After careful consideration, Lu Shu decided not to rashly give the fruits to Lu Xiaoyu. His near death experience while undergoing the awakening remained fresh in his mind. He was somewhat traumatized.
It was not impossible for him to sell the fruits. In reality, some big families bought fruits like these too. For some families, there was only one successor. Although the successor wanted to undergo an awakening, they did not have the ability to do so. Thus, they chose to do so with the aid of external tools.
Awakening mainly depended on one’s aptitude and class. Although some people did not undergo an awakening, there were cases where they advanced to Class C after eating fruits. There was even one case where someone had advanced to Class B through this method.
This was also the reason why these fruits were in great demand.
Although the big families controlled the world economy, they had no relation to the realm of cultivation. Their money could not be used to buy fruits. But these families likely had rare items whose magical properties were discovered after the magical era.
There were many mythical objects and tools scattered in various places around the world. With the rise of the magical era, more and more of these items were discovered.
Lu Shu felt that Lu Xiaoyu’s strength was decent. There was no need to risk her life in order to undergo such an awakening. He felt that it was wiser to reserve one fruit for future use, and exchange the other fruit for a mythical object to give to Lu Xiaoyu.
Lu Xiaoyu’s ability to speak to animals could probably be her special ability. No one knew how this ability would advance in the future.
Lu Shu looked at the hire section of the website. There were still many tasks posted on the page. It seemed like famous experts from around the world were being offered rewards…
The Darkness Kingdom used the value of the rewards to determine the level of one’s abilities. Those with higher rewards were more impressive…
When people hired these experts, they would use the value of the rewards as an estimate to guide their quotes.
It was said that during the dawn of the magical era, a Class C expert felt that the rewards he was offered were too low, thus he raised the quote of his rewards. When a veteran saw this, he was very happy. What a large reward for such a simple task! Thus, he killed the practitioner and got the reward. As a result, the name of this Class C expert became famous within the Darkness Kingdom. Since then, no one dared to boost their social class by increasing the value of their rewards.
There were all kinds of fish in the sea. There were many idiotic Metahumans as well…
Dong dong dong!
Lu Shu suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. He opened the door and saw Li Yixiao and Nalan Que. He was dumbfounded.
Is something the matter?
Li Yixiao held a bag of vegetables in his hand. He smiled and said,
Aren’t you lonely by yourself? We came here to make you a meal.
We can just eat at your house too.
Lu Shu laughed.
Don’t you have the slightest idea why I no longer allow you to come to my house?
Li Yixiao said angrily.
Nalan Que took the ingredients and walked into the kitchen, giving Li Yixiao and Lu Shu room to talk. Li Yixiao pulled Lu Shu over to the living room.
Have you heard? No one from the Heavenly Network went to the South American ruins. We don’t have enough manpower overseas. As patriotic members, how could we turn a blind eye to this?
Lu Shu gave a cold laugh.
Ha ha.
Lu Shu realized that Li Yixiao had come here to win his support. Nie Ting must have given Li Yixiao an impressive reward to do so. Otherwise, Li Yixiao would not want to be involved in this matter. But he did not expect Li Yixiao to suddenly change the subject.
Fine. I know you are not willing to do. Then you won’t know that there are signs of the Lop Nur remains opening.
Lop Nur? Lu Shu was silent. Lop Nur was in the southeast part of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. This place was often associated with a depopulated zone and an abnormal incident. There was also another name for this place.
Lu Shu asked,
Loulan Kingdom?
Li Yixiao shook his head.
Lop Nur is very strange. No one knows if it is related to the Loulan Kingdom. It may be something else.
Lu Shu nodded his head. He had previously researched on the place out of interest. After the mysterious disappearance of some explorers, their corpses were found kilometers away. Female corpses, dating back thousands of years ago, were found in perfect condition in some cemeteries. They found massive man-eating lizards in caves as well. There were many strange happenings there, some of which remained a mystery till present day. Reports of some incidents had been passed down incorrectly, causing them to become increasingly distorted. One could not arbitrarily say that the remains and the Loulan Kingdom were related. It might be something else.
Lu Shu’s interest was piqued. He would not go overseas, but if the remains were in the country, why not take a look?
They did not necessarily have to go to the remains to retrieve relics. After all, he could not go so far as to have a life-or-death fight with the Heavenly Kings. But the problem was, the items in the remains were not limited to just relics. Perhaps there would be a large volume of mystic water as well…
People like Nalan Que, who were not part of the Heavenly Network, could not explore these remains. Thus, Li Yixiao immediately thought of cooperating with Lu Shu.
At that moment, Li Yixiao received a call. Nie Ting said calmly over the phone,
This time, Chen Baili will take the lead. The rest of the Heavenly Kings will guard their original places. You are not allowed to leave your post without permission. The students from the Cultivation Colleges are heading towards Lop Nur. Only military training students whose abilities are above Class E may participate in this exploration. They will set off from the military camp.
After he finished speaking, Nie Ting hung up. Li Yixiao rigidly looked at Lu Shu.
Looks like the two of us can’t go.
Lu Shu shook his head.
You can’t go, but I can…
Li Yixiao was dumbfounded.
But you didn’t make it in time for the Cultivation College exam.
But I received special permission from Nie Ting to go to school,
said Lu Shu with a smile.
From Li Yixiao’s distress, +666!
Lu Shu immediately called Zhong Yutang.
Hello, Zhong Yutang? I’ve thought about it. For things like the military training, everyone must be treated equally without discrimination. I can’t say that just because I have participated before, means that I can flaunt the rules and not take part in the training again. After a lot of consideration, I feel that not only do I have to participate, I also have to train my perseverance!
Zhong Yutang was silent.
From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +666!
Hello, Zhong Yutang? Are you listening?
Lu Shu asked.
Yes,
Zhong Yutang had a headache.
Hurry up and pack your things. Part of the group heading towards the ruins has already set off. If you rush to the military camp now, you can still make it in time for the last military truck…
The remains are opening?
Lu Shu looked very surprised.
Look at you, don’t I have to rush to the remains now? Ha ha ha, I’ll go there and join in the fun!
Zhong Yutang hung up without another word.
