65: Chapter 66 Doubled Again

"Mr. Cai, I need your help with something."

Lu Chen spoke in a raspy voice.

Cai Jiguang's enthusiastic voice came from the other side.

"What kind of help? As long as I can assist Your Excellency, I am more than happy to do so."

Old Cai's tone was very eager.

Clearly.

He desperately wanted to maintain a good relationship with this mysterious power.

After all.

Possessing so many Soul Masters.

Meant immense strength and potential influence.

"I plan to send my subordinates to hunt in other nearby base cities."

Lu Chen explained.

"Can we carry out the transaction as we did before?"

Cai Jiguang did not hesitate for a second.

He said,

"Of course! Tell me which base cities you are all going to."

"Base Cities D-4, D-5, D-7, and D-8."

Lu Chen thought for a moment.

He selected several fortresses near Base City D-6.

"Good. I will immediately notify the local Alliance branches. Your people can move at any time."

"I happen to be the direct person in charge of those four base cities."

Cai Jiguang took full responsibility for the arrangements.

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone.

Lu Chen began the assignments.

He sent three Clones to Base City D-4.

Because that base city governed over 80 wilderness areas.

Among the five fortresses, it had the largest area.

And it was the base city with the most wilderness monsters.

As for Base Cities D-5, D-7, and D-8.

He sent two Clones to each.

Finally, he left one Clone in D-6 Base City.

Its strength was only about 5% of the main body.

Acting as an asset manager.

"It would be great if I knew a Transformation Technique."

Lu Chen muttered to himself.

"Then I wouldn't have to be fully armed and conspicuous all the time... perhaps I can find such an Elemental Skill when I get to A-1 Base City."

Soon after, he left the wilderness.

He returned to the city.

Suddenly, he remembered.

He had told his parents.

That he would only be back in three days.

"If I go back now, wouldn't that be... impossible to explain."

Lu Chen felt a bit awkward.

So he didn't go home.

Instead, he booked a presidential suite at a luxury hotel.

However.

Before heading to the hotel.

Lu Chen first bought some clothes.

His clothes had all been destroyed in battle.

Walking around in elemental armor was too inconvenient.

He subsequently bought a set of clean, stylish casual wear.

Then he headed to the hotel.

This was the top hotel in the city.

The lobby was spacious and polished.

A young receptionist stood behind the counter.

At this moment.

Her attention was entirely on her phone.

When she heard footsteps.

She looked up somewhat absentmindedly.

Lu Chen was about to ask her for a room.

That was when the girl looked up at the guest.

But the moment her gaze fell upon Lu Chen.

Her heart skipped a beat.

The man before her was not only handsome.

But his attire was very unique.

A suit of purple armor clung tightly to his tall, perfect physique.

Making him look like a God of War stepped out of the heavens.

She blinked her eyes.

However.

This man seemed a bit familiar.

Had she seen him somewhere before?

"Wait... is that Lu Chen?! The Lu Chen from TV?!"

"No... he looks even more handsome than on TV... he seems a bit different too... could it be a different person?"

She couldn't help but feel hesitant.

At that moment—

Knock, knock, knock.

Lu Chen tapped his fingers on the counter.

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

She stood up abruptly.

"Here is your room card!"

As she spoke.

She handed over the room card with both hands in fear and trepidation.

"I will take you to your room..."

"No need."

Lu Chen interrupted her.

He said directly,

"Just point me in the right direction."

Her expression was clearly disappointed.

But she still nodded quickly.

Showing him the way.

When Lu Chen turned to leave.

He casually gave her a tip.

8,000 yuan.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

This was as much as her monthly salary.

"Mr. Lu is... so generous."

Her heart throbbed.

She couldn't help but daydream.

"If..."

But she quickly suppressed her thoughts.

She could see the indifference in the other's eyes when he looked at her.

There was no other meaning.

Moreover.

Everyone knew he had a girlfriend.

That day, he had mobilized the entire power of the Alliance just for her.

Lu Chen walked into the suite.

He took a shower.

Changed into clean clothes.

And ordered food.

Room service arrived quickly.

Charcoal-grilled Golden Piglet Beast leg, sprinkled with red chili spices, tender and spicy.

Eight-Treasure Luoqi Beast liver, served with herbs and sweet vinegar.

And Energy Rice.

Each grain of rice contained rich cosmic energy.

It could even help a D-rank Warrior quickly recover their Spiritual Vein.

Soul-Spirit Fruit juice, sweet, thick, and rich in nutrients, could even bolster Mental Energy.

As he prepared to eat.

He thought for a moment.

And first dialed Luo Nianwei's number.

It was already past 11 PM.

Any later would be inappropriate.

Luo Nianwei sat at her desk.

Surrounded by thick books.

She was preparing for the upcoming cultural exams.

Just then, her phone lit up.

Displaying Lu Chen's name.

Her heart rate suddenly accelerated.

Her face radiated a special glow.

She took a deep breath.

And answered the call.

"Nianwei! How was your day?"

A familiar voice came from the other side.

"Very good," she said softly, "How about you?"

"I'm good too. Are you free tomorrow?"

Luo Nianwei's eyes blinked.

Her heart throbbed uncontrollably.

Was it what she thought it was?

"No, I don't have anything important."

"Then would you like to go out with me?"

He was as direct as ever.

Her cheeks flushed red.

But she still tried to maintain a calm voice.

"Of course. Do you have any plans?"

"No. Let's just go with the flow. How about we just see where we end up?"

"Okay, I like that," she smiled, "Then come pick me up at home tomorrow."

"Okay."

Lu Chen hung up the phone.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

The food was delicious.

He finished it quickly.

Afterward.

Lu Chen went straight to bed to sleep.

...

Early the next morning.

Lu Chen woke up early.

Sunlight spilled in through the curtains.

He opened his panel.
