Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 219

Chapter 219: 219?Slipped through the Cracks

With a creak, the doors within the shophouse opened and a gleaming young man in black-framed spectacles walked out. Through the light rays within the house, the old yet thoroughly antiques could be seen. There were porcelain items as well as antiques made of bronze, there was a really wide array of them.

Zhang Guohua pointed to some crushed wooden bits on the floor, “He crushed it, can you do it?”

The teenager shook his head. He might be one of the best daoyuan students of Xijing City, but he definitely couldn’t crush the wooden ball to such a state.

Zhang Guohua said softly, “Son, didn’t you say there aren’t many people stronger than you in Xijing City? Then he should be quite famous. Is it that prodigy with tier A apt.i.tude?”

The teenager shook his head once more, “No. I’m afraid he’s a demon from some other city here to settle his magical stones. Only demons don’t require magical stones to raise their power, because their own body’s training speed is more than enough.”

At this moment, the teenager regarded Lu Shu as someone from another city who came to get rid of his stones. But his a.n.a.lysis was right. Lu Shu indeed didn’t need magical stones because he really didn’t need them at all…

Lu Shu was relieved after settling his magical stone. He wouldn’t earn as much from a year of selling eggs and stinky tofu.

But with the money, he had more confidence. After all, hundreds of thousands was a ma.s.sive amount for a high school student.

At this period, most males of the same age were probably stressed over a few hundred dollars. To chase after a girl required money as they had to go for a meal or watch a movie during dates, and the meal couldn’t be too cheap as well?

A month’s worth of allowance of a few hundred dollars, thousand for those who were better off, was just not enough.

Even if they didn’t chase after girls, they would smoke or read comics. Some even enjoyed drinking!

Most teenagers, unlike portrayed in dramas and movies, weren’t worried about relations.h.i.+ps but being poor…

Now, Lu Shu had the ability to bring Lu Xiaoyu out to play whenever he wanted to, even if it was out of the country.

This was the life Lu Shu wanted, one which had stability.

He believed in a saying relentlessly: true heroes live their lives to the fullest, they love their lives pa.s.sionately.

No one was more appreciative of their circ.u.mstance than Lu Shu, who had to work hard to get to where he was today.

Lu Shu held onto his cash and was planning to go back by where he came from but just then, he saw someone squatting down over a stall. His face was tightly covered, and he was eye-catching from the crowd!

d.a.m.n… Lu Shu was stunned!

He really concealed his face so much!

Without seeing someone so eye-catching with all the concealment, he wouldn’t have understood how he appeared in the eyes of others…

Especially with the robot cat printed on Lu Xiaoyu’s t-s.h.i.+rt!

Now that he had the time and mood to ponder about other things, Lu Shu felt troubled on the spot!

But it wasn’t appropriate to remove the s.h.i.+rt now. Instead of being so stressed over the pride he might put aside, he could carry on wearing it. After all, his face was already hidden…

Just then, as he was still some distance from that person, he thought of something. The other party hid his ident.i.ty like himself, could it be because he had something valuable in possession?

It was very possible!

Lu Shu observed the other party. He was sitting at his stall quietly and everything on display was common, nothing special or with magical waves. He didn’t have much of a reaction whenever someone went over to check out his stuff as well.

But Lu Shu still felt that there was something wrong.

Lu Shu found a random stall and squatted down to conceal his prolonged observation of the person. The stall owner in front of him hasn’t had a customer the entire day and the moment he saw Lu Shu checking out his stuff, he was extremely pa.s.sionate, “Young man, everything I have here is good stuff. This bronze sculpture is an ancient treasure. Have you seen “Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds”? This item’s from that dynasty! This might even be owned by the great Jiang Ziya…”

Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds, really… Lu Shu was rather annoyed. His gaze landed at the owner with a mask not far away occasionally. He conveniently responded, “That dynasty? Do you mean the previous week?”

The stall owner’s face turned black, “How could you say something like that!”

“From…”

At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly realized. He was too focused on observing the items that he neglected a more important aspect: there were magical waves coming from this guy.

This was a pract.i.tioner, a low-leveled pract.i.tioner!

With more specific observation, this guy had some grey hair and quite a number of wrinkles on his exposed forehead. He seemed rather aged, probably about 40+ years old?

Lu Shu walked over slowly and squatted down in front of his stall to observe his items. He then asked casually, “Boss, do you have anything real?”

“No,” The middle-aged man replied calmly. He didn’t have the slightest tinge of pa.s.sion. Instead, it felt as if he was observing Lu Shu coldly from the side.

Lu Shu thought that since he could see him, Lu Shu could look at him too.

The two concealed people looked at each other through their eyes. One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

Haha, there’s a game which you might not have heard of, it’s called whoever blinks first loses…

I, Lu Shu, don’t ever lose…

“From Li Dian’s distress, +4+9+2…”

Li Dian rubbed his eyes, feeling as if he just encountered something weird…

Lu Shu suddenly said, “You probably slipped through the cracks.”

He didn’t seem to be someone from the heavenly network. At his age, this guy obviously wasn’t from daoyuan cla.s.s and his ability was so low he probably just got to cla.s.s F. How could there be such a person in the heavenly network? Xi Fei and the rest were picked specially from the army.

Moreover, the other party didn’t have the slightest tinge of military aura. On the contrary, he exuded the aura of a nerd and really looked incompatible with his stall.

Li Dian’s expression did not change, but he understood what Lu Shu meant clearly.

“From Li Dian’s distress, +523!”

The other party was guarded, but Lu Shu understood everything the moment he received the distress points.

He said bluntly, “Rest a.s.sured, I have no intention of bringing you back. I just want to know what you brought to the black market, or… what do you want to buy?”

Just as he finished, Lu Shu revealed a corner of his military identification card. This way, he didn’t reveal his full ident.i.ty. There were now many pract.i.tioners with military identifications.

Li Dian deliberated for a long while. Having slipped through the cracks and avoided notice, he had finally encountered someone from the heavenly network. Naturally, he had a distaste for and shunned him but Lu Shu’s military identification gave him an intense pressure.

“I only trade magical stones,” Li Dian said softly.

Lu Shu hesitated for a moment. He could feel that the other party had hopes for magical stones. Was he planning to use magical stones to support his training?

He needed magical stones because his training progress was too slow. But he couldn’t afford them, so he’s trading?

Lu Shu thought of a few possibilities in an instant. He then said, “I have a magical stone. But trading depends on how valuable your item is.”
