Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1287 - 1288: Paying Respects to the Boss

He heard the signal from the commander.

The soldiers from those two regiments were now all sporting sly smiles.

They weren’t just clueless recruits; they were the sharpest selected from various units.

Even getting in here, the brain was more important than physical ability.

After all, there’s not much to do to kill time in this secret base, plenty of time to work on your physical fitness.

But if the brain is too rigid, you just can’t stay here.

Because, here you’ll often encounter things beyond your regular knowledge, if you persist in handling them in the old ways, you might end up causing big trouble.

Hence, the mind must be flexible, able to make correct judgments at the right time!

And now, their correct judgment is — they must get Lu Xiaobu to teach them something!

Anything is fine to teach!

After all, compared to training with stuff they’ve learned before, learning something new is like a form of entertainment, filled with happiness.

Their previous attitude was mostly deliberate!

You know how young people are, they can’t resist showing off a bit!

But Lu Xiaobu didn’t fall for it.

Fine then, let’s do this head-on!

So, this group of guys all let loose:

"Instructor! If you don’t teach us something today, you definitely can’t leave! Our bad, we’ll apologize!"

"Yeah! Yeah! We were wrong, isn’t that enough? Don’t leave!"

"Instructor Lu, teach us something interesting!"

"Come on! Don’t hold back! Come! Take me on head-on!"

"Come, baby!"

"..."

This group of seasoned soldiers made no secret, totally letting go!

The two commanders exchanged glances but said nothing.

Though the military demands discipline, here it wasn’t so strict.

After all, it’s already been said, people here need to be flexible, yet discipline and flexibility inherently conflict, so naturally the discipline here isn’t as strong as in regular units!

"Isn’t this better? What was with the pretending earlier?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said: "And trying to give me a hard time?"

"Hehe! The instructor indeed has unmatched intelligence, saw right through it!" Fan Ming immediately flattered him!

As for Qi Tao, he was even more unrestrained, quietly saying: "Instructor, Shimen is nearby, why not have some fun with the brothers one day." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

See, these guys were truly a bunch of old rogues!

"Let’s talk about that later, first tell me, why was Mr. Wang in such a hurry to leave?" Lu Xiaobu was quite bothered by this matter.

"Er... Mr. Wang didn’t take you to pay respects?" Fan Ming was taken aback hearing this!

"Pay respects? This isn’t a mountain village, what are we paying respects to?" Lu Xiaobu was instantly speechless, is this a secret base, or Liang Mountain? Paying respects has become a thing here?

"Instructor, you really didn’t go?!"

Qi Tao was also surprised.

Lu Xiaobu clearly saw him swallow hard.

He probably wasn’t hungry, but scared.

"Stop beating around the bush, speak directly!" Lu Xiaobu was getting impatient.

"Does the instructor know what kind of people are here?" Fan Ming asked again: "Did Mr. Wang ever explain to you in detail?!"

"No." Lu Xiaobu shook his head.

"Alright then, instructor, you’ve been tricked!" Qi Tao continued, smiling bitterly: "But you should be able to handle it."

"We’ve heard about you crushing a Grandmaster, meaning you do believe in things beyond normal scientific explanation, right?"

"Obviously!" Lu Xiaobu’s patience was seriously worn thin.

"Then there’s that, put simply, this place can actually be called an abnormal human gathering place! It harbors numerous geniuses or rather lunatics, possessing many capabilities incomprehensible to modern society!"

Qi Tao finally started explaining.

"These capabilities could be physical, superpower, or extremely high intelligence!"

"And while these people’s abilities are substantive, these very talents lead to deficiencies in many other aspects!"

"If not properly guided, letting them into normal society could certainly make them social hazards!"

While Qi Tao said this, Lu Xiaobu nodded in agreement.

Actually, it’s easy to understand; when you realize you’re genuinely like Superman from the movies, possessing immense power, ordinary lives mean little before you, the choice arises.

Do you choose to hide this power and be an ordinary person?

Or choose to use this power to gain the benefits unobtainable through normal routes in a lifetime?

Presumably, most people couldn’t resist themselves from choosing the second path.

Then someone might ask, why are martial artists okay?!

Martial artists are cultivated Up, not gaining power all at once, and during this cultivation, Jianghu and societal rules deeply rooted in them.

This, is what’s called guidance.

And here, is a place prepared for those suddenly gaining power but lacking a complete psyche.

Seeing Lu Xiaobu understand, Fan Ming continued on.

"Among them, there’s a violent woman, she probably read too many novels, insisted she’s the king, and any newcomers must pay her respects! Otherwise, she’d throw a fit!"

"Violent woman? How violent?" Lu Xiaobu curiously asked: "Swinging a hammer type? Or wielding two large axes type!?"

Usually, those who qualify as violent women carry that kind of vibe.

"None of those!" Fan Ming chuckled bitterly.

Just as he wanted to continue explaining, a rumbling sound echoed.

"Buzzing!"

It’s the sound of an engine starting, and definitely the sound of a top-tier engine!

"She’s here!"

Qi Tao’s pupils enlarged.

Then, Lu Xiaobu noticed all three thousand people suddenly step back in unison.

And not just a step, but step by step, as if anticipating something terrifying was about to appear!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound echoed again, the top-tier engine — fired up!

Lu Xiaobu immediately looked back, and saw a terrifying giant machine exclaiming towards him.

How fast was its speed?

Let’s put it this way, one second Lu Xiaobu couldn’t see what it was rushing over, the next second he still couldn’t fully see it, because it completely blocked his view!

Everyone knows the faster the speed, the greater the kinetic energy, such speed, coupled with this terrifying machine’s impressive mass, the destructive power is surely on a scary scale!

And this terrifying destructive power had reached right before Lu Xiaobu!
