Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 624: Chapter 622: Take Me With You [3 more for Alliance Hierarch Xing]

Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, Qiu Yuelun immediately let out a derisive snort, lampooning Lu Xiaobu while tilting his head, ”I initially thought you were a real man, but now, hearing this bullshit, clearly, I’ve misjudged you.”

This affluent Young Master, who can’t even truss a chicken, thinks he can exceed me?!

Ridiculous!

If not for seeing that this guy seems perfectly healthy, I’d have suggested he sees a doctor!

How can someone spout such nonsense?

Think about it!

I’m a soldier who trains every day, and he’s a rich heir with no strength to truss a chicken!

Plus, what’s the difficulty level of this exercise? Haven’t you guys forgotten?

This is the game rules set by me!

Naturally, I am the most familiar with it!

The reason why I chose to compete with this rich Young Master is because I can guarantee my own score while taking care of him on the side!

Yet now, this Young Master says he’s going to surpass me?!

Do you find it hilarious or not?

Not only Qiu Yuelun, but his soldiers were also scoffing endlessly.

”Listen to his tall tale, surpassing the Company Commander?! Did his brain get kicked by a donkey?”

”No kidding! Remember? This guy couldn’t even complete the normal difficulty just now! And now he says he wants to surpass the Company Commander on this hellish difficulty?!”

”I’m dying of laughter! Are all second-generation rich kids braindead?”

”Possibly! In those online novels, all the rich second generations are portrayed as brainless weaklings, who can’t do anything but give the protagonist equipment, wealth, and women. I thought it was pure nonsense! Turns out novels really do stem from reality!”

”This is getting boring! Was hoping to see this kid grit his teeth and persevere, but now, looking at it, it’s just meaningless, truly meaningless!”

”...”

Not just them, even Company Commander Wang had a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Even he wouldn’t dare to make such audacious claims!

Let alone him, probably even throughout this military district, except for those in actual special forces, no one would dare to utter such words!

But now, you, Lu Xiaobu, you actually say this, it’s really... sigh!

”What if I really win?”

Lu Xiaobu asked while looking toward Qiu Yuelun.

”Stop spouting nonsense! Are we doing this or not? If not, get lost!”

Qiu Yuelun’s temper flared up instantly.

”I’m asking you! If I really win, what then?”

Lu Xiaobu’s eyes fixed on Qiu Yuelun!

At that moment, Lu Xiaobu’s commanding aura was fully unleashed, a tremendous dominance emanating from his gaze, directly shaking Qiu Yuelun to his core.

In that moment, Qiu Yuelun felt genuinely overpowered!

He even imagined a giant fist smashing towards him!

However, right after, he fiercely shook his head, breaking free from that sensation, his eyes turning fiercer.

Lu Xiaobu had a powerful presence, but he was unafraid!

He looked at Lu Xiaobu and said, ”I thought you were just another ignorant rich Young Master, but it seems I really did misjudge you!”

He’s not dumb; someone as ignorant as that couldn’t possibly exude such an aura!

Maybe he doesn’t have physical prowess, but he’s definitely not ignorant!

”Answer, my question!”

Lu Xiaobu insisted.

”Whatever you want, we’ll do it your way!”

Qiu Yuelun responded to Lu Xiaobu.

He might have misjudged, but in this aspect, he was absolutely confident he wouldn’t lose.

”Very well.” Lu Xiaobu’s lips curved into a grin, briefly glancing down at Qiu Yuelun’s belt before pointing at it, ”If I win, take me there!”

”What!? What exactly do you know?!”

Qiu Yuelun’s gaze instantly became a hundred times more vicious, even bursting with killing intent!

Why does this outsider know about this?!

”Beat me, and I will tell you.”

Lu Xiaobu turned his head nonchalantly, looking towards the training ground and said.

”Fine! If I find out you’re privy to things you shouldn’t know, I’ll send you to the military tribunal myself!”

The murderous look in Qiu Yuelun’s eyes grew even stronger as he also turned his head towards the training ground.

In the time they were conversing, the training ground had already changed dramatically!

Various props had been set up on both sides, including Water Dragon Guns, armed soldiers, and those starting fires.

In short, what was previously a normal training ground had in an instant turned into Hell!

It used to be that failing to complete the course meant just that, but with these additional setups, if you accidentally touched something you shouldn’t, you’d skin yourself, and it would seem like a joke!

Seeing that both sides were ready.

Company Commander Wang took a deep look at Lu Xiaobu, sighed, and said, ”Ready...”

Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes slightly as he looked ahead at the training ground.

This is an obstacle race, not a speed race.

No matter how fast you are, your speed will be firmly limited to a certain extent, actually it is more about reaction speed.

It’s about whether you can dodge obstacles at the best timing, and if you can maintain your speed in such circumstances!

So, if Lu Xiaobu’s maximum base Attribute could be made equivalent to Qiu Yuelun’s Speed.

As for reaction speed, well!

Intelligence Attribute maxed out, activating full Intelligence mode, cost: a hundred million!

In a moment, Lu Xiaobu entered microcosm mode.

It seemed as if the speed of time for everything in his vision had slowed down.

He could even clearly see the speed of a soldier’s sweat slowly trickling down his forehead not far away!

Even the lip movement of Company Commander Wang, who was about to shout ”start”, was clearly visible in his eyes.

”Start...”

After Company Commander Wang finished calling out the start in a very slow manner, Lu Xiaobu instantly dashed out!

At the same time, Qiu Yuelun also dashed out instantly!

Both men stepped on the first obstacle almost at the same time!

At this moment, Qiu Yuelun couldn’t help but take a second look at Lu Xiaobu, this reaction speed, not bad at all!

The first event is the balance beam.

This event seems simple, but it’s not.

An average person, even without adding any difficulty, would probably have to try many times to succeed.

And this was by no means a normal difficulty level!

But the kind where people on both sides are using Water Dragon Guns to spray water at you!

High-pressure water gun, if hit directly, falling off the beam is only too normal, and it can even bruise you!

And even if it’s not a direct hit, once the water covers the beam, it acts as a lubricant, making it very easy to lose your footing!

One could say that Qiu Yuelun really put in a great deal of thought when designing these challenges!

Those under Qiu Yuelun were also buzzing with conversation.

”Fools rush in where angels fear to tread! This rich Young Master truly doesn’t know how twisted the difficulty of this devil’s challenge is!”

”Right, remember when I did it?! Got knocked down by a Water Dragon Gun straight away, hurt for a whole day!”

”Absolutely, those spraying water are the worst, there’s no pattern, just treating you like a target! A newbie can’t avoid it, let alone this rich Young Master!”

”...”

Everyone thought Lu Xiaobu would fail at the very first light.

However, to their confusion, something unexpected occurred!
