Lu Shu held onto his two spears and leaned against a withered tree inside the mountain gap, as he gleefully calculated his fruitful harvest after entering the remains.
After some calculations, two spears, one ax, one sword, and 1234567… 24 fruits!
And he roughly knew the plight the others were in, they must be lacking food and clothes and constantly worried about a skeleton attack. Be it the heavenly network or daoyuan students, there weren’t that many experts.
In comparison, Lu Shu was having it easy.
As he was still calculating, he suddenly received lines of distress points from Lu Xiaoyu, about 10+ each time but the frequency was high…
Could the young lady be missing me? Lu Shu could picture in his head Lu Xiaoyu at home grumbling about why he still had not returned, and thinking about this was heartwarming.
Wonder if Lu Xiaoyu had been living well these few days, did she manage to find the potato chips I’d hidden in the wardrobe?
I have to return alive, it’s a must…
…
A night had pa.s.sed and at the heavenly network’s temporary base, someone was observing the movements of the skeleton cavalry.
These few days, they were exhausted. They had to consider their best option to take down this group of cavalry while minimizing casualties before they could enter the next level of the area.
They also had to dispatch people to retrieve lost daoyuan students, soldiers and members of the heavenly network.
Only by ama.s.sing more combat personnel could they increase their chances of winning. As for the daoyuan students here, they felt that they were responsible for their safety.
To them, no matter how disappointing the daoyuan students were, it was their job to protect them.
It wasn’t because of how important daoyuan students were or how the students’ lives were more than theirs, but because in their eyes, the daoyuan students were still children.
It would be expected that after this remains incident, the death of many daoyuan students would incur a huge uproar from the public and as for how the heavenly network would deal with that, it was unsure.
Those parents from a peaceful era would react very strongly upon losing their own children and what the combat personnel could do was to save as many as they could. This was their job.
“Sh*t, come look,” The person on sentry at the cliff suddenly shouted.
Everyone ran over, “what happened?!”
“Another horseman had his spear stolen…”
Everyone gasped. They looked closely and indeed, the first one that got robbed was killed by the sniper while the one who got robbed yesterday was still there. But this morning, another horseman’s spear had gone missing…
This is… absolutely crazy!
“Why does he want so many spears?!” Someone asked.
“Perhaps to sell for money…?”
In the early morning, Lu Shu excitedly carried the three spears and made his way through the mountain gap when he suddenly received a wave of distress points. He checked and found out that it was the same group of people from yesterday. Although this time wasn’t much, Lu Shu was elated… these were his fans!
He never thought that anyone would become his fans after being disgusted by his comments…
Someone from the heavenly network side suddenly suggested, “Why don’t we wait for him to steal all the cavalry’s weapons before we make our move…?”
Everyone was suddenly silent and looked towards the person who said that… your idea is possible!
Why was the skeleton cavalry feared? One reason was that they had little weak spots and you’d have to break their skulls to kill them and secondly, their weapons were extremely sharp and capable of killing people quickly.
If this cavalry was disarmed, then their level of danger would be greatly reduced.
Why not… just wait for Lu Shu to rob all of them first?
But the cla.s.s D leader frowned, “That won’t work. Our rations will not last till then and let’s talk about roles. Are we going to rely on a daoyuan student who we’re supposed to protect? Have you thought about the possibility that he would misstep and lose his life? My advice is to not take advantage of such a situation as we’re all ex-army soldiers after all.”
All the soldiers and heavenly network members heard what he said, “sorry, we did not consider it carefully.”
“Alright, continue observing. The best case would
be for us to find this student called Lu Shu!”
Find him… where to find?!
…
It was dawn and Lu Shu took an opportunity while it was still bright to rob another horseman. Seeing that his plan to get rich was about to succeed, Lu Shu thought that the heavenly network would never let these weapons stay in the hands of individuals. The remains belonged to the country so how could they be yours only?
Outside the remains, everyone would be able to see the weapons you carry and they were bound to be confiscated.
But according to Jiang Shuyi, the heavenly network was meritocratic. After helping them obtain so many weapons, they would definitely reward Lu Shu one way or another.
Given the current situation, the next training method after the mysterious senses chapter would be imparted based on an individual’s contributions. So could the reward be imparting the next chapter?
Maybe even magical stones? Lu Shu felt that the chance of this was quite small as they had already given out quite some stones and there was a production limit. Lu Shu reckoned that the heavenly network would not have extras.
And he couldn’t even sell the magical stones. Who knows when a black market would appear?
Then it would complicate. He didn’t need the training method and magical stones couldn’t be sold yet. The rewards from the heavenly network were of little help to him.
But Lu Shu wasn’t worried. He felt that this was quite interesting and he wasn’t at risk of getting injured.
Wait, although I don’t need the subsequent chapters of the training method, those rich second generations would definitely need them! At this moment, they do not have any ways of earning credit so what’s so bad about me giving them a way? With regards to exchanging credit for training methods, Lu Shu was very sure about it. Xi Fei had been stuck at Cla.s.s E for a long while but immediately rose to Cla.s.s D after killing those fugitives. Anyone could have guessed what happened!
By that time, while everyone was still stuck on the mysterious senses chapter, Lu Shu’s ‘customers’ could use the exchange of these weapons for the next chapter. Such exchanges would definitely interest many rich kids.
With this, the weapons he got would become useful! But he also had to leave himself one for self-protection in the remains. This was also to prevent suspicions from others who may wonder why Lu Shu didn’t need the next chapter.
But the payment was a problem. No one brought that much cash into this remains and there weren’t any atm machines to draw money too. Lu Shu was disappointed. It was impossible to start any form of business in this sh*tty place.
