Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Huge Gold Chains and Small Watches (5) Lu Shu really admired his own ability to think of the plan of trading under such a pressing circumstance. In this dangerous remain, daoyuan students and soldiers were not prepared. Evidently, the heavenly network had never planned for the soldiers and students to be in the remains as well. The news from Jiang Shuyi also agreed with this: The heavenly network would prevent daoyuan students from entering the remain.

Ultimately, this extremely different remain spoiled all of their plans. No one predicted the remain to be so different from the previous encounters.

In such a circumstance, which student would bring along a huge amount of money with him?

But it was different when it came to stuff like jewelry. Some kids from wealthy families might not have much cash with them at this moment, but whatever they wore was of great quality.

This method of trading would solve the problem of not having enough money.

Lu Shu put on the watch belonging to one of the members of the heavenly network. He raised his head to look at the other party. From his expression, he knew that members of the heavenly network were more understanding and mature. He was trading his equipment for his future finances while others were trading their items for future skills and abilities, it was a win-win situation.

“This gold chain of mine, 27 grams. The price of gold is more stable, I’m willing to trade it for a sword,” Another member of the heavenly network walked out to trade for a weapon.

Lu Shu eyes lit up. Nothing was as stable as gold!

“I have a watch here which isn’t worth too much, about 2000 dollars. Can I get a sword?” This member from the heavenly network sounded rather apologetic. After all, the item he was offering was of a much lower price compared to other items. But he didn’t have much valuable stuff or cash on himself. All his money was sent back to his parents in his hometown every month. Even this watch was bought only during his wedding. But he was extremely clear of the importance of getting recognition for this mission. If he could obtain some instructions to reach class D, he could get promoted and command a higher salary. It was an important issue regarding his future

Lu Shu glanced at him, “Deal!”

He had a good feeling towards the members of the heavenly network as well as the soldiers. All these people worked hard in such a difficult environment to protect the students and Lu Shu knew that it was extremely tough. In such a circumstance, it was alright for him to lose out a little.

At this moment, Lu Shu was wearing a huge gold chain around his neck and a watch on each of his hands. If one didn’t see his tattered clothes, he could really claim to be however rich he wanted to be…

The students at the side were thoroughly disgusted at Lu Shu’s appearance. Was this the reason for all the risks he took in the remain? He was really a shrewd and scheming money-face.

Everyone stared at Lu Shu’s get-up with faces of confusion. It was starkly contrasting to the atmosphere here! Lu Shu was still enjoying himself as the others were disgusted by his actions. After all, it was the first time he was wearing a gold chain and a watch.

“Anyone else wants to buy?” Lu Shu asked with glee.

A student from a wealthy family said to his classmates around him, “I have 1400 dollars here. Some of you lend me some, I’ll return you guys when I get out.”

A few of them gathered 2100 dollars and the rich student passed the money to Lu Shu, “For a sword.”

Lu Shu looked at him and thought in his heart. How are you the same as the soldiers and the heavenly network? He then retrieved the ax he kept for a long time from his back, “Here. You’re different from them. They had battled through hardship while you were enjoying the safety at the back without risking anything. Your 2100 dollars can get you this.”

This rich student looked at the glowing swords in the hands of the others and then back at the rusty ax in Lu Shu’s hand…

“From Guo Xiang’s distress, +489!”

Lu Shu continued to speak gleefully, “Don’t look down on the outlook of this ax. I stole it from the hands of a skeleton as well, it’s extremely sharp.”

Upon hearing the word ‘stole’, the members of the heavenly network at the side were immediately reminded of that giveaway they encountered previously… Why did this douche like stealing so much?!

“From Zhao Xuanyu’s distress, +66…”

“From…”

As he finished, Lu Shu turned around and swung the ax at the rock wall. A deep graze appeared on the wall and he then pointed the ax at Guo Xiang, “Do you want it.”

Guo Xiang felt that if he said he didn’t want it, this guy looked as if he would kill him any moment. Moreover, this ax was much stronger than he initially thought. Guo Xiang grit his teeth and replied, “I want it!”

Lu Shu took the 2100 dollars from Guo Xiang and said, “I finally got rid of this ax.”

Guo Xiang felt uncomfortable, “Do you really have to say this in my face?!”

“From Guo Xiang’s distress, +599!”

Although Guo Xiang and the other daoyuan students had resentment towards Lu Shu, the heavenly network and the soldiers saw Lu Shu in a different light due to the words he said previously. This kid had upright morals and values!

One of the members of the heavenly network tested him, “Can I owe you first and return you the money once we get out?” Judging from Lu Shu’s words previously, he had high hopes for asking this question.

Lu Shu then retracted his sword and spear, “This is just a small business, no credit.”

This… You don’t even have a business alright!

In just a short period of time, all the survivors on this mountain contributed to Lu Shu’s distress points which made him extremely gleeful.

At this moment, he still had 14 broadswords from his initial 17 and he still had his metal sword although his ax was sold. As for the spears, none of the 18 were sold.

In fact, many of the people here couldn’t establish the link between exchanging the weapons for training techniques. Only a few smart people understood this theory but Lu Shu was not in a rush. Once there was a chance, he would explain it to them even if they didn’t understand…

Lu Shu carried his weapons and walked inside. Everyone thought it looked rather unsightly and Liu Xuanyu asked nicely, “It’s rather inconvenient for you, let me help you with some.”

Lu Shu looked at him cautiously, “It’s okay, I can handle it.”

He continued moving forward after finishing his sentence. It seemed like he was in a decent mood as he was humming a song as he walked.

Liu Xuanyu’s face turned black. What kind of practitioner was he? This was a little too much!

In reality, they never understood how Lu Shu lived his life…

It was a rocky path in the narrow canyon. The distance separating the two rock walls by the side was also consistent. It was as if this road was man-made.

The further they went in, the colder they felt.

Everyone looked up above the canyon and all they could see was a white light exuberating from a high ground. When the white ray reached where they were, it had already diminished into a fading grey light.

Everyone felt nervous as they walked even deeper. Lu Shu was the only one humming a song as if he had nothing to fear.

He wasn’t sure why, but Liu Xuanyu knew that he would hear from this Lu Shu within the heavenly network in the future even though this kid only had tier F aptitude.
