Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 407: Chapter 405: Lin Feng’s Once-in-a-Century State [First Update]

Lu Xiaobu followed the address Lin Feng had sent him.

This address was neither Shimen nor Imperial, but Magic City, a place both of them were unfamiliar with.

This puzzled Xiaobu.

Was Lin Feng out of his mind, running off to Magic City to clear a game level?

Everybody knows that the people from Imperial and Magic City are quite competitive with each other on certain matters.

This isn’t looking for trouble, this is a fact!

And now, Lin Feng, one of the four young masters of Imperial, actually went to Magic City. What is he up to?

So, Xiaobu went there with an attitude of watching a good show.

Yeah, it’d be best if a fight broke out, he would cheer on ’Han 666’!

On the plane.

Xiaobu chatted with the system.

Well, okay, to be honest, he was after some benefits.

”What about my stuff?” Xiaobu asked: ”The ’Good Voice’ operation should be up and running now, right?”

”All set.” The system didn’t dilly-dally: ”Picked out especially for you, an energy-charging protective shield.”

”What’s that?” Xiaobu was puzzled.

”It’s something similar to the Dragon Capturing Hand. The more energy you charge into the Dragon Capturing Hand, the more powerful it gets, while this protective shield becomes stronger the more energy it’s charged with!”

The system explained.

”Bullshit, are you trying to fool me?”

Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said: ”In a real emergency, by the time I finish charging, I’ll have died hundreds of times over.”

He knew all too well about the charging speed of the Dragon Capturing Hand.

”It’s different, how could I possibly scam you?”

The system quickly explained: ”This energy-charging protective shield is cumulative. That is to say, you can charge it with several hundred million now and save it for later use.”

”That does sound feasible.”

Xiaobu stroked his chin.

Thinking that way, it actually seemed pretty good. Charging a bit when he had nothing urgent to do, so when the time comes, he wouldn’t need to charge again.

Then he continued asking: ”What about the protective abilities? Is it equivalent to the Dragon Capturing Hand? Can a ten-million protection shield withstand a ten-million Dragon Capturing Hand?”

”This... I’m afraid not.”

The system explained: ”You see, the Dragon Capturing Hand is an attack after all, focusing on a single point, at most, a plane. But the protective shield? It offers all-around protection. The strength from a single point is dispersed over the whole body, so how much strength can there be. You will probably have to think in terms of a hundredfold!”

”That makes sense.”

Xiaobu nodded his head in agreement, he wasn’t the type to make unreasonable troubles, so he understood.

The system meant to say that a one-million Dragon Capturing Hand might likely require a hundred-million protective shield to withstand it.

Although it sounded terrifying.

Xiaobu also knew the advantage of the protective shield was that it could be accumulated.

This could make up for all its weaknesses.

”Fine, just give it to me,” Xiaobu said to the system.

”Alrighty.” The system transferred the energy-charging protective shield to Xiaobu.

Xiaobu thought about it, and the protective shield interface appeared.

Similar to the Dragon Capturing Hand.

Looking at the input amount column, Xiaobu glanced at the amount he squandered, thought for a moment, and input fifty billion into it.

Last time he squandered sixty billion at the Iron Cavalry’s street stall sale, and after that, he didn’t spend much.

So, fifty billion was still manageable for him.

And, he didn’t feel the pinch.

After all, you must have standing power to output!

Watching the slowly progressing charging bar, Xiaobu stopped paying attention to it.

He was just looking forward to seeing Lin Feng and the people from Magic City clash.

However.

When he arrived at the scene and saw Lin Feng, the corner of his mouth twitched.

”What on earth are you doing, what’s with the grand spectacle?”

Do you know what Lin Feng looked like now?

He was wearing clothes worth hundreds of thousands per piece, with a handmade Cuban cigar in hand.

But he was squatting at the entrance of a Starbucks, puffing away, with irritation written all over his face.

Looks like he couldn’t shake off the bad habits he learned from Xiaobu!

And the Starbucks employees behind him were all baffled.

”You’re here, lend me a few million first.”

Lin Feng lit up with joy upon seeing Lu Xiaobu, surprised and delighted.

”Here. The PIN is six sixes!” Lu Xiaobu casually took out a card, then continued to ask, ”What did you do to be short of money?”

”Just had a coffee.”

Lin Feng’s face turned red, feeling embarrassed!

”Pfft!”

Lu Xiaobu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Can you believe it? One of the prestigious ’Four Young Masters’ of Imperial is broke because of a Starbucks coffee!

”Get out of here!”

Lin Feng, face flushed, turned to go inside and pay.

The Starbucks owner hurriedly waved his hand: ”I said it’s not necessary, really, no need.”

He wasn’t blind; he could obviously tell that any single item on this dignitary was worth more than his entire café.

Why would he really make things difficult for him over a cup of coffee?

It’s just that this person kept insisting on giving him money, which is why they ended up in this situation.

”Take it. If I was stealing your money, then I’d owe you big time.”

Lin Feng placed the card directly on the owner’s table, letting him charge it.

”Alright then.”

The owner, helpless, could only swipe the card.

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction: ”It’s inconvenient today, I’ll make it up to you another day.”

He wouldn’t really owe the owner money.

Otherwise, for Lin Feng to actually owe money, when it came time to pay back, it wouldn’t be with money but with favors.

However, even so, the owner did not show any impatience towards him and even lent him a phone to make a call, which was already a favor in itself.

He quietly took note, planning to repay him in the future.

That’s the difference; Lin Feng wasn’t willing to owe money for a cup of coffee, but with Lu Xiaobu, he could easily ask for several million.

This reflects the status Lu Xiaobu holds in his heart.

The card transaction was completed.

Lin Feng walked out of Starbucks.

”What exactly happened to you? Why are you in such a mess?”

Lu Xiaobu couldn’t help but laugh again.

”Let’s talk in your car.”

Lin Feng rolled his eyes and headed straight for Lu Xiaobu’s car.

It was an RV arranged by Liang Lan, fully equipped with all the necessities.

Once in the car.

Lin Feng took a cigar and red wine from Liang Lan, took a puff, and the shadow on his face seemed to lighten considerably.

”Now you can talk, right?”

Lu Xiaobu said with a smile.

”Hey, it’s just some annoying family stuff. You know why I haven’t contacted you for so long? I went abroad. I thought it was just for a trip, but it turned out to be for an arranged marriage. Damn, I still wanted to enjoy life for a couple more years, so I just ran back here.” Lin Feng sipped the wine: ”Lafite, good vintage.”

Lu Xiaobu obviously held a high place in Lin Feng’s heart.

You could imagine what kind of person he was.

Such an act of sneaking away is indeed something he would do.

Of course, Lu Xiaobu had an undeniable influence on this.

Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn’t be squatting outside Starbucks, carelessly smoking a cigar.

”Sneaking back?”

Lu Xiaobu seemed to understand.

”Yeah, I snuck back.” Lin Feng said with a carefree smile: ”I spent all the cash I had on me, couldn’t use my cards, nor contact anyone I know, or my father would find out where I am. Had no choice but to call you. After all, they won’t trace it to you.”

”Alright, fine.” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: ”Where do you want to go? Shimen, or Imperial?”

”Don’t go, just hang out in Magic City for a couple of days first,” Lin Feng waved his hand and said.

”Ok, I’ll hang out with you for a couple of days.”

Lu Xiaobu had nothing else to do, so he agreed.

As for the matter of money, neither of them mentioned it.

That sort of thing would lose its meaning if brought up between them.

”Oh right, there’s one more thing.” Suddenly, Lin Feng sat up straight, appearing very serious!
