Lu Yu is not just greedy; he is terrifyingly greedy.
Sometimes Lu Yu wished he could become a king in an instant, or even surpass the king.
Unfortunately, this is just a fantasy.
Therefore, in order to become stronger, he felt as though he were a bottomless abyss.
He is willing to gather everything good around him and then make use of it for himself.
The old man unhesitatingly listed ten primary materials for crafting the Star Artifact.
Lu Yu immediately associated this with the enormous power of the Si Jiucheng, suspecting that there must be more to it than just this.
“What do you want to do?” the old man asked instinctively.
But then he understood.
“How many star artifact ingredients do you have?” Lu Yu stared at the blood-colored treasures like a hungry beast, his eyes turning red.
When the old man was fixed with such a gaze, he couldn’t help but feel a shiver in his heart and said, “You want to take it by force?”
Lu Yu scoffed, “Hmph, why should I bother snatching? I want it all!”
“That won’t do,” the old man immediately understood everything and smiled. “To others, collecting these items is worthless since they can’t forge a star artifact. However, I believe they can be extremely useful to you. If I sell everything to you in one transaction, how can I trade with you in the future? I think no matter when, as a star artifact creator, you will always offer the best exchange for the main ingredients, won’t you?”
“I think it’s unlikely to get any better than this in the future,” Lu Yu said. “How much time do you think we still have left for trading? Wang Zun has already begun to gradually regain his strength, and figures like Richard, who is a Wang Zun, have started to appear. I believe the King won’t be far behind.”
“That’s also impossible. Sitting in this position, I think the most important thing is to be patient,” the old man said with a smile. “If you remain calm and patient in everything you do, in the end, I will be the one who wins.”
“Do you want peace?” Lu Yu, without hesitation, took out a golden chest from his storage space. The chest was ten feet long, five feet wide, and five feet high. He placed it upright on the ground and said, “Then take a look at this piece of equipment. If you still refuse to trade afterward, consider I’ve said nothing at all.”
The smile on the old man’s face vanished instantly, and he stared in shock at the box.
If Lu Yu said so, he must be confident about it.
The old man opened the box, and inside, a golden heavy armor was fixed to the bottom.
This is a thick golden armor, with only partial beast carvings adorning its surface.
Just looking at this heavy armor, it is undoubtedly a masterpiece of art.
Every joint and every detail of the heavy armor is so perfectly crafted, as if it were carved by the most precise machine—you cannot find the slightest flaw.
The old man couldn’t help but exclaim “Good!” when facing such armor.
The longer he stayed in his position, the more things he was exposed to.
He has an eye for art that rivals that of a connoisseur.
This heavy armor is a perfect work of art, and it is absolutely unique.
Even if it is not a genuine piece of armor, it is still a rare and valuable collectible.
The old man didn’t think that Lu Yu wanted to give him an artwork to win his heart.
When the old man’s hand gently stroked the heavy armor, an unprecedented brilliance suddenly shone in his eyes.
At that moment, his hands couldn’t help but tremble, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
The old man immediately turned his head to look at Lu Yu, exclaiming in surprise, “How many of these armors do you have?”
“Can you still stay calm?” A faint smile curved at the corner of Lu Yu’s mouth.
This is the armor of King Zunkun, the One-Eyed. This armor was created before he reached his ultimate peak.
This was armor of a caliber far exceeding even the thousands of suits he had sold before.
Each of these traits—the highest talent among the one-eyed race, powerful attributes, and damage reduction effects—is impressive enough on its own.
If even this couldn’t move the old man’s heart, perhaps only the Star Device would work.
“This is the best armor you have now?” The old man withdrew his hand, trying to calm himself, and asked solemnly, “How many pieces of armor like this do you have?”
Lu Yu retorted, “How many main star-ore ingredients do you have?”
The old man said, “If you have a hundred sets of armor like this, I might consider a one-time transaction with you.”
Lu Yu sneered upon hearing this, “If you only have a hundred sets of main starcraft materials, there’s no need to make a deal. Even for a starcraft, I only want the best ones. I’ll pass on the ordinary main starcraft materials.”
“Little one, you’re really greedy,” the old man couldn’t help but suck in a breath, saying with slight anger: “Even the main material of a Star Artifact you consider too ordinary?”
Lu Yu sneered coldly, “Old man, you underestimate me too much. I have seen and possessed many, many treasures. I have always been collecting the finest star-ore as the main material for star artifacts. Do you really think I would cast my eyes on ordinary star-ore?”
The old man thought about it and realized that it made sense.
Lu Yu really doesn’t lack money.
From the Evolution Serum to the Evolution Pill, and now the armor as well, he has monopolized even the forging of Star Soldiers.
Port of Fangchenggang really doesn’t lack money.
Moreover, the war they launched together with the heavily armored warriors brought in several thousand billion star spirit stones, and raiding Japan once might have brought in an immeasurable amount of wealth.
When you have too much money, it becomes just a number.
Just like how wealthy people enjoy collecting luxury items such as high-end cars or diamonds.
You always want the best; it’s such a common problem.
The old man hesitated, then finally looked up and asked, “Lu Yu, can you provide one thousand sets of armor like this right now?”
Lu Yu shook his head and said, “One thousand pieces are impossible, but two hundred pieces won’t be a problem.”
“Alright.” The old man said solemnly, “Within three days, bring me one hundred suits of armor like this one, along with the other two thousand suits, and I’ll let you freely explore the treasure house of the city. Whatever you set your eyes on, we can exchange items. How about that?”
“Alright.” Lu Yu let out a hearty laugh, extended his hand, and said, “Within three days, I’ll come find you in Sijiu City!”
“No. I’ll wait for you here for these three days.”
The old man didn’t want to leave; his heart was beating rather rapidly.
He wanted to see the armor as soon as possible to feel reassured.
“No problem,” Lu Yu shook hands with the old man, sealing the deal, and then turned around immediately and entered the core area.
As soon as he entered the core area, the得意 smile on his face could no longer be restrained.
Trading with him for armor, now he’s making a fortune without any cost.
The one-eyed clan’s method of crafting armor is truly against the heavens.
Stars, sand, and air can all be forged into armor.
As long as the required consumption is met, even the most worthless gravel can be forged into the ultimate armor with a defense value of millions.
However, such consumption would likely require the mountains across an area as vast as ten cities to be refined and transformed.
And in the starry sky given to Lu Yu by the Celestial Organization, what never runs out is the air and starlight!
These two are infinite, equivalent to Lu Yu not investing a single penny, and were completely crafted by the geniuses of the One-Eyed Clan.
Kun’s current speed, if measured in quantity rather than quality, could easily produce more than ten pieces of armor inferior to the Golden Armor in a single day.
Occasionally, when the ten geniuses of the One-Eyed Clan crafted armor, they also produced exceptional pieces comparable to the armor Kun currently made.
As for those ordinary suits of armor, if Kun were willing, producing a hundred or so in a day would not be a problem.
Although the attributes of these armors are inferior to that of the Golden Armor.
After all, that was the best armor Kun could create using his current maximum capabilities, and producing even one piece a day was already pushing it.
But it’s different with Lu Yu around.
Lu Yu’s soldier-refining techniques, combined with the star-summoning arts and further tempered with the essence of hellfire.
Besides the star artifacts, Kun’s greatest masterpiece was a piece of armor with a million defense points, crafted without using any star artifact materials. This armor possessed power comparable to the skills of a King.
Moreover, Kun also possesses the Star-Calling Art.
The power of the stars was simultaneously infused through the two major Star-Calling techniques.
With everyone’s combined effort, creating hundreds of items of the same quality as the Golden Armor would be no problem at all.
It’s no problem for three days to produce one hundred pieces of armor that provide the same protection as what elders have seen; moreover, adding another two thousand pieces of armor with tens of thousands of defense points is entirely feasible.
Therefore, Lu Yu readily agreed.
In the following days, Lu Yu worked together with Kun and others under this starry sky.
One by one, armor pieces were condensed by Kun and others, infused with energy once more, and then tempered by Lu Yu—this entire process was so extraordinary.
Three days later—
Lu Yu brought two thousand one hundred pieces of armor to the old man.
Without even glancing at them, the old man collected all the armor and said, “Come, I’ll take you back to the city!”
The old man said so, but his body was somewhat trembling.
What he now holds in his hands is not merely armor, but also over two thousand powerful King Venerate-level skills.
This value could buy up almost half of Huaxia.
How could he not be nervous with so much money on him?
Without Lu Yu by his side, the elderly man would not have dared to leave the harbor with his bodyguard.
Whoever grabs it will strike it rich.
As soon as the old man and Lu Yu entered the city of Sijiu, they were spotted by members of the law enforcement team.
The bodyguards accompanying the elderly man were one thing, but Lu Yu’s appearance had already made him a recognizable figure throughout the city.
This madman went around the city twice and committed murder on two separate occasions.
Especially the second time, when the city trembled from the sheer might of it—the image of that colossal ten-thousand-zhang-long venomous dragon body and its terrifying power that split the heavens has been deeply etched into the hearts of countless people.
“Oh my God, he, he’s back again,” someone wailed in despair, lying in the corner of the wall, trembling like someone naked standing in a freezing snowstorm.
Many people may not be familiar with the elderly, but they certainly know Lu Yu.
Nowadays, many young men in the city know Lu Yu’s appearance so well that they might even recognize him more easily than their own parents.
Even in the heart of the city, it’s not safe to encounter Lu Yu in Huaxia.
Therefore, if you want to survive in this world, the best way is to remember Lu Yu’s appearance clearly, even more vividly than your own father, so you won’t offend this madman and lose your life.
So Lu Yu arrived, and as a result, within half an hour the entire city was filled with cries of anguish.
“I want to go home. I can’t stay in this city anymore,” someone said, clearly under great stress and in a discouraged tone. “Why is Lu Yu here again?”
“I hope the city won’t be thrown into chaos again, right?”
“Hurry, hurry, find out quickly. Make sure to figure out who it was that provoked Lu Yu this time.”
Lu Yu wouldn’t come to Sijiu City easily if he had nothing to do.
Although I knew very well that nothing would happen as long as I didn’t offend Lu Yu.
But these young masters were still worried that Lu Yu was still in the city and wanted to know when Lu Yu would leave!
