Lu Yu threw down a sentence and left from the crowd.
The crowd parted, creating a passage several meters wide.
Just as the rumors suggested, Lu Yu truly fears no one, not even the military personnel. He is indeed a madman.
This is the largest power in the post-apocalyptic world, capable of gathering tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of soldiers at will. It is a force feared by the rulers of every city.
There are even rumors that many controllers are surrendering a certain amount of star spirit stones and various supplies to the military in exchange for their support.
Offending the army is not a good thing!
Gu Lei looked at Lu Yu’s back with a faint smile on his stern face and said, “Interesting. Actually, there’s someone so bold. It seems this city is really going to become lively.”
Liu Xiaotian seemed to want to say something, but hesitated. Finally, he furrowed his brow and fell into deep thought.
…
Lu Yu walked into the city, as if returning to a bustling metropolis once again.
On the streets, various luxury cars whizzed by.
Various shops stand side by side, while the aroma of wine and dishes drifts out from the restaurants one after another.
Lu Yu, who hadn’t had a proper meal in a long time, couldn’t help but enter a restaurant and sat at the nearest table by the window. At that moment, a male waiter immediately approached him.
Lu Yu glanced at the crowded tavern and the colorful array of dishes, then asked, “Are these kinds of meat and vegetables still being produced by people nowadays?”
His question caught the server off guard.
Then the waiter laughed and said, “Sir, don’t joke around like that—it’s really not funny at all. Since the celestial system was put into operation, we’ve had an endless supply of these items; there’s absolutely no need for cultivation anymore. Everyone knows this, so please don’t make jokes. Are you dining alone now, or would you like to make a reservation?”
A shiver ran through Lu Yu’s heart. Upon hearing the term “Celestial God System,” he originally wanted to ask further questions, but then he frowned and dismissed the thought. Could this “Celestial God System” be the same thing Liu Xiaotian and the others had mentioned? What exactly was it? Could it actually produce food out of nowhere?
“Then braised pork, braised sea bass, rice…” Lu Yu ordered six or seven dishes in a row, followed by half a catty of rice.
The waiter looked at Lu Yu in surprise and said, “Sir, are you sure you can eat all this?”
“You serve your dishes; how much I eat is my own business,” Lu Yu said with a frown. “Why are you talking so much?”
“Uh…” The waiter smiled awkwardly, realizing he had overstepped a bit, and calculated the total: “It comes to one thousand Grade One Star Spirit Beads.”
“This is so expensive!” Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise, looking at the waiter and asking, “How can ordinary people afford to spend money here?”
The server smiled somewhat forcedly and said in a slightly angry tone: “Sir, please pay first! This place is not meant for ordinary people to consume.”
This time, the waiter was still smiling, but there was indeed a hint of disdain towards Lu Yu, subtly implying a desire for him to leave.
Someone who finds even a thousand Grade 1 Star Spirit Beads expensive probably came to the wrong place.
Thinking again about the way Lu Yu ordered dishes, it was as if he were a hungry ghost who had just been reborn!
It’s been years since I last ate meat. As soon as I earn a bit of money, I want to come here to splurge, but it turns out I didn’t bring enough cash. There are plenty of people like me!
How could Lu Yu fail to notice the change in the waiter’s tone? He couldn’t help but sneer coldly, “It seems that no matter what era we’re in, human nature never changes! One thousand Star Spirit Beads—hurry up and bring the dishes!”
Lu Yu raised his hand, and instantly a thousand grade-one Star Spirit Beads were pulled out from the warehouse and placed on the table.
His techniques were like magic, making the waiters think they were seeing things.
However, upon seeing the Star Spirit Pearl, the server’s face once again broke into a warm and friendly smile.
Lu Yu was not short of Star Spirit Beads. Over the past two months, the number of Star Spirit Beads he had consumed in the Demon City, when converted to Level 1 Star Spirit Beads, amounted to several hundred thousand.
In his warehouse, Xiaoxiao sells Grade One Star Spirits, and the Star Spirit Pearls he has collected in return are already piled up like mountains.
At least a million pieces.
Running short of money?
This issue will never arise with him.
However, money is not easy to earn.
Lu Yu also remembered the hardship he endured in the beginning, striving desperately for a single Star Spirit Pearl!
While Lu Yu was talking with the waiter, two people sitting at a table near the kitchen door in the restaurant noticed him, and a flicker of surprise crossed their faces.
“Will this person do?” an elderly man, looking to be in his fifties, turned to the young man beside him and asked.
“As soon as he entered, my Star Soul stirred slightly. His Star Soul should also be a mutated type, just like ours. At least his power isn’t strong enough, but he can at least make up the numbers.”
“I never expected there would be a third mutated Star Soul appearing in this city. That leaves just two more left,” the old man chuckled. “Let’s go talk to him later. If he’s strong enough, we’ll give him a share; if not, we’ll just eliminate him.”
…
The food was served quickly.
The food tastes good and is worth the price.
Lu Yu hadn’t tasted such delicious food in a long time. He wasn’t eating quickly, instead savoring the flavor of the dishes slowly.
Once you leave this city, you might not get to taste such delicacies for a long time.
Just as Lu Yu was having his meal at the small table, four people—three men and one woman—walked through the main entrance of the tavern.
As the four of them entered the restaurant, the waiters’ expressions changed dramatically.
Even the diners inside the tavern fell silent and stopped talking.
Seeing the person who looked like a manager, he quickly ran up to the four people, nodding and bowing to the three men. “Team Leaders,” he said, “what a surprise to see you here today?”
“It’s none of your business. We’re here to find someone,” the leader said arrogantly, pushing the manager aside. His gaze swept across the restaurant and finally landed on Lu Yu.
“Is it this person?” He pointed at Lu Yu, asking the people behind him.
“That’s him!” one of the men nodded slightly and said, “Exactly right.”
People around felt a chill in the air, sensing that something significant was about to happen.
Originally, there was a waiter standing near Lu Yu, but now he quietly moved backward.
The diners in the tavern stared in shock as the four individuals approached Lu Yu, their hearts pounding with suspense.
The manager wanted to step forward and stop him, but after a moment’s thought, he dared not.
“How could this person possibly offend the Sunset Alliance?”
“An organization that controls one-third of the Xingling mines in Nanjing and even the military gives them some respect—dare anyone in Nanjing provoke them?”
“Oh no, this person is definitely done for!”
Many people look at Lu Yu as if he were already dead.
In Nanjing, how many people could survive until the next day after offending the Sunset Alliance?
The four people walked up to Lu Yu, their expressions serious and solemn.
Lu Yu was still savoring his meal delicately; he merely cast a brief glance toward the newcomers as they entered.
After that, no one ever saw Lu Yu or the others again.
When the four of them stood before Lu Yu, he looked up coldly and said, “I’m eating. Talk to me after I finish. If you’re working with Gu Lei, you can make your move now!”
Wow!
A loud buzz of discussion arose from all around.
“Is this guy a madman or an idiot, daring to speak to the Sunset Alliance like that!”
“Oh no, this is certain death.”
People thought they would soon see blood splattered on the ground and had already widened their eyes in anticipation.
But then, what they saw next was enough to make their mouths open wide enough to swallow an apple whole!
The four of them respectfully bowed and said, “Mr. Lu, our leader hopes you can find time to come by and have a seat.”
As he spoke, one of them reached into his robe and pulled out a golden invitation card, which he respectfully presented with both hands.
“Put it there, you can leave now. Go back and tell him that since he knows about me, if there’s anything he needs me to do, he should come in person. I won’t discuss prices with anyone else.” Lu Yu pointed to a corner of the table and continued eating his meal.
One of them, seeing Lu Yu’s arrogant attitude, frowned in displeasure and said, “Mr. Lu, we’ve already been very polite. Or are you answering us with such an attitude? In this city, no one dares to treat us this way. Even if the leader invited you, it’s only because he values you; it doesn’t really mean you have the qualification to command us like this.”
Lu Yu slightly raised his head toward the speaker and said, “Then don’t you know it’s impolite to interrupt someone while they’re eating?”
The speaker’s face turned dark with anger as he coldly said, “Mr. Lu, I’ve heard of your great skills. They say you charged across the bridge just now and cut down seven level-three peak demon soldiers. I’m really eager to find out what makes you so special. You see, I’m a bit slow, and it was only recently that I reached the fifth level of Star Soul, which is why I was considered qualified to come and meet you. It’s my honor, and I wonder, Mr. Lu, if you would do me the favor of granting me this opportunity?”
The speaker’s tone was icy, each word clear, and everyone in the entire hotel heard it.
It was already surprising enough that these people showed such respectful attitudes toward Lu Yu.
What was said next made all the diners stand up and look at Lu Yu carefully.
The two people in the corner were slightly astonished, exchanged a glance, and stood up as well.
“He, he actually killed seven level-three peak hell soldiers?” The waiter, who had looked down on Lu Yu just moments ago, nearly dropped to the ground in shock. Staring at Lu Yu, he simply couldn’t see how this person resembled someone capable of killing seven魔兵.
During this period, they had suffered so many losses from these demon soldiers that they had come to regard the monsters as almost invincible. Yet this person alone had already killed seven of them.
Was this person also a Fifth-Level Star Soul?
“Shen Hai is already a fifth-level Star Soul. Goodness, did I hear that right?”
People in the tavern began to step back, fearing that if these two started a fight, the innocent bystanders might get caught in the crossfire.
“I’m not interested in sparring with you. But if it’s about killing, then I’m all in!” Lu Yu looked at Shen Hai and said, “If you’re eager to die, go ahead and make your move!”
Shen Hai, being stared at by Lu Yu like that, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!
Even Shen Hai suddenly felt a surge of fear in his heart, as if afraid of Lu Yu’s words.
However, Shen Hai quickly suppressed his fear, and he felt even more ashamed because of this slight hesitation.
“Then I’d like to see with my own eyes what makes you think you can kill me.” Shen Hai took a step forward and reached his hand toward Lu Yu’s shoulder.
Shen Hai’s movement was quick. Halfway through extending his hand…
Lu Yu raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp, electric glare as he roared, “Die!”
As Lu Yu shouted, his left hand rose and slashed downward.
Vroom!
Ten three-foot-long cyan swords flew out from Lu Yu’s hands, cleaving down from above Shen Hai’s head and shoulders.
Then, the long sword slashed out from Shen Hai’s abdomen.
Fast as lightning, his attack surged like a dragon!
Lu Yu’s upward strike was over in an instant, from start to finish.
Many people suffocated.
They saw Shen Hai’s body being struck by long swords, but they did not know where those swords had come from.
Bang!
Shen Hai’s body exploded, instantly shattering into more than ten pieces, with blood splattering in all directions.
“One, one move!” someone’s voice trembled and distorted, their whole body going weak and limp!
“He killed the leader of the Sunset Alliance, cutting down a fifth-level star soul in a single move!” someone cried in shock.
