Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1368: Chapter 1370: What Exactly Do You Want

Elder Yu truly feels a bit overwhelmed.

Oh my god, he originally thought it was just a camper!

But it turns out to be a combination of a rocket launcher and a military helicopter?!

Although they are both small-scale, with certain limitations in power and range.

Still, no matter how small, it’s a game-changer in the normal world!

For instance, during a traffic jam, if Lu Xiaobu loses his patience, he can directly lift the military helicopter and flash the rocket launcher!

And then, probably there won’t be anything left!

”What do you plan to do?” Elder Yu glared at Lu Xiaobu.

”Nothing.” Lu Xiaobu showed an innocent smile: ”Am I the troublemaker here?”

”You are!” Elder Yu said resolutely.

”Seriously, nothing!” Lu Xiaobu said helplessly.

”I don’t believe you!” Elder Yu shook his head.

”Well, I don’t care, I’m driving out.” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: ”That’s what we agreed on beforehand.”

”Agreed, but we didn’t agree on turning it into this! Your firepower could take out a whole battalion!” Elder Yu said helplessly.

”I generally don’t fire!” Lu Xiaobu said earnestly.

”Even in special cases, you can’t fire!” Elder Yu chimed in: ”How about this, we’ll remove the missiles and leave you with just bullets, okay?”

”No way, at least let me have a moment to show off, I promise it’ll only be once, okay?” Lu Xiaobu protested with reluctance!

”See, you still want to fire!” Elder Yu’s lips twitched: ”Caught red-handed!”

”I wouldn’t fire at ordinary people.” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes again.

”It can’t be at anyone, ordinary or not!” Elder Yu continued to persuade patiently.

”I want to issue the Master Token and fire at those people, okay? Aren’t we trying to enforce martial law across the world?” Lu Xiaobu suddenly recalled!

”Alright, go ahead then!” Elder Yu’s attitude changed instantly.

That’s how things are, the utility changes in different scenarios.

If Lu Xiaobu were using that guy on the streets, it obviously wouldn’t be okay!

But if he’s intimidating those rebels who challenge authority, then it actually represents the hidden voice of the authorities.

In this case, there’s no reason to stop him!

”Alright! That settles it!” Lu Xiaobu suddenly became very excited: ”I’m going to issue the Master Token now!”

...

Elder Yu sent someone to escort Lu Xiaobu.

Later, the arriving Mr. Wang watched Lu Xiaobu’s back and marveled: ”This little spendthrift is definitely unprecedented, a private military helicopter with a rocket launcher!”

”Indeed!” Elder Yu also sighed a bit.

”How did you agree to let him take it out? This doesn’t seem like you!” Mr. Wang asked curiously.

From his perspective, Elder Yu, although not strictly by the book, was not someone who bends rules casually!

”Lu Xiaobu’s attitude is key.” Elder Yu shrugged and said.

”Attitude? What attitude?” Mr. Wang was puzzled.

”Let me ask you, if Lu Xiaobu wanted to go to another country to get a few military helicopters, would it be difficult?” Elder Yu asked aloud.

”For him, wouldn’t that just be a matter of moments?” Mr. Wang laughed.

”Exactly, clearly this can be resolved in no time and if he went abroad to do it, he wouldn’t expose his secrets and could even fire at will. So why must he do the deal domestically, exposing his own secrets to us?” Elder Yu countered.

”Uh... well!” Mr. Wang was stumped.

Yes, using normal reasoning, it seems much better to acquire military helicopters abroad.

Moreover, not to diminish our own capabilities, but Lu Xiaobu might even get better ones overseas.

Of course, after Lu Xiaobu’s modifications.

”Furthermore, when I suggested removing Lu Xiaobu’s missiles earlier, he didn’t show strong resistance, but rather was willing to discuss it, even sort of requesting it, what could this mean?” Elder Yu asked again.

”Hey! Indeed! I didn’t even notice that! Since when did Lu Xiaobu become so agreeable?” Mr. Wang was taken aback.

Then, he scratched his head and added: ”Elder Yu, stop beating around the bush and just say it plainly.”

”Simply, Lu Xiaobu is trying to show an attitude, he wants some privileges but assures us he won’t misuse them, making us and the country feel reassured!”

Elder Yu spoke with great admiration: ”I believe, if earlier I insisted on not letting him take missiles, he wouldn’t have forcibly taken them!”

”Wow, you really admire him!” Mr. Wang clicked his tongue.

”Trust is mutual, only like this can things move in a better direction!”

Elder Yu, as if explaining to Mr. Wang, or perhaps talking to himself: ”Is the emergence of Five Elements truly a good thing?”

”Just like the debate on whether to contact aliens.”

”Perhaps it can bring benefits, but perhaps it might also invite disaster! No one knows for sure!”

”In such circumstances, only by increasing one’s own Strength, can the right path be followed!”

”But aren’t these Five Elements left by the ancients? Moreover, turned into Beast Head Bronze Statue, doesn’t this prove that Five Elements can be controlled after all! Shouldn’t be anything dangerous!” Mr. Wang asked puzzledly.

”That’s right, so far it seems that way, which is why our country supports the development of the Five Elements!”

Elder Yu nodded: ”But then again, why did it become like this if it can really be controlled?”

”Did something happen? Did the ancients actively seal these powers, or was it passive?”

”Also, logically, according to records, the Beast Head Bronze Statue should have been cast during the Qianlong Period, but have you seen the latest test report?”

”What is it?” Mr. Wang was stunned.

”The era has changed, it’s become modern.” Elder Yu laughed, with a hint of bitterness: ”If nothing unexpected, every time we bring that box close to the Beast Head Bronze Statue, it leads to all the statues being refreshed.”

”What?!” Mr. Wang was shocked: ”You’re saying this Beast Head Bronze Statue might not have been cast during the Qianlong Period? But instead, during that period, someone brought this box close to it?”

”If nothing unexpected, yes.” Elder Yu nodded: ”Also, how many years has that ancient tree in Medicine King Valley existed?”

”I remember since Medicine King Valley has existed, that ancient tree has been there! Or perhaps, the ancient tree existed even longer than Medicine King Valley!”

”I see what you mean!” Mr. Wang gave a bitter smile: ”Things are far more complex than we initially thought!”

”Yes.” Elder Yu nodded.

He still had one thought left unsaid.

Was Lu Xiaobu’s discovery of all this really a coincidence? Does he have any connection to everything here?
