Chapter 986: Lu Shu’s Plan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu did not live in the house that the Song Ji gambling den helped him to purchase. He knew that there would always be gaps in protection. Furthermore, the Song Ji gambling den was not a spy organization. The news of them buying a house would definitely leak out.

Thus, when Lu Shu entered the house, he would be witnessed by countless people. Many people had been cheated by Lu Shu. Furthermore, they had come to take part in the Sword Hut selections. It would be enough for them to face these candidates.

But Lu Shu was different. There were many people in the palace who wanted him dead…

Thus, if others said that coming to the palace for the Sword Hut selections was difficult, it would be hellishly difficult for Lu Shu…

To be honest, Lu Shu did not know what frightening things would happen if he stepped into that house.

He brought Lu Xiaoyu to an inn. Since they were rich, they requested for the best room. After all, it was an experience. Coming to the Luniverse was like traveling. When they were outside the country, they would eat well and sleep well. This was what the people of China thought.

Lu Xiaoyu rarely went out. Thus, since Lu Xiaoyu was here, Lu Shu wanted her to experience the best.

The best room in the inn was different from what Lu Shu had expected. In Wuxia dramas, the best room was on the top floor with the best scenery. However, the room would not be very big.

But the inns in the palace were different. The best room was an entire courtyard. There were fake mountains and rivers. It seemed like the mountain villas on Earth. It was very impressive.

Lu Shu sat in the courtyard and continually ate fruits. The celestial fruits had advanced into nebula fruits, but it was still very tiring to eat them. There was just too much to eat!

Lu Xiaoyu sat by the side and settled the accounts. She had taken down all the income and expenses throughout the entire journey in her account book. She had even calculated the resources that Lu Shu had gathered from the large organizations on Earth.

“I think that you can upgrade the Wei Wu Army’s weapons. You have thousands of weapons in the Seal of Lands. The Wei Wu Army will not use up many weapons. You can even bring the combat power of the entire Wei Wu Army up by one level.” Lu Xiaoyu calmly analyzed. “If you want to sell them, putting too many weapons up for sale will disrupt the market. You won’t be able to sell them for a good price. Of course, the money that you have now will be exchanged for weapons and armor. Our way of thinking is the same. Money is not important. What is important is what it is exchanged for. Thus, don’t sell the standard weapons that you have now. You can use some to equip the Wei Wu Army.”

“No problem,” said Lu Shu as he ate the fruits. “These standard weapons were used to coax the secret practitioners. They are not of good quality. Do you want to give them the tridents? Chaos still has over ten thousand tridents to eat…”

As he spoke, Lu Shu felt that he was very rich…

But Lu Xiaoyu rejected Lu Shu’s suggestion. “I think that we should wait and see. Although the Wei Wu Army is loyal to you, if you give them tridents, they might become over-reliant on their weapons. I think that it is best to give them the tridents after their abilities have advanced to another level.”

Lu Shu looked at Lu Xiaoyu and sighed with emotion. In the past, she did not think about affairs like this. But now, she was planning intricate details for him.

Lu Xiaoyu was already very obedient, but now, she was forcing herself to be even more obedient in order to match Lu Shu.

Lu Shu could sense that Lu Xiaoyu was forcing herself to grow and share the pressures with Lu Shu.

“You take the lead,” said Lu Shu. “I don’t dare to unlock the fifth level of Nebula yet. With the fruits I have now, I can light up the fifth star of the fifth Nebula, which is a high Rank One. But I am afraid that when I reach a new level of Nebula, it will trigger a heavenly vision or the sound of the Dao. Thus, I think that it is best to find a suitable place to do so.”

For some reason, Lu Shu felt that something major would happen the moment he unlocked the fifth level of Nebula. He did not know how the sound of the Dao would be like when his celestial map advanced to Rank One, but he had an unpleasant premonition.

It was never wrong to be more prudent. Advancing in the palace would be too aggressive…

The distress points that Lu Shu had accumulated had reached hundreds of millions. Lu Shu thought about it. Had he really caused so much trouble during this period of time…

But Lu Shu realized that not only could he light up the fifth star of the fifth level of Nebula, Lu Xiaoyu had accumulated enough distress points to unlock the fifth level as well.

It was time to find an opportunity to bring Lu Xiaoyu and advance to Rank One together. The Luniverse was very chaotic. Lu Shu could only relax once Lu Xiaoyu had advanced to Rank One.

Furthermore, Lu Shu thought about it. Typical Practitioners would be able to fly when they achieved Rank One. Furthermore, their abilities and methods would improve. So, would there be any new changes when he unlocked the fifth level of Nebula?

Lu Shu was quite excited. This seemed like a major stage, where quantitative change turned into qualitative change. He anticipated the surprise that the celestial map would bring to him and Lu Xiaoyu.

At that moment, Yi Qian returned. He softly said a few words to Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. Then, Lu Shu packed his things and went out with Yi Qian.

The palace at night was bustling. It was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners.

The people seemed to be free of troubles. The shops along the street were flourishing. Lu Shu felt as if he was at a night market on Earth, where people crowded together and walked around.

Lu Shu followed Yi Qian and finally reached a deserted alley. There was no one in the alley, but Lu Shu could sense waves of energy.

He looked up and looked at the wall of the alley. It was pitch black. Lu Shu also stood in the shadows so that the person would not be able to see him.

There was a voice. “Are you Lu Shu, the commander of the Wei Wu Army? What have you come here for?”

Lu Shu remained calm and composed. He said, “It is risky for Rank Twos to participate in the Sword Hut selections. I’m sure that you know better than me. I know that a few of you have formed an alliance to counter the Rank Ones.”

The person on the wall did not speak, as if he was waiting for Lu Shu to continue.

Lu Shu smiled and continued. “Although I am first, you know that I am only a Rank Two. Thus, I’d like to join you and counter those Rank One experts. How about it?”

Lu Shu felt that his plan was perfect. Although he was ranked first, it was indicated that he was still Rank Two in ability. It would be very pleasant if Rank Twos defeated Rank Ones and finished their operations.

At that moment, the person on the wall said, “No need to trick us. Someone from the Sun family has told us that you have attained Rank One.”

Lu Shu was shocked. “What in the world…”

Could they just let him plan a decent plan? Huh?!

When Sun Zhongyang left in the day, Lu Shu was still curious why the son of a wealthy family like him was able to stand the humiliation. So he had been waiting for him!
