The Moon Shadow Island.
The big shots of the associations who participated in the competition were ghastly pale.
Damn it!
If not for the fact that the giant deep sea bull happened to pass by tens of kilometers away, they would not have discovered it at all! If the disciples encountered it when they were cultivating in the future …
Ss — —
Their bodies turned cold at the thought of it.
"You guys …"
Seven-star Swordsman looked toward the developer's representative.
"We don't know either!"
The developer's representative said immediately.
Regardless of whether the higher-ups were aware of this, they could not admit it now!
To this …
Lu Ming smiled faintly and was filled with emotions. "This is a legendary creature … I wonder how many of them there are … Perhaps it is a tribe …"
Shush!
The big shots' expressions changed slightly. Tribe …
"Sigh.
"This creature is rumored to be at the bottom of the deep sea and we can't catch it …
"It's difficult."
Lu Ming sighed faintly.
Giant deep sea bull.
As the name suggested, it lived in the deep sea!
Be it seven-star or eight-star, regardless of whether they had the ability to kill it or not, once it dived into the sea, there was nothing they could do. Unless …
They stepped into the deep sea!
However …
There were too many unknown creatures and terrifying beings in the deep sea territory. If they really dived into it …
Hehe.
At the thought of this …
The big shots' expressions turned even uglier.
They chose the Moon Shadow Island because the island was far away from the mainland and it was safe! If there was such a creature …
What else was there to choose?!
"I give up!"
The Summoner Association made a decision immediately.
They created the sacred bull on the island and cultivated the summoned beasts! If other beasts targeted it, they might treat it as a meal.
What else could they cultivate?
"I give up too."
The Swordsman Association shrugged helplessly.
Since the Summoner Association had given up, the Swordsman Association naturally did not have the right to compete.
In that case …
The Sword Card Master Association was the only one left.
"Oh …
"In that case …"
Lu Ming was worried. He looked toward Li Haoran. "Why don't we give up as well?"
"Okay."
Li Haoran agreed.
With this creature, they did not need to compete.
Ah?
The developer's representative's heart turned cold.
Damn it!
If they all gave up, what would happen to them?!
Because of this damned Deep Sea Giant Bull, the Moon Shadow Island that they had painstakingly developed was likely to become a wasteland, an unfinished island, and ultimately, a wasteland!
This is not building a house!
And there were a bunch of 'honest people' who took over!
On the sea!
Over here!
If it really ended badly, then it would be over!
He looked pleadingly at the representatives of the various associations. They had all given up. Only Lu Ming seemed to be hesitating. Perhaps there was still a chance of survival?
"Guild Master!"
The developer's representative leaned in front of Lu Ming. "You see … our island's conditions are actually very good. The scenery is beautiful. You should know this when you first discovered it."
"But there are cows …"
Lu Ming was worried.
"All the trials in the Moon Shadow imprint have been restored. You can train at will!"
The developer representative said.
"But there are cows …"
Lu Ming was worried.
"Our island's basic facilities have all been completed. We've already connected water, electricity, and the internet. We've even established transportation within the island! Dozens of stations! "
The developer's representative said earnestly.
"But there are cows …"
Lu Ming sighed.
"We've also built a shopping mall, a library, and a residential area on the island. This is for you to store legacy books and sell specialties in the future."
The developer was teary-eyed.
These were all projects that they would use to increase the value of the island!
Although …
The land here was not valuable.
"But there are cows …"
Lu Ming sighed.
"…"
The developer was crazy. Could he not talk about cows?!
That cow …
Who knew that it would appear?!
"I think so."
Lu Ming said in a low voice, "Since deep-sea giant cows have appeared and we have to spend a lot of money to look at them, then the value of this island will definitely depreciate. What do you think?"
"So what do you mean?"
He looked at Lu Ming cautiously.
"Why don't …"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment. "Why don't you spend some money and give us a 10% discount?"
???
The developer was in tears.
How could there be a 10% discount?!
If that's the case, you might as well end badly …
However …
Since Lu Ming was willing to negotiate, it was also a good thing.
Therefore, after an intense discussion between the two of them, Lu Ming's annual quota of ten Return Cards was reduced to five Return Cards a year!
It was halved!
At this moment.
The Moon Shadow Island transaction was completed!
"Lu Ming."
That seven-star Swordsman frowned slightly. "The deep-sea giant cows are not ordinary creatures. If you really want to choose this place, you have to be careful."
Even with Qiu Shuyi's help …
That kind of creature was not to be underestimated.
"Thank you."
Lu Ming was grateful.
After a long while …
The transaction was completed.
The various associations returned, leaving the Sword Card Master Association and the developer to handle the handover and signing of the contract. Only then did they finish their work.
At this moment.
Lu Ming's association finally had their first legacy site!
Officially!
As long as they handed in six Return Cards every year, they would have the right to use the Moon Shadow Island. Until the day they could not hand them in anymore!
Return Card!
According to the data from the Array Master Association, if there was only one Card Creator Grandmaster who created the card, he would need to work non-stop for seven days!
That was right!
It was that terrifying!
One could only create one Return Card every seven days!
Lu Ming's top-notch Six Stars Return Card was extremely difficult to create and consumed a lot of energy!
Thankfully …
Lu Ming could buy a few cards from the Array Master Association at a low price.
As for the future …
He reckoned that Lu Ming would be able to create them by next year. In the future, he would be able to do so! Therefore, Lu Ming was not worried about the future at all!
"Six cards!"
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
He did not expect that he would be able to negotiate with them at this price!
It seemed that …
The power of the deep-sea giant cows was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
However …
These big shots did not know that the so-called deep-sea giant cows were very far away from here. They had to summon them for a long time before they flew past them …
Threatening the Moon Shadow Island?
No way!
…
At this very moment …
The developer's representative also heaved a sigh of relief.
From the moment he saw that damn deep-sea giant cow, he knew that he was done for!
It was extremely cold!
This was similar to digging up a mass grave in the past when they were developing houses in the city! The value was greatly reduced! Even the Swordsman Association and the Summoner Association did not dare to touch it!
Thankfully …
Lu Ming took over.
Snort!
This small association most likely did not know how terrifying the deep-sea creatures were?
Anyway.
He just had to get rid of them.
Therefore, he quickly signed the contract and prepared to leave. When he arrived at the pier, he happened to see the big shot of the partner company alighting from the ship and walking toward him.
"Come.
"Old Zhang, let me show you something fun."
The big shot said mysteriously and then switched on his communication device. "Hahaha, when I came, I saw a group of cows queuing up to jump off the ship and commit suicide. Hahahahaha …"
???
The developer's representative was dumbstruck.
Damn.
Was that true? Of course!
…
After a long time …
The developer team gradually left.
The Sword Card Master disciples also strolled around the island excitedly.
The island was very big.
The scenery was beautiful.
Just as the developer had said, the infrastructure here had been rebuilt. Water and electricity were complete. There were shops, shopping malls, libraries and so on.
Therefore, the disciples went to check out the place.
However …
Before leaving …
The developer's representative told Lu Ming, "The residents on this island are not too law-abiding."
Yes.
The residents on the island!
There were people on the Moon Shadow Island!
The developers suspected that these people might be the original residents of the island …
Hence …
In the name of 'unity and love' and 'respect for human rights', they did not allow the local residents to enjoy the 'Native American' treatment and they did not organize a Thanksgiving Day …
Instead, they chose to cooperate.
However …
It was a pity.
They were willing to cooperate but the other party was not.
Therefore …
In the process of developing the island, they encountered all kinds of destruction.
To this …
The developers could only pretend that they did not see it. Anyway, it was not a big deal and it would not affect the construction. This kind of thing was a trivial matter in the development industry …
In the end …
These problems fell into the hands of Lu Ming.
"Residents on the island?"
Lu Ming only sneered coldly.
Hehe.
There were no residents on the island!
Back then, he was the one who demolished the island!
He thought that all those people were dead. He did not expect that there were still people alive …
However, on second thought, they were born and bred in the sea. They were certainly not like Lu Ming who did not know how to swim. Even if they were in the sea, they might not necessarily die.
Of course.
There was another possibility — some kind of tinder plan!
In general, for such a big operation, they would have a backup plan. They would hide the most outstanding batch of young people and the most talented ones. Once something happened …
They were their hope!
And coincidentally, the remaining residents were really young people.
"These people …"
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
However …
He did not think too much about it.
So be it the tinder. It did not have much to do with him.
He could not be bothered with them.
A large group of people led by 'Elder Xu' were already dead. As long as they did not create trouble, he could not be bothered with them.
However …
At this moment.
Li Haoran suddenly walked over with a solemn expression.
"Master.
"Something happened."
Li Haoran's expression was solemn. "Those damn guys destroyed the library that was built by the developers and all the traffic stations that could be used were destroyed …"
“???”
Lu Ming looked dumbstruck. "The library was destroyed?"
"Yes."
Li Haoran felt very helpless.
He did not expect that he would encounter such a thing the moment he took over.
"The traffic stations were destroyed as well?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
"Yes."
Li Haoran showed the traffic map to Lu Ming.
According to the data shown in the map, among the dozens of traffic stations built by the developers on the island, only one or two were still in operation. As for the rest …
They were all destroyed.
Lu Ming was taken aback.
It was true.
"I have a question."
Lu Ming asked doubtfully, "They travel back and forth by means of transportation. Everything is destroyed … How do they plan to move around?"
"Uh."
Li Haoran scratched his head. Obviously, he did not understand.
"Perhaps …
"This is the reason why a few traffic stations were not destroyed?"
Li Haoran made a guess.
This was because …
There were no means of transportation for them to destroy!
Lu Ming: → _ →
These people …
They did not seem to be very smart.
"Where are they now?"
Lu Ming asked.
"I'm not sure."
Li Haoran shook his head.
Those people were dressed in black and wore masks. They ran away after smashing the stations. They were extremely fast and hidden in the forest. It was not easy to find them. However …
Very soon …
Xiao Bai was back.
"Master.
"We met those people."
Xiaobai furrowed her brows.
This was what happened.
She followed a few Sword Card Master disciples and was about to go to the newly built shopping mall when she met those so-called residents on the island. Those people …
They occupied the shopping mall.
"The shopping mall?"
Lu Ming was stunned. "What are they doing in the shopping mall?"
"I don't know."
Xiao Bai shook her head. "But I asked Xiao Bai to go in."
Buzz —
Lights flashed.
Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly appeared and a message popped up.
"Xiao-Xiaobai sent it to me."
Xiao-Xiaojian said.
"Yes."
Lu Ming looked at the message.
The content was — A group of men in black in the shopping mall. They stood proudly. A young man was at the front and he read a long paragraph, announcing the establishment of a provisional government.
Huh?
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
Xiao Bai was dumbstruck as well.
Provisional government …
Provisional government?
You only have so few people and you actually want to establish a nation?
You must be crazy!
"Nonsense!"
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
Forget it.
He would destroy them.
Lu Ming called Li Haoran and the rest over. He brought Xiao Bai and was about to destroy them. However, just at this moment, Xiao Bai sent another message …
Those people …
They were gone.
"Didn't they establish a nation?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
"Yes."
Xiao-Xiaojian contacted Xiao Bai again and its expression turned strange. "Weren't they crowded in the square of the shopping mall? It was hot and dry. Later, Xiao Bai switched off the air-conditioner in the shopping mall and those people moved their capital … "
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao Bai was speechless.
These people …
Were they kidding?!
"If Elder Xu knew that their descendants are like this, I'm afraid he would jump out of his grave in anger?"
Lu Ming had a spurious smile on his face.
In the past …
Elder Xu and his group of people schemed against the legacy of the Moon Shadow. They harmed generations after generations and eventually infiltrated the legacy. That was amazing!
But now …
They were dead.
They left behind descendants.
The so-called seeds that they protected, the so-called young people …
They were actually good-for-nothings!
Just like that …
They still wanted to revive?
Just like that …
They still wanted to take revenge?
Forget it.
Their brains were already in such a state. Couldn't you just 'Sister Li' a little?
However …
What if this was their plot?
Lu Ming pondered deeply. What if these people deliberately pretended to be good-for-nothings and wanted to deceive everyone?
However …
Just as Lu Ming was pondering, things were not over yet.
It was said that after those people left the shopping mall, they went to an empty field to announce the establishment of a nation. Later on, it rained and they announced that they would move their capital …
In the end …
It was said that they left the island and went to the sea, announcing the independence of this sea area …
Afterward …
A group of sea cows that passed by …
They were stabbed to death.
None of them were left.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao Bai was speechless.
The two of them stared at each other and could not come to their senses for a long time.
This …
What kind of nonsense was this?!
"True enough, I overestimated their intelligence."
Lu Ming sighed.
There was no doubt about it.
He was certain.
If this news were to spread to the mainland and to those enthusiastic netizens, they would definitely eat melons and enjoy the air-conditioner while sighing with emotion.
It was not a big deal. It was not as expensive as pork prices …
Just like that …
He was still worried that the other party had fallen into their trap?
→_→
However …
Why were there sea cows??
Oh.
He remembered now.
Lu Ming vaguely remembered that this was how the Moon Shadow Island was destroyed … And now, he asked Xiao Bai to cast the Burial Mound Card from tens of kilometers away …
Naturally, the sea cows went there as well.
And it was very unfortunate.
Our adorable 'island residents' met them …
It was a pity.
…
Anyway.
The matter regarding the men in black was resolved.
The disciples of the Sword Card Master Association repaired the damaged facilities. From today onwards, the Moon Shadow Island truly belonged to the Sword Card Master Association!!!
Of course.
Right now, they still faced a huge problem … traffic!!!
It was not the traffic on the island but the real traffic. It was too far from Tian Du City!!! It would take a few hours to travel by private plane!
Furthermore, it was very expensive!
Which disciple of the association had money?
Which student in the college had money?
As for reimbursement …
Lu Ming could not afford it!
Unless …
The Teleportation Nexus!
"Can you do it?"
Lu Ming looked for the teenager in red.
"…"
The teenager in red felt very ashamed. "I can't."
"Oh."
Lu Ming understood.
At this very moment …
Lu Ming's wristband communication device suddenly vibrated. Lu Ming took a look and was shocked to discover that it was a video call from Gao Xiaoqing!!!
Eh?
Lu Ming scratched his head.
What was Gao Tianlang, that sis-con, up to this time?
Hence …
He picked up the call.
However …
To his surprise, the person who appeared on the other end was actually the young lady that he had not seen for a long time — Gao Xiaoqing!
"Lu Ming."
Gao Xiaoqing blushed slightly.
"Long time no see."
Lu Ming was overjoyed.
Finally …
He finally met this lady.
Due to his damn sis-con, every time he contacted Gao Xiaoqing, it was as if he was doing some underground work … He was between laughter and tears.
"Y-yes, it's been a long time."
Gao Xiaoqing felt embarrassed.
"Just nice."
Lu Ming came to his senses. "Do you know how to set up a long-distance teleportation array?"
"Yes."
Gao Xiaoqing nodded.
However …
She soon noticed the teenager in red behind Lu Ming. "Ah, you're here too."
"I-it's me."
The teenager in red blushed instantly. Coupled with his bright red clothes, he looked like a crayfish that had just been cooked.
"Don't you know how to set up a teleportation array?"
Gao Xiaoqing asked curiously.
"Oh.
He said that he couldn't do it. "
Lu Ming felt regretful.
"Oh."
Gao Xiaoqing understood.
The teenager in red was speechless.
What did he mean by saying that he couldn't do it?!
He was a man … Why couldn't he do it?! He might fail if he was not familiar with the array. Why couldn't he do it?! How could he say that!
Especially —
In front of his beloved lady!
"I didn't!"
The teenager in red blushed. "I just …"
"Can you do it?"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
If he could do it, he would not have to trouble Miss Xiao Qing! Although he liked this lady, he really hated Gao Tianlang!!!
"No, I just …"
The teenager in red instantly became listless.
If he was really that capable, he would not have been despised by her …
"Can you do it or not?"
Lu Ming was baffled.
"…"
The teenager in red gritted his teeth. Looking at Xiao Qing's beautiful face, he lowered his head slightly and blushed. "I'm sorry, I can't do it."
"A — alright."
Lu Ming was disappointed.
This child's words were not reliable at all.
It seemed that …
He had to ask Miss Xiao Qing.
"Do you have time to come over?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Y-yes!"
Gao Xiaoqing nodded.
"Your brother doesn't care about you?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
He was just asking casually. He did not expect Xiao Qing to agree. Gao Tianlang, that sister complex, would allow his sister to come all the way here to send him off …
Array?!
"I will think of a way!"
Gao Xiaoqing said embarrassedly.
"Okay."
Lu Ming smiled. "I'll wait for you then."
"Definitely!"
Gao Xiaoqing said.
