Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1347: Chapter 1349: Preventing Trouble Before It Happens

”I’ll arrange someone to go down immediately!” Elder Yu exclaimed excitedly.

There is actually a consensus in the world: the future of humanity lies in one of two places—space or the unexplored depths of the underground.

But who would have thought a third path has been discovered now?!

Are these the inheritance left by our ancestors?

If this is all true, then are those myths passed down through generations really just myths?

Perhaps, they might be true!

Previously, he had suspected the seismograph might be an earth attribute energy detector. Now, with this discussion, it seems very likely to be true!

Oh, my God!

Not long after, Elder Yu swiftly made the arrangements and returned to the office. He felt that talking with Lu Xiaobu really sparked many unexpected ideas.

”Xiaobu, do you have any more thoughts? Feel free to share.” Elder Yu said seriously as he looked at Lu Xiaobu.

”Alright, let’s make a hypothesis.” Lu Xiaobu pondered for a moment and said, ”If all our speculations are correct, then we should make some preparations in advance.”

”For example...” Elder Yu nodded.

Preventive measures are certainly needed.

”We must find ways to inherit the craftsmanship of our ancestors, because these seemingly backward skills might be missing some key elements. Otherwise, from a technological standpoint, what we’re seeing shouldn’t exist!” Lu Xiaobu thought aloud.

”You’re right. Don’t you have a school? I’ll report this immediately. Even if our conjecture is wrong, inheriting the skills is still worthwhile!” Elder Yu thought for a moment and made a decision.

”Secondly, establish a martial arts hall, inviting various sects to open halls and share their cultivation techniques, at least the basic martial arts methods, in preparation for the future!” Lu Xiaobu said again.

”Well...” Elder Yu smiled wryly, ”Support isn’t an issue, but getting them to share cultivation techniques? That’s very difficult! This isn’t something that can happen overnight. Do you think the military hasn’t thought of this before?”

”But those guys are so stubborn, never willing to share, only offering things like hard Qigong.”

”I’ll handle this.” Lu Xiaobu pondered for a moment and said.

”You will?” Elder Yu was surprised, ”Are you confident you can convince them?”

”Don’t forget, I’m an Honorary Master.” Lu Xiaobu smiled, then squinted his eyes and said, ”Besides, many things don’t necessarily need verbal persuasion.”

”Alright, then I’ll grant you the authority and provide you with maximum support on this matter!” Elder Yu gritted his teeth and made up his mind, ”Anything else?”

”Lastly... secrecy! Absolute secrecy, one hundred percent secrecy!”

Lu Xiaobu said with utter seriousness, ”No one is foolish. If discovered, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, so some surface measures must be meticulously done without any flaws.”

”I’ll handle that.” Elder Yu acknowledged firmly.

Just like last time when the research institute was disrupted, it was all because a single-minded mathematician mentioned a couple of things he considered unimportant, which was immediately spotted by Lu Xiaobu, leading to us wiping it out through a thorough investigation.

Furthermore, regarding this matter, everyone has to quietly swallow the bitterness without daring to make a big announcement.

Look, has America said anything about this until now?

Of course, they’ve tried to give Lu Xiaobu a hard time, even attempting to kill him, but that’s a different story.

Who asked Lu Xiaobu to idle around and head to America!

”As for other matters, I don’t have any major ideas. This is about all I’ve come up with for now.” Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment and said, ”Oh, right, grant me access regarding the box, Beast Head Bronze Statue, and such things.”

”Sure, as long as you don’t plan to smash them, you’re free to do so.” Elder Yu agreed readily, then paused and said, ”But if you really intend to smash them, let us know.”

Listening to these words shows how deep their trust in Lu Xiaobu has become.

Even if Lu Xiaobu wanted to destroy these national treasures, it would just be a matter of notifying and discussing, not an outright refusal!

”Rest assured, we’re not at that point yet.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said, ”Alright, you take care of your things, and I’ll head out. I’ll go check on Xiaozhi and Xiaoya.”

”Alright, go ahead.” Elder Yu nodded.

As Lu Xiaobu walked out the door, Mr. Wang, who had been listening the whole time, finally spoke, feeling proud. ”Elder Yu! Look at this, look at this, my plan is great, isn’t it? Making Lu Xiaobu willingly join in, and everything that follows is going smoothly, isn’t it?”

”Great, thank you!” Elder Yu was in high spirits, ”Well then, I still have two bottles of aged wine, let’s have a drink later!”

”Really?!” Mr. Wang’s mouth practically watered.

He’s been craving Elder Yu’s wine for ages. Last time, during his daughter’s wedding to the Lu Family’s second son, he wanted Elder Yu to bring out some wine but was unsuccessful. But now, it’s falling into his lap so easily!

Today, he’s in for a treat!

...

Lu Xiaobu left the office and reached the plaza, immediately spotting Xiaoya running around chasing people with a wrench.

It seemed like her favorite snacks had been snatched away. She was fuming.

”Instructor Lu said you can’t kill!” The person being chased shouted while they ran.

”But the instructor also said, you can’t kill, hitting a couple of times is fine!” Xiaoya retorted angrily.

Don’t forget, she’s a ”Vajra Barbie.” Ignoring her face, her physique combined with that massive wrench is enough to scare anyone to death!

”But you’re hitting too hard!” The person being chased kept crying out, ”The last one you hit is still bedridden! Besides, I’ve already eaten it when you came, you’re blaming me?!”

”But I don’t care! It’s all because of you!” Xiaoya shouted angrily.

”Alright, Xiaoya.” Lu Xiaobu said softly.

Immediately, the human-shaped berserker-like Xiaoya froze as if her mechanical battery had run out.

She was all too familiar with this voice.

It was the devil’s voice!

And when she turned around slowly and saw the man leaning against the side, a look of fear flashed across her face.

She hurriedly put away the wrench, stood still, and lowered her head without daring to speak.

”Come here.” Lu Xiaobu beckoned with his hand.

”Okay.” Xiaoya nervously gripped the wrench, reluctantly inching her way toward Lu Xiaobu.

Why did he come?

While Xiaoya dragged herself unwillingly toward him, Xiaozhi spotted Lu Xiaobu.

Unlike Xiaoya, the usually aloof Xiaozhi broke into a wide grin upon seeing Lu Xiaobu and ran over happily.

Those present looked at Lu Xiaobu and were full of admiration—only Instructor Lu seemed capable of handling these two problem children!
