The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 628 - 24: Problems

Wolff assigned a sallow-faced middle-aged man to lead Lu Yuan and his companion.

He remained silent throughout the journey, pointed to a small house with a red roof upon arrival, then turned around and left, as if he had no desire to speak further.

Lu Yuan didn't mind, called out to the perpetually scowling Lu Feng, and headed straight for the house.

Like all the buildings seen on the way, the house Wolff arranged for Lu Yuan was constructed using special building materials.

The exterior was reinforced with wood, stone, and alloy, making it far from crude, with basic facilities complete inside.

Yet, compared to the Lu Family Manor on the Great Capital Star, it was certainly lacking.

Lu Yuan entered the house and casually sat down on a sofa, while Lu Feng took out a palm-sized device from his pocket, placed it on the floor in the center of the room, and pressed lightly.

Immediately, the device emitted a blue light.

The blue light scanned the entire house in an instant, forming a translucent glow before quickly disappearing.

Lu Yuan watched Lu Feng fiddle quietly; although Lu Feng didn't explain, he guessed this was some kind of security device.

Lu Feng adjusted the device, then looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "Young master, do you understand your purpose here?"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile at Lu Feng's question.

What a question...

Of course, he knew what he was here to do.

He had never been so clear about his objective as he was this time.

But the real task he had to do, he couldn't let Lu Feng know....

"Not quite sure."

Lu Yuan shook his head with amusement, saying: "Why don't you tell me what I should do?"

Lu Feng looked calmly at Lu Yuan and said gently, "If you don't mind, I can help clarify."

"Go ahead."

Lu Yuan changed to a more comfortable position, hands lightly resting in front of him.

"At our current Lam Silver Mine, there are a total of four excavation points, we occupy one of them..."

The point we occupy is the best site among the four, not small in scale either.

But its annual yield is less than half of the other three sites....

Lu Feng paused, glancing up at Lu Yuan, seeing him indeed listening, and continued: "Moreover, in the past six months, the yield has continued to decline.

If the trend continues, this year's profits might not even reach a third of previous years."

"Seems like there's an issue somewhere."

Lu Yuan said with a "serious" expression.

"The issue is significant."

Lu Feng casually took out a disk-like item from his pocket, saying lightly: "When you have some free time, you can look at this.

Here are some collected items from previous acting mine owners.

Like, the recorded employees for this site are forty-five, but less than half are actually employed...

And since a few years back, the equipment breakage rate at this site has suddenly remained high, exceeding normal levels by three times...

Like...."

Lu Feng casually outlined a few points, his gaze never leaving Lu Yuan.

After he finished, Lu Yuan appeared "thoughtful."

"So you... oh no, it's father's wish that.

I solve these issues one by one after arriving?"

"Actually, no."

Lu Feng shook his head.

This truly surprised Lu Yuan.

Not wanting him to solve issues, what's the point of explaining all this.

"..Father only hopes you'll stay here quietly for half a year.

As long as you try to find solutions, and make some efforts.

Whether the issues get resolved in the end... isn't important.

After all, you're not a professional problem solver."

"Uh..."

Lu Yuan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Just a proper attitude is needed, the result doesn't matter.

Lu Lingfeng sure has low expectations for him.

"Alright then."

Lu Yuan nodded a bit helplessly, indicating: "I understand."

Lu Feng, seeing Lu Yuan seemed to have grasped his words, relaxed slightly.

But quickly assumed a solemn demeanor and said: "Another point is, it's best for you to avoid interaction with the mine workers.

Those folks aren't good company; before you arrived, father hired three acting mine owners, all of whom ended up with unforeseen accidents, some injured, and some even died..."

"It's that serious?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "Okay, I understand, I won't hang out with them then."

Lu Feng pursed his lips, seemingly wanting to say something more, but in the end, he just put down what he was holding and said, "Call me directly if there's anything, I'm just next door," then turned and left the room.

After Lu Feng left, Lu Yuan casually glanced at the disk containing stored data that Lu Feng left behind, didn't touch it, and directly pulled out his photon brain to start searching for detailed maps of the surrounding area.

He could tell what kind of people Wolff and his crew were just at a glance.

Lu Family's mining site had various hidden problems, big and small, but regardless of whether Lu Feng mentioned them or not, he had no intention of addressing them.

Lu Yuan's sole purpose for coming to Lilva was to do one thing—regain his strength as quickly as possible through any means necessary.

And find the path to advance to even greater heights.

Lu Yuan quickly scanned the area map he had in hand.

Moments later, he withdrew his gaze and gently let out a breath of stale air.

In his heart, he had already clearly defined his target and direction for the next step.

However, before he could execute this series of actions,

Lu Yuan still faced an impending trouble that needed immediate resolution.

If he didn't resolve this issue, whatever Lu Yuan did afterward in Lilva would be constrained.

"Looks like this thing is going to come in handy soon..."

Lu Yuan gently touched his chest, his gaze lightly resting on a device placed on the floor in the room, eyes flickering, lost in thought.

....

Night fell.

In the dimly lit, humble hut, Lu Feng opened his eyes and gradually exited his daily meditation practice.

He got up and walked outside, where the star-filled night sky hung overhead, surrounded by a tranquil and dark primeval forest, occasionally illuminated by the glow of unknown insects.

He glanced in the direction from which the machine operation sounds came, then turned to look at the small house next door.

Light shone through the house's window, faintly accompanied by television program sounds.

Lu Feng tapped open his personal terminal on his wrist, swiping casually, his brow slightly furrowed.

He checked the disk containing records of the mining site's hidden dangers that he had given to Lu Yuan in the afternoon.

The display showed "Unread."

This indicated that since the conversation in the afternoon, Lu Yuan hadn't even glanced at the disk's recorded content.

"Looks like what I said this afternoon was in vain..."

Lu Feng's eyes flickered, considering whether to report Lu Yuan's behavior to Lu Lingfeng.

But after thinking for a while, he put his hand down.

"Let's wait a few more days."

Lu Feng didn't want to do something as petty as reporting.

Even though he was commissioned to be by Lu Yuan's side for this purpose, they're, after all, father and son; being too serious about it might be disadvantageous to him.

Moreover, from observing Lu Yuan's behavior on this journey, he did indeed appear to have made some changes.

Over nearly twenty days of travel, he managed to stay in the Cultivation Room alone without complaining about boredom.

Compared to his previous personality, it almost counts as "a completely different person."

"He didn't even show any fear or panic when encountering the Star Thieves..."

Lu Feng murmured to himself.

In fact, this was what surprised him the most.

Given his understanding of "Lu Qiyuan's" past character, it was simply unbelievable.

Not to mention a "debauched son" like "Lu Qiyuan," even he, at that moment, couldn't help but feel a multitude of nervous emotions.

This is also why Lu Feng often felt he couldn't comprehend Lu Yuan.

Sometimes many of Lu Yuan's actions seemed reckless, capricious, and audacious to Lu Feng, squandering his youth and privileged background.

Yet other times, Lu Yuan displayed extraordinary calmness and maturity.

To this, Lu Feng could only conclude that certain potentials within Lu Yuan, unknown to him, were gradually emerging.

The night was as cool as water, and Lu Feng stood alone at the door thinking quietly.

Occasionally, he habitually glanced at the house next door emitting light or at his personal terminal.

When Lu Feng checked the terminal screen for the third time, his expression suddenly changed.

"Not good!"

His gaze turned cold, and he disappeared from his spot like a ghost, swiftly appearing at the door of the house next door in several flickers.

He didn't knock; he directly pushed the door open and entered.

Upon seeing the situation inside the room, Lu Feng's face quickly darkened.

The room was empty, with only a communication terminal casually thrown on the sofa, continuously playing a scene of Mecha combat.

Lu Feng strode inside, coldly picked up the terminal, and cut off the video playing on it.

He extended his Spiritual Power, carefully scanned the room, then stepped rapidly out, his face cold.

And just as Lu Feng was about to decide which direction to start searching,

suddenly, the sound of engine roaring came from behind.

Accompanied by a faint chuckle.

The next second, Lu Feng abruptly turned around.

His eyes reflected the scene of a tiny aircraft's taillight darting up from behind the house, quickly skimming across the night sky.
