Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 269: Chapter 268 What the Heck Is This Thing [Extra Chapter for ScHatZ’s Generous Rewards, 5th Update]

Ye Zhuo went to deal with the clarification matters, while Li Xide was discussing with Liang Lan the matter of Shadow’s entry into the Xiangjiang Market under the protection of Li Jin.

They didn’t come just for fun this time; there truly were matters to be taken care of.

However, before leaving, Liang Lan whispered and instructed Su Luoxue at length for quite a while.

After finishing, the whole person of Su Luoxue was dumbfounded.

Holy crap!

Sorry, as a lady, I shouldn’t swear, but she really wanted to.

She knew for the first time where the gap between her and Liang Lan lay.

Liang Lan had Lu Xiaobu’s various life habits down to a tee.

She finally understood why Lu Xiaobu liked to bring Liang Lan so much.

Because everything was taken care of, it was comfortable!

...

Following Chen Kun, Lu Xiaobu arrived at Victoria Port, a gathering place for Xiangjiang celebrities and tycoons.

They came to a relatively secluded private club with high confidentiality.

Even Chen Kun had to show his membership card to be allowed entry.

And Lu Xiaobu was allowed in only because he was vouched for by five members.

It seems these celebrities and tycoons go to great lengths for their privacy.

After all, the private lives of stars are what fans love to gossip about most.

Oh right, it’s worth mentioning that they brought the dumbass as well, and now Su Luoxue is looking after him.

”Xiaobu, this place is absolutely safe, you don’t have to worry about exposure, you can play as much as you like.”

Chen Kun revealed a look that all men understand.

We are all men; there’s no need to be too secretive.

”Brother Chen, do you think I need to?”

Lu Xiaobu spread his hands.

”Eh... maybe not.”

Chen Kun glanced back at the three women following Lu Xiaobu and got the picture.

Lu Xiaobu doesn’t need it; looking at this lineup, Chen Kun was even a bit envious!

The two chatted and walked inside with a server leading the way.

Interestingly, Lu Xiaobu didn’t see another soul on the way.

”Xiaobu, you might not know, but the route each person takes in this club is different every time, completely avoiding any potential encounters with others.”

Chen Kun noticed Lu Xiaobu’s confusion and pointed at the server’s earpiece with a smile.

”Not bad.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

No wonder!

They really go to great lengths!

They went through the corridor and arrived at a pre-booked private room.

Before they even entered, they heard loud cries of praise.

”Good!”

”Fantastic!”

”Beautiful!”

”Art! It’s art!”

”...”

Hearing these cries, Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched a bit.

The cheering sounded just like the praise he received outside for his shoddy calligraphy.

”Brother Chen, what is this?”

Lu Xiaobu asked.

”Oh, this is an artist who was supposed to perform when you arrived, but it seems they couldn’t wait and started already.”

Chen Kun smiled and explained, ”Brother Lu, remember, show respect to the artist later!”

”Of course.”

Lu Xiaobu readily agreed.

He always had immense respect for knowledge.

Since it’s an artist, respect is only right.

Chen Kun nodded in satisfaction and pushed open the private room door, peeked inside, then turned to whisper a reminder, ”The master’s performance probably hasn’t ended yet; I’ll introduce you to everyone later.”

”Sure, no problem.” Lu Xiaobu nodded and followed Chen Kun inside.

Then!

He saw an idiot...

Err, I mean, an ’artist’!

This artist had flowing long hair and an incredibly dense beard.

Simply put, except for the face, he was practically a lion because of the mane of hair surrounding him!

Lu Xiaobu could let that pass. After all, artists think differently, and he could understand.

But what Lu Xiaobu found ridiculous was the so-called art.

A line of beauties were carrying a huge canvas.

This lion, oh, the artist, was holding a balloon filled with ink, pressing the nozzle with his hand to let out just a small opening to spray the ink.

Of course, that was normal too.

After all, there were those who painted with strange things. Lu Xiaobu had seen someone who painted landscapes with his hands, which were actually quite beautiful.

But!

What this guy was spraying... How should I put it, it was pure crap!

Even worse than the lousy words Lu Xiaobu wrote.

Yet, just like that.

Those onlookers kept on applauding.

Every move this ’lion’ made, they would shout their approval.

”Good!”

”Amazing!”

”Good!”

Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched with annoyance.

Could someone please explain to me, what’s so good about this?

What on earth did you all see?!

However, Lu Xiaobu still managed to suppress his desire to criticize.

After all, it wasn’t unheard of for a story to have a twist at the end.

What if there was a plot twist in the end.

Then...

Amid the sounds of cheers.

It ended.

”How embarrassing.”

The lion slapped a balloon onto the canvas with a smack, then casually threw it, getting ink everywhere in the private booth.

He carried out this utterly idiotic move as if he were doing something incredibly suave.

He even had the gall to turn around and bow with his hands clasped together.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaobu felt even more bothered!

Remember the previous knowledge about the hand clasping ritual?

Right fist in the left palm means a friendly match.

Left palm over right fist signifies a duel to the death.

This guy is doing it the latter way!

What’s the deal?

Are you dueling someone to the death?!

Writers normally greet with a cupped-hands salute!

Not with fists and palms like this!

Damn it!

However.

The celebrities started to give rousing applause, not excluding Chen Kun.

”Good! Just fantastic!”

”Brilliant! So magnificent!”

”Simply the greatest art of mankind!”

”Master, could you sell it to me? I’ll pay a million!”

”You think you can buy the master’s art for a million? I’ll bid two million!”

”...”

Amidst the admiration of the crowd, Ge Wen remained unfazed, like a true master his demeanor showed no ripples!

But there was still a hint of smugness in his eyes.

He looked around.

Immediately, he noticed the only person who wasn’t clapping or cheering and who evidently had something to say: Lu Xiaobu.

”Oh? Do you want to say something?”

Ge Wen’s brows furrowed as he turned to look at Lu Xiaobu.

”I wanted to say, what kind of bullshit is this?!”

The words Lu Xiaobu had been holding back for so long were finally spoken.

He pointed to that so-called ”art” that was utter crap: ”Can you tell me what this painting is supposed to be?”

”Painting? This is not a painting, this is calligraphy! You can’t even recognize this! And you dare to be so bold?!”

Ge Wen exploded in anger, rebuking loudly.

”Calligraphy? That’s even more bullshit! This is supposed to be calligraphy? You’re drawing talismans!”

Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t indulge him: ”You tell me, what characters did you write?!”

”You!” Ge Wen was so berated by Lu Xiaobu he was nearly choking with fury!

He had always been the one who was flattered by others.

When had he ever seen someone like this?!

He was so criticized that he couldn’t even respond!

Because, he himself didn’t know what he had written!

Listening to Lu Xiaobu’s candid words, the celebrities’ expressions changed, and they began to offer consolation.

However, nobody noticed the hint of human-like mockery in the eyes of the dumbass cradled in Su Luoxue’s arms.

It glanced at its owner Lu Xiaobu, then back at the piece of incomprehensible calligraphy, the so-called art piece.

Suddenly, the corner of its mouth curled up into an unmistakably human-like mischievous grin!
