Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1431 - 1433: Shaving Off a Zero
Lu Xiaobu changed his clothes and followed Mr. Wang to Medicine King Valley.
Originally, he wanted Mr. Wang to not go and to check his injuries first, but Mr. Wang didn’t listen and insisted on going.
Moreover, Lu Hongbin also went with them.
He chose to bring the dumbass and Lu Hongbin to prevent any more accidents.
With them by his side, he could feel at ease.
...
Full speed ahead.
Very soon, the group arrived at Medicine King Valley and met up with Elder Yu and the others.
"Why did you suddenly want me to bring the Five Elements Spiritual Items over?! Forget it, let’s not talk about that for now!"
Elder Yu asked a question but quickly realized that the matter wasn’t important at the moment.
The situation was already set, and those things could be discussed later.
"What’s happening inside the Inner Valley?" Lu Xiaobu asked as he walked.
"Can’t see clearly, it’s all mist," Elder Yu shook his head, "Even X-rays can’t detect anything wrong!"
"Alright, I’ll go in and take a look first. Big brother, keep an eye on the dumbass," Lu Xiaobu nodded and handed the dumbass to Lu Hongbin.
"Okay," Lu Hongbin pressed down the dumbass who was about to shout and nodded, "Be careful."
"I know," Lu Xiaobu rolled up his sleeves and walked forward.
Five Elements Attribute, activate!
Passing through the entrance of the Inner Valley of Medicine King Valley, Lu Xiaobu hadn’t even looked around.
He immediately felt a strong push force. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Ten seconds later, it turned into a pulling force.
And, just like before, the sound of thumping, like a heartbeat, clearly echoed in his ears.
"No wonder big brother and the others said it was a heartbeat, isn’t it just a heartbeat," Lu Xiaobu muttered to himself.
As he spoke, he surveyed the situation in front of him.
Sure enough, just like Elder Yu said, it was full of mist here, almost solidifying into tangible, droplet-like substances, blocking the view.
Visibility was definitely less than fifty meters.
Hmm, need to exit the highway at the nearest exit!
Oops, got off track!
Lu Xiaobu had all his Five Elements Attributes activated, so he could clearly see that these were energy liquids condensed from Five Element Spiritual Energy.
"It seems that the array existing in Medicine King Valley itself was prepared for this purpose,"
Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, his gaze seemingly penetrating the dense mist to see the boundary of Medicine King Valley!
When he first came to Medicine King Valley, someone had already told him that there was an array here that prevented monitoring equipment from seeing inside it.
At the time, he thought that Medicine King Valley had concocted it themselves.
But now it seemed that Medicine King Valley was just occupying someone else’s nest!
This array and the ancient tree existed here originally!
Of course, the specific purpose of this array—whether it was for sealing or opening—was unknown!
And before Lu Xiaobu could take a closer look,
the system spoke, no, the system origin spoke.
"Are you going to upgrade or not?"
The system origin bluntly threw out a sentence.
This voice inexplicably had a tone of aggrievedness!
"Why are you out?" Lu Xiaobu was stunned.
Such a thing had never happened before.
"Never mind! Just asking if you want to upgrade!" the system origin said bluntly.
The system origin felt very upset.
He had actually fallen to the point of having to actively ask the host if an upgrade was needed!
Others’ hosts always begged the system, but here it was completely the other way around!
But what choice did he have?!
Within this environment, coupled with that jerk, if nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be found again!
Was he supposed to wait for Lu Xiaobu to find him again, then pull down his pants and get to work?!
He didn’t want that!
So, it’s better to take the initiative!
At least maintain some dignity!
What?! You’re saying I’m actively soliciting clients?!
Shut up! Shut up! Everyone shut up!
No! Absolutely not!
"Alright, any requirements?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled.
Why not upgrade if you can?!
"Fine, give me 80 billion for squandering," the system origin voiced.
"Lower the price," Lu Xiaobu frowned, bargaining.
"I didn’t even charge high, okay?!" the system origin was furious!
This stuff even comes with bargaining?!
"Stop talking nonsense and lower the price. If you lower it, I’ll upgrade," Lu Xiaobu said earnestly.
The system origin gritted its teeth, wishing to rush out and fight him!
What?! It’s really turned into me begging you to upgrade?!
Lu Xiaobu, don’t go too far!
"I’m not asking for much, just throw me a bone," Lu Xiaobu chimed in.
"Phew!" The system origin let out a long breath and said through clenched teeth, "Okay, you say, how much."
"Round it off, 8 billion!" Lu Xiaobu earnestly spouted nonsense.
"Goodbye!" The system origin turned to leave!
Damn your bone-throwing!
Damn your rounding off!
Your rounding off simply wipes out a zero?!
From 80 billion to 8 billion?!
This is true rounding off!
Damn it! I’m quitting! Do as you please!
Upgrade if you want!
How is my fate so lamentable?! To encounter such a ridiculous host!
You deserve the scolding from your dog at home!
"Okay, okay, 78 billion, how about it?" Lu Xiaobu hurriedly stopped the furious system origin.
"Alright, deal!" The system origin really didn’t want to see this guy any longer.
Damn, not even enough for the cost!
Still have to pony up some cash myself!
Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.
Acting like you’re so aggrieved!
To think, at the beginning, how much did a single attribute’s full-point price cost?!
billion!
And now!
billion!
Did all the difference not go into someone’s, ahem, some system’s pockets?!
Now just having you pay up a little!
Acting like I’m bullying you!
The system origin went off to handle upgrade matters!
"Upgrading, energy detected, absorbing energy!"
With the system’s prompt, Lu Xiaobu suddenly saw that the droplet-like energy around him began to flood into his body rapidly!
A huge vortex formed around his body, voraciously devouring the surrounding energy like a bottomless pit!
It seems the system’s reason for upgrading was the discovery of this energy.
Well, not bad at all.
Since the system started upgrading, Lu Xiaobu was in no rush to explore the area; he would wait until the upgrade was complete!
...
Lu Xiaobu waited quietly, the surrounding energy continuously surged towards him.
Before long, the mist here even thinned out.
Lu Xiaobu clicked his tongue slightly, did the upgrade require this much energy?!
Could the system be selling it?!
Quite possible indeed!
Other systems might not pull something like this, but his system would handle this sort of thing with ease.
Just as Lu Xiaobu was thinking about this,
"Upgrade complete!" the system dropped a line and vanished.
Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin—feeling guilty?! Really sold it, huh?! Damned system!
