Spare Me, Great Lord!
chapter-154

Chapter 154: Generous-Li (Part 1) Li Yixiao looked at Zhong Yutang suspiciously but Zhong Yutang’s undisturbed demeanor showed that he had no fear of this fatty.

The final number of people going down was a little over 300, which was to say that a large portion of the heavenly network was staying to protect the daoyuan students. After all, not anyone could obtain a weapon.

Based on Zhong Yutang’s words, one could not even protect himself without a weapon down there.

Just when Jiang Shuyi was about to follow Lu Shu to the group which was going down, Zhong Yutang suddenly said, “Student Jiang Shuyi, your class is too low, it’s better for you to not go. Stay up here to protect the other students. Follow instructions.”

Jiang Shuyi was stunned and stayed silent. He then went over to the other group rather unwillingly.

Lu Shu felt that something was wrong. It was clear that Jiang Shuyi could fight and he had weapons as well. Why was he not allowed to go? Based on ability, many of the members of the heavenly network were probably not as good as Jiang Shuyi.

And although Jiang Shuyi was unwilling, he did not disobey orders. Lu Shu suddenly thought of an issue. Why did Zhong Yutang point out Jiang Shuyi specifically? Was it because of his brother?

Speaking of which, what position did Jiang Shuyi’s brother hold within the heavenly network. How did he have so much information?

Lu Shu didn’t know.

Following that, everyone regrouped into small teams. Students from every city gathered together and every group had an assigned leader.

Lu Shu was looking from the side when Li Yixiao came over suddenly. Fatty Li was intrigued by all that gold and bling on Lu Shu, “Aren’t you tired from carrying so many watches?”

Lu Shu looked at him expressionlessly, “Nope.”

“What about the gold chains. I’ll wear one for you?”

“Haha.”

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +35…”

Li Yixiao pondered momentarily. He knew this teenager was different, and it wasn’t with respect for his ability in battle. After all, Lu Shu’s little ability was insignificant compared to his ability as a class B heavenly king.

This difference referred to his ability to earn money.

Actually, Lu Shu sold all his items at a low price. Those spears could probably fetch a few million dollars outside. But would the heavenly network allow him to sell these weapons to anyone outside? Definitely not.

So Lu Shu was selling his idea of exchanging credit for rewards earlier. He was clearly exploiting the loophole. Stuff like fake credit was definitely not allowed but the heavenly network was still a newly built organization and had yet to notice this loophole.

If he handed in everything, the heavenly network would definitely reward Lu Shu. But how much rewards could he get? Before Lu Shu sold his items, he had more than 30 different equipment with him!

Which was why Li Yixiao thought that this kid was rather witty.

He thought before saying, “Do you want to follow me on a big business!”

The heavenly network’s salary was pretty pathetic. Although there were sufficient training resources, once someone reaches Li Yixiao’s level, what he needed was not just training, and he wasn’t like an old man with no yearnings or greed for money.

Lu Shu was stunned for a moment, “What business?” he couldn’t believe that Li Yixiao would bring him along to a business, both of them opening a chain of stinky tofu shops?

Li Yixiao glanced over at Zhong Yutang and spoke softly, “There would definitely be other remains. Under the recent magical circumstances, there would be numerous more ancient remains opening. Yuzhou, being the land of rich culture and history, would definitely have plenty. Just think about it, you’ve already earned so much from this one remain. What about the numerous remains in future? But the problem lies in the fact that you are a daoyuan student. What right do you have to go into remains, isn’t it? But it’s okay, with me Li Yixiao around, there will be no remains in Yuzhou which you can’t enter! And just think about it, you wouldn’t need to go and steal stuff with me around!”

Damn, Lu Shu was really stunned this time. So Li Yixiao had been noticing his methods of making money within this remain and thought of that. In the future, he would bring him into remains and have him do business there?!

This sort of trading business was rather unsightly for a heavenly king such as Li Yixiao to carry out, so he was looking for a business partner? To help him sell weapons?

This thought actually captivated Lu Shu. Let’s not think about whether or not they could obtain anything in the remains. With Li Yixiao around, there would definitely be things to sell. Lu Shu didn’t have this worry as his main concern was entering the ancient remains!

There were too many things within an ancient remain. Apart from weapons, there were a huge amount of fruits and herbs which were worth Lu Shu’s efforts!

This was the most important!

Lu Shu was in deep thought. Li Yixiao asked anxiously, “So yes or no? Say something!”

Lu Shu was speechless. A heavenly king still had to earn money from selling stuff…

He then replied softly, “How do we split?”

“We’ll split 9-1. 9 for me 1 for you,” Li Yixiao said sternly.

Lu Shu’s face turned dark immediately, “Heavenly king Li, our ancestors had claimed that people with your name were all very generous. Why are you such an outlier? How could you go against the great expectations the ancestors had for people with your name?”

It was Li Yixiao’s turn to be stunned, “My name? When did ancestors praise my name? Why should I be generous?”

“Haven’t you heard of the pun? Generous-Li!” Lu Shu said with some dissatisfaction. 9-1 was way too unfair!!

Li Yixiao heard Lu Shu’s words and was rather confused, “Did generous-Li mean Li should be generous? Did the ancestors claim that? Don’t think you can bullsh*t me just because I’m uneducated!”

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +666!”

Lu Shu was unimpressed, “5-5. Haven’t you considered the risk a class E like me is undertaking when I follow you into the ancient remains? Is my normal life worthless to you heavenly king Li?”

Li Yixiao considered upon hearing this. It made sense as Lu Shu’s ability was indeed too low. Although a strength type metahuman couldn’t be considered as simply a class E, the dangers of entering a remain was still rather high. Lu Shu’s words were as if insinuating that his life was not valued by Li Yixiao, which made the latter extremely guilty…

“So how do you think we should split?” asked Li Yixiao.

Lu Shu said calmly, “After all, you’re a heavenly king and I would be looking up to your ability to explore the remains in future. As I never liked to take advantage of people, and neither do I want you to lose out, how about 5-5?!”

Li Yixiao was annoyed. Aren’t I losing out?!
