Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1740: Chapter 1742: Biubiu

Lu Xiaobu listened to Sao Bao’s words and couldn’t help but shake his head.

He’d had this feeling many times already, but every single time he still couldn’t stop himself from sighing—this vast Cultivation World, masters as common as clouds, people who can move mountains and overturn seas with a flick of the wrist, yet it’s like someone cast a ”brain-dead halo” over the whole place.

They don’t act decisively when they should, don’t cut their losses when they should, don’t scheme when they should, don’t seize the chance when they should.

They’ve gotten so used to solving problems with brute force that they’ve basically thrown strategy out the window, and by the way, they also treat everyone else like idiots.

Xin Lifeng is like that, Sao Bao is like that, those God Slaying Alliance people are like that too.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly blinked and he showed a wicked grin—maybe he should organize a few special ops teams.

Like a Pyramid Scheme Squad, a Cult Squad, a Scam Squad, and so on and so on.

Bring over those guys in the Heavenly Dynasty who have nothing better to do than study how to con people, and count it as them serving the motherland!

If they die, they had it coming; if they live, they can go wreak havoc somewhere.

Mm, not a bad idea.

Lu Xiaobu decided that once this matter was over, he’d get moving on it.

He ignored both groups over there, and both groups stayed silent as well.

However, in secret Sao Bao had already given the order—prepare to go all out and kill Lu Xiaobu.

Acting like this wasn’t exactly safe, but right now they had no better option!

Right after, Mei Tingluan also lost patience: ”Go! Capture Lu Xiaobu and I’ll give you your freedom!”

As soon as she said that, the eyes of those slaves instantly went red!

To them, no Cultivation, no treasure, could compare to the temptation of freedom.

Then, under that temptation, they surged toward Lu Xiaobu like a tidal wave.

And just as they charged out, Mei Tingluan waved her hand again.

In an instant, a dozen Nascent Soul Stage slaves also rushed out.

This was Yiji Mansion’s most commonly used tactic: Golden Core Stage charge in, Nascent Soul Stage mixed among them to strike.

Once you focus all-out on those Golden Core Stage ones, the Nascent Soul Stage will find an opening to attack.

But if you don’t go all out to respond, two fists can’t beat four hands; drag it out and the enemy will be exhausted.

It’s an open scheme, Yiji Mansion’s simplest and also the most headache-inducing routine.

Sao Bao saw Yiji Mansion make their move, cursed under his breath, then also said quietly: ”Do it!”

If their Nascent Soul Stage people could mix in, so could his Nascent Soul Stage people.

Since that’s the case, they’d just see whose hands were faster!

The surging human tide rushed at Lu Xiaobu; the momentum shook the heavens, unstoppable.

If this were on Aquablue Star, Lu Xiaobu could absolutely imagine this bunch not needing to launch any attacks—just steamroll forward and the whole planet would be scorched earth!

Unfortunately for them, this wasn’t Aquablue Star, and he wasn’t some ordinary person.

Watching the wave of people crash toward him, Lu Xiaobu chuckled: ”Let me show you what the Strength of Technology looks like!”

Then he snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, dense swarms of bees burst up from the ground and rushed into the crowd of slaves.

Seeing this, Sao Bao’s face tightened: ”Insect Control Master? Lu Xiaobu can do Insect Control too?”

Insect Control was a very niche Skill, but there were indeed people who studied this path.

Once mastered, whether for assassination or area attacks, its power was absolutely not to be underestimated!

However, this Skill not only required talent, it also needed massive financial and material resources to raise every single insect—it wasn’t something just anyone could Cultivate.

If this Lu Xiaobu really could do Insect Control, then Yiji Mansion’s human-wave tactics would be pretty meaningless against him!

After all, these slaves basically didn’t know any Cultivation Techniques.

He noticed this, and of course Mei Tingluan noticed it too.

Mei Tingluan felt it out with a grave expression, then suddenly burst into loud laughter: ”Don’t be afraid! Those things don’t have any Spiritual Energy; this guy’s just putting on a show, probably planning to use the chaos to run!”

Hearing Mei Tingluan’s words, the slaves who’d been a bit flustered calmed down again.

Especially when they saw the first batch of slaves in front suffer absolutely nothing after coming into contact with the bees—their killing intent boiled back up even hotter!

”I want my freedom back!”

”Surrender quietly!”

”Kill!”

”...”

Watching the wave of people rush at him, Lu Xiaobu didn’t even look up; he just yawned while fiddling with the custom phone in his hand.

The reason he had Xin Lifeng get these people to retreat a hundred li was to leave time for the bee robots to crack the collars.

As the human tide drew closer and closer, the progress bar on Lu Xiaobu’s phone also filled up more and more.

Although some of the bees were casually swatted to pieces by the slaves, their sheer numbers made up for it.

As long as the slaves didn’t feel the bees clinging to them and making them uncomfortable, they wouldn’t bother with them.

Finally.

”Done.”

Lu Xiaobu snapped his fingers.

Then he looked at the wave of people surging toward him. Without saying a word, he simply raised his hand, shaped it like a pistol, and tapped twice toward the two slaves at the very front.

At the same time, he added sound effects in a mean-spirited way: ”biu biu!”

The slaves almost wanted to laugh at his actions, but before they could actually laugh out loud—

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

The two slaves Lu Xiaobu had just pointed at with that idiot-looking gesture exploded with a thunderous bang!

In an instant!

In just a single instant, every slave who saw this scene froze in their tracks as a bone-deep chill surged up inside them!

Their reaction Speed was so fast it was shocking!

But that wasn’t purely because they were afraid of seeing someone die—it was because this scene was way too familiar!

So familiar it couldn’t be more familiar, so familiar it was basically carved into their souls!

This was the scene of a collar exploding!

Ever since they became slaves, the fear from this scene had been hammered into their minds by Yiji Mansion’s people, over and over and over, until just seeing it made them instinctively terrified!

And now, it was the same!

Very quickly, all the slaves stood there at a loss, and in the end they all turned to stare blankly at Mei Tingluan behind them.

In their eyes, this had to be Mei Tingluan’s doing!

They were confused!

You clearly told us to charge, so why are you killing our people now?

The slaves were stunned, and Sao Bao was stunned as well. He looked at Mei Tingluan in disbelief.

At the same time, his mind was spinning with thoughts!

Then a cold sweat flowed down from his head—could it be that Yiji Mansion had already made a deal with Lu Xiaobu, planning to stir up chaos, let his people slip in among the slaves, then encircle and slaughter them afterward?!

It was very possible!

Very possible!

As long as Lu Xiaobu revealed the fact that he’d leaked Yiji Mansion’s collar-unlocking secret, it wasn’t impossible for the two sides to reach some agreement!

Cold sweat kept gathering on his head into streams, while killing intent also began to boil up in his heart!
