Chapter 98 caused a sensation! We're rich! A new secret recipe has been created! (Seeking monthly votes)
When Lu Yu returned to reality with the little spider and the sulking mouse, it was already afternoon.
The intense sunlight streamed through the window, transforming into a beam of light that, like a ribbon, floated through the room. Upon closer inspection, one could see dust particles dancing in the light.
Compared to people who are busy all their lives, they drift leisurely forever, traveling across mountains and rivers.
From the summit of a high mountain, one can see the mighty river surging; atop the peaks, one can feel the vastness of the wind.
Occasionally, they would visit ordinary people's homes and stay for months at a time, waiting for the breeze to carry them on their next journey.
But in the end, it is still itself.
As Lu Yu watched this scene, his heart suddenly calmed down, and the tension he had been feeling for some time eased. He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes to rest, and did not enter the Dream Prison to train. He just took a nap, just like an ordinary person.
The little spider beside him covered him with a blanket and then began to weave a gift for its owner with its silk. The mouse did not make a fuss.
It was tired because it could only see Xiuren all the time...
However, the mouse was restless by nature, and when it got too bored, it went to play rock-paper-scissors with its clone, Mouse Number One.
turn out……
Lost for half an hour straight!
The soul clone was too diligent, and even when the rat tried to persuade it, it didn't hold back at all, losing so badly that it started to doubt its own existence.
Even his own clone couldn't win...
At that moment, the mouse suddenly felt that this kid looked like a thief with shifty eyes and a rebellious nature, and was already on the verge of death. He should not be allowed to live!
I decisively pulled it back into my body!
"That feels so good."
After sleeping for more than an hour, Lu Yu woke up and found that his spiritual power had not only not slackened, but had actually increased slightly, becoming more refined and bringing him one step closer to the mid-level Silver rank.
"Looks like I'll need to balance work and rest from now on."
He stretched and was just about to get up when he saw the little spider hand him a white short-sleeved shirt.
Lu Yu picked it up and saw that the short-sleeved shirt was made of spider silk and had cute cartoon versions of the three of them embroidered on it, colored with watercolor pens from home. It looked adorable.
Oh my god,
My little spider can even make clothes now, it's so virtuous!
She shouldn't be called the Weaver Star at all; she should be called the Weaver Girl.
Lu Yu was shocked, and then, under the expectant gaze of the little spider, he took off his t-shirt and prepared to change his clothes.
"You perverted Xiu Ren, you didn't even tell me you were changing clothes!"
Upon seeing this, the mouse next to it immediately covered its eyes with its paws, spreading its fingers as wide as possible, its pair of shiny black eyes curiously scanning up and down, able to see the obvious muscle lines on Xiu Ren's body.
Lu Yu has the kind of physique that is "slim when dressed, muscular when undressed," with broad shoulders, narrow hips, and a slender build, possessing a masculine beauty that fits the mainstream aesthetic of beast tamers.
Seeing the rat's pretentious behavior, Lu Yu immediately put it back into his beast-taming space, then changed into the perfect-grade spider silk woven clothes before releasing it.
"That despicable Xiu Ren! He locked us in a dark room without a second thought! There's no trust left between humans and rats!"
The angry mouse swelled up, physically expanding into a round, bulging balloon, to show how angry it was.
"Hahaha...it itches...don't touch it...oh no..."
As a result, Lu Yu simply reached out and scratched its ribs, which made the mouse burst out laughing. Then, like a deflated balloon, it crashed into the ceiling and stuck to it, like a relief sculpture, having lost its dream.
Lu Yu ignored it and looked down at his new clothes.
The first impression upon putting them on is that the size is just right. The spider silk fits the skin perfectly, is breathable and comfortable, does not easily attract dust, and also has strong protective capabilities.
Wearing it is like wearing a super armor.
"No wonder the Darkmoon Merchant Guild uses it to make stockings; they are indeed comfortable. But wouldn't this be equivalent to wearing stockings on my body...? No, how could I have such a thought? It's just that the raw materials are the same..."
Lu Yu inwardly complained, but outwardly remained calm, reaching out to pat the little spider's head and saying with a smile:
"The clothes are very nice, I like them very much!"
"Eek!" The little spider enjoyed the warm caress of the big hand, its lips curving upwards, and it secretly decided to prepare to weave more clothes for its master.
The mouse in the air saw this scene and fell into deep thought.
Silently corrupting people with substances, making them dependent on her—what a shrewd tactic of the boss!
Hmph, but it can do that too!
But Xiu Ren is already angry with himself. If he doesn't appease the rat properly, he'll suffer the consequences in the future! (The fruit of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree)
Lu Yu looked at himself in the mirror a few times, then smiled at his two pet beasts and said:
"Let's go shopping today!"
"Eek!"
"Great!"
Both the little spider and the mouse cheered with joy, especially the latter, who completely forgot that he was just full of resentment. He rode the cloud and rushed to the front, shouting, "The mouse will lead the charge!"
He looked like a child who hadn't been out to play in a long time, and kept urging Xiuren to hurry up and catch up.
Lu Yu let them make a ruckus and strolled leisurely down the street, but this peace was soon disrupted.
Because the mouse's appearance was so amazing, it attracted a crowd of onlookers who thought it was some kind of cloud-type pet. They kept asking where he bought it and how it evolved, making a lot of noise, which made Lu Yu have to hurry up and leave.
Afterwards, the mouse became afraid of being stared at, so it adjusted its soul field. This ability was not invisibility, but rather the release of a special soul frequency that made ordinary people subconsciously ignore it.
It can significantly reduce one's presence, similar to a low-budget version of invisibility or being hypnotized into ignoring one's presence.
The weaker the mental strength, the stronger the effect.
This reduced a lot of trouble.
Since they hadn't eaten lunch, Lu Yu simply took them to a barbecue restaurant that specialized in selling extraordinary monsters—Scorpion-tailed Bulls.
Scorpion-tailed bulls are high-ranking demonic servants that resemble ordinary bulls but have scorpion tails. They are gentle in nature, but will attack with their venomous scorpion tails when threatened.
It is unclear whether this is due to the toxins used to protect them, but the meat of scorpion-tailed cattle is more tender than that of ordinary cattle and contains spiritual power. As a result, it is highly sought after by beast tamers, leading to the establishment of several breeding bases that specialize in raising scorpion-tailed cattle to supply several restaurants.
This "Scorpion King" barbecue restaurant was one that Lu Yu's parents had taken him to before. The environment and the taste were both good. He gave each of the two little guys a plate of secret barbecue sauce, and then started grilling the meat under their expectant eyes. When the meat changed color and sizzled with oil, he started to divide it equally.
They dipped the food in sauce, ate it in one bite, and all three of them wore expressions of happiness.
That's the happiness of eating meat.
It has to be said that the meat of extraordinary monsters is indeed much more delicate than ordinary meat, and it contains spiritual power. Even the elegant little spider ate until its mouth was bulging, and the mouse even shouted "Heaven!" and started frantically adding meat.
After all, one is a top-tier overlord cub and the other is a monarch-level cub, both of whom need to eat meat to supplement their nutrition.
When it came time to pay the bill, Lu Yu looked at the bill of over 30,000 yuan... and his heart was bleeding!
As I stepped out of the barbecue restaurant, the sunset faded into the bright starry sky, and suddenly it was evening.
He went to the Dark Moon Merchant Guild, but this time he didn't see Huang Tiantian, the human scroll king, and wondered if she was too tired to scroll anymore.
However, even without her, there were other receptionists. Lu Yu planned to clean up some unused loot and materials and sell them off directly.
These included weapons stolen by the limb-splitting demon, two special mist artifacts, some random, unidentified potions, and the remains of an unfortunate adventurer, among other things...
As for the blood parasites becoming ritual materials for creating new limb-splitting demons, even though they could fetch a high price, Lu Yu didn't intend to sell them, preferring to keep them to enhance the rat's [Thousand Faces Touch].
Besides him, many other adventurers also successfully fought back and killed the limb-splitting demon in this incident, obtaining some loot to sell.
So the receptionist had learned from experience and just asked him to take it out. Even though Lu Yu reminded her, she said it was no problem.
The result was... the sheer number of items, like a small mountain, instantly caused a sensation within the Chamber of Commerce. The receptionist, dressed in a slicked-back black stockings, gaped in disbelief, drawing shocked glances from many.
Although not all of them are necessarily valuable, the sheer number of them makes up for it!
Did this person raid the hideout of a limb-splitting monster?
The Darkmoon Merchant Guild reacted quickly, immediately sending a specialist to oversee the inspection, who happened to be the same appraiser from the previous inspection.
He had already heard the news from behind, but when he came out and recognized the boy from the last transaction, he was still surprised and couldn't help but think, "The younger generation is truly formidable."
After half an hour of evaluation, one million was used to purchase the ingredients for the secret recipe from the Chamber of Commerce, leaving more than one million.
During this time, the other party once again requested to purchase the spider silk, especially after learning that the little spider had advanced to the elite rank and that the spider silk was of perfect quality, and was willing to raise the price to 500,000.
Lu Yu resolutely refused.
Just kidding, these little spiders are now elite level, and their silk is perfect. How could they even dare to ask for less than 600,000?
Besides, the spider silk can be used on myself, so there's no rush to sell it.
The appraiser was disappointed, but offering a higher price would mean less profit.
For capitalists, earning less is equivalent to losing money.
After the transaction was completed and the money was deposited into his card, Lu Yu felt a strong sense of security.
Our family is rich again!
After leaving the Darkmoon Merchant Guild, Lu Yu transferred one million to Yu Xiyan via online banking, in accordance with the Alliance's mission reward standards.
That mysterious holy light strike turned the tide of battle for him, allowing him to successfully obtain two high-level materials: the Thousand-Faced Demon and the Wilderness Ant, justifying the price. If it weren't for her, he probably would have already sent a message to explain; his current silence is the best answer.
Although Yu Xiyan is not as simple as she seems, it has nothing to do with Lu Yu. After all, everyone has their own secrets, right?
As for the bank card number, Lu Yu had already obtained it from Yu Xiyan when they were discussing the plan, and they also added the contact information to facilitate communication.
He knew that if he asked for the card number afterward, he would most likely not have to pay.
This can save you a lot of money.
However, Lu Yu disliked taking advantage of others' affection to trample on such deep feelings, no matter how eloquently they spoke, it was all rubbish.
Regardless of whether things will progress further in the future, the best relationship is one where neither owes the other anything.
What's more, now that he has the little spider and the mouse by his side, he has only one thought in his mind: to see the view from a higher place.
Let's see if that forbidden sun is truly high above, never to set.
Ding!
Not long after the money was transferred, Lu Yu's phone vibrated. He glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Yu Xiyan.
[Qingwu: I received a sum of money. Did you transfer it to me? (Kitten rolling around, jpg)]
[Moya: Hmm.]
[Qingwu: Looks like I've had quite a harvest. (Little cat smirks, jpg)]
[Twilight Raven: Things didn't go quite as planned because of the big battle, and I didn't dare get close. However, because you disrupted the ritual, I found a hidden hideout with a lot of loot from the limb-splitting demons. I made a fortune, so this is your share.]
[Qingwu: I see, that's amazing. But isn't this a lot of money? I don't think it's necessary.]
[Moya: This is what you deserve.]
The two chatted for a while, and just as Lu Yu was about to end the conversation, he suddenly saw a message she had sent.
[Qingwu: The full moon resides in the night sky]
Full moon?
Lu Yu glanced at the bright and shining Primordial Moon. It was indeed very beautiful, but the Primordial Moon was a full moon most of the time, and only on certain specific days would it become a waning moon, which was not strange.
However, it's normal for girls to be a little artistic. But Lu Yu, who was busy making his skill-based secret food at home, didn't feel anything for it. So he replied, "The moon is beautiful tonight," and then quickly ended the conversation.
Women will only slow down the speed at which he becomes stronger.
On the other side, on the rooftop of a building, Yu Xiyan wore a beige crochet cardigan over a white lace camisole, paired with a camel-colored A-line skirt, her long black hair flowing down, looking gentle and lovely.
She sat on the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the city, her fair legs gently swaying.
After seeing Lu Yu's reply, she smiled and casually put her phone aside.
There's still one message left in the message box above that hasn't been sent and won't be sent again:
You reside quietly in my heart, like the full moon in the night sky.
In countless simulations, Lu Yu had long become her anchor of stability and rationality. Without him, amidst the countless contaminations of the future, she would probably have become...
Yu Xiyan looked up at the eternal moon and saw something more. Her azure eyes held a morbid infatuation and a moth-to-a-flame madness.
Even if he died on his way to the stars, at least we saw his back.
"Speaking of which, my cousin is quite useful as a supporting character; we can add him to our next plan..."
....................................
On the other side, after Lu Yu bought the promised snacks for the mouse, the guy actually stuffed them into the little spider's void treasure chest, using it as his own food store.
It was just a stretch of road, and Lu Yu couldn't be bothered to bother with it.
He was on his way home when, as he passed a shoe repair stall, he suddenly remembered that his combat boots, though not broken during the previous battles and raids, were already worn out.
But it would be a waste to just replace it with a new one, so Lu Yu thought it would be better to just repair it.
Money should be spent wisely!
So he took out his special forces boots and asked:
"Boss, how much does it cost to repair shoes?"
The shoe repairman is a kind-looking middle-aged man named An Hai, who wears a black apron. He has been setting up his stall near the neighborhood for over ten years. Although he is a shoe repairman, he can actually repair everything from small items like clothing zippers to large household appliances. Moreover, he is skilled and his prices are affordable, so many neighbors often come here to get things repaired.
Even if Lu Yu had never been here, he had heard of his reputation.
"They're here!"
An Hai was gently tutoring the little boy who was lying on the small table when he heard the sound and quickly turned around.
Upon seeing Lu Yu, he paused for a moment, then wiped his hands on his apron, carefully took the boots, examined them closely, and said:
"The leather in these special forces boots is quite good; it should be made from the shed skin of a resilient lizard. I've stocked some of these myself. Since you don't have any holes here, and it's just for repairs... I'll charge you three hundred."
"it is good."
Lu Yu knew the price was very reasonable, so he nodded in agreement. The shopkeeper brought him a chair to sit on for a while, and then put on his reading glasses and began to repair the item carefully.
"Xiu Ren, are you home yet?" Bored, the mouse floated out of the pocket. Before Lu Yu could answer, a timid voice came:
"Is...it also a pet?"
Lu Yu turned his head and saw that it was the little boy at the shoe repair stall who spoke; he looked to be about seven or eight years old.
Can he see the rat after rewriting its soul field?
Lu Yu was somewhat surprised, but he didn't think much of it. After all, the human population was so large that it was normal for a few people with strong senses to appear. So he nodded.
Seeing this, the little boy's eyes lit up. After hesitating for a moment, he took out two sour plum candies, glanced at his father who was still diligently mending shoes, and whispered:
"Um... if I offer you some candy, can I get a closer look at it? I promise I won't touch it..."
Looking at the little boy's expectant eyes and the candy in his hand, Lu Yu realized that people are more tolerant of innocent children.
Except for naughty kids.
However, Lu Yu did not agree directly, but instead turned to ask for Shushu's opinion:
"May I?"
Looking at the pure-hearted little boy, the mouse could sense his kindness. It wrapped its little paws around him and said proudly:
"Alright!"
"It can even talk, and it floats on the clouds, how cool is that..."
The little boy looked delighted and then leaned closer, gazing at the mouse floating on the clouds with adoration in his eyes. His exclamations greatly satisfied the mouse's vanity.
Lu Yu popped a candy into his mouth, the sour taste stimulating his taste buds, and asked, "What's your name? Do you like pets?"
"Mmm!" The little boy nodded and said, "My name is An Mo. I absolutely, absolutely love pets. My teacher said I'm a good student, so I have a high chance of becoming a Beast Tamer in the future. I can go on adventures with cute pets, earn money to buy a big villa, and let my dad enjoy life..."
At this point, he scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed to talk about something that hadn't yet been achieved.
Lu Yu listened attentively and then offered encouragement:
"Keep going, you can do it!"
This is not a lie. With the strength of the little boy's soul, once he becomes a Beast Tamer, his speed of absorbing spiritual energy will definitely surpass that of ordinary people. As long as he works hard, he will achieve great things.
"Thank you, big brother, you're such a kind person!"
An Mo smiled and gave his father a "good guy" card. He wanted to say something, but when he saw his father about to stand up, he quickly returned to the small table to continue studying.
Lu Yu looked at the shoes, which now looked almost brand new after being repaired, nodded in satisfaction, scanned the code to pay, and left.
An Hai looked at his son, who was studying with his head down, and a smile appeared on his lips. He had naturally heard everything that had just happened and had seen the little mouse floating on the cloud, but he was just pretending not to know.
An Mo is sensible, obedient, and academically excellent, which is his pride. Therefore, he wants to work hard to save up some money to support him.
But An Hai wouldn't say these words, nor could he bring himself to say them. He would only silently support the child and let him pursue his dreams.
Instead of living a mediocre life like myself.
Just as he was about to continue tutoring, he suddenly heard a gentle, magnetic voice behind him:
"Excuse me, can you repair leather shoes here?"
"sure!"
He turned around and saw an elegant man in a tailcoat and a three-lobed eye mask...
Meanwhile, Lu Yu returned home, and the mouse decisively took over the sofa, picked up a cola and potato chips, and went into a "lying down" mode, while the clean-loving little spider started a big cleaning.
Looking at the two pets with completely different personalities, Lu Yu shook his head and prepared to start making the secret food that could completely transform the little spider...
