Chapter 1197: The Best At Currying Favor

“Have you never heard of Bulao City?” Lu Shu was shocked. “Is it not among the seven big cities?”

“No.” Chen Zuan said, “I am very sure of this. There are seven major cities. We are now in Qixian City. The city beside us is Zhengyang City. Then, there is Tonghuan City, Yunyi City, Luchen City, and Guanghe City…”

“Oh. That’s six. What about the last one?” Lu Shu asked curiously.

“The name of the seventh city is quite strange,” said Chen Zuan as he furrowed his eyebrows.

“Strange?” Lu Shu eyes lit up. “Is it called Bulao City?”

“No…” Chen Zuan recalled. “The seventh city is called God Lu How Is Your Health City.”

“What?!” Lu Shu almost vomited blood. Who came up with this name? It was far too obviou that they were trying to curry favor!

“I don’t know who came up with his name either. I think that it is very strange. Who is God Lu?” Chen Zuan curiously asked, “But he sounds very old. He is definitely not as handsome as I am.”

Lu Shu was speechless.

Lu Shu found that he was in no position to rebut!

“Brother Shu, am I right? God Lu sounds very weak. The people sucking up to him are all very weak.” Chen Zuan said, “Most importantly, who is God Lu? I have never heard of him…”

“Hm? Brother Shu, why are you walking out of your room? We are being imprisoned here. Have some self-awareness…”

“Hm? Brother Shu, why did you open my door?”

“Damn, Brother Shu, what are you doing?!”

Ten minutes later, Chen Zuan wiped his bloody nose. “How unlucky.”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +899!”

Lu Shu returned to his room. He asked through the door, “Did you hear anything about the city head of Tonghuan City being killed?”

“Of course.” Chen Zuan took out a piece of tissue from his invisible storage equipment and stuffed it into his nose. “It was definitely Xiaoyu. Who else would be that ferocious other than her?”

“Then do you know where she has gone?” Lu Shu asked curiously.

“I don’t know about that. After all, we are not in the same city. Furthermore, it has only been a few days since we came here. There is very little information from other cities.” Chen Zuan said, “But it looks like the city heads are not that important to the families. Once the city head dies, another person will take over. As long as their profits continue to be transported, they do not care who the city head is. Of course, they will have some punishments. If not, everyone would fight over becoming the city head. Their rule would not be stable either.”

This was the same as the information Lu Shu had obtained. Once the city head died, another person would take their place. Lu Shu was not worried that the family controlling Tonghuan city would chase and kill Lu Xiaoyu.

After all, it was fine even if they did not kill Lu Xiaoyu. All they had to do was replace the city head.

If they really wanted to chase and kill her, they might even need to replace the family…

“Then what do we do now?” Chen Zuan asked. He had planned to find the city head according to his own plan, but now, since Lu Shu was here, he was not quite willing to use his head.

After all, time had proven that although Lu Shu’s plan often failed, he would not be wrong if he followed Lu Shu. Although his plans failed, Lu Shu would eventually succeed…

Lu Shu thought about it. “I don’t have any plans for now…”

“Oh well.” Chen Zuan’s voice sounded from the other room.

Lu Shu’s expression darkened. What did Chen Zuan mean? He did not want to beat up the fatty for the third time. He continued, “We don’t have much information about the outside world, so let’s not make any plans for now. Either way, we are strong enough. In order to cope with a constantly changing situation, I want to see the city head of Qixian City.”

“What for?” Chen Zuan was dumbfounded.

Lu Shu only laughed coldly, but did not reply to him. Coral asked, “Shall we eat?”

Lu Shu realized that there was the pleasant smell of food wafting in the room. He turned and saw that Coral had set up a small stove and a pot in the room. She was cooking instant noodles with ingredients like ham, chicken leg, and beef. It was very fragrant.

Coral seemed embarrassed. “This place is very simple. I can only make instant noodles.”

Chen Zuan opened the door and came in to eat. But when he saw Coral, he was suddenly dumbfounded. She was familiar, yet foreign. She was someone he had never met. “Brother Shu, this is…”

“Ahem.” Lu Shu said, “She is Coral. She has disguised herself.”

Chen Zuan was shocked. They were here together? Then, he saw the interior of their room…

The fragrance of the instant noodles had filled the room. Lu Shu could almost hear thousands of prisoners drooling. Someone suddenly shouted, “Who is cooking instant noodles? Do you want to kill us?”

“Yes, don’t you have any conscience?”

Lu Shu looked at the distress points in his system’s back end. Suddenly, he beamed with joy. Who knew that he would be able to earn so many distress points here?

He now needed 100 million distress points to light up one star. Up till now, Lu Shu had not thought about how he would be able to earn so many distress points. Of course, he would earn whatever he could.

The prison guard rushed over to find the source of the smell. He even brought a large group of guards with him. The guards were dumbfounded. They did not know what this smell was.

When they passed by the other prison cells, some people suddenly pulled on their clothes. “You must bring them to justice. Don’t tolerate them!”

The prison guard did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He was very clear that the new people this time were quite different from them. They had committed crimes, while these new people had not. Furthermore, they had questioned these people and realized that they did not even know who God Lu was.

What was happening? Was a major change about to occur?

The bandits could not be blamed for capturing all the secret practitioners from Earth. What were the secret practitioners here for? They were here to hunt for treasure!

When they saw that there were humans here, they were dumbfounded. In past remains, humans had never appeared. Someone even shouted, “These are all NPCs!”

Many people had seen the remains as an instance dungeon, a very large instance dungeon…

Many people felt that this made sense. They treated the bandits like NPCs and even started looking through others’ belongings…

In this place where criminals were gathered, could you simply look through their belongings?

When the bandits surrounded them, they tried to fend them off, but realized that they could not defeat these bandits!

When the first secret practitioner from Earth died, they finally understood. Then, they grew obedient.
