Chapter 869: Greed Takes Over
Lu Lu'er's wickedness is the kind that is straightforward and ruthless. She doesn't care how skilled you are at flirting; she'll just use her fists to beat people up.
After being punished, Han Yue, with a bloody nose, ran to Jiang Chu to complain. As a result, Jiang Chu was kicked by Lu Lu'er and couldn't get up for a long time while clutching his stomach.
In front of Jiang Yi, Lu Lu'er squatted down and slapped Jiang Chu's face repeatedly. "Kid, remember this: from now on, I'm your big sister. If you don't like it, I'll beat you up until you submit!"
Jiang Yi didn't say anything on the surface, but his expression was rather unpleasant.
Seeing this, Chen Futu said, "Uncle Jiang, it's not appropriate for us to live together any longer. Let's go find a place to live and leave together."
"No way, Xiao Chen, it's no big deal to beat this troublesome guy. I don't care at all. If you don't like him, you can beat him up too."
"There's no reason for guests to harass the host. We'll just stay nearby and contact each other via the channel if anything happens. I've also left some food in the room, enough for the next while."
After saying that, Chen Futu led Xiaoman, Luluer, and the Three Corpses out of the Jiang family.
Jiang Yi was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh.
The reason he stayed instead of migrating with the Azure Guard was that he felt Xiao Chen was no ordinary person and he wanted to change his way of life to help Xiao Chen. But this unfilial son ruined everything. Fortunately, they haven't broken off relations yet, otherwise, how could his family of three have survived?
Chen Futu naturally valued Jiang Yi, so this relationship needed to be maintained. However, it was best for Jiang Yi to handle some matters himself. If Jiang Yi couldn't handle them, Chen Futu would secretly resolve them for him on the day he left.
When they were young, Chen Futu used the system to scan and set up a villa somewhere. Then he had the evil corpse turn into black wind to clear a path, and the group moved in.
After entering the villa, Chen Futu collected the three corpses.
The three corpses would be out for too long, which would deplete his mental energy. Although his mental energy had been amplified by Lady Pingxin and Starlight, it wouldn't last long. If the three of them went out together, it would only last for a maximum of three hours.
"Home is still the most comfortable place—"
Lu Luer entered the villa and felt the warmth. She felt completely alive again and threw off her heavy winter clothes, leaving only sexy lingerie covering her exquisite, snow-white body.
Xiaoman was the same; she happily took off her heavy clothes and pulled Luluer to take a hot bath.
As Lu Lu'er left, she blew Chen Futu a kiss and said with a grin, "Old Chen, want to have some fun and cool off?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid I'll be even more tired."
Chen Futu snorted and didn't fall for her trick.
She's a heartless, sly fox. If you really fall into her hands, you'll be completely drained.
"Tch, this is so boring. Why bother with all that stuff in the apocalypse? Just have fun."
After saying that, Lu Lu'er pulled Qin Xiaoman into the bathroom. Soon the bathroom was filled with the sounds of girls laughing and playing, which made Chen Futu a little distracted, but he eventually managed to stay calm.
Ling'er is so grown up now, her father can't be messing around outside.
Chen Futu also took a bath, then asked the system if there were any improvements, as he would be helping the two women advance in their next stage.
"The system has improved the advancement method. Next, the host can purchase bone fragments from the system shop to directly advance the two characters and allow them to fuse on their own with a 100% success rate."
"So expensive?"
The bone fragments sold in the system store are graded, distinguished by the color emitted by the bone fragments. There are four grades: white, blue, purple, and gold. White is the cheapest, costing 10,000 crystal cores per piece, while gold is the most expensive, costing one million crystal cores per piece.
"System, what level of bone fragment do I have?"
"It transcends the realm of gold. Bone fragments are related to later growth. The higher the level of the bone fragment, the more light points it contains, and the stronger the attributes and skills brought when the light points are activated."
"I see. Then let's go for the million-dollar one."
Chen Futu was certain that Qin Xiaoman and Lu Luer were reliable. They were staunch allies who would never betray him, or rather, they were his private women. If he wanted them, they would have no objections and might even throw themselves at him.
This most loyal woman must lay a solid foundation for the highest level of bone structure.
However, obtaining crystal cores is not so easy; we need to think carefully about how to obtain them.
A moment later, Chen Futu had a sudden inspiration.
Before the Azure Guard has completely moved away, negotiate a deal with them and exchange supplies for enough crystal cores.
In the evening, Chen Futu chatted with Jiang Yi through the friends channel, hoping that he would act as the middleman.
Jiang Yi knew Chen Futu's secret and agreed without hesitation. Moreover, he was certain that the Tianqing Guard was short of supplies and would definitely exchange them.
So Chen Futu found an empty warehouse and stored a large amount of supplies there. As expected, the Tianqing Guard readily agreed, and Ge Dali came to make the deal.
He looked at the food piled up in almost half the warehouse with great excitement, and patted Chen Futu's shoulder loudly, "Good job, brother, you've got some skills. I didn't even ask where these supplies came from. Don't forget about us if you have any more supplies in the future."
Boxes of crystal cores, both low-grade and high-grade, were unloaded from the heavy truck, and Chen Futu accepted them all.
After the transaction was completed, all the supplies in the warehouse were transported away, and it was clear that the Sky Guard left in a hurry.
Chen Futu asked curiously, "Did something happen? Why did they leave so quickly?"
Jiang Yi said with a wry smile, "I suspect they may have discovered that this snowstorm is targeting Tianqing City, and they are worried that there are high-level mutants lurking in the shadows, and if they don't leave now, they won't be able to leave."
"I see. If it really is being targeted, then this mutant must be of a very high level."
Chen Futu was careful and knew he had to quickly raise Xiaoman and Lu'er to the fourth rank.
After Jiang Yi left, Chen Futu stored the crystal cores in the system space. The system automatically provided a figure, equivalent to three million first-order crystal cores.
"That's enough. Give me two more golden bone fragments."
"Exchange successful."
Two bone fragments fell into Chen Futu's hands, one mainly for lightning and the other mainly for healing.
Chen Futu's bone fragment is different; once lit up with starlight, it may awaken any ability without restriction, and it also adds more attributes.
Over the next three days, Qin Xiaoman and Lu Lu'er were indeed pushed to the fourth level by the wealthy and powerful.
Only someone as extravagant and inhumane as Chen Futu could rise to such a position; no one else would have been willing to use golden bone fragments to lay the foundation for someone else.
In this way, the two women's basic combat strength upon entering the fourth tier far exceeds that of ordinary people, but Qin Xiaoman is a healer and is not suitable for combat.
“Brother Chen, I’ve seen someone loitering around your place these past two days, and it seems like they’re up to no good.”
Hongjie sent him a private message. Chen Futu frowned, added her as a friend, and inquired about the details.
Hongjie was overjoyed to find that she had a friend on her friend list, and then explained the recent situation in detail.
She suspected that the Sky Blue Guards were secretly monitoring them, and that some high-ranking members were planning to make a risk-free profit by stealing supplies. Although they had changed their clothes, their demeanor was definitely that of Sky Blue Guards members.
"As expected, I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
As the saying goes, one should not flaunt one's wealth.
Chen Futu's previous transaction with Ge Dali was too high-profile and attracted the attention of people with ulterior motives.
It doesn't matter, just kill them!
