Chapter 956: Settle ThingsTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The thief was in despair. Once he had been captured by Sun Zhongyang and the rest, he would definitely be beaten up. The thief could not understand. What did his deeds have to do with them?
Lu Shu looked at the thief. He suddenly felt that it was as if the thief had stolen an electric car, but was chased by four helicopters. The helicopters even had weapons attached to them that could be fired at any time…
But this gave Lu Shu another idea. Sun Zhongyang and the rest did not recognize him, but complained about him because of the gambling in the palace…
Earlier, Lu Shu had told them that the commander of the Wei Wu Army had gone to the palace.
Thus, Lu Shu could bring Sun Zhongyang to the palace… to settle things!
After Sun Zhongyang and the rest beat up the thief, they turned back and looked at Lu Shu. “Le Yulu, is this the commander of the Wei Wu Army?”
Lu Shu was speechless. “You are mistaken. He is a thief that tried to steal from me…”
Sun Zhongyang was speechless as well. They… had fought the wrong person…
But Sun Zhongyang did not fuss over this. He simply waved. “He was a thief. We have to punish him!”
Although Sun Zhongyang and the rest had been mistaken, they knew that they could not blame Lu Shu for this. After all, Lu Shu had only asked him to stop. He had not said that this person was the commander of the Wei Wu Army.
Thus, Sun Zhongyang, Mo Xiaoya, and the rest did not think much about it. They had simply beaten up a thief. They did not even produce any distress points for Lu Shu.
Sun Zhongyang looked at Lu Shu and said, “Are you here to see the slave market?”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He carefully observed his surroundings. There was an ajar gate that led to a wide courtyard. He could even see a stage made out of wood. A person with the seal of a slaves stood on the stage and was watched by many auctioneers offstage.
“We want to go in and take a look,” said Lu Xiaoyu. Her eyes were bright.
Lu Shu looked inside with a worried expression on his face. “The male slaves inside are only wearing their underpants.”
“Men’s swimwear isn’t any better.” Lu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and pulled Lu Shu along as she walked in. She did not think about buying any slaves. She was just curious.
These kinds of markets were very rare on Earth. Once they were discovered, they would have to face the brunt of public sentiment. They would not naturally exist in a public market, like in this world.
Sun Zhongyang and the rest looked at the slave on the stage. They seemed to have lost interest. The strength or abilities of the slaves were hung around their necks. Some were adept in building houses, while others were Rank Fives. But these slaves were not attractive to Sun Zhongyang and the rest at all.
To Sun Zhongyang, Rank Five slaves were not a necessity for them. The aristocrats in the palace compared their strong slaves, who were worth 1000 of such Rank Five slaves.
Lu Shu looked. There was a price tag on this Rank Five Slave. He was worth 8000 notes.
This price renewed Lu Shu’s understanding of monetary value in the Luniverse. He suddenly felt that with ten million notes in hand, he would definitely be considered as a rich man.
Sun Zhongyang furrowed his eyebrows. “Who is the manager?”
An old man hurriedly ran over. “What is it, young man?”
Sun Zhongyang took out a white jade token from his sleeve. “Do you understand this?”
When the manager of the slave market saw this, he was happy. “So you are the son of the Sun family. You will definitely not think much of the slaves outside. Follow me inside.”
Lu Shu understand. At first, he had thought that the slave market was of low quality. So the best slaves were inside the market.
The manager led Sun Zhongyang and the rest behind the courtyard. Lu Shu followed them boldly. The manager saw Lu Shu and asked, “You are?”
“I came together with them,” said Lu Shu calmly.
Sun Zhongyang and the rest suddenly turned to look at Lu Shu. Lu Shu felt as if he was a partic.i.p.ant on the Voice of China 1, where the judges turned around…
Sun Zhongyang smiled. “Yes, he’s with us.”
When the people beside Sun Zhongyang saw this, they felt that Lu Shu was very thick-skinned. He did not even deem himself as an outsider.
Lu Shu was too lazy to care about them. He would be able to enter the inside if he wanted to, as long as he used his name as the commander of the Wei Wu Army. The commander of an army definitely had the right to enter.
He followed Sun Zhongyang and the rest in. On one hand, it saved him some trouble. On the other hand, he was also afraid of fighting Sun Zhongyang and the rest…
The inner court was much more refined than the outside. While the slaves outside all stood on the stage in a pathetic manner, as if they were beasts being watched, there were elegant pavilions inside. It was as if a door separated two very different worlds.
The manager laughed and introduced the slaves to Sun Zhongyang. “What kind of slaves do you want to purchase this time? We have some new arrivals that are not bad.”
Sun Zhongyang said casually, “Take all of them out. I want to have a look.”
The manager looked at the a.s.sistant beside him. The a.s.sistant ran to the side. When Sun Zhongyang and the rest had sat down, servants quickly served them sweets and tea.
Sun Zhongyang seemed as if he did not think much of these sweets. He casually took one. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “These are not bad!”
Mo Xiaoya also took one piece. After she ate it, she sighed. “I didn’t expect that you would have sweets with this texture.”
Lu Shu took one piece as well. Then, he pushed the plate towards Lu Xiaoyu. He was very curious towards the entire Luniverse, including their sweets.
Lu Xiaoyu took one piece. Lu Shu left one half uneaten and put it back on the tray. He said to Lu Xiaoyu, “Just try some, but don’t take too much. It’s not that tasty.”
The manager was a wise person. He could see that Lu Shu was not familiar with Sun Zhongyang and the rest. He definitely did not have a grand background like that of Sun Zhongyang. Thus, when Lu Shu said that the sweets were not tasty, he was unhappy. Who gave you the right to be so particular? Their sweets were even better than those produced in the West Capital.
Although Mo Xiaoya and the rest did not say anything, they felt that this young man was far too amazing. They felt that he had never eaten good food. How could he say that these delicious sweets were not tasty?
But to Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, who had eaten delicacies on Earth, eating these kinds of sweets was like eating old-fas.h.i.+oned milk cakes from the 90’s. It was hard to swallow…
At that moment, the slave market a.s.sistant brought seven slaves over. The manager hurriedly said, “These are our best slaves. They have experienced countless battles. They are all Rank Two and above! Their requirement is that the buyer must have techniques that are Rank One and above.”
Lu Shu understood. These people had sold themselves as slaves in order to obtain techniques.
