Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1211: Solving the Problem

Time flew by, and no one spoke all night. Even Shimen became unusually quiet with the arrival of these twelve grandmasters.

Zhang Benhu straightforwardly issued an order: anyone causing trouble these days, if they upset Zuo An and he kills them, that’s on you. We won’t handle it, nor can we!

The one most frustrated is Ye Changsheng, unable to receive accurate news about Lu Xiaobu. Even with trust, he found it hard to sleep!

Lu Xiaobu was quite relaxed, chatting with Liang Lan. "Sister Lan, tell me, what would be comparable to death in the heart of a grandmaster?"

Liang Lan tilted her head, thinking, "Comparable to death? If you consider it differently, isn’t it about what can make them forsake life and death? Aren’t novels always writing about forsaking life for the growth of cultivation?"

"Cultivation? Resources? Wealth, partners, techniques, land?" Lu Xiaobu squinted, as if he thought of something.

Though the herbs on that mountain are plenty, they’re mundane things, unlikely to catch the grandmasters’ attention!

But!

He has Immortal Beans in his hand now!

Even if they’re substandard, their uniqueness will certainly attract grandmasters.

If he buys a handful of Immortal Beans from the store and then uses them to lure the grandmasters, getting them to brew tea, it’s entirely possible!

Moreover, there’s another advantage: there’s no other branch apart from this.

With this, many things become much easier.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobu laughed, hugging Liang Lan tightly: "Haha."

"Oh, Young Master, you’re annoying." Liang Lan smiled blissfully.

"Tomorrow, head to the suburbs to prepare a location, a bigger one, away from people." Lu Xiaobu assigned: "Our goal is for the grandmasters to give their all and then brew tea, which obviously isn’t feasible in the city."

"Got it, Young Master." Liang Lan nodded, immediately having a choice in mind.

The vicinity of Shimen is all mountains and ridges, coupled with Shimen’s rapid development in recent years, promoting tourism growth.

As a result, farmhouses have sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain, countless in number, just need to pick a more remote one.

...

The night passed in silence.

The next day, Ye Changsheng hurriedly woke the still-sleeping Lu Xiaobu: "Have you thought of an idea?"

His thought was there’s still time to escape now!

"Got it." Lu Xiaobu yawned, purchasing a substandard Immortal Bean and tossing it to Ye Changsheng: "With this thing, are we really afraid they won’t listen to us?"

Ye Changsheng took the Immortal Bean, frowning: "What is this thing?"

As he spoke, he tossed the Immortal Bean into his mouth.

Instantly, he sharply felt a surge of energy begin to flow within his body.

"Healing substance?! It actually affects me too?! Though very faint, it’s indeed working!" Ye Changsheng’s pupils dilated.

For them, who have already surpassed the physical limits as grandmasters, the effect of a substandard Immortal Bean is truly faint.

How faint is it?! It isn’t even faster than his own self-healing speed!

However, don’t disregard this thing because of slow speed.

Understand this: it was the first time he encountered something that could still act on a grandmaster’s body in this world!

Of course, it’s not to say such things aren’t real. Some extraordinary treasures regarded as hallmarks by sects are still effective!

But, he hasn’t seen those things, doesn’t know if they’re real or fake!

Moreover, the key point is, this is natural, if its properties can be cracked and re-crafted, it might not become a healing medicine for grandmasters!

Terrifying! Too terrifying! Lu Xiaobu actually has something like this?!

"How about it? Is it alright?!" Seeing Ye Changsheng’s expression, Lu Xiaobu knew it was a success.

Sure enough, Ye Changsheng nodded repeatedly: "This thing absolutely makes the Master Token worthwhile to open!"

Now it was settled.

But, he still asked: "How many do you have? If the number is small, it might manage them but certainly wouldn’t suffice for them to brew tea!"

"There’s plenty, absolutely enough." Lu Xiaobu nodded and said.

"That’s good, I’m relieved. The rest is up to you!" Ye Changsheng no longer felt nervous at once.

With the goods, let it be how it may!

Today, I’m determined to mess with you grandmasters along with Lu Xiaobu, what are you gonna do?!

Cannot help but say, with confidence, Ye Changsheng was indeed cocky, directly cursing Mo Wentian at the Thunder God eSports Hall without any fear!

Whenever Mo Wentian wanted to start a fight, he’d bring up Lu Xiaobu to scare Mo Wentian.

That scene was incredibly bizarre!

Zuo An watched on from the side, feeling his scalp tingle: "Oh my! What’s happening these days?! A grandmaster actually uses an ordinary person to threaten another grandmaster?!"

"The key point is, the opponent is actually afraid?!" Even icy Ni Huang couldn’t contain her urge to comment.

What the heck is this?!

Ye Changsheng, do you have any pride?!

You a dignified grandmaster, not standing on your own, instead letting an ordinary person back you up, do you really have pride?!

Also, Mo Wentian, aren’t you the ancestor?! Aren’t you boasting around?! How come when an ordinary person is brought up, you’re terrified?!

Wu Weizi, Ling Xiaozi, and Master Zhi Xing exchanged glances and smiled bitterly.

It seems, only those once toyed with by Lu Xiaobu understand Mo Wentian’s thoughts!

As for Lu Xiaobu, the scariest part isn’t his martial power, but his cunning strategies and his unpredictable ways.

Not to mention, the precisely timed approaches!

Many of his actions are perfectly aligned with the opponent’s psychological boundary, not a fraction more, not a fraction less.

This tends to give you a particularly uncomfortable feeling.

If you take action over a trivial matter, some people feel it’s bullying, looking for trouble deliberately.

But if you don’t take action, you can only fume silently.

Just like yesterday, although Lu Xiaobu berated Mo Wentian thoroughly, they heard not a single taboo insult, all were things like old rascal, old geezer, etc.

While those words are insults, you can also say they’re jokes.

Of course, this has to do with Lu Xiaobu daring to directly call for mobbing Mo Wentian at the start.

After Lu Xiaobu demonstrated strength, the insult level wasn’t that severe!

So, Mo Wentian never truly crossed his psychological line, choosing to endure!

Today is similar, regardless of how poor Ye Changsheng’s rapport might be, he’s still a grandmaster.

Grandmaster against grandmaster, equivalent status, mutual cursing isn’t a big deal.

However, if Lu Xiaobu is brought over again, the scene would surely be chaos.

Thus, when facing Ye Changsheng’s call for Lu Xiaobu or not taking action, he opted for the latter!

Of course, this is just a minor incident, aiming to convey Lu Xiaobu’s presence in the grandmasters’ world. Even though he’s not on equal footing, he’s not easily disregarded!

Yet, unnoticed, a trace of coldness flashed in Mo Wentian’s eyes. Clearly, he wasn’t truly afraid of Lu Xiaobu, rather, he seemed to be waiting for something!
