Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1418 - 1420: Gamble
"What are you going to do?!" Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a bad premonition.
"Just raising the stakes!" Lu Xiaobu sneered.
He didn’t call home but directly dialed Elder Yu.
"Xiaobu, what’s wrong?" Elder Yu asked in confusion.
Lu Xiaobu rarely called him.
"Two things," Lu Xiaobu cut straight to the point, "First, send someone to protect my people! I know we’re short-handed, but please do your best!"
Elder Yu didn’t ask for specifics, just nodded, "Alright, I’ll do my best! I’ll deploy our latest equipment!"
Lin Feng shrugged upon hearing this, not taking it seriously.
With a hundred thousand employees, the Lu Group is one of Lu Xiaobu’s sources of arrogance yet also his biggest weakness.
Even if all employees stayed inside the Lu Group premises, what about their parents?! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
If something happens to their parents, they can’t just sit still!
If they take action, the company executives can’t just stand by!
If the executives take action, can the Lu Family just sit and watch?!
Remember, this family is not heartless or uncaring!
One slip, and sorry, unless you’re all like Lu Xiaobu!
Otherwise, can you, unprepared, handle my arrangement?!
No disrespect, but I simply disdain you!
So, Lin Feng focused on the second matter.
Elder Yu knew about this too, so he listened quietly.
"The second thing, send the Five Elements Spiritual Items to the base of the ancient tree at the Medicine King Valley!" Lu Xiaobu said through gritted teeth, "Oh, and remember to evacuate the people from Medicine King Valley!"
"What?!" Elder Yu jumped up at these words, "Didn’t you say the current situation is best not to do this?! It’s risky!"
"I know, but now there’s no time! I’ll take responsibility for the consequences! I won’t say more now!" Lu Xiaobu directly hung up the phone.
Elder Yu listened to the dial tone, falling into silence!
Send the Five Elements Spiritual Items to Medicine King Valley?
He felt a pang of anxiety!
According to their and Lu Xiaobu’s joint speculation, if the Five Elements Spiritual Items gather under the resurrected ancient tree, it would undoubtedly cause a resurgence of spiritual energy across the world!
It might even open the door to another world!
And the current Water Blue Star is not prepared for this!
Their original plan was to attempt this five years later!
Why has it been advanced so much now?!
However, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and chose to – do it!
"Elder Wang, have people take the Five Elements Spiritual Items and head out! Medicine King Valley!" Elder Yu made the order with gritted teeth!
Lu Xiaobu, I’m putting everything on the line for you!
You said it, you’re responsible!
...
Lin Feng looked at the hung-up phone and asked Lu Xiaobu with a frown, "What did you do?! Sending the Five Elements Spiritual Items to Medicine King Valley?! What will it do?! What will happen?!"
"Aren’t you forcing me to gamble my life with you now?! Then I’ll force you to not dare to gamble your life with me!" Lu Xiaobu’s eyes glinted fiercely.
"What do you mean?!" Lin Feng squinted, his body starting to tremble involuntarily!
He felt something big was about to happen!
"Simple! With your character, Lin Feng, if you discover the existence of another world, would you still choose to gamble your life with me here?!"
Lu Xiaobu squinted and said, "Don’t I know you?! Choosing to battle to the death with me here is largely because there’s no other fun left, right?!"
He understood this feeling; when he was cultivating his mind earlier, wasn’t it for this reason?!
Life felt dull!
Now Lin Feng is risking his life, essentially for the same root cause!
In the real world, he has no more ambitions!
In the Jianghu, he has half the power!
Out of boredom, he obsessively chose to have a go with Lu Xiaobu!
Using the most brilliant decision to end his life with a full stop!
Don’t think this is crazy; it’s quite normal.
Remember the example used before?!
Why do some teenage geniuses end up choosing suicide?!
The reasoning is almost the same!
So, the question is, if I present you with a new world, will you still want to risk your life with me?!
"Another world?!" Lin Feng’s pupils contracted sharply, "What do you mean?!"
"Nothing much! Just another unknown world!" Lu Xiaobu smirked – he took the bait!
I’ll see if you dare to play!
"Are you serious?!" Lin Feng no longer cared if he exposed his emotions.
His heart was racing wildly!
Lu Xiaobu was spot on with his speculation!
It was because this was his only remaining fun that he chose to gamble his life today!
But!
If what Lu Xiaobu said is true, he really doesn’t want to end it here!
Another world!
What will there be?!
Immortals?! Monsters?! A world of technology?! A fantasy world?!
Even if it’s just another normal world, it still holds enough allure for him!
Moreover, the other side definitely won’t be an ordinary world!
This is easy to guess!
A world that requires the Five Elements Spiritual Items to open, how could it be ordinary?!
My God! My God! My God!
Lin Feng’s heartbeat quickened, almost forming a single line!
This is an absolute attraction for him!
"Don’t know," Lu Xiaobu shrugged, opting for honesty, "It’s called a gamble because it’s uncertain, right?!"
Giving Lin Feng absolute assurances was more likely to arouse his suspicion.
Hence, being honest is more likely to make Lin Feng choose to believe!
Lin Feng didn’t reply.
His fingers started tapping on the table beside him.
Randomly, but very fast!
And, getting faster and faster!
Until it almost matched his heartbeat, forming a single line!
"Tap tap tap tap tap tap!"
If what Lu Xiaobu said becomes reality!
He really wouldn’t choose this moment to desperately fight Lu Xiaobu!
Wanting to fight can completely happen later, there’s no need to ignore the new world in front of him and choose to insist!
Besides, he’s not about to die immediately!
At the current rate, there are still six months!
Bet on it?! Bet on it?!
The thought constantly rose in Lin Feng’s heart!
About ten minutes later, Lin Feng’s heartbeat gradually calmed down, his eyes still showing intense excitement, but he mostly returned to normal!
"Come on! Lu Xiaobu, let’s have a fight! Regardless of what we say?! We still have to go through a match!" Lin Feng stood up, his eyes bursting with strong fighting spirit!
Regardless of truth or success, a fight is still necessary!
However, his heart kept trembling – really! This is the first time he hoped Lu Xiaobu could win the bet and reveal a new world!
