Lu Yu’s response sent the surrounding crowd into an instant uproar.
“Did I hear that right?!” someone exclaimed in astonishment, surely their ears weren’t playing tricks on them!
“Mr. Lu, is what you said true?” Someone shouted excitedly, staring at Lu Yu with eyes that seemed ready to shoot flames.
“Special items can be exchanged for Star Spirit Stones. How special do they have to be?”
Just as they had surrounded Lin Ting, these people now charged疯狂ly toward Lu Yu.
Naturally, they all knew that special items could also yield valuable rewards.
However, they truly had no way to break into the mines controlled by the monopolist.
Then exchanging special items for Star Spirit Stones would still be a fair deal for them.
After all, the Star Spirit Stones could also enhance their strength.
“Everyone should now understand how to use the Star Soul to check who the original dropper of the mutated Star Spirit Pearl and the Soldier Soul was, right?” Lu Yu asked with a smile.
“Yes,” someone nodded. At the beginning, someone used the Spirit Star Bead dropped by the Magic Ape to impersonate the one dropped by the Black Magic Wolf and sold it at a high price. However, a person with this kind of ability in Star Soul exposed the fraud, and then the news spread throughout the camp.
Now, practically everyone in the entire camp knows about it.
Lu Yu continued, “As long as I consider something relatively special, it works. I can use this same approach to identify those unique ones, right?”
“Oh!”
At once, the people around first froze in surprise, then quickly understood.
They automatically ignored the latter half of the sentence.
The key part of the first half of the sentence is the three characters “I think.”
This indicated that the mine owner had already trusted Lu Yu, and the mine representative no longer needed to get involved in any matters.
Selling Star Soul Stones and acquiring special items; all of these have already been handed over to Lu Yu.
This is no longer just ordinary trust.
It was even sending them a signal that, from now on, Lu Yu would be in charge of all external transactions related to the mine.
Lu Yu is very strong!
Many people already know about his impressive feat of taking on the魔人猿 in one-on-one combat!
Even he dares not challenge the mine owner; just how powerful is that person?
Lu Yu is very proud, and it’s unlikely that he will back down.
Certainly, there’s an even more likely possibility!
The thought of this possibility made many people’s scalps tingle and caused cold sweat to pour down their bodies.
The person from the mine already demonstrated what true strength means to many people through combat yesterday.
As for Lu Yu’s strength, it was equally beyond doubt.
That person was focused on mining, while Lu Yu was responsible for external sales.
This, this—
People at the camp felt parched and couldn’t even bear to think about it.
This is not trust; it’s collusion!
Two people are always better than one.
With the combat strength Lu Yu has demonstrated, combined with the financial resources of that person from the mine.
If these two were to join forces, along with the barrier outside the mine, even if the army doubled its numbers, could they withstand the two attacking the enemy ranks at the same time and kill the commander?
No wonder, no wonder that man shouted such a bold claim that this city belonged to him.
No matter which reason it was, Lu Yu had become someone no one dared to offend in this city.
With just one word from Lu Yu, this Star Spirit Stone might never fall into their hands.
They thought they had figured everything out, and their expressions became even more expectant.
“When will the collection of special items begin?”
“He has some other things to take care of these two days, so he’s afraid he won’t have time to deal with these matters. It should be okay in about three days.”
Lu Yu said, “I came here ahead of time to inform you all. You might as well use this time to hunt a bit more. If you obtain any special items, they can be priced in Star Spirit Stones.”
“We understand, we understand.”
Some people have already started packing their luggage, while others have begun forming teams.
They now had another way to obtain star crystals, so they no longer had to worry about the daily limit of twenty. Their hearts finally felt at ease.
Not until most people around had left did I notice that Lin Ting was talking to a little girl.
Xiaoxiao—
Where has this little girl been? How come she showed up at the camp after just one day’s absence?
A delicate and beautiful young woman stood beside a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll.
Such a scene can only be described as delightful to the eye.
Late autumn has passed, and the weather has turned cooler.
However, the weather in the south was not yet very cold.
Xiao Xiao was wearing slightly tight jeans, a thin loose sweater, and still carrying her pink backpack.
The backpack was carefully arranged, with not a speck of dust or a trace of blood on it.
Lin Ting was still dressed in loose sportswear, which concealed her alluring figure.
Two beautiful women stood aside, chatting happily.
Xiao Xiao wore an expression of innocence, purity, and cuteness.
Lu Yu’s forehead was covered with dark lines.
That little girl really didn’t bat an eyelid when she committed murder.
“Big sister, you’re so beautiful!”
“Big sister, your hair looks really nice.”
“Big sister, your skin is so smooth…”
The little girl, Xiaoxiao, hopped around Lin Ting like a cheerful bird, her sweet words making Lin Ting constantly pat Xiaoxiao’s head while asking her all sorts of questions.
After Lu Yu finished his task, Lin Ting nodded at him with a smile.
Xiaoxiao pretended not to know Lu Yu and blinked her big eyes, asking, “Big brother, is it really possible to exchange special items for Star Spirit Stones?”
“Yes, if you have one too, you can exchange it as well,” Lu Yu nodded with a smile.
I’m very satisfied with this girl’s performance.
“You two, do you really think I know nothing?” Lin Ting looked at Lu Yu, frowning. “Could you please stop treating me like an idiot?”
Lu Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
What kind of heart does this woman have anyway? Could she have already figured it out?
Lin Ting looked at Lu Yu with a hint of anger, tightly biting her lower lip as she said, “A few days ago, I saw this little girl alone in the city hunting, and she even had a star weapon. At that time, weren’t Star Spirit Stones still not available for sale?”
“This—”
Lu Yu thought to himself, “I really shouldn’t have given that girl a star soldier.”
Lin Ting’s expression carried a hint of blame as she said, “Don’t tell me you’re not aware of the truth behind these stories—Xiao Xiao entering the mine, her obtaining the Star Soul Stone from the monster by chance. Do you really believe that a girl barely in her teens could accomplish such things?”
Sigh—”
Lu Yu thought he had fooled everyone, but in the end, even the most careful plan had its flaw.
Actually, Lu Yu only intended to admit that he had saved Xiao Xiao and given him a Star Spirit Stone.
“Lu Yu, the world has changed. I can’t stop what you’re doing, but I don’t want you to lie to me. At the very least, you never used to…”
Lin Ting’s eyes turned red, tears welling up and glistening, her heart aching a little.
“What did I lie to you about? You can’t stop anything,” Lu Yu said, completely confused. What was going on? Where did this come from?
Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed Lin Ting’s hand and coquettishly shook it, saying, “Lin Sister, please don’t blame Uncle Lu anymore. Actually, it was Dad’s idea to let people know about my identity. He wanted us to pretend we didn’t know each other while we’re outside.”
Uncle Lu?
Lu Yu’s forehead was now covered with more black lines. This situation had suddenly become a lot more complicated.
It seems, it seems the problem has become a bit bigger again.
Xiao Xiao said shyly, lowering her head and kicking the ground with the tip of her shoe, “Actually, actually, the mine owner you were talking about is my father.”
“Uh.”
Lu Yu was almost scared to death by Xiao Xiao.
Little girl, could you please stop scaring me like that!
This generation is even bigger!
Do you think Lin Ting will believe it? You’re just pushing me further into the fire.
Now it’s all good, but how should I put this.
“Oh!”
Lin Ting deduced from the star soldier that the two knew each other, but the Lu Yu he imagined was a good person.
But when Xiao Xiao and Lu Yu pretended not to know each other, Lin Ting felt a sharp pain in her heart. She suspected that there was something going on between the two that they didn’t want her to know.
This is the real reason why Lin Ting was angry.
Few women could resist being captivated by Lu Yu’s cold expression and those eyes. How could a young girl, just beginning to experience her first stirrings of love, possibly withstand such charm?
Or perhaps Lu Yu preferred younger girls but didn’t want others to notice his preference. He used his good looks to manipulate Xiaoxiao, making her deliberately act as if she didn’t know him in front of others.
She was angry about these things.
Xiao Xiao’s words, however, made Lin Ting pause for a moment, as this secret was too astonishing.
If that’s the case, it makes sense that Lu Yu knows Xiao Xiao.
When Lu Yu saw Lin Ting’s expression, he knew that Lin Ting had truly believed it.
Can this actually deceive someone?
Xiao Xiao said in a hushed, mysterious tone, “Lin Sister, you know what I mean. If others find out that I know Uncle Lu, they might try to capture me and use me to threaten him. They could even figure out my connection with the mine. In that case, my dad would definitely never let me leave. So, Lin Sister, you must promise to keep this a secret for me.”
A smile returned to Lin Ting’s face, carrying a sense of relief and lightness.
Lu Yu, seeing that Lin Ting believed him, immediately nodded and said, “Sigh, it’s not that I wanted to pretend; I had no other choice.”
Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders, wearing an expression of helplessness.
Lin Ting realized she had misunderstood Lu Yu. Her face slightly flushed, she lowered her head a little and spoke in a soft voice, “I’m sorry. Just now, I thought you liked someone younger.”
“Uh…”
Lu Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning a million times in an instant.
This is way too wrong.
“However, now I know you still didn’t lie to me,” Lin Ting raised her head and smiled at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu murmured to himself: I didn’t say anything at all; Xiaoxiao was the one who lied to you.
“As long as there’s no misunderstanding.” Lu Yu wished he could leave right away.
Only heaven knows what other shocking “revelations” Xiao Xiao might come up with next.
Anyway, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, so that’s all that matters.
After greeting the two beautiful women, Lu Yu took a round around the camp and prepared to leave.
“Sister, Uncle Lu moved a lot of the food from the warehouse to the mine. I took some out for you to eat,” the little girl said with a mischievous grin at Lu Yu, then pulled out sausages and canned goods from her small backpack.
Okay.
Once the relationship becomes too close, your personal belongings are surely doomed to suffer.
Anyway, it’s two tons; we can’t finish it all.
It’s up to you!
Lu Yu was about to leave the stadium when he was blocked by more than a dozen people outside.
“Kid, are you from Fanggang?” one of them, the leader, blocked Lu Yu’s path and asked.
“Yes, what’s the problem?” Lu Yu hadn’t seen this person at the camp before, so he took a couple of extra glances.
“Do you know who the strongest person here is? Just tell us,” one person said arrogantly, “and also let us know who is occupying the mine.”
