Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
The problem of the Twin Crystals had been resolved for the time being. However, for some unknown reason, Lu Ming felt that deep in his heart, there was a hint of gloominess and coldness looming …
Was it an illusion?
Or perhaps it was true?
Lu Ming was uncertain.
And …
Lu Ming did not know why such a problem would occur and when it would occur again.
And …
That feeling of palpitation …
Hence …
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment and switched on his communication device.
"Sister.
"Are you there?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Yes."
Lu Yan replied instantly.
"Eh?"
Lu Ming was surprised. "Have you found Senior Qiu and the rest?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
Lu Yan paused briefly. "They got lost in the northernmost area."
"…"
Lu Ming was silent.
Lost …
True enough.
The northernmost area was not an ordinary place. Even grandmaster-level big shots might get lost. Fortunately, his sister had found them.
"When will you be back?"
Lu Ming asked.
"I don't know."
Lu Yan replied.
"Huh?"
Lu Ming scratched his head. Since they had found them, why couldn't they come back together?
"Right now …"
Lu Yan sighed. "We got lost together."
Lu Ming was speechless.
Sister, are you that outstanding?!
"Do you need me to go over?"
Lu Ming asked.
"No need."
"Master said that we don't need another lost person …"
Lu Yan replied calmly, "We are fine. We are all grandmasters and there is no danger. Master has not rested for a long time. We can treat this as a holiday."
Lu Ming: → _ →
A big shot was indeed a big shot.
Was it alright to travel to the northernmost area?
However …
He thought about it carefully.
Senior Qiu was an eight-star, Second Uncle was an eight-star, the Qiu family twins were seven-stars and his sister was a quasi-seven-star …
It seemed like …
There really wasn't any danger.
In that case …
Lu Ming was relieved.
"Sister."
"Do you remember the crystal?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Hmm?"
Lu Yan became serious. "Did something happen?"
"Yes."
"It moved."
Lu Ming's expression was grave.
"…"
Lu Yan pondered for a long time before replying, "Then should I call you little sister now?"
Lu Ming:???
Sis, can you not make this kind of joke!
"You're not surprised at all?"
Lu Ming was speechless.
"Ever since you took out the loan in women's clothing … I knew this day would come."
Lu Yan sighed.
"…"
Lu Ming was silent.
"No!"
"I'm still a man!"
Lu Ming explained helplessly, "I used a lot of extreme Yang items to neutralize that power, but I don't know why this happened."
"There are only two possibilities."
Lu Yan thought about it.
"First …
"The Yang energy in your body is dissipating, but the possibility is very small. This is because back then, you used those things around the crystal! The meaning of those things' existence is to neutralize the crystal. Therefore, when the crystal enters your body, those things will enter as well and you will still be in a neutral state.
"Therefore …
"There is only the second possibility.
"The power of the crystal …
"It has increased."
Lu Yan was very serious.
"Increased?!"
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat. This thing?? It would increase by itself?!
"Yes."
Lu Yan explained, "The horror of the Twin Crystal is far beyond your imagination. Otherwise, why do you think that organization has been chasing after you for so many years?
"It is very possible …
"It will increase along with your ability."
Shush!
Lu Ming was shocked.
Along with …
His ability would increase along with it?!
He had only just reached Six Stars!
Wait a minute.
Lu Ming suddenly understood.
He seemed to have encountered the same problem as Miss Tian — His power had increased too quickly, causing his control over his body to weaken. He could not suppress it at all!!!
Five-star realm.
He was already at the super peak! He could kill Six Stars in seconds. His control was amazing!
And when he reached Six Stars …
Because he had just broken through, his ability did not increase much and his combat ability did not increase much. On the contrary, the Twin Crystal might increase its sinister aura after breaking through …
Afterward …
Something happened!
"I understand now."
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
That was to say …
If he wanted to stabilize his current realm, he had to replenish a large amount of Yang energy and increase his combat ability!
Of course.
If he continued to break through at such a fast speed and advanced to seven-star without considering the consequences, then …
Bam!
The Twin Crystal transformed.
A fresh and lively young lady came out!
This scene …
Lu Ming's hair stood on end at the thought of it.
He was the president!
He was a man!
The dignity in his bones did not allow him to accept such a thing!
"That's right."
Xiao-Xiaojian also understood. "It's better not to transform."
"Oh?"
Lu Ming looked at it in surprise.
It was rare.
Xiao-Xiaojian had also figured it out.
"I think I understand now."
Xiao-Xiaojian analyzed calmly. "Males are more reliable for reproduction. If you transform, you can only give birth to tens of children a year …
"You can only have one litter in a lifetime with the help of catalysts, stimulants, and hormones."
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn it!
This research …
Are you treating me as a pig?!
"Also …
"In the past, I did not understand why most of the leaders in human culture are male. Recently, after studying human culture, I finally understand the reason …"
Xiao-Xiaojian's thoughts were unprecedentedly calm.
"Why?"
Lu Ming asked coldly.
"That's because those are all nonsense …"
Xiao-Xiaojian said.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Crash!
A big foot went up.
Lu Ming kicked it against the wall. Afterward, he gave it a good lesson on what nonsense was!!! Which nonsense was it!!
"Is it this nonsense?"
Xiao-Xiaojian was full of doubts.
"Yes."
Lu Ming was expressionless.
"This is strange."
Xiao-Xiaojian muttered, "It doesn't make sense …"
Lu Ming was speechless.
Forget it.
He could not be bothered with it.
Anyway.
He had to be stronger if he did not want to be triggered by the Twin Crystal! The 'stronger' here did not refer to the realm, but the pure combat power!
Cards?
Not really.
External cards can't help you.
Realm?
Not really.
When his realm increased, the Twin Crystal would also increase. It might even backfire.
Especially —
Seven-star!
At the moment, only real control and understanding of combat ability could allow Lu Ming to firmly control the Twin Crystal!!! In case of accidents!
"Understood."
Lu Ming sighed.
First, he had to increase his combat ability.
Second, he had to replenish his Yang energy.
…
He could not rush to increase his combat ability. He could only slowly stabilize his realm and train. The fastest way now was to replenish his Yang energy!!!
As long as his Yang energy was strong enough, the Twin Crystal would not be able to do anything.
And to this …
Lu Yan also gave him some suggestions.
"Those things that you found are useless.
"Although they can temporarily replenish his Yang energy, they will lose their effect very soon … In order to truly suppress the Twin Crystal, you have to use something that can permanently increase it.
"For example —
"Plucking Dragon Bones."
Lu Yan sent him some data.
These were all pills that could really increase his Yang energy.
Permanently.
"There are some in the extreme north."
Lu Yan thought about it. "I can help you look for them."
"Okay."
Lu Ming felt warmth in his heart.
However …
Distant water could not quench present thirst.
His sister and the rest would not be back anytime soon …
Therefore …
He could only rely on himself!
Plucking Dragon Bones …
Elephant Pulling Mountain …
Lu Ming looked at the permanent energy pills that contained infinite Yang energy. Each of them was priceless and ordinary people could not buy them at all!
Thankfully …
The Sword Card Master Association was rich.
Hence …
Lu Ming spent money in a domineering manner. Within two days, all the items that could be bought in the market were brought to the Sword Card Master Association.
After Lu Ming took them …
Finally …
The indistinct sinister aura disappeared.
Finally —
It was stabilized!!!
"Phew —"
Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief. He did a few squats to feel it.
Well …
The function was still there.
True enough …
The happiness of the rich was that boring.
Even such a terrifying problem could be solved so easily.
Hehe.
However …
Such happiness did not last long. Just as Lu Ming solved his physiological problems and was preparing to stabilize his realm, Moon Shadow Island —
Something had happened!
A large number of cultivators appeared on Moon Shadow Island. They seemed to be evaluating something.
"What's happening?"
Lu Ming was somewhat puzzled.
"It's the developers …"
Li Haoran said after investigating, "They want to take back Moon Shadow Island."
"Why?"
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Because they feel that a few Return Cards are not worth it …"
Li Haoran was speechless. "They analyzed the cost of the Return Cards and felt that a few Return Cards every year would be a huge loss …"
Lu Ming was speechless.
"Isn't it the same for Swordsman?"
Lu Ming was very puzzled.
This is what you need!
We have the same ability as Swordsman!!
We are safer, more reliable and more stable than Swordsman!
What are you not satisfied with?
"It's about the cost."
Li Haoran was between laughter and tears. "Swordsman's ticket … requires a seven-star Swordsman to do it personally. The labor cost is huge and therefore the value is immeasurable! As for our Return Cards, with the improvement of our abilities and in-depth research, they realized that it is very easy to …
"Then they will regret it."
？？？
Lu Ming had some understanding now.
Oh.
The most common cost theory …
A cell phone that was worth six thousand yuan cost five thousand yuan. He felt that it was acceptable.
A cell phone that was worth six thousand yuan cost five hundred yuan. He felt that he was suffering a huge loss …
However …
He did not know that the cost of this item was five hundred yuan. It required hundreds of millions of research and development fees to keep the price so low.
And in this world …
The emergence of the Return Card was due to research and development.
Theoretically …
It was priceless in itself!
Clearly, they had provided better conditions than Swordsman …
But, look at the outcome!
These guys came to create trouble because of this.
"They sent us the penalty fee."
Li Haoran said in a low voice.
Upon finishing his words …
He pointed to a crystal box placed at the door.
Inside …
Dozens of Return Cards were placed neatly there.
Ten times the penalty fee.
It was complete.
"They are that ruthless?"
Lu Ming exclaimed in shock.
Although it was very easy for him to create Return Cards, to these people, they needed a large number of grandmasters to create them successfully!
There were so many Return Cards …
How long had these guys been doing this?
They might have used all the favors they owed!
They were so generous …
"What do they want?"
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
"Flower Burial Card."
Li Haoran shrugged.
"Tell them to get lost!"
Lu Ming pursed his lips.
The Flower Burial Card was the most powerful benefit system of the Sword Card Master Association in the future. How could they give it to them?! Besides, they had signed the Moon Shadow Island contract!
"I can't chase them away."
Li Haoran was helpless.
They had already paid the penalty fee. What else could he do?
Right now …
These guys were here to act shamelessly.
They were eyeing the benefits of the Flower Burial Card and wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze them and raise the price …
Later stage construction?
It was okay.
Ten times the compensation!
Loss of disciples?
It was okay.
Ten times the compensation!
Anyway.
We will pay whatever the price is. However, Moon Shadow Island … Sorry, we are not selling it.
"These things …"
Li Haoran looked at the compensation sent by the developer.
It was very huge.
The value of the Return Card and a large amount of compensation. It could be said that the developer had really given them ten times the penalty fee and compensation. They had nothing to say!
After all …
Nominally, the value of the things sent by the developer had already exceeded that of Moon Shadow Island!
However …
The problem now was not the compensation!!
Moon Shadow Island had already become a trial for the disciples. It had also become an exclusive legacy. If it was gone … It would be a huge loss to the prestige of the Sword Card Master Association!
This was also what they wanted!
Therefore …
They were up to no good.
"Hehe."
Lu Ming's expression was calm.
He had seen too many of such things.
In his previous life, when he was a programmer in the capital, there would basically be such a drama every year when he rented a house. The second landlord, the third landlord, the intermediary company ran away …
He had experienced all of them.
It was a piece of cake.
Penalty fee …
Oh.
Right.
Also, our lovely Sansang loved to do this.
As the world's largest screen supplier, our Sansang often cut off its supply because the sales of other companies' cell phones were too good …
It had been a long time.
Therefore, no one gave it the exclusive supply of screens. It even looked for JINGDONG for fruits …
After all …
It was too shameless.
However, they really did such a thing.
Therefore …
Lu Ming was very calm.
Hehe.
It would be fine once the penalty fee was paid, right?
Alright.
Let's follow your logic.
"Accept it."
Lu Ming smiled faintly. "Since they are willing to give us ten times the compensation, how can we not accept it? The value of this thing has already exceeded that of Moon Shadow Island. "
"But …"
Li Haoran was very worried.
The Sword Card Master Association did not lack money at all!
What they lacked was a foundation and opportunities! Once they gave up on Moon Shadow Island, it would be difficult to get it back in the future! They might even go back to Swordsman!
"It's okay.
"I know what I'm doing."
Lu Ming said.
"Okay."
Li Haoran gritted his teeth.
Hence …
They accepted the terms offered by the developer.
…
The next day.
The developer came knocking on their door.
Just as they were about to accept the Moon Shadow Island, they were chased out by the disciples of the Sword Card Master Association.
"Lu Ming!
"What do you want?"
The developer's representative's expression was sullen.
"I wanted to ask you the same question."
Lu Ming smiled faintly. "This is the private territory of the Sword Card Master Association!"
"I have already paid the penalty fee."
The developer said coldly.
"I know."
Lu Ming smiled faintly. "However, I'm sorry. I bought this island from the First College. What has it got to do with you?!
"We developed this!"
The developer's representative widened his eyes. "We signed a contract with the First College."
"I'm sorry."
Lu Ming shrugged. "If I'm not wrong, the penalty fee has already been paid to your company …"
The developer was speechless.
Wait a minute.
He suddenly understood.
Damn!
He had forced Lu Ming to pay the penalty fee and terminated the contract! The First College had also forced them to pay the penalty fee and terminated the contract! Therefore, right now, Moon Shadow Island …
"I'm sorry."
Lu Ming smiled faintly. "This is private territory. If you trespass again, you will be killed without mercy!"
Bang!
Sword gleams flashed.
The Sword Card Master disciples stepped forward.
The developer and the rest glanced at them in panic and fled in a sorry state.
…
"It's very simple, isn't it?"
Lu Ming glanced at Li Haoran.
"…"
Li Haoran was shocked.
Therefore …
The Moon Shadow Island had become theirs?!
Private?!
An entire island?!
Of course.
The most shocking thing was that they did not pay much even after paying ten times the compensation!!! It was actually the same price that the developer had paid for the loan!
Afterward …
They turned the rented Moon Shadow Island into a purchased one!
"How is that possible?"
Li Haoran was somewhat horrified. "Why did they pay such a low price for the Moon Shadow Island?"
"What do you think?"
Lu Ming pursed his lips.
That was because he had not seen some of the so-called richest people in his previous life.
They bought the land at a very low price and promised to develop it. However, they did not develop it for more than ten years and then sold it at a price that was dozens of times the original price … They were shameless!
Therefore …
After he found out about the situation, he looked for the dean to understand.
Afterward …
The developer had nothing to do with it.
The First College cared about their reputation and would never breach the contract. Therefore, the value of the penalty fee was very low. Lu Ming easily paid for it.
After all …
This time, the developer was shameless first.
"The First College still has to give me face."
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
The testing area that he invested in the First College was still useful. At the very least, it had a very high reputation. Although it was later destroyed …
Cough.
Of course.
As for the consequences …
He donated another testing area.
Right.
That was right.
The reason why the dean was able to convince the dean was that Lu Ming was willing to donate another testing area to the school …
→_→
Hence …
This matter was resolved just like that.
From now on, the Moon Shadow Island would become the private territory of the Sword Card Master Association!
It was unshakable!
…
However …
Come to think of it …
Do these developers really have the guts to do this? Although the Sword Card Master Association was a small association, they could not bully them at will!
Later on …
At the thought of the Hundred Flowers Sect …
"Haoran."
"Yes."
"Do a thorough investigation."
"Understood."
Li Haoran's voice was low.
However …
Before that … "Master, there is one more thing to report."
"Speak."
Lu Ming's voice was low.
"Our association is poor again …"
Li Haoran sighed.
“？？？”
Lu Ming was puzzled.
Poor?
How could that be possible?
He was Lu Gaotong, okay?!
Xiaolu and Xiaolan were working very hard to earn money for him. How could he be poor?
"This is what happened."
Li Haoran analyzed in a serious manner. "In order to maximize the future profits of the association, we did not buy out the authorizations. We gave out the profits in the form of shares.
"This is the only way.
"This is the only way to generate stable profits.
"Therefore, our profits are for long-term development. It is not like what you did in the past, where you cheated one association at a time … Ah, wrong, bought out one association at a time."
Li Haoran explained.
"Therefore, that testing area …"
Lu Ming came to his senses.
"Yes."
Li Haoran sighed. "You donated most of the association's funds."
"…"
Lu Ming was silent.
After a long while …
He sighed. "Therefore … we are unable to maintain operations again?"
"That's not the case."
Li Haoran scratched his head. "The profits of the Flower Burial Card are still very high. However, in order to maintain the smooth operation of the association, there are some things that are not necessary …
"Let's go."
Lu Ming sighed.
"Yes."
Li Haoran obeyed.
Hence …
Under Lu Ming's pained gaze, Li Haoran removed the buckets of energy liquid from the office and the equipment for the energy bath …
Ah.
His heart was in pain.
Lu Ming was in tears. My simple and boring happiness …
…
