The winner was decided?
Many people bowed their heads and stood up from their seats, as if they could see the results of the competition earlier.
Under the dust, Lü Luo's expression was a little helpless.
He seemed unwilling to accept the result, but he was afraid of Bambusa Chinensis's strength.
Seeing this scene, many gamblers were overjoyed.
"I knew it. How could someone from the challenger group be a match for someone from the winner group? That's something that has never happened before.
It has never happened before, and it will never happen again, "gambler A.
"It's over, it's all over," gambler B.
"Although I don't know the details of their battle, I feel that there is something fishy about it."
There were all kinds of people discussing the battle between Lü Luo and Bambusa Chinensis.
Although Lü Luo's previous performance was very strong, he didn't fight much.
Compared to Lü Luo, Bambusa Chinensis's battle was more convincing.
The result of today's battle was unexpected, but it was reasonable.
Unexpectedly, a freak like Lü Luo appeared.
It was reasonable because even if there was a freak, he couldn't defeat the genius Bambusa Chinensis.
Standing in the stands, Mayor Yun smiled. He had also bought some tickets for the battle between Bambusa Chinensis and Lü Luo.
Of course, he had bought them through other channels.
With his current status, such things were just for fun and couldn't be taken seriously.
Even if he lost, he could flip the table.
He was the mayor, and his power didn't allow him to do that, but it didn't mean he couldn't.
"Her Royal Highness lost. Although Lü Luo is very outstanding, he can't be compared to a seedling like Bambusa Chinensis.
But her Royal Highness has good taste.
I didn't expect Lü Luo and Bambusa Chinensis to be able to fight to this extent. "
Lost? She would be numb if she won, alright?
Bambusa Chinensis was Lü Luo's wife, and Lü Luo was now her business partner.
Tonight, they would make their first move.
Although it was an operation against his former employer, this first operation had extraordinary significance.
To a large extent, it meant that Wu Liji finally possessed the combat prowess of a Seventh Grade that she could use.
Although Lü Luo's personality was very bad, his efficiency and speed were still worth looking forward to.
It could be seen from the few conflicts he had with him before.
Lü Luo was definitely a man of action.
"So what if I win or lose? In any case, Lü Luo is already mine.
As for Bambusa Chinensis, he might become one of my people in the future. "
"Eh, Your Highness is right.
It seemed that Her Highness had a fruitful trip to the west this time.
But it is an honor to have you in the west. "
"Don't joke around, Mayor. I'm just a small princess. Compared to my royal brothers and sisters, I'm insignificant.
But you're different. You're one of the nine district mayors.
In terms of social status, you're much higher than me. "
Wu Liji interrupted Mayor Yun's flattery. This old fox who was about to retire was not easy to deal with.
Wu Liji did not intend to have too much contact with this guy.
She had been hiding very well. Now, she was prepared to continue hiding.
"Your Highness is joking. I'm about to retire.
The future of the Empire is in the hands of young people like you. "
"Hehe, I heard that the mayor's son is also very outstanding. There will be someone to take over.
Alright, the competition is over. We should go on stage and give them the awards. "
"Okay."
In the arena, the referee who had been hiding far away walked up again.
After confirming the result of the battle, he shouted:
"Winner, Bambusa Chinensis!"
The audience cheered. This made Bambusa Chinensis the star of the night.
However, Bambusa Chinensis herself did not think much of it. Her thoughts were all on Lü Luo.
If she had time to think about that, she might as well think about what to cook for Lü Luo tonight and what position to use at night.
"Next, let's invite Mayor Yun Que and Her Highness Wu Liji to give out the awards to the winners.
As we all know, the top ten in this competition can choose a resource point in the west as a reward.
Your club will have the right to mine and pay taxes.
Think about it carefully and cherish this opportunity. The next time will be three years later. "
Bambusa Chinensis was first and Lü Luo was second. This gave the Circle Company an absolute advantage in resource control.
However, Lü Luo had already negotiated with Wu Liji to give her a resource point.
Lü Luo did not intend to deny it.
A resource point was nothing compared to Wu Liji's connections.
Next was the mayor's speech, and Wu Liji gave everyone a trophy.
When Wu Liji arrived in front of Lv Luo with a crystal trophy in her hand.
She nodded at Lü Luo without feeling out of place.
"You did well."
Lü Luo frowned slightly. This kind of exchange was not mentioned before?
He looked at the strange gazes of the people around him and instantly understood what Wu Liji meant.
This woman was actually taking advantage of him!
[Deal with her tonight?]
Forget it, forget it. I'll endure it for a while.
Lü Luo's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten sh * t. However, under such circumstances, he had to do what an Empire recruiter should do.
And that was to kneel on one knee.
"Lü Luo thanks Your Highness for your appreciation and nurturing. I will definitely serve Your Highness."
Seeing Lü Luo kneel on one knee and pledge his loyalty to her, Wu Liji raised her eyebrows slightly.
At this moment, she was unprecedentedly happy.
No, this feeling could no longer be described as happy.
It should be said that it was unprecedentedly satisfying.
Was there anything more satisfying than making Lü Luo, that bastard, suffer?
Nothing.
"Okay, get up. Although you lost to Bambusa Chinensis today, your performance was already very outstanding.
At least you didn't embarrass me. When we go back, I'll reward you well. "
Hearing the conversation between Wu Liji and Lü Luo, many people came to a realization.
It turned out that Lü Luo was someone that Her Highness had taken a fancy to.
No wonder he suddenly rose to the top and made it all the way to the finals.
It was not too surprising that someone who was appreciated by Her Highness would have such a performance.
Although many people thought so, Lü Luo felt as if he had eaten a fly.
"Okay, think about what you want for your resource points.
We'll start with you, Miss Bambusa Chinensis.
For your Cain Secret Order to be able to rush to this position, your personal performance is impeccable.
Your contribution is also great. Tell me, what do you want? "
Bambusa Chinensis looked away from Lü Luo and Wu Liji.
"I want a Spirit Stone mining resource point in the western suburbs."
"Spirit Stones?! That's reasonable.
Give her the authorization. "
Mayor Yunque was very open-minded because this kind of allocation would be done every three years.
He was already used to it.
As long as one was not mentally disabled, they would not do something like this.
There were many loopholes in the Empire's laws.
However, there were also some places that were very strict.
After being an official for almost 40 years, Yunque knew very well what he should and should not do.
"What about you, Lü Luo, what do you want?"
"I want an iron ore mining site. Thank you, Mayor."
Lü Luo was very polite, which made Yunque very satisfied.
It was not that there had never been a challenger in the past, but many of those people were scum of society.
They were dirty, ugly, and disliked by Yunque.
However, Lü Luo was different. He was young, energetic, and polite.
It was no wonder that the Empress favored such a person.
Moreover, after climbing up the Empress' high branch, Lü Luo's future growth would be limitless.
"Your Highness, you really have a good eye.
If it weren't for the fact that I'm about to retire, I would have fought to let you stay in the Noble District. "
Lü Luo simply nodded at the mayor's joke.
Apart from Zhang Zhangming and Wu Liji, no one here knew that he had just saved the city.
An Eighth Grade mutant had been defeated. How many casualties had been reduced? How many economic losses had been avoided?
These things were immeasurable.
Wu Liji had the mentality of teasing Lü Luo because she knew what Lü Luo had done.
However, Lü Luo did not care at all. He had always done things with himself as the center.
Saving the Noble District and Coal Capital was just a matter of convenience.
Now that he had obtained what he wanted, the Circle's era of rapid development was about to arrive.
After distributing the resources, the club meeting came to a successful end.
From today onwards, the clubs in the Noble District would have a new understanding of the Cain Secret Order and Lü Luo.
For some reason, a large club like the Sunset Society chose to remain silent at this moment.
However, they were definitely convinced that the Cain Secret Order had obtained first place.
They would not fall out with them now, but it was still uncertain what they would say in the future.
"Alright, go back and have a good rest. In a few days, we can contact your respective resource points."
After returning to his residence, Lü Luo did not go out. Instead, he called Bambusa Chinensis and Zhou Kai, asking them to meet Wu Liji at night.
Normally, as the supervisor of the rear, Hitomi Hakuzuki should be present.
However, Lü Luo knew very well that Hitomi Hakuzuki's identity was very risky in the empire. Therefore, it was better to let Brother Kai handle this operation!
…
Late at night, in the temporary residence of the Empress, Wu Liji urged Lü Luo anxiously.
"The club meeting is over. We should go find Dan Kun and the others now.
Instead of wasting time here, what are you waiting for? "
Wu Liji clearly didn't want to continue waiting here. Compared to the matters here, what she wanted to do now was to find Gray Robe and ask about the seal.
"Haste makes waste. Especially at times like this, the more you can't be anxious.
Have you ever thought about what you should do under normal circumstances? "
"What normal circumstances?"
"Under normal circumstances, after the club meeting ends, the mayor will definitely invite you for a banquet.
Now that you've rejected the banquet, this is already something out of line.
It's even more unreasonable to leave now.
Don't let others suspect you. The most important thing is to disguise yourself well. "
Lü Luo nagged like a preacher, but Wu Liji didn't appreciate it.
"Stop talking nonsense. I don't need you to teach me how to do things. You're so long-winded, just like my mother."
"Sigh, I didn't say anything when you tricked me during the day.
Now that I've said a few words to you, you're panting? "
"Hmph!"
Quarrelling between the two was a common occurrence. Even if they were working together, the relationship between the two had never really eased.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the door. Lü Luo directly walked forward to open the door, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
When he opened the door, Bambusa Chinensis, Zhou Kai, and Gu Fangyi had all arrived.
"You're here."
"Mm!" Bambusa Chinensis nodded with a smile.
He also brought a midnight snack for Lü Luo.
This surprised Lü Luo. Under normal circumstances, although Bambusa Chinensis cared about him, he definitely wouldn't do such a thing.
Was it because of Wu Liji? Lü Luo laughed involuntarily.
"Let's go in quickly. Tonight, we have to settle the matters regarding the base and resource points."
"Okay."
When everyone came to Wu Liji's room, Wu Liji began to size up Bambusa Chinensis and the others.
These people should be Lü Luo's team.
Her first impression was that these people were very young, as young as Lü Luo.
Other than Zhou Kai, who looked a little older, Bambusa Chinensis and Gu Fangyi should be about the same age as Lü Luo.
"Are all of your people so young?
You have to know that the things we do in the future are very important. If we're not mature enough, many things can't be done well. "
Wu Liji's words were a little difficult, but Lü Luo didn't care at all.
Age? Was that a problem?
"I'm not that old either. It doesn't seem like you can do anything to me.
What's more, you're already so old. I don't think you're much better than us. "
I'm already so old? How am I old?
Wu Liji was a little angry. She was only 26 years old this year. Compared to Lü Luo and the others, she was only 4 years older.
How could she be considered old?
"Lü Luo, you're bullshitting."
"Believe me, I'm not bullshitting, really."
"You …"
"Okay, let's not talk about these unimportant things. Let me introduce you."
Lü Luo's expression suddenly became serious. For some reason, after seeing him like this, Wu Liji didn't dare to say anything more.
"Okay, go ahead."
Lü Luo came in front of the three and pointed at Zhou Kai.
"His name is Zhou Kai. He's the main person in charge of our team's logistics.
In the future, to a large extent, we'll have to talk to him about resource problems.
Brother Kai is very capable. He's serious and responsible. He's also very careful, so you don't have to worry about resource points.
We don't need your people to interfere with our team's matters.
What you need to do is to help us establish a good channel and help us sell the goods. "
Wu Liji frowned slightly. Lü Luo's meaning was very clear. He still wanted to form a small team.
Moreover, she was still excluded from this small group.
In this way, their cooperative relationship didn't seem very stable!
"I can promise you these things, but I also want to know what you mean by selling goods?
If it's normal goods, then it's fine. If it's contraband, I advise you to be kind. "
Wu Liji was a member of the Empire's royal family. She still maintained enough love and respect for the people.
This was because this country itself belonged to her family.
Therefore, contraband was Wu Liji's bottom line.
"Don't worry, the goods we sell are all legal goods. There won't be any contraband. You can rest assured about this."
"That's fine."
Lü Luo came in front of Gu Fangyi again.
"His name is Gu Fangyi. He's our team's combat team leader and one of the members of my personal team. He's good at reconnaissance and assassination.
In terms of cultivation talent, he's one of the people with the most potential in our team.
His future is limitless. Of course, if you have a request for protection or assassination, you can contact him.
You can also contact him. As a business partner, we will give you a suitable price after an evaluation. "
"Tsk, with my strength, why would I need the protection of such a person?"
"Hehe, I hope so."
Finally, Lü Luo came to Bambusa Chinensis's side.
"You should be very familiar with her. She's Bambusa Chinensis, my wife, and also one of the members of my personal team.
You already know about her fighting ability, but her main occupation is actually a doctor.
Her medical ability is far above her combat ability. She's an indispensable medical support member in our team. "
When Lü Luo mentioned Bambusa Chinensis, Wu Liji's eyebrows twitched.
This woman was indeed very stunning.
Powerful strength wasn't what she was best at. She even knew medicine?
Moreover, this woman didn't show any respect in front of her. What was her background?
"Hello, I'm Wu Liji."
"Hello, I'm Bambusa Chinensis."
The two women shook hands and got to know each other.
Lü Luo smiled. It didn't matter if there were any conflicts between them now or in the future.
These weren't important. What was important was that his goal had been achieved.
The current Circle was completely on the right track.
With Princess Wu Liji as a protective umbrella, he would completely take root in the Noble West District.
The resources of the Circle Company would continuously enter the Empire. He would be independent and become one of the most powerful forces in the entire Empire.
"Alright, since we've already met, from now on, our cooperation will officially begin.
The resource points I took previously will be handed over to Wu Liji. The remaining Spirit Stone mining site will be controlled by us.
From today onwards, the Empire Circle is officially activated. "
Looking at Lü Luo's orderly deployment of tasks, Wu Liji was a little absent-minded.
She was doubting Lü Luo's identity. If Lü Luo was a criminal in the past, he shouldn't have such organizational ability.
What was his past? Or their past? What was it?
"Is your organization called the Circle?"
"Yes, the Circle. Perhaps you've never heard of this name.
But it doesn't matter. You'll slowly get familiar with it in the future.
Moreover, this country also needs an organization with ambition and ideals like the Circle.
Maybe after you understand the Circle's philosophy, you'll join us. "
"Heh, philosophy? Gray Robe's philosophy is to save the common people. Although many Gray Robes didn't do that, their original philosophy was like this.
What's the philosophy of your Circle? Can it move me? "
Lü Luo smiled.
"Our Circle's philosophy is very simple. Buy vegetables at half price."
"Tsk, what kind of philosophy is that?"
"Don't you understand? It doesn't matter. When your vision is broader, you'll understand what I mean. "
What special meaning could there be in buying vegetables at half price?
"Deliberately mystifying things. Hey, are we still going to carry out what we talked about this morning?"
"Don't be in such a hurry. I'll explain things to them and then set off."
Lü Luo brought Bambusa Chinensis and the other two to the door to explain things. Meanwhile, Wu Liji was in the room thinking about what Lü Luo had just said.
The Circle's philosophy … is to buy vegetables at half price?
What kind of philosophy is half price?
Wait, if I think deeper, under what circumstances can I buy vegetables at half price?
Wu Liji thought silently for a while. Peace, prosperity, the entire society has strong enough productivity, and the prices are absolutely stable.
After all these conditions are met, it is possible to buy vegetables at half price.
But … is this really the Circle's philosophy?
"Am I overthinking things? Overinterpreting? "
Wu Liji was not sure if she had overinterpreted, but when she thought of Lü Luo's confident look, she felt a little guilty.
"The Circle's philosophy! Is it the people? "
…
At the door, Lü Luo was hugging and kissing Bambusa Chinensis goodbye.
Too many things had happened recently, and he really did not have much time to spend on the relationship between the two.
"Wife, it's been hard on you."
"What are you talking about? Everything we've done is meaningful.
And after this matter is over, we will have a base that truly belongs to the Empire.
At that time, the Circle will welcome a long period of stability.
I understand all of this. "
Bambusa Chinensis's vision and thinking had greatly improved compared to before.
She would no longer evaluate a matter based on her personal preferences.
However, tonight's supper was indeed a deliberate move on her part.
"Okay, regarding the Circle's matters, ahoge, Zhou Kai, Gu Fangyi, the four of us will take care of it.
You just need to take care of your own matters.
Also, remember to eat supper. Don't forget, it wasn't easy for me to make it. "
Lü Luo touched his head. He understood Bambusa Chinensis's meaning.
It was very simple. The flowers at home were already beautiful enough, and there was enough meat to eat. It was better to not get involved with other women outside.
However, this kind of action was somewhat untrustworthy.
Was he, Lü Luo, that kind of person? He was absolutely irreconcilable with gambling and drug addiction.
"I'm a very honest person outside. I never take the initiative to talk to girls. They're always the ones who provoke me first."
Bambusa Chinensis smiled. In fact, Lü Luo was indeed quite restrained when it came to women.
Otherwise, with his status as a local tyrant in the Wasteland Alliance, he would have already found countless women.
However, as a man, it was better to remind him more. Otherwise, he would become arrogant.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Come back early. Hitomi Hakuzuki and I will be waiting for you at home."
Lü Luo's eyes lit up. She was with Hitomi Hakuzuki?
This sentence has a different meaning!
[How did you understand it to that level? Is the nature of humans to be old perverts?]
"Is there anything else other than being old perverts?"
Lü Luo nodded at Bambusa Chinensis.
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible. Remember to come together."
"Huh? That's not what I meant. "
"Bye."
Lü Luo had already left, leaving behind Bambusa Chinensis and the other two who were in a mess in the wind.
Gu Fangyi and Zhou Kai were silent. As single dogs, they couldn't understand the fun between a man and a woman.
"Okay, let's go back and prepare.
The resources of the Wasteland Alliance are almost ready to come in. "
Lü Luo returned to Wu Liji. Wu Liji wanted to ask Lü Luo about the concept of the circle.
However, when the words reached her mouth, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"You're finally back? Can we go now?
If we delay any longer, Dan Kun might not be here anymore. "
Lü Luo felt that this woman's words were filled with resentment. What was she complaining about?
"Uh, wait for me to eat? Is that okay?
My wife made it. It's not appropriate not to eat it. "
Lü Luo raised the lunchbox in his hand. However, such a simple action instantly broke Wu Liji's defense.
"Get lost."
"Huh? Why? I didn't provoke you. "
"Get lost!"
Lü Luo could only pick up the lunchbox silently and squat at the door to eat.
"Seriously, I don't know what this woman is angry about."
…
After eating, Lü Luo and Wu Liji walked to Londo, where Dan Kun and the gray-robed elder were.
Wu Liji didn't speak along the way, and Lü Luo didn't ask for a snub.
He had a lot of doubts about the gray-robed elder.
He hoped that this time, the gray-robed elder who knew a lot of things could give him a reasonable explanation.
In a secret base in Londo, Dan Kun looked at the moon in the sky in a daze.
"Thinking about that girl Wu Liji again?"
"Uh, Elder, I'm not."
"Dan Kun, you have to understand that this world is very big and there are many women.
Although your talent and strength aren't top-notch, you're still one of the strongest Extraordinaires.
You have many, many opportunities. If you let go of your gray-robed identity, you can also have many, many women.
And Wu Liji is the princess of the royal family. There's an irreconcilable gap between the two of you.
Give up. This woman doesn't belong to you. "
Dan Kun remained silent. It was unknown if he had heard what the elder said.
He understood the logic, and he wasn't young anymore.
However, like many people, even if they had heard all kinds of logic, most people still couldn't live a good life.
Dan Kun was in such a state now. He felt that what he had done had let Wu Liji down.
However, he couldn't give up on his career.
This was an awkward and difficult situation.
"I understand, Elder. I'll take note."
After Dan Kun left, the elder standing behind him had a gloomy expression.
"He actually hesitated so much for a woman. I don't know what he's doing."
Dan Kun went outside alone with a phone in his hand, considering if he should call Wu Liji.
Regarding yesterday's matter, he wanted to properly explain.
Regardless of whether the explanation was useful or not, it was better to say it than not.
His relationship with Wu Liji was actually very close. The two of them were like siblings.
He knew that Wu Liji treated him as a companion to realize her dreams, but he had always admired her.
"Call her. At least don't make me regret it."
Just as Dan Kun took out his phone, it rang at the same time.
"Hello, Liji?"
"Where are you?"
"Are you here?"
"Yes, I just finished dealing with the club meeting. I've already arrived at Londo.
Where are you now? "
"I'll send you our current location."
"Okay."
The conversation between the two of them was very short. Dan Kun could hear the coldness in Wu Liji's tone.
However, his expectations for Wu Liji still made him ignore many details.
At this moment, the elder walked out.
"You gave the address to Wu Liji?"
"Yes, Elder. Is there a problem?"
Dan Kun cared a lot about Wu Liji, but he was not stupid. There must be a reason why the elder asked this at this time.
"How was her reaction?"
"Her reaction? A little cold and a little angry. "
The elder nodded. It was normal for Wu Liji to have such a reaction.
It would be strange if she was not angry after knowing what happened yesterday.
He indeed needed to ask Wu Liji about the Black Rattan.
Why was there no movement in the West District after more than a day?
As gray-robed men, they did not dare to go to Coal Capital now.
Zhang Zhangming was not to be trifled with.
Now that Wu Liji had come out, it was naturally the best way to obtain information.
"It's only right for her to be angry. Let her come over.
It just so happens that I have a lot of things to ask her. "
"Okay!"
On the other side, Wu Liji, who had put down the phone, took a deep breath and looked at Lü Luo.
"Is this okay?"
"Okay my ass. I told you so many details, but you didn't show any of them.
Acting is not how you act. "
"I'm a princess. I don't know how to act."
Wu Liji's expression was a little stiff. She had been in a bad mood for the past two days, and Lü Luo did not comfort her.
All kinds of troubles were stacked together, and she was about to explode.
How was it possible for her to act now?
"Do you know what will happen to you if they start to suspect you after you go there?
Abuse, humiliation, hostages.
As a princess, you will be the best weapon against the royal family.
Do you understand? "
Wu Liji hesitated for a moment. She also knew that Lü Luo was not scaring her.
At this moment, she gradually calmed down.
"I understand. I'll be careful after I go over.
I've been with them for a long time. I won't give myself away. "
"Hehe, many times, things are not as simple as you think. Woman, if their explanation convinces you, will you join the gray-robed men again?"
Lü Luo's question made Wu Liji hesitate.
She … hadn't left the gray-robed men yet!
"I don't know."
"Alright, you go over first. Be careful. I'll try my best to watch over you."
Wu Liji nodded and started heading towards the location Dan Kun sent.
With her current strength, this period of time would not take more than a few minutes. After arriving at the gray-robed men's secret stronghold.
Wu Liji saw Dan Kun at the edge of the pine forest.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"Yes, I'm waiting for you."
"Hehe, I didn't expect that in just 1-2 days, I'm already not worthy of being trusted?"
"Liji, don't say that. We're all clear about your contributions. But these are the rules set by the elders.
The gray-robed men's current assets can no longer withstand the torment. "
"Let's go. Bring me to see him."
Dan Kun nodded. He did not say a single word that he wanted to say to Wu Liji. He was indeed a person who was not good at expressing himself.
Putting on a hood for Wu Liji, covering her eyes and nose, he then brought her to the gray-robed men's secret stronghold.
When Wu Liji's hood was taken off, the gray-robed elder's scepter was directly pressed against her head.
He seemed to have foreseen the future and directly opened his mouth to say:
"You betrayed your ideals, Liji!"
