Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 585: Chapter 583: Delving into Details [2nd Update]

Lu Xiaobu felt his body being moved and instinctively twisted to find his familiar pillow, then continued to sleep.

In the hospital.

Zhang Meng, Li Jin, and the others, looking disheveled, watched Lu Xiaobu sleeping on Liang Lan’s lap...

Then they exchanged a glance...

All with a wry smile!

They were really both angry and amused!

Young Master, oh Young Master, you’re sleeping quite comfortably, do you know you almost scared us all to death?

Look at us now, do any of us even resemble humans anymore?

Fierce Tiger War God got beaten up like a grandchild!

Tian Jilan looked as if she’d just returned from scavenging, all covered in dust and grim!

Xiaobu still holding a stick in her hand, it’s unclear if she’s planning to cut down someone from the Lin Family, or Lu Xiaobu himself!

And Su Luoxue, that girl, is squatting in the corner, grieving so hard that no one can console her!

As for Wu Qianmin, don’t even mention her, she’s lying on a bed nearby, receiving a drip!

The only one still intact is Li Jin.

But, his mental state is clearly not good, running out to smoke almost half a pack of cigarettes in no time!

Cigarette butts all over the floor!!!

Headache! A real headache!

Their team, which is supposed to be the strongest in history, almost crumbled to pieces in that moment!

...

After a long while.

”Ouch!”

Lu Xiaobu rubbed his eyes and sat up, glancing around, then with a puzzled face asked, ”Why do you all look like this? What happened? Did you fight with someone? No way! Zhang Meng got beaten up this badly?! Sister Lan, you joined in too?!”

”Young Master!”

Seeing Lu Xiaobu finally awake, Liang Lan could no longer hold back and directly burst into tears in his arms.

She really cried her eyes out!

She felt like the sky had fallen just a moment ago!

”What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Who bullied our Sister Lan?”

Lu Xiaobu quickly comforted her.

He had never seen Liang Lan crying like a child before!

And this was not the end—Liang Lan’s crying set off a chain reaction like a lit bomb!

”Lu! Xiaobu! You jerk!”

Xiaobu also broke down in tears, rushed over, and started hammering Lu Xiaobu, then hugged him and cried out loud!

”Phew! Cough cough cough!”

Lu Xiaobu coughed repeatedly from the hits.

Su Luoxue, who had been crying all along, now cried even harder.

But this time, she didn’t cry in the corner, she stood up, walked over to Lu Xiaobu’s bed, and then squatted there to continue crying!

Well, that’s a rather unique way of crying!

Lu Xiaobu was helpless but could only comfort one after another!

In the meantime, he was still pondering the weird scene he saw right before the fall from the building.

After all, if it weren’t for that scene, he wouldn’t have fainted, and none of this would have happened!

And at this moment, the system suddenly said, ”Host, you are really amazing, you’ve accidentally opened the Intelligence Temporary Attribute!”

”What? What Intelligence Temporary Attribute?”

Lu Xiaobu was somewhat bewildered.

”Have you forgotten? Just like the temporary attribute in the store! Before, there was only Charm, but now, you’ve jumped off a building and unleashed Intelligence!”

The system said helplessly.

Honestly, even it was somewhat at a loss. What kind of host was this!

This is even possible!

”I know that, but what’s the use of this attribute? Surely, my intelligence doesn’t shoot through the roof as soon as I activate it!”

Lu Xiaobu asked doubtfully.

”It’s not that kind of intelligence. How should I put it, this intelligence is a bit like Magic Power in games, though it’s not an exact match! Anyway, that’s the general idea!”

”After activating it, your thought process will become very fast, just like right before you jumped, where a second feels like several seconds for others, but for you, it’s many seconds!”

”And there’s a term for it, ’meticulous’, you know?”

”Right before, in that life-and-death moment, you forcibly broke through to the realm of meticulousness, which is why you were so mentally drained and fainted!”

The system explained a lot about the meaning of the Intelligence Attribute.

”Oh, I get it. Truly it’s said that great terror lies between life and death; as does great wisdom!”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

He really did feel quite pleased with himself inside!

This attribute is awesome!

Think about it, when you guys are having a great time, a second is just a second, but when he activates this attribute, he can enjoy several seconds of bliss!

Just like that time... *cough cough* you know what I mean!

”How much does this attribute cost?”

Lu Xiaobu asked.

”One million for one point per day.”

The system replied.

”Pfft!”

Lu Xiaobu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: ”Damn it! One million for a point? That expensive? So that means if I max out the attribute, it’s a billion a day?!”

The system: ”I’ve said before, the rarer the skill, the higher the price!”

Lu Xiaobu helplessly waved his hand: ”Fine! Fine! A billion is, after all, not totally unacceptable!”

”I’m off then, you better handle this pile of mess!”

The lazy system skedaddled.

...

Lu Xiaobu took quite some time to console them before Liang Lan and the others stopped crying.

”Young Master, you absolutely, absolutely, can’t do this again!”

Liang Lan said amidst sobs: ”You really scared us to death!”

”Alright, alright!”

Lu Xiaobu quickly agreed.

He looked at his clothes which were now completely soaked and gave a wry smile.

Women really are made of water, such an astonishing amount!

But luckily, the crying has stopped now...

”Wah!”

Just when Lu Xiaobu thought he had everything under control, suddenly, another bout of crying began.

He mechanically turned his head back.

And there it was, Wu Qianmin had woken up!

With Wu Qianmin plunging into his embrace, he knew his pants were going to be drenched as well!

Sigh!

...

Alright, eventually everyone calmed down, and it was finally time to talk about serious matters.

”Sister Lan, go and blow this thing up big time!” Lu Xiaobu directed.

”Yes!”

Liang Lan immediately responded.

”Li Jin, notify Zhang Benhu to have our troops surround the Lin Company, and remember, everyone should be in our corporate uniform.”

Lu Xiaobu instructed Li Jin.

”Well, um, Young Master, there’s no need for that! Our company’s staff already have them surrounded!”

Liang Lan said with a wry smile: ”Not just surrounded, who knows how many have been arrested. The police have called countless times already, saying they can’t fit anymore in the station!”

Such is the charm of our Young Master, such is the might of his hundred thousand Iron Cavalry!

The moment they heard Lu Xiaobu was in trouble, the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry immediately surrounded the Lin Family’s branch!

No one in, no one out!

Even those who were more hotheaded started smashing things up!

Yep, those caught were mostly from this group!

”Go, get them bailed out.”

Lu Xiaobu felt incredibly touched.

They were the most lovable workers in the world, bar none!

”Right, I’ll get on it immediately.”

Liang Lan nodded quickly, she hadn’t had the chance to deal with anything before, but now that the Young Master was alright, she could handle these matters.

Lu Xiaobu sat on the hospital bed, his eyes slightly narrowed, contemplating the next moves.

Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, I’ve already jumped from a building, if you still don’t show up, then you might as well be dead!
