushed, and Liang Lan initially suggested to Mo Hong that it could be delayed a bit. But Mo Hong confidently pounded his chest and said, "Absolutely no problem!" Chapter 498 - 496 Big Bed [2nd Update] Chapter 498: Chapter 496 Big Bed [2nd Update]Since Mo Hong guaranteed it, Liang Lan didnt say much. However, during the promotion, she still left a bit of time and scheduled the national competition for the end of July, adding half a month. Thats normal, she couldnt possibly listen entirely to an outsider. There has to be some spare time left. And once the news of the national competition was out, players from all over Heavenly Dynasty were immediately in uproar! "Finally, its here!" "Hahaha, the long-awaited national competition is finally here!" "Right, I bet those clubs couldnt wait any longer!" "Of course they couldnt wait, theyve been eager to show off their skills at the national competition!" "Support fired up!" "Get lost! Phoenix is invincible!" "..." Online, it was a noisy dispute, as everyone had their own teams to support. By the way, its worth mentioning that because of the professional player certification rule previously rewarded by Xiaobu and the certification department specifically established by LOL company, the rules of this world differ from those of Earth. On Earth, anyone can form a team and recruit a few players for a match. This leads to the need for multiple selection rounds on Earth, from regional, to district, to provincial competitions, before finally reaching the national competition. It takes a long time to qualify for the national competition. But its different here. Due to the perfection of the system and clear rules, everyone doesnt need to wait so long; they can go directly to the national competition. After all, how many professional teams and players there are, is well known to everyone. Maybe someone would ask, doesnt this disallow dark horses to emerge? Of course it doesnt! If youre a king of the streets or something and want to go pro, the certification department fully welcomes you to certify anytime! There are people on duty even at midnight! As long as you pass the certification and have the potential and qualification to go pro, you will naturally be granted the status of a reserve professional player. Only with this status can you be chosen by a club and professional team, then take part in training and competitions. So, your concerns about dark horses being buried or whatever, do not exist here. Of course, unless youre like a nutcaseclaiming to be a street king, refusing to certify, insisting on going pro. Such lunatics, please go wherever they belong, dont drag everyone else down! ... Time passed, and Xiaobu truly entered a relaxed state. End of June. At nine in the evening, at the Lu Family. "Lets go, Zhang Meng, call Qianmin, Spicy Pepper, and a few others, lets go out and have fun." Xiaobu whimsically wanted to go out and have fun. "Yes, Young Master," Zhang Meng responded. He then winked at Li Jin, who quickly went to gather people. Soon, the four beautifully dressed girls arrived in the living room. "Tsk tsk tsk, Spicy Pepper, what are you trying to do?" Xiaobu watched Spicy Pepper with a mischievous smile. Speaking of dressing styles, Spicy Pepper was the boldest. You see, she already had a figure that could ignite mens desires in any outfit, but now she was dressed in a rebellious petite leather jacket and leather skirt, which was absolutely provoking! "You said were going out to have fun, right?" Spicy Pepper provocatively looked at Xiaobu: "Its this late, we must be going to a nightclub! This is the normal outfit for that!" "Really? How come you didnt bring a leather whip?!" Xiaobu said with a naughty smile. "Leather whip? Not just a whip, I even have candles. Want to try?!" Spicy Peppers eyes emitted a wicked gleam. "Sure, sure." Lu Xiaobu immediately rubbed his hands together and said, "Lets go, go, go!" Xiaobu was being dragged away by Xiaola. Then, "Cough, cough, cough!" The three girls coughed as if they had caught a contagious disease. "Psh, if you dare, do it together." Xiaola pinched her tiny waist and looked at the other three girls: "The bed is big enough anyway." "Sure, sure." Lu Xiaobu immediately nodded. "Young Master!" Liang Lan immediately exclaimed coquettishly. The other two also blushed shyly! "Alright, alright, lets not make a fuss." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "Come on, lets go out and have fun. We wont play in Shimen or Imperial tonight, lets head to Zhen City. Not many people know us there, we can have a good time." In Shimen and Imperial, although not everyone knows him, but out of ten people at least one person would recognize Lu Xiaobu. This resulted in Lu Xiaobu being surrounded by people every time he went to nightclubs. It was okay once or twice, but it got tiresome after a while. Just like those emperors who liked to make incognito visits, after having exotic delicacies continuously, once in a while they would crave simple vegetables and radishes! Of course, hitting on girls is the main thing, cough cough! "Okay, Ill contact the pilot now." Liang Lan immediately called the night shift pilot of Lu Xiaobus private plane. Everything was arranged quickly! They arrived at the biggest and most upscale night market in Zhen City, and the group walked in. Instantly, booming music filled everyones ears, adrenaline and hormones started to secrete rapidly, blood flowing faster! Lu Xiaobu naturally began to move with the music. Indeed, they had been forgotten for a while, no one recognized them. This had two reasons, one was that they were quite far away, and the second naturally was because of the lighting. Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But, the reason wasnt important, Lu Xiaobu was having a great time. While he was enjoying himself, A sentence from the next table suddenly reached his ears: "Lu Xiaobu, that fucking idiot!" "Huh?!" Lu Xiaobus brows furrowed immediately. Although the nightclub was loud, Lu Xiaobu was certain, he definitely heard that! People are always very sensitive to their own names! This made him involuntarily put down his glass and look towards that table. What grudges or grievances? Why curse him like that?! People who can come here are not ordinary folks, after all as one of the most upscale nightclubs, the expenses are not something ordinary people can afford! Naturally, the words spoken here are generally not just nonsense. Therefore, as you might regularly see, those so-called punks coming to flirt, or rich second generations coming to snatch girls, such things just dont exist here. At most, when someone sees a beautiful woman, they might come up to ask, and upon realizing she has a male companion, they would turn around and walk away. So, seeing Lu Xiaobu turn his head, Xiaola and the others also retracted their smiles and turned to look. Only Liang Lan narrowed her eyes upon seeing the person across, her mind stirred, asking Zhang Meng beside her: "What did they say?" "They seem to be cursing Young Master, but I didnt hear it clearly." Zhang Meng squinted his eyes and said. He really didnt hear clearly, so he originally planned to listen more carefully before reporting. But unexpectedly, Young Master directly turned his head, it seems that they really were cursing Young Master Xiaobu! Upon hearing this, Liang Lans face instantly became stern! The person on the other side, speaking such words, was simply outrageous!!! Chapter 499 - 497: Drinking to Death [First Update] Chapter 499: Chapter 497: Drinking to Death [First Update]Liang Lans face turned extremely ugly, and one might even say it was frosty! Because no matter who curses, it should not be that person across from her. It was not a matter of status, but because the person opposite was Mo Hong, who had just recently reached a cooperation with them for the organization of the LOL Global Competition! Weve just established cooperation and the match hasnt even started yet, and here you are, Mo Hong, spouting nonsense and insulting Young Master Bu, whats the meaning of this? This is provocation! Blatant provocation! What? Just because your dad is on the Second Level Rich List, you dare to be so arrogant? "Young Master, Ill go find him! This Mo Hong is such a bastard!" Liang Lan stood up angrily and said. This matter must be addressed! Do they think the Lu family are easy to bully? "Mo Hong? Is that the guy who contracted the whole global competition?" When Xiaobu heard Mo Hongs name, instead of rushing, he said, "I want to see why this Mo Hong, who points at me for fame and money, really wants to curse me!" Its easy to slap someone, and after you do, they still have to apologize. But its all the more irritating if you dont know the reason why! "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan could only sit back down. Although everyone on the scene was very angry, the angriest was definitely her! Because she was the one who handled this affair. This was a major blunder, unforgivable! As Xiaobu and the others quieted down, paying close attention to that side, the voice gradually became clearer! "Bro Mo, didnt you just reach a cooperation agreement with the Lu Group? Its not proper to curse like that!" A glasses-wearing young master - Huang Wenta stood up, poured a drink for Mo Hong, and said with a smile. "Its just a matter of cooperation!" Mo Hong said with a pained and angry expression. "Oh? Did the Lu Group give you a hard time?" Huang Wenta asked, adjusting his glasses. What no one noticed was the sharp glint in his eyes. "Thats not the case." Mo Hong waved his hand dismissively. "Spit it out if theres something wrong, then its your fault." Huang Wenta advised, "Besides, if someone hears this, its going to be troublesome!" "Afraid my ass, isnt this your place? I am relaxed!" Mo Hong seemed to have drunk a bit too much: "I just want to curse that idiot Xiaobu." Hearing this, the faces at Xiaobus table turned utterly grim. What does this mean?! You said yourself, theres no problem with the cooperation, we have no old grudges, no recent quarrels, and even a foundation for cooperation. And yet you insist on cursing Young Master Bu?! This is a severe provocation! At this moment, Huang Wenta asked again, "Whats the real reason?" Hearing his question, Xiaobu and the others also narrowed their eyes. This was what they wanted to know, too! "You said it yourself, whats he doing fighting with Korea! Now look, just for those few million US dollars, the whole of Korea is boycotting Xiaobu!" "What does that have to do with you?" Huang Wenta said with a laugh: "Besides, isnt Xiaobu fighting for the glory of the Heavenly Dynasty? Thats a good thing!" "Thats bullshit!" Mo Hong slammed the table hard. Bang! It startled the surrounding princesses, making them shiver. As if in tune with him, the surrounding music seemed to quiet down a bit! Xiaobu and the others could hear even more clearly now! "Its because of him, my contracts with Korea have all been jacked up! A thirty percent price hike! Do you know how much money that is?" Mo Hong opened up as if the floodgates had been released, going on about different things: "Stage design! Directors! Commentators! Decorations! Equipment! All aspects, all rising by thirty percent, and with that, what profit do I have left?!" Mo Hong was really annoyed inside. Organizing eSports competitions was not easy; profits were low, or even non-existent. You dont believe me? Well, let me do the math for you. Renting a venue, it costs money, right! Equipment, it costs money, right! Personnel, it costs money, right! And you still have to pay the LOL headquarters! Plus all sorts of miscellaneous expenses, it all adds up to money! But what about income? Theres only that little bit from advertising fees, ticket sales, and broadcasting fees! This is largely operating at a loss! Its only because this global and national competition has been handed over to him that he can make a bit! But now, with Korea suddenly raising prices, hes plunged into a no-profit situation again! Tell me, wouldnt you be pissed? "Oh?! So youre saying, youve handed over the national and global competition matters to Korea?!" Huang Wenta sounded genuinely surprised as he spoke. "Bullshit! Although Im a businessman, Im also a gamer; I want to present the best possible competition to the vast number of players, so this is the only way to do it!" Mo Hong sighed and said, "Our countrys development in this area is too slow. Its all riding on Xiaobu alone, while others only think about making money. Of course, this includes me. When I see theres no profit to be made, I lose the desire to continue!" "This leads to the fact that despite the game being a product of Heavenly Dynasty, the professionalism of the competition, from the directors to the commentators, is far too lacking!" "If this were to embarrass us in front of foreigners during a global competition, Id be infamous for all eternity!" After finishing, Mo Hong sighed again, waved his hand, and said, "Drink, lets drink!" At this moment. Someone suddenly took a seat next to Mo Hong. This caused Mo Hongs brows to furrow as he said subconsciously, "Whos that, dont you know the rules?" While he spoke, Mo Hong turned towards the person. Instantly! Whoosh Mo Hongs face turned deathly pale! Then, it was flushed with an unnatural red! Eventually, his whole face turned green! "Lu! Lu Xiaobu!?" Mo Hong felt embarrassed, ashamed, a bit of fear, and the rest was filled with confusion and shock! Why is Xiaobu here? Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If Xiaobu is here, doesnt that mean he heard everything I said?! This is bad! This Xiaobu is someone who does as he pleases! What does he want to do?! However, amidst the mix of feelings, he still had to say what needed to be said: "Hello, President Lu." "Its not so good, I was having a good time until someone cursed me!" Xiaobu leaned back in the booth, looking at Mo Hong: "Its like eating a fly, have you ever tried it?! Want to give it a go?!" Hearing this, Mo Hongs face turned from green to white in moments! Classic Xiaobu, confronting him directly. This was a clear indication that he was the fly! A direct slap in the face! "President Lu, you say how we should handle this!" Mo Hong was straightforward; seeing that things had come to this point, he stopped beating around the bush and admitted his fault. Hearing this, Xiaobu looked at Mo Hong with newfound respect. "Im the kind of person who doesnt hold a grudge against a drunk fly, what do you think?" Xiaobu snapped his fingers: "Bring over five bottles of Remy Martin XO, put it on my tab!" Very soon. "Bang!" Five bottles of Remy Martin were placed on the table by Xiaobu. The message couldnt be clearer. Finish off five bottles of foreign liquor in one go, enough to give an ordinary person gastric perforation at the very least! In simpler terms, drink yourself to death! Chapter 500 - 498 Smash! [2nd Update] Chapter 500: Chapter 498 Smash! [2nd Update]"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Five bottles of Remy Martin slammed onto the table! "Splatter! Splatter! Splatter! Splatter! Splatter!" All opened! The sounds seemed like they were crashing down on Mo Hongs heart. His face alternated between shades of green and white. Filled with humiliation, he was at a loss for what to do. Though his father ranked on the Second Level Rich List, he himself did not! To put it simply, Lu Xiaobu and his father were on the same level. He was not! Ordinarily it didnt matter; he could manage among his peers. But now, having taken Lu Xiaobus business, his status had implicitly been reduced by a level! "President Lu, can we just..." Mo Hongs words carried a hint of pleading. "What am I supposed to look at?" Lu Xiaobu replied indifferently, "Didnt your father teach you about facing the consequences?" "I! I! Ill drink!" Mo Hong gritted his teeth, grabbed a bottle of Remy Martin, and started gulping it down! Lu Xiaobu was right, facing the consequences! Someone had to bear the consequences. If he didnt, his company would; if his company didnt, his father would! The farther it went, the graver the consequences became! If he bore them himself, it was actually the least severe. "Thump! Thump! Thump!" The pungent alcohol kept pouring down his throat. Everyone watched coldly. Including Huang Wenta. "Thud!" One bottle finished. Mo Hong picked up the second bottle. "Wait a second." Lu Xiaobu suddenly stopped Mo Hong. "President Lu?" A little woozy, Mo Hong was surprised; could he stop drinking? "I have a question for you." Lu Xiaobu looked up and said, "In case you forget everything after getting too drunk." "Okay, ask." Mo Hong put down the bottle and asked. "Will you let Korea make these global plugs again?" Lu Xiaobu stared at the empty bottles on the table as he spoke. "Yes, their..." Mo Hong started to explain. "No need to explain." Lu Xiaobu stood up, "Consider the contract cancelled. The breach of contract fee will be transferred to your account." "What?! President Lu, what is this?!" Mo Hong was dumbfounded. What was this about?! Cancel just like that? This was a contract worth billions, not childs play! Cancel it just like that?! This must be a joke?! Has he gone mad?! Just for insulting him once? But wasnt he already apologizing?! "No more questions." Lu Xiaobu straightened his clothes, "Let me teach you one last thing." "What?" Mo Hong asked subconsciously. "This." Lu Xiaobu picked up the bottle that Mo Hong had just emptied, and swung it at Huang Wenta, who was sitting quietly like a good child. "Thud!" You all probably know how thick the Remy Martin bottles are, but you surely dont know how much they hurt when they hit! Today, Huang Wenta found out. Completely off guard, and perhaps even secretly pleased, Huang Wenta was stunned by the bottle. His mind buzzed instantly! The pain didnt even register at first! He couldnt believe it as he touched his sticky hair, looked at the blood-red color, and stared disbelievingly at Lu Xiaobu, "Why?!" "Who gave you the audacity to play tricks in front of me?" Lu Xiaobu wiped his hands and walked out. "Mo Hong, enjoy your drink by yourself. You can smash a bottle for every bottle you drink, all on my tab!" After saying that, Lu Xiaobu headed out. Mo Hong watched Lu Xiaobus retreating figure, glanced at the bottle in his hand, then at Huang Wenta, who was lying on the table, his head covered in blood. Instantly! Crack Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was as if a bolt of lightning had streaked across Mo Hongs mind. His entire brain was whiteout! He got it! So, gritting his teeth, he raised the bottle to his throat and began to fiercely guzzle it down! "Glug, glug, glug!" This time, he drank even faster than before! And the more he drank, the more ferocious Mo Hongs expression became! "Pop!" Mo Hong finished drinking. Without pausing, he lifted the bottle and smacked it down on Huang Wentas head. "Bang!" There was a loud noise. Huang Wenta, already in excruciating pain and on the verge of unconsciousness, convulsed, then quickly went limp! Even so, Mo Hong wasnt satisfied. He picked up a third bottle and poured it down his throat! He wanted to smash this bastard to death! He understood everything now, all too clearly. Where was this? This was Huang Wentas turf. Lu Xiaobu was here, others might not know, might not recognize him, but could he not recognize, not know?! But what about it? He never mentioned it. Not only did he not mention it, he also invited him to drink. And the seat was right next to Lu Xiaobu! Is there such a coincidence?! So, this was no damned coincidence; it was this bastard playing him! Calculating him to his death! Of course, it was also his fault for running his mouth freely and recklessly! Thats why Lu Xiaobu told him, drink a bottle, smash once! Only by drinking a bottle, making up for his mistake, did he earn the right to lay his hands on Huang Wenta! Of course, he still hadnt figured out why Lu Xiaobu wanted to end the contract! But for now, he wouldnt think about that! ... Lu Xiaobu walked out, or rather, fought his way out of the bar. Amidst cries of agony behind him, Lu Xiaobu got into his car. A flash of displeasure in his eyes. Honestly, if it werent for that Mo Hong today calling him a player, wanting to do well in the game, he would definitely be one lying there today. Of course, once he finished drinking, hed be lying down just the same. "Young Master, its my fault, I didnt investigate thoroughly!" Liang Lan said with a face full of guilt. Mo Hong might not understand, but she did. Her heart was filled with immense guilt! Had they not discovered it early, by the time the Korea-hosted Global Competition was inaugurating, Young Master would have probably become a laughing stock. She could even foresee how the Koreans would mock. "Whispering, so this is the impressive Lu Xiaobu, tsk tsk tsk, wheres your prowess now? Isnt this your genius game? Why is it us organizing the global competition? How about you just set the venue in our Korea?" Would those words sting? Are they infuriating? But those would still be considered kind. Because, that would mean the event was successfully held. Should there be any little issue, do you think the Koreans would take the blame? Dream on! They would 120% shift the blame onto the Young Master. All about deducting wages, intentionally making things difficult, unfair treatment... If any of the above didnt happen by then, she wouldnt be a Liang! So just how big of a mistake did she make!!! "Its fine, how much time do we have left?" Lu Xiaobu asked with narrowed eyes. Sister Lan had been too busy lately, it wasnt her fault, with the operation expanding, mistakes were inevitable. "One month." Liang Lan felt somewhat relieved, thankful that they had initially allowed an extra half-month cushion, or else they would have truly become a joke. "Good, thats enough time." Lu Xiaobus face was stern. "First thing, we wreck the place!" Chapter 501 - 499: Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs [First Update] Chapter 501: Chapter 499: Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs [First Update]Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Liang Lan was stunned, "Smash? Young Master, smash what?" "Smash all those facilities made by the Korean bastards!" Lu Xiaobu said indifferently: "If were going to do it, lets do it thoroughly. Avoid the whispers behind our backs. Tell them, I, the young master, want to do it myself and also thrash all of them!" Nobody dared to guarantee that there wouldnt be anyone chewing over this matter later. After all, it has already been half a month, the general framework must be basically there. If at that time, my side succeeds and Korea steps in saying, "This is all imitating us, they let us do half of it just to steal our skills blah blah blah," that would be annoying as hell! So, just smash them all! "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan immediately nodded, "Ill execute the order right away!" It sounds simple, but actually there are many things to do: canceling the contract with Vermilion Bird Company, Vermilion Bird Companys contract with the Korean side, transferring the ownership of the equipment, and so on. Therefore, the demolition didnt happen that day. And on that very day, as expected, the rumors were already swirling online. There was no way around it; before this, not many people knew about the issue. But once the news of the contract cancellation got out, people who were previously not paying attention to the pre-competition construction started to take notice. This way, people would follow the vine to discover this issue. "Tsk tsk tsk, so it was designed by the Koreans, huh! Heh!" "Lu Xiaobu, can you really lower yourself like this? You just fought a battle, proclaiming your patriotism, and now youre still getting Korea to do it?!" "Well, it kind of makes sense though. Just look at the level of our domestic competitions, of course, Im talking about the organizing sides issue, not the competitors." "You know what, now that you mention it, I sort of understand too. Do you guys remember the competition in April? Speaking of it, I was both angry and amused, the event organized was so poorly prepared that the team ended up playing in an Internet caf. Thats freaking embarrassing!" "What are you all comparing, whatever the reason, this matter is a disgrace on Lu Xiaobu!" "..." Discussions about this issue continued until the cancellation of the contract was officially confirmed, and suddenly, the fervor surrounding the issue reached a climax. "What the hell, they really canceled the contract?" "The competition time isnt going to be pushed back, is it?" "Yeah, Ive already bought everything, requested leave, and now youre telling me its postponed? Im seriously not going to watch it then!" "Seriously, isnt this just messing around! Its one thing to screw around with other matters, but to screw around with this, too? Lu Xiaobu, youre really too much!" "Could it be that Lu Xiaobus youthful nationalist spirit is acting up again?" "I guess so, but its none of my business. Ive abandoned ship anyway, with all this back and forth." "Just let the Koreans do it, whats the big deal, as long as its on time!" "Yeah, yeah, whats the big deal." "..." This is the legendary onlooking masses. When they were unaware, or unsure of the cancellation news, they grumbled about Lu Xiaobu, criticizing him for being unpatriotic and not handling it himself. But when they found out about the cancellation, they all flipped, complaining about Lu Xiaobu being troublesome and causing a mess. Believe me, if Lu Xiaobu really let the Koreans do it, they would still stab him in the back. And theres only one reason for all of this. The world hustles and bustles for profit. Their time was delayed, their interests were affected, and that led to a change in their attitudes. When you are glorious, they are the ones clapping the loudest, when you fail, they are the ones delivering the most venomous words. The controversy escalated online. "Lu Xiaobu, just renew the contract and stop the fuss!" "Enough is enough, what are you playing at!" "Its still not too late, go renew the contract! You have the money, its not a big deal." "..." Not only were there wild rumors among the netizens, but those Koreans who were canceled also started interfering, making sarcastic remarks. "What, with money you can do whatever you want? Halfway through and then just kick us out?" "Nice calculation! Let us work for half a month, make the general framework, then you cancel the contract, use a bit of penalty fee to send us away, then you take over and start working, and once its done, you say its the Heavenly Dynastys achievement, right?" S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Are all people from the Heavenly Dynasty like this, sneak thieves? Just because you have money, you bully others?!" "Fine! No problem! We accept it, but let me tell you, if you want to steal our skills, its not that easy!" "Indeed the Heavenly Dynasty is backward, needing to sneak around and learn this kind of thing!" "No need for that! Why bother? If you guys had just spoken up earlier and paid some tuition, we wouldve taught you, right?!" "..." Look at that, isnt it just as Xiaobu predicted? Going both soft and hard, not missing a single chance to mock and scoff. They cant do anything more now, and they even got the penalty fee, so irritating others has become their favorite pastime. And some idiots in our country are even following the trend, supporting the Koreans. "Exactly, too shameless!" "Our Heavenly Dynasty is a land of courtesy; we cannot do things like this, especially on the occasion of a global tournament. Itll make others laugh at our Heavenly Dynasty!" "We shouldnt be like this; lets just apologize to them!" "..." These folks have a nice name: moral saints. But I prefer to call these people who sit on their so-called moral high ground and criticize others idiots! These words began to ferment on the internet. However, at this moment. Xiaobu started live streaming, and this time, the stream wasnt only hosted on Juechens platform but also simultaneously on the official LOL website and the LOL client homepage! The theme was just one - Smash! "Bang!" Someone swung a hammer directly at the biggest screen on the venue! Glass shattered, cracks proliferated; it was a ghastly sight! "Clang!" A computer was smashed with a chair! "Squeak!" A pricey-looking host machine was sawed in half with an electric saw! "Snap!" A gaming keyboard was snapped into two! "Crack crack crack, clang clang clang, snap snap snap, bang bang bang, thump thump thump, squeak squeak squeak!" All sorts of sounds fueling that destructive urge filled the entire live stream. The audience, the LOL players, were all bewildered. "What the heck is this?!" "Yeah, Xiaobu starts live streaming and doesnt say a word, just starts smashing stuff?!" "Whats he doing?!" "Someone come out and explain!" "..." Quickly, some attentive viewers noticed! "Hiss! Is this! Is this! The global tournament venue! The one Koreans made half of!" "Holy shit! It really is!" "Wait! Does this mean! Xiaobu is smashing the venue?!" "This is crazy!" "No, Xiaobu isnt crazy, hes slapping the faces of the Koreans!" "Exactly!" "Typical Xiaobu indeed!" "..." Exactly! Right now, the faces of the Koreans must be so colorful, absolutely delightful to look at! Every sound here is like a slap, a brick, a bat, a saw, smacking right onto their faces! Scorchingly painful! Deathly painful! Xiaobu!!! This isnt over!!! Chapter 502 - 500: Slap in the Face [2nd Update] Chapter 502: Chapter 500: Slap in the Face [2nd Update]Do Korean folks not have sore faces or what?! They just finished their mocking and sneering, saying Lu Xiaobu still has to rely on others success, but he just smashed everything they built into bits! Whats that supposed to mean?! That means Lu Xiaobu looks down on their stuff, their construction. Rely on others success?! S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It turned into a huge joke! Everything theyve said has become a laughingstock! In the live broadcast, Lu Xiaobu finally spoke: "Hey, Koreans, let me tell you, dont freaking overthink it. You think this young master would use your stuff!? Dream on! Id even have to double-check if your women are genuine, let alone use your handouts! Do you even qualify to be that hen?! With just a casual effort, Ill utterly crush you all!" The way Lu Xiaobu put it was just so raw! So sharp! It made the already face-slapped Koreans even more rage-filled! "Lu Xiaobu! Dont be too hateful!" "Thats personal attack!" "Lu Xiaobu, Im going to sue you!" "Stop bragging! If you dont use our stuff, fine! You think youre so great? Well be watching how great youll be!" "Its true that the game originated from the Heavenly Dynasty, but those who truly excel at it are us Koreans. Just look at your countrys competitions, is there even one good one?!" "Talking big without shame! Im not going back home. Ill be waiting for your competition; I want to witness the Heavenly Dynastys nationals and the globals become a joke!" "Thats right, whats that saying in your country? Losing face internationally!" "Man, youre truly full of it! Lu Xiaobu, you think having money means you can do whatever you want?! Im telling you, no! The gap between us is experience, a gap that money cant bridge!" "..." The words of the Korean folks, this time surprisingly went unchallenged, because everyone was speechless to retort! They wanted to hit back, they wanted to counter! But when they looked back at their countrys past competitions, they couldnt find a fitting excuse to refute. Its true. Whether its the commentary, the direction, the equipment, or the degree of attention, it seems Korea really is far ahead. To speak frankly, at the moment, it looks like Lu Xiaobu is single-handedly carrying the whole LOL scene! The game, crafted by Lu Xiaobu! The professional players standards, set up by Lu Xiaobu! The competition format, created by Lu Xiaobu! Even the first match that countless other countries emulate, was orchestrated by Lu Xiaobu! But besides that?! It seems theres really nothing else! But accept defeat?! Impossible! And so! Netizens once again started ferociously blasting the Koreans! This time, without any reason, they believed in Lu Xiaobu, they had to believe, whether or not they wanted to! "F*ck! What are you being arrogant about?! We still have Lu Xiaobu! Isnt it just a months time?! Enough!" "Exactly! Lu Xiaobu rules! Hes the maker of miracles!" "Korea schmorea! Have you forgotten the time Young Master Bus Lao Ganma smashed your whole country?! That took only a few days, didnt it? But today?! We still have a whole month!" "Right! We have Lu Xiaobu, we fear nothing!" "..." These were the cries of Lu Xiaobus die-hard fans and the angry youths. They wont stand it, even if we are lacking, its not your place to yap! Of course, there are all kinds of people; where there are angry youths, there are the so-called rational folks! "Hey, I understand everyones feelings, I too hope Lu Xiaobu continues creating miracles, but as someone with a brain, I just want to say, theres too little time!" "Thats right, the past success of Lao Ganma seemed accidental, but in fact, it was built on groundwork and seeds that had been laid out a long time ago. Economists have analyzed it C indeed, it had established a foundation in foreigners minds early on. If you dont believe it, look it up, theres even a Lao Ganma Cult that was set up a long time ago! Thats the background, so Lao Ganmas legend wasnt built overnight! But this time, it really is different!" "Everyone needs to stay rational! I think Lu Xiaobus actions this time are truly unreasonable. He breached the contract on a whim, smashing the already prepared venue, causing huge losses, and could potentially damage the Heavenly Dynastys credibility!" "So, I think its better to mend relations with Korea, even if its a bit humiliating, but its better than being shamed in front of the global community later on!" "Right, any sane person would know what the right choice is!" "..." Are these words wrong?! Honestly, they arent. But damn it, theyre annoying to hear! Lu Xiaobu continued in the live broadcast. "The schedule remains unchanged. Everything that should be there, will be there, only better, never worse!" The Koreans laughed it off: "Listen to him blowing his own trumpet, saying itll only be better, not worse! Do you know how soon it starts!? A month! Just one month! Youve smashed the venue, how long will it take just to clean that up? And itll only be better?!" Not a single word of what Lu Xiaobu said did they believe! Well, that was until the very next second. "The Voice has just concluded, and Ive decided to repurpose The Voices stage to serve as the venue for the globals!" Lu Xiaobu stated indifferently and then the broadcast feed switched - the stage of The Voice, worth a hundred million, appeared on screen! Theres really no need to go on about how excellent The Voices stage is! The stage alone is worth a hundred million, not to mention all the other sundry things! Is such a stage qualified enough?! Is it good enough?! Seeing the image on the broadcast, everyones eyes lit up in an instant! "Holy shit! Yeah! The Voice! Its stage is the best in the country, top-notch C more than enough for the competition!" "How did I forget about this! The Voice has concluded, but the stage is still there! That stage was set up by Lu Xiaobu in the first place, why wouldnt he use it for the globals?!" "Motherf*cker! All that focus on singing and we freaking forgot about the stage!" "Hahahaha! Now I finally understand why Lu Xiaobu could afford to smash it! Hes got the confidence!" "Awesome! I just knew Lu Xiaobu was badass!" "..." The people from the Heavenly Dynasty are cheering while the Koreans faces have turned green! Theyre not people of the Heavenly Dynasty; theyve only come to the Dynasty after signing a contract recently, so they hadnt watched The Voice! But since Vermilion Bird Entertainment hired them for construction, their judgement and skills obviously need no mention! So, they can tell the quality of the stage! "Holy crap! This stage! This screen! This quality?!" "Gasp! The Heavenly Dynasty actually has a ready-to-use stage like this?!" "Its kind of scary!" "Such a stage, only our capital Han Citys esports center might have one!" "No worries, no big deal, they just got a stage figured out!" "..." Theyre still brimming with confidence! But really, is that so?!!! Chapter 503 - 501 Must Slap the Face Hard [First Update] Chapter 503: Chapter 501 Must Slap the Face Hard [First Update]The stage presentation is over! During the live broadcast, Lu Xiaobu spoke again: "Of course, a single stage cannot explain much, and theres no point in saying anything else right now. Well talk more during the competition!" After finishing, Lu Xiaobu ended the live broadcast. The purpose of this broadcast was merely to explain the reason behind smashing things and to nip any rumors in the bud. As for the rest, theres really no need to mention it now. Of course, this is also related to the selection not being very good, cough cough! When Lu Xiaobu turned off the live broadcast. The netizens began discussing fervently, with a generally positive attitude! "The stage is fine, the timing is fine, Im going to check it out when the time comes!" "Yeah, Ive already asked for leave, itd be a loss not to go!" "This is organized by Lu Xiaobu, there shouldnt be any problems, right!" "Hope so!" "Lu Xiaobu must have already prepared everything; we need to believe in Lu Xiaobu!" "Yeah, Lu Xiaobu is the synonym for miracles!" "..." Although there are some doubts among the people of Heavenly Dynasty, the majority still decide to support Lu Xiaobu. After all, we should support our own people no matter what. Look, theyve already resolved the issue with the stage! Its a good sign! But the people from Korea dont think so! Not only do they disagree, but they also keep provoking. Simply put, they definitely do not want Lu Xiaobu to host a successful event. "So what if the stage is good? Just because the stage is good doesnt mean the competition will be run well! You people of Heavenly Dynasty are really ignorant!" "Its like a piece of art; good packaging might raise everyones attention, but if the art itself is trash, what good does great packaging do?!" "Tsk tsk tsk, the deception tactic is deftly used!" "Yes, distract everyone with the stage and cover up the issues, then divert responsibility." "Interesting, Im genuinely interested now; I really want to see what you can bring to the table when the time comes!" "First of all, do you think anyone can be a director?! Just cutting between two scenes and focusing on team fights? Hah!" "A good director needs to have precise control over various video signals and choose different angles to show the excitement of the match and the expressive tension of the visuals! Forget it, this is too technical, you probably wouldnt understand, so to put it simply, not only must one be extremely familiar with professional knowledge but also deeply familiar with the game, have their personal interpretations, and be able to make their judgments. Understand?!" "They dont know shit, just look at their previous competition broadcasts, indiscriminate cuts, what professionalism could there be?! Just wait and watch the joke!" "..." With the Koreans words, especially throwing around lots of technical terms, many netizens fell silent. After all, they have to admit that in terms of events, Korea is indeed more professional, and with professionals speaking, they dont know how to rebut. "Dont speak so absolutely!" "Right, with Lu Xiaobu here, we arent afraid! How many times has Lu Xiaobu slapped your faces?!" "Exactly, support Lu Xiaobu!" "Just wait for Lu Xiaobu to slap faces!" "Koreans, get lost!" "..." The Koreans responded with the attitude of a victor: "Just keep deceiving yourselves! No worries! Since its a global competition, the shame wont be on our country! Well be ready with popcorn!" Listen how infuriating their words are?! And theyre even prepared with popcorn?! Theyre completely looking down on Heavenly Dynasty! The gamers are grinding their teeth in anger. Just you wait! Lu Xiaobu must fiercely slap these Koreans faces! He must! ... After Lu Xiaobu closed the live broadcast, he turned to Liang Lan: "Sister Lan, have you seen the documents sent by Cai Long regarding the director?" "Ive seen them, and I think theyre not bad," Liang Lan nodded and said, "But Im not quite sure about his directing skills in real esports broadcasts." She is Tian Jilan, not Almighty Lan. She can speak confidently about business matters, but in esports, she really cant proclaim to know it all. Indeed, as the Koreans said, this event must be showcased in front of a global audience. If theres any mistake during the process, it would truly be embarrassing on a global scale, not to mention the Koreans will definitely find faults rigorously on that day; theres no need to even think about it. So, its really necessary to be exceedingly careful. "Call him over, then let me talk to him some more. Send me the materials he provided, as well as the original competition videos, and Ill take a closer look." Lu Xiaobu rubbed his eyebrows and said. Seems like I cant be lazy about this; I need to go all out! "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan promptly replied. The Young Master is truly serious this time! Soon, the materials were delivered. Lu Xiaobu first set up two computers. He then called several people from the LOL company. "Start watching now; watch both sides simultaneously, frame by frame, not missing any detail, analyze from all angles, and see how well he directed the visuals this time!" Lu Xiaobu commanded. If professional skills are not enough, then start analyzing from the most basic level step by step. Its difficult to start by looking at the results, but its easy to reverse engineer the process from the results! This way, any issues, errors, or areas of improvement will be clearly displayed! Just like our country, starting from nothing and developing step by step. We may not have the technology, but we have people, we have perseverance, and we have time. In front of us, the people of Heavenly Dynasty, all difficulties are not truly difficulties. Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes!" The employees responded eagerly! And began watching the videos with undivided attention. They dare not, and will not, be careless! After all, in Lu Group, they never worry about speaking out, which allows them to boldly get things done! Meanwhile, Cai Dragon also arrived. "You understand the current situation, right." Lu Xiaobu looked into Cai Dragons eyes: "Do well, you wont be praised; do poorly, youll be shamed. Your choice." Whether the skill is good or not is one thing, but if theres no courage, then theres no need to think further. So, if Cai Long shows any hesitation, its time to replace him! This isnt Lu Xiaobu being harsh, but the matter at hand cannot afford failure. What he needs is not just someone mediocre, without any standout qualities! Chapter 504 - 502: Leaning Towards Tiger Mountain [Second Release] Chapter 504: Chapter 502: Leaning Towards Tiger Mountain [Second Release]Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Cai Long didnt hesitate for even a moment before promptly agreeing: "Young Master Bu, I can do it! Absolutely!" As he had previously stated, his decision to seek out Lu Xiaobu for the eSports directing job was never about wealth or fame. He did it for some so-called dreams that sounded a little laughableto make the Heavenly Dynastys eSports industry the leading force, instead of the butt of a tiger headed snake-like joke! "Good, since thats the case, I wont say much more. Go on then! They are analyzing your videos in the next room, go take a look and join them in the review!" Lu Xiaobu appreciated Cai Longs attitude of knowing the risks but still marching towards the tigers den. Only with such an attitude and state of mind can one achieve rapid improvement in a short time. "Yes!" Cai Long immediately responded. His emotions were also quite stirred. In his heart, he held a great deal of respect for Lu Xiaobu, after all, Lu had always been a maker of miracles. And now he might soon become a follower of a miracle creator! Wouldnt he be thrilled! After Cai Long left, Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin: "System, can we upgrade this Cai Long?" "Eh, if youre thinking of a fundamental upgrade, I suggest you give up! The price for that isnt something we can afford right now! Not to mention Cai Long, what about anything youve received from me besides Basic Attributes that is permanently upgraded?!" The system responded with an explanation. "Eh... I guess so." Lu Xiaobu scratched his head. Besides Basic Attributes, it seemed that indeed there wasnt anything that had been permanently upgraded. S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Then, lets do something temporary, something like a stimulant, and give it to him when the time comes." Lu Xiaobu said again. "That can be done, but ultimately, it still depends on his own level reaching a certain standard." The system nodded in agreement. "Understood." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Even if you switch a cars engine for an airplanes, it still wont fly! The directing matter was temporarily put to rest. Next was the issue of recruitment for commentators. "Sister Lan, call over all the famous domestic ones, let me have a look." Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan. He could only choose step by step, finding a commentator was even harder than a director. After all, the director works behind the scenes, while the commentator is in front of the audience! "Yes!" Liang Lan responded. ... Meanwhile, while Lu Xiaobu was busily engaged. Zhenxi Hospital. Huang Wenta, with his head wrapped up like a zongzi, lay on the hospital bed. At this moment, his facial features were contorted together, his face filled with anger and ferocity! With every throb in his head, his rage increased by a notch! "Fuck Lu Xiaobus mom! I swear its not over between you and me! Its either you die or I live!" He stared at the ceiling, bellowing out his grievances. He was bewildered that day! He had schemed against Mo Hong, but that was just exploiting Lu Xiaobu a bit, right?! There was no direct harm done to Lu Xiaobus interests! He even let you know about Mo Hong outsourcing the project to Korea, but what about you?! Not only you didnt fucking thank me, but you also let Mo Hong beat me up! Son of a bitch! His emotions surged, turning his entire face red! With his blood vessels engorged with blood, his head began to throb with stabbing pains again. "Ah! Doctor! Fuck! Doctor! Quick!" Huang Wenta howled in agony, roaring out! The more infuriated he became, the more his head throbbed, and the deeper his hatred for Lu Xiaobu grew! A vicious cycle had begun! Outside the door, Huang Wentas father, Huang Wu, heard his sons roaring from inside the room, and a ferocious expression also appeared on his face! Lu Xiaobu, we are irreconcilable! I know my son cant beat you, and even I cant beat you! But, the current situation is not in your favor, is it? This time, Im going to fight it out with you! Dont blame me for kicking you when youre down! ... It was that very afternoon. Online whispers and rumors suddenly sprang up! And some articles started circulating. "Insiders reveal that the upcoming global tournament is nothing but an empty shell, with nothing but a stage." "It seems that Koreas predictions are true." "Are we going to lose face internationally?" "Has Lu Xiaobu fed our trust to the dogs?!" "..." These news items werent from any mainstream media, after all, the media already frightened by Lu Xiaobu, wouldnt dare to speculate without the events actually happening! However, even though they werent from mainstream media, they spread incredibly fast. In no time at all, such news was everywhere on the internet! And a large number of paid trolls also began to set the tone! The sheer number of them was horrifying. "Lu Xiaobu, come out and give us an explanation!" "Thats right, a day has passed, have you selected your team yet?!" "Yeah, we heard you havent chosen anyone at all!" "Exactly, exactly, I saw the same news, saying that youre just an empty shell!" "Lets see your results!" "Thats it, we want to see the list, thats not too much to ask, is it?!" "..." As time passed, more and more people joined in this chorus. Before, when it was the Koreans talking, everyone naturally supported Lu Xiaobu. But now the latest news was coming from our own countrymen, and doubts began to form in peoples minds! Moreover, they felt their demands were not unreasonable. They just wanted to know the team roster, was that too much to ask?! Not at all! It was precisely this self-righteous mindset that made the uproar on the internet grow even louder! Demands for Lu Xiaobu to release the roster were overwhelming. ... Huang Wu, Huang Wentas father, looked at these clamors and narrowed his eyes, "Not enough, keep spreading the news, we must elevate the attention this matter is getting to another level!" "Yes!" Someone beside him responded, but then he asked, "Mr. Huang, whats the benefit of doing this?! Once Lu Xiaobu releases the roster, wont all our efforts be in vain?" "Just do your job!" Huang Wu sharply turned his head, a glint of ferocity flashing in his eyes, "Dont ask what you shouldnt ask, dont try to know what you shouldnt know, or else Ill have you keep your mouth shut forever!" "Yes!" The man immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his body shivering uncontrollably as he quickly withdrew! That was how Huang Wu wasextremely paranoid and never shared his specific plans with anyone. Even though he had followed Huang Wu for over ten years, he still hadnt earned his trust. After watching the man leave, Huang Wu picked up a lighter and lit a cigarette. Surrounded by the smoke, Huang Wus expression gradually darkenedLu Xiaobu, lets play this game slowly! Chapter 505 - 503: Ready to be Embarrassed? [First Update] Chapter 505: Chapter 503: Ready to be Embarrassed? [First Update]While the internet was in an uproar, Lu Xiaobu was actually in the process of selecting commentators. The selection method was to randomly draw a match to commentate on. Those who came were said to be very well-known domestic commentators. However, Lu Xiaobus brows were furrowed the entire time. In a word, what the hell are these?! First group. "Look quick, look quick! Theyre ulting! Wow! Triple kill! Quatary Kill! Penta Kill! This is sick! This is awesome!" "The fight is on! The enemy has five people, we have only three, seems like were gonna lose this one, probably gonna lose the mid tower too, what! They actually started fighting?! What! What! What happened?! The enemy five just got wiped out! Truly wiped out!" Lu Xiaobu was twitching at the corner of his mouth: "Next!" Damn your grandpa, is this what you call commentary?! Is this the reaction of some random bystander? You didnt see anything, you dont know anything, what do I need you for, young master?! ... Second group. "Wah wah wah wah wah! He actually bought a Hurricane! Whats he trying to do?! Wah wah wah! That damage is explosive! Wah wah wah!" Lu Xiaobus face darkened: "Get the hell out of here, Young Master!" This one is even worse than the last! Youre supposed to be a commentator, not to analyze why the player chose that equipment, not to just go wah wah wah! Did you get f***ed?! Or did someone actually do you in?! F*** your grandpa! ... Third group! Another internet fame face stepped forward. "Get lost!" Lu Xiaobu slammed the table and cursed: "Goddamn it, isnt there a single real commentator?! I dont want flower vases! Damn it, if I wanted a few flower vases on the commentators stage, would I need you all?!" Lu Xiaobu was really pissed, even resorting to the word "Old man"! ... Fourth group. During the ban/pick phase. Commentator: "All right, lets see how Team Some will respond, that would be better." Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu felt a little bit relieved at least it wasnt someone screaming willy-nilly. Then, after banning the heroes and picking them up. Commentator: "As expected, just like I predicted." Lu Xiaobus face sagged. Did you f***ing tell the audience about your predictions?! Are you just post-rationalizing now?! Wait a bit more! Lu Xiaobu patiently thought! Then. The commentators post-rationalization number one: "As expected, I just knew it had to be the blue side that took the tower!" Lu Xiaobu clenched his fists! The commentators post-rationalization number two: "Just as I thought, the purple side chose to take the dragon after winning the teamfight!" Lu Xiaobu picked up a teacup! The commentators post-rationalization number three: "Hahaha, just as I thought..." "Go f*** your mother next door!" Lu Xiaobu picked up the teacup and hurled it: "Are you f***ing with me here?! If you think so damn well, then say it! Youre just f***ing post-rationalizing with me here! Get lost!" "Bang!" The teacup smashed to the ground near the commentators feet, scaring him so much that he quickly scuttled away! ... Fifth group. A man came in. Wearing a suit, he seemed to have some substance. "Lets start." Lu Xiaobu gestured with his hands. "Please hold on, Young Master Bu. I have a few questions to ask." Long Zimo suddenly spoke up. "What do you want to ask?" Lu Xiaobu waved to the staff to pause and looked at Long Zimo. This was the first person to ask him a question, and he was quite interested. "What, exactly, are your standards, Young Master Bu?" Long Zimo asked very seriously. "Since you can ask this question, please tell me what you think professionalism should be like." Lu Xiaobu kicked the ball back. "Well then, Ill share my opinion." Long Zimo cleared his throat and said: "First of all, professionalism. This professionalism can be divided into two points. First is the professionalism of the commentary industry, clear articulation, quick thinking, good Mandarin is necessary." "Second is the professionalism regarding esports, of course, currently just regarding LOL specifically, including the depth of understanding of the game, the heroes, and the players. All of these are encompassed here!" Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Listening to Long Zimos analysis, Lu Xiaobus eyes gleamed: "Continue! Well said, a reward of ten thousand!" "Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Bu, I will proceed!" Long Zimo showed a grateful expression: "Besides professionalism, another important aspect is stage presence, which refers to someones expressive ability and charm. After all, a commentator isnt a rigid announcer but needs to be able to engage the audience, so personal charm is very important!" "Keep going, keep going!" Lu Xiaobu was truly interested; this Long Zimo was a bit intriguing! "Finally, it comes down to the partner. In my personal understanding, commentary and crosstalk have something in common. If there is a good partner, its like a straight man and a funny man, giving each other the right prompts at the right time, even bringing back a topic that might stray off, all of these are extremely important!" Long Zimo spoke eloquently and convincingly. "Very good, well said!" Lu Xiaobu stood up and applauded: "It looks like you should be able to do this, right!?" "No, Young Master Bu, to be honest, I cannot. Im too solitary, I might barely be able to achieve the first two, but the last one, I truly cant. In the midst of commentary, I often dominate the conversation! So, Im not suitable, no need for a trial." Long Zimo spoke humbly yet confidently. "Good, for your words, another ten thousand!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand grandly: "Then tell me, among the commentators who came today, who can do it?!" "Thank you, Young Master Bu!" Long Zimo bowed in gratitude, then raised his head and looked at the commentators outside - some excited, some confident, some indignant - and scoffed: "Them? None of them are up to par! Theyre all just wolves in sheeps clothing!" "Oh!?" The corners of Lu Xiaobus mouth curled up, interested in this statement: "Isnt it said that all the famous commentators came today?! How come they are worthless in your eyes?!" "Because they really are worthless, Young Master Bu. Do you know? Their main business isnt commentating at all, but rather being streamers, gaming forum moderators, selling gaming equipment! They now only view commentating as an opportunity for exposure, never treating it as a profession, nor do they bother to research it. With such an attitude, what real skill can they have?!" Long Zimos words were razor-sharp, laden with heavy sarcasm. "So by your words, are you implying that the Heavenly Dynasty has no real commentators?! Should we prepare to be embarrassed in the upcoming global tournament?" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed. Chapter 506 - 504: Collapse at the First Blow [2nd Update] Chapter 506: Chapter 504: Collapse at the First Blow [2nd Update]Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus question, Long Zimo shook his head: "There still are, in our vast Great Heavenly Dynasty, how could there not be?" "Say it." Lu Xiaobus eyes lit up. Given the breadth of Long Zimos vision, which surely everyone has noticed, if this person says theres someone who fits the bill, then even if that person doesnt completely satisfy the criteria, they must at least meet more than eighty percent of it. "The host from Dahong Pavilion on the Qinhu Live Broadcasting platform. This is a hosting duo thats always together, and their live content is primarily commentary, commenting on a variety of competitive matches." Long Zimo mentioned the name of a group. "Dont just see them as hosts, but their understanding of commentary far exceeds everyone present, of course, including myself!" Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I often go to their live room to watch the live broadcast and learn from their commentary." Long Zimo said this with some embarrassment. After all, this action feels a bit like learning skills clandestinely! "Alright." Lu Xiaobu immediately nodded. "Wait, Young Master Bu, are you planning to invite this Dahong Pavilion over to be commentators?!" Long Zimo spoke out to stop Lu Xiaobu. "Of course!" Lu Xiaobu said decisively: "If we are to get someone, we want the best." "I advise Young Master Bu to give up on this idea," Long Zimo poured cold water on Lu Xiaobus excitement. "Whats the problem?" Lu Xiaobu furrowed his brows. The fact that Long Zimo would pour cold water in front of him indicated that this would indeed be quite challenging. "Yes, Dahong Pavilion has signed a long-term contract with Qinhu Live Broadcasting platform, and without their permission, they cant participate in any activities." Long Zimo sighed and said, "Ive tried to invite them out before, but every attempt ended up fruitless. Ive almost become Liu Bei visiting the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang!" "Three visits to the thatched cottage?!" Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched; this kid really had an interesting way of speaking! "Thats right, the three visits to the thatched cottage!" Long Zimo earnestly nodded and said, "Youre akin to Wei Country, powerful and compelling, sweeping through the live broadcasting realm, and Qinhu Live is like Shu Country, whose only reliance is Zhuge Liang. How could they possibly hand over Zhuge Liang?" Listen to how this talk goes, full of literary references, making perfect sense. Other people aside, even Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but applaud him! Seeing Lu Xiaobus expression, Long Zimo let out a wry smile, "I may have shown off a bit, but Young Master Bu must understand the difficulty now, right?" "From your point of view, it is difficult," Lu Xiaobu laughed: "According to your analogy, who am I in the Three Kingdoms?" "Cao Cao! With your possession of the LOL game, just like wielding the emperor to command the princes, an unstoppable force, poised to swallow the world! In the world of live broadcasting, absolutely unrivaled!" Long Zimo said seriously, with fluent expression. It seems, he certainly isnt new to using Three Kingdoms references to describe the current esports industry! Of course, the esports here doesnt specifically refer to competition, but more broadly to the entire field! "Then youre saying that Qinhu Live is Liu Bei?!" Lu Xiaobu asked Long Zimo with a smile while Liang Lan helped him adjust his clothes. This kid was quite interesting, pleasant to chat with. "Correct, although they may be small and weak, they possess a potent tool. If developed properly, they might have a shot at splitting the realm into three." Long Zimo continued. "Are you sure its Liu Bei, not Liu Chan?" Lu Xiaobu adjusted his clothes and walked towards the door, laughing: "If Cao Cao fought Liu Chan, what would that look like?! Ah, no rush to answer. You can think it over carefully." After that Lu Xiaobu left. Todays conversation was quite enjoyable. But now, its time to get down to business! Watching Lu Xiaobus retreating figure, Long Zimo was left dumbfounded. Lu Xiaobus question, whether the other side is Liu Bei or Liu Chan, had him completely bamboozled! Yes, he had only considered that if Lu Xiaobu is Cao Cao, and Dahong Pavilion is Zhuge Liang, then by reflex thought Qinhu Live must be Liu Bei, ready to throw down a challenge! But he had never considered that Zhuge Liangs master might not necessarily be Liu Bei! If the other side was Liu Chan, the incapable emperor! Then it would be just as Young Master Bu said. Cao Cao fighting Liu Chan! One should ask, what would the situation look like if Cao Cao fought Liu Chan?! Theres a phrase that describes itoverwhelm with great force! Back then, even after Cao Cao had passed, his descendants still managed to make Liu Chan not think of Shu. What if Cao Cao was still around?! When he thoroughly realized this point, his eyes lit up with immense adorationYoung Master Bu truly was a man of great talent! Not at all the ignorant good-for-nothing that people claimed he was outside! The staff member continuing with the interviews shrugged when he saw thiswell, another one conquered by Young Master Bu! He could tell that Long Zimo was quite proud, otherwise, he wouldnt have dared to speak so freely in front of Young Master Bu, even with an air of showing off his knowledge. But such a person was easily won over by a few words from Young Master Bu! Alright, time for the routine chantYoung Master Bu is awesome! May he reign over Jianghu for thousands of years! ... And just as Long Zimo had guessed, Cao Cao fighting Liu Chan could only be described with one wordoverwhelmingly. Therefore, merely two hours later, Qinhu Live announced that it had been acquired by Lu Xiaobu, and all their hosts and contracts automatically transferred to Juechen Live Broadcasting! From that moment on, there was no Qinhu Live, only Juechen Live. When he heard the news, the ever-proud Long Zimos eyes nearly burst with stars. For some reason, this complete turnaround felt hilariously absurd! Of course, Lu Xiaobu also interviewed the so-called Dahong Paviliontruly magnificent! Anyway, Lu Xiaobu listened, utterly captivated! Long Zimo really provided a big help, Lu Xiaobu thought cheerfully. With this, Lu Xiaobus directing and commentating lineup was complete, and now it was just a matter of waiting to slap those Korean faces! However, the only issue was that there were some matters that Dahong Pavilion hadnt finished dealing with and they couldnt immediately follow Lu Xiaobu to Shimen. That wasnt really a problem though, since there was still time, it wouldnt be excessive for them to ask for a day off. However! Just that night, at midnight! "Young Master, theres been an accident!" Liang Lan said, her face gloomy, to Lu Xiaobu who was relaxing and gaming. "Whats wrong?!" Lu Xiaobus heart skipped a beat. "The two from Dahong Pavilion had a car accident, theyre currently being resuscitated at the hospital!" Liang Lan said with an icy expression. Lu Xiaobus face turned immediately cold! Someone causing trouble?! Seeking death! Chapter 507 - 505: Coincidentally Insulting the Neighbor [1 Update] Chapter 507: Chapter 505: Coincidentally Insulting the Neighbor [1 Update]Upon hearing the news of a car accident at Dahong Pavilion, Lu Xiaobu immediately stood up: "Lets go, lets go check it out!" "Okay, Young Master, the car is ready!" Liang Lan nodded immediately. She had already called for a car, after all, the Young Master always puts people first! This was the most admired and proudest thing about them at the Lu Group. After all, in this day and age, the hardest things to do are often the simplest! ... They hurried to the hospital non-stop. Outside the emergency room. "Doctor, hows the person?!" Lu Xiaobu asked immediately. "They are out of life-threatening danger now, but they still need follow-up observations." The doctor nodded and said, "Are you the patients family?" "No, Im their company boss. Deduct any necessary expenses directly from here, use the best for everything." Lu Xiaobu took a check from Liang Lan and handed it to the doctor: "Please take care of the payment." "Uh... okay." The doctor hesitated, then nodded and agreed. After all, he could tell that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person! And when he saw the amount on the checkfive million?! As a company boss, to say nothing and immediately give five million?! Hed seen many supposed bosses at the hospital, but never one so straightforward! Although money is not the standard to measure a persons character, this generosity and the people-first approach are indeed commendable! A good boss! He couldnt help but look at the person in the emergency room and thought to himselfthough its unfortunate that you had a car accident, having such a boss is luck within misfortune! "Doctor, can I go in to take a look?" Lu Xiaobu asked eagerly. He was really worried about the safety of the two individuals; is anything more important than human life!? "Wait a moment! Ill arrange it, its not appropriate right now!" The doctor spoke. "Okay! I will follow the arrangements!" Lu Xiaobu didnt argue; in the hospital, not listening to the doctor, are you asking for death?! Seeing Lu Xiaobus cooperation, the doctor felt even more admirationso wealthy yet so polite and understanding of rules, is this what real upper-class people are like?! While the doctor marveled, he left. Soon, he had arranged everything, and Lu Xiaobu finally saw the two people. "Are you two alright? It may sound a bit cliche, but still, if you need anything, just say it!" Lu Xiaobu looked at the two people lying in the hospital beds, and a surge of furious emotions welled up in his heart. This was definitely someone screwing with him! What he hated most was those who, instead of directly targeting him, implicated others in their schemes! This matter was far from over! "President Lu, about this..." Dalong from Dahong Pavilion said with guilt and regret: "We cant do the commentary on stage anymore! Were truly sorry! We had agreed to it in good faith..." He harbored no resentment; natural and man-made disasters cant be blamed on others! Moreover, it was Young Master Xiaobu who gave them the opportunity to fulfill their dreams; its even less possible to blame him! And the other member of Dahong PavilionHonghong, at that moment, suddenly couldnt stop crying, with tears falling nonstop. Men have tears, but they dont easily shed them, except at the place of true sorrow! Just by watching their usual live stream content, it was clear how much they loved commentary. They finally got the chance to commentate a national competition, even a global one, something theyd dreamed of! And now, because of a car accident, their dreams had burst like a bubble! "Honghong! Its alright!" Dalong chastised Honghong, but the corners of his eyes couldnt help getting a bit moist! "Dont get too emotional, both of you. Focus on recovering. Rest assured, there is still a chance!" Lu Xiaobu stared seriously into their eyes as he spoke. "What?!" Dalong was shocked, almost sitting up: "President Lu, are you saying we still have a chance?!" Honghong also stopped crying, looking incredulously at Lu Xiaobu. "Of course, theres a chance!" Lu Xiaobu said decisively: "However, its not the national competition, but the global competition. You two need to heal properly, at the very least get the injuries on your upper bodies well!" "Really?! Really?!" Dalong, somewhat excited, tried to sit up, but his body wouldnt allow it! Lu Xiaobu hurriedly walked over. Dalong immediately grabbed Lu Xiaobus hand, gripping it so forcefully, even trembling continuously: "President Lu, are you telling the truth?!" Lu Xiaobu felt the force from his hand, which was almost painful, and said with conviction: "I guarantee with my name, Lu Xiaobu, that as long as you two recover, the global competition commentary is yours!" "Good! I believe President Lu!" Dalong said excitedly, and then he looked at Honghong: "Honghong, did you hear that?! President Lu has given us his assurance!" "Yes, yes, I heard it!" Honghong was equally thrilled, nodding his head quickly. At this moment, he remembered something and suddenly spoke with immense embarrassment: "That, President Lu, I lost my composure earlier!" "Tears shed for a dream are nothing to be ashamed of!" Lu Xiaobu smiled: "Focus on healing! Im leaving now!" Lu Xiaobus smile at the moment was so sunny and convincing that it warmed the hearts of the two people in Dahong Pavilion immensely, as if a sun were shining within their hearts! "Creak!" Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu pushed the door and left. And just at that moment! Instantly! Lu Xiaobus smile froze, the warm smile turning into an iceberg, then crumbled into icy fragments, and disappeared! Whoever did this, no matter who you are, no matter if youre at the ends of the earth, wait for me! What bullshit car accident, bullshit accident, he didnt believe a damn word! Right when he had just decided on the commentators, they had a car accident?! All coincidence?! Ill curse your next-door neighbor!!! And at this moment, all around Lu Xiaobu were voices of praise. The doctor from earlier had spread the word about Lu Xiaobus actions! "This is the good boss! So young too!" "Yeah, wealthy, nice, and handsome too, just like a Prince Charming, isnt he?!" "If I could marry someone like that, even my ancestors would smoke out of pride!" "Your familys ancestors can probably only smoke out of shame, not pride. Didnt you see the beautiful woman by his side?! Do you have anything that compares to her?!" "That really hits home!" "..." Amidst those voices, Lu Xiaobu strode out of the hospital. And at this time, Liang Lan brought another piece of news: "Young Master, Long Zimo has disappeared! We cant contact him through any means!" "Good! Very good!" A cold arc formed on the corner of Lu Xiaobus mouth. Long Zimo disappeared?! Covering tracks ahead of time?! Are you sure you can cover them up?! Chapter 508 - 506: The Mouse Swallows the True Dragon [Second Update] Chapter 508: Chapter 506: The Mouse Swallows the True Dragon [Second Update]Zhenxi. Huang Family. Huang Wu was resting with his eyes closed amidst the swirling smoke. Opposite him sat a person, none other than Long Zimo. However, Long Zimo was not in a good state at the moment. He was bound to a chair, his mouth taped shut; his eyes were bloodshot, veins popping on his face as he kept whining about something! "Hu!" Huang Wu stood up, crushing the cigarette butt in the ashtray, got up, walked over to Long Zimo, and looked down at him with a condescending attitude, "You really are something, my men hadnt even gone looking for you, and here you are, walking right into the net!" "Wu wu wu!" Long Zimo kept roaring, but couldnt utter a single word. "Want to talk? Ill allow you to speak, its fine." Huang Wu reached out to tear off the tape sealing Long Zimos mouth but suddenly stopped halfway, tilted his head, and then said to Long Zimo, "By the way, dont try that spitting trick with me. This isnt a TV drama, you spit at me, I might make sure you never spit again! Of course, forget about speaking as well!" His words carried neither sadness nor joy, his tone flat and bland, yet the force behind them was incredibly sharp and cruel! "Splash!" After Huang Wu finished speaking, he ripped off the tape sealing Long Zimos mouth. "You underestimate me too much, I wouldnt do that!" Long Zimo looked at Huang Wu, his eyes filled with disdain and anger, yet his words remained remarkably calm! "Very good, I do admire your eyes that look down upon everyone." Huang Wu applauded, but whether there was any true admiration in it was really unknown. At this moment, Huang Wu suddenly said with a hint of curiosity, "Before you ask me any questions, how about you answer one of mine? Such as yourself, do you admire anyone?! Of course, aside from those two kids from Dahong Pavilion, Im talking about a real figure!" "There is! Of course, there is! There wasnt before, but now there is!" Long Zimo declared emphatically. "Its not me, is it." Huang Wu half-jokingly, half-seriously said. Truth be told, gaining recognition from someone so stubborn and unyielding gave a sense of achievement! Its just like how the ancient Emperors always liked to fuss over some high-minded, so-called talented individuals! "You?! Not worthy!" Long Zimo sneered, "A rat who only knows how to scheme in the sewers, worthy of my admiration?!" Listen to how he speaksthough without a single swear word, it was so piercing! Yet, Huang Wu wasnt the least bit angry, instead, he became even more intrigued, "Oh? In your eyes, Im just a rat, then who is the cat?! Lu Xiaobu?! You admire him?!" "Yes, I admire him! But hes not a cat, hes a true Dragon!" Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Long Zimo said fervently, even fanatically, "Compared to him, youre nothing but a rat!" "Tsk tsk tsk, such high praise, a true Dragon! Im starting to feel jealous!" Huang Wu continued in his half-joking, half-serious manner. He was actually a bit envious. But then, he added pensively, "Tell me, if a so-called rat gnaws a so-called true Dragon down to just a skeletal frame, then who is the real Dragon?!" Huang Wu clearly had no intention of seeking an answer to that question. After he finished speaking, he sat back down on the sofa, crossing his hands and narrowing his eyes slightly: "Now you can ask your question, I might just answer two of your questions!" "You did it on purpose! Definitely on purpose! You deliberately led me to find Lu Xiaobu, and then had Lu Xiaobu seek out Dahong Pavilion!" Long Zimo spoke of this matter, his eyes starting to show signs of Blood Silk once again! How could he be so stupid, to naively believe Huang Wus ostensibly righteous and grandiloquent words! "Yes, indeed, I was doing a good deed! You needed someones recognition, Dahong Pavilion needed an opportunity to demonstrate its ambitions, and Lu Xiaobu needed talent like youkilling three birds with one stone!" Huang Wu spread his hands: "Is there anything wrong with what Ive done?!" "But! You sabotaged Dahong Pavilion! You caused them to have a car accident!!!" Long Zimo bellowed furiously: "Do you not understand? This is destroying the future of the Heavenly Dynastys esports! This is making the Heavenly Dynasty lose face in front of the whole world! You traitor, you criminal!!!" His rage was beyond description with words. He had never hated someone this much before! He had always revered the ancient literatis concept of sacrificing oneself for justice, of the noble and clear distinction of putting the greater good above personal interest! This was evident from the fact that, even though he was clearly the most skilled candidate in the initial interviews, he did not hesitate to recommend the obscure Dahong Pavilion! Therefore, similarly, he despised those like Huang Wu, who are selfish and self-centered, who forsake the greater good for personal interest, and who completely disregard the bigger picture for personal gains, especially when it almost cost two human lives! "Shh!" Huang Wu made a silencing gesture, speaking indifferently: "Young man, you can eat the wrong food, but you cant speak recklessly! I am the good person who offered you a chance for cooperation! As for the car accident you mentioned, I have no idea about it! Who had an accident?! When did they have an accident?! Could it be Dahong Pavilion?! Gasp! Thats too bad, isnt it?!" Listen to that, isnt it infuriating?! Even an ordinary person would feel their blood boil upon hearing such blatant lies, let alone Long Zimo! "You are shameless." Long Zimo roared, his neck veins bulging! But Huang Wu ignored him, continuing: "As for the loss of face you mentioned, thats even less of my concern. Lu Xiaobu is in charge of game production, and Lu Xiaobu is the one organizing the events. If they dont do well, it will indeed be embarrassing, but what does that have to do with me?!" "Shameless! Shameless! Shameless!!!" Long Zimo was so angry he could barely form his words. "Oh, right, now that you mention it, I remember that Lu Xiaobu is indeed in a bit of a precarious situation!" Huang Wu said as if he had just remembered: "Look, Korea is eyeing us like a tiger watching its prey, waiting to laugh at him. Plus, he is the head of the LOL game company. If he loses face internationally, then Lu Xiaobu will inevitably become the public enemy of the Heavenly Dynasty." "By then, what about Cola! What about Zhicheng IT! What about Brain Black Gold! What about Lao Ganma! And so on and so forth! Im afraid no one will buy from them! Thats truly a pity!" Huang Wu said with an extremely regretful tone. But inadvertently, a hint of smugness and ferocity flashed in his eyes. Lu Xiaobu, your end is nearing! "Ah!" Long Zimo could only express his fury with crazed roaring! The chair beneath him was shaking, a reflection of his physical struggle, as well as the struggle and self-reproach in his heart! And at this moment. Huang Wus phone rangit was a message from one of his subordinates. "What?!" Upon seeing the message, Huang Wus brows furrowedthis was not what he had expected at all! Chapter 509 - 507: You’re Going to See a Doctor! [First Update] Chapter 509: Chapter 507: Youre Going to See a Doctor! [First Update]While Huang Wu and Long Zimo were having their chat, Lu Xiaobu was sitting in a car on his way home. "System, prepare some special-effects medicine for the two kids from Dahong Pavilion, but remember not the kind that works instantly. We dont want to start a riot, theyre getting too much attention now!" Lu Xiaobu seemed to be resting with closed eyes, but in reality, he was communicating with the system. "Dont worry, Ill get you the medicine in a bit. You have someone give it to them, it will have a slow onset and should have them back to normal just a few days before the start of the global competition." The system was indifferent. Medicine that works instantly is hard to find; there are plenty of options for those that restore health slowly and theyre easy to get! "Good, second thing, help me prepare the stuff needed for the commentary. This national competition, Im going to do it myself. Isnt there someone targeting my commentary? Lets see how good he really is!" A cold glint flashed in Lu Xiaobus eyes. Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Okay, Ill think of something." The system hesitated but still agreed, "However, you should also get familiar with this yourself during this time. After all, Ive said that permanent enhancements are nearly impossible at this stage." Thats much harder than the medicine, but hell try to find a way, nonetheless! "I understand, go handle it." Lu Xiaobu nodded. At this moment, Liang Lan extended her delicate hand to gently massage Lu Xiaobu, "Young Master, should I go look for suitable candidates nationwide right now?" "Look for them? Wheres the time? If Im not mistaken, the internet is probably going nuts by now, right?" Lu Xiaobu enjoyed the comfortable massage from Liang Lan, with a cold smile tugging at his lips! "Um... Yes!" Liang Lan sighed lightly, responding anyway. She originally thought it better not to let Young Master know about this yet. In fact, from the moment of the car accident, the noise of the evenings discussions had peaked! Even as the Lu Group remained silent, Young Master Bus reputation had begun to be overwhelmed, as mainstream media gradually joined the fray. It was normal, after all, theres a limit to human effort. Young Masters influence is great, but its not possible to overturn the situation without saying a word. How could those in the media speak for them without any material? Blabbering without proof, theyre likely to be besieged! Of course, at this stage, theyre just lightly touching on the subject, not taking sides or making their stance clear. Young Masters influence still holds up! "Prepare to hold a news conference. Tell them the selection for the commentators has been decided, its going to be Dahong Pavilion and myself." As Lu Xiaobu spoke, he took the phone from Liang Lans hands and opened the online discussions. "Young Master? Dahong Pavilion? And you?" Liang Lan was taken aback. Where did this combination come from?! With all due disrespect, an injured pair plus the habitually commanding Young Master!? What kind of commentary team is this?! Dahong Pavilions pair plays the sympathy card while Young Master gives orders?! Just imagine the scene, the three sitting there with Young Master in the middle, each side holding a mascot just like a mummy?! Then Young Master opens his mouth: "Lets start, Sister Lan pour me a cup of tea, and hey, is the blue team daft? Hurry up and go for the big Dragon, theyve got no visibility! The purple team, cut off their retreat, yes, yes, spot on, hes blustering, theres no teammate behind him! Theyve got no ultimates!" Can you imagine that picture?! Really, Liang Lans lips twitched a bit. And forget about rules, saying the teams cant hear the commentary, protesting that Young Master wouldnt do such a thing. Arent you aware of Young Masters ability to mess things up? Are these even issues for Young Master?! If you think not, please, raise your hand! At this moment, Lu Xiaobu was looking at the comments on his phone. "Demand the reveal of the commentators list!" "Exactly, Lu Xiaobu, its not that big a deal, just say it!" "Just a list, why the delay? Is there something fishy going on?!" "Lu Xiaobu, we trust you so much, you cant let our Heavenly Dynasty lose face!" "There are only a few commentators, why wouldnt you reveal it?!" "Refund, refund, I dont want to be embarrassed on site!" "This is an international competition! Since you, Lu Xiaobu, are both the owner of LOL and the organizer of the event, if you make a fool of ourselves, we will not let you off the hook!" "Strongly request to publish the list, otherwise, refund our tickets!" "..." The online noise is through the roof. Even more people are clamoring for ticket refunds! Theres no helping it, netizens will be netizens. While they mean well, they do not consider how difficult it is to manage such events or how many things need to be taken into account. They just feel entitled to know and that they have the right to be informed. Not telling them means there must be something fishy! Some may say, why not just ignore them. To those who say this, I can only say youre oversimplifying things. If we ignore them, under the push of some unseen force behind the scenes, it would be easy to trigger a ticket refund frenzy! The logic here is the same as manipulation in the stock market! Once a ticket refund craze is triggered, with masses of unaware viewers following suit, either refunding their tickets or not attending, can you imagine the outcome?! Oh, when the game starts, the huge venue barely has an audience, then under the eyes of people from all over the world, itll be like smearing yellow mud on your pants - not shit, but still looking like shit! Shameful even if its not supposed to be shameful! Hence, this online noise is something that often cannot be ignored! "Go ahead, do as I said." Lu Xiaobu shut off his phone and waved his hand as he spoke. "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan sighed in response. Between the right choice and Young Masters orders, she will always choose the Young Masters orders! "Li Jin, notify Zhang Benhu to have someone constantly watch over the vicinity of Dahong Pavilion Hospital to safeguard their security." Lu Xiaobu continued with his arrangements. "Yes, Young Master, should we also be on the lookout for any suspicious individuals?!" Li Jin nodded and then offered his suggestion. "That would work too, but I doubt itll be of much use. The opponent wont easily slip up." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. "Yes, Young Master!" Li Jin answered. "Young Master, whats next?" Liang Lan asked. "Whats next? Go home and get some sleep." Lu Xiaobu stretched languidly and calmly stated, "Now is not the time for us to panic." However, a fleeting sharp glint could be seen in his eyes. ... Huang Family. Right now, Huang Wus phone displayed a message from his subordinate. "President Huang, Lu Xiaobu has already announced the commentators names, its himself and two from Dahong Pavilion!" Huang Wus brow furrowed deeply, his fingers drumming on the table beside him. To be honest, his reaction was the same as Liang Lan upon first seeing the lineup: utterly baffled. Two wounded Dahong Pavilion members who cant even stand, plus a capricious Lu Xiaobu? Is this some kind of joke?! "Someone come here." Huang Wu reapplied the duct tape over Long Zimos mouth, then called out. "President Huang." The previously seen man in black bowed his head as he entered without daring to look around. "Go to the hospital and check on Dahong Pavilions injuries," Huang Wu ordered indifferently. "Yes," the man in black turned and left. "Wait, youre going like that?!" Huang Wus eyes narrowed, a flash of displeasure passing through them, "Youre going to see a doctor!" While saying this, Huang Wu nonchalantly dropped the fruit knife from the table to the ground. Everyone understood the implication. Chapter 510 - 508 Hunter [Second Update] Chapter 510: Chapter 508 Hunter [Second Update]Huang Wu finished speaking and threw the fruit knife on the ground. "Clang!" The fruit knife hit the floor, making a crisp sound. The man in black looked at the sharp fruit knife and swallowed. He of course understood Huang Wus meaning; it was to make him self-mutilate, pose as an injured person seeking medical attention, rather than an easily recognizable investigative person. Although he had done this several times, every time he saw the sharp blade, he couldnt help but tremble with fear. After all, its not so easy to harm oneself! Nevertheless, he bent down... Picked up the fruit knife... Placed a towel on his leg... Gritted his teeth and lifted the fruit knife... "Thud!" The blade deeply pierced into his thigh. The blood was absorbed by the towel on top, so as not to dirty Huang Wus floor. "Boss Huang, Im off to get medical attention." The man in black inhaled sharply through clenched teeth and said. A satisfied smile curled on Huang Wus lips. No matter what tricks Lu Xiaobu pulled, as long as the injuries at Dahong Pavilion werent healed, he was still under his control. He then turned his head and no longer looked at the man in black. His cold demeanor was apparent! ... At this moment online. Upon seeing Lu Xiaobus published commentary list, public opinion was overwhelmingly incredulous. "Lu Xiaobu, are you joking! This is not something to jest about!" "Yes! How can you do this! Dahong Pavilion? Who is that?! Why havent I heard of them?!" "The commentary from Dahong Pavilion is actually decent; Ive watched their livestreams, but Young Master Bu, you participating yourself, thats just fooling around!" "Thats right, thats right, this is no joking matter!" "..." Huang Family. "Boss Huang, the two people from Dahong Pavilion are still the same, no recovery." The man in black, limping and holding his newly treated leg, reported. "Okay, you may leave." Huang Wu didnt even glance at the man, continuously scrolling on his phone, and casually said. "Yes!" A chill ran through the heart of the man in black, but he still left. "Hey, continue, also, send out the anonymous tip." After seeing the man in black leave, Huang Wu took out another phone, called, and spoke. After hanging up the phone, Huang Wu ominously said: "Lu Xiaobu, lets see what you can do now! In this situation, how are you going to play with me!" Meanwhile. Lu Family. "Young Master, theres news from the journalists, they received an anonymous tip that Dahong Pavilion was in a car accident, they really cant suppress it anymore, theyll have problems if they dont report it," Liang Lan said with a grim expression. This Black Hand behind the scenes is really striking one blow after another! "No worries, let them report it, tell them to go all out with the coverage, the bigger the better! However, warn them, they can report the facts, but dont let me catch them slandering!" Lu Xiaobu nodded and said: "Also, regarding the reward they are due, you oversee it." "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan left. "Young Master, sorry, Zhang Benhu said there was no discovery of anything unusual, no suspicious persons." Li Jin reported in a low voice. He cursed inwardly, this Zhang Benhu is really useless, obviously everything has already been investigated, but he still says he saw nothing! "Yeah, normal, let them keep watching, though pointless. Oh, take one million over to him, let him distribute it among those brothers; tasks must have their benefits." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "Yes." Li Jin also went down. Lu Xiaobu always remembered to reward his people who worked for him, whereas Huang Wu was exactly the opposite, the contrast between the two was indeed stark! ... Just an hour later. The expos was released. The already turbulent public opinion, due to this expos, was pushed to a climax! "According to anonymous tips, a car accident occurred at Dahong Pavilion, according to the injuries, hes out of the competition commentary" "Lu Xiaobu faces numerous difficulties, how will he resolve them?" "The list of commentators had been leaked, will last-minute changes lead to unforeseen consequences?" "Korea loudly mocks, with an arrogant attitude, how to rebut?" "Can Lu Xiaobu still create miracles?" "..." With these news coming out, the online public opinion grew even louder! "What the hell?! Shit, didnt even know who was commenting, and now, straight into a car accident!" "What is this supposed to mean?! Are we from the Heavenly Dynasty destined to be humiliated?!" "Look at those Koreans attitude, it pisses me off!" "Lu Xiaobu, what the hell are you doing?! What do you want?!" "If we end up being humiliated in front of Korea, I wont forgive you!!!" "Three commentators, two of them had car accidents, and the last one is Lu Xiaobu, what the hell is this!" "Shit! Shit! Shit!" "..." The Koreans jumped out at this time, utterly mocking! "Tsks tsk tsk, oh, poor thing." "Come on, who would believe this setup! First, they bring in an unheard-of commentator, then a car accident sends him to the hospital, so they can nobly blame the poor commentary on a natural calamity, who would believe that!" "Lu Xiaobu, these little tricks wont work on us!" "Really, its shameful! People from the Heavenly Dynasty only know these petty tactics!" "Those cursing from the Heavenly Dynasty, shut up, take a good look at your news, look at the timings of the accident and when the list was announced, the accident happened before the list was published, this proves our guess is right!" "Dont deceive yourselves, it probably wont be long before Lu Xiaobu changes the list of commentators, and if it goes wrong, hell say: Oops, cant help it, its a natural disaster! Apologize, and its over!" "Hey hey, dont start, now that you mention it, the Heavenly Dynasty often uses apologies, their sports events, did you forget? Apologizing every year! All sorts of excuses!" "HAHAHAHA! It killed me, are they inheriting a fine tradition?" Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "..." Hear that, isnt it irritating!? Damn it, they actually mixed up Lu Xiaobus esports career with that sports career! Online, the explosion was even more severe! Countless gamers were furious to the extreme! This is too damn annoying, so annoying its hard to eat or sleep! They all shouted online! "Lu Xiaobu, come out! You must beat the hell out of those Koreans!" "Come out and say something!" "Yeah, you cant be a shrinking turtle!" "Our game, our competition, is being looked down upon, it hurts my heart! It hurts!!" "Tell us, tell them, we will definitely handle it well!" "You already have a perfect plan, right!?" "..." Huang Wu looked at these comments with a smug and fierce smile, "Lu Xiaobu, others cant compete with you, but in my view, you are just so-so!" He now felt like a predator who had set up a trap, waiting for the prey to be ensnared! But is he really the Hunter?! Chapter 511 - 509 Coming to Kill You [1st Release] Chapter 511: Chapter 509 Coming to Kill You [1st Release]Huang Wu was feeling smug at home, celebrating the success of his own plan. Even in his excitement, he opened a bottle of treasured fine wine and started drinking on his own. At that moment. "Ding ding ding." Someone knocked on his door. "Who?!" Huang Wus brows furrowed sharply. His people would definitely call him before coming in, they wouldnt just knock directlythis must be an outsider! But even if it was someone from the outside looking for him, they would need to make an appointment! However, his question was met with no response! "Ding ding ding." No one spoke; the knocking on the door continued. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Huh?!" Huang Wus brows furrowed deeply, he stood up, walked to the door, and looked outside through the peephole. Instantly! His pupils shrunk to the size of a pinhole. What?! Lu Xiaobu?! Why is he here?! Yes, it wasnt someone else knocking at the door, it was indeed Lu Xiaobu! Lu Xiaobu, who had been treated as prey by Huang Wu, didnt walk into the trap but instead, came to his doorstep! Instantly, the wine he had just drunk evaporated into sweat! All drunkenness was gone. He looked through the peephole at Lu Xiaobu outside, falling into hesitation. He didnt know whether he should run now! Finally, he gritted his teeth. Damn it, not running! First, running away would confirm his guilt! Second, with Lu Xiaobus bodyguards around, he couldnt outrun them! So. He took a deep breath and opened the door. "Young Master Lu, hello, what wind brought you here?!" With a happy smile, Huang Wu reached out his hand. "What wind? A wicked wind!" Lu Xiaobu didnt even glance at Huang Wus hand, and walked straight in as if it were his own home. This left Huang Wu, who was still reaching out, turning shades from white to blue on his face! This is his home, his territory, why are you so arrogant, Lu Xiaobu?! However, even though he was seething with rage inside, he dared not express his anger! If he really had the power to confront Lu Xiaobu, why would he have been so cautious and careful before?! "I wonder what important matter brings Young Master Lu here?!" Huang Wu said calmly, without a trace of guilt. "Me? To kill." Lu Xiaobu said lightly. "Bang!" Huang Wus heart seemed to stop beating for a moment upon hearing these two words, and sweat appeared again on his forehead. He forced a smile and said, "Young Master Lu you cant joke like that! Theres no one here for you to kill." "I came to kill you." Lu Xiaobus words were as straightforward as they could be. As he spoke, he picked up an antique vase from the side and played with it in his hands. "Gulp!" Huang Wus heart started racing wildly! If he still didnt understand this, he would be a fool. It seems Lu Xiaobu was really certain that it was him who did it! His hand involuntarily reached towards his waist. "I suggest you dont move." Zhang Meng patted Huang Wus shoulder from behind. "Whoosh!" Huang Wus body was instantly soaked with sweat, he violently gulped down saliva. When did this bodyguard get behind him?! Doesnt this mean his life is in someone elses hands?! He never doubted that Zhang Meng could end his life instantly, given his personality, he definitely would have thoroughly investigated the matters concerning the people around Lu Xiaobu. Everyone is afraid of death, no one wants to die. So, he dared not move. Zhang Meng took a sharp dagger from Huang Wus waist and threw it aside. Then he carefully checked Huang Wus body again, and found a tiny knife inside his shoe. Seeing that all his gear had been removed, Huang Wu actually relaxed. Might as well be a lost cause! He sat down on the ground, looking up at Lu Xiaobu: "How did you know it was me?!" "Why couldnt I know it was you?!" Lu Xiaobu, bored of the antique vase in his hands, directly threw it into the corner, shattering it to pieces. "My plan was seamless, you shouldnt have found any clue!" Huang Wu said resentfully. "Indeed, I didnt find any clues, you did it perfectly." Lu Xiaobu was generous with his praise. "Then you!" Huang Wus pupils dilated instantly, momentarily forgetting about his own life and death. He just wanted to know, how Lu Xiaobu managed to see through his perfect plan. "How should I put it? Maybe you were too afraid of me." Lu Xiaobu sat on the sofa looking down at Huang Wu: "Because you were so afraid of me, you were extremely careful, cautious in every way, thinking over every decision numerous times." "So what?! I think Im not wrong!" Huang Wu said through clenched teeth. "I never said you were wrong, but what I want to tell you is that when you overly complicate a simple matter, you forget the most fundamental things." Lu Xiaobu said: "And me, Im just a lazy person who doesnt like to think too much, always preferring to think simply." "Whats the simplest question?!" Huang Wu still didnt understand. "Ah, youre a businessman, you should know the saying all under heaven is in turmoil for the sake of benefit. I ask you, hosting the global LOL championship, whose interests would I offend?" "No one, you didnt offend anyones interests, because that game LOL is your game." Huang Wu had of course thought about this. Exactly because of this, he had always been sure Lu Xiaobu couldnt find him! But now, Lu Xiaobu tells him that it was precisely this point through which he found him, which baffled him even more. "Why do you always think so stubbornly?!" Lu Xiaobu was speechless: "Since it didnt offend anyones interests, isnt it very likely that it was for revenge?" "Young Master, although I have many enemies, there are not many with the wealth and capability to plan step by step like this." "Moreover, the hatred enough to wish me dead recently seems to only involve your son, Huang Wenta!" "Speaking of which, dont mention Mo Hong anymore, that kid already apologized to me a long time ago." Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Huang Wus face instantly turned pale! Just as Lu Xiaobu said, he was like a fool, only considering what was before him and not what was behind. He was like a fully armed warrior, except, the armor was only in front, and the back was completely exposed! "No, thats not right!" Huang Wu suddenly snapped: "If what youre saying is true, you should have guessed it was me right after the car accident, why did you keep on investigating?!" "I guessed it might be you, but I wasnt sure." Lu Xiaobu scoffed: "Your anonymous tip-off was setting a trap for me, but wasnt that also my bait for you?! You really took the bait!" "What do you mean I took the bait?! I clearly did nothing!" Huang Wu shouted as he struggled. Chapter 512 - 510 Digging One’s Own Grave [2nd Update] Chapter 512: Chapter 510 Digging Ones Own Grave [2nd Update]Hearing Huang Wus words, Lu Xiaobu nodded, "Indeed, you did nothing, and yet you did everything." Seeing Huang Wus confused expression, Lu Xiaobu scoffed, "I told you, youre too scared of me. So much so that you didnt even dare let your son go online to curse me a few times. You confiscated all his communication devices, didnt you!" "So, here comes the question, someone who was almost beaten to death by me, upon seeing me in trouble, didnt even kick me when I was down, why not!?" "Firstly, this person is dead, which obviously isnt right, your son is alive and well." "Secondly, he has his eyes on something bigger!" "What do you think, Huang Wu!?" Lu Xiaobu felt thirsty, walked over to Huang Wus refrigerator by himself, took out a can of Coke, and started drinking. At this moment, Huang Wu seemed to have had all his energy drained, collapsing onto the ground, his face pale and sweating profusely. He had never imagined that his plan, which he thought was flawless, had been a losing game from the very start. He thought he was the hunter, but in the end, he was the prey in Lu Xiaobus eyes. And the type of prey that gets eaten whenever the predator pleases. This could be seen from the fact that although Lu Xiaobu had suspicions, he still had time to verify them! Is this the real Lu Xiaobu?! Such a terrifying person! After all, though what Lu Xiaobu said was simple, it made sense. But ask anyone else, anyone! In Lu Xiaobus situation, who could remain so calm under the pressures of a car accident, online public opinion, and foreign intervention!? A saying goes, The player is confused, the bystander sees clearly. Lu Xiaobu is clearly playing the game, yet he has the perspective of God, how terrifying is that! "Alright, are we done talking now? Youre quite the enlightened one." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently. "Wait, I have one last question!" Huang Wu suddenly mustered the strength from somewhere and demanded loudly, "Why did you make me an enlightened ghost!?" He was puzzled. According to Lu Xiaobus personality, it was unlikely he would engage in useless banter. "Although I avenge grudges, I also repay kindnesses," Lu Xiaobu walked to the door without turning back, "You were indeed plotting against me, but you also ended up helping me, so I let you die with clear understanding!" Having said that, Lu Xiaobu left. "Ha ha ha ha! I understand now, I understand! I spun my own cocoon, spun my own cocoon!" Huang Wu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing until he cried. Do you know what he helped Lu Xiaobu with? He helped Lu Xiaobu kill himself! Because he created the public opinion that perfectly concealed his own death. What is this like?! Its like Lu Xiaobu telling him, Im going to kill you, go dig your own grave! And then, he obediently went and dug his own grave, and jumped in to wait for death! Tragic! Tragic! He thought he had calculated everyone, had set a trap for Lu Xiaobu, but in the end, he realized he was actually digging his own grave! Lu Xiaobu, Lu Xiaobu! I die not wronged!!! But still, I want to sayyour moms a whore! Youre too lazy to even bury me, making me dig my own grave, right?! As for Huang Wenta, he never gave it a thought. Without his protection, could Huang Wenta survive?! Thus! Huang Wu, perished! Later checks revealed that it was an indoor smoking that led to a fire! As for Huang Wenta, upon hearing of his fathers mishap, he became extremely agitated and accidentally jumped out of the window, perishing! And just like before, all these news were silently overshadowed by bigger news. This, is what Huang Wu referred to asdigging his own grave! ... Lu Xiaobu returned home and started preparing his commentary materials. He prepared a pile of related materials, about commentary, about LOL itself. Probably the first time in his life he worked so hard. While reading, the system spoke, "Host, I found it." "What did you find?" Lu Xiaobu closed the materials and asked. He was quite looking forward to it. "Temporary Attribute." The system said with slight pride, "I found a permanent solution for you." "How so?" Lu Xiaobu asked curiously. "Look in the store, apart from Basic Attributes, Luck Aura, Ive prepared a new product for you, Temporary Attribute." The system introduced, "This Temporary Attribute encompasses all sorts, you can rent or buy it temporarily, like this time, you can buy the Charm Attribute." "With the Charm Attribute, every word you say, every action you make can be enough to attract people." "So when youre commentating, even if your skills are a bit lacking, you can rely on charm to make up for it!" "Its like a piece of gold, maybe its not very pretty, but that doesnt stop people from liking it." The system explained proudly. He had thought about this solution for a long time. Not for anything else, once this product is introduced, the Host can handle many things on his own, and he can be lazy... cough cough, wrong, not be lazy. "Oh? That sounds good." Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow and opened the store, "But, why is there only one Charm Attribute!?" sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "The other familiar ones need to be unlocked, I can only help you get the most urgent one first." The system spread its hands helplessly. "Alright, well talk about future matters later, first tell me about the pricing." Lu Xiaobu nodded, signifying acceptance. "The prices vary with different attributes, the more special the attribute, the higher the price. For the Charm Attribute, its one hundred fifty thousand per point, one hundred points would be fifteen million, and its only valid for one day." The system provided the pricing. Chapter 514 - 512 Chapter 514: 512After settling the matter, Lu Xiaobu felt light and carefree. So, its time to splurge! "Lets go, Sister Lan, time to splurge." Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Alright, Young Master." Liang Lan responded, "Where to?!" "Let me think." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, "Lets buy computers. Isnt there a competition coming up? We should pick a few good ones." "Alright, Young Master, there happens to be a computer exhibition in Magic City, Ill arrange that." Liang Lan nodded and pulled out her phone to start organizing. ... Soon, Liang Lan had everything arranged, and Lu Xiaobu flew to Magic City in his private jet. The weather in Magic City was that humid kind, cold and damp in winter, hot and humid in summer. So Lu Xiaobu, who was used to living in the north, didnt adapt so well after getting off the plane. He made his way to the computer exhibition. No sooner had he entered than he was recognized. It couldnt be helped, Lu Xiaobu brought quite an entourage this time. Given the spectacle, anyone could recognize them. "Young Master Bu, its Young Master Bu!" "Hello, Young Master Bu!" "Welcome, Young Master Bu!" "Young Master Bu, may you reign for thousands of generations, dominating the Jianghu!" Ah, the last one is clearly a fan of Lu Xiaobu! And the security at the computer exhibition promptly formed a protective circle around Lu Xiaobu and his group to prevent any disturbance. Lu Xiaobu was happy, "Hello everyone!" Ah, no cash rewards this time, too many people. Its not about the money, but giving out cash here could easily cause chaos! "Hello, Young Master Bu, I am the person in charge hereZhou Kun, just call me Little Zhou. If you have any requests, just let me know." The person in charge of the computer exhibitionZhou Kunran over, nodding and bowing. His respect was not just because of Lu Xiaobus fame, but also because of seeing the God of Wealth. Oh, dont get me wrong, not because of money giving, but because as the owner of LOL, with the booming business of LOL, their computer industry is also thriving. You tell me, shouldnt he show some extra respect to Lu Xiaobu? "Alright, show me some computers." Lu Xiaobu gestured. "Alright, right this way, Young Master Bu." Zhou Kun made an inviting gesture, "Do you have any specific requirements, Young Master Bu?!" "Requirements? The most expensive, the best, just these two points." Lu Xiaobu nodded. Hearing this, Zhou Kuns lips twitched, well, that question was needless. But he could understand Lu Xiaobus viewpoint. So, he thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Bu, we actually have one computer that meets your requirements. Its the treasure of our exhibition!" "Sure, take me to see it." Lu Xiaobu was interested. As they progressed, people around them kept cheering whenever they saw Lu Xiaobu. "Young Master Bu, I love you!" "Young Master Bu, I want to have your monkeys!" "Young Master Bu, are you free tonight?!" "..." Ah, those above are envious. Those below are jealous. "Psht, whats so great about him, he just has some money." "Squanderer!" "Showing off, even buying a computer needs so many people, with bodyguards and security and all." "Rich enough to burn money." "Exactly, money isnt everything!" "..." You probably noticed the underlying jealousy and envy beneath their sour tones. Its just human nature, this so-called hatred for the rich is mostly just jealousy and envy. When Lu Xiaobu heard this, he immediately turned around and chuckled at those guys who criticize what they cant have. Then he seriously said, "99% of the things in this world can be solved with money." Lu Xiaobu curved his lips: "And the only thing that cant be solved is not having enough money!" "Pfft!" Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Instantly, countless envious and jealous hearts were fiercely stabbed. Lu Xiaobu, youre so mean! They forgot that Lu Xiaobu is a master of toxic chicken soup! But they didnt want to admit defeat either, so they continued to mutter, "Can money buy happiness?!" "Good question." Lu Xiaobu nodded seriously: "Of course, money cant buy happiness." Then, he shifted the topic and raised his eyebrow: "But, as long as you have money, others will find ways to make you happy." "Pfft!" Half the crowd clutched their chests. Damn it! Thats damn harsh! "Rich people are heartless!" someone shouted again: "Sociologists have found that ugly and poor men are no more reliable than rich, handsome men," Lu Xiaobu spread his hands and continued. "Pfft!" Another stab! The crowd turned green. Lu Xiaobu, are you going to stop being mean? Who are you calling ugly and poor! Everyone at the scene felt their hearts couldnt take it anymore. "Okay, enough joking, one last thing Ill say to you, I know you resent the wealthy, which is normal, everyone feels a bit like that, but dont let it blind you into thinking that all rich people are arrogant and heartless. Actually, youll gradually realize that many wealthy people are very knowledgeable, have rich experiences, take things seriously, are generous, rational, and easier to get along with than poor people." Lu Xiaobu spoke very seriously. Listening to Lu Xiaobus last sentence, everyone relaxed a bit. They knew in their hearts that what Lu Xiaobu said was true, they just didnt want to admit it. After all, reality has already been harsh to them, finding some psychological comfort is the only thing they can do. This in psychology is called cognitive bias. People subconsciously choose the ideas that make them feel more comfortable between harsh reality and idealistic thoughts! Never mind, lets not get too scholarly, simply put, its tough and its not easy! Not only do they not break others down, but they also dont want to break themselves down! And while everyone was pondering this. "Just like me, see, handsome, wealthy, and kind, rare in this world." Lu Xiaobu shamelessly boasted. "Pfft!" Everyone laughed. Here we thought Lu Xiaobu was teaching a lesson, turns out he was just praising himself! Have you no shame?! But after this episode, the irritation and jealousy in everyones heart had subsided a lot, and their gazes had also softened. Although Lu Xiaobu is shamelessly boastful, hes really easy to get along with, without any airs. While they were still chatting, Zhou Kun also brought Lu Xiaobu in front of their stores prized possession. Zhou Kun, listening to Lu Xiaobu joking with these people, also mused in his heart. Sure enough, just as Young Master Bu himself said, hes really easy to get along with and makes people feel comfortable! "Young Master Bu, this is the one, all top-level specs, three hundred and twenty thousand, if you use it yourself, youll definitely enjoy it." Zhou Kun introduced: "Shall I show you the specs?" "No need, this one is fine, get me thirty units!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. Chapter 515 - 513: Those Seven Words [Fifth Update, Bonus for 50,000 Star Reward] Chapter 515: Chapter 513: Those Seven Words [Fifth Update, Bonus for 50,000 Star Reward]"Get me thirty of them." Lu Xiaobus request startled Zhou Kun on the spot. One for three hundred and twenty thousand, thirty would be nine million six hundred thousand, almost ten million! Spending ten million to buy computers?! And those fragile hearts nearby, just soothed by Lu Xiaobu, were instantly bruised all over again. Young Master Bu, you really werent lying! When youve got money, you can indeed do whatever you want! The computers that we only dare look at and not even touch, you ask for thirty in one go! To us, they are luxuries; to you, theyre wholesale goods! "Young Master Bu, what do you need so many for?!" Zhou Kun asked in perplexity. "Its nearly time for the competition, for use on-site!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders: "Plus, each of my men should have one too, right?" "This..." Zhou Kun was somewhat speechless, using computers worth three hundred and twenty thousand each for a competition, truly extravagant! Arent the competitions all about making do as long as they work! The people at the scene twitched at the corners of their mouths. Cant afford to provoke, cant afford to provoke. "Alright then." Zhou Kun could only agree: "But Young Master Bu, we cant get that many on short notice, we might have to wait." "No worries, not in a hurry." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "Just get it ready, when the time comes, deliver them directly to the venue, OK." Another wasteful splurge of just under ten million, feeling elated. The opportunities to spend wasteful amounts are growing more and more, without being wasteful, simply cant hold up! "Alright, you guys take your time, Im off." Lu Xiaobu said, waving to the audience. "Young Master, your hair has gotten a bit long, should I call the stylist to give you a haircut?" Liang Lan said as she walked out with Lu Xiaobu. "Okay, the same pretentious one as last time?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. "Uh... yes." Liang Lan said helplessly. "Damn it, he has the nerve to come back, whats the difference between a ten thousand haircut and one for twenty bucks at a street stall?!" Lu Xiaobu was fuming thinking about that hairstylist. "Shall we find a new one then?" Liang Lan pondered and said. "Too lazy to change, just tell him, if this time its no different, I might as well get a street stall barber to cut it, see where he puts his face!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes as he spoke. Their conversation clearly reached the ears of the people around. A couple, deep in thought about whether to switch to a newly released CPU worth eight thousand, heard this and silently put down the CPU, squatting to the side to draw circles. The two of them struggled over an eight thousand CPU. But there, on Lu Xiaobus head, that hairstyle that really made no difference from the twenty-buck ones on the street, cost ten thousand. Their hearts, oh so cold! ... After leaving the computer exhibition, getting a haircut, and cursing out the stylist, Lu Xiaobu said: "Lets go, check out our pro players; Ive got everything set up this side, if they lose, it will be just as embarrassing." "Yes, Young Master, shall I let them know?" Liang Lan asked. "No need, just quietly pop over for a look, so they dont slack off and put on airs!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. Why do emperors like to make incognito visits?! Because of this annoying habit. Once they hear someones coming, they prep all sorts, even clean the toilets goddamn twenty-seven times, terrified of any issues. "Okay, Young Master, Ill arrange it." Liang Lan nodded. There was silence all the way. Since each professional team has its own club, they werent together. The first club. "Young Master Lu!?" A man who was frowning and smoking at the entrance, who looked like a coach, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Lu Xiaobu. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Shh! Im just here to take a look, keep it down!" Lu Xiaobu signaled for silence with his gesture. "Okay." The coach hurriedly approached, "Young Master Lu, why didnt you let us know you were coming?" Perhaps in other circles, Lu Xiaobus reputation was not good, even terrible, but in the eSports circle alone, he absolutely has an excellent reputation. After all, Lu Xiaobu was the man who personally carved a path for them out of the Dark Age of eSports! "Didnt I say it? Just having a look, dont fuss." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "Hows the teams condition!?" "Not very good, everyone is a bit anxious." The coach sighed, "Theres too much pressure this time, its everyones first time on such a big stage, they are afraid of embarrassing you." As he spoke, he opened the clubs door, "Young Master Lu, please!" "Okay!" Lu Xiaobu nodded and stepped in. But! He had only taken one step when he could no longer move, standing at the entrance as if he was a statue. Liang Lan and the others were puzzled but looked up and also stopped in their tracks, their emotions visible churning in their eyes! Do you know what they saw? A banner. Not any contention in a narrow path, not any eternal strive to be first. But! "Champions Dedicated to Lu Xiaobu" A huge banner hanging in the middle of the hall, with these seven big characters written squarely on it, ensuring everyone could see it. Looking at these seven characters, a surge of emotion was boiling within Lu Xiaobus heart. Its a strange emotion, indescribable whether its touched, gratified, or excited. Anyway, his blood was heated by this emotion, burning hot! "Did you hang this up?" Lu Xiaobu asked softly. You should know he was visiting incognito; there was no need for a pose. "This was hung up by everyone." The coach scratched his head, a grown man suddenly feeling a bit shy, "Everyone said, every time they see this sentence, its as if they have inexhaustible power! The hardship and tiredness of training seem a lot less tiresome and less hard!" Their training wasnt for money, wasnt for honor! It was for this man who led them out of the Dark Age, they must return it with a championship! And these seven words were their spiritual pillar of fighting day and night for the past year! Why, when there were online condemnations against Young Master Lu before, did not a single person from the eSports circle stand out?! Because they disdain it, they scorn verbal disputes, they want to use concrete actions, solid trophies to tell those who didnt believe in Young Master Lu! In the eSports circle, this man is the heaven! "Take me to have a look." Lu Xiaobu reached out and patted the coachs shoulder. Although Lu Xiaobu was a generation younger than the coach. Logically, this patronizing gesture from a junior to a senior could be very irritating and uncomfortable. But at this moment, it was indescribably harmonious. And the coachs face was full of excitement. This pat was recognition for them, their hardships were not in vain! Worth it!!! Lu Xiaobu walked into the training room. The scene before his eyes made the emotional surges in his heart boil and roll non-stop! Chapter 516 - 514: Mental Pillar [First Update] Chapter 516: Chapter 514: Mental Pillar [First Update]Lu Xiaobu and his coach walked in together, but nobody in the entire training room noticed them. They were each busy with their own tasks. In the bottom left corner, five people were playing a practice match, and it looked like they were playing against another clubs team. Behind them stood three people, continuously noting something down. Just like laboratory experiment notes, they recorded not only their own mistakes but also tried to analyze the opponents condition through the practice match. There were three people in the middle. These three people were each practicing their own fundamental skills. For example, last-hitting minions, without buying any gear, just last-hitting! Next, map running; under various trigger speeds, figuring out the time needed to run through the map. This was to accurately grasp the movement on the map and calculate the time they needed for support. Then, damage calculation, which everyone probably knows about, such as whether the enemy can kill me instantaneously, whether I can kill them instantaneously, and whether I need to activate Shield, etc., etc., no need to elaborate. Also, cooldown calculation, figuring out the enemys skill cooldown times. When they have Flash, when they have Teleport, whether this is a good time to engage or to split push. Moreover, hero synergy, the coordination between various heroes skills, and how to maximize damage and control timing, etc. For example, as an instance, the coordination between Malphite and Orianna, how long before Oriannas ultimate can maximize the control time. Finally, tactical training, but this is considered the core secret of every club! After finishing talking about the basic training in the middle, only the right side is left. The right side is also where Lu Xiaobu feels the most heartache. These people arent training but are slumped over the desks sleeping. The desks are covered in coffee. One could tell at a glance that they must have collapsed from exhaustion. But even in their sleep, their eyebrows were furrowed, and their fingers twitched unconsciously; they were probably training even in their dreams. Many people probably always thought professional players did nothing but play games, but now that you see this scene, do you understand what a professional player is. No profession is easy! Why do so many people who enter society often miss their school days?! Not because school was easy or simple, but because school was more relaxed and simpler than their current lives! "Big..." The coach stepped forward, wanting to announce that Lu Xiaobu had arrived. "Shh!" Lu Xiaobu gestured with his hand to interrupt the coach, and then pointed outside. The coach was taken aback, nodded, and followed him out. "Let them train properly. I am waiting for the moment you bring the trophy before me!" Lu Xiaobu looked at the coach earnestly as he spoke. "Yes!" The coach instantly stood up straight! At this moment, in the training room, a player on the right rubbed his eyes and got up, took a sip of the coffee beside him, and casually glanced outside of the training room. Then. "Pfft!" Damn, he sprayed the coffee right back into the cup. "Is that Young Master Bu?!" He looked at Lu Xiaobus retreating figure, incredulous. Afraid that he was mistaken, he shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked once again with determination. "It really is Young Master Bu!!" He sprang up and shouted loudly. This shout startled all the players. "What?! Young Master Bu?!" "Young Master Bu is here?!" Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Youre not dreaming, are you kid!" "Crap, you scared me so much I missed the last-hit on Ferrari!" "..." "Its true! Look!" The guy pointed to the departing figure of Lu Xiaobu and said, "Isnt that Young Master Bu?! It definitely is!" "It is!" The other people also took notice then. They stopped their training matches and practice sessions, putting down their keyboards and mice to peer out of the door. "Really, its really Young Master Bu!" "Oh my God! Young Master Bu came to see us!" "Im so excited!" "Hahaha, awesome!" "..." Lu Xiaobu, who was walking out, turned his head to look at those young faces filled with excitement and longing. He extended his thumb, raised it high, and then walked out the door! "Boom!" This simple gesture set off a tidal wave of emotion in the hearts of all the professional players in the club! Young Master Bu gave them a thumbs up! Young Master Bu was supporting them! Excitement! Thrill! Ecstasy! A multitude of emotions flooded their hearts. Suddenly, someone murmured: "The championship for Lu Xiaobu!" The voice was not loud, but it reached everyones ears. Because it was not spreading through the air, but through their hearts, their blood! "The championship for Lu Xiaobu!" "The championship for Lu Xiaobu!" "The championship for Lu Xiaobu!" "..." The successive shouts rose in the training room, getting louder and more in unison! Deafening! Lu Xiaobu, walking out the door, clearly heard their chanting. He couldnt help but show a slight smile. This feeling of being adored and being seen as a pillar of support was pretty great! Of course, aside from the good feelings, his heart also took on a heavy sense of responsibility! If they were determined, he could not lose! "Lets go! To the next club, lets check them all out!" Lu Xiaobu swung his large hand, giving the order. "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lans heart was also very excited. This heartfelt shouting always stirred up emotions. It was a sincere respect for Young Master Bu, without a shred of falsehood! Such was the charm of Young Master Bu! Inside the club. "Alright, alright, back to training." The coach calmed himself down first, then said to the players: "Although we say the championship is for Young Master Bu, it matters who presents it. You wouldnt want other teams to offer it to Young Master Bu, right?" "Of course not! Back to training, training!" The crowd immediately shouted and plunged back into training. However, their lips were still curled up with smiles that never faded! Even those who were playing training matches stole moments to message people from the opposing club. "Hehehe, Young Master Bu just came to see us!" "What, really?! Youre not kidding us, are you?" "Whos kidding you, lying is for dogs!" "Dont believe it? When has Young Master Bu ever come to the club?!" "Believe it or not! Know why he didnt go to your club?! Thats because Young Master Bu thinks the championship is ours!" "Bullshit! The championship is definitely ours, and its definitely our team who will present it to Young Master Bu!" "Its us!" "Nonsense, its us!" "Come on, quit the talk and lets see the truth in action!" "..." Chapter 517 - 515: Battle of Ten Thousand People [Second Update] Chapter 517: Chapter 515: Battle of Ten Thousand People [Second Update]Lu Xiaobu had toured clubs all over the country during the following time. Of course, not every club was as hardworking as the first one he visited. After all, each club has their own training methods and schedules. However, one thing was the same, their excitement was absolutely wild when they saw Lu Xiaobu! That day, every club echoed the same sentence: "The championship goes to Lu Xiaobu!" ... After touring the clubs, Lu Xiaobu returned home, reading books and watching videos! Yes, he had originally planned to be lazy after finding a replacement speaker, but after visiting the clubs, he suddenly felt it was better to learn more. Even though he had a replacement speaker, the more he knew, the more advantageous it would be for the commentary! After all, just reading from the script, even if it was charming, wouldnt feel so perfect! He couldnt let down everyones trust in him! "If the country treats me as a national scholar, I will repay it in the same way!" sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Sister Lan, notify Sun Wanqi, tell her, its time to get the thing she promised done, let her endorse the national competition!" Lu Xiaobu was frowning and reading a book while giving orders. "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan nodded. With Queen Suns participation, this opening ceremony would definitely be explosive! "What about the arrangements for the opening match?" Liang Lan asked. The opening match required careful planning; it needed to be exciting without forcing teams to reveal all their strategies too soon! She had studied the events in other countries. Their opening matches were generally spearheaded by champion teams from minor or local competitions to boost the audiences excitement. However, this approach didnt work so well domestically. You probably still remember what the previous events were like! "Opening match?" Lu Xiaobu turned a page and thought for a bit: "Just make it a fun match! Forget about an official opening match!" "Young Master is wise!" Lu Xiaobus words immediately woke Liang Lan from her dreams, and she became excited. Right, why bother following other countries! Heavenly Dynasty holds the true essence! If anything, it should be others who take references from them! "Also, work on the entry ceremony." Lu Xiaobu put down a book and started watching a video. Active learning is the most effective way of studying. "Are we going to do something like the university league again, with those three thousand soldiers and three thousand palace maids?" Liang Lan inquired. This was her current idea; after all, those three thousand soldiers had indeed stunned the world in the university league! Using it again might seem a bit repetitive, but it should still be effective. "No, Im tired of playing the Emperor, and its not quite fitting anymore." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, remembering last time when he played the Emperor and how boring it was: "Keep the main theme of cosplay, but change the style." "Change to what?!" Liang Lan was puzzled. She thought the previous plan by the Young Master was already the pinnacle, and if it changed, she didnt know if it could achieve that effect! "Change it to a war between Demacia and Noxus!" Excitement suddenly flared in Lu Xiaobus eyes: "Besides cosplaying the champions from both factions, prepare five thousand soldiers for me, with different armor and weapons! Who cares about cosplay, this time, Ill give them a real war!" Honestly, just thinking about it excited him! Where else could you see a war with ten thousand people except on TV? And even on TV, its mostly done with special effects. But today, he was making it real! "Um... Young Master, please go ahead." Liang Lan slapped her forehead; the Young Master was on a spending spree! "These ten thousand people, gather them from movie parks nationwide, all extras, prioritizing those with experience in portraying ancient war soldiers! Also, call Chen Feiyang here for me, have him direct the scenes, it has to be grand! As grand as possible!" Lu Xiaobu made the arrangements. "Alright, Young Master, what about the financial aspect?" Liang Lan was taking notes in her notebook and asked, "Twenty billion!" Lu Xiaobu briefly calculated, "Budget ten million for each performer, and throw the remaining ten billion entirely into production!" "Sss!" Even Liang Lan was shocked this time. Young Master is really going big this time! One hundred thousand per person, just for this one play, this one opening ceremony! Absolutely the greatest expenditure unprecedented! "Go handle it," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand. "Wait, Young Master, what about the host?" Liang Lan thought for a moment and said. "The host?! Ill do it myself!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, "Lets be diligent for once!" "Okay, Young Master!" Liang Lan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation in her heart. Young Master being diligent! Its not just in words, but actually being diligent, have you guys ever seen this?! At least she really hasnt in her memory! This is indeed the first time ever, how could she not be excited?! Of course, besides anticipation, there was also a bit of worry, afraid that the Young Master may mess things up! When Young Master starts messing things up, he doesnt care whether its his own event or not! Forget it, lets not think too much, Young Master has already set the general direction, now it was her time to execute it specifically. Not only must it be executed perfectly, but it also needs to achieve 105%! ... Days passed by, and the level of attention towards the Heavenly Dynastys national competition was increasing by the day! Everyone was both excited and scared! Finally, the opening ceremony was about to begin! By the way, its worth mentioning that since the competition system here is different from Earth in various aspects, its designed based on the current circumstances, so there was no need for coded seating! "Its finally happening!" "What do you guys think Lu Xiaobu will turn it into?!" "Im really looking forward to it!" "Yes, Lu Xiaobus ability to handle huge events is unmatched!" "But Im still worried about the commentary aspect!" "Me too! But, lets just wait and see!" "Did you guys get the tickets?!" "No!" "Then you better hurry up!" "Are there still tickets?!" "No more!" "Damn it!" "..." Meanwhile, Korea was also highly focused on it. After all, the national competition in Heavenly Dynasty could largely determine the level of the global competition. The standard of the national competition can be reflected as early as in the first event! So, whether Heavenly Dynasty embarrasses themselves, or they do, depended on this moment! "Tsk tsk, waiting for Heavenly Dynasty to embarrass themselves!" "Lu Xiaobu, an individual thinking he can challenge our great Korea?!" "Theres a phrase in Heavenly Dynasty, called getting slapped in the face, right?! Waiting to see Lu Xiaobu getting slapped!" "This moment has finally arrived, Ive already bought popcorn!" "..." Chapter 519 - 517: I Will Lead the Charge [4th Update, 50,000 Satellite Bonus] Chapter 519: Chapter 517: I Will Lead the Charge [4th Update, 50,000 Satellite Bonus]The audience didnt know what Lu Xiaobu was up to, but they all knew that he would definitely not let these complacent Koreans have it easy. Why, you ask?! Because he is Lu Xiaobu! The name alone says it all! So, they all watched with glee and excitement as they crowded the performance corridor to the point where water couldnt trickle through! Sitting in the corridor, those Koreans, seeing the mass of onlookers, grew even more pleased with themselves! "Hahaha, people from the Heavenly Dynasty have come to see the show!" "Lu Xiaobu is definitely going to apologize this time!" "He must apologize, if he doesnt, we wont leave!" "Thats right, thats right!" "These people from the Heavenly Dynasty are really stupid! Something like this would never happen in our great Korea!" "Exactly, this is the gap between us!" "..." Hearing these remarks from the Koreans, the audience members who understood Korean translated for the others. Instantly. "Heh heh!" "Hmph!" "Fine, lets wait and see!" "..." Finally! "Dong!" With the sound of a huge bell echoing from the loudspeakers around the square, the League of Heroes National Championship of Heavenly Dynasty officially kicked off! And those Koreans became even more smug! Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Lu Xiaobu is still stubbornly holding on! I want to see how long he can last!" "Thats right, thats right!" "As long as were here, Lu Xiaobus opening ceremony wont be able to start!" "..." Just then! The loudspeaker on the right side of the square sounded! "For Demacia, long live!" A deafening roar spread across the entire square! At the sound of this, the sweat hairs of the entire audience stood on end! Their bodies trembled as if struck by electricity! They knew this line all too well! It was Gai Luns catchphrase! And it was undoubtedly the original voice -- shouted out by Gai Luns voice actor himself! How many times had they charged into Summoners Rift with this battle cry! And how many people had dreamed of being that towering man, leading soldiers into the charge! They realized, this was a gift from Lu Xiaobu! Only Lu Xiaobu, as the CEO of League of Heroes, could make this scene come to life in real life! Every single person was inexplicably excited! Their blood was boiling in their hearts! And before they could even let their emotions burst forth! The loudspeaker on the left side of the square sounded as well! "Noxus shall rise!" A deep, blood-tinged voice spread across the square! Just hearing this voice made one shiver unconsciously! But at the same time, a different kind of bloodlust also boiled! The blood of Demacia and Noxus, inherently different in nature but equally scorching, fused in their hearts into an even more seething fervor! League of Heroes!!! "For Demacia, long live!" "Noxus will inevitably rise!" Two different cries rang out continuously in the square, this time not from the loudspeakers! But from the players themselves screaming! Not as loud, not as uniform, but all the more blood-pumping! Lu Xiaobu, listening to these shouts, felt his own emotions rolling tumultuously! This wasnt simply noise, but a soul that belonged to gamers! This soul wasnt distinguished by the game! It was a profound thing, not something superficial! Wasnt the old rallying cry "For the Horde" or "For the Alliance" the same kind of soul?! ... The audiences emotions were boiling over, and this was just the beginning! "Fight for those who cannot!" The lines from Gai Lun continued! Almost simultaneously. "They will regret opposing me!" The lines from Darius also emerged. And with the lines! Another sound appeared. "Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!" Footsteps! No, not just sounds, to be precise, not just sounds! Because! The ground was trembling! This is, the sound of real footsteps! From both sides! And this kind of footsteps, definitely cant be made by just dozens or hundreds of people! For a moment, the audience didnt know where to look! "What is this?!" "Footsteps?!" "So many footsteps!?" "Whats happening?!" "..." The footsteps grew louder and closer, the sound becoming more and more rapid! "Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump!" At that moment! "Look!" "Hiss! What is that?!" "My God!" "There are on the left and on the right too!" "Is this war?!" "..." No wonder the audience was exclaiming, because along with the increasing sound of footsteps, there was also a growing urgency! Slowly, two armies came into their view! Yes, armies! But not the armies from the real world, but the armies from the League of Heroes! On the right, leading the group was a man with a large sword on his back, clad in heavy armor! That towering figure, that resolute face, every player there was familiar with it! The Power of DemaciaGai Lun! And theres more on the left! Leading them was a man in dark-themed armor, with spikes that would make one wonder if the enemy would be pierced before even touching him! Especially that huge axe in his hand, evoking the feeling of blood and gore! But thats not even what shocked people the most! After all, they have seen plenty of cosplays, and although this ones fidelity was high, it wasnt that shocking! What really shocked them was what was behind them! They were followed not just by heroes from their respective factions! They each had a battle formation as well! The people on the right were wearing blue armor, and the people on the left were in purple armor! Just like the blue side and purple side in Summoners Rift! "Gulp!" The audience swallowed hard! "Wow, what a magnificent gesture!" "Absolutely magnificent!" "So shocking!" "How many people are there?!" "All together must be ten thousand people, right?!" "It feels about right!" "Lu Xiaobu is awesome, only he could create a scene like this!" "Im convinced! Truly convinced!" "..." The Koreans were full of fear in their eyes! "My God! How much must this have cost?!" "Too terrifying!" "I remember Lu Xiaobu only had a few thousand people last time! This time he went straight to ten thousand?!" "Lu Xiaobu must be burning money!" "..." The more aggressive Koreans tried to keep their composure! "Pfft! Its just a large-scale cosplay!" "Thats right, just more people, whats so great about that?!" "Who are you trying to scare?!" "This is nothing special!" "..." However! Just at that moment! On the right! Gai Luns large sword was suddenly drawn! At the same time, the speakers blared again: "I will lead the charge!" On the left! Dariuss huge axe was also raised. From the speakers: "Cut a bloody path!" With the lines of the two characters falling! The armies from both sides suddenly picked up their pace! From walking, they moved to running! No, it turned into a charge!! Everyone began to panic! Are they really going to fight?! Are they actually going to fight?! There are still people in the middle!!! Chapter 520 - 518 Collision [5th update for adding for one life, one world, a couple] Chapter 520: Chapter 518 Collision [5th update for adding for one life, one world, a couple]"Thud, thud, thud, thud!" The footsteps grew faster and louder, signifying the increasing charge speed of both sides! Every person was holding their weapon high, their faces fierce with murderous intent! Even the music changed; it became rapid and filled with killing intent! Everyone knows that oftentimes, as soon as the BGM starts, the emotional atmosphere naturally elevates! Its the same right now! As this fierce, murderous music played, along with these visuals, the entire venue was instantly shrouded in a murderous aura! Even many spectators couldnt help but cover their eyes, yet they couldnt resist sneaking peeks through their fingers! Of course, even more people were excited, their blood boiling with fervor! This wasnt just some imagery behind a screen on TV; this was real, tangible even, as if they could reach out and touch these warriors! "Wow, this is so real!" "Are they really going to fight?!" "A battle between Demacia and Noxus!" "Charge!" "For Demacia!" "Noxus!" "As long as the tower stands!" "..." Roars echoed continuously around the square! This was their excitement, their thrill, their ecstatic outburst! However, as excited as they were, those from Korea who had been sitting in the performance corridor earlier couldnt get excited at all! Their eyes were filled with sheer terror! "People of the Heavenly Dynasty, have you gone mad?!" Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "There are people here!" "Stop! Stop!" "..." They watched those unbelievably fast-moving footsteps, their hearts full of fear! With such speed, and coming from both sides, they would surely be trampled into pulp in an instant! This was nothing short of murder! Initially, they managed to shout out a few words, but as the speed of both sides increased and they drew closer, their shouts became screams! "Save me!" "Let me out!" "Let me out!" "I was wrong, so wrong!" "..." The Koreans began to crawl out, crying and screaming! Thats right, crawling, for they could not even stand up at this point! But could they even crawl out?! When they were previously told to leave, they had defiantly occupied the performance corridor, refusing to move, and now they wanted to leave?! Too late! The already congested performance corridor was now even more packed with spectators due to the fascinating performance. Had it not been for the police forming a human wall as the last line of defense, theres a chance that the crowd might have rushed onto the performance corridor! And now those inside from Korea still thought they could get out?! They could keep dreaming! "Let me out, let me out!" A Korean was lying on the ground, clutching at the leg of a police officer, pleading. His eyes were filled with terror, and tears nearly falling. But no matter how much he pleaded, it was useless! Now, the police couldnt possibly clear the way; should they open up here, people from outside might rush in, and the consequences would be unpredictable! This scene played out for each and every person who had previously occupied the performance corridor. There were even two who were so terrified that they actually crawled right under the legs of bystanders! And this sight was clearly captured by the reporters standing nearby. Instantly, those reporters showed mocking smiles on their faces! Those who relied on the protection of the rules and seemed so arrogant under their cover, when they faced a situation, especially when they believed that those rules could no longer protect them, were so cowardly! Dont worry, this scene of yours will be seen by the whole world! The show continued, with people from both sides rapidly approaching one another! It was a powder keg about to explode! What does a powder keg about to explode mean?! Everyone present clearly, directly, and stunningly experienced the meaning of this phrase! As the two sides drew nearer. The heartbeats of those watching also beat faster and faster! "Are they really going to start fighting?!" "No way! If they really start fighting and someone gets really angry, what are we going to do if something happens?!" "Dont worry, trust in Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu will definitely handle it well!" "Exactly, who do you think Lu Xiaobu is!" "..." Since everyones attention was focused on whether or not they would fight, many people subconsciously ignored the gradually slowing speed of both sides. "Kill!" With the most frenzied voiceover from the speakers, both sides finally collided! Everyones hearts skipped a beat! Theyre really going to fight! "Bang!" The huge axe held aloft by Darius and the great sword raised high by Gai Lun violently crashed into each other! The heroes behind them also struck poses as if they were unleashing their skills! Some raised their magic staves, in a state of casting spells. Some pulled their bows to the full, ready to shoot arrows. Some raised their weapons and charged into the crowd. ... And those minions, they all made way for these heroes, fighting amongst themselves! Some were stabbed in the chest with a spear. Some were chopped in the head with a knife. Some had their weapons clashing against each other. Others rolled on the ground to dodge attacks. Each persons state was different, but every face was filled with boiling killing intent! At this moment, they are soldiers! This scene made all the viewers blood boil with killing fervor! "Kill!" "For Demacia, long live!" "I will lead the charge!" "Noxus, unstoppable!" "Carve out a bloody path!" "..." Those from Korea were scared witless, trembling in fear! "Theyre really fighting now!" "Help me!" "How come those weapons look so real!" "Let me out, let me out!" "..." But isnt that just like the real thing! You all shouldnt forget, Lu Xiaobus simulated weapons are as numerous as you want! Except for not having real lethality, everything else is nearly identical to the real thing! And just then! "Swoosh!" The previously boiling music suddenly disappeared! The abrupt drop from scalding heat to freezing point, that sudden halt, made everyone stunned, their brains struggling to keep up! "Why did it stop all of a sudden?!" "Yeah, this feeling is so uncomfortable, like being half through... and then a pop-up for payment appears!" "Whats going on?!" "Whats happening?!" "No, you guys watch the show!" "Holy cow! I get it now! Awesome!" "Im impressed! Truly impressed!" "Lu Xiaobu is really a god!" "..." They were all shocked! Because, the instant the music stopped, the more than ten thousand people on the field, as if time-stop magic had been cast upon them, everyone stopped moving! Gai Lun and Darius were still colliding! The heroes were still preparing to attack! The soldiers kept rolling, killing, colliding, dodging C their bodies remained motionless. Even their facial expressions were frozen! Still with that look of intense killing intent! This kind of cooperation, this performance technique, this planning! Everyone was stunned!!! Chapter 521 - 519: Strong Start but Weak Finish? [First Update] Chapter 521: Chapter 519: Strong Start but Weak Finish? [First Update]The intense shock from the extreme motion to the extreme stillness made everyones heart skip a beat! What is this extreme change like? Its like bungee jumping, when you leap from above, your speed getting faster and faster. And when is the feeling of impact the strongest?! Its the moment when the bungee cord is pulled taut, when your body stops instantly, as if your heart is about to jump out of your throat, thats when the impact is strongest! And now, this performance has given them that exact feeling! This intense impact made the image before their eyes crash into their brains in an instant, imprinting itself there! "Awesome! I cant think of any other word but this to describe it!" "Convinced! Truly convinced!!" "This move from the pinnacle of activity to the pinnacle of stillness is really awesome!" "No, the most difficult part isnt this method of performance, but the feeling of holding it. Its not about the physical pause, but that pause in expression, as if time itself has really stopped!" "Yeah, look at their expressions, I feel like I can still see the seething and boiling murderous intent, the archers look like they might shoot at any second! And those holding knives to others necks, its like the blood might gush out the next second!" "So awesome! Remember the last college league? That was shocking enough, but this is even more astounding!" "I really want to touch these people, but at the same time, Im a little scared!" "..." It wasnt just buzzing with discussions, but the sound of taking photos was incessant! Countless media people were excitedly documenting it all! Lu Xiaobu is indeed still Lu Xiaobu, with his unpredictably imaginative and exhilarating approach! Countless foreigners were also in awe! "Oh my god! This is really amazing! This is not just simple cosplay, its an art form!" "Thats right, its an art, a form of performance art, its just fantastic!" "People of the Heavenly Dynasty are so strong, they managed to rehearse this!" "Yes, wearing such heavy armor in this hot weather, yet able to maintain it for such a long time is not easy!" "Thats right, thats right, the performance artists weve seen before are usually alone and choose positions that make themselves more comfortable. But now! This is a reenactment of the battlefield, each movement is for fighting, killing the enemy, or dodging, and these movements are not comfortable!" "The Heavenly Dynasty is indeed a magical country, is this also the power of Qi?!" "..." While they were discussing, those troublemakers from Korea were also let in by the police comrades. The performance was over, so the impact was not as intense, it was acceptable to let them in! However, the faces of these Koreans were looking very ugly, turning shades of blue and green! There was shame, disgrace, embarrassment, and even more so, anger! They did not expect their perfect plan to be thwarted this way, they didnt get the apology they wanted, but instead were scared out of their wits by the people of the Heavenly Dynasty! Every Korean at the scene was roaring in their hearts! Damn, damn, damn! Such an embarrassment! Humiliated in front of the whole world!!! Lu Xiaobu, you bastard! Were irreconcilable! This is the weakness of human nature, remember the term mentioned in the previous Chaptersconfirmation bias?! This is also a kind of confirmation bias! They actively, subconsciously chose to shift the blame to someone else because they didnt want to admit that they were at fault, that it was their mistake! And at this moment! "Whoosh!" Suddenly, a sound transmitted from their faces. The sound of wheels! This stupefied everyone! Wheels?! What do we need wheels for at this time?! But soon, they understood! Because two barriers were pulled out from both sides at the same time. Just like those curtain-like barriers, you guys should know what Im talking about! Theres one on each side, using them both front and back! Very quickly, the over ten thousand people in the performance aisle were covered up tightly! No one could see what was happening inside. "Whats going on here?!" "Yeah, why are they blocking it off?!" "I havent taken any photos yet!" "I did take a couple; Ill send them to you!" "Maybe the actors are tired. After all, maintaining those poses really is exhausting!" "Yeah, everyone should be more understanding!" "..." Most people were still expressing understanding. However, those pissed off Koreans didnt care one bit! "Pfft! All bark and no bite!" "So embarrassing! Is this the performance you prepared, with not even a follow-up!?" "Is this some sort of sad exit?!" "..." Their voices werent loud, and they quickly fell silent! Because many friends had come to their side. "Lets go, shall we chat?! I love you Koreans the most!" These brash Koreans were warmly escorted away by two or three muscular men to another place! I guess it was probably to have a chat, but maybe to also discuss lifes aspirations! The barrier probably covered everything up for about twenty minutes. Inside, there were occasional faint noises, and it was unclear what was going on. "Swoosh!" Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The barrier was opened. But people suddenly found that the ten thousand people inside were still those same ten thousand people. There were no changes in their expressions or poses. "Eh? Whats going on here?! Werent they supposed to exit?!" "Yeah, were the barriers pulled up just for a rest?! Thats not okay! This is just a Band-Aid solution, useless!" "Young Master Bu, weve had our fun. Lets give everyone a break!" "Yeah, dont overdo it!" "Hey, buddy, tired, huh? Want some water?! Ill get you a bottle!" "..." However, no matter what they said, the people in the middle remained motionless. Finally, someone realized it! "Thats not right!" A middle-aged man exclaimed, his pupils dilating as he pointed to the center of the area, "Those arent the same people as before! To be precise, whats in front of us now arent humans at all!" Upon hearing this, the people nearby rolled their eyes: "Hehehe, what are you talking about! Such a grown man, cant you speak properly!" "Sorry, sorry, I didnt express myself clearly, I meant to say that these arent the same actors as before, what were seeing now are all wax figures! Hundred percent lifelike wax figures!" The middle-aged man quickly corrected himself! "What!? Wax figures!?" This made everyone else pause in surprise! "Did they switch to wax figures?! But I still feel like they are real people!" "No, look closely, they really dont seem like real people! Theyre not breathing!" "Oh my gosh! Its true!" "I didnt even realize it just now and stupidly ran to bring them water!" "Damn! 66666! Young Master Bu, youve played the world once again!" "..." Chapter 522 - 520 Ready to Start [2nd Update] Chapter 522: Chapter 520 Ready to Start [2nd Update]Just when everyone couldnt believe their eyes, Lu Xiaobu picked up the microphone, and his voice traveled through the speakers into everyones ears at the plaza. "Are you satisfied with the performances we presented to you today?!" "Satisfied!" The roaring voices of the players were incessant, their calls shaking the heavens! How could they not be satisfied?! They were more than satisfied! "As long as youre satisfied, that means our efforts werent in vain." Lu Xiaobus lips curved into a slight smile: "I guess everyone has figured it out by now, the figures displayed in the plaza are indeed wax figures, so everyone feel free to take photos." Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, everyone immediately cheered. "Young Master Bu is awesome!" "Thank you so much, Young Master Bu!" "Ha ha ha ha, I want to take a photo with Gai Lun!" "Darius is my favorite champion!" "..." But some people also expressed their doubts. "Young Master Bu, maybe we shouldnt! It would be bad if they got damaged!" "Yeah, there are too many people. With this many people, any minor accident could be troublesome!" "Everyone should just take photos from a distance, leave something for others who didnt see them!" "Well said! Agreed!" "..." Hearing these remarks, the players who were originally eager to rush forward also stopped in their tracks. Although they felt it a pity, they knew the others were right! There were too many people; any small accident could be disastrous! "Its okay!" At this point, Lu Xiaobu spoke again: "These wax figures wont last long in this weather anyhow." "So everyone just go ahead and take photos to your hearts content! Let them fulfill their final value!" "Of course, we still ask that you try your best to preserve their original state to prolong their survival time a bit!" Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, everyone once again got excited! "Yay!" "Long live Young Master Bu!" "6666! Amazing!" "Such a grand gesture, who else could pull this off besides Young Master Bu?!" "Yeah, a single wax figure must cost a pretty penny, let alone over ten thousand of them!" "No kidding! If you look at these wax figures, although there are slight differences from the movements of the actors, the overall consistency is maintained! The amount of financial resources, materials, and time needed to match the wax figures to the actors actions is unimaginable!" "The more you talk, the less I dare to take photos, Id feel like a criminal if I accidentally damaged such beautiful things!" "Yeah! Lets all be as careful as we can!" "..." How satisfying to hear such words, right?! So, why the hell do you keep focusing on news about low quality, poor behavior and ignore the good stuff?! "An hours time for everyone, and then the opening battle will officially begin!" Lu Xiaobu said gratified. With Lu Xiaobus command, the plaza began to get busy. Not only were the audience members excited and bustling, but the cosplay participants also came out one after another to take photos with everyone. ... An hour passed by quickly! "Hi everyone." A very familiar voice suddenly resonated! With the voices emergence, Sun Wanqis exquisite face appeared on all the big screens! This caused the audience, whose excitement had just slightly subsided, to boil over once again! "Damn, am I hearing things? Isnt that the voice of Sun Wanqi, Queen Sun?" "Youre not mistaken, I heard it too!" "Queen Sun! Its actually Queen Sun, oh my gosh! Lu Xiaobu actually brought Queen Sun back again! And to a competition, no less!" "My bros the real deal! Thats so awesome!" "..." Following the successful event, Sun Wanqis popularity also soared, and more people got to know her! Before, during the event, everyone was already surprised that Lu Xiaobu could invite Sun Wanqi! After all, for Queen of Heaven to appear on such an obscure show was like a wild fantasy! However, following the success of the event, everyone realized that Sun Wanqi joining the event was a smart move! Well, the singing competition was one thing since it was all about music! But this time! For a LOL competition, Lu Xiaobu actually invited Queen Sun again, that really demonstrated the extent of Lu Xiaobus influence! And then some people started whispering. "Does Lu Xiaobu actually have something going on with Queen Sun?!" "Right?! Hes pretty badass!" "6666!" "But the two of them do seem well-matched!" "..." Sun Wanqi continued speaking softly: "This competition..." Its not necessary to go into her exact words. Sun Wanqis script was professionally crafted, quite standard and unremarkable. But even so, just the name Sun Wanqi, that alone was enough to stir up the audiences emotions to the extreme! "Oh my god! Queen Sun is actually the spokesperson for this competition, doesnt that mean we might actually get to see Queen Sun in person at the venue?!" "Eh, eh, why was I so lazy and didnt buy a ticket!" "Yeah, had I known Queen Sun was also going to be here, I would have fought tooth and nail for a ticket!" "Massive loss!" "Hehe, I had the foresight; I knew the preparations by Lu Xiaobu wouldnt be modest!" "So, did you get a ticket?! Ill pay double the price, would you sell it to me?!" "Hehe, I only said I had foresight, I didnt say I got a ticket! If I had a ticket, would I still be here?!" Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I! I ought to smack you!" "..." Regardless of the uproar outside. Inside the venue, the event had officially begun. The audience was murmuring quietly. "Its finally starting, I feel like my heart is about to jump out!" "Yeah! Its starting, its starting!" "Hey, who do you think the host is?" "Whoever it is doesnt matter, right? Who watches the host at such a competition?" "Thats true, but its not just us here, there are a bunch of others waiting to see us fail! Plus, Young Master Bu is known for his grand gestures, I think the host wont disappoint." "That makes sense!" "..." As these people were discussing, Those who had somehow managed to get tickets were scoffing. But their faces didnt look so good at the moment; some were dirty, some were sporting dark circles under their eyes, and some had a bruised nose and swollen face! These were the repercussions of their earlier life and aspiration chats. But the more this was the case, the stronger their resentment toward Lu Xiaobu became! "The higher the flight, the worse the fall!" "All flash, no substance C they wont make it big!" "Thats right, just wait and watch their failure!" "The commentary and direction are key. Without those, everything else is nonsense!" "..." Chapter 524 - 522: Overbearing Commentary [4th Update for 1st Life, 1st World, A Couple Extra] Chapter 524: Chapter 522: Overbearing Commentary [4th Update for 1st Life, 1st World, A Couple Extra]"Like to watch, dont watch then scram!" Lu Xiaobus simple and crude words were directly thrown at that Koreans face: "What the hell! As if Young Master here invited you to watch!" Hearing this, although it wasnt particularly domineering, it was definitely overbearing! "Right! Young Master Bu said it right! Like to watch, dont watch then scram!" "Give up your tickets, weve got plenty of people in the Heavenly Dynasty who want to watch!" "What the hell! Strutting around on our turf!" "Just scram already!" "..." Heavenly Dynastys audience was very excited, only when they were around Lu Xiaobu could they be so unrestrained. After all, the so-called experts and big shots, they only freaking blabber about unity, manners every single day! Bullshit! Others are already bullying to the top of our heads, manners my ass! No need to say more, just do it! The Koreans, hearing this continuous scram, were so angry their noses were crooked! He really wanted to just leave! But he didnt want to go! After all, they were waiting to laugh at Lu Xiaobus commentary mistakes; if they left now, they wouldnt be able to mock him in real-time! So, in the end, they could only clench their teeth, muttering just you wait then sat down again. "Despicable bones." Lu Xiaobu sneered. It was as if he slapped those Koreans in the face again. But this time, the Koreans did not retort. They were waiting for Lu Xiaobu to slip up in his commentary before they retorted! "Alright, enough talk, lets get the opening match started now." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand grandly, drawing the attention back to him. At this point, the two teams for the opening match had entered. Lu Xiaobu also took his seat at the commentary booth: "Hello everyone, its still me, just now I was the host, and now Im the commentator!" Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, the audience suddenly started frowning. "Just Young Master Bu alone?!" "Thats not right, wasnt it supposed to be three people?!" "Did you forget? Both people from Dahong Pavilion are in the hospital!" "Of course I didnt forget, what Im saying is that even if two are hospitalized, Young Master Bu should at least call in two more! On one hand, its tiring for one person to do the commentary on their own, and on the second hand, Young Master Bus commentary ability..." "Shush, dont talk nonsense, remember, even if theres a mistake in the commentary, you have to say its good, we cant lose face in front of the Koreans, got it?!" "Of course I know!" "..." Meanwhile, the Koreans were getting excited. "Finally its here! Lu Xiaobu, dont be arrogant! This is the real moment that decides life or death!" "Who laughs last, laughs best!" "You were so arrogant just now, just wait for our ridicule!" "Its really seeking your own death, to do the commentary alone, who do you think you are?!" "..." These Koreans eyes were filled with endless desires for revenge, and the thrill of venting! They had been waiting for this moment for a long time! This is the deciding point! Lu Xiaobu looked at the audience with various expressions below, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. "Purchase a hundred Charm Points, valid for one day." Fifteen million gone! In a flash! With the enhancement of his Charm Attribute, Lu Xiaobu was like wearing a halo, involuntarily attracting everyones attention! Especially since there was nothing else diverting the audiences attention. The temporarily maxed-out Charm Attribute of Lu Xiaobu, he was the brightest star in the night sky, dazzling to behold! "Hiss, suddenly noticing Young Master Bu is looking a lot more handsome today!" "Yeah! Even as a man, I feel like telling Young Master Bu that hes handsome!" "And, isnt his voice just so charming?!" "I just realized it, even though I had a bit of a feeling earlier, it wasnt very clear!" "So cool!" "Young Master Bu, I love you!" "..." Not to mention them, even some of the audience from Korea were attracted by Lu Xiaobu. "Is Lu Xiaobu that handsome?!" "How come I didnt feel it earlier?!" "Its such a strange feeling, damn it, I cant even start cussing anymore!" "..." A full Charm Attribute is indeed terrifying! "Let me introduce, this opening game is for entertainment purposes, where entertainment is first, and the competition is second." Xiaobu began his commentary and introduction: "Do you all know who the two teams are?!" Some audience members nodded, some shook their heads. "You dont know? Well, then forget it, just watch the big screen, Im too lazy to introduce them." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said: "Originally, if you guys knew, I wouldnt have needed to play the introduction video!" "Pfft!" The audience burst into laughter. What?! If we knew, you wouldnt even bother to play the video?! As expected of Young Master Bu, who is deep in his laziness! sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. While the video was playing, Lu Xiaobu chatted with everyone. "Who do you all support?! Come on, take up the voting devices beside you and cast a vote for me!" Lu Xiaobu spoke to the audience with a very relaxed posture. This was a suggestion made by Long Zimo. Normally, commentators would be nervous the first time they step on stage, and of course, it is not only commentators who would be nervous, any profession that gets watched by a large audience for the first time would feel the anxiety. But not Lu Xiaobu. He not only doesnt get nervous, hes even a bit arrogant. When trying to do the commentary, Long Zimo discovered more than once that Lu Xiaobu, as he got increasingly involved, would start looking arrogant, and his tone would become dominant. Filled with a commanding tone. Actually, this is quite common; everyone gets this kind of angry emotion while watching a game. But what comes out as anger from ordinary people becomes a command when it comes from Young Master Bu! "Are you stupid?! That Dalong!" "Are you sick?! How could you give up such an opportunity?!" "Do you not realize you could have won in one move just now?!" "..." That naturally overflowing dominance has not just once, but many times, scared Long Zimo out of his wits! Finally, after many experiments, Long Zimo came up with a plan. That is to do commentary in a chat-like style, trying to keep Lu Xiaobus emotions in a relaxed state. Lu Xiaobu also approved of this suggestion. Hearing what Lu Xiaobu said, everyone obediently began to vote. Soon, the voting results were out, and it was almost a fifty-fifty split. This was also expected, after all, since its the opening game, its impossible to have two teams with a big gap between them to compete, otherwise, it wouldnt be a competition, itd be a cakewalk! "Fifty-fifty! Boring, vote invalidated!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and deleted the voting results. "Pfft!" The audience felt like theyd been stabbed in the heart! If its useless, why did you ask us to vote?! Too much! "Alright, alright, the ban-pick phase has started! Lets turn our attention back to the game!" Lu Xiaobu directed everyones gaze back to the game. As the game started, those familiar with Lu Xiaobu couldnt help but break into a cold sweat. Long Zimo was among them; although he gave the advice and Young Master Bu accepted it, would Young Master Bu really manage to keep a relaxed state?! Chapter 525 - 523: Understanding Men and Rising [First Update] Chapter 525: Chapter 523: Understanding Men and Rising [First Update]"Come on, lets see what heroes both sides have banned." Finally, Lu Xiaobu starts his commentary work: "Well, the purple side has banned Demacia, Demacias cousin, and the Prince. Hey, the grass bush trio is wiped out! Does the blue side have some psychological shadow from being controlled?! Have they been dominated before?!" Upon hearing Lu Xiaobus words, everyone was initially stunned. Dominated?! Then, they burst into laughter. "6666, dominated indeed!" "Thats a rough play!" "Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu is really naughty!" "Three big men!" "Isnt that men over men?!" "Im dying of laughter!" "Hey, dont think the purple sides bans were fierce, the blue side is not falling behind! They instantly banned three healers, whats that about?! This clearly states their attitude, men should be on top of men!" Lu Xiaobu is all slick talk, left and right! The audience is holding their stomachs, laughing loudly! "OMG! Look at how well the blue side is cooperating!" "Banned the healer?! Men should be on top of men!?" "Going head-to-head!" "Hahaha! Interesting!" "Lu Xiaobus commentary is freaking interesting!" "Alright, enough messing around, lets talk about the significance of both sides bans!" Lu Xiaobu gets back on track: "As everyone knows, the opening match were having now is a fun game, not an official match, so everyones bans are quite casual." "Why is that? Its because they are both in their first fight, not too familiar with their opponents, so if they ban opponents or their own heroes, it might reveal something, which would be disadvantageous for their subsequent matches!" "So, instead of that, why not just ban at random!" "Of course, dont think that because of their casual banning, they wont play seriously, thats impossible! This is an opening match, and the first game, they will definitely play an incredibly brilliant match." "You ask why?! Thats because Im here! If they dont play well, Ill get angry, go up there and give them a thrashing, do you think they can handle that!?" Lu Xiaobu keeps chattering, using humorous and engaging language to explain the true intentions behind both sides bans. Listening to Lu Xiaobus commentary, the audience all nod their heads in agreement. "Exactly, thats the case, although the opening match is a very special one especially in our national competition, where they need to play beautifully without revealing their tactics and strongest heroes, its very challenging." "I was a bit puzzled just now, but now I got it! Both sides are doing great!" "The best should be Lu Xiaobu, dont you think?! His commentary is so engaging that it pulls you right in!" "Yeah, I bet those famous international commentators cant do it like him!" "Have you noticed, in the past, even if the commentator was good, they were just a supporting role, our focus would still be on the game itself! But today, with Lu Xiaobu, when he speaks, our attention involuntarily stays on him, listening closely to him! Thats terrifying!" "Thats right, thats right, as soon as Lu Xiaobu speaks, my ears perk up naturally, listening closely to his commentary, his voice is really appealing!" "Yes, indeed, full of charm!" "..." Not just them, even many foreigners, although they are not proficient in Chinese, still find themselves involuntarily listening to and pondering over Lu Xiaobus words. "This commentator is not bad!" "Yeah, even I, a foreigner, understood!" "This is what real commentary is!" "Exactly, exactly, good commentary should be like this!" "..." Thats the terrifying thing about having full charm attribute. As the brightest star in the night sky, every move Lu Xiaobu makes attracts everyones attention. Everyone should know, when listening to someone talk, the concept of whats heard varies greatly between paying attention and not paying attention. For example, a very funny joke, if said by someone who doesnt make people listen attentively, turns into a cold joke! Because no one would appreciate or even seek to find the humor in it! And commentators, serving as a support to the game, are usually not the type that people listen to attentively, so normally they dont stand out much! But Lu Xiaobu, with his charm attribute, makes people listen attentively, seriously appreciating the meaning and humor in his words! This makes Lu Xiaobu, perhaps not the best commentator, shine brilliantly! As the audience chatters, the game officially begins. Both sides control their heroes and come to the river in the middle lane, starting to dance. "Look at that, did you see?! Dancing! Do you know when animals dance?! Thats mating time! Basically, theyre saying come on me! Cough cough cough!" Lu Xiaobu mischievously comments, "Actually, not just animals, we humans often do the same thing!" "Like those girls prancing around in bars, and those guys posing and acting cool, what are they doing there?! Are they there to drink?! No, theyre performing a mating dance!" The audience really is amused while listening. "Lu Xiaobu, youre too much, but I love it! Hahaha!" "People bow to show respect, and you straight up call it a mating dance!" "Looks like Young Master Bu cant let go of the dominated theme, huh!" "Hahaha, the dirtiest commentary ever!" "66666!" "Never mind the game, this commentary alone is absolutely 666!" "Who said Young Master Bu cant commentate properly?!" "Yeah, and those Koreans, why arent they talking now?!" "Slapping your faces!" Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "..." The Koreans are indeed not looking too great. They really didnt expect Lu Xiaobus opening ability to be so good, his personal charm so high, that just by speaking, he attracted everyones attention! Compared to him, none of their Korean commentators could achieve this. But, they came with a nitpicking mindset, how could they admit defeat so easily! "The game is about to start, then its the time to truly test the commentators skills!" "Yeah, this flashy stuff isnt that useful!" "A commentator really needs solid skills!" "Exactly! Exactly!" "Cant wait for Lu Xiaobu to embarrass himself!" "..." Chapter 526 - 524 Overbearing Glance [2nd Release] Chapter 526: Chapter 524 Overbearing Glance [2nd Release]Just like those Koreans said. The real test is yet to come. Because during the match, especially when team battles erupt, its often the details that reveal the truth. A seemingly trivial detail could determine the outcome of a team battle, or even the direction of the entire match! And its the commentators job to spot these details and convey them to the audience through words, making it clear and understandable for everyone to see and understand the match! In the match, because its an exhibition, team battles happen very early. After all, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. This mistake, its not about being wrong, but about exposing your own weaknesses. So, lets do this! "Team battle erupting, both sides are hunting for the perfect time to engage, a good position and a perfect moment to strike is like the weapon in a soldiers hand, you cant kill an enemy without sharpening your weapon first!" "The moment we spoke, the blue sides Golem used his ultimate, boom, a relentless and unstoppable charge, instead of targeting the more populated left flank, easier to hit, he chose the isolated jungler. Is this to knock one out first before proceeding?! Or is this their preparation for taking the Dragon next?!" "And Purple side didnt react in time, their jungler got hit! Hes sent flying!" "Look quick, the Blue side clearly discussed this, the moment the Golem charged, his teammates skills followed immediately! One second, was there even one second!? Purple sides jungler got instantly eliminated! Their damage was certainly calculated, just perfect!" "Purple side reacted finally and started to counter-attack, just now Blue sides skills poured onto Purple sides jungler, now Blue sides skills are on cooldown, they are at a disadvantage in this team fight! Its still unknown who will lose or win!" "..." Lu Xiaobu rapidly expressed the situation on the field to the audience like a machine gun! Due to his powerful Charm Attribute, each of his words clearly reached every audience members ears. S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The audience watched the team battle on the big screen with excitement, their ears seriously listening to Lu Xiaobus analysis and commentary. Their blood was boiling! A team battle wouldnt last half an hour, so it quickly ended. Lu Xiaobu began to analyze the strategic meaning of the battle and the mistakes made by both sides, then through the director broadcasted the replay, giving everyone a detailed analysis again. But by now, the audience wasnt focused on the match anymore. They were completely absorbed in Lu Xiaobus commentary. "Young Master Bus commentary is freaking awesome!" "Yeah, when I watched previous matches, the commentators would occasionally catch my ear because my focus was on the game. But today is different, Im attentively following both the match and the commentary!" "Yeah! Im sweating from excitement! It feels awesome!" "This is what real commentary is like!" "Exactly! Young Master Bus commentary is like what? Its like subtitles in a movie, appearing in real-time at the bottom of the big screen, not a second too fast, not a second too slow, helping people to understand the plot faster!" "Wow, how could such commentating be anything but amazing?!" "I admit, I wasnt optimistic about Young Master Bus commentary before, but from today onwards, its different!" "Absolutely, Young Master Bu is world-class, no doubt about it!" "Young Master Bu is setting a global benchmark!" "..." Heavenly Dynastys audience were all extremely excited, but the faces of the Koreans were a colorful mix, quite a sight. Some were angry because they couldnt find flaws in Lu Xiaobus handle. Some were thrilled because of Lu Xiaobus exciting commentary. And some were embarrassed because they believed their countrys best commentators couldnt match Lu Xiaobus level. "This! Lu Xiaobu really knows how to commentate!" "Maybe his words arent perfect, but his unique charm compensates a lot!" "Lu Xiaobu is too strong!" "No one in our country can do what he does, right?" "This is so embarrassing!" "Yeah, originally we came here to laugh at him, but damn, the jokes on us now!" "..." Every Koreans face looked like Lu Xiaobu had slapped them dozens of times! They used to arrogantly say Lu Xiaobu chased them away just to borrow their stage. Next second, Lu Xiaobu smashed all their stuff! Later, they said after leaving their stage, he wouldnt do well. Yet Lu Xiaobu turned around and made a stage worth billions! Then, they sat in protest at the opening ceremony. As a result, Lu Xiaobu scared them into scrambling, even crawling into someone elses pants, embarrassingly known to the whole world! Lastly, they hoped to save face through directors and commentators. But then, a god-like director lashed them to death! Lu Xiaobu, the flamboyant young master, delivered a brilliantly unparalleled commentary session! Lu Xiaobu was truly giving them a face-slapping, full spectrum, no angle spared! Their faces were swollen! Was the previous scene of Lu Xiaobu single-handedly beating their whole country about to happen again?! Their hearts were filled with humiliation, anger, but also powerlessness! And at that moment. "To destroy you, what does it have to do with you?" Lu Xiaobu, sitting at the commentary desk, suddenly said this. At that moment, his eyes, disdainfully glanced at the Koreans, then turned his head back. Such people did not deserve his full attention! Yet that look, made all Heavenly Dynastys audience explode! After all, Lu Xiaobus Charm Attribute was at max now! "Damn! Allow me to swear, that look was freaking cool!" "Yes, containing disdain mixed with dominance, and within the dominance there was contempt, like a superior Emperor looking down at a bunch of ants, where even stepping on you feels like a waste of effort!" "Especially paired with that statement of To destroy you, what does it have to do with you?, it was explosively cool!" "So cool!" "To destroy you, what does it have to do with you?!" "Young Master Bu, imposing and majestic!" "6666! One man crushes a whole country! Apart from Young Master Bu, who else can do this!?" "The coolest look in history! The most dominant look!" "..." These were all seen live, and everyone was staggeringly shocked. And as for the most cunning director in historyCai Long, how could he not let more people see that look? So! Lu Xiaobus close-up look exploded over the plaza! Chapter 527 - 525: Qin Shi Huang Swallows Ranges of Mountains and Rivers with His Qi [Third Update] Chapter 527: Chapter 525: Qin Shi Huang Swallows Ranges of Mountains and Rivers with His Qi [Third Update]The spectators outside were also discussing. "This group battle looks just like an exhibition match! They are really keeping their cards close to their chest!" "Why bother about that much, as long as its exciting, thats good enough!" "Exactly, exactly!" "It really is exciting, especially with Young Master Bus commentary, its truly thrilling!" "Young Master Bus commentary is really awesome!" "Theres no denying it, the best commentary in history!" "..." And just then. The screen suddenly cut! Xiaobus close-up appeared on the screen. Simultaneously! "To destroy you, what does it have to do with you!" This sentence reached everyones ears, instantly drawing all eyes to the screen. They were familiar with this sentence! This was what Young Master Bu said to the opponents before the match! What does repeating this sentence now mean!? However! When they looked at the screen! That disdainful and commanding gaze instantly conquered everyone! Its known that the big screen on the square is hung very high to ensure that everyone can see! So, in that moment! Xiaobus gaze looked as if it was overlooking everyone! "Thump!" Everyones heart missed a beat! "Puff puff puff!" Many people started breathing heavily uncontrollably! Although this gaze was only for a moment, it truly felt like a huge mountain pressing on everyones chest! "Such a terrifying gaze!" "Yes! That superiority, that disdain, really made my heart leap!" "The instant I saw that, I felt like I was an ant about to be crushed!" "So the always approachable Young Master Bu has this side too!" "Too awesome!" "Truly domineering!" "..." The Heavenly Dynasty audience were so scared, not to mention those opponents! They even couldnt help trembling in fear! After all, that sentence was originally directed at them! Now, repeating it under these circumstances, coupled with that gaze, they really felt they were about to be crushed! However, after fear came embarrassment and blushing! So damn embarrassing! Xiaobu is truly slapping their faces continuously! Not only physically but even a mere glance from him scared them into this state. They truly felt the disgrace reached their grandmothers house. Many opponents started to discreetly pack up their belongings, they wanted to leave quickly, for staying any longer, who knew in what other ways they might embarrass themselves! This time, their attempt to nitpick at Xiaobu utterly failed! Disgraceful! Truly disgraceful! Some Heavenly Dynasty spectators noticed the opponents actions. Instantly, they switched to full mock mode! Curse them if you must, such people shouldnt be coddled! "Tsk tsk tsk, whats going on here!? Leaving already!" "No, dont go! Didnt you come to find faults! We were still waiting for your guidance!" "Exactly, you were so arrogant before! We even bought popcorn! You havent even finished your popcorn, yet you want to leave?" "Some shame to those sticks now!" "See that? Thats our Young Master Bu, smacking you down each time he shows up, last time he smacked down your whole country alone, and this time its the same!" "Asking you all, can you handle it?!" "Remember to bring your popcorn, so you can share the shame with your family when you go home!" "Hahaha, awesome! Young Master Bu is so badass!" "Try to jump around now sticks! A slap will kill you!" "..." Listening to the mockery from the Heavenly Dynasty audience, the sticks were too angry to speak, each of them looking like a drowned rat, quickly tucking their tails and running away! So embarrassing! Mortifyingly embarrassing! Shame spread across the world! ... The sticks were completely face-slapped, and the Heavenly Dynasty audience was thrilled, making the competition even more exciting under this excitement! Soon, the days competition ended! Everyone in the audience was discussing todays game! "Amazing!" "Yes! Not only was the game well played, but Young Master Bus commentary was spectacular!" "Absolutely, absolutely! Young Master Bus commentary was mind-blowingly awesome!" "..." While the exterior audience was discussing, backstage everyone was excited too! "Young Master Bu, you were fantastic! Truly like the Emperor Qin Shi Huang who unified everything!" Long Zimo was at it again with his references! "How so?!" Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Xiaobu asked with interest. Chatting with Long Zimo always made him happy. "To raise troops and horses, to swallow the world with Qi!" Long Zimo firmly spoke eight words, then continued: "Your normal commentary is like Emperor Qin in battle, steady and fierce, but when you relax, that domineering aura is clear, scaring those sticks to pee their pants!" "Oh? From Cao Cao to Emperor Qin, not bad at all." Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily, feeling quite happy about it. Long Zimo is actually a pretty authoritative figure in the commentary world now, being likened to Emperor Qin, that holds some substantial value. Meanwhile, a familiar voice came over: "Hahaha, Xiaobu, your commentary was superb!" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow and quickly turned around: "Dad, Big Bro, Second Bro? When did you guys get here?!" "Weve been here for a while, just sitting in the audience area," Lu Hongbin said adoringly: "Our Xiaobus first proactive performance, how could we not pay attention?" No matter how great or good Lu Xiaobus achievements were. In his eyes, he was always that troublemaker child. The elder brother is like a father! So, Lu Xiaobus commentary this time, he was like those parents who watch their children perform on stage, both nervous and excited! "Cmon, making me sound like I used to be lazy!" Lu Xiaobu retorted, muttering. "Hey, you say that without even blushing?!" Lu Wenhao immediately laughed: "sounding like I used to be lazy!? Remove the like! You arent just lazy; you have laziness ingrained in your bones!" "Go away!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "I just dont like talking to you, you really have low EQ! Look at big bro..." Then. Lu Hongbin: "This time, I agree with Wenhao, you definitely have laziness ingrained in your bones!" Father Lu just smiled quietly, watching his three sons bicker and tease each other, happily laughing. "Boring!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes again. But inside, he was extremely happy. Isnt everyone a kid at heart? The arrival of Father Lu, Lu Hongbin, and Lu Wenhao really gave him a lot of surprises! Making him genuinely happy! This kind of happiness, better than anything else! He felt that his commentary on stage this time, he nailed it! How to handle this happiness!? Lets just blow some money! Chapter 529 - 527: Mutual Shooting [5th Update for Sitting by the Window to Watch the Typhoon] Chapter 529: Chapter 527: Mutual Shooting [5th Update for Sitting by the Window to Watch the Typhoon]Are you looking forward to it? Sorry to break it to you, but nothing happened. The four girls were just joking around. After all, they were bold in speech, but when it really came to doing it, they would be too shy in front of other girls. Maybe, when alone, they would... cough cough! ... The next day, Lu Xiaobu opened his eyes, feeling exhausted, and stretched lazily: "Damn, its finally the finals, Im not going to commentate ever again, its bloody tiring!" After dressing, washing up, having breakfast, and a whole bunch of routines, Lu Xiaobu yawned and headed out the door. Yeah, Ill catch a nap in the car. Arrived at the venue. It was already packed with people. Lu Xiaobu got out of the car yawning, stretched, and rubbed the corners of his eyes. And then! "Boom!" Suddenly, a wave of voices shocked him! "Young Master Bu, through the ages, unite the Jianghu!" Damn, do you know how many people are here? At least a couple hundred thousand! The huge square was packed shoulder to shoulder, just think about it. Now, shouting out this sentence in unison, how could it not startle an unprepared Lu Xiaobu! "Whoa, what are you guys doing?! Let me tell you, there are too many people here, I cant possibly give out rewards!" Lu Xiaobu said to the crowd. "Pfft! Hahaha!" The crowd immediately burst into laughter. "Young Master Bu also gets startled sometimes!" "6666! The one who had the idea is 666!" "Hahaha, that feels good!" "Dont worry, Young Master Bu, were not asking for rewards, we know that so many people can cause chaos!" "Were just here to thank you!" "Thats right! This is a belated thank you!" A girl stepped forward from the crowd, holding a microphone, and bowed as she spoke! "Thank you, Young Master Bu, for pioneering the era of esports!" A club coach came out from the left, bowed, and said! "Thank you for the fabulous matches youve created for us!" A representative of the audience came out from the right, bowed, and said! "And thank you for the exciting commentary youve brought us!" This sentence was spoken by all the people. A uniform sea of bows! "Thank you! Really, thank you!" The audience isnt stupid; they understand that Lu Xiaobu has been commentating with such high intensity, without a break for more than a month! Not to mention Lu Xiaobu, who often slacks off and dislikes moving, even a normal person, no, even a professional commentator, who can do this?! Commentating not only consumes physical strength and strains the vocal cords, but it also exhausts the mind! Havent you seen commentators work in teams, and even have to switch commentators for different matches?! Its all for the sake of resting! And what about Young Master Bu? Alone, without a partner, without rest, without changing the roster! Like a soldier, he has been on from the opening match all the way to todays final! Doesnt such a person deserve a thank you from them?! "You guys, this..." Lu Xiaobu smacked his lips, not knowing why, but feeling a tightness in his heart that was somehow also warmly comforting! For a moment, he actually didnt know what to say! "Did you guys arrange this?" Lu Xiaobu took a deep breath and asked Liang Lan. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "No." Liang Lan shook her head: "It was spontaneously organized by the players, coaches, and the audience. I simply granted them the use of the equipment." The Young Master has worked so hard for so long; he deserves some thanks. So, when these people came up with the idea, she agreed without any hesitation. And she even took the initiative to keep it a secret. The fact that these people did this shows that the Young Masters efforts were not in vain! "Yeah, Im really happy." Lu Xiaobus smile beamed with joy, as the exhaustion on his body vanished in an instant: "Lets go! Get ready to welcome our national champions!" The ancients always said, having one true friend in life is enough! And if you can do something that hundreds of thousands of people appreciate, that sense of recognition is unimaginably delightful! Perhaps this is what they mean by, "Everyone must die, but let the loyal heart shine through history!" ... The audience members at the front saw Lu Xiaobu walking forward and quickly retreated to both sides, clearing a three to four meters wide path! With each step Lu Xiaobu took forward, the audience in front of him would move aside, giving way to him! Gratitude and appreciation shone in everyones eyes. It was this not particularly tall man who ushered in the era of esports, allowing them to enjoy the fun of gaming peacefully. Instead of gaming always being demonized, always being the wrong thing! It was also this man who, although with some cruel and cold means, introduced anti-addiction measures into games, forcing them to not be overly immersed in gaming. They might have resented him before, but they are no longer who they were. Thanks to Lu Xiaobus extremely humane anti-addiction measures, they gradually understood that life isnt just about games! And its because of this man that he turned around the laughingstock status of Heavenly Dynasty esports, reaching a point where they can laugh at others! "Laughter" might be a nasty word, but is it still bad when others have laughed at you before?! One step, two steps, three. Lu Xiaobu walked step by step toward the venue! ... Entering the commentary box. After the players entered and checked all the equipment, a series of procedures were completed. Lu Xiaobu activated his charm to full Attribute! "Welcome everyone to our finals, today is the ultimate PK! On one side is our Demon King Team, on the other side is our Nine Heavens Team, this is definitely a divine battle against demons!" "Who will be the champion, and who will be the runner-up?! Will the gods take down the demons, or will the demons overpower the gods?! Do you know? Because I sure dont!" Lu Xiaobu started off the match with a light-hearted tone. The audience shared a knowing smile. "Great, the ban-pick phase has begun, and its clear that both sides know each other well! Nine Heavens Team immediately banned the main heroes of the Demon King Teams mid-laner, and they swiftly banned three of them! This is an obvious targeting strategy!" "In contrast, the ban-pick of the Nine Heavens Team was much steadier, not targeting a specific player but targeting evenly across the board!" "It seems theres still a gap between gods and demons! Actually, this is normal, from the previous matches, everyone probably noticed that the Demon King Team lives up to its name, their style is very aggressive, and they usually turn defense into offense!" "Meanwhile, the Nine Heavens Team prefers a solid and steady play, focusing on defense to counter-attack!" "This means that todays battle will inevitably be one of the spear and shield!" Lu Xiaobu said this and suddenly paused: "Eh?! Seems I said something wrong, bow and spear? Shooting at each other?! *Cough cough cough*, no, I meant spear and shield!" The live audience burst into laughter! "Hahaha, bow and spear? Shooting at each other?! Young Master Bu, you kill me?!" "Indeed, you just cant get away from your tendency to rise above the ordinary!!" "The veteran is driving the car, woo woo woo!" "Hahaha, 66666!" "..." Chapter 530 - 528: The Game Ends Chapter 530: Chapter 528: The Game EndsI wont go into details about the commentary process, because it seems like you guys arent into it. So! "The Demon King Team won the team battle, will they choose to push high ground directly or risk a final push?!" "They chose to push, but is there enough time? The Sky Team only has eight seconds of resurrection time left!" "Seven seconds, six seconds, five seconds!" "..." The entire audience started counting down involuntarily. Their palms sweating, eyes glued to the big screen displaying the Demon King Teams tower destruction progress! "Theyve reached the Gate Tower!" "The first Gate Tower is down!" "The second one is left with only a third of its health!" "And at this very moment, the first resurrected opponent charged out, trying to stop their tower destruction singlehandedly!" "Is it useful? The opponents simply ignored him and continued demolishing the tower!" "All Gate Towers are down! But now more opponents have resurrected! What to do?! Continue demolishing or pause for a moment?! If theres a mistake, they might be turned over!" "Oh my! Keep demolishing the towers! True to the Demon King style! All of them are daredevils!" "Seventy percent, fifty percent, thirty percent!" "Everyone on the other team has resurrected!" "Troubles brewing!" "Only two people left in the Demon King Team, and the crystal is only left with twenty percent health, who will win?!" "Oh my god! Annihilation! The Demon King Team got wiped out! The defense and counterattack of the Sky Team is no joke!" "Chance! This is a chance for the Sky Team, can they make a final push?!" "They started attacking!" Lu Xiaobus passionate commentary has the whole venue boiling! Everyones palms are sweaty, anticipating the outcome, yet somewhat afraid to watch! Both teams have their supporters, and someones bound to be unhappy with the loss! "The Sky Team is forcefully demolishing all the way! At incredible speed!" "But someone from the Demon King Team has resurrected, are they going to replay the earlier scenario? But its not the same! The Demon King Team was weakened before, but now the Sky Team is almost at full strength!" "How can one person from the Demon King Team stop five opponents?!" "Holy shit! Look, someone from the Demon King Team teleported!" "A counter-strategy? Incredible as always from the Demon King! Will the Sky Team choose to recall?!" "No! They didnt recall, continued demolishing the tower!" "Are they trying to exchange towers?!" "This is truly a do-or-die situation!" "Who can demolish faster, one person or five?!" At this point, Lu Xiaobu stopped the commentary, thats enough! "Bam bam bam bam!" Everyone seemed to hear the sound of towers being demolished! The health of the crystals on both sides was rapidly decreasing! "Bam!" The Sky Teams crystal exploded! And at that moment, the Demon King Teams crystal was also left with just a sliver of health, any hero could have just hit it once, and the crystal would have exploded! But there was no way around it, a win is a win, a loss is a loss! "Congratulations, our champions have been determined, that is, the Demon King Team!" Lu Xiaobu slammed the table and roared! Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Roar!" The entire venue roared, boiling over! "Well done!" "Awesome! Congratulations Demon King Team!" "An incredibly amazing match! So awesome!" "Sky Team, dont be disheartened, you were also terrific!" "Yeah, just a tiny bit off! Just a little bit!" "Fantastic match, fantastic commentary!" "..." The big screen showed the faces of the five members of the Demon King Team. Their faces were filled with disbelief. Cant believe it, even they couldnt believe they won the championship! Then, it was pure ecstasy! "Ah!" "Roar!" "Eh!" "Yay!" "Hahaha!" No need for extra words, just screams and roars! Because their feelings at that moment couldnt be described with words, only such roars could express how they felt. While the opposing Jiutian Team looked utterly dejected. Just missed it by that much, just a tiny bit! To lose by a hair is to be wrong by a thousand miles, they just missed the championship! However, they were generally calm and composed, so they quickly suppressed their emotions, stood up, and applauded, "Congratulations, it was a fantastic match!" "Thank you!" The Demon King Team members stepped forward and hugged each Jiutian team member one by one! "You played well, we were just lucky!" "Dont say that, a win is a win, theres no luck involved." "Alright, lets not be pretentious. Drinks tonight?" "That sounds great! You cant not treat us after winning the championship!" "No problem, we can have another match after drinking, just for fun." "Great idea! Lets release some stress by thrashing some noobs!" "..." At the venue. Watching the excited crowd, Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said to Liang Lan, "Sister Lan, you handle the rest. Im taking off." These people, so fickle. Before they were thanking me, now that the champion is decided, Im forgotten. But saying is saying, making noise is making noise, he knew that he couldnt be the main character now, this moment of victory belonged to the champions! "Alright, Young Master." Liang Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, the Young Master felt wronged! Lu Xiaobu left the venue and stretched lazily. Finally, its over, damn it, Im exhausted! Now just waiting for the global competition. But during the global competition, he wont need to commentate, the people from Dahong Pavilion will handle it. He would just sit in the VIP seats and watch the game! "Young Master, need a ride?" Zhang Meng stopped the car and asked. "No need, Ill just walk around. Ive been cooped up in this dump for a month and feel stifled!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said. "Alright, Young Master. Li Jin will follow the Young Master, Ill go park the car and come back right away." Zhang Meng called out his arrangements. "Dont worry." Li Jin patted his chest and assured. Lu Xiaobu, hands in pockets, strolled forward leisurely. Honestly, with his current demeanor, he really looked like a little rogue, especially with his reckless gaze, totally the part! Walking on the streets, really like he could confront anything that blocks his way! Of course, having Li Jin and others following him also played a part. But, thats not important. Really not important, why dont you believe it! Seriously! Casually strolling, Lu Xiaobu arrived near a primary school. There was nothing much in the primary school, Lu Xiaobu didnt care to pay attention, but a street stall next to the primary school caught his eye. Because Lu Xiaobu saw something he hadnt seen for a long time. This world actually has this?! Great! Time to feast! Chapter 531 - 529: Long-Awaited Spicy Strips【1st Update】 Chapter 531: Chapter 529: Long-Awaited Spicy Strips1st UpdateGuess what Lu Xiaobu saw? It was spicy strips! Lu Xiaobu hadnt seen them in a while, and he thought they didnt exist in this world! Turns out, they do! It seems that no matter whether on Earth or here, the power of snack lovers is irresistible! Cant take it anymore! He was fine not seeing them, but now that he has, Lu Xiaobu can hardly hold back his drool! His salivary glands are crazily secreting saliva! So, Lu Xiaobu lifted his leg and walked towards the little store. "Wait a moment." Lu Xiaobu suddenly stopped, looked down at his suit and leather shoes, then glanced at the few people behind him, his eyes flickering: "Lets go change into casual clothes first!" He couldnt appear here in this attire. Otherwise, the moment he buys spicy strips, it would certainly cause a mess around, which would feel quite awkward. He quickly changed into a pair of big shorts and a T-shirt, and then messed up his ten-thousand-dollar hairstyle. "Okay, you guys wait for me from a distance." After Lu Xiaobu took a look in the mirror, feeling the difference, he told Su Luoxue and Zhang Meng. Liang Lan was still busy preparing for the competition. "Yes, Young Master." Zhang Meng nodded. "Then, Xiaobu, well go have some fun." Little Pepper couldnt sit still. Seeing Lu Xiaobu about to hoard snacks by himself, she dragged Wu Qianmin and Su Luoxue to go shopping. "Go ahead." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "Li Jin, follow them." "Yes, Young Master!" Li Jin nodded and followed the three women. Only then did Lu Xiaobu stretch languidly, excitedly walking towards the stall. "What would you like to buy?" The stall ownerLu Ronghua, sitting in his chair didnt get up, casually asked. "How much are the spicy strips?" Lu Xiaobu pointed at the colorful spicy strips and asked. "One yuan per pack." "Alright, give me five packs." "Just grab them yourself." "Sure thing." Lu Xiaobu picked five packs of spicy strips, then directly tore open one pack and began to eat. While eating, he started patting his pockets. Looking for money. And then, awkwardness ensued. He didnt have any money on him. "Whats the matter? No money? Came to eat for free?" Lu Ronghua noticed Lu Xiaobus awkwardness, jumped up from his seat, and said with furrowed brows and glaring eyes. The tone was particularly harsh, filled with an indescribable sense of rejection. Lu Ronghuas attitude made Lu Xiaobu frown. Was it necessary? Its just a few bucks! But, indeed, he had no money, so he didnt feel like saying much. He simply said, "Ill call my people to bring the money over, dont worry, you wont be shortchanged." Lu Xiaobu took out his phone and called Liang Lan. It was his habitual move, although the others also had money, he still instinctively called Liang Lan first. Seeing Lu Xiaobu making a phone call, Lu Ronghuas gaze didnt relax at all. He stared intently at Lu Xiaobu as if he were watching a thief! Moreover, he directly took the other four packets of spicy strips Lu Xiaobu had picked up from the table and put them inside the counter. Obviously, he didnt trust Lu Xiaobu at all. Lu Ronghuas gaze really annoyed Lu Xiaobu! He had never seen such a money-grubbing person! Its just one yuan, and he acts as if his life depends on it! So, he slammed his phone on the counter: "You wont be short of your money, my phone, a Shadow brand, you know how much its worth. Give me those spicy strips!" Although the owner was annoying, you still have to eat happily! As soon as Lu Ronghua saw the phone, his eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed the phone and pocketed it. Then he took out the four packets of spicy strips he had just put away. He took his phone but only four packets, truly a stereotype of a greedy miser. Lu Xiaobu saw the owner pocket his phone and frowned again. Forget it, Ill switch to a new phone when I get back, I dont want this one anymore. With that, the matter came to a close. Lu Xiaobu, who is usually not pretentious, simply sat on the doorstep and started eating the spicy strips. The spicy and delicious flavor that made ones mouth water entered his mouth and lifted his spirits. Hmm, tastes good! Lu Xiaobu devoured a packet of spicy strips in just a few bites, then picked up another packet and opened it. This one, to be precise, was called spicy slices. As Lu Xiaobu was eating, the owner suddenly said to him: "Kid, has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like someone?" "Who?" Lu Xiaobu replied casually while eating and catching his breath. "Its that notorious prodigal son, Lu Xiaobu! Dont you know him?!" When Lu Ronghua mentioned the name Lu Xiaobu, his eyes were filled with envy: "Lu Xiaobus life is really good, born a rich second generation, and the more he spends, the more money he has. I wish I could be like him one day!" "You? No way!" Lu Xiaobu chuckled and directly dismissed him. A guy who cares so much about a single yuan wanting to be like him?! "You! You really dont know how to make conversation!" Lu Ronghua was a bit angered by Lu Xiaobus retort but still suppressed his temper and said: "I really think you look more and more like Lu Xiaobu." "Maybe I really am Lu Xiaobu." Lu Xiaobu shrugged. "You? No, definitely not!" Lu Ronghua rolled his eyes and responded: "A person who doesnt carry any money on him, Lu Xiaobu? Is he the kind of person who goes out without money?!" Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyesI actually dont carry money! Lu Ronghua continued with envy: "Besides, when does Lu Xiaobu go out without several people following him? And look at you." "Enough, dont talk about that. The clothes youre wearing could probably last you decades, maybe even a lifetime!" "And to put it another way, I heard just the other day, a haircut for him costs ten thousand yuan. Can you save ten thousand yuan in a year?" "Let me tell you, if I saw Lu Xiaobu, Id go up to him and cling to his leg straight away, and wouldnt let go without getting ten thousand yuan!" Lu Ronghua was like opening a chatterbox; he just couldnt stop. He really was spitting while talking! Listening to this, Lu Xiaobu felt awkward. This person really had no respect, thinking money was everything. Rest assured, I wouldnt give you money even if I threw it into the water!

Suddenly, Lu Xiaobus eyes flickered: "If Lu Xiaobu told you to call him dad, would you do it?!" "Sure, why not, as long as theres money involved." Lu Ronghua rolled his eyes: "Who could refuse money! Dont think so highly of yourself!" Listening to this, Lu Xiaobu felt a bit disgusted! He gave money to others for joy, giving it to such people would only disgust him! Forget calling him dad, I wouldnt even give you money if you called me grandpa! "The topic has completely gone off track." Lu Ronghua suddenly gestured with his hand, then whispered: "I have a money-making business proposition, are you interested?!" "A money-making business?" Lu Xiaobu frowned, sensing that there was definitely something tricky about the offer. "Thats right, and its a big money-making business!" Lu Ronghuas eyes turned even more mysterious, continuously sizing up Lu Xiaobu as if plotting something! Chapter 532 - 530 Smashing Both the Person and the Store Together [2nd Update] Chapter 532: Chapter 530 Smashing Both the Person and the Store Together [2nd Update]"Go ahead, Im listening." Lu Xiaobu munched on spicy sticks and spoke. He was curious to see what this person was plotting! "I just told you that you look a lot like Lu Xiaobu, right?" Lu Ronghuas voice grew more somber: "This is a godsend opportunity for you to make money!" "Making money by looking like Lu Xiaobu?!" Lu Xiaobu was taken aback, what kind of money-making scheme was this? He didnt need a body double! "Of course, you dont understand! Who is Lu Xiaobu? Hes notorious for being a wastrel! Just get dressed up, snap a couple of photos in a nightclub, you know the type, and thats news right there! With news, are you worried about not making money?!" Lu Ronghua whispered conspiratorially, his eyes brimming with a thirst for money! "You mean to fabricate a scandal for Lu Xiaobu?!" Lu Xiaobus eyebrows shot up immediately. Fucking hell, Young Master didnt even know hed become your money-making tool! "Thats right, scandals! You dont know, people these days love this stuff!" Lu Ronghua rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with greed: "Even if you play the part well, there will probably be many people eager to create a scandal with you! Including some celebrities, just think about it, youll gain both fame and wealth!" "Your friend dares to pull this on Lu Xiaobu?" Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed, and he stopped eating the spicy sticks. He was somewhat amused by the audacity. "What is there to fear? You really think Lu Xiaobus some Monkey King with divine powers?!" Lu Ronghua rolled his eyes: "Hes just a normal person with a lot of money, thats all! This moneymaking idea came straight from my friends mouth!" "Good, very good. Tell your friend to come over. I agree!" Lu Xiaobus mouth curled into a cold smile. He really wanted to see this friend who dared to be so bold! "Alright, Ill call my bro right away! Lets get rich together!" Lu Ronghua said excitedly, reaching out to shake hands with Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu didnt even glance at his hand, leaving him hanging awkwardly. "Okay, Ill go make the call." Lu Ronghua rubbed his hands, totally embarrassed. At the same time, anger rose in his heartKid, dont get cocky, when you cry later, how much money you make is still up to us to decide?! "Hisss!" At this moment, Lu Xiaobus brow suddenly furrowed, and he sucked in a breath of cold air. Fuck, my stomach hurts! He felt his stomach churning! "Damn it! What kind of spicy sticks are these?!" Lu Xiaobu cursed and ran to the bathroom. The food he ate was meticulously prepared by Liang Lan, so it couldnt be the issue, which means the problem must be with the spicy sticks! "Young Master?! Whats wrong?" Liang Lan ran straight into Lu Xiaobu face to face. "I got food poisoning! Damn it! I need to use the bathroom first!" Lu Xiaobu clutched his stomach and ran towards the restroom. The restroom wasnt far, just across the way. Lu Xiaobu left. Liang Lan looked at the spicy sticks on the ground, and her face instantly darkened, ice-cold: "Boss, come out here! Ill give you a chance to explain!" Liang Lan was usually a very gentle woman, even the stern persona she presented in front of the employees was graceful and elegant! But there was one exception! That was when Lu Xiaobu was bullied! If Lu Xiaobu received even one insult, she would flare up! Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And now! Young Master Bu actually got food poisoning?! Got food poisoning here?! This matter had to be resolved! Dont fucking talk reason to her, she was totally unreasonable now! "Whos there?!" The impatient voice of Lu Ronghua came from behind. He had just called his friends over and was in the middle of a blissful dream when someone abruptly interrupted him! "Why is the food here making people sick to their stomachs!? I need an explanation!" Liang Lan demanded answers loudly! "Stop spouting nonsense! Dont think you can skip reasoning just because youre a woman! Which eye of yours saw my food making someone sick!? Be careful, or Ill sue you for defamation!" As soon as Lu Ronghua heard Liang Lans words, he became immediately frantic. Food poisoning?! This person must be scamming! Trying to extort money?! Ill let you see today why flowers are so red! Whats wrong with being a woman? Even his own mother cant demand money from him! While thinking this, he hurriedly walked out! And then! The moment he came out and saw Liang Lans face, his brain went completely blank! Liang Lan?! Why is Liang Lan here?! Indeed, he might not recognize Lu Xiaobu after a disguise, but undeniably, he recognized the undisguised Liang Lan! "Youre the boss, right? You better give me a good explanation today!" Liang Lans sharp gaze was fixed on Lu Ronghua, "For the last time, why did the food here cause an upset stomach?!" "Who got food poisoning?! Stop making up absurd stories! Even if youre Lu Xiaobus subordinate, you cant just say anything!" Hearing this question, Lu Ronghua became even more defiant in his tone! "Opportunitys gone, no need for explanations!" Liang Lan said expressionlessly to Zhang Meng, who had just rushed over to inquire about the situation, "Smash it! Smash everything along with the people inside!" No need for explanations, then there wont be any! "Alright!" Zhang Meng completely trusted Liang Lans judgment; since Liang Lan said to smash, then this store must be destroyed! "Bang!" With a turn and a kick, Zhang Mengs foot slammed directly into the glass door of the refrigerator! In an instant, the entire glass door exploded, with many drinks inside getting shattered! "Bang bang!" Zhang Mengs hands didnt stop, and in the blink of an eye, half of the small shop was swept away! "What are you doing?! What are you doing?! Is there no justice left?!" Lu Ronghua watched as one thing after another was smashed to pieces! His heart was filled with immense anger and distress! He was such a miser that he wouldnt let a single dollar slip by, and now to say nothing of his shop being trashed! So, he stood in front of Zhang Meng: "Stop! If you must smash, then smash me along with it..." Then, he got his wish and was flung out! He was thrown out directly by Zhang Meng grabbing him by the collar! Just smashing, that satisfies you! Lu Ronghua got up from the ground and, seeing the wrecked shop, suddenly sat down on the ground and began crying and shouting, "My shop! Lu Xiaobu is bullying people! My money! Smashing my shop for no reason!" While crying, he continued shouting! The louder he shouted, the more spectators who had already been drawn by the commotion of the store being smashed gathered around! "Whats going on?" "Isnt that Liang Lan and Zhang Meng?" "What happened?!" "Does it mean Lu Xiaobu is bullying people?!" "It cant be! When has Lu Xiaobu ever bullied ordinary people?!" "But the fact is right before our eyes!" "Has Lu Xiaobu turned bad as well?!" "..." People always sympathize with the underdogs. And now, with Lu Ronghua clearly sitting on the ground crying out loud, appearing to be the underdog, plus Zhang Meng and Liang Lan, who couldnt be bothered to explain, their sympathies unavoidably tilted towards Lu Ronghua. ps: The remaining three updates will come shortly before 12 oclock; I know you dont believe it, but there really was a power outage at Elder Fengs house today. However, hehe, I have written everything down on paper; itll be quick to just type it up! Chapter 533 - 531 Evil Grows with Fearlessness [3rd Update for No Regrets] Chapter 533: Chapter 531 Evil Grows with Fearlessness [3rd Update for No Regrets]The onlookers watched Liang Lan and Zhang Mengs actions feeling angry but not daring to speak up. So they could only whisper among themselves. "I thought Lu Xiaobu had good character, it seems hes really just a spoiled young master." "Natures hard to change, a spendthrift is always a spendthrift!" "Poor Elder Lu!" "Do you think Lu Xiaobu will compensate?!" "Compensate my ass! Youre thinking too much!" "..." And at this moment, Lu Xiaobu came back with an ashen face. Damn it, what the hell is this spicy strip! Why does it feel like I have been poisoned, and my stomach still hurts! Lu Xiaobu walked through the crowd unnoticed, thought to be just another onlooker. "Where did you go just now?! Why didnt you help me watch the shop?!" Instead, Lu Ronghua suddenly jumped up, pointing at Lu Xiaobus nose and cursed: "I kindly let you eat in my shop and even introduced you to a money-making business, and you just ran away when something happened, didnt you?!" "Im telling you, you are also responsible today, you must compensate me!" Lu Ronghuas ability to twist the facts and shift blame was indeed impressive. Describing the act of holding Lu Xiaobus phone as collateral as kindness, blaming the shop smashing on Lu Xiaobu, and even shamelessly demanding compensation from Lu Xiaobu! But, its understandable, if he didnt have this ability, he wouldnt have thought about making money using Lu Xiaobus scandal! While speaking, Lu Ronghua even reached out to grab Lu Xiaobu! To him, a man who loves money like life, being thrifty to the extreme, his shop being smashed is like taking his life! So, he was already seeing red and absolutely needed a scapegoat! "Bang!" Before he could touch Lu Xiaobu, Zhang Meng suddenly leaped forward and kicked Lu Ronghua flying! "Young Master." Zhang Meng bowed and called out. "Young Master." Liang Lan also stepped forward, standing beside Lu Xiaobu, and gently rubbed his stomach, asking, "Still feeling uncomfortable?" "Its better, but still very painful." Lu Xiaobu frowned and said, "Sister Lan, arrange for someone to check this thing, why is it so powerful?! Its like being poisoned!" Listening to their conversation. The onlookers all looked dumbfounded. "Young Master? Young Master?! What does that mean?! Is this person Lu Xiaobu?!" "Holy shit! It really is! I didnt recognize him just now!" "My god, it seems like Lu Xiaobu got a bad stomach here! No wonder he was so angry!" "..." "Are you Lu Xiaobu?!" The most shocked was Lu Ronghua who had just gotten up from the ground. Hes gone mad!? What?! This is actually Lu Xiaobu himself? He actually said those things in front of Lu Xiaobu just now?! And Lu Xiaobu heard him planning to use a Lu Xiaobu look-alike for a scandalous story?! He must be going crazy! In an instant, his heart sank. Its over! He provoked Lu Xiaobu, now its completely over! Suddenly! Fury rises from the heart, evil grows alongside courage! No! I cant just let it go! Even if it is Lu Xiaobu, he cant just steal my money! "Lu Xiaobu, dont you get cocky! You know my friend is about to arrive! Im telling you, as soon as he exposes you, youre done!" S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Ronghua stood up, pointing at Lu Xiaobu, and howled, "If you dont compensate me 200,000, no, 2 million! I will have my friend expose you!" "You really dare to ask for that much." Lu Xiaobu was amused, "Why didnt you say 5 million then!" At this point, this person still loves money as life itself, truly a damn oddity! The epitome of greed! "Then make it 5 million!" Lu Ronghua immediately got aggressive, with a smug look on his face, "Scared, arent you!" Looking at Lu Ronghuas expression, not just Lu Xiaobu, even the onlookers started to feel sick. They all began to distance themselves from Lu Ronghua. "This guy is really too much!" "Yes, this is downright extortion!" "Never mind the reasons, even if Lu Xiaobu was in the wrong, you cant just demand 5 million like that!" "He really does love money as though his life depends on it!" "..." Lu Ronghua hearing the onlookers, once again brought up that old argument: "What are you babbling about, when you encounter such a windfall, wouldnt you ask for it!? Just wait until I get that 5 million, youll all be green with envy!" "Hey, now hes showing off, where is this confidence coming from?!" Lu Xiaobu was truly amused! "Confidence?! Just wait for my friend to arrive, then youll see where my confidence comes from!" Lu Ronghua said this while pacing around the area. While walking, he also shouted: "Move, move, stay back, this is a crime scene, we need to protect it." Not just shouting, he even began pushing people: "Move it, cant you understand human language?!" He even pushed a child, provoking angry glares from the childs parents. He justified himself: "What are you looking at? Your kid is tampering with the scene, you should be thankful Im not holding you responsible!" This guy, isnt he infuriating, always talking about money! "Scum!" "Trash!" "No wonder Lu Xiaobu hit you! You deserved it!" "Peh! A jerk fixated on money, no wonder your wife left you! If I were her, I wouldnt stay with you either!" "Also, your mother must have been driven to death by you! When people said it, I didnt believe it! Now it seems so true!" "What? Driven his mom to death?! Is that true?!" "Right, I heard before, his mother was sick and asked him for money to see a doctor, he disgustingly hesitated, afraid to spend money. Instead, he took her to a small clinic for a quick round and considered it done! The next day, the old lady passed away!" "This is just being a complete bastard!" "..." People around were discussing, but Lu Ronghua was completely ignoring them, zealously preserving the crime scene and even laughing heinously while clutching his injuries. All of that, just for money! At this moment. "Elder Wang, what did you call me here for?!" A guy with sneaky eyes, holding a camera, came over shouting, "Whats the news that had to be discussed in person! Dont even think, you definitely want a favor fee, right?! Man, weve been working together for so long, cant you trust me a bit!" Hearing this persons voice, Lu Ronghua was overjoyed, "Elder Wang, hurry, hurry, come here! This is big news, if you help me with this, Ill give you one... one thousand! Yeah, one thousand yuan!" He initially thought of saying ten thousand, but after consideration, it was too painful for him, so he switched to one thousand! Had it not been too low, Elder Wang wouldnt agree, he would definitely offer just a hundred! Chapter 534 - 532: The Extremely Furious Liang Lan [4th Update for Wu Hui] Chapter 534: Chapter 532: The Extremely Furious Liang Lan [4th Update for Wu Hui]"What news is it?" Elder Wang furrowed his brows as he pushed through the crowd. "Looks like quite the gathering!" "Absolutely big news. Lu Xiaobu bullied me, smashed up my shop, and beat me up, look, all here as evidence!" Lu Ronghua had a brilliant smile on his face as he showed Elder Wang his spoils of war. However, Elder Wang didnt even get to hear the whole story. As soon as he heard the name Lu Xiaobu, his brain froze up. He looked at Lu Ronghua in disbelief: "Who did you say?! Lu...Lu...Xiaobu?!" "Yeah, Lu Xiaobu! Look, hes standing right there!" Lu Ronghua pointed at Lu Xiaobu: "Quick, get a close-up on him!" "Gagagagaga!" A strange sound suddenly came from Elder Wangs mouth. It was the sound of his teeth clattering non-stop! He was trembling with fear! His head mechanically turned, and he instantly saw the standing Lu Xiaobu, and of course, Lu Xiaobus two most notorious lieutenants, Zhang Meng and Liang Lan! "Boom!" A bolt of lightning flashed through his head, leaving his entire brain blank. "Thump thump thump!" Uncontrollably, he stepped back twice and fell on his butt! "Whoosh!" Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The thirty-six thousand pores on his body seemed to open like floodgates, instantly soaking his clothes through! It was really Lu Xiaobu! Has Lu Ronghua gone mad?! He actually wants to scam Lu Xiaobu?! Damn, if you want to die, dont drag me into this! You want me to report that Lu Xiaobu bullied you?! If it were true, fine, I could go be a Monk in the mountains, but if its fake, tomorrow well be watching the sunrise from the graveyard! "Elder Wang, whats wrong with you?!" Lu Ronghua frowned at Elder Wang on the ground: "Youre not scared of him, are you? I remember you said you werent afraid of him!" "Shit! That was me blowing steam when I was drunk, and you believed it!" Elder Wang went mad! He knew this Lu Ronghua would do anything for money! But he never thought hed actually choose not to value his life! Shivering, he said to Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master Lu, I... I dont know him, Im just passing by, Ill be going now!" "Stay right there." Lu Xiaobu sat in his chair, looking at Elder Wang on the ground: "Do you think Im blind?" "No no no! Not blind, not blind! How could you possibly be blind, its me whos blind, no, I mean, Im not blind either, its this money-grubbing Lu Ronghua whos blind! Its really not my business!" Elder Wang kept bowing to Lu Xiaobu, hoping Lu Xiaobu would spare him! Meanwhile, Lu Ronghua was completely dumbfounded! What was going on?! Why was Elder Wang begging Lu Xiaobu?! He had always said he wanted to make money from Lu Xiaobu! He had always treated Elder Wang as his ace in the hole! But what was happening now?! With his ace in the hole gone, fear filled his heart once again! Without a way to threaten Lu Xiaobu, what would become of him?! Fear made him somewhat hysterical: "Elder Wang! Elder Wang! Dont chicken out! We can get five million from Lu Xiaobu, Ill give you ten thousand, no, a hundred thousand, five hundred thousand! Deal?!" "Fucking hell! Youre still talking! Keep talking!" Elder Wang exploded on the spot! Was this Lu Ronghua a devil?! Why keep dragging him to Hell?! If you want me to die, Ill make sure you die first! Elder Wang was furious to the core, on the verge of erupting! He swung his camera and smashed it onto Lu Ronghua! "Bang!" Instantly, the camera exploded! Elder Wang was on top of Lu Ronghua, throwing left and right punches: "You dumbass!" "A dipshit blinded by money!" "Moron who messed with Lu Xiaobu!" "Moron who wants to drag me to death with him!" "The fucker who grudgingly gave me only a thousand bucks out of five million!" With each curse, Elder Wang threw a vicious punch at Lu Ronghuas face! The beating left Lu Ronghua with a swollen nose and face, cracked lips, and a nosebleed gushing! He was beaten to a pulp! "Stop hitting! Please, stop hitting!" Lu Ronghua was frantically dodging and begging for mercy! Lu Xiaobu watched the two men squabbling like dogs and sneered coldly: "Hit him! With all your might, show me how much power youve got!" People are crazy these days! Anyone dares to plot and scheme! Hearing what Lu Xiaobu said, Elder Wang hit even harder! "Sister Lan, take this stuff for testing. I want to see just what the hell Ive been eating!" Lu Xiaobu pointed with his toe at a packet of spicy strips on the ground. "Its already arranged," Liang Lan nodded, "The results should be out soon." If she were still waiting for arrangements in a situation like this, she might as well quit her job! "Okay!" Lu Xiaobu nodded. As soon as he spoke, Liang Lan received a call. While on the phone, her face turned even colder in an instant! "Young Master, the results are in! Coliform bacteria, the standard is that the concentration in 100 grams should be less than or equal to 90 MPN, but this packet of spicy strips tested at 930 MPN!" Liang Lan said with a grim expression. There was something she didnt say, for fear of disgusting the Young Master! That was, the concentration of coliform bacteria in adult feces is 108 MPN! This meant, damn it, that the packet Young Master had just eaten was equivalent to eating twenty grams of feces! She was so angry she couldnt put it into words, she wanted to kill someone! But it wasnt over yet! "The total bacterial count is meant to be less than or equal to ten thousand CFU per gram, and this packet of spicy strips has a concentration of two hundred and ninety thousand, a whole twenty-nine times the limit!" Fuck, the total bacterial count in toilet water is roughly around 48,000 CFU/g! That fucking means, not only did he eat twenty grams of feces, he also fucking drank six grams of toilet water! Liang Lan, a woman, truly wanted to grab a knife and kill someone at that moment! But! It still wasnt over! "Deoxynivalenol, commonly known as vomitoxin!" "Eating too much can cause vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and confusion to the point of unsteadiness." "The Young Master must have been poisoned by this just now!" "The limit is 1000 g/kg, whereas the content in this packet of spicy strips is 1496 g/kg! One and a half times over the limit!" Liang Lans expression was really as steely as a slab of iron! Like before, there was still something she didnt say! Because, damn it, the standard for pig feed is also 1000 g/kg! The Young Master had just eaten a packet of spicy strips, equivalent to a bit, you do the math! It made her sick to mention it, let alone that the Young Master had personally eaten it! Damn it! Out of rage, she walked up to Lu Ronghua and kicked him several times! Her sharp heels stabbing Lu Ronghua made him scream out loud! Liang Lan had vented a bit of her anger! However, the chief culprit wasnt here! She took out her phone and made a call: "Arrange for people to collect all the spicy strips in the city for testing! Gather all that are not up to standard! Burn them!" "Also, distribute the list of tested names to all city merchants! We cant have such products appear again! If they do, then stop the distribution of Lao Ganma and cola!" Liang Lan was truly enraged! Ban it! It must be banned!!! Chapter 535 - 533 Eating Real Shit [5th Update, Extra for Wu Hui] Chapter 535: Chapter 533 Eating Real Shit [5th Update, Extra for Wu Hui]Lu Xiaobu looked at Liang Lan, who seemed even angrier than him. He knew there must be something Liang Lan hadnt told him, afraid that he would blow his top! However, he was also a bit curious. What kind of matter was it that made Liang Lan make a decision without his consent, and directly ban spicy strips city-wide?! If it werent for an absolutely enraged Liang Lan, she would never do such a thing! At the very least, she would have asked for his opinion. He really wanted to ask, but seeing Liang Lan like that, he thought about it and decided to wait! Let Liang Lan vent first! After Liang Lan finished her phone call, she came over: "Young Master, lets go, to the hospital." "For what?" Lu Xiaobu was startled; Sister Lan, who was always so elegant, was in such a hurry this time. "To pump your stomach!" Liang Lan said anxiously, pulling Lu Xiaobu into the car. She dared not even think about it, and the Young Master had eaten it! "No need." Lu Xiaobu said helplessly. "Lets check it out first." Liang Lan said urgently, with a pleading look in her eyes! "Alright, alright!" Lu Xiaobu couldnt stand that kind of look, so he agreed! ... By the time they arrived at the hospital, Lu Group had dispatched a special team to inspect and test all spicy strips in the city! And the result! Frustratingly, not a single brand of spicy strips met the standards! Remember, not a single one was even qualified! They couldnt even achieve the basic standards! Thus, following Liang Lans orders, all the spicy strips in the city were collected and piled up in the garbage dump! Do you know how much? Five tons! A full five tons! These five tons of spicy strips, piled up in the garbage dump, was a spectacular sight! And the city residents had already been startled by Lu Groups actions, which seemed insane! Now, they were all gathered around the garbage dump! "Whats this for?!" "Yeah, is Lu Xiaobu freaking out again?!" "Why buy all the spicy strips and then throw them in the garbage dump?!" "I wanted to buy some just now, but none were available. I asked around and finally found this place!" "It feels strange, doesnt it? Buying spicy strips, not eating them, and then throwing them in the garbage dump?!" "..." While people were discussing, Lu Xiaobu arrived. His face was genuinely ice-cold at this point. Liang Lan had already told him the truth! He damn had eaten the equivalent of twenty grams of shit, drank six grams of toilet water, and got freakin poisoned?! Motherfuckers! This wont be forgotten! Those who made the spicy strips, wait for me. In a few days, Ill make you eat real shit! Fuck all of you! "Zhang Meng, burn it!" Lu Xiaobu commanded, looking at the pile of shit in front of him. "Yes!" Zhang Meng didnt look happy either! He took out a lighter and quickly lit up the mountain of spicy strips! Instantly, the smell of burning gutter oil mixed with the burning plastic bags spread throughout the entire garbage dump! Thick smoke billowed, darkening the sky! The flames grew gradually bigger! Eventually, the whole mountain of spicy strips turned into a volcano! "Crackle and pop!" Various sounds kept coming from inside! The people around were stunned! "Why burn them all?!" "What the hell is Lu Xiaobu thinking?!" "Is he having a mental breakdown?!" "Buying a bunch of food, and then burning it?!" "Wasting food isnt supposed to be like this!" "Seriously, whats going on here?!" "..." Lu Xiaobu couldnt be bothered to explain to them; he just quietly watched the fire in front of him burn. "System, you know what to do, I dont need to tell you!" Lu Xiaobu said in his mind. "Alright alright, Im going to formulate the recipe for you!" The system muttered: "I thought with the Temporary Attribute, youd calm down for a bit, but how many days has it been?" "Less talk! Hurry up, I want to eat real spicy strips!" Lu Xiaobu scolded the system! Once you start eating spicy strips, out of sight, out of mind, but once you get hooked, you just freaking cant help yourself! ... It was not long before the large-scale burning made the news. "Lu Xiaobu Clears Out Shimens Spicy Strips and Burns Them at the Dump" "The Truth Behind the Massive Burning" "Lu Xiaobu Bans Spicy Strips City-wide, Choose Spicy Strips, Stop Selling Cola and Lao Ganma" "The Lu Groups Big Move" "The Lu Groups Test Report Delivery" "The Spicy Strips We Eat Every Day, Are Actually Made of Sh*t?" "Exorbitant Profits of Unscrupulous Businesses" "..." These reports clearly and factually broadcasted the whole story! People who were originally interested in Lu Xiaobu burning spicy strips naturally paid a lot of attention to these news stories. And then! Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After reading them! "Ugh!" Countless people ran to the toilets, violently vomiting! "F*ck me, thats freaking disgusting!" "Damn you, unscrupulous merchants, hope your sons are born without assholes! What the hell is the difference between this and sh*t?!" "Eating a pack of spicy strips is like eating twenty grams of sh*t? Plus six grams of toilet water? Are you f*cking afraid well choke? Both dry and watery!" "Cursing the neighbors! Dont you feel disgusted earning money like this?!" "I just wanna ask those who make spicy strips, do you eat them?!" "I thought Lu Xiaobu was going crazy! Now it seems, hes really eliminating a scourge for the people!" "Lu Xiaobu, socially responsible!" "Its better to eat products from the Lu Group! They are safe!" "Yeah! Clean and hygienic, and they taste good!" "I swear, I wont touch spicy strips again, damn, its just disgusting." "..." The whole internet was buzzing about spicy strips! Soon, the spicy strips issue spread from Shimen to the rest of the country! The speed of the spread was incredibly fast! After all, Heavenly Dynasty is a country of gastronomy; people are particularly concerned about food, especially food safety! Now, the whole nation was in an uproar! "F*ck me, is this real or fake?!" "Im eating it right now, damn it! I need to go throw up!" "Thats f*cking disgusting!" "Strong demand for the exposure of unscrupulous manufacturers!" "Lu Xiaobu did the right thing! Crazy likes for Lu Xiaobu!" "Lu Xiaobu is truly Lu Xiaobu!" "Never buying spicy strips again!" "Holy sh*t, I just got it tested, what Lu Xiaobu said is true! F*ck! My son eats sh*t every day?! Damn you all!" "Step forward manufacturers, Im going to kill you!" "..." The waves of this incident were one after another, getting bigger and bigger! The attention it drew kept growing and the scope kept expanding! People started to spontaneously boycott spicy strips! Now, those spicy strips manufacturers were unhappy! Lu Xiaobu was cutting off their livelihoods! But they couldnt fight against Lu Xiaobu, so what could they do? Find a backer, of course! The spicy strips industry had been steady for so many years, they must have a backer! Chapter 536 - 534: Don’t Call Me, I’m Not Your Daddy [First Update] Chapter 536: Chapter 534: Dont Call Me, Im Not Your Daddy [First Update]Shanan Province! Inside a privately customized villa. A row of spicy strip producers admired the luxurious decor inside the room while quietly waiting for their boss to appear. "Ah, the bosss life is still so good!" "Kidding, thats the boss were talking about, a figure on the Second Level Rich List, who wouldnt show him some respect!" "Do you think the boss can handle Lu Xiaobu?!" "Definitely! How old is Lu Xiaobu compared to how long our boss has been fighting in the business arena! Hes eaten more salt than Lu has eaten rice! Besides, Lu Xiaobu is just the top of the Third Level Rich List! And our boss? Hes a person on the Second Level Rich List!" "Exactly, exactly, with the boss taking action, theres definitely no problem!" "Lets wait for the bosss arrangement!" "..." At this moment. "I know all about it, you can all go back! Ill think of a way!" At this moment, a voice came through, interrupting the low murmurs of those present. "Yes, boss." The group exchanged glances, not surprised at all, they were used to it. Ever since the boss joined the rich list, their meetings had become few and far between. They also knew why; the rich list had strict assessments on creditworthiness and public trust. If people on the rich list found out that their boss was the mogul behind these shady manufacturers, trouble would come knocking! After everyone had left. A middle-aged man finally emerged from the inner hall. However, his expression was less than pleasant as he paced slowly in the large hall, pondering the reason why Lu Xiaobu, who normally didnt interfere with his affairs, suddenly made a move against him! His name was Qin Xunchang, ranked 96 on the Second Level Rich List, meaning his net worth was around fifteen billion! The key point was that the majority of his wealth came from the group that had just left. He used to have a small factory, then they formed an alliance, and he became the boss through some tactics. He was then in charge of producing the raw materials and then handing them over to small factories for processing, perfectly sidestepping the rich lists audit and successfully joining it. It was a virtuous cycle from there on, the bigger he grew, the more protection he could offer, the more he earned, and the more he earned, the bigger his operations! All the way to the Second Level Rich List! Incredible, isnt it? But such is the truth! This also led to the situation where, when there were issues with these spicy strip producers, they would definitely turn to him, their boss! They were all tied to the same string, none could do without the others! "Secretary, book me a plane ticket, I have to go to Shimen!" Qin Xunchang tapped his head, preparing to talk things over with Lu Xiaobu. "Yes." A very languid woman, lacking any clothing, stepped out of the room, full of dissatisfaction. Clearly, something indescribable had just happened! ... Shimen. The system was still busy with formula matters and hadnt yet returned, so Lu Xiaobu had no choice but to make do with some Lao Ganma to satiate his cravings. "Young Master, Qin Xunchang requests to see you. Will you meet him?" Liang Lan asked softly "Who?!" Lu Xiaobu was a bit stunned. "Hes ranked 96 on the Second Level Rich List!" Liang Lan explained, "He produces snacks, mainly bean and flour-based snacks!" Thats all the information Liang Lan had managed to find. As for the relationship between Qin Xunchang and the unsavory spicy strip factories, the people from the rich list didnt find out, so of course, she couldnt either. "No need, whats that got to do with me?" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. Meetings every single day, having to see whoever comes by, then he might as well not do anything else! "He mentioned he can provide information about spicy strip producers." Liang Lan heard Qin Xunchangs bargaining chip while replying to him. "Is that so? Then lets meet." Lu Xiaobus eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this news. "Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan went to make arrangements. Soon. Both parties met in the meeting room of the Lu Group. "Young Master Lu, Ive long admired your reputation!" Qin Xunchang was very cordial. "You said you have news about a spicy strip manufacturer?" Lu Xiaobu got straight to the point. "Of course, because the person youre looking for is an acquaintance of mine." Qin Xunchang said without batting an eyelid. "Tell me the name of your so-called acquaintance, and you name your price." Lu Xiaobu continued. "I might not be a hero, but Young Master Lu, asking me to sell out a friend so directly is a bit much, isnt it?" Qin Xunchang was dodging and weaving. He had to pique Lu Xiaobus interest first and probe step by step! But then! "So theres nothing to talk about? Show him out!" Lu Xiaobu didnt have the time to tiptoe around with Qin Xunchang! "Huh?!" Qin Xunchang was stunned. To hell with it, Lu Xiaobu, youre not playing by the rules! Just like that, youre not asking anymore?! "Wait, wait, Young Master Lu, hold on!" Qin Xunchang quickly tried to stop Lu Xiaobu. He didnt want to leave without accomplishing anything. "What? You ready to sell out your friend?" Lu Xiaobu sneered, "Quit pretending to be the boss, spit it out. Thats what you are here for today, right?" At this time, Qin Xunchang, and even using the news about the spicy strip manufacturer to get him to agree to a meeting. If you say its not for this reason, would anyone believe it?! But Qin Xunchang is still freaking leading him in circles! "Alright, Young Master Lu is straightforward, so Ill cut to the chase." Qin Xunchang gritted his teeth with irritation, encountering such an unpredictable person, all his secret plans and tactics were mostly useless! "I am actually here to mediate today, my acquaintance said, Young Master Lu, whatever you want, just say it. As long as its not too unreasonable, he can agree, so please be generous, Young Master Lu!" Qin Xunchang said out loud. He pushed everything he wanted to say onto his so-called acquaintance. "What I want?! I want the bastard to eat shit!" Lu Xiaobu slammed the table hard: "Get the hell out!" "Young Master Lu!?" Qin Xunchang was dumbfounded by the swearing! Whats this about?! I circle around, you get mad, I accept that! Now why are you still angry?! And you start by telling me to eat shit?! Did I offend you?! "Dont fucking call me, Im not your daddy." Lu Xiaobu turned and walked away. A mediator?! So that means youre siding with that shit-eating bastard, doesnt it? Then why the hell are we even talking! "Lu Xiaobu!" Qin Xunchang suddenly stood up: "I came over with good intentions to talk business, and this is how you treat me?!" "Dont get too cocky! Im a man from the Second Level Rich List, if we really start a fight, you might not be able to handle it!" First courtesy, then persuasion, since the nice approach didnt work, lets try the hard approach! "Eat your fucking shit!" Lu Xiaobu took off his shoe and threw it over: "Zhang Meng, throw him out for me! And hes fucking threatening me?!" "Smack!" Lu Xiaobus shoe hit Qin Xunchang directly in the face! Instantly, a big footprint appeared! Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As the shoe slowly slid off Qin Xunchangs face, his expression was priceless to behold! Chapter 537 - 535: Food Safety is More Important Than Everything 【2nd Update】 Chapter 537: Chapter 535: Food Safety is More Important Than Everything 2nd UpdateQin Xunchang could clearly feel the imprint of a shoe on his face. A savage fury erupted in his heart! How good can the temper be of someone who can earn dirty money so openly?! All he wanted now was to use money to settle problems without further effort! But! This Lu Xiaobu was so uncooperative, repeatedly disregarding his words as if they were nothing! Now, to even raise a hand against him?! S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was a feud that could not share the same sky! However, as he was pondering this, Zhang Meng grabbed him! "What are you doing?! What do you want?!" Qin Xunchangs anger intensified! These Lu Group people are all hooligans! Would Zhang Meng even answer him?! Youve got to be kidding! Zhang Meng, using his massive strength, dragged Qin Xunchang out and straight-up tossed him from Lu Group. Yep, Qin Xunchang fell hard onto his butt! Humiliation, rage, an endless turmoil of emotions churned within him! Him, a high-profile figure on the Second Level Rich List, thrown out like that?! This is freaking war! So be it, lets fight to the death then! As he was thinking this, he noticed bursts of camera flashes! Qin Xunchangs pathetic state was recorded clearly by the reporters who had been following the struggle between Lu Group and the spicy snacks industry! "What are you doing?!" Qin Xunchangs fury escalated further! His years of self-cultivation and restraint went straight to the dogs in a split second! "What are we doing?! This is going on the news!" The reporters scurried away; those who dared to hunt for news near Lu Group were not afraid of trouble! This news was absolutely front-page material! Sure enough! Just after Qin Xunchang got home, he saw the news! His miserable figure sitting outside Lu Groups entrance was spread all over the internet! "Qin Xunchang Thrown Out of Lu Group" "Is This the Beginning of Lu Groups War with Qin Xunchang?" "Does This Mean Lu Xiaobu Is Going for the Second Level Rich List?" "Was Qin Xunchangs Visit to Lu Xiaobu Related to the Recent Spicy Snacks Incident?" "Lu Xiaobu Is Still the Reckless Lu Xiaobu" "The Most Embarrassing Moment in Qin Xunchangs History" "..." "Damn it!" Watching one news item after another, Qin Xunchang, who was already furious, just exploded! He swung a chair and smashed it onto the computer in front of him! "Lu Xiaobu, this means war between us!" Qin Xunchang really hadnt expected to be humiliated by Lu Xiaobu like this without revealing his own true identity! He immediately took out his phone and started making arrangements! Damn it, I cant speak for other industries, but you dare to fight with me in the spicy snacks industry?! Ill give you a good fight! ... That very same evening, A subtle recall campaign for spicy snacks began! Qin Xunchang invested a huge sum of money, instructing people to buy back spicy snacks, not through standard manufacturer recalls, but by purchasing them! And those merchants, already stressed about not being able to sell their spicy snacks due to the current scandal, Now that someone was buying, naturally chose to sell off their entire stock even at a loss. Under these mutually agreeable circumstances, the nations spicy snacks were bought back within a couple of days! ... While Qin Xunchang was busy with the spicy snacks recall, The system had also found the recipe Lu Xiaobu was looking for. "Here, the formula you wanted." The system said languidly. "Good. It meets the standard, right? None of that E. coli and whatnot!" Lu Xiaobu nodded and took it. "Of course, its not just up to standard, its completely absent! After all, those things are just what manufacturers do to cut costs. Making spicy strips with peace of mind isnt supposed to involve any of that!" The system explained casually, "Im off! You take your time dealing with it!" "Okay." Lu Xiaobu bid farewell to the system, then called over Liang Lan: "Sister Lan, lets start building the factory, heres the formula. Its okay if it takes a little longer, think big, lets completely take over the spicy strip market!" "Sure, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded her head. After Liang Lan left, Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes: "That bastard who deserves to eat shit, Im waiting for you to show up!" Once he dominated the spicy strip market, he didnt believe that bastard wouldnt pop out! ... Lu Xiaobu and Qin Xunchang from both sides were pulling their tricks. However, Qin Xunchang, who was exerting less effort, was moving a bit faster. All the spicy strips had been completely recalled. ... And on the internet at this moment. The spicy strip controversy was continuing, but it was starting to slow down. After all, if you dont eat them, theres no need to keep scrutinizing something barely distinguishable from shit! But just then, the spicy strip controversy was brought up once again! This time, it wasnt Lu Xiaobu, but Qin Xunchang! Qin Xunchang held a press conference! Today, Qin Xunchang was dressed very formally, his face full of a serious expression! "I want to talk about the spicy strip incident from before at todays press conference." Qin Xunchang, with his hands propped on the podium, said to the dense crowd of journalists below: "As a leader in the snack industry, especially in the noodle and bean snack sectors, Qin Group has an undeniable social responsibility when such issues arise." "Its not just because I am on the Second Level Rich List, but also because of my duty as someone in the food industry!" "So, after that day, we immediately began investigating the truth of the matter." "After all, food safety is more important than anything!" As he said this, the journalists below broke into applause. "Well said!" "Right, food safety is more important than anything!" "Nice job!" "..." After the applause and praise, Qin Xunchang pressed his hands down, signaling for everyone to be quiet. "I know everyone is eager to hear the results, I understand." "In fact, we had the results a few days ago, but I had some doubts about them, so I went to seek evidence from Lu Xiaobu, and, well, you all know the outcome." Qin Xunchangs words made the journalists furrow their brows. What does this mean? Something feels off! Wasnt it Lu Xiaobu who first noticed the problems with the spicy strips? Why does it now seem like Qin Xunchang is mentioning something completely different from Lu Xiaobu?! And that last encounter?! That encounter wasnt pleasant at all! By linking this to the spicy strip controversy, what is Qin Xunchang implying? Everyones curiosity was piqued! "Dont be hasty, let me show you a piece of news first!" "I heard that Lu Group has been purchasing some equipment recently, and it just so happens that I have good relations with the manufacturer of that equipment. After all, its equipment for making snacks. Yes, for noodle-type, spicy strip-type snacks." Qin Xunchang continued. This piqued even greater curiosity among the journalists, but also made the more perceptive ones perk up! Could this be! "Alright, lets get back on topic. The news I have found out is that all the spicy strips meet the standard, so... where exactly did the problem arise?!" Qin Xunchang spread his hands and slowly said. A statement that caused a stormy reaction! He was directly pointing at Lu Xiaobu! Chapter 538 - 536: Settling Affairs [3rd Update] Chapter 538: Chapter 536: Settling Affairs [3rd Update]Upon hearing Qin Xunchangs words, the reporters went wild! This was a complete and open confrontation! The test results from Lu Xiaobu indicated that all the spicy strips were substandard! Yet, the test results from Qin Xunchang showed that all the spicy strips were up to standard! Lu Xiaobu topped the Third Level Rich List, with a net worth of tens of billions! While Qin Xunchang was 96th on the Second Level Rich List, with a fortune of fifteen billion! Lu Xiaobus reputation and fame in the Heavenly Dynasty need no further mention! But Qin Xunchang is also a frontrunner in the snack industry! The same issue, yet these two came up with different conclusions! Which of them is lying?! "May I ask, Mr. Qin, are you implying that Lu Xiaobu is deliberately discrediting the current spicy strip industry to enter the market?!" "Mr. Qin, can you clarify your statement?!" "Mr. Qin, could you reveal some details about your last meeting?!" "Mr. Qin, could you please explain in detail?!" "..." Countless reporters, faces full of urgency, bombarded him with questions one after another! There is no small matter in food safety! In this case, its not about sparing someones feelings or not! Now that Lu Xiaobu and Qin Xunchang are at odds, whoever ends up lying is in for a grim outcome! This is a battle wagering fortunes and lives! "Sorry, were still investigating. The purpose of this press conference was merely to share with everyone what we know so far. As for follow-up information, we need to continue our investigation!" "However, please rest assured, as a member of the Second Level Rich List and with Qin Group being a leader in the snack industry, especially in noodles and beans, we shall take full responsibility for this matter!" After finishing, Qin Xunchang left the stage! His statement was high-sounding but left all the reporters itching with curiosity! Qin Xunchang was clearly teasing them! They began to chase after Qin Xunchang, hoping he would provide an answer! However, how could Qin Xunchang possibly respond, just brushing everyone off before getting into his car and speeding away! Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... Due to the impact of this press conference, the same afternoon saw public uproar! As mentioned, there is no small matter in food safety. Plus, since both sides are heavyweights, Lu Xiaobus influence in the media now seemed insufficient! "Qin Xunchangs Words Directly Point to Lu Xiaobus Unfair Competition" "Lu Xiaobu or Qin Xunchang: Who is Lying?!" "Which one of the two is fooling the world?! Who is joking with the health of the citizens?!" "Rich List officials announce their involvement in the investigation" "Food safety has become a means for businessmen to profit, disgraceful! Pathetic!" "There must be an accounting for this matter" ... Public opinion exploded! "What?! Qin Xunchangs investigation found no issues?!" "Is that true?! Is Lu Xiaobu sensationalizing?!" "Nonsense! I personally verified it before, what Lu Xiaobu said is true!" "Who knows if youre a paid shill?! Besides, even if youre not, how can you prove that the one you got isnt an exception?" "Im a shill your nextdoor neighbor curses!" "I believe that Young Master Bu isnt like that! Hes so kind-hearted, he wouldnt joke about this!" "Yes, I feel the same!" "But would Qin Xunchang lie?! Hes on the Second Level Rich List and specializes in snacks, isnt he more professional than Lu Xiaobu?!" "Exactly! We must trust the professionals on this matter!" "But regardless of whos right and whos wrong, Im not going to eat spicy strips for now!" "..." The situation is exploding! The whole society is shaken. People from all walks of life are standing up! News industry: "This matter must be reported truthfully. No matter whose fault it is, everyone deserves an explanation. Whoever dares to fabricate or joke about this must be sternly punished!" Education sector: "Snacks like spicy strips often appear in the hands of students, this issue seriously threatens their safety, and a resolution is necessary!" Food industry: "There is no trivial matter in food safety. In this regard, no ones face can be spared. This tarnishes our food industry! Qin Xunchang is not a conformist; what a great job speaking out the truth!" Esports industry: "We dont make judgments, but we believe Young Master Bu is not that kind of person!" Literature sector: "We..." ... For a time, the whole society has its eyes on this matter, and everyone is voicing their stance and showing their support. Anyway, its a noisy quarrel, with everyone thinking they have the right on their side! Theres no way around it, this time is not like before, with one side having an absolute advantage. This time both parties have high social status and dont seem like the type to joke about such matters. Do you say Lu Xiaobu has good social credibility? Id say Qin Xunchang has high professionalism! Do you say Lu Xiaobu is at the top of the Third Level Rich List? Heres my comeback: Qin Xunchang is on the Second Level Rich List! Do you say Xiaobu wouldnt do sneaky things? Then let me ask you, would Qin Xunchang do them?! ... Both sides are evenly matched, exchanging blows! Even many TV shows and news segments focus on this issue. Soon, the related departments took notice. They swiftly conducted spot checks and tests on spicy strips on the market. And the results came out fast! "The current market compliance rate for spicy strips is 90 percent, meeting our countrys standards, with only a minority of products failing!" With this news, public opinion exploded once again! This is official news, more trustworthy than any speculation, more than any other news! "Damn! A 90 percent compliance rate?!" "Does that mean Qin Xunchangs investigation was correct?! Is Lu Xiaobu lying?!" "Bullshit! I tell you, I absolutely dont believe Xiaobu would do such a thing, making jokes about food safety!" "What does your disbelief matter? The fact is right before your eyes!" "Exactly, dont you trust official news?!" "Right, surely official information is more trustworthy than Lu Xiaobu!" "Could Lu Xiaobu be mistaken?! Maybe he encountered that 10 percent?!" "Possible! It could be that!" "A farce?!" "Farce? This cant be brushed off as a farce. This matter is unforgettable; there must be accountability!" "Exactly, Lu Xiaobu, by joking with everyone in the market and especially about food safety, this is really not the end! There must be an explanation!" "..." The publics anger is understandable. You say its fine to joke about other issues, even if being deceived, people wouldnt take it seriously! But food safety is different, especially the safety of snacks widely popular among children and studentsspicy strips. This issue is different! This matter must be taken seriously. Seriously to the ten thousandth degree! Lu Xiaobu looks at the online news, and the corners of his mouth gradually start to curl up! Good! Very good! Chapter 539 - 537: Ten Percent [Fourth Update] Chapter 539: Chapter 537: Ten Percent [Fourth Update]Lu Family. "This is infuriating, Qin Xunchang is completely distorting the truth! Its none of his business, why is he so eager to meddle?!" Wu Qianmin stamped her foot in anger. "No, thats not right." Liang Lan shook her head, a flash of contemplation in her eyes: "Im afraid weve all been deceived. Behind this spicy strip scandal, its probably him." "Even if its not him, its definitely not the acquaintance hes talking about." Su Luoxue continued, analyzing the situation. "So what do we do now? Confront him directly?!" Xiaobus temper was flaring up. "No, that wont do! This matter has the nations attention, and every move of Young Master and him is under scrutiny. I reckon the moment we make a move, itll be exposed and then twisted against us," Liang Lan shook her head. "The key now is to find evidence of the connection between Qin Xunchang and the dubious spicy strip factory! As long as we find evidence, all his claims will crumble on their own!" Su Luoxue tentatively suggested after some thought. She was already getting the hang of the pace. "Why not check those stores? Now that the toxic spicy strips have collectively disappeared, it must have been a big move. Theres got to be some clue left behind," Wu Qianmin also tried to offer an idea. "Its useless, he can come up with ten thousand reasons to explain the recall of the spicy strips. Without decisive evidence, theres no way to tackle him, especially with that official inspection report still out there," Liang Lan shook her head. Everyone sighed in frustration. What were they supposed to do now? "Sister Lan, check that ten percent." Lu Xiaobu casually mentioned while holding his phone and reading a novel. "Ten percent?!" Liang Lan was startled, a bit slow to catch on. "Ten percent?" The three other women were even more puzzled. Not to mention Zhang Meng and Li Jin. "Thats right, that ten percent." Lu Hongbin walked over and said: "Remember what Qin Xunchang said at the press conference? A hundred percent no issues, not a single problematic one." "However, what was the conclusion during the official inspection? Ninety percent! This indicates that some people are not playing ball!" "When did you get so sharp, Xiaobu? I even thought Id come to help you out," Lu Hongbin said, then looked at Lu Xiaobu with a smile. "Psh, you help me? Have you forgotten who is the master of romance?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow and teased. "Oh please, always studying that," Lu Hongbin chuckled and cursed. And at that moment, Liang Lan also caught on. Yes, that ten percent! If this slip-up was deliberately planned by Qin Xunchang, he wouldnt need to create such a big discrepancy. After all, hes currently seen as being on the righteous side. The more accurate his claims, the more it would demonstrate his professionalism and be favorable for his plan! But what happened? A ten percent margin of error surfaced! Money moves the heart! "Ill go check it out right now!" Liang Lan immediately said. "Okay, Li Jin, accompany Sister Lan. Be adaptable and do whats necessary when the time comes!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and arranged. "Yes, Young Master!" Li Jin accepted the order. The two left! Lu Xiaobu opened Weibo: "@QinXunchang, asshole, just you wait, whether or not youre the real mastermind behind this, youre definitely going to eat shit!" Qin Xunchang promptly replied on Weibo: "Please refrain from using such vulgar language! I advocate for food safety and have no intention of making enemies with anyone. If I have infringed upon your interests, I apologize, but I will never allow such things to happen!" The twos online dispute, in such a public spotlight, was quickly reposted! Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, netizens had very different reactions to each of their Weibos. Lu Xiaobus Weibo. "Um, Young Master Bu, shouldnt we be a bit more refined?" "Lu Xiaobu, youre fooling everyone, and now you even dare to spout such madness?!" "Shameless wretch!" "Ahem, Young Master Bu, although I do believe youre not that kind of person, why must you confront Qin Xunchang? Hes just doing his job!" "Yeah, Young Master Bu, I think you really did wrong this time! Everyone is just trying their best to address the food safety issue, why cause trouble!" ... Theres praise and criticism alike, belief and blame, and of course, cursing too! But under Qin Xunchangs Weibo, its like this! "Well said!" "Theres no face-saving when it comes to food safety!" "It has to be this way!" "Truly deserving of being on the Second Level Rich List, he speaks with such substance!" "Thats right!" ... Such unwavering praise! Even the officials of the Rich List have given him a thumbs-up! Look at the contrast, the disparity! Its just so! But! While things are this way online, in the real world, its the complete opposite! The Lu Xiaobu, who gets cursed online, is leisurely eating, reading novels, casually teasing the three ladies, and if he sees people cursing him, he casually throws back a couple of insults! Even when Liang Lan goes out and gets swamped by reporters, she curses right at them: "Scram!" All the reporters dare to be angry but dare not speak. Because its useless, their little tricks are nothing in front of Lu Xiaobu! Even if you curse him a bit, are there few who curse him? Does it make a difference?! No! ... However, Qin Xunchang, who is crazily praised and complimented online, is actually in his own home, panicking like mad! The ashtray is filled with cigarette butts! Lu Xiaobu has noticed that 10 percent, how could he possibly not have? "These disobedient bastards, they all deserve to die! You dont listen to what I say! Ah! Should all be made to eat shit! Dammit!" Qin Xunchang roared in a low voice! He doesnt even dare to speak loudly now. No choice, his villa is now surrounded by reporters carrying all sorts of long and short cameras, constantly wanting to dig up some news from him! Plus, the righteous image hes created for himself means he cant make any out-of-line moves! He doesnt even dare to send someone to check whos disobedient! Because too many forces are involved now, one misstep could lead to doom! All he can do now is to pray that Lu Xiaobu wont notice these things! Yes, thats right, Lu Xiaobu definitely wont notice, because after all, Lu Xiaobu is just a wastrel waiting for his inheritance! Thats how Qin Xunchang consoled himself. ... This is the difference between him and Lu Xiaobu! Lu Xiaobu doesnt need to pretend to be full of righteousness, so he can casually send people out, even Liang Lan dared to curse the reporters herself, telling them to piss off and stop following them around! But what about Qin Xunchang? He doesnt even dare to fart loudly! ... Qin Xunchang keeps consoling himself. But obviously, his self-consolation is ineffective! That same day online, Liang Lan and Li Jin came back! They brought back a camera, two people with bruised noses and swollen faces, and a pile of documents! Chapter 540 - 538: Think You Can Hide?! You’re Too Confident!【Fifth Update】 Chapter 540: Chapter 538: Think You Can Hide?! Youre Too Confident!Fifth Update"Young Master, just as you instructed, weve indeed found out!" Liang Lan placed something in front of Lu Xiaobu: "That Qin Xunchang is really the Black Hand behind the scenes, almost the entire spicy strip black factory is at his beck and call!" "They have an organization, with Qin Xunchang as the boss! Hes in charge of providing protection and money laundering activities!" Back when the market was flooded with shoddy spicy strips, it was difficult to track down due to the overwhelming quantities, but once the number was reduced to ten percent, they were detected in no time! However, finding them is one thing, but Liang Lans feelings were a mixed bag! She was thrilled to finally have a lead, so the Young Master could clear his name! But she was also outraged, for ignorance was bliss but the truth was a shock to the system! So many people, for so many years, consuming spicy strips that were produced in such a place! "Fine, its good that we found it." Lu Xiaobu picked up the documents on the table for a look. The more he looked, the uglier his expression became! They were photos of the small processing plant. The disarray and filth inside were clearly visible. The first photo showed scattered, unpackaged spicy strip pieces piled on a table, with colorful food packaging bags carelessly strewn on the floor. The second photo showed several large machines, which looked to be in operation, covered with red and black grease. The third photo depicted the floor covered with black oily stains, with several yellow plastic bags, white plastic buckets, and blackened iron barrels beside the machines, containing a variety of powders and liquids, with a big scoop in one of the plastic bags. The fourth photo featured a person, a young man with fluffy earmuffs, standing between several machines, fiddling with a mixer-like rectangular machine. Inside the machine were many dark red, glossy spicy strip pieces tumbling about. There was also an orange basket underneath the machine, filled with something dark and murky. Liang Lan continued with a disgusted frown, "Young Master, you have no idea, when we entered, one of the factory chimneys kept spewing out thick black smoke, making the air in the yard very polluted, not only pungent but also filled with a lot of dust." "Once inside the workshop, the stench was unbearable! All sorts of synthetic fragrance odors!" "The work shown in the photos is their norm, talk less of sanitation, they dont even wear gloves or masks!" "I even saw someone dragging the spicy strips on the floor, then directly throwing them into the machines!" "As for their ingredients, a large quantity of artificial flavorings, which is fairly normal! But then there are leather meal, lime, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, gelatin, you name it, theyve got it!" "That barrel in the photo, it might look okay in the picture, but when we were there on site, it really looked like slop water!" "I just dont understand how they can bear to produce with these things, and still sell it! And even to students!" Not only did Liang Lans face turn green as she spoke, but the faces of the three ladies around also turned green in waves, almost throwing up at the sight of the photos! Even Zhang Meng, who was used to surviving in the wilderness, frowned. The wilderness offers scant food options, but at least its edible! But can this stuff really be eaten?! "Bring them up here!" With a snap, Lu Xiaobu flung the photos to the ground, his face grim. "Yes, Li Jin, bring them up!" Liang Lan shouted towards Li Jin outside the door. "Hurry up!" Li Jin pushed two people straight in from the door, even kicking them. Clearly, Li Jin was utterly disgusted with them! "Young Master, the older one is the owner of this small workshop, and the young one is a worker, the same person in the photos!" Liang Lan whispered an explanation. "Hm." Lu Xiaobu nodded, then turned to the older one, "Youre the boss? Whats your name?" The boss looked at Lu Xiaobu timidly: "My name is Ren Yu." "Tell me, whats your relationship with Qin Xunchang?" Lu Xiaobu asked. "I dont know Qin Xunchang." Ren Yu shivered and shook his head as he spoke. Liang Lan spoke softly from the side, "Young Master, this Ren Yus lips are sealed tight. We got the information from other workers." Lu Xiaobu nodded to show he understood, then continued asking, "Do you know who I am?" "You are, Lu Xiaobu." Ren Yu stole a glance at Lu Xiaobu, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look up. "Good, knowing me means your head is still clear." Lu Xiaobu spoke calmly, "I dont like beating around the bush, and I dont like to make empty promises like Qin Xunchang. Ill ask you one thing, now that youre in Shimen, in my place, can Qin Xunchang still protect you?" Lu Xiaobus voice wasnt loud, but each word carried weight. Ren Yus body noticeably shivered, but he still clenched his teeth and said nothing. "Fine, if you wont speak, take him away." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, "Prepare some food for him. Oh, just give him those spicy strips from his factory. And as for drink, the swill from his factory seems just fine!" "Yes, Young Master!" Li Jin nodded earnestly. Thats how you deal with such unscrupulous businessmen! "No! Dont!" Ren Yu heard this and immediately started waving his hands frantically, "Eating too much of that stuff can be poisonous! And that swill is even more undrinkable!" "You damn well know it! Come on, Ill feed it to you myself! Especially that bucket of swill, Ill watch you drink it all!" Upon hearing this, Li Jin was so angry he kicked out with his leg! What kind of person is this! When he eats, he knows its poisonous, but when selling it, suddenly he doesnt know! "No! No! No! Ill talk! Ill talk!" Ren Yu fell to the ground and immediately cried out. He could endure eating the spicy strips, as long as he didnt eat too much, it was bearable! But, that trough of swill, no, the "seasoning", he truly couldnt drink that! It was full of lime, essence, and other stuff that could be lethal! This Lu Xiaobu is too ruthless! To resort to such measures! "Want to talk now? I dont want to listen anymore! Take him away! Eat well, drink well!" Lu Xiaobus mouth curled up with a chilling curve, "Rest assured, it wont be long before Qin Xunchang joins you in eating and drinking. But youre better off; at least you get to eat spicy strips, while hell have to eat shit!" With that, Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, signaling Li Jin to take the man away. "No! I wont drink it! Ill talk! Im talking! Save me! Please, no!" Ren Yus screams echoed over. However, no matter how loudly he screamed, he couldnt break free. "Sister Lan, organize the materials, were about to tear Qin Xunchangs mask off!" Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes, Young Master!" Liang Lan nodded, her eyes blazing with fury! Lu Xiaobus lips grew even colder. Qin Xunchang, I told you youd eat shit, and you cant escape this meal of shit! Rest assured, itll be piping hot! Chapter 541 - 539 Angry Toilet Water [First Update] Chapter 541: Chapter 539 Angry Toilet Water [First Update]"Go ahead, let those heart-wrenching reporters outside report it." Lu Xiaobu said lazily. He grabbed another jerk who cursed him. "Foolish son, why didnt I just shoot you against the wall?! Accusing me of cheating money? How much money do you even have for me to cheat? Hugging a keyboard, you really think youre a hero? Are your skills just qwerty?! I bet you dont even know the skill to teleport back to town, be careful youll die out there! And theres no respawn for that kind!" Lu Xiaobu spat out a tirade! "Okay, Young Master." Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liang Lan replied. ... Under deliberate guidance, the news soon received the information. And, they reported it extensively! "Lu Xiaobu has already found solid evidence, both human and physical evidence" "The malicious snack factory isnt just spouting nonsense" "Evidence directly points to Qin Xunchang" "Shocking reversal, it turns out Qin Xunchang, who flags himself as a justice warrior, is the actual mastermind behind this" "The billions of fortune all come from the malicious snack factory, from the health of the people" "With both human and physical evidence present, what can Qin Xunchang retort?" "..." The news wasnt just in text, but also included the photos Lu Xiaobu released, and of course, that photo of Ren Yu. Although Ren Yu didnt directly confess Qin Xunchang was his boss. But now, it looked like mud smeared on trousers! Netizens went berserk after seeing it, nearly losing their minds! "Holy shit! Is this for real?! Qin Xunchang, who vocally upheld justice, is the boss behind these malicious snack factories?!" "Damn it! That fierce? Earning over a hundred billion just from snacks, unbelievable!" "This world is too crazy! First, its Lu Xiaobu exposing the malicious snacks, then Qin Xunchang steps up to criticize Lu Xiaobu aiming to seize the market, and now youre saying Qin Xunchang is actually the mastermind behind this?!" "Let me catch my breath! I dont even know who to believe anymore!" "Yeah! One minute, they say Lu Xiaobu is the villain, and the next, its Qin Xunchang whos the villain, honestly speaking! Im more inclined to believe Lu Xiaobu is the villain, Qin Xunchang really doesnt seem like the villain type!" "So you mean to say, Young Master Bu seems like a villain?" "Not exactly, I trust Young Master Bus character, but look at his style! Totally looks like a villains style!" ... With these news breaking, society was dumbfounded! The plot twist is too freaking fast! Of course, Qin Xunchang immediately declared, "All of these are pure fabrications, I dont even know that person, this is a blatant frame-up, Lu Xiaobu better prepare to receive a legal letter!" He spoke bravely, but the real Qin Xunchang was about to go insane! He needed to go to the bathroom. Yes, only in the toilet where he wont be the center of attention, wont be targeted by cameras! "Bang!" The toilet door was slammed shut, and the glass trembled violently! "Ah! A bunch of useless idiots!" Qin Xunchang roared at the toilet! "If it wasnt for you idiots, this plan would have been flawless! Even if we couldnt bring down Lu Xiaobu, we could definitely restore normalcy to the snack industry!" "But what about you?! For such petty benefits, you disobeyed and sabotaged everything! Ren Yu! Damn your grandmother!" "Damn it, Lu Xiaobu! Werent you just a wasteful playboy?! Why are you so sharp?! Damn it! If you have such business acumen, why didnt you cooperate with me initially?!" "Fuck! I was originally planning to share the profits fifty-fifty with you!" "Curse the guy next door!" Qin Xunchang kept yelling at the toilet, the toilet water trembling with each roar! The veins on his face were popping, and his muscles were tense! He never thought he would be counter-attacked so quickly! This Lu Xiaobu is too sharp! No! That Ren Yu definitely couldnt withstand Lu Xiaobus interrogation, he must find a solution! He clenched his teeth and paced around in the toilet, but couldnt think of any solution. "Damn! A bunch of deadbeat reporters, always freaking watching me!" Qin Xunchang cursed, then opened the bathroom door and walked out! He couldnt stay too long, otherwise, who knows what stories they might concoct from that! "Click!" The moment he opened the bathroom door, his face returned to normal, even revealing a confident and elegant smile. Of course, that is if you ignore the vengeful and poisonous blood silk visible in his eyes! ... Time slowly passed. During Qin Xunchangs anxious mindset, it finally became evening, and he could draw the curtains openly! "Swoosh!" As he drew up the curtains... Qin Xunchangs face instantly turned unusually gloomy. After thinking through the afternoon, he realized that the only way was to negotiate with Lu Xiaobu! No matter the cost, negotiation was necessary! Because Lu Xiaobu had caught him at his weak spot, if they didnt negotiate, it would be a fight to the death! Based on todays circumstances, with Lu Xiaobus sharp business acumen, he must understand the concept of mutually beneficial cooperation! Well, lets give it a try! "Secretary, come here, call Lu Xiaobu." Qin Xunchang told his secretary. Still need to be cautious. "Hello, who is this?" Lu Xiaobu, who was playing on his phone, picked up the call casually. Secretary: "Young Master Lu, hello, I am Secretary of President Qin..." "Click." Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone directly. The secretary listened to the disconnect tone, completely dumbfounded. "President Qin, he hung up!" "I know!" Qin Xunchang gritted his teeth and said, "Give me the phone." He took the phone, thinking to himself: It seems I have to do it myself. This Lu Xiaobus business mind is indeed sharp, not even paying attention if its not his number! He dialed Lu Xiaobus number again. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off." Qin Xunchang immediately understood, damn switched off, can their phones be switched off casually? Hes been blocked! Damn! Feeling utterly frustrated inside, going out of his way to offer money, asking for peace, and getting jerked around again and again! What the hell is this! Helpless, he could only take out his phone and call Lu Xiaobu himself. Sure enough, it connected. "Young Master Lu, this is Qin Xunchang." Qin Xunchang spoke with a forced smile. Even though he felt like he wanted to crawl through the phone and stab Lu Xiaobu, he had to keep a smile on his face at the moment! Because Lu Xiaobu had him by the throat! Cant even begin to describe this humiliation! "What do you want with your daddy?" Lu Xiaobu directly started cursing! This kind of person should be cursed, and cursing is still putting it mildly! Not just cursing, Lu Xiaobu even wanted to livestream it! While thinking this, he opened Juechen livestream, and then hit the start broadcast button! Come on, lets have some fun! Chapter 542 - 540: Want to Talk? How About Eating a Mouthful of Shit? [2nd Update] Chapter 542: Chapter 540: Want to Talk? How About Eating a Mouthful of Shit? [2nd Update]Lu Xiaobu started a live stream on Juechen Live Platform, and within moments, over ten thousand people swarmed in! You have to know that many streamers broadcast for one or two years, even three to five years and still cant hit the ten-thousand-viewer mark. But heres Lu Xiaobu, a guy who doesnt even stream for months at a time, instantly pulling in over ten thousand viewers. The gap is glaringly obvious. Of course, there are several reasons for this. One is because Juechen Live Platform has been growing bigger and bigger, and with its recent exclusive broadcasting rights for the LOL event, Juechens daily traffic is terrifying. Secondly, its because of Lu Xiaobu himself! Lu Xiaobus fame and the attention this event has attracted. Not only the audience came over, but many streamers also came to ride on his coattails! This is their boss were talking about; if not now, then when would they suck up to him? So. "Qin Ce sends out ten treasure maps!" "Li Ying sends out ten excavators!" "Fenger sends out one treasure map!" "Zhang Tianba sends out one treasure map!" "..." Treasure maps, which are seldom seen in other live rooms, caused a barrage here! The audience is buzzing with all sorts of comments. "Good evening, Young Master Bu!" "Young Master Bu, its been a long time since your last live stream!" "Lu Xiaobu, you asshole!" En, Feiyu has been banned for 999 years! "Young Master Bu, explain the recent spicy strip incident!" "Explain my ass! Young Master Bu would never do such a thing!" "Thats right, Young Master Bu, lets play LOL!" "Indeed! Young Master Bu, why dont you commentate a match!" "Lu Xiaobu, youre utterly heartless, and you still dare to livestream?!" En, Zhang Li has been banned for 999 years! ... Continuous bans were being handed out in the live room. But Lu Xiaobu didnt pay them any mind, continuing his phone call with Qin Xunchang. On the phone, Qin Xunchang, irritated by Lu Xiaobus rude reprimands, said with teeth itching with anger, "Young Master Lu, can we not make a scene?! I want to talk business with you!" "What business? I, Lu Xiaobu, am at irreconcilable odds with you, Qin Xunchang, whats there to talk about?! Unless youre willing to eat shit!" With a corner of his mouth twitching into a smirk, Lu Xiaobu turned on the speakerphone and placed it in front of the camera! At that moment, after hearing Lu Xiaobu speak, the live room fell into a brief silence. Everyone was dumbstruck! Then! The next second, the chat exploded! "Holy shit! Young Master Bus conversation with Qin Xunchang?!" "Damn, bro! Arent these two in the middle of a serious battle? Why are they now on the phone?!" "Theres a scandal, er, no! Theres insider info!" "And from the sound of it, it seems like it was Qin Xunchang who called Young Master Bu, this is getting interesting!" "Yeah, wasnt Qin Xunchang supposed to send Young Master Bu a lawyers letter? Why is he calling now?!" "What are you anxious about! Lets be reasonable, the other party didnt confirm its definitely President Qin, what if Lu Xiaobu is just faking it to fool everyone!" Fu Tian has been banned for 999 years! Lu Xiaobu let out a cold laugh. Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Talk about reason?! Dont lecture me on reason, this is my livestream, love it or leave it, dont f***ing spout nonsense opinions! Keep your opinions to yourself! Someone said, "Lu Xiaobu, on what grounds do you forbid people from expressing their opinions? Can you only tolerate praises and not criticisms?!" Exactly! Thats right, they can only praise me, not curse me! What are you gonna do about it! On the phone. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Qin Xunchang cracked a slight smile; as long as the insults are not constant, theres room for negotiation: "Young Master Lu, you shouldnt speak like that. Theres a saying, There are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests. Dont you want to break into the spicy strip industry? Sure! Lets all get rich together, what do you say?!" "I dont have the shameless talent you have to make blood money without blushing or skipping a beat. Seriously, arent you afraid of birthing a son without an anus?!" Lu Xiaobu was still seething with anger over this! "Young Master Lu, are you joking? Do you actually believe that?" Qin Xunchang sneered, "Not to mention my son is perfectly healthy right now, but even if he really had some illness or something, whats there to fear with money?" "Yeah, well said. Zhang Meng, go find this bastards son and make him taste the spicy strips he produces." As Lu Xiaobu listened to Qin Xunchangs words, his gaze grew even colder. And in the livestream, the viewers were also stunned. "Is that really Qin Xunchang?!" "Definitely! Ive heard his voice before, its 100% him!" "I recognized it too! But I still cant believe it!" "Yeah, Qin Xunchang who sounded so righteous and dignified at the press conference is actually such a person!" "Hey, you guys are focusing on the wrong thing! Shouldnt your focus be on the fact that everything Young Master Bu said is true! This Qin Xunchang is the damn Black Hand behind the curtain, a son of a bitch!" "That cant be rightI dont believe Mr. Qin would do such a thing; it must be a fake recording made by Lu Xiaobu!" Six Paths Messenger has been banned for 999 years! And now, as Lu Xiaobus livestream went on, the number of viewers was skyrocketing rapidly! Fifty thousand, a hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, a million! Moreover, netizens were hurrying to other social media platforms to spread the word. "Hurry up, go to the Juechen Live Platform, Lu Xiaobu is livestreaming his conversation with Qin Xunchang right now!" "A shocking secret! Turns out Qin Xunchang really is the Black Hand behind the scenes!" "Be quick to catch it, be too slow and youll miss out!" "..." The more it was publicized, the more viewers there were, and the more viewers there were, the more intense the publicity! The number of viewers in the livestream continued to surge! One million, five million! Finally, it broke through the ten million mark! You have to understand that the Juechen Live Platform counts only real viewers, no fake popularity whatsoever, meaning these ten million are actually ten million real people! They were all listening to the conversation between Lu Xiaobu and Qin Xunchang! But at this moment, Qin Xunchang had no idea what was happening. He was still preparing to negotiate with Lu Xiaobu. Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, he immediately became enraged: "Lu Xiaobu, dont go too far, both of us know that shit is inedible! Like you, would you eat it?! If you dare to touch my son, itll be an all-out war between us!" "F*** your grandfather! You know its inedible yet you still produce it?! Is your son the only real son, and everyone elses son is a damned idiot?!" Lu Xiaobu swore foully: "Also, I damn well did eat it!" Such people are really the epitome of shamelessness! Actually producing it while saying its inedible! Inedible and yet you still produce, you still sell!? And even selling yourself onto the Second Level Rich List?! But then again, if he werent so shameless, how could he have had a press conference before, furiously denouncing Lu Xiaobu! Looking at the ten million viewers in the livestream at this moment. Theyre really fuming with rage! Chapter 543 - 541: Crushed to Death [3rd Update for Chapter 543: Chapter 541: Crushed to Death [3rd Update for "One Life, One Incarnation, One Couple" Bonus]Listening to Qin Xunchangs shameless words, the whole live broadcast room was in an uproar! "Fuck your mother, Qin Xunchang, I actually believed you! Youre actually such a person!" "Damn your mother! Claiming to be a luminary in the snack industry, but doing these shady dealings behind the scenes!" "Fuck your mother for selling out! Damn your grandmother! Im gonna fucking kill you!" "Son of a bitch! Your son is a son, but our sons are fucking animals, right?!" "Thinking money can let you do whatever you want?! And even cure diseases?! Ill kill him and see if your money can bring him back to life! By the way, Im not talking about Young Master Bu!" "Let me tell you, dumbass, were sworn enemies now. Im right around you, so if you dare, dont come out. If you do, Ill beat you every single time!" "Man has bodyguards, huh!" "Whats there to fear! Im an ex-soldier! And Ive got a whole bunch of ex-military brothers!" "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" "..." The entire live broadcast room was filled with all sorts of foul language and cursing! Honestly, if it werent for the fact that the live broadcast room only allowed for text comments, they would have preferred to voice their insults! Now these ten million viewers understood! It turned out that the seemingly righteous Qin Xunchang was the real son of a bitch! And it was Young Master Bu, appearing wayward and unrestrained, who was the real good guy! They had been deceived! Completely deceived! Every persons heart was filled with towering rage! Even those who had believed in Lu Xiaobu from the beginning were now equally infuriated by Qin Xunchangs words! They didnt even feel like mocking those who didnt believe in Lu Xiaobu any longer! Right now, what they wanted to do was curse this son of a bitch to death! The live broadcasts video quickly spread and more and more people learned about it! More and more people poured into the live broadcast room! The number of viewers in the live broadcast room surged again! Ten million, twenty million, thirty million! Scared, the staff at Juechen Company hurriedly started maintenance. This was a big deal and they couldnt afford any problems! ... And at this moment. In Qin Xunchangs home. Qin Xunchang was still on the phone: "So you see, Young Master Lu, lets keep this strictly business. Why bring up other things? We could make a fortune together, how great is that?!" "President Qin! President Qin!" But at this moment, his secretary, pale-faced and shivering, nudged Qin Xunchang. "Whats wrong? Cant you see Im on a call?" Qin Xunchang said impatiently. He was still very happy in his heart. Why, you ask? Because his earlier judgment was correct, Lu Xiaobu really did have business acumen and seemed willing to cooperate with him. And why do you think that is? Think about it, given Lu Xiaobus temperament, if he didnt want to cooperate, then why hadnt he hung up the phone for so long?! It was because... Well, before he could finish explaining, his secretary gave him the answer: "President Qin, Lu Xiaobu live streamed your conversation! Now the viewing number has reached over thirty million and its still growing, your conversations video is all over the internet!" "What!" Qin Xunchang jumped to his feet! The phone in his hand was smashed to the ground! His call with Lu Xiaobu was live-streamed!? Those words he said earlier, were heard by tens of millions of people?! And there were videos recorded?! "Crack! Crack!" Qin Xunchangs mind was struck by flashes of lightning! His brain went completely blank! At this moment, the first reaction in his mind was not fear or how to make amends. But another thought! Was Lu Xiaobu insane?! Initially, when he thought Lu Xiaobu had a business mind, he was thrown out by Lu Xiaobu! Later, when he believed Lu Xiaobu didnt have a business mind and was just a naive youngster, his mistake was precisely captured, thus seizing his lifeline! Finally, when he officially confirmed that Lu Xiaobu indeed had a business mind, Lu Xiaobu broadcasted their phone call live! What the! What! Is this Lu Xiaobu really not crazy?! How can there be no pattern or routine at all?! Just making it up as he goes along?! Really not mentally ill!? "President Qin, what are we going to do?!" The secretarys voice, full of fear, interrupted Qin Xunchangs thoughts. Thats right, nows not the time to be thinking about this! An anxious and fearful expression appeared on his face! What to do! What to do! Surely a lot of people already know about this. If the officials find out about this, at the very least my ranking on the Rich List will definitely be wiped out! Even my assets could be confiscated! And worse, I could be sentenced to prison! Damn it, Lu Xiaobu, youre not leaving me any way out! Qin Xunchangs face gradually contorted with ferocity! Damn it! Damn it! Lu Xiaobu, youre ruthless! Well then, dont blame me for a fight to the bitter end! ... At this moment, the internet had exploded! "So it is! So it is! Lu Xiaobu is the righteous one! My faith was not misplaced!" "Damn it! Ive been fooled by this Qin Xunchang!" "Cao! We cant just let this matter slide! Report him! Thats right! Report him!" "How could such a person get on the Second Level Rich List?! Disgusting!" "Officials of the Rich List, can you increase the scrutiny?! With this kind of person becoming a member, how can you maintain the authority of the Rich List!?" "We must not only remove from the Rich List, but also prosecute! Prosecute!" "..." Soon, this matter alarmed the relevant authorities! They immediately began an investigation! Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was no small matter; one couldnt just listen to one sides story, evidence was a must! And just when they were preparing to investigate the truth of the matter! Qin Xunchang took the initiative to step forward! "I saw the video on the internet, thats supposed to be a conversation between me and Lu Xiaobu, right? Even if I say its not, you wouldnt believe me!" "So how about this, I agree to an investigation! And I request that my ranking on the Rich List be temporarily removed, my account frozen! Until the investigation is complete, how does that sound?!" "I wont run away! I will give everyone an explanation for this matter!" Qin Xunchang is all in! Retreating as a strategy, seeking life by courting death! You want to remove my ranking from the Rich List? You want to confiscate my assets, right? You want to investigate me, right?! Im voluntarily cooperating! Not just cooperating, but Im also proactively letting you remove, letting you freeze, letting you investigate! But since Ive cooperated so much, you should give me some face, right?! For example, not restricting my personal liberty? Not restricting my freedom to communicate?! As long as I have these two conditions, theres still a chance for me! Thinking of this, Qin Xunchangs eyes showed a savage gleam! This opportunity is not one for turning the tables, but for revenge! Lu Xiaobu, I might be doomed, but dont think youll get off easy! Come on! Lets have a showdown to the death! Chapter 544 - 542: Willingly Eating [4th Update for Tea Lover Yu Chuan] Chapter 544: Chapter 542: Willingly Eating [4th Update for Tea Lover Yu Chuan]Due to the seriousness of the matter, it happened that night. The officials of the Rich List announced first: "Qin Xunchangs ranking on the Rich List is temporarily removed, and his assets are frozen!" Upon hearing this news, there was an immediate uproar from the outside world! "Good! Well done! Such scum deserves this!" "Support! Hope the Rich List wont have such scum in the future!" "Yes, we often buy things based on the face value of the Rich List, if your credibility decreases! Then we will lose trust in you!" "Dont let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch!" "Lu Xiaobu is still awesome! Just being the first on the Third Level Rich List with a fortune of ten billion, he managed to take down Qin Xunchang from the Second Level Rich List, who is worth half more than him!" "Lu Xiaobu is so terrifying!" "..." The mainstream opinions were just these two kinds! One is that they feel relieved, let out a sigh of evil, making them feel comfortable all over! And the second kind, is in awe of Lu Xiaobus power! After all, there is still a certain gap between Lu Xiaobu and Qin Xunchang! S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Qin Xunchang has been stable for so many years, he must have his methods, yet he fell into the hands of Lu Xiaobu! So, do you think Lu Xiaobu is terrifying or not! Of course, besides the mainstream voices above, there is also a last faint voice. "Qin Xunchang had such a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, I think it wasnt him!" "Yes, you must have all wronged President Qin!" "If I were President Qin and had really done something bad, I would definitely have run away, why wait till now?!" "I also have this suspicion, is it a trap set by Lu Xiaobu?!" "I still think Lu Xiaobu is the bad guy!" "..." As Qin Xunchang had anticipated, his cooperation helped reduce some of the public condemnation against him. Some netizens who were unwilling to accept the strikes turned their guns towards Lu Xiaobu again. As the saying goes, its easy to change rivers and mountains but hard to alter ones nature, changing peoples views is not that easy. This feeling is like a red-eyed gambler, just give him a bit of psychological suggestion, and he will feel he can definitely win the next round! The words of Qin Xunchang were that psychological suggestion to those gamblers who originally supported him, making them choose to support Qin Xunchang once again. And this support also allowed Qin Xunchang to achieve his goal, which was not being restricted in personal freedom and communication freedom. However, he did not immediately take action, but quietly lay dormant, like a venomous snake, waiting for the moment to strike fatally. Then! The next day! He, the venomous snake, was caught by Lu Xiaobu! "Bang!" Zhang Meng kicked open Qin Xunchangs room door. "What are you trying to do?!" Qin Xunchang was startled upon seeing Lu Xiaobu. How did Lu Xiaobu come here?! Isnt he afraid of being photographed by reporters? Lu Xiaobu didnt answer his question at all, and walked straight towards Qin Xunchang. At this moment, his face bore a cruel smile: "Kid, I told you I would make you eat shit!" "Dont move!" Qin Xunchang was scared out of his wits. The two bodyguards behind Lu Xiaobu were famous in the business world for their strength. He didnt dare to provoke them. "Tsk!" Lu Xiaobu scoffed and continued to advance. "If you move again, Ill draw the curtains!" Qin Xunchang stood in front of the tightly closed curtains and said, "The outside is full of reporters, youll be doomed if they get a shot of you!" He had nothing left, naturally, he didnt care about the reporters opinions about him anymore, so he pulled up all the curtains. He originally wanted to be a sneaky venomous snake, but instead, he encountered a Mellivora Capensis specialized in eating snakes! Right, do you guys know what Mellivora Capensis is?! Mellivora Capensis, scientific name: Honey Badger! It holds a Guinness World Recordthe worlds most fearless animal! Listen to this record, sky-high cool! Motto: "Bro is not fighting, hes on his way to fight, and never leaves a score unsettled!" This animal looks cute on the surface, but it will attack almost everything. Moreover, its also smart enough to know its enemys weakness. For example, when facing a man, it would attack his... um, nuts. Mellivora Capensis is deemed as the boss of the animal kingdom! Because the Mellivora Capensis is paranoid and irritable. This temperament directly leads to not holding grudges, because it seeks revenge immediately! A documentary once explained: This honey badger was digging under a wire fence, then went to the other side of the fence to fight a lion! The reason for the fight was that the lion on the other side glanced at it... The skin of the honey badger is tough and impervious to bites... with extraordinarily strong defense capabilities, extremely agile and fierce. Mainly, its fearless. It is naturally fierce, murderous, ruthless, persistent, and wild. Treats venomous snakes as snacks, drinks venom like liquor! Yeah, this creature has detoxifying abilities! Many honey badgers overdose, pass out from poisoning, take a nap, wake up, and continue munching on venomous snakes! Even if it passes out, it still holds onto the snake, too obsessive. Let me give another example. Facing killer bees, soloing lions, trapping venomous snakes, ganging up on African wild dogs, confronting porcupines, hunting small crocodiles, keeping scorpions as pets... These are all daily routines for Mellivora Capensis! Got carried away, back to the main topic. How similar Mellivora Capensis and Lu Xiaobu are! Qin Xunchang, this venomous snake, previously poisoned Lu Xiaobu, this honey badger, and Lu Xiaobu just took a nap, woke up, and continued to confront him! And directly went to confront him! "No need, no need for you to pull!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: "Zhang Meng, go pull the curtains!" "Yes!" Zhang Meng responded. Then, under the stunned expression of Qin Xunchang, Zhang Meng opened all the curtains! Suddenly, sunlight shone directly into the room, making the room brighten up! "Click! Click! Click!" A burst of flash sounds came, and the reporters surrounding Qin Xunchangs house immediately began frantically taking pictures. And under Qin Xunchangs astonished gaze, Lu Xiaobu didnt dodge or hide, he even struck a pose! Has Lu Xiaobu gone mad? The public opinion hasnt died down yet, in fact, its getting more and more intense! Being photographed with Lu Xiaobu in his home, what does he want to stir up?! "Find it strange?" Lu Xiaobu sat on Qin Xunchangs sofa, Liang Lan picked the most expensive bottle of wine from Qin Xunchangs liquor cabinet, opened it with a pop under Qins pained gaze, and poured it for Lu Xiaobu. Lu Xiaobu took a sip, smacked his lips, a curve forming on his lips: "Because, Im going to make you eat shit! Yeah, your own shit!" Thats Lu Xiaobus goal! Forcibly feeding shit makes no sense, it would also make the feeder feel disgusted! So, Lu Xiaobu decided to make Qin Xunchang eat by himself! Cheerfully drinking by himself! Chapter 545 - 543 Laxatives [5th update for the neighbor, Lao Hei] Chapter 545: Chapter 543 Laxatives [5th update for the neighbor, Lao Hei]Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Qin Xunchangs brain was filled with metaphorical black lines! Has this buzz-cut bro been eating venomous snakes and become demented? Even wants him to eat shit, and his own at that! What normal person would do such a thing!? And then! He heard Lu Xiaobu say leisurely, "Youd better think carefully, arent you trying to get revenge? Dont you want a counter-attack from rock bottom? If you dont eat it today, I will pinch you to death!" When Lu Xiaobu said the last three words, his eyes suddenly became sharp! Those three words were like a storm composed of steel knives, sweeping towards Qin Xunchang! Shredding his confidence to tatters in an instant! "You cant do it!" Qin Xunchang clenched his teeth stubbornly, "Investigations take time, and I am protected during this period! No one can interfere with the investigation process!" "Is that so?" Lu Xiaobus mouth curled into a slight smile. Then he took out his phone, dialed Lin Fengs number, and put it on speakerphone, throwing it onto the table. "Hello? Lu Xiaobu, what are you going to do?" Lin Fengs voice, tinged with wariness, filled the whole room. When on a call with this Lu Xiaobu, you have to be on your guard, or else you might fall into a trap. "Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you, the big young master of the Lin Family, one of Imperials four young masters, if you still remember that you owe me a favor!" Lu Xiaobu said with his legs crossed, bouncing them up and down! "I remember! Can you freaking stop bringing this up every day? So I knelt on the ground and smoked a cigar, youve been talking about it for almost a year! If you want to cash in on the favor, just say so!" Lin Feng was getting pissed off just hearing about it! This Lu Xiaobu, sly as he is, always avoiding stating the favor directly, and then using this favor to derive various advantages... Wait! Advantage?! Derivation?! "Lu! Xiaobu!" Lin Fengs voice dropped: "Are you freaking at that bastard Qin Xunchangs home?!" He figured it out! Damn, hed been used again! "What? What did you say?! Hello, hello, hello! The signals bad here! Beep, beep, beep!" Lu Xiaobu picked up and hung up the phone. Lin Fengs last roaring words came from the phone, "Lu Xiaobu! Damn you! Youre just playing dirty! How many times have you used that one favor..." Lin Fengs words hadnt finished, and Lu Xiaobu hung up the call. Well, Lu Xiaobu wasnt the least bit embarrassed and looked very calm. This is why they say its always better to keep a favor than use it! You can always pull it out and use it again! This is a point of knowledge, remember! Lu Xiaobu raised his head to look at Qin Xunchang. "Do you know who I was just on the phone with?" "Gulp!" Qin Xunchang swallowed saliva! Then he slowly nodded recognizingly: "I know! Imperials one of the four young masters, the big young master of the Lin Family, Lin Feng!" There was a bitter taste in his mouth! "Can he interfere with the investigation?" Lu Xiaobu asked again. "Can! Do!" The bitterness in Qin Xunchangs mouth started to flow into his heart! "Does he still owe me a favor?!" Lu Xiaobu asked leisurely. "Yes!" Qin Xunchang felt the bitterness spreading through his entire body! Thats one of Imperials four young masters! Lu Xiaobu actually knows such a person, and judging by their joke-cracking manner, theyre on quite good terms! And he was foolish enough to confront Lu Xiaobu!? If Lu Xiaobu had directly ordered Lin Feng to take him out before, he probably wouldnt even have the chance to jump about! Thinking this, his body softened, and he slowly slid down against the wall, sitting on the ground with a face full of despair! Revenge?! A life-for-a-life struggle?! He might as well be dreaming! Just dealing with Lu Xiaobu was already enough to claim his life, let alone adding a Lin Feng to the mix?! Its just like what Lu Xiaobu saidhe will be crushed to death! "Made up your mind yet?" Lu Xiaobu spoke after taking a sip of alcohol. "Whats there to think about? Theres nothing to consider. I wont eat it, nor will I resist anymore. I cant win anyway!" Qin Xunchang said with utter hopelessness. At this moment, he was like a dead man. It wasnt that he had lost the will to fight, but that the gap was too huge! He was a venomous snake, not the fear-nothing, daredevil punk! Facing a behemoth like Lin Feng, he truly had no courage. "Its okay, give me an answer in one minute." Lu Xiaobu said leisurely. Since he came here, it was to make Qin Xunchang willingly eat this shit! Not eat it?! What a joke! "One minute it is. My choice wont change." Qin Xunchang said listlessly. His life from now on was getting ready for prison! However. The moment his words fell, Qin Xunchangs phone rang. Qin Xunchang took out his phone to see, and it was an unknown number. This made him pause, then he subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaobu. "Answer it, its Lin Fengs call." Lu Xiaobu stated confidently. It was definitely him, a hundred thousand percent! S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Huh!?" Qin Xunchang, hearing Lu Xiaobus words, suddenly had his pupils shrink?! Lin Fengs call?! What does that mean?! Lin Feng is calling him?! Regardless of whether it was true or not, he didnt dare to take it lightly and hurriedly answered the call! Sure enough, Lin Fengs voice came through Qin Xunchangs phone! "Hello, this is Lin Feng." When Qin Xunchang heard this voice that he had just heard, he instantly perked up, quickly stood up from the corner, nodding and bowing as he said: "Young Master Lin, hello, this is Qin Xunchang." He was extremely shocked in his heart; it was actually Lin Fengs call, just as Lu Xiaobu had said. Only, compared to the voice that had just spoken with Lu Xiaobu, there was an additional bit of iciness, as well as an air of superiority! If it hadnt been for the fact that the voice was indeed the same person, Qin Xunchang would definitely think it was two different people! With just that sentence, he understood just how good Lu Xiaobus relationship with Lin Feng really was! All at once, his desire for revenge became even more suppressed! "I know its you, Qin Xunchang, the scum!" Lin Fengs unceremonious voice came through: "Shut up and listen to me!" This remark made Qin Xunchangs face turn awkward, but he didnt dare to express his anger! He could only obediently bow his head and listen. "Whatever conditions Lu Xiaobu gives you, accept them, then take your revenge on him! I wont take action! If you succeed in getting revenge, making Lu Xiaobu lose, I will help you figure out a way out of your problems, even letting you make a comeback!" Lin Feng made his point crystal clear! Lu Xiaobu understood him, and he also understood Lu Xiaobu! However, since Lu Xiaobu had used him, then he also had to give Lu Xiaobu some trouble to deal with! This is whats called reciprocity! "Huh?!" Qin Xunchang was immediately stunned, completely baffled! Arent Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng good friends?! Why is Lin Feng now asking him to go against Lu Xiaobu?! And even saying that if he wins, Lin Feng would help him make a comeback?! Whats going on with the world?! Was he not keeping up with the times?! While Lin Feng was on the phone with Qin Xunchang, Lu Xiaobu made a sign to Li Jin. Li Jin immediately took out a box of medicine and placed it on the table. The name of this medicine waslaxative! Chapter 546 - 544: Do You Want a Spoon? [First Update] Chapter 546: Chapter 544: Do You Want a Spoon? [First Update]Lin Fengs voice sank upon hearing Qin Xunchangs questioning words! "Whats with all the nonsense?! Would I, Lin Feng, deceive people?! If you dont agree, I wont wait for Lu Xiaobu to make a move, Ill just kill you directly!" He had no patience for Qin Xunchang. "Agree, agree, agree!" Qin Xunchang shuddered in fear upon hearing this voice filled with murderous intent. He had no choice but to agree. Between the options of Lin Feng helping him rise again and of Lin Feng joining Lu Xiaobu to kill him, even a fool would know which to choose! "Good." Lin Feng hung up the phone directly. Qin Xunchang was actually still a bit stunned. The relationship between Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu baffled him, what exactly was their relationship?! Why did it seem that Lin Feng was overjoyed whenever he had a confrontation with Lu Xiaobu?! He couldnt figure it out, not at all! Liang Lan and Zhang Meng watched Qin Xunchangs puzzled expression from behind Lu Xiaobu, and sneered. Youre trying to understand the relationship between Young Master Bu and Lin Feng?! They had been following Young Master Bu for so long, and still couldnt tell when Lin Feng and Young Master Bu would fight or cooperate. And you, an outsider, trying to ponder over this centurys greatest puzzle?! Better go wash up and get some sleep! "Stop dawdling." Lu Xiaobu lifted his foot and kicked the laxative on the table out: "Young Master, Ive prepared the medicine for you, hurry up!" As the laxative slid in front of him, a feeling of humiliation unconsciously appeared on Qin Xunchangs face! He couldnt believe that he, a person on the Second Level Rich List, had fallen to this state, about to proactively eat shit?!!! Damn it, this feels even more humiliating than being under someones crotch! If Han Xin were here, he would probably choose to fight to the death! But he had to endure! He, had to eat! Qin Xunchangs face was pale, and his hand trembled violently as he picked up the laxative. But his gaze involuntarily glanced at Lu Xiaobu. It was filled with extreme resentment, extreme hatred, extreme humiliation! This humiliation and anger were much more than what Fang Yunlong and others had felt before; even Han Meng, who was forced into cross-dressing, couldnt compare! After all, being able to have a poisonous snake that hid in the shadows for many years now openly glare at his enemy showed the extent of his anger, beyond what words could describe! However, no matter how angry, humiliated, or resentful he was, He still had to obediently pick up the laxative and swallow it! Because he was facing "Brother Flat-head"! "Gulp!" Qin Xunchang downed the laxative in hand! The laxative prepared by Lu Xiaobu, how could it be just an ordinary one?! It was an extremely effective drug! It took effect in three seconds! So! "Gurgle!" Qin Xunchangs stomach quickly began to churn! He immediately rushed back to the bathroom like an arrow! "Pfff!" "Splash!" "Pitter-patter!" "Pfft!" No need for specific descriptions of what happened in the toilet; you can imagine just by listening to the sounds. "Do you want a spoon?" Lu Xiaobu said mockingly. "No need!" Qin Xunchangs voice came through gritted teeth! It was unclear whether it was because of the stomach pain or because of what was about to happen! Holding on to the thought that an early death means an early reincarnation, Qin Xunchang no longer hesitated. He started! As usual, no specific descriptions will be provided. To save you from feeling sick. However, the sounds heard from Lu Xiaobus end went like this. "Ah!" That was Qin Xunchang mustering his courage! "Ugh!" That was the first wave of vomiting before starting! "Ah!" That was the agonized roar after consumption! "Ugh!" This is the second wave of vomiting sounds after entering! "" "Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Then its a triple volley of vomiting! Listening to these revolting sounds, Lu Xiaobus mouth twitched. I said eat shit, so you better damn well eat that shit! Do you really think Im just bluffing?! Although its a bit sickening. So, Lu Xiaobu stood up and left, leaving only sounds of ah and ugh echoing continuously in Qin Xunchangs house. After a while. Qin Xunchang crawled out of the bathroom, his mouth edged with yellowish substance and various other vomits! At this moment, his whole face was ashen! His body shivering non-stop, stomach churning endlessly, puking and having diarrhea, wanting to vomit above and having to shit below first! This is not only the effect of the drugs, its the effect of the psyche too! He, as a person, is truly filthy to the extreme now. S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Not just morally dirty from making blood money. But also internally filthy, filled with shit and vomit! Of course, his bodily exterior inevitably got smeared with these things too! He lay on the ground, seeing his empty home, aware that Lu Xiaobu had left! Suddenly, tears of humiliation started streaming from his eyes! He violently pounded on the floor... "Boom! Boom! Boom!" While simultaneously letting out roaring cries! "Ah! Ah! Ah!" This is the greatest humiliation in his life! If this vengeance isnt avenged, he swears hes not human! "Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" Hmm, the fury in his heart couldnt suppress the urge to vomit either. ... Lu Xiaobu walked out of Qin Xunchangs house, feeling pretty good. You little shit made me eat those shit-like spicy strips, so now I made you eat actual shit! The reporters quickly surrounded him at the entrance of Qin Xunchangs place. Reporter: "President Lu, could you please comment on why you met with Qin Xunchang so publicly? Is it to showcase the winners pose?" Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Right!" Reporter with a puzzled face: "Uh..." You have to be that blunt? Another reporter: "President Lu, some say that you targeted Qin Xunchang due to personal grudges, is that correct?" Lu Xiaobu nodded again: "Correct!" Reporter: "..." "Pfft!" Felt like a knife to the chest! The reporters looked at each other, not knowing what to ask nextthose usually quick-witted creatures. How are we supposed to ask now? The man himself told you, its for personal grudges, hes just here to strut! Are you dumb to keep asking?! Finally, a reporter thought for a moment and asked a question from a different angle: "So, Young Master Lu, do you have any comments regarding the upcoming LOL Global Championship?" Lu Xiaobu: "Those Koreans are assholes!" "Pfft!" The reporters nearly spit out blood for three kilometers. What the hell kind of response is that?! You can say that, but we cant report it, can we?! What now? The founder of LOL publicly calling Koreans assholes?! Come on, then, tell me how Im supposed to write this piece of news?! Forget it, forget it! No more interviews, their little tricks are utterly useless against Lu Xiaobu. Typically, he would just tell them to piss off straight away! "By the way, Im in a good mood today, so everyone gets five grand to play with!" Lu Xiaobu said grandiosely with a wave of his hand. "Thanks, Young Master Bu! Young Master Bu, may you reign over the world of Jianghu for ten thousand years!" The reporters were immediately overjoyed. Another five grand earned. Sweet! Liang Lan wasnt thinking about these things but something else. The more she thought about it, the brighter the glint of gold in her eyes. Young Master really made a fortune this time! Chapter 547 - 545 Luxury Spicy Strips [Second Update] Chapter 547: Chapter 545 Luxury Spicy Strips [Second Update]Liang Lan was calculating in her heart. The current spicy strip market is in an extremely empty state. And with something like spicy strips, if its been gone for a long time, you wont think about it. But if its just run out, youll have an immense craving for it. Therefore, the current spicy strip market is like a hungry child, waiting for the injection of new products. And where are the new products?! At Lu Group! New products are being prepared! ... Back to Shimen. Liang Lan then set aside all other matters, focusing all her energy on spicy strips, producing them quickly and ensuring quality and quantity to seize the spicy strip market. She believes she is definitely not the only one who sees the huge potential of this market, so speed is essential! Of course, producing a batch for Young Master to taste first is a must! Everything else has to wait! ... One week later! Lu Groups spicy strips quickly entered the market! "Have you heard? Xiaobus spicy strips have been produced!" "Really?! Thats great, Ive been craving them so badly these past few days!" "Yeah! I want to eat them too, lets go buy a pack!" "Speaking of which, theres no problem with these spicy strips, right?" "No problem! I trust Young Master Bu!" "Exactly, who do you think Young Master Bu is! He wouldnt mess this up!" "I got it tested immediately, and the results are out!" "What is it?! How much?! Does it meet the standards?!" "Standards?! Youre asking the wrong question." "What do you mean?!" "Because with Lu Groups spicy strips, the coliform bacteria, total bacteria count, and so on, all the results are zero! Theres absolutely nothing! Absolutely 100% healthy spicy strips!" "No way! Awesome! Just as expected from Young Master Bu, the embodiment of conscience! Enough said, Im buying a pack!" "..." Numerous people began flocking to major supermarkets, having a lot of trust in Xiaobu! And with the test results to boot, everyones interest slowly grew! They wanted to taste these conscientious spicy strips and see how they are. However, many people were stunned after arriving at the supermarket! While the product is available and there are many varieties, the price... "How come its so expensive!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yeah! I saw the cheapest one is two fifty! The most expensive ones are even five yuan! Werent the previous spicy strips only up to one yuan at most?" "Xiaobu, isnt this a bit too much! Who sells such expensive spicy strips?!" "Exactly! This price, it feels like a rip-off! Your Lao Ganma is five yuan a bottle, but now a pack of spicy strips is also five yuan?!" "This price is really expensive!" "..." The general public raised doubts about the pricing of spicy strips. A minimum of two fifty? And spicy strips costing up to five yuan?! You should know that the previous spicy strips were generally five jiao, at most only one yuan! This was a five-fold increase! Its not that everyone cant afford it, but the psychological gap is too severe! Looking at the same product, not only did you double the price, you increased it five-fold?! The price of five packs before can now only get you one pack? Now, wanting to eat five packs costs over ten, even up to twenty yuan?! "Forget it, Ill just try it first!" "Right, its just a few extra yuan, lets buy a pack!" "Yes! Lets try, lets try!" "..." With the mindset of trying something new, everyone bought one or two packs to take home and eat! "Hmm, the taste is good, just like before." "Clean, hygienic, and delicious spicy strips, thumbs up! However, I still find the price a bit unacceptable." "Yes, what was once just a snack has now become a luxury item!" "This isnt good, Young Master Bu, why dont we lower the price? The money for a pack of spicy strips is enough for a meal!" "Exactly, exactly! Strongly request a price reduction!" "..." Remember the phrase we often talk about?! Its called, everyone hustles for their own benefit! When it doesnt concern their interests, they act as they wish, but once their own interests are involved, their attitude changes immediately, even by a complete turnaround! Just like now, they dont consider that reducing poor-quality flavors and refining the craftsmanship of Lu Groups spicy strips have costs! All they know is that theyve paid too much! So, the image of Lu Xiaobu, once hailed as a hero, is now greatly diminished in their hearts! This is why some people think there are so many flip-floppers in this world! ... At Qin Xunchangs home. Qin Xunchang sits on the couch, with his eyes slightly closed. He has barely eaten anything this week, vomiting everything he eats! He brushed his teeth hundreds of times, but still feels a taste in his mouth! "Opportunity!" Qin Xunchang slowly opens his eyes, reflecting a gaze full of bitterness. Its good that there are no people around him, otherwise, they would definitely shudder in fear! Oh, right, his secretary has already scooted out! Qin Xunchang takes out his cellphone, making a call. What he needs now isnt about taking down Lu Xiaobu completely, but merely to suppress Lu Xiaobus spicy strips business! That way, he can seize a chance to make a comeback from Lin Feng! Never underestimate the determination of a person willing to eat shit for such an opportunity! "Hello, hire an internet troll army for me, aggressively publicize the pricing issue of Lu Groups spicy strips." "Do you need a middleman to handle it, to prevent tracing back to you?" "No need, just hire them directly, the lowest level but largest quantity package!" "Okay, payment methods will be sent to your mobile later!" "Got it!" Qin Xunchang hangs up the call, his eyes revealing ferocity! Right, he doesnt need to hide; Lu Xiaobu had given him an opportunity, and Lin Feng said he wouldnt intervene! Lets just confront it head on then! This kind of low-cost package is the most efficient in a sense. Because, the troll army doesnt need to go through intermediaries, doesnt need to brainstorm different scripts, just copy and paste will do! Whereupon! "Trash Lu Xiaobu, utterly conscienceless, aiming at Qin Xunchang only to make money for himself!" "Trash Lu Xiaobu, utterly conscienceless, aiming at Qin Xunchang only to make money for himself!" "..." "From a snack to a luxury item, Lu Xiaobu isnt much better than Qin Xunchang!" "From a snack to a luxury item, Lu Xiaobu isnt much better than Qin Xunchang!" "..." "One is a ruthless businessman, the other a crook, both cut from the same cloth!" "One is a ruthless businessman, the other a crook, both cut from the same cloth!" "..." Theres no need to say more, as its basically similar types of repeated copy-paste comments. Some may say, even a fool can tell these are internet trolls! How could they possibly be influenced by them. Right, a fool can notice! But what if these people are willing to be even more foolish than fools! They already feel that the price of spicy strips is expensive, now someone is paying trolls to protest the price, why not go along?! Got it! No one is foolish! Lu Xiaobu, looking at the comments, sighed: "Since you say its a luxury, then let it be a luxury!" Who says spicy strips cant be a luxury! Chapter 548 - 546: Combination Punch [Third Update] Chapter 548: Chapter 546: Combination Punch [Third Update]Lu Xiaobu looked at Qin Xunchangs so-called retaliation methods and really found them a bit boring, too low-level! Thats right, just too low-level! The way Qin Xunchang sought revengein his eyeswas incredibly low-level! Isnt it just about turning spicy strips into a luxury item? Very simple! "Sister Lan, call Tang Geng over." Lu Xiaobu spoke to Liang Lan. Spicy strips cant be a luxury item?! On Earth, spicy strips had once become a luxury item, understand the term "internet-famous spicy strips"? "President Lu, you called for me?" Tang Gengs life was going pretty well now! His Weibo account had already gained tens of millions of followers, and every day they were awaiting his release of new emoticons. "Go, create a set of spicy strip emoticons, something fun, then promote it." Lu Xiaobu ordered Tang Geng. "Yes, President Lu, mission guaranteed to be accomplished!" Tang Geng was full of confidence regarding this task. Speaking of which, when it comes to emoticons, hes truly top-notch! Now, if he just posts a selfie, it would go viral online within a day! What? You say its because hes too unsightly?! What kind of brutally honest nonsense is that?! After Tang Geng left, Lu Xiaobu said to Liang Lan, "Sister Lan, get Chen Wen and Fang Li to post something on Weibo, oh and dont forget our eSports champion, too." Lu Xiaobu still had that layabout demeanor, slouched in the sofa, even speaking so quietly that Liang Lan could barely hear him. "Alright, Young Master!" Liang Lan looked on with admiration. Only she understood the brilliance behind the Young Masters combination of tactics! "Third, isnt our Shadow Dragon releasing a new product? Open a special spicy strip shop right next to it, with identical decor!" Lu Xiaobu spoke again. These were all tricks that had been used by Weilong on Earth! The tricks to create internet-famous spicy strips, luxury item style. "Yes! Young Master!" Liang Lans eyes were practically shining with excitement. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Every time by the Young Masters side, she learned so many tricks! ... While Liang Lan was preparing, many companies were analyzing this incident. Especially people in the snack food industry who were discussing among themselves. "Qin Xunchangs move is quite ruthless!" "Yeah, Qin Xunchangs years of struggling in the marketplace werent for nothing! This move might look simplea standard price war! But as we all know, the simplest is always the hardest to defend, especially when it comes to price!" "Enough beating around the bush; we are all on the same page! Its because our Heavenly Dynasty is incredibly sensitive to price! Free is always best!" "Thats a bit blunt, but its the absolute truth! The regular market price for spicy strips is fifty cents to a buck, but now Lu Xiaobu has just inflated it by five times, how could that be acceptable to people!" "If it were up to me, I would definitely not set the bar so high; meeting the standard would suffice, that would be most appropriate!" "You think you are Lu Xiaobu? How high his aspirations are! If he does something, it has to be the best!" "Yes, yes, his aspirations are high! Hes amazing! But I want to see how hes going to conclude this. Either he lowers the standard and price, or just stubbornly clings on half-dead!" "Let me watch too. If he cant pull it off, then its our chance!" "..." These werent just any ordinary folk; they were on the same level as Qin Xunchang, meaning their net worth was at least over ten billion. In other words, they are seasoned veterans from various business battles big and small. To give the simplest example, take the Wen Family Hall who once topped the Third Level Rich Listin front of them, theyre like little brothers! But if they dare to treat the Wen Family Hall as little brothers, they wouldnt dare to consider the unorthodox Lu Xiaobu as one. After all, the name Lu Xiaobu has always been synonymous with miracles! But as miraculous as they come, this time they didnt look favorably upon Lu Xiaobus entry into the spicy strip marketthe price was just too high! According to their logic, Lu Xiaobu only had two paths! The same two mentioned in the above dialogue, no need to repeat them! As for Lu Xiaobus idea of turning spicy strips into a luxury item, they had never considered it, nor did they know about Lu Xiaobus thoughts. Even if they thought of it or knew about it, they would scoff. Luxury spicy strips? Why not make tap water a luxury item while youre at it! Of course, those conversations were private among themselves and not publicized! After all, at their level, every word and action must be taken responsibly! ... Meanwhile, after a day of fermentation, the online calls for Lu Xiaobu to lower his prices were getting louder and louder! "Lu Xiaobu, lower the price! Lower the price!" "Young Master Bu, that pricing is really too outrageous!" "Lu Xiaobu, will it kill you to make a little less money?" "I guess I see it now, perhaps its all been a play directed by Lu Xiaobu from the start, just as Qin Xunchang said, as a way for Lu Xiaobu to break into the spicy strip market!" "Lower the price! Lower the price! If not, we wont buy anymore!" "..." Watching these comments online, the bigwigs were interested to see what Lu Xiaobu would do! Would it be option one or two? Make your choice! sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But regardless, either would mean a significant reduction in your current market share in the spicy strip industry. With that, dont blame us for taking a share of the pie! However! Lu Xiaobu had so far taken no action, or at least thats what they saw. This made them frown. "Is Lu Xiaobu opting to stubbornly cling on?" "This Lu Xiaobu really does have an extraordinarily high spirit!" "Someone who does business like that and still thrives must really have some good luck!" "..." The bigwigs shook their heads at Lu Xiaobus inaction, looking down on him a bit. This mess has blown up now, as a businessman, you should at least issue a public statement! Even if you want to stubbornly cling on, this is not how you do it! Truly the lowest level of tactics! While thinking this, the bigwigs shook their heads and decided not to pay any more attention to this matter. Theyd just wait for Lu Xiaobu to flounder, and then they would take their share! However, just then! A new wave erupted silently online! A wave all about spicy strips! Leaving all the bigwigs completely dumbfounded! What does this mean, Lu Xiaobu?! What kind of move is this?! They had never seen such a strategy before!!! Chapter 549 - 547: Lu Xiaobu’s Big Net [Fourth Update] Chapter 549: Chapter 547: Lu Xiaobus Big Net [Fourth Update]Those big shots who had lost interest in Lu Xiaobu were completely dumbfounded by a sudden combination of punches! Because suddenly, the internet became like a fragile girl, dominated by the robust man of spicy strips! Everywhere was bombarded with news about Budragon spicy strips! Oh, right, I havent told you yet, the spicy strips are called Budragon spicy strips! Hmm, Lu Xiaobu took inspiration from Earths Weilong. Overnight, a large number of Budragon spicy strips memes appeared on the internet and, because of Tang Geng, spread rapidly and were widely used. Memes like "Spicy strip to calm your shock.jpg", "Spicy strip to calm your nerves.jpg", "Furiously eat ten packs of spicy strips.jpg" and so on, a total of hundreds of spicy strip memes! And every meme clearly had the Budragon spicy strips logo on it! Even Tang Geng, to justify his salary, tirelessly added Budragon spicy strips images to all previously released memes. Suddenly, it caused a golden age where spicy strips equaled memes, memes equaled spicy strips! To the point where people even started to feel that a meme without spicy strips lacked soul! ... Two young guys addicted to meme battles. "Why are all your memes about spicy strips?!" "Nonsense, these are the latest spicy strip memes! Your memes are too low, youve definitely lost!" "Lost your moms skin! Im going to download it now!" "..." A couple. Wife: "Honey, a spicy strip to calm your shock.jpg" Husband: "Whats wrong, baby?! Craving spicy strips? Ill go buy some for you now!" ... The above is just a glimpse into the meme culture, such occurrences are rampant on the internet. Spicy strips have become a hot topic! People suddenly stopped caring if spicy strips were expensive! They wanted to indulge in a brand, they wanted Budragon spicy strips, not for any specific reason, but just to satisfy their cravings! This, people on Water Blue Star dont understand, but you on Earth should. Now there are many internet-famous foods, clearly awful taste, yet expensive, but still, many people buy them. This is just like what people think on Water Blue Star now! Since you all know, theres no need for me to analyze the specific reasons! You know, but people on Water Blue Star, especially those from advertising agencies, might not understand, right? Theyre puzzled?! Just a meme, and it completely changes peoples impression? So! A professional advertising plan team is having a meeting. Theyre not just any advertising agency, but a top 50 company on the Second Level Rich List, worth fifty billion. Just their ranking indicates how big they are in the advertising industry. But now, they are researching Lu Xiaobus memes! The companys First Planner opened the projector, showing several memes: "Come on, lets analyze! Why can Lu Xiaobu achieve such huge traffic just with memes?!" Second Planner: "The rise of meme culture?" "Who initiated the meme culture?!" "Lu Xiaobu, obviously!" "What kind of answer is that?! Meme culture was started by Lu Xiaobu, why cant we do it?!" The First Planner nearly died of anger, is this also an answer?! However! The Second Planner said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiaobu is just awesome, right!" "Get out!" The First Planner threw something on the table at him! Damn it, I want reasons! You solve it just by saying Lu Xiaobu is awesome?! Dont I know that Lu Xiaobu is awesome?! ... Those big bosses were also pondering this. "This move is awesome! Why didnt I think of using memes like this before?" "Lu Xiaobu is making a big play here! Initially, I thought these memes were just for fun, but looking at this incident particularly, it was a huge chess move!" "Or should we call it the era of internet celebrities?" "Thats a good term, look at livestreaming, eSports, now add memes, Lu Xiaobu has cast a wide net!" "Not just that, theres one more! Cellphones! Shadow cellphones!" "Right, combine cellphones with those before, and this forms a massive net, the terrifying Lu Xiaobu!" "..." These big bosses never took Lu Xiaobus antics seriously before! But this time, after it was brought up, they started feeling overshadowed; Lu Xiaobu had invisibly moved so far ahead of them! And just when the big bosses were shocked. Lu Xiaobu made his second move! Budragon spicy strips news appeared on Weibo hot search! "Chen Wen and Fang Li love eating Budragon spicy strips, couple doing fine." "Sun Wanqi also loves eating Budragon spicy strips in her spare time." "The Demon King Team claims they love eating Budragon spicy strips while gaming in their leisure time, no pits! Absolutely no pits!" "..." A series of endorsement-like Weibos appeared. The effects of celebrity endorsements need no further elaboration. Especially with the likes of Sun Wanqi, Chen Wen, and Fang Li! The popularity of spicy strips was raised to another level! Celebrity endorsed products! You should know what these four words mean, right! Then, the so-called impression of being expensive, after being halved by memes, was once again fiercely slashed by Lu Xiaobu! Now, almost no one thinks theyre expensive anymore! The big bosses each licked their lips in awe. "Dont know if this strategy was Lu Xiaobus own or that of someone from Skyrise, but this combination is beautiful!" "Yeah! Internet celebrity promotion coupled with traditional promotion, completely shattered peoples impression of exorbitant prices!" "Beautiful counterattack!" "This time, Lu Xiaobu has firmly secured his place in the spicy strip market!" "Though, its also good that Lu Xiaobu has secured his footing and firmed up the price impression, allowing us to move in." "Thats some neat calculations on your part! Arent you afraid Lu Xiaobu wont even give you a chance to enter the market?!" "Stop joking! Lu Xiaobus tactics are already spent, and you think he can still stop us from entering, old Chen? Dont think I dont know, your factory has already started production, ready to enter the market, right?" "Hahaha!" "..." Just like one of the big bosses mentioned above, in their impression, Lu Xiaobus tactics were already exhausted! Lu Xiaobu was like a trailblazer, laying the foundation for their entry. After all, Lu Xiaobus Budragon spicy strips sell for five bucks, they sell for four, easily snagging a portion of the market! Of course, their standards will be accordingly lowered. Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Meeting the standards is enough, why be so strict! But, is Lu Xiaobu really their trailblazer? Or is he actually the highwayman declaring, this road was paved by me!? Chapter 550 - 548: Spicy Strips S2plus [5th Update for Chapter 550: Chapter 548: Spicy Strips S2plus [5th Update for "One Life, One Incarnation, One Couple" Bonus]Just when the big shots were feeling smug about Lu Xiaobu becoming a trailblazer! Lu Xiaobus third punch came! "Bu Dragon Spicy Strips Specialty Store Grand Opening" "Shadow s2plus mobile release, Bu Dragon spicy strips also launched s2plus" "A specialty store for spicy strips, exquisitely decorated" "..." When everyone saw this news, they all had the same reaction. Dumbfounded! "what?" "What the hell?!" "A specialty store for spicy strips!? And s2plus? What are they doing!? Do spicy strips have versions now?!" "What? Do I have to update the system when I buy a pack of spicy strips now?!" "..." Everyone was baffled, what the hell was this?! However, when they saw the image above the news. Instantly, they all went crazy! Because they saw a luxuriously decorated store that resembled... no, it was almost exactly like the Shadow mobile specialty store! However, instead of Shadow mobiles, it was filled with spicy strips! Anyone who has been to a mobile store knows that inside the counters there are small glass domes holding various mobiles. Well, the spicy strip specialty store had them too! But what they contained were spicy strips! And there were even labels above them! s1, five yuan! s2, five and a half yuan! s2plus, six yuan! "Damn! Damn! Damn!" Everyone started swearing! "Awesome, bro!" Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Turning spicy strips into this is unprecedented!" "Impressive!" "No, I have to check this store out. I cant afford a Shadow mobile yet, but cant I afford a pack of spicy strips?" "I must buy! It reeks of high class!" "This is simply the cheapest way to show off!" "Lu Xiaobu is awesome!" "..." Suddenly, numerous people, driven by curiosity and a desire to show off, all rushed to the spicy strip specialty store to check out the spicy strips! This is peoples psychology, a simple pack of spicy strips for five yuan, many find it expensive. But add some extra added value, and it doesnt seem expensive at all! Especially with the show-off attribute, it certainly isnt expensive! People love to show off! Are you eating spicy strips that are no different from shit for one yuan?! Sorry, mine are upscale, celebrity-endorsed, available in a specialty store, the internet-famous Bu Dragon s2plus spicy strips! Are you showing off or not?! Awesome or not?! Boastful or not?! So, only five yuan? Is it still expensive?! Not at all! Give me the six-yuan plus one! ... Seeing this news, all the big shots went silent. "This!" "This move!" "Brilliant, truly brilliant!" "Hes accurately captured the buyers psychology! This combo is really impressive!" "Lu Xiaobu can do it! Really can do it!" "Old Chen, your spicy strip factory has shut down, right? Hahaha!" "Old Chen, closing down even before opening, 6666!" "Get lost! Like you guys havent shut down!" "Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu is interesting! Without saying a word, he directly cost each of us millions! Hes capable!" "Paying money for a lesson!" "Spicy strip specialty store, not a bad idea!" "Learned!" "So, how about we pay his tuition fee together?!" "Sure, lets jointly push for Lu Xiaobu to enter the Second Level Rich List! After all, even if we dont nominate him, hes likely to make it there soon. Might as well do him a favor!" "Reconsider!" "+1" "..." As they say, might as well do it since it needs to be done! Even if they dont do it, others will. However, when Lu Xiaobu received the notification of entering the Second Level Rich List, a look of annoyance spread over his face: "Take it back, I dont want it!" He directly threw the notification back to the person who had delivered it. "Ha!?" The officials of the Rich List were utterly confused! He had been delivering these notifications for many years, everyone received them happily and red envelopes were certainly expected. Hearing that it was Lu Xiaobu being listed this time, he had gone through so much trouble, agreeing to countless dinners, just to get here! After all, Lu Xiaobu was famously generous! This was supposed to be a cushy job! But! He was ready to receive a red packet, even stretching out his hand! Instead of giving him a red envelope, Lu Xiaobu actually returned the invitation to be listed?! "Im perfectly content staying on the Third Level Rich List, ranked first! Sounds more impressive, right?! And now? You want me to go and be the bottom of the Second Level Rich List?! Have I lost my mind? No way!" Lu Xiaobu kept waving his hands and said righteously. "Pfft!" The official nearly spit out a mouthful of blood! Oh my dear brother! This is the Second Level Rich List, even the last place is better than the first place on the third! But you boldly say you dont want it?! This is insane! "But, this is not something you can refuse! Your ranking has already been automatically raised, it just hasnt been shown yet, it will probably appear shortly!" The official said helplessly. They had never considered that someone might refuse, so once the application was submitted, they had already upgraded him! "Hey! Youre abusing your power! Watch out, I might sue you! Did you get my consent before promoting me?! Go away, go away, go!" Lu Xiaobu was furious! He had never been interested in this Rich List ranking from being a newbie to the Third Level, never once was it voluntary! And now! Suddenly promoted again! Thats absurd! The official, seeing Lu Xiaobu looking like he was about to start a fight, ran away scared. He really felt like spitting blood now! Damn it, who said Lu Xiaobu was generous? Stand up, I promise I wont beat you to death! I didnt even get a red packet, and nearly got beaten up! And what about those promises of treating others to dinner! Damn it! What a loss! Huge loss! ... Meanwhile, on another front. In the Lin Family, busy as a dog, Lin Feng found a moment to himself, lit a cigar, squatted on the ground, took out his cell phone, and checked the latest news. Well, I guess I cant kick this habit of squatting on the ground while smoking a cigar! "Cut! I thought this Qin Xunchang was capable of something significant! Just this crap!" Lin Feng exhaled smoke from his cigar and disdainfully said, "This kind of tactic isnt even enough to fill the gaps between Lu Xiaobus teeth!" "Ah, Lu Xiaobu outsmarted us once again! Really!" Lin Feng murmured to himself, then spoke to his butler, "Housekeeper Jia, go! Make that waste Qin Xunchang stay in prison for life!" "Yes, Young Master Lin!" Housekeeper Jia was about to leave. "Also, tell them, from now on, Qin Xunchang can only eat spicy strips, the ones he produces!" Lin Feng added. "Uh... Yes!" Housekeeper Jias mouth twitched. This was definitely something he learned from Young Master Lu! Chapter 551 - 549 Full and Bored!? [1st Update] Chapter 551: Chapter 549 Full and Bored!? [1st Update]Lu Xiaobu, reluctant as he was, had indeed made it onto the Second Level Rich List as the officials had mentioned. Yeah, number one hundred! Damn! From number one to one hundred, really sucks! Lu Xiaobu annoyingly thought to himself. However, he was somewhat resentful, but the outside world was buzzing! "OMG, you guys take a look, Xiaobu has disappeared from the Third Level Rich List! And again, the top spot is taken by the Wen Family Hall!" "What happened?! Has Xiaobu been kicked off the Rich List too?!" "Nonsense! Are you brain-dead?! Xiaobu must have been promoted!" "Exactly, Ive already seen him at number one hundred on the Second Level Rich List!" "Hes taken Qin Xunchangs spot!" "Young Master Bu is awesome!" "Nice! 666!" "Hahaha, Lu Xiaobu broke another record! He jumped the entire Third Level Rich List within a year! My man!!!" "I bet Xiaobu is happy enough to throw a party now!" "Lets give him a like!" "..." Lu Xiaobu looked at these comments and curled his lips: "Throw a party my ass! Ever heard of better to be a chickens head than a phoenixs tail? Right now everyones shouting 666, but in three days, most of you will have forgotten about me!" What he said was true; people always remember the first but forget the others. If you dont believe me, if I ask you who is the richest person in Heavenly Dynasty, youd blurt out the answer! But, if I ask who the tenth richest is? Come on, tell me! Most people definitely dont know! Not only do they not know, even if that person stood in front of you, you wouldnt recognize them! ... Internet-famous spicy strips continue to be popular, flaunted as the new eras show-off snack! "Boss, the island renovations at Qian Island Lake are pretty much completed, do you want to check it out?" Recently, Su Luoxue, once as cold as ice, now had a hint of sunburn on her face, looking much healthier. During this time, Su Luoxues main business has been the renovations at Qian Island Lake. Except the time spent by Lu Xiaobus side, she spent most of her time at Qian Island Lake. "Really? Lets go have a look." Lu Xiaobu suddenly stood up. He had rented an island at Qian Island Lake for fifty years, and if not for Su Luoxue mentioning it today, he would have almost forgotten! Seeing Lu Xiaobus excited look, a hint of pride flashed across Su Luoxues face. Finally, a chance for her to shine. This time, the limelight was definitely hers to claim! ... The group boarded a private jet and headed to Qian Island Lake. But just as they disembarked from the plane and exited the airport, they saw someone. Well, not someone, but rather only one person. Because the entire airport had been temporarily cleared out. Especially the boarding and exiting gates, not a single person was in sight. The flights scheduled for that time, all were uniformly delayed! "Damn, Lin Feng still acts with such pomp and circumstance!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said. Yes, that person was Lin Feng. Other than him, no one else could be this high-profile! "Lets go mess with that kid!" Lu Xiaobus eyes shifted, and a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. While talking, Lu Xiaobu walked over toward Lin Feng. If it werent for the numerous bodyguards around Lin Feng, Lu Xiaobu genuinely wished he could sneak up and slap the back of Lin Fengs head to vent his frustration! Housekeeper Jia saw Lu Xiaobu and whispered to Lin Feng. Immediately. "Youre here?" Lin Feng turned around to look at Lu Xiaobu, his eyes initially lofty and indifferent, suddenly became sharp and piercing! Instantly, Lin Fengs aura shifted from that of a deity to a warrior! sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was a state only seen when facing Lu Xiaobu! "No kidding, you put on such a big show, obviously waiting for me." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said exasperatedly. "Yeah." Lin Feng blatantly admitted it! At this moment, the distance between the two had closed to about one meter. A fierce spark erupted from both their eyes! The surrounding crowd had automatically dispersed, now was not their time to intervene. Then suddenly! Lu Xiaobu suddenly thrust his hands forward, grabbing Lin Fengs shoulders, followed by a knee strike! "Stop!" Lin Fengs bodyguards immediately shouted. At the same time, they broke into a cold sweat! Lu Xiaobus sudden attack was something none of them had anticipated. After all, Young Master Lin seemed to have a good relationship with him! They knew Young Master Lin had cleared the airport to wait for him, a treatment not even the other four gentlemen of Imperial had received! Yet, after exchanging just one sentence, he attacked? And most importantly, it seemed targeted at the groin! Is that an area one casually hits? As they thought this, they were about to rush forward! But before they could make a move, Zhang Meng and Li Jin sprang into action! "Slap, slap, slap, slap!" What was previously a tranquil airport instantly turned into a full-blown martial arena! However, these ordinary bodyguards were no match for Zhang Meng and Li Jin! Thus, Zhang Meng and Li Jin, just like mowing the lawn, almost swept through the entire airport with just the two of them! However, they did not hit too hard. After all, it was possible that the next second, Young Master and Lin Feng would reconcile. It seemed like a long time, but it was actually just a matter of seconds! At this moment! "Snap!" Lin Fengs hands lowered to block Lu Xiaobus knee strike! "What, you want to compare close combat now? Im not bragging, but Im really not afraid of you in that area!" Lin Feng raised his head, looked into Lu Xiaobus eyes, and revealed a sharp gaze like a wild beast. At the same time, his right hand swiftly extracted. From below upwards. A beautiful uppercut! Target: Lu Xiaobus fragile chin! Reciprocity has always been the rule in their interactions! Yet at that moment, Lu Xiaobu let go of Lin Fengs shoulders, stepped back, and dodged Lin Fengs uppercut. "Just kidding." Lu Xiaobu shrugged indifferently. "Youre really boring." Lin Feng steadied himself, rolled his eyes, then extended his hand with a smile: "Long time no see!" "Long time no see!" Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng shook hands and both smiled. At this moment, their smiles were so calm, just like truly old friends meeting each other. Zhang Meng and Li Jin also stopped their actions at this moment. Sure enough! They reconciled again. They were used to it. Housekeeper Jia also gave a wry smile; he too was used to it, but every time he saw this, he still felt troubled! Well, since they were fine now, Lin Fengs bodyguards went crazy! They stared, dumbfounded, at the two young masters who had reconciled as if nothing had happened, with thunder roaring in their heads! "Crack! Crack!" They were fried to a crisp inside and out! Damn it! What are you two doing?! Just now fighting like life and death? Now reconciling in one second?! To speak irreverently, are you two full and finding things to do?! Chapter 552 - 550: Lin Family’s Move [2nd Update] Chapter 552: Chapter 550: Lin Familys Move [2nd Update]"Tell me, whats the purpose this time? Why such a grand affair?!" Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng strolled out with their arms slung over each others shoulders. Then, they found a spot by the door to squat down and smoke! If it werent for the group of bodyguards, secretaries, and housekeepers around them, these two would look just like a pair of small-time hooligans! "I heard your islands renovation is finished, so I came to take a look. What, not welcome?" Lin Feng spoke through clouds of smoke. "Can you stop dishing bullshit? Tell the truth!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "You want to visit my island, and youre waiting for my permission? Who could stop you?!" While speaking, Lu Xiaobu sat down on the ground. He didnt mind getting dirty at all, laughing, cursing, and doing whatever he pleasesthats his creed! "What I said is the truth, but I also planned to visit another island on Qian Island Lake, to find two bodyguards who can contend with Zhang Mengs and Li Jins bodyguards!" Lin Feng also got a bit tired of squatting, seeing how Lu Xiaobu sat down, he just went ahead and sat on the ground too. Housekeeper Jia watched helplessly on the side. Well, the Young Master has unlocked a new skill again! Young Master Lu, cant you teach Young Master Lin something normal?! "From the Martial Arts Sect?" Lu Xiaobu hit the nail on the head. "Yes, from the Martial Arts Sect, theres an island at Qian Island Lake, right, not far from your island." Lin Feng nodded and said, "Thats my small island, Ive been hosting a martial arts tournament there these past few days to select two bodyguards." "You might as well go directly to a Martial Arts Sect you know and choose the two strongest." Lu Xiaobu scoffed, "Creating such unnecessary complications." Hearing Lu Xiaobus words, Zhang Meng and Li Jin puffed out their chests with pride. Listen to this, choosing the two strongest. What does that mean?! Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It means their strength is acknowledged! Hehe, satisfying! Lin Fengs bodyguards curled their lips. Somewhat unwilling to admit it, but had to accept it since they had just been outplayed! "Cut it out, you clearly have never dealt with a proper Martial Arts Sect. As the saying goes, the poor study literature and the rich practice martial arts, do you really think these sects can be bought with money?" Lin Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, if I went to find a Martial Arts Sect myself, wouldnt my familys old fogies find out?! So, I just used the excuse of your renovation completion to stir up some trouble." "To verify something on the side, huh." Lu Xiaobu snorted, seeing through Lin Fengs intention. "Nonsense!" Lin Feng didnt shy away: "Choosing bodyguards is precisely to deal with Zhang Meng and Li Jin, testing them on the spot is naturally best!" "Alright, alright." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand impatiently: "Anyway, if I didnt agree, youd surely resort to dirty tricks, right?" He could imagine, if he didnt agree to the contest, Lin Feng would definitely send his men to trample his island into ruins and not let him leave. Dont doubt it, Lin Feng is absolutely capable of doing that! "Exactly." Lin Feng shrugged, not denying it: "Ive made such a big move, if you didnt agree, wouldnt I be at a loss?!" "Take it." Lu Xiaobu stood up, casually tossed the cigar he had smoked less than half of, and stood up. "Lets go!" Lin Feng also stood up and casually threw his cigar. Immediately, a beautiful Filipino maid from Lin Fengs team came out and cleaned up the half-smoked cigars and the ashes on the ground. ... The group proceeded together. With Lin Fengs car here, Lu Xiaobu naturally didnt need to arrange another ride. On Lin Fengs RV. This is specially equipped by Lin Feng after the incident in Magic City. Zhang Meng is in charge of driving, with Housekeeper Jia in the passenger seat! As for Liang Lan and Lin Fengs bodyguards, all are in other vehicles. Inside the compartment. "Want something to drink? Beer?" Lin Feng stood up, opened the fridge, and said. This is his vehicle; naturally, he needs to play host to Lu Xiaobu. Being personally entertained by Lin Feng is a privilege that only a few in the Heavenly Dynasty could enjoy, and Lu Xiaobu is among them. "Prepared beer?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow and smiled. Lin Feng never drinks beer, yet he specially prepared some. "Isnt this prepared for you? Tell me, which beers do you want? American Budweiser? German Becks? Dutch Heineken? Or Danish Carlsberg?" Lin Feng listed a bunch of beer brands. "Budweiser will do! Ive only heard of that one!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said. "Speechless." Lin Feng rolled his eyes. Sometimes he wonders how he ended up being in this kind of relationship with someone so full of lowbrow tastes. Cough cough, of course, he indeed couldnt avoid picking up some lowbrow tastes himself! While thinking, Lin Feng opened the second fridge, which was filled with Budweiser, all kept at the optimal drinking temperature, between 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. Specially prepared for Lu Xiaobu. "Here." Lin Feng handed a beer to Lu Xiaobu, then poured himself a glass of Lafite. "Say whatever you want to say." Lu Xiaobu took a gulp, half the bottle down, and muttered how refreshing it was, then looked at Lin Feng and said. "I cant hold back the news much longer." Lin Fengs voice lowered a bit: "I estimate that someone from my family will come to investigate you soon." "Lin Haos matter?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow and said, "It hasnt been long, this isnt good!" "Dont change the subject. You know the power of our family. It hasnt been easy for me to hold this off by myself until now." Lin Feng waved his hand: "Recently, our familys elder spoke, saying we cant lose people like this! Theres no helping it, I cant block it anymore!" "So, your main purpose for coming to Qian Island Lake this time is because of this?" Lu Xiaobu furrowed his brow. "Correct, one to give you a heads-up, and second, I need to make some preparations." Lin Feng took a sip of red wine, his eyes flickering fiercely: "If worse comes to worst, I might see if I can strike first. Its just a matter of sacrificing a few pawns!" "You are still as ruthless and heartless as ever!" Lu Xiaobu frowned. He knew the so-called pawns referred to those martial artists! "What does it matter, of those attending my martial arts competition, how many of them are decent folks?" Lin Feng sneered: "All of them have committed offenses, even carrying blood on their hands, seeking my protection! If they want my protection, then they should be prepared to pay the price." "Lets not talk about this anymore. Just tell me, what will your family do if they confirm the real situation?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, his brow furrowed. This matter involves too much! Especially his familys safety, there cant be any carelessness. "Confirm? No! They dont need to confirm! Just discovering that you are indeed involved with this affair is enough for them to make their move on you!" Lin Feng shook his head: "So, you must be fully prepared!" "What preparations?!" Lu Xiaobu squinted and asked.
