It was not that Lu Shu did not listen to what Xia Rensheng had said. In the first place, the two of them had come here with very different objectives. Xia Rensheng and the rest were here to trade minerals with EO. When Lu Shu took a look at the information, he realized that they had a decent stock of minerals. The EO had called the large organizations over not to sell the minerals to only one organization, but to discuss the price and allow the representatives of each organization to then compete over that price.
On the other hand, Lu Shu only had one objective coming here. He was here to earn distress points and increase his strength…
How could he earn distress points? He could not promote harmony here. If he did, where would the distress points come from?!
The EO had arranged accommodation for everyone. The representatives from each organization would stay in a newly-built villa. But Lu Shu felt that EO had intentionally put everyone in close proximity with one another so that there would be friction between the organizations, making it easier for EO to take control amidst the chaos.
Lu Shu did not care much. After he decided on where he would stay, he went out for a walk. When the secret practitioners knew that his abilities were higher than that of theirs, they decided not to provoke him directly. Lu Shu did not care about whether they would carry out any cheap tricks in private.
As he walked on the old streets of Anguo, he realized that this place was very different from other places. Back in China, you could only see dirt roads in the countryside. Here, half the roads were made of dirt, while the other half was made of cement. When a car passed by, it would stir up a cloud of dust that filled the air.
Lu Shu saw a fleet of cars with the EO symbol. There were all sorts of people in the cars. Their expressions were valiant and cold. EO was a global Practitioner organization.
To be honest, South Africa was a mystical place. The most popular Chinese products were motorcycles, followed by essential balms. A small bottle of essential balms that sold for a few dollars back in China was worth 8 USD here. Furthermore, the motorcycle companies that were worth ten billion dollars here were all Chinese companies.
Thus, some people could not understand why China wanted to provide South Africa with aid in construction. After learning about this information, Lu Shu could understand it a little more…
In the past, there were many people who wanted to smuggle essential balms. As a result, the customs imposed strict rules and checks on essential balms. If one brought more essential balms than allowed, their balms would be confiscated.
There was a businessman who brought second hand clothes from China to South Africa. One piece of second hand garment was worth a few USD, providing him with high profits.
South Africa also produced a few unique businessmen. They waited for second hand clothes from China to arrive at the harbor before packing them and replenishing their stock. As for whether the source of the second hand clothes was legitimate, no one paid much attention.
As with any other country, there were many poor locals here. But their spending habits were different from that in China. It did not matter that they could not afford the clothes that cost eight dollars. They would still buy it, even if they had to borrow money…
The Chinese also came to South Africa to open factories. When they first opened, they gave out a month’s worth of pay in advance. But three days later, the local workers went on strike. They had already spent all of their wages…
Everyone knew that this way of thinking was limited. The locals here would spend all their money and not save up. If they were given a month’s worth of pay in one go, they did not know how to budget for the other 27 days…
The Chinese factories thus changed the way they paid their workers. They would pay their wages every three days. But the locals then spent three days’ worth of wages in just half a day…
They had no choice but to give out wages at the end of every work day. But once they did that, the locals used up all their money and went out, never to return again…
What the…
This place was not fair at all. It had become normal for Chinese comrades to be robbed here. When they were driving, they would have to pay a fine whenever they encountered the police. But now, it was different, everyone who came here were Practitioners. The local thieves became quails. The combat power of the Practitioners was just too high. They could not provoke these Practitioners…
Thus, stealing became a technical job here. If you did not have good judgment, you would not dare to even make a move.
Lu Shu saw that the sky was turning dark and headed back. He felt slightly regretful that no one had come to steal from him and help him earn distress points.
But these locals who had rich experience in stealing did not know that someone was here, waiting to scam them.
When Lu Shu returned to the villas, he realized that something was not right. The villas were very luxurious, like a Chinese garden. But the problem with this Chinese garden was that there was too much vegetation suitable for hiding. He could sense unusual waves of energy from within the vegetation.
There were seven large organizations. But Lu Shu could sense five unusual waves of energy from the vicinity around the villa.
Lu Shu was unhappy. They were all large organizations! Could you enhance the quality of your surveillance technology?!
He started to patrol the area. When he sensed a wave of energy, he raised his hand and threw a box of stinky tofu. He did not care whether the soup would spill. He was using the stinky tofu as a biochemical weapon.
From Ian Clinton’s distress, +399…
From…
After throwing the stinky tofu, Lu Shu even asked softly in English,
Is there anyone inside?
The people inside had wanted to escape when they smelled the stinky tofu. But when they heard this sentence, they stopped in their tracks. This stinky tofu truly packed a punch. Lu Shu had never smelled any stinky tofu as strong as this. The distress points continued to increase…
Lu Shu was happy. He did not leave and stood there, waiting to see how long the people inside could bear the smell. This bunch was a point-generating machine. They did not even escape…
Lu Shu had thrown the box of stinky tofu when it was half open. When he threw it, it spilled on the floor. After more than ten minutes, someone screamed and ran off…
The others followed behind him. That night, there was a rumor among the large organizations that someone had brought biochemical weapons in! This was not a peaceful competition at all!
Lu Shu happily returned to the villa. He heard Xia Rensheng talking to the rest.
This time, we have to be extra careful and wait for the assistance team to come. When you speak, be careful. When you sleep at night, take turns to do the night shift. Remember to pull the curtains. The environment around us is perfect for surveillance.
Lu Shu did not speak. He secretly changed his clothes and sneaked out through the window. As he jumped out of the window, he changed his appearance to that of a white man. When he found the villa where the large organizations were staying at, he used a stone to break the window before throwing stinky tofu inside.
Earlier, someone in the villa had said,
I don’t think that it is an actual biochemical weapon. It does not inflict any real harm on Practitioners.
Now, the people in charge of surveillance all stepped back. If it really was a biochemical weapon, there would at least be some symptoms on their skin. But there was nothing.
It is most likely just a method to get rid of surveillance. I suspect that the Heavenly Network is behind this. After all, it happened beside the Heavenly Network’s villa.
Since it does not inflict any harm and is just to get rid of surveillance, we can just keep a lookout for them. Also, we have to find out who exactly did this,
said Howard slowly.
The next moment, as they were discussing their next move, they heard the sound of glass breaking. A white person flashed past the window. Suddenly, an unpleasant smell filled the villa…
From Ian Clinton’s distress, +666…
From…
This bastard dared to attack on his own initiative?! We just said that he was doing so only to get rid of surveillance?!
