Chapter 16: This Actually Works!

Lu Yu bluntly stopped the seven people from approaching, causing them to look slightly astonished.

But soon they understood.

This era is different from before; everyone must be cautious to survive.

Especially after just experiencing a battle, their health points are even lower.

If someone approached him at this moment, his situation would be dangerous.

The person in front of them saved them, but that doesn’t mean they are friends.

The eyes of the six men revealed fear.

Thinking about Lu Yu’s ferocity just now, it was so strange. Even without a knife in his hand, his hands were as sharp as blades, cutting through the black wolf’s flesh and blood.

The graceful young woman didn’t seem afraid at all. She looked at Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, I won’t arrest you today.”

“Oh, come on, Officer Lin,” Lu Yu laughed. “Don’t joke around here. You’ve always said you’d arrest me, but how many times have you actually succeeded? Now you want to arrest me again—how many lives are you planning to sacrifice this time?”

As he spoke, Lu Yu’s face suddenly darkened. He said, “Do you really think you can stop me, even if there were seven more of you?”

The cold, intense battle aura emanating from Lu Yu caused the six men to involuntarily inhale sharply.

The woman’s face turned slightly red, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed with anger. “Then if you have the courage, don’t run away. Let’s see if I can catch you today.”

Lu Yu didn’t hold back at all and said, “Don’t think that I’ve suddenly had a change of heart and decided to save you today! I’m not that kind-hearted. I just wanted to test Black Wolf’s strength. After all, we’ll inevitably encounter this kind of Black Wolf eventually; the earlier we understand them and gather more information, the easier it will be for us to survive.”

Lu Yu’s words suddenly reminded the woman of something.

The woman fell silent for a moment, then suddenly changed her tone and asked, “Have you obtained the information about Heilang (Black Wolf)?”

“If we’ve already killed the wolf, isn’t it all for nothing if we still don’t get the materials?”

“Have you ever thought about selling the information on Black Wolf?” the woman suddenly asked.

The woman’s words left Lu Yu momentarily stunned.

The other six people were first taken aback, then quickly realized what had happened and looked at the woman with admiration.

Lu Yu looked at the woman in front of him in surprise and said, “I said, Lin Ting, Officer Lin, you want to buy information on Black Wolf?”

Lu Yu wasn’t a fool either. By the time the woman spoke these words, he had already figured out her thoughts.

Information regarding these monsters.

Reconstruction data can only be obtained during combat.

However, if a weak individual encounters it, the chance of being killed is extremely high.

Just like this time, he successfully killed the Black Magic Wolf, and naturally he could obtain the most complete data.

If others had access to this data, they could develop countermeasures.

When encountering a situation, whether to flee or fight can be completely determined based on these data, without blindly sacrificing oneself.

Therefore, purchasing these materials is particularly important for people living in this special period.

“Of course we should buy it,” Lin Ting replied.

“But, whether you buy it through the camp or on your own, the price is the same, right?”

“Okay,” Lin Ting nodded, smiling lightly. “The price of the information varies depending on the monster’s strength. I assume you have no objections, right?”

Lu Yu agreed, saying, “Officer Lin, it’s a real waste that you’re not in business. You actually came up with such a clever idea.”

“Now, since the city hasn’t changed for a long time either, and people haven’t accumulated many items, the exchange won’t involve much. For the first trade, Black Wolf’s information plus twenty Star Spirit Beads—what do you think?”

“A piece of Xingling stone’s price, huh?” Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, “Deal.”

Lu Yu had indeed obtained the information, but he had never thought of using this method to make money.

This is also information that was obtained by chance and must be acquired. Keeping these files in one’s possession won’t generate any money. Although considering Black Demon Wolf’s strength, the price for selling such information isn’t high. However, in the early stages, no one could possibly have too many Star Spirit Beads. Thus, this price isn’t low, yet it isn’t high either.

It is being sold now, and money can be made.

Especially the Star Spirit Pearl could also enhance the level of the star soul; during this period, even a slight increase in attack power made a significant difference.

Therefore, Lu Yu believed that selling the information was worth it.

Lin Ting collected twenty Star Spirit Beads from these people and handed them to Lu Yu.

After receiving it, Lu Yu informed the others about the attributes of the Black Magic Wolf.

“Two thousand life limit, one thousand stamina!”

Someone couldn’t help but inhale sharply, his voice trembling as he said, “I only have a maximum of 400 hit points and a little over 100 in physique. This black wolf is five times stronger than me—it would kill me in one hit.”

What the person said made the other five nod their heads vigorously.

It seems this deal turned out to be profitable.

They had always believed that the Black Wolf’s maximum life span was at most one thousand, and having five or six hundred in vitality and bones would already be quite good.

Without this information, they would have been in danger if they had encountered the Black Wolf.

This time, obtaining the information was extremely timely.

“Whether it’s true or not, we’ll find out the next time we encounter the Black Wolf,” Lin Ting remained cautious and did not easily believe Lu Yu’s words.

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Anyway, I’ve given you the materials.”

Lu Yu placed the Star Spirit Pearl properly and prepared to leave.

“Friend, are you selling the mutated Star Spirit Pearl in your hand?” At this moment, a man blocked Lu Yu’s path and said, “If you’re willing to sell, we’d like to buy it.”

They had just witnessed the Black Magic Wolf drop a Mutated Star Spirit Pearl, and upon learning about the skill of Wolf Transformation, they couldn’t resist taking a gamble to give it a try.

If Lu Yu were to trade, the skill he possesses would undoubtedly rank first among all the skills available at the camp.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve never considered selling,” Lu Yu said with a shake of his head and a smile.

He has the Eye of Truth, which allows him to see through the hidden secrets of the Star Spirit Pearl. Of course, he knows that the skill he desires is inside.

“What about your stone rod?” someone asked from behind, saying, “I suppose it should be a star weapon. If you’re willing to sell it, we’d like to offer thirty Star Spirit Pearls.”

Yesterday, Lu Yu showed up at the camp with a silver blade and a stone rod, sold the silver blade, and kept the stone rod.

At that time, they speculated that the stone stick in Lu Yu’s hand should be an even better Star Handle.

Otherwise, Lu Yu would not have sold the only star soldier.

Now that they had seen Lu Yu kill the Wolf Demon in one strike with the stone rod, they knew that the stone rod was no weak weapon either.

If the Mutated Star Spirit Pearl is unavailable, then the Star Soldier should be acceptable, right?

“Thirty Star Spirit Beads?” Lu Yu calculated for a moment and then said, “Forty, and I’ll sell them.”

This star soldier had decent attributes when he first obtained it. However, now that he’s using it, Lu Yu has realized that it feels somewhat cumbersome and doesn’t suit his fighting style.

Moreover, with the presence of the weapon soul from that gauntlet, this weapon will eventually become obsolete. Taking this opportunity to sell it would be a good idea.

“Forty coins?” The group was taken aback, their hearts brimming with ecstatic joy.

If we get our hands on it, this would be the second star weapon in the camp.

Moreover, the attributes will be even better than Silver Blade.

A man suppressed his inner elation and said, “At the very least, you should tell us its attributes so we can see whether it’s worthwhile or not.”

“This is not a problem.” Lu Yu directly threw the stone rod to a few people.

Several people took turns examining the attributes of the stone staff, becoming even more excited.

“Does that mean that the stone axe is also a star weapon?” someone thought, recalling the stone axe in the hands of the wolf demon that Lu Yu had just killed.

“That’s right,” Lu Yu said as he walked over, picked up the stone axe, and glanced at its attributes. “It’s similar to the Wolf Demon Club you’re holding. Two of them for eighty Star Spirit Beads.”

“This…” the few people hesitated.

They can afford one, but they can’t come up with the money for two.

“Friend, do you think this would work?” one person said. “You also give us that stone axe. We’ll owe you for the price of forty. If we delay payment by one day, we’ll add two more star spirits, how about that? You will definitely come back to the camp in the future. Once we have collected enough star spirits, we will send someone to wait there from nine to ten every morning. You can come and check every day, and once we have collected enough, we will return it to you immediately. What do you think?”

Lu Yu looked at Lin Ting. He didn’t recognize any of these people. As for Lin Ting, he did know her.

The relationship isn’t very good, but we still know each other.

Lin Ting had been listening quietly on the side. Noticing Lu Yu glancing at her, she nodded and said, “You can rest assured about these people. They used to be soldiers too, so they wouldn’t stoop to stealing a few dozen Star Spirit Pearls from you.”

“Although our relationship isn’t really that great. Still, I believe in you,” Lu Yu said, throwing the stone axe to the other person.

“Don’t worry, we will definitely gather the Star Spirits as soon as possible,” the six of them said, taking out all the Star Spirits they had and handing over forty of them to Lu Yu first.

Now, if you think about it, a total of three Star Weapons have been produced. And two of them are in their hands.

From now on, they would surely rank among the top experts in the camp. At the very least, they would have the ability to stand and fight against the魔猿 and the狼魔.

With the combination of the two Star Soldiers, even a Wolf Demon could be easily defeated.

Kill the wolf demon and obtain more star soldiers.

This is their idea.

Thinking about the future when a large number of star soldiers would be sold from their hands, the几个人 couldn’t help feeling excited.

“Starting tomorrow, I will visit the camp once every day. I hope you all keep your promises,” Lu Yu said, checking his watch before leaving without further ado.

There were still two hours before nightfall. If they couldn’t reach the mine by then, they’d have to hole up somewhere like a basement for the night.

After Lu Yu left, Lin Ting and the others hurried back to the camp as well.

It’s getting dark, and the area outside the camp is becoming even more unsafe.

An hour later, Lu Yu finally reached the central area of the mine.

As soon as Lu Yu entered this place, several demon apes jumped out, attempting to attack him.

Then, from afar, came several sharp howls of apes. At once, these demon apes knelt on the ground, as if welcoming the return of their king.

At this moment, eleven monstrous apes came running from a distance and knelt down together on the ground.

“How come there are five more?” Lu Yu couldn’t help but feel that what he was looking at was clearly more than eleven.

“Because last night, they saw us mining the ore and realized that we could consume Star Spirit Stones, so they volunteered to stay behind and are willing to mine ore for you.”

“Does this actually work?” Lu Yu was taken aback for a moment.
