Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1745: Chapter 1747: A Wake-Up Call

Xiao Zhi was chatting away with Lu Xiaobu, his eyes growing increasingly bright.

Lu Xiaobu even felt that this little guy was probably already thinking about how to create a star-class cannon and blast the Cultivation World with it.

This made Lu Xiaobu feel a bit amused—such lofty ambitions?

Looks like it’s time for a little knock on the head!

But just then.

The Spiritual Pressure Room, where the experiment was being conducted, suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.

Soon, someone began shouting.

”Bad! Stop quickly!”

Lu Xiaobu immediately turned to look.

He discovered cracks appearing on the walls surrounding the Spiritual Pressure Room.

The entire station was bathed in red light!

Without hesitation, Lu Xiaobu vanished into thin air, appearing inside the Spiritual Pressure Room in an instant, grabbing Lao Ma.

Just as he grasped Lao Ma, the Spiritual Pressure Room exploded!

Everyone was stunned, especially Xiao Zhi, who couldn’t believe what he was seeing—why did it explode?

When the smoke cleared, Lu Xiaobu returned to the station with Lao Ma in tow.

He protected Lao Ma, who was unharmed.

However, while Lao Ma was unharmed, Xiao Zhi was hurt.

A psychological wound.

He simply stared dumbfounded at the exploded Spiritual Pressure Room, his eyes filled with endless confusion: ”Why did it explode? It shouldn’t have! Why did it explode?”

Lu Xiaobu looked at him and shook his head, patting his shoulder: ”Don’t rush, think it over slowly, there’s no such thing as reaching heaven in a single step.”

Besides that, he said no more.

He had just considered knocking some sense into him, now it wasn’t necessary.

Though seeing the failure of the Spiritual Pressure Room, he did feel a bit disappointed!

However, if Xiao Zhi wakes up, he feels it’s worth it.

After all, these days he’s noticed that Xiao Zhi is a bit obsessed and excessively confident, always speaking in terms of certainty and absolutes.

Though he’s incredibly gifted and has superpowers in this area, he’s been too smooth sailing, forgetting himself a bit.

Although people in the Cultivation World don’t research science, they still have Alchemists and Artifact Refiners akin to scientists.

If it were really that simple for them to solve these issues, wouldn’t that make the Cultivation World seem too incompetent?

So, this failure is good, it can settle Xiao Zhi down!

”Yes, Brother Xiaobu.” Xiao Zhi nodded in agreement, but his eyes still betrayed confusion.

Lu Xiaobu didn’t say anymore—he let him settle by himself.

Afterward, he went over to Elder Yu.

Elder Yu was also a bit disappointed looking at the blast’s aftermath, but he wasn’t a child, so he quickly recovered and shook his head in self-mockery: ”I was enchanted, thinking everything would go smoothly.”

Upon this thought, he recalled boasting about transforming the entire Mainland before and chuckled at himself again.

”Alright, take your time. Now, give me a list of people who can withstand the Cultivation World’s spiritual pressure, along with their professions. They’re useful to me,” Lu Xiaobu told Elder Yu.

The failure of the Spiritual Pressure Room does not mean the research on spiritual pressure is incorrect, as spiritual pressure theoretically holds significant determinative significance.

”Alright, I’ve already compiled that,” Elder Yu shook his head, casting away his thoughts.

He was used to Lu Xiaobu’s working style, especially with one hundred thousand Iron Cavalry aiding, such matters needed no arrangements.

”Good.” Lu Xiaobu took the list, glanced at it, and nodded.

Though most of them were soldiers and disciples from the previous Tianxia Buwu, there were still several with professions he required.

”Let these people come to see me,” Lu Xiaobu selected some individuals and told Elder Yu.

Elder Yu looked it over and nodded, though he had some questions in his heart.

Some professions he understood Lu Xiaobu’s intent, like economists, builders, managers, and such management talents.

These professions Lu Xiaobu certainly wanted for developing several cities in the Cultivation World.

However, other professions, he did not quite understand.

For example, Liu Bo. This guy is a MLM operator, who once made a considerable stir, even established MLM villages as bases.

Eventually, he was caught and jailed for a long time.

However, it was later found he had a superpower, so his data was recorded.

Then there’s Qin Hai. This guy is worse than Liu Bo.

He is a cultist who stirred considerable momentum before, and wasn’t caught for a long time. Later, he gained superpowers and became even more intolerable, feeling almost self-deifying!

Afterward, he was apprehended by the Dragon Group.

And there are several more, some are henchmen of these two, others are scum from various schemes.

Qin Hai and Liu Bo, in particular, are scum among scum!

Really, Lu Xiaobu, what are you planning to do?

Nonetheless, he didn’t ask further, just went out to arrange things.

Once they arrived, Lu Xiaobu looked them over, said a few words, and then took them away, leaving Elder Yu baffled like a monk who can’t feel his mind.

Lu Xiaobu led the dozens back to Nanshan City.

They were utterly curious about the Nanshan City filled with exotic flavors, scanning around with their eyes.

Lu Xiaobu didn’t say much, just organized them into two groups—the Good Eggs Group and the Bad Eggs Group.

Hm, as always, the names were random.

The Bad Eggs Group was okay, while the Good Eggs Group felt toothache from the name.

However, since this was the renowned Lu Xiaobu they dared not say much.

Then they forgot about the name problem because they started feeling physically abnormal!

Those already martial artists weren’t unfamiliar with this feeling; it was the sensation of spiritual energy surging within them.

But the spiritual energy was overly abundant, so much it felt like stuffing them full.

”These are Cultivation Techniques prepared for you, go cultivate,” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, took out some cultivation techniques, handed them to them, and let them go cultivate.

The guards of Nanshan City were puzzled by these sudden arrivals, but Lu Xiaobu had long established supreme dignity here, so since Lord Lu did not explain, they dared not ask.

Soon, Nanshan City resumed tranquility.

However, the four City Lords of Gourd Waist’s four cities: Hu Nanshan, He Quwu, Liu Funing, and Qi Jiatong were all filled with questions, not knowing what this lord was up to again.

The four privately discussed it, but came to no conclusion, eventually giving up, waiting and seeing, knowing they couldn’t do anything anyway.

So they switched to another topic—what major event did Lord Lu say would occur these days? What kind of major event?
