Chapter 749: Saving Water

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After figuring out Chaos’ greatest advantage, Lu Shu could calm down. Chen Zuan understood that Brother Shu had the support of a Cla.s.s A. As long as Lu Shu was around, no one could touch him! He had to cling on to him!

Chen Zuan tried to flatter Lu Shu. “Congrats Brother Shu on obtaining a Cla.s.s A Chaos!”

Lu Shu’s expression darkened. “Since when did you become so big-sized?!”

Chen Zuan said modestly, “I’m surprised myself…”

“How much of that liquid did you drink?” Lu Shu suddenly asked.

“Around 13 days’ worth of food. One day’s worth of food will weigh around three kilograms…” Chen Zuan calculated. “After consolidating my Cla.s.s C status, I am once again at the boundary of Cla.s.s C. I don’t know what effects the liquid has either.”

Lu Shu glanced at Chen Zuan. This fatty was lucky too. With the help of the liquid from the Dragon Stage, this fatty was about to advance to Cla.s.s B.

In the past, Lu Shu had always looked down on greedy good-for-nothings. He did not expect them to be of use here…

Lu Shu sighed. “Dumb people have their own dumb happiness…”

“Brother Shu, why do I feel like you’re scolding me…” Chen Zuan was dumbfounded.

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +399!”

Lu Shu brought Chen Zuan out. They had just stepped out when they saw a group of people still lying on the floor.

“Brother Shu, what should we do with them?” Chen Zuan looked at the people on the ground. Nie Ting had flown away without caring about them. Evidently, he knew that Lu Shu and Chen Zuan would not abandon these people.

“Slap them awake,” said Lu Shu gently.

“Can we do that?”

“Let me try.”

Slap! Chen Zuan gasped in shock.

Lu Shu had slapped w.a.n.g Zhe. w.a.n.g Zhe also suddenly gasped in shock. He had been dreaming when he was suddenly slapped. There was a stinging pain, then a burning sensation…

“Who slapped me!” w.a.n.g Zhe angrily sat up and looked at Lu Shu.

“From w.a.n.g Zhe’s distress, +887!”

Lu Shu cheerily looked at w.a.n.g Zhe. “The Venerable asked me to find you and take back the magical stone that you owe him.”

w.a.n.g Zhe was stunned. He had not yet understood what was happening. Earlier, he lost his consciousness and memory when he walked into the blue light. Now, he could not understand the situation. But the words “the Venerable” were traumatizing. The moment Lu Shu mentioned the Venerable, he no longer dared to speak…

“Could the Venerable extend the due date? I don’t have that much money now…” w.a.n.g Zhe said guiltily. He could not act anymore. He did not even dare to do so.

“Ha ha.” Lu Shu laughed coldly. “The Venerable said that if you don’t repay the magical stone, your kidney will be dug out.”

w.a.n.g Zhe suddenly cried. “I only have one left. I sold the other before the magically rich era. The Venerable, please let me off!”

Lu Shu fell silent. He did not know what to feel. This was not a laughing matter, but he felt some pity for w.a.n.g Zhe. He no longer tried to argue with w.a.n.g Zhe.

This did not mean that he empathized with w.a.n.g Zhe. He felt that arguing with a person like this would be lowly of him. This was not the first time Lu Shu had thought about this. He had always sought to earn money when he ran out of money. He would think of a solution when he faced a problem. He would only spend what he had. Lu Shu always felt that he had to have moral character. After all, even in the most difficult times, Lu Shu had never thought about selling his kidney. Thus, he could not understand people like w.a.n.g Zhe.

The entire team had been waiting in the base for a day. The Heavenly Network members who had been controlled were informed of the situation by Chen Zuan. Chen Zuan warned them against doing it again. Everyone laughed. “If we don’t do it, who will? We know that there is danger ahead of us. We are mentally prepared for it.”

Lu Shu did not say anything else. He knew that it would be of no use.

Lu Xiaoyu softly told him about the Puppet Masters. For some reason, Lu Shu felt the words “Puppet Master” pus.h.i.+ng down on his heart like a stone. The presence of the Puppet Master had become stronger. It was as if they were everywhere.

What was their objective? Was it not to destroy the barrier or something? Why did they start to protect the world? According to Ao Xian, the Puppet Masters were from the exiled land. Why were they able to enter this world? They did not try to find the barrier, nor did they try to destroy it. It was as if they were not in a rush. What were they planning?

They returned to the city with great spirits and determination. w.a.n.g Yan and the rest finally felt safe. They were surrounded by members of the Heavenly Network.

When they finally reached safety, w.a.n.g Yan was touched. They realized that the group of Heavenly Network members were all older than Lu Shu and his team. Logically, they should be in the upper cla.s.ses of the Heavenly Network. Thus, w.a.n.g Yan reported the poor att.i.tude that Lu Shu and the rest displayed to them…

The members of the Heavenly Network who had been controlled by Ao Xian all had strange expressions on their faces. “I feel that you had better not report this. Firstly, we were saved by them. I don’t think I need to mention our grat.i.tude to them. Secondly, I don’t think we have the authority to handle this. They are not ordinary people…”

When the members of the Heavenly Network asked Cao Qingci and Chen Zuan about their cla.s.ses, they knew who these young bosses were. Which group had a Cla.s.s C as its weakest member…

There were two Cla.s.s B’s and three Cla.s.s C’s in this group. There had never been such a team…

w.a.n.g Yan and the rest were dumbfounded. They could not understand how Lu Shu and the rest looked so young, but yet were so strong!

They walked through the k.u.mukili Desert and returned to the city. The moment they returned to the city, the first thing that they did was not to eat. They first took a bath!

They had not bathed in hot water for over ten days. They had spent the entire time in the wilderness. Even Lu Shu, who had water-type abilities, could not stand it.

When they returned to the city, Zhang Yanfeng did not part ways with Lu Shu and the rest. Instead, he requested for Lu Shu, Lu Xiaoyu, and the rest of the Heavenly Network members to bathe as well.

Lu Shu did not reject this offer. No matter what, they still had to bathe. They entered the shower area. Lu Shu turned on the tap and let the initial cold water flow. He suddenly thought of something and splashed water on Chen Zuan, who was beside him. “This cold water is still water. Don’t waste it.”

Chen Zuan was dumbstruck.

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”

“Brother Shu, what are you doing?” Chen Zuan was dumbfounded.

“Saving water,” said Lu Shu.

“Then why don’t you use it to shower?!” Chen Zuan was puzzled.

“It’s cold water!”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
