Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1409 - 1411: Just as Expected

Lu Xiaobu temporarily didn’t pay attention to the situation on the Grandmaster’s side, and instead, he had a hearty drink with Elder Yu.

While drinking, Elder Yu told him that it was very likely that someone above wanted to give him a military rank or something.

However, he didn’t say much, as he was soon interrupted by Mr. Wang.

These kinds of things are really not good to leak in advance!

"Alright, let’s not talk about that." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, "I plan to leave the Grandmaster to you guys to manage, what do you think?"

"Placing them at the base would be a bit safer, and it’s not too far from Shimen, so it’s easier."

"This..." Elder Yu put down his wine glass, his eyebrows jumping at Lu Xiaobu’s suggestion.

To be honest, he was quite interested in this proposal!

However, after thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "For now, you should still manage them! These people are used to being free, and suddenly having them adapt to base life might cause problems, which isn’t good for either them or the people at the base."

"Alright, it’s up to you." Lu Xiaobu nodded and didn’t say much.

"Are you planning to let the Grandmasters come into contact with the Five Elements Spiritual Items?" Elder Yu thought for a moment and asked.

Lu Xiaobu: "This is inevitable, but let’s pick a few people to try first. Once we have a handle on it, we’ll research the issue of large-scale opening."

Elder Yu: "There’s also the matter of the ’Martial Arts Rule the World’ plan, which has already begun. You should keep an eye on it. It really requires your presence."

Lu Xiaobu: "Okay, I’ll pay attention to it."

Elder Yu: "What’s the situation on Lin Feng’s end? I heard he developed a weapon that can deal with Grandmasters? How on earth did he achieve that?"

Lu Xiaobu: "I’m not sure about that either. Anyway, this guy’s methods are quite ruthless, and nothing he does surprises me!"

Elder Yu: "Forget it, there’s no way to study it further, as long as he doesn’t mess with our fellow citizens."

Lu Xiaobu: "There’s no need to worry about that; this guy still has his limits."

Elder Yu: "What do you think is the most likely result of the Five Elements Spiritual Items? Above is also speculating, but I’d like to hear your thoughts."

Lu Xiaobu: "Revival of Spiritual Energy."

"Revival of Spiritual Energy?! Like the revival of spiritual energy in novels?!" Elder Yu was really shocked, as he had never thought in this direction before.

After all, although the Five Elements Spiritual Items are powerful, he thought it hadn’t reached that level of situation!

"Because all Five Elements Spiritual Items generate energy out of thin air. If energy conservation is correct, it should logically be transforming from one type of energy to another, but the current situation is that energy is being generated from nowhere."

"So, a simple hypothesis: first, it is indeed generated from nothing, or rather, it consumes the Five Elements Spiritual Items themselves, but looking at the situation of the ancient tree in the Medicine King Valley, this possibility is not high!"

"The second hypothesis is that the energy is not generated from nothing, but is transmitted from somewhere we currently can’t understand."

"And, remember, when the Five Elements Spiritual Items are put together, it’s impossible to separate them, except, of course, for me."

"So a simple assumption: if left together indefinitely, could it fill the world with spiritual energy?" Lu Xiaobu spoke leisurely while drinking.

He actually quite enjoyed discussing these topics.

After all, haven’t you noticed?

Aren’t these exactly what Lu Xiaobu is doing to lift the veil of this world?!

"That would take a long time." Elder Yu thought about the speed of the previous release of spiritual energy and said.

"Yes, it would take a long time, but the final result is inevitable." Lu Xiaobu nodded, "Moreover, we also don’t know if, when spiritual energy becomes abundant, any special circumstances will occur again!"

"You’re right." Elder Yu nodded, quite in agreement.

Then he posed another question: "Should we stop exploring further, like some scientists suggest not responding to aliens!"

"It’s very difficult to keep humanity rational all the time." Lu Xiaobu smiled and borrowed a line from the Trisolaris on Earth: "There will always be people who are filled with curiosity about the unknown world! It’s unavoidable!"

"Besides, as I said, it’s just my conjecture. To us, it might seem that my guess is highly likely, but actually, as long as we haven’t seen the results, it’s like Xue Ding’er’s cat, everything remains unknown!"

"Indeed." Elder Yu smiled bitterly, as he actually understood this truth.

Humans are not creatures that follow the rules obediently.

If out of fear we don’t advance, perhaps humanity would still be living in the Stone Age now.

"Also, besides the revival of spiritual energy, I think a new existence might emerge." Lu Xiaobu lowered his voice, with a tone that sounded like telling a horror story.

"New existence?! Enemy?!" Elder Yu instinctively became nervous.

"Not necessarily an enemy, but the probability of being an enemy is not small." Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

"Sigh!" Elder Yu sighed deeply, "Your guesses are really terrifying, I’ll pass them on to the higher-ups. However, we can’t decide anything!"

"Exactly." Lu Xiaobu shrugged again, "I’ll just do what I want to do. As for the big picture, you guys can decide."

"Alright, let’s not talk about that, let’s drink." Elder Yu moved past the heavy topic and continued to drink.

As Lu Xiaobu said, they can’t decide the fate of this world.

No, not right, he can’t decide, but Lu Xiaobu actually can, he just chose a more relaxed method.

While they were drinking, Li Jin came in, wanting to say something but hesitated when he saw Elder Yu and Mr. Wang.

"Go ahead, no problem, there’s news from the Grandmaster’s side, right?" Lu Xiaobu nonchalantly said.

"Yes, three Grandmasters have defected." Li Jin nodded, "And they split into three groups, probably to confuse our view."

"I see." Lu Xiaobu nodded, "Just follow the arranged plan."

"Yes, Young Master." Li Jin nodded and withdrew.

"Grandmasters defected?!" Elder Yu asked a bit nervously.

Even though there is now battle power capable of confronting the Grandmasters, in actuality, tracking them is the hardest part.

With their strong abilities, if they hide anywhere, you can’t possibly search the whole Heavenly Dynasty!

If you encounter those with ruthless personalities, they might take excessive actions to threaten the pursuers, which isn’t impossible either.

"It’s alright, no need to worry." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said.

After saying that, he turned on the TV, "Just the entertainment to go with our drinks. It’s live."

Elder Yu immediately looked at the TV.

He really wanted to know if, without Lu Xiaobu showing up, they could actually catch the three Grandmasters.
