Chapter 584: Revisiting the Darkness Kingdom
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
You Mingyu talked with the secret practitioners for a full two hours . After their meeting, the secret practitioners walked out of the room . When they saw Lu Shu, they each respectfully greeted Lu Shu . “Greetings, The Venerable . ”
“Go do what you have to do . ” Lu Shu nodded his head . The secret practitioners in this black market who did not know You Mingyu, the Lord, and the Venerable, were likely new to the black market .
The veterans in the Route 301 black market knew one thing . They could not provoke these three people . The Lord loved to covet small advantages, but had no ill intentions . The Venerable was often buoyant, but his words pierced the heart . You Mingyu seemed weak, but had murderous intent behind his smile .
When some new secret practitioners heard about this, they held their chest in shock . “Pierce the heart?! How?”
A group of people by the side started laughing . “He doesn’t literally pierce your heart . It means that his words are often quite harsh . ”
“Oh…” The new practitioner heaved a sigh of relief . He had thought that the Route 301 black market was dangerous . There was even someone who liked to go around piercing other people’s hearts! But it seemed like that was not the case…
After the meeting, a group of secret practitioners ran to the toilet . You Mingyu followed closely behind them . This was the problem with meetings in the country . Meetings often lasted for two long hours . There were even meetings that lasted for a whole day . You had to have a strong bladder if you wanted to sit through everything .
Lu Shu also felt like going to the toilet after waiting for so long . He did not plan to make use of his water-type abilities to earn distress points . After all, You Mingyu knew that he possessed such abilities . He could not be too obvious while making use of them .
A group of people stood at the urinal, chatting as they went about their business . After they were done, they shook the remaining drops of urine off . But they all looked on helplessly as You Mingyu took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket and wiped…

Lu Shu was confused . Was he so delicate .
The group of secret practitioners stood by You Mingyu . They could only stand in silence…
You Mingyu acted as if nothing had happened . He shouted to Lu Shu, “Let’s go . The thing I need to pass to you is still in my office . ”
The secret practitioners could finally heave a sigh of relief after You Mingyu left . Lu Shu waited until there was no one around them before asking, “Is it from Heavenly King Nie?”
“It’s from Heavenly King Shi . It’s a USB,” said You Mingyu .
He returned to his office and opened the safe . He retrieved a USB from inside the safe and passed it to Lu Shu . Lu Shu was dumbfounded . It looked exactly like the USB he got from Anthony!
You Mingyu said, “This is the secret key to access the Darkness Kingdom . Each USB corresponds to one identity . We got our hands on this USB from an intelligence agent, so have no worries using it . ”
As he spoke, You Mingyu passed a document to Lu Shu . “This contains information regarding that person’s identity . After all, the USB is connected to the person’s identity . It would be best if you are familiar with it . He is not active in the Darkness Kingdom, but there will be people who will recognize his ID . ”
Lu Shu took out the document from the folder . He took a look and felt that something was wrong . There was something unique about this information . The person was as tall as Lu Shu, and his face shape was similar to that of Lu Shu’s .
He was an overseas Chinese businessman and secret practitioner called Li Teng . He sold low-end information from within the country overseas .
In reality, spies were not as lofty as they were depicted in movies . They could make money just selling a picture or a sentence . Even information regarding the country’s commodity prices could be exchanged for money .
Lu Shu looked at the information and asked, “Do outsiders not know that he has been captured by the Heavenly Network?”

You Mingyu laughed . “Looks like you already know . But Heavenly King Shi did not give me any other instructions, nor did he assign you any tasks . ”
“Got it . ” Lu Shu realized that the Heavenly Network had done most of the preparations for him . As long as he was willing to do it, he could start immediately .
“Actually, have you considered this before? We are connected to many people when we carry out work overseas . There is a chance that if one prospers, everyone prospers but if one suffers, everyone suffers . Perhaps someone will die because of one of your decisions . But if we approach it from another angle, the stronger the person in this role, the fewer the people who will be sacrificed . ” You Mingyu softly said, “The task will not change . If you and I do not go, someone else will go, because that is our mission . But if an expert like you takes on the task, you would be able to save a few lives that would otherwise be sacrificed . Am I right?”
“Yes . I’ll take my leave first . ” Lu Shu turned and walked away while waving goodbye .
You Mingyu stood behind Lu Shu in silence . He could understand what Lu Shu was thinking . Back then, his colleague, who was a planted agent, was sacrificed in order to help Lu Shu obtain information . You Mingyu also felt very remorseful .
It was easier said than done . No one could be completely cold-hearted while standing in that position .
Lu Shu did not have a computer at home . After he received a new USB, he bought a laptop . When he plugged in the USB, the Darkness Kingdom website popped up automatically .
Lu Shu had not seen this website for a long time . He first clicked on the trading page and found many strange items . All the items that the Darkness Kingdom officials had pinned on the page were fruits that could allow people to undergo awakenings . Some of the fruits were labeled to have awakening properties, while others were still unknown . Out of those whose awakening properties were known, the most common ones were still the elemental fruits . There were also a few unique ones like lightning fruits .
These fruits could only be exchanged with rare items . They did not accept cash or magical stones . From this, one would understand the large organizations’ attitude towards cash and magical stones when handling such first-rate items .
Lu Shu browsed the demands of these vendors . Most demanded for rare items of equal value . Some even specifically requested for mythical objects with weapon spirits .
He suddenly realized that he still had two fruits from the Salt Lake relics .
Back then, he had lied that the plant produced refresher fruit in order to give Chen Baili the refresher fruits . But in reality, this was not the case .
He had awakened his water-type abilities after eating one of the fruits, but he did not eat the rest . The core of the fruit he had eaten was still in the Seal of Lands .
All along, he had been hesitating whether he wanted to feed the fruits to Lu Xiaoyu . Back then, he had almost lost consciousness when the water-type abilities assimilated with him . This made Lu Shu understand that the fruit was not suitable for those with stronger abilities .
One had to proceed in sequence when awakening other types of abilities . When he ate a Class C fruit, the water-type abilities were so powerful that they directly advanced to Class C . People usually went in the order of Class F, Class E, Class D and Class C, but Lu Shu had skipped these levels . Thus, his body could not bear the assimilation process .
If he had eaten a Class B fruit, he probably would have died .

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
