Chapter 213: Black Market (Part 3)

Now Lu Shu had five magical stones in his possession. Two from daoyuan class, and three more when he was appointed as a Lieutenant.

If one stone could be sold at the previous valuation by Jiang Shuyi of 120 thousand dollars, it would mean he could get 600 thousand dollars of cash!

Lu Shu was doubtful, “One for ten thousand dollars?”

Back then, Jiang Shuyi had explained everything to him very clearly. Private sales in the market had already inflated to about 150 thousand dollars per stone but most people weren’t familiar with the market. Only those truly rich tycoons could afford to buy these resources for their children.

People always said that only the rich could train, or else their physical state wouldn’t be able to keep up with their improvements.

In the path of training, this was indeed the truth. A rich person could purchase resources, be it magical land or magical stones, both of which were important factors in training speed and quality!

Yuan Liangtuo heard Lu Shu’s suspicion and laughed coldly as he held in his anger, “What’s wrong? Is it very hard to imagine? That’s our world, the world of practitioners.”

Lu Shu almost peed his pants. Did you think that I thought ten thousand dollars was expensive? It’s too low a valuation alright!

If it really was this price, I would never sell all my damned magical stones!

He took in a breath and laughed, “Has poverty limited your imagination…”

Yuan Liangtuo stood up, “Who are you calling poor? Who are you to lecture us when you’re just a commoner who can’t even get his ass into daoyuan class? You guys seem like you can only afford cup noodles!”

Lu Shu was rather baffled, did the cup noodles annoy you?

This time, no one held Yuan Liangtuo back. Everyone was clear that Yuan Liangtuo was looking for an opportunity to teach this teenager a lesson. Last night, Yuan Tuoliang was complaining about this guy in their group for a long time and even told everyone to not get in his way.

At that moment last night, the other couple thought, wasn’t it your girlfriend who helped you back? Who else said anything to you…

Now, such an incident arose again, causing some commotion. To be honest, daoyuan students didn’t usually find trouble with commoners. Just like how adults didn’t fight with children, winning wouldn’t be glorifying or of much honor.

But if things really escalated into a fight, as long as it wasn’t too serious, the police wouldn’t bother. The case would be transferred to the heavenly network anyway.

Lu Xiaoyu stared at Yuan Liangtuo like he was dumb while Little Fury had an expression of elation. Little Fury thought, you’re in trouble…

You might have trouble to even beat me, aren’t you looking for death this way…

Yuan Liangtuo suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. The two siblings opposite him weren’t panicking at all. Even their squirrel looked especially calm…

Coughs, Lu Shu cleared his throat and withdrew his military appointment from his pocket, opening it up in front of Yuan Liangtuo, “The four of you should be second lieutenants now? We, members of the heavenly network, don’t usually commit the mistake of being rude to their superiors. Four beginner class E practitioners, you guys really aren’t much. Spend some time reflecting, stop disgracing the reputation of us members of the heavenly network…”

Lu Shu said all these with gusto and authority, stunning Yuan Liangtuo immensely. He saw clearly the word ‘lieutenant’ on Lu Shu’s military identification!

Lieutenant?! Weren’t lieutenants appointed based on their contributions? Or if they were daoyuan students of tier A aptitude!

He wondered how could Lu Shu possibly have made any meaningful contribution? After all, there wasn’t any war ongoing!

Then there was only one possibility, this guy was a genius of tier A aptitude!

Yuan Li and the rest weren’t too sure why Yuan Liangtuo was rooted on his spot. They then heard Yuan Liangtuo mumble, “Lieutenant? Tier A prodigy?!”

The rest of them were also stunned when they heard these words. Who would’ve thought that this teenager was also from daoyuan class? And as someone who’d strike awe wherever he goes with tier A aptitude?!

Tier A aptitude was extremely rare everywhere. In terms of ability, tier A was way ahead of the rest. Without using any special techniques or abilities, they could easily comprehend the mysterious senses chapter and acquire the mysterious dao chapter after that!

Didn’t that mean that the teenager who didn’t look older than them was already someone of class D? Someone who was of the same class as a form teacher in daoyuan class?

Yuan Liangtuo began to think. Was all of this true? How could it be?

But just then, Lu Shu reached out for small magical stones from his pockets and started fiddling with them, “These are magical stones you people want to purchase. The 120 thousand dollars you have probably can’t even get you one. So don’t rush into flaunting your wealth and bragging that you’re gonna buy one for someone else.”

Once the magical stones were shown, Lu Shu’s identity as a daoyuan student was no longer in doubt. Lu Shu couldn’t bother to fight with this group of people. His identity as a lieutenant was a great advantage. How many lieutenants in daoyuan class were there in the entire country?

He would be stupid to fight and not take advantage of his status. Moreover, this green train probably could not withstand the damages which would come with a fight between practitioners.

The silence in their bunk was deafening and even their breathing could be heard. Lu Shu sat in his position calmly while striking fear in everyone. The more calm Lu Shu was, the more nervous the rest of them became.

In truth, the difference in aura and mannerism of an experienced soldier, who’s been to a war and killed someone, compared to a newbie was immense.

Although Lu Shu was young, he had indeed killed people! He no longer cared about this group of people and neither did he ask where the black market was. Lu Shu had already decided to follow this group of people when they reached their destination to find the black market. After all, asking now might not fetch him the real answer.

The four people, who were originally joyful, encountered this setback and were now quiet and serious.

They were greatly embarrassed, thinking that they were so powerful previously.

Just from the events of this afternoon, Yuan Liangtuo and his friends contributed about 5000 distress points. The few of them, seated on their bunks, didn’t even dare to breathe, in fear of pissing Lu Shu off!

In reality, Yuan Liangtuo was the one who suffered the greatest shock. Seeing that Lu Shu was just like a commoner watching his movie, how did he turn out to be a prodigy with tier A aptitude? Although someone with tier A aptitude was no stronger than a class D practitioner, the words tier A were powerful and fear-striking on its own!

How would he know that in actual fact, Lu Shu was a tier F in the records of the heavenly network… All his talk and achievements were bestowed to him after a bout of arm-wrestling…

This tense atmosphere remained all the way until the trained reached its terminal destination. As the train reached Xijing City, it was already nighttime. Lu Shu pulled his luggage and walked slowly in front while Yuan Liangtuo and his friends intentionally waited for him to leave in order to lengthen their distance.

Lu Shu was in no rush either, these four people had nowhere to run. Thinking that he could go to the black market to sell his 5 magical stones really got him excited. But he had to stay calm. No one can know about him selling the stones.

Just as he squeezed through the crowd and out of the train station, a lady came over under the dark sky, “Hey handsome, wanna catch a dancing show?”

Lu Shu was stunned, isn’t this a… huh?

He asked hesitantly, “Dance? What type of dance?”

The lady giggled to herself, this handsome guy was asking such an obvious question and how could she tell him in the open? She laughed and replied, “Tribal dance.”

Lu Shu shook his head, “What’s nice about tribal dance…”

The lady’s face turned dark.

“From Zhang Shaodi’s distress, +188!”

The lady then whispered, “The type of dance without clothes!”

Lu Shu waved his hands and brought Lu Xiaoyu away, “Are you crazy? How would I know which tribe you’re from if you’re not wearing any clothes?”

The lady stood rooted and confused to the ground. What type of guy did she just meet?!

“From Zhang Shaodi’s distress, +666!”
