Chapter 585: Lop Nur Remains

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After careful consideration, Lu Shu decided not to rashly give the fruits to Lu Xiaoyu . His near death experience while undergoing the awakening remained fresh in his mind . He was somewhat traumatized .

It was not impossible for him to sell the fruits . In reality, some big families bought fruits like these too . For some families, there was only one successor . Although the successor wanted to undergo an awakening, they did not have the ability to do so . Thus, they chose to do so with the aid of external tools .

Awakening mainly depended on one’s aptitude and class . Although some people did not undergo an awakening, there were cases where they advanced to Class C after eating fruits . There was even one case where someone had advanced to Class B through this method .

This was also the reason why these fruits were in great demand .

Although the big families controlled the world economy, they had no relation to the realm of cultivation . Their money could not be used to buy fruits . But these families likely had rare items whose magical properties were discovered after the magical era .

There were many mythical objects and tools scattered in various places around the world . With the rise of the magical era, more and more of these items were discovered .

Lu Shu felt that Lu Xiaoyu’s strength was decent . There was no need to risk her life in order to undergo such an awakening . He felt that it was wiser to reserve one fruit for future use, and exchange the other fruit for a mythical object to give to Lu Xiaoyu .

Lu Xiaoyu’s ability to speak to animals could probably be her special ability . No one knew how this ability would advance in the future .

Lu Shu looked at the hire section of the website . There were still many tasks posted on the page . It seemed like famous experts from around the world were being offered rewards…

The Darkness Kingdom used the value of the rewards to determine the level of one’s abilities . Those with higher rewards were more impressive…

When people hired these experts, they would use the value of the rewards as an estimate to guide their quotes .

It was said that during the dawn of the magical era, a Class C expert felt that the rewards he was offered were too low, thus he raised the quote of his rewards . When a veteran saw this, he was very happy . What a large reward for such a simple task! Thus, he killed the practitioner and got the reward . As a result, the name of this Class C expert became famous within the Darkness Kingdom . Since then, no one dared to boost their social class by increasing the value of their rewards .

There were all kinds of fish in the sea . There were many idiotic Metahumans as well…

“Dong dong dong!”

Lu Shu suddenly heard someone knocking on the door . He opened the door and saw Li Yixiao and Nalan Que . He was dumbfounded . “Is something the matter?”

Li Yixiao held a bag of vegetables in his hand . He smiled and said, “Aren’t you lonely by yourself? We came here to make you a meal . ”

“We can just eat at your house too . ” Lu Shu laughed .

“Don’t you have the slightest idea why I no longer allow you to come to my house?” Li Yixiao said angrily .

Nalan Que took the ingredients and walked into the kitchen, giving Li Yixiao and Lu Shu room to talk . Li Yixiao pulled Lu Shu over to the living room . “Have you heard? No one from the Heavenly Network went to the South American ruins . We don’t have enough manpower overseas . As patriotic members, how could we turn a blind eye to this?”

Lu Shu gave a cold laugh . “Ha ha . ”

Lu Shu realized that Li Yixiao had come here to win his support . Nie Ting must have given Li Yixiao an impressive reward to do so . Otherwise, Li Yixiao would not want to be involved in this matter . But he did not expect Li Yixiao to suddenly change the subject . “Fine . I know you are not willing to do . Then you won’t know that there are signs of the Lop Nur remains opening . ”

Lop Nur? Lu Shu was silent . Lop Nur was in the southeast part of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region . This place was often associated with a depopulated zone and an abnormal incident . There was also another name for this place .

Lu Shu asked, “Loulan Kingdom?”

Li Yixiao shook his head . “Lop Nur is very strange . No one knows if it is related to the Loulan Kingdom . It may be something else . ”

Lu Shu nodded his head . He had previously researched on the place out of interest . After the mysterious disappearance of some explorers, their corpses were found kilometers away . Female corpses, dating back thousands of years ago, were found in perfect condition in some cemeteries . They found massive man-eating lizards in caves as well . There were many strange happenings there, some of which remained a mystery till present day . Reports of some incidents had been passed down incorrectly, causing them to become increasingly distorted . One could not arbitrarily say that the remains and the Loulan Kingdom were related . It might be something else .

Lu Shu’s interest was piqued . He would not go overseas, but if the remains were in the country, why not take a look?

They did not necessarily have to go to the remains to retrieve relics . After all, he could not go so far as to have a life-or-death fight with the Heavenly Kings . But the problem was, the items in the remains were not limited to just relics . Perhaps there would be a large volume of mystic water as well…

People like Nalan Que, who were not part of the Heavenly Network, could not explore these remains . Thus, Li Yixiao immediately thought of cooperating with Lu Shu .

At that moment, Li Yixiao received a call . Nie Ting said calmly over the phone, “This time, Chen Baili will take the lead . The rest of the Heavenly Kings will guard their original places . You are not allowed to leave your post without permission . The students from the Cultivation Colleges are heading towards Lop Nur . Only military training students whose abilities are above Class E may participate in this exploration . They will set off from the military camp . ”

After he finished speaking, Nie Ting hung up . Li Yixiao rigidly looked at Lu Shu . “Looks like the two of us can’t go . ”

Lu Shu shook his head . “You can’t go, but I can…”

Li Yixiao was dumbfounded . “But you didn’t make it in time for the Cultivation College exam . ”

“But I received special permission from Nie Ting to go to school,” said Lu Shu with a smile .

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +666!”

Lu Shu immediately called Zhong Yutang . “Hello, Zhong Yutang? I’ve thought about it . For things like the military training, everyone must be treated equally without discrimination . I can’t say that just because I have participated before, means that I can flaunt the rules and not take part in the training again . After a lot of consideration, I feel that not only do I have to participate, I also have to train my perseverance!”

Zhong Yutang was silent .

“From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +666!”

“Hello, Zhong Yutang? Are you listening?” Lu Shu asked .

“Yes,” Zhong Yutang had a headache . “Hurry up and pack your things . Part of the group heading towards the ruins has already set off . If you rush to the military camp now, you can still make it in time for the last military truck…”

“The remains are opening?” Lu Shu looked very surprised . “Look at you, don’t I have to rush to the remains now? Ha ha ha, I’ll go there and join in the fun!”

Zhong Yutang hung up without another word .
