Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1662: Chapter 1664: Informing

Lu Xiaobu looked at the seed, his eyes bursting with golden light.

He wanted it!

For this, he could even give up all the power he had gathered during this time!

Besides the Heavenly Dynasty’s power that could be used once he obtained the seed, the most important thing was another reason...

He missed home.

He had been out for a while, and he wanted to go back and take a look.

So, he stepped forward directly, ready to snatch the seed.

He was even prepared to kill this Sao Bao on the spot if necessary!

This seed, he must have it!

”City Lord Lu, I knew it would come to this, which is why I didn’t want to say anything.”

However, Sao Bao didn’t make any moves or try to stop Lu Xiaobu; he just said this.

”Aren’t you afraid?” Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes and stopped his actions.

Since this guy wasn’t afraid, there were obviously some things he didn’t know.

”What City Lord Lu doesn’t know is that once this seed is bound, it cannot be re-bound. So, even if you kill me and plant it in the core, it still links to my home. Otherwise, why would I let you take it to the core with peace of mind?”

Sao Bao shook his head and smiled, ”City Lord Lu, this is worry clouding your judgment; otherwise, how could you not think of such a simple thing?”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu calmed down a bit.

Indeed, he was just a bit confused and hadn’t thought of this.

”I want this. With this, I can give up everything else.” Lu Xiaobu sat back down and lit a cigarette, but his eyes remained on the seed.

”This... I’m powerless!” Sao Bao continuously shook his head, ”City Lord Lu surely understands the terror and power of this object.”

”You must also realize that such an item is definitely not something common on the market. Even if it existed, it would be held by the highest authorities and wouldn’t be leaked.”

Lu Xiaobu smoked silently, not replying.

”This one seed I obtained was purely by chance, and for it, I sacrificed the lives of over three hundred of my subordinates and was gravely injured myself.”

Sao Bao understood Lu Xiaobu’s implication—since he could get it once, he could get it again, so he had to explain clearly.

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly again.

That’s why he didn’t want to reveal the origin and use of this thing at the start.

Once said, it leads to the current situation.

Not only does he have to explain, but also convince Lu Xiaobu, too much trouble!

”City Lord Lu, rest assured, since I chose to collaborate with you on such a big business, I naturally would lay everything on the table!” Sao Bao’s voice was incredibly sincere.

”If City Lord Lu wishes to go to the place I found to search, I can provide a map, but I guarantee there’s absolutely no second one inside!”

”Also, the method of binding this thing is quite special, even cruel—it requires a Golden Core from someone bound to the world, and it has to be an early-stage Golden Core that hasn’t connected with this world.”

”City Lord Lu can imagine, to find a seed is already a one-in-a-billion chance, and you also need to find a Golden Core holder from the same homeland and get them to willingly offer their Golden Core. The combined difficulty isn’t just doubled.”

Lu Xiaobu still didn’t speak.

Regarding the binding method, he wasn’t worried. He had seven Golden Cores; he could just give one up.

He was willing to part with it!

Seeing Lu Xiaobu still didn’t speak, Sao Bao knew he was still not satisfied.

He gritted his teeth, and finally said, ”Alright, I’m willing to provide a piece of information. It’s said there’s a seed, but the truth is uncertain and it’s extremely dangerous. If City Lord Lu is willing, I’ll use this information as compensation!”

”Where?” Lu Xiaobu finally opened his mouth.

”In the Qin Feng Secret Realm, which is exactly where the selection for those three entering the core takes place!” Sao Bao said through clenched teeth.

”Are you messing with me?” Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes, ”If there really is one, why hold the selection in this location? Are those people stupid?”

”City Lord Lu can inquire personally, many people know about this. The high-ranking people in this world have sent people in countless times but returned empty-handed each time.”

”So they ultimately chose this Secret Realm as the selection site. The reasoning behind it should be clear to you!”

Sao Bao said helplessly, as he took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and smoked away.

This thing had long been circulating here.

Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes, ”Are you saying they want people to test it out? Is there some kind of special mechanism set up in this location?”

”City Lord Lu is indeed wise; that’s exactly what they suspect, otherwise so many experts have no reason not to find it.” Sao Bao nodded.

”Alright then, I’ll take on your business.” Lu Xiaobu nodded, ”One more thing, how did you discover Wan Jian is a non-human?”

The City Guard Army didn’t notice, yet this guy saw it at a glance; he needed to know about this matter.

”The True Yuan of non-humans contains a certain amount of Devil Energy, so using specialised tools it can be detected.” Sao Bao shook his head and sighed, ”Alright, I’ll do a good deed to the end, let this also be my compensation!”

While speaking, he pulled out two jade pendants and handed one to Wan Jian and the other to Xiao Rou, ”Wear them on your body to conceal the devil energy, but they are useless against those with high power.”

He then looked at Xiao Rou alone, ”Come here, I’ll help you remove the collar.”

Very quickly, the collar around Xiao Rou’s neck was removed.

Finally, Sao Bao took out a token and handed it to Lu Xiaobu, ”The Secret Realm opens in three days. During these three days, whatever City Lord Lu needs, take the token to any of my places, any request will be fulfilled.”

”Alright!” Lu Xiaobu nodded, ”I have a few more questions, how many seeds can a core hold? After planting the seed, do you have to pass through the core to go back and forth?”

”Those in control of small worlds, how do they go back and forth to small worlds; if they can, does it mean that once their power is strong enough, they don’t need this anymore?”

Listening to Lu Xiaobu’s rapid-fire questions, Sao Bao’s head hurt.

Does this City Lord Lu really think he can get the seed this time and also find a suitable sacrificer?

But, forget it, having reached this point, he wasn’t afraid to say more.

”One core, one seed. As for where to come and go, of course you don’t need to go to the core, otherwise everything I’ve done would be pointless. If my people appeared in the core, wouldn’t they be killed cleanly?”

”Those in control of small worlds mostly use specific nodes to forcibly tear through the barriers of both worlds to come and go.”

”And such forceful tearing and descent cause tremendous damage to the small world, often taking a long time to repair.”

”Moreover, bringing people through forceful tearing, most of them would be annihilated in the spatial tunnel. They don’t care, just treating the small world like a mine. I assume City Lord Lu wouldn’t want that!”

Lu Xiaobu nodded, having roughly understood, he then left.
