Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 663: Chapter 661: Laying it out [4 Releases]

After the twenty-eighth phone call, Lin Feng finally picked up.

”Lu Xiaobu! What the hell?!”

Lin Feng’s exasperated voice came through.

”Uh, nothing much, just wanted to hear this exasperated tone of yours.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Then!

He hung up the phone!

Satisfied!

”Pfft!”

Lin Feng, hearing the dial tone, nearly spewed blood for three kilometers!

Damn, Lu Xiaobu is becoming more and more shameless!

Damn it, after twenty-eight calls, he made me forcefully abandon the ongoing family meeting and sneak out to answer the phone!

And this is what I get? Damn it!

”Huh!” Lin Feng took a deep breath.

However, Lu Xiaobu’s call wasn’t entirely without benefits, it gave him a chance to arrange some matters!

”Housekeeper Jia, come here, you go...” Lin Feng gestured to Housekeeper Jia at the door and spoke softly.

The topic of the meeting wasn’t other than Lu Xiaobu’s matter!

Initially, he wanted Lu Xiaobu to take his time digesting the acquisition of that plot of land, giving him plenty of time.

However, Lu Xiaobu resolved the issue too quickly!

He settled it like a bolt of lightning.

While he resolved it, he essentially tossed the problem over to him, causing his uncle Lin Tianshen to be quite dissatisfied!

But, if you have intelligent tricks, I have a ladder over the wall!

Take it slow!

A sharp light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes!

...

After Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone, he felt extremely refreshed.

Lin Feng finding pleasure in bothering him, and him bothering Lin Feng in return, was also one of his greatest pleasures!

In this life, one does need such an enemy. Otherwise, there’s no joy left in living!

At this moment, Principal Li’s call came in.

”Hello, Principal Li, thanks a lot for your help this time!”

Lu Xiaobu, when he should express gratitude, was not stingy.

”Hey, to actually hear the words ’thank you’ from your mouth, truly a rarity!”

Principal Li was clearly in a good mood upon receiving Lu Xiaobu’s thanks.

”You’ve indeed been of help, I can’t just ignore that.”

Lu Xiaobu smiled.

”You know best!” Principal Li wasn’t boasting, just stating the fact: ”I owe a huge favor this time, almost to every university president in the Heavenly Dynasty!”

”Tell me, what should I do? I’ll listen to you.”

Lu Xiaobu wasn’t haughty.

It was true in this case.

Without the support of many university presidents applying on his behalf, even with the global competition, the matter wouldn’t have been easy to handle.

”It’s simple, I’ve already spoken with them. You just have to give a lecture, any topic is okay, but it must be positive!” Principal Li was very stern with his last sentence.

Lu Xiaobu had a talent for spoiling events, and this was something he was well aware of!

”Err... not that I won’t agree, but why must you insist on me giving a lecture?” Lu Xiaobu grimaced: ”I dislike such events the most!”

”It’s simple. Your age, your achievements, your dreams, your behavior, all can mislead the youth!” Principal Li spoke earnestly.

”By age, you should be in college! By achievement, you’re already a billionaire! As for dreams, you’ve said more than once that your dream is to slack off and wait for death! In terms of behavior, you curse daily, yet continuously reap benefits!”

Principal Li listed one by one: ”Think about it, what kind of influence are you giving the youth? Just by cursing, one can reach your position?!”

”You need to understand, not everyone can delve into your deeper thoughts!”

Principal Li spoke earnestly: ”We’re not saints, but we are educators after all and we must present a positive image to the students!”

”Alright then!” Lu Xiaobu sighed and agreed.

He couldn’t spoil the event this time!

”Let’s do this, leveraging the momentum of this global competition, how about five days from now?”

Lu Xiaobu didn’t like to drag things out.

”Fine! I’ll make the arrangements!”

Principal Li knew how hard it was to get Lu Xiaobu to agree to give a proper speech, so he didn’t waste any words.

”Let’s leave it at that, I’m hanging up now.”

Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone, lost in thought, wondering what to say.

Positive energy, there’s plenty to say, but hitting the nail on the head was the tricky part!

...

The first day, Lu Xiaobu lay in bed, staring at the ceiling all day!

...

The second day, Lu Xiaobu sat on the sofa, watching Bright Sword all day!

...

The third day, Lu Xiaobu flew to Tiananmen to watch the flag-raising in the morning!

...

The fourth day, Lu Xiaobu played games all day!

...

The fifth day, the very day, Lu Xiaobu figured it out!

What’s most positively energizing is patriotism!

Everything else is nonsense!

If one is patriotic, then no matter how bad he is, he has a bottom line!

And if someone lacks a sense of belonging, lacks national pride, that’s all nonsense!

So, he decided, the theme this time would be—patriotism!

The simplest, yet most profound positive energy!

Once the theme was set, it was time to find an article!

”System, go, help me find one! Price doesn’t matter! But it must stir the soul and yet not be too sharp in words!” Lu Xiaobu told the system.

”Wait, wait, are you treating me like a servant?!”

The system grumbled.

”Who’s treating you like a servant?!”

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said!

”Ugh! Isn’t this treating me like a servant?! Demanding it stirs the soul and yet the words not be sharp! Where am I supposed to find that? You’re just making things difficult for me!”

The system complained bitterly.

Originally, it thought that after giving him a Temporary Attribute, Lu Xiaobu would quiet down, but instead, it was an endless escalation!

”Name your conditions!”

Lu Xiaobu was impatient.

”The recent novels are getting more and more lackluster, I don’t care what it takes, you help me resolve this!”

The system immediately said.

This was a tit-for-tat!

You make things difficult for me, and I’ll make things difficult for you!

”No problem! That’s exactly what I should be doing! I can handle it! Now, your job...”

Lu Xiaobu spoke.

”I’m on it! As long as you’ve agreed! I agree!”

The system quickly replied.

Is there any other system in the world that bargains like this?!

”Fine, I agree!”

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.

Everyone else’s system is at their beck and call!

His, however, requires conditions!

Unbelievable!

”Alrighty, I’ll definitely find you a unique and unparalleled article. As for the fee this time, forget it, I’ll cover it, it’s not like it’s a lot of money!”

The system said cheerfully.

”Roll, roll, roll!”

Lu Xiaobu scoffed.

But as harsh as his words were, he actually trusted the system quite a bit—it had always been reliable!
