240: To win over, a sugar-coated bullet.

It turned out there was no Devil Head, no Han Yan at all.

Everything was just a scam, a self-directed and self-acted trick by a certain sly old fox.

Half an hour ago.

Lu Yuchen was watching the brutal battle below, contemplating whether to take Lin Rourou as his disciple.

“Ding, the System recommends the Host to take a disciple.”

“I also think it’s a good idea to take her.”

“Wait a minute.”

...

Lu Yuchen snapped back to reality in an instant. Did the System just speak?

“System?” Lu Yuchen asked tentatively.

“Ding, does the Host have any questions?”

This time, Lu Yuchen didn't answer. He was very calm, with no expression on his face.

Ten seconds later...

“I’ll f*** your f***.”

“Where the f*** did you go, you f***ing f***?”

“F*** your f***, you f***ing f***.”

His words were very polite, truly worthy of a good youth who had received nine years of compulsory education.

The System then explained that it had been forced into dormancy due to unknown energy interference and had only just awakened today.

Lu Yuchen remained relentless, essentially trying to extort it.

Seeing that extortion wouldn’t work, Lu Yuchen changed the subject, asking if the System had just recommended him to take a disciple?

“Ding, yes, this planet has experienced a Spiritual Qi resurgence due to unknown factors. In the Early Stage of the world's revival, all those who can become extraordinary beings are Prodigies with great Luck and great talent. They would be protagonists no matter which world they were thrown into.”

The System displayed Lin Rourou’s panel.

[Name: Lin Rourou]

[Physique: Ghost Physique]

[Talent: Prodigy]

[Luck: Red]

“Good heavens, it’s true.”

“No, this isn't my fault. It was clearly you who ran off and couldn't be found before, otherwise I would definitely have called you to check!”

“Ding, the Host seems to have forgotten that he possesses a Qi Observation Technique.”

“Lu Xiaoya is really something, how can she use a sword like that? Don’t you agree?” “Ding...”

“Stop dinging. You can go back to sleep.”

Lu Yuchen decided not to dwell on the issue. He had already decided to take Lin Rourou as a disciple.

After some thought, he devised a plan he considered flawless!

He performed the One Qi Transforms Three Purities technique.

A Clone appeared before his eyes.

“Let’s change it to the appearance I used to trick Xun Nanleng.”

After a series of manipulations, an old Devil Head, Han Yan, overflowing with Devilish Qi, appeared.

Then came the incident where Lu Yuchen subsequently entered the scene to show off and battle the Devil Head.

...

At this moment, Han Yan (Clone) dared not be careless and likewise displayed his phenomenon.

“Nine Nether Spear of Death!” This was obtained from the hundredfold return of Xun Nanleng’s Purple Mansion phenomenon, the Spear of Death.

The phantom of the Nine Nether Spear of Death spanned the sky, its deathly aura seemingly capable of freezing the entire firmament.

The spearhead pointed directly at the several phenomena behind Lu Yuchen, subtly appearing to contend with them (it was an act).

Everyone present felt as if they were suffocating, only able to stare dumbfounded at the scene before them, like a battle between immortals.

“Pfft—!”

Lu Yuchen’s figure suddenly retreated.

He clutched his chest with one hand, his face now etched with “weakness.”

“Old injury... has relapsed...”

“Hahahahaha!”

From within the black mist, “Han Yan’s” wildly arrogant laughter echoed through the sky.

“Lu Yuchen! Today, you are lucky to be alive! We shall meet again!”

As soon as his voice fell, the swirling black mist, carrying Lin Rourou from the ground, transformed into a streak of light and fled towards the horizon.

Its speed was as swift as lightning, disappearing from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.

...

The black mist slowly dissipated.

Sunlight once again shone down.

But the sports field was already a mess.

Everyone looked at the widespread devastation and the lingering scent of blood in the air, their faces pale, their legs weak. Many even collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath.

That scene earlier was simply an indescribable nightmare for them, ordinary people living in an era of peace.

“Uncle! Are you okay?!”

Lu Xiaoya was the first to react, scrambling to Lu Yuchen’s side, her small face filled with worry.

“Cough, cough... I’m fine.” Lu Yuchen waved his hand and “weakly” coughed twice, appearing as realistic as could be.

In his heart, however, he was already overjoyed.

“Hehe, with my acting skills, it’s a waste not to win an Oscar.”

“Captain Xia.” He turned his head to look at Xia Wanqing, who also wore a grave expression and was walking quickly towards him, “This place, I’ll leave it to you to clean up.”

With that, he pulled the still somewhat dazed Lu Xiaoya, and with a flicker of his figure, he disappeared from everyone’s sight in a few leaps.

Xia Wanqing looked at the departing figure, like an immortal, and then at the sports field before her, which looked as if it had been ploughed by missiles. She felt a headache coming on.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the tumultuous waves in her heart, and sternly shouted at the equally stunned team members behind her:

“What are you still standing there for?!”

“Seal off the scene! Evacuate the crowd! Report to headquarters!”

...

A quarter of an hour later.

The entire university was completely sealed off by an invisible force.

Countless mysterious personnel in black uniforms, with solemn expressions, swarmed in like a tide.

All teachers and students present, no matter who you were or what your background, were brought under control.

Phones, confiscated!

Computers, confiscated!

Anything with a camera function, even children’s watches, none were spared, all confiscated!

Immediately after, thick stacks of “confidentiality agreements,” filled with legal jargon, were placed before everyone.

Sign!

Must sign!

Not signing?

Heh heh.

In a corner, a few rebellious troublemakers who didn’t believe in evil were about to shout something about “human rights” and “freedom.”

However, before they could even finish their words, they were dragged away by several expressionless men in black.

At this, no one dared to raise any further objections.

One by one, they obediently lined up and signed the agreement.

Although their hearts were filled with resentment and anger, they ultimately dared not speak out.

After all, compared to their lives, what was that so-called “right to know” worth?

...

At the same time.

Lu Family Villa.

When Lu Yuchen returned home with Lu Xiaoya, the living room was already full of people.

Besides his parents and elder brother, there were also a few uninvited guests.

Leading them was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black leather jacket.

“Lu Yuchen, Lu Xiaoya, you’re back.”

“Mm.” Lu Yuchen nodded, sat directly opposite the official bigwigs, crossed his legs, and wore an innocent smile.

“Gentlemen, what brings you here?”

The middle-aged man at the head looked at the young man before him, who appeared to be only in his early twenties but seemed to control everything. His heart was filled with complex emotions.

He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

“Mr. Lu, the country would like to invite you to join us.”

“Not interested.” Lu Yuchen refused without even thinking.

Are you kidding? Work for you? What would I gain? The delicious food in your cafeteria?

The middle-aged man seemed to have anticipated this outcome and showed no surprise.

He pondered for a moment and continued, “Mr. Lu, please rest assured, we are not trying to restrict your freedom. It’s just... this world is undergoing sudden changes, and we mortals are truly... powerless.”

“The country hopes to receive your help in times of crisis. Of course, we will not ask for your assistance for free.”

Saying that, he took out several documents from his embrace and pushed them over.

“A penthouse duplex in Tomson Riviera, Magic City.”

“An anonymous black card from a Swiss bank, with an unlimited credit limit.”

“Additionally, your niece, Lu Xiaoya, can be directly admitted to Peking University, choose any major, and enjoy the Advanced scholarship treatment.”

“As long as Mr. Lu agrees, all of this will be yours immediately.”

Sugar-coated bullets!

Naked sugar-coated bullets!
