Xu Hao was grappling with a bag brimming with money. Lu Yu, upon seeing this, squinted his eyes and concentrated his gaze on Xu Hao.
His confidence in identifying the correct individual stemmed from a character card provided by the system, which emitted a soft glow when it was in proximity to the target person.
As a result, Lu Yu was certain that the Xu Hao standing before him was the same Xu Hao from the storyline.
In his previous life, Lu Yu had been a salesman, giving him some skill in reading people. Despite Xu Hao's obstinacy, his reddened face, resolute eyes, and a touch of anxiety clearly indicated that he felt he was being treated unfairly.
Could it be possible that he was telling the truth?
Was this sword truly a magical weapon?
Lu Yu was perplexed.
However, at that moment, he had no other option but to decide to trust the other person. After pondering for a moment, Lu Yu inhaled deeply and said,
"Is that so?
Fine, I'll trust you this time, but…you'd better not let me discover that you've deceived me, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Don't worry, how could I lie to you!"
Seeing that Lu Yu had no intention of backing down, Xu Hao quickly agreed with a bright smile.
"Ding Feng, let's go!"
As he watched Lu Yu's retreating figure, Xu Hao found himself filled with doubts. He couldn't comprehend why the other party was willing to pay 200,000 Yuan to purchase his broken sword.
Could it be possible that his broken sword was actually a priceless antique?
However, as soon as he saw the bundles of red bills in his bag, he immediately dismissed these doubts.
The sword, which he had specifically sought out earlier, was not an antique at all. He didn't even know what material it was made of. And even if it were an antique, the country did not permit the sale of such antiques.
So now that he could sell it for 200,000 Yuan, what else did he have to worry about?
As for Lu Yu's harsh words that his life would be worse than death, he simply thought the other party was bluffing.
In today's lawful society, could he still kill him?
So, Xu Hao was content with the money.
On the other side,
Lu Yu returned to the hotel with the sword. He studied it carefully. This sword was not described in detail in the plot. So, Lu Yu didn't know what it was called.
He only knew that the total length of the sword was about 109cm, the handle length was 25cm, the blade length was 78cm, the blade width was 3.6cm, and the blade thickness was 1cm!
The weight was about 1.7kg without the sheath and about 2.7kg with the sheath!
Whether it was the blade or the scabbard, both were severely oxidized and rusted.
"Could it be that this thing can only be activated after the end of the world?"
Lu Yu frowned, thinking it was very possible. After all, in Chu Feng's plot, this sword belongs to the mutant weapon after the end of the world.
Only when the end times come, can people and things in the whole world change. Thinking of this, Lu Yu was not too anxious, anyway, he could see the results in two days. He found a place to hide the long sword.
Ding !
The WeChat bell rang suddenly. Lu Yu took out his mobile phone and saw that it was sent by Qiao Manli.
"Master Lu, let me confirm with you again, is it tomorrow night, the Heaton Hotel?"
Seeing the text message, Lu Yu smiled slightly.
"Good!"
There are less than two days until the end of the world. After Lu Yu resolved Wei Jianjun and Xu Hao's affairs, Yan Yun was the only person to deal with.
Yan Yun, the school flower of Yancheng University. She is 165 cm tall, has a curvaceous figure, and looks pure.
She is the object of most boys' fantasies. With such a figure and appearance, in a peaceful world, it is definitely a positive benefit.
Whether working or marrying, they have more choices than ordinary girls. But in the apocalypse, she is definitely a disaster for herself and people around her. wherever she goes, she will be targeted by others.
In the present context, Yan Yun appears to be devoid of any ulterior motives. More specifically, when interacting with Qiao Manli, she seems to be completely transparent and straightforward.
When Qiao Manli extended an invitation for dinner, Yan Yun accepted it without much contemplation.
This can be attributed to the strong bond they share, which is characterized by mutual respect and understanding.
However, amidst their seemingly ordinary interaction, a sense of urgency looms in the background.
The countdown to a cataclysmic event, the end of the world, is ticking away, with only 11 hours and 28 minutes remaining.
9:32 PM.
"Master Lu, proceeding with this could lead to complications," Xue Li, who had assisted Wei Jianjun in relocating his residence, felt compelled to caution him during their journey to the hotel.
After all, in his perspective, isn't there a multitude of women that his affluent young master could attract without resorting to such illicit tactics?
"Complication?
What complication?"
Lu Yu, while glancing at the doomsday countdown, responded nonchalantly,
"I'll bear the consequences if anything goes awry…"
Upon uttering these words, he promptly swung open the door to the private room.
Xue Li intended to dissuade Lu Yu further, but observing Lu Yu's resolute determination, he found himself at a loss for words!
He had no choice but to halt and position himself at the entrance of the private room.
Inside the hotel restaurant's private room, along with Qiao Manli and Yan Yun, there were five girls in total.
At that moment, they were engaged in ceaseless chatter. The moment Lu Yu entered, a couple of eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"Master Lu?"
"Ha ha!"
"Manli said there was a mysterious guest today, and I've been guessing who it is!
So it's you?"
"Hello!"
Lu Yu smiled slightly, and after sitting down, he looked at Yan Yun next to him. I have to say, this girl is really good looking. She had a white hairpin on her long smooth black hair.
A tight white t-shirt and a pleated skirt make her whole person full of youthful and lively atmosphere.
"Hey, Young Master Lu, it's somewhat improper to fixate on Yan Yun the moment you arrive, don't you think?"
We're here to enjoy a meal and have a good time, not to witness public displays of affection.
Can't you save the sweet moments for when you two are alone at home?"
The girls from the dance department, known for their lively nature, couldn't resist teasing Lu Yu and Yan Yun about their relationship.
As expected, the supporting characters believe that Lu Yu and Yan Yun make an ideal couple, but the heroine can't possibly fall for the antagonist!
Understanding this, Lu Yu, upon noticing Yan Yun's slight discomfort from the crowd's teasing, quickly intervened to ease the situation.
"Let's not jump to conclusions. Yan Yun and I aren't even close friends at the moment."
.......
"Enough!"
"Alright, let's focus on ordering our food!"
Unable to bear her companions' relentless teasing, Yan Yun swiftly redirected the conversation.
It was evening, and everyone was having supper. The focus was more on drinks than food. Since everyone was a student and had to attend self-study the next day, alcohol was naturally off the table.
However, this wasn't a problem for Lu Yu.
When Xue Li, and the waiter, brought in a variety of juices, Lu Yu requested a bottle of red wine.
Romanee-Conti!
He took it and opened it immediately. Such an expensive bottle of red wine, costing tens of thousands of Yuan, is something ordinary people can't afford. It was ordered and served in the private room.
To avoid wasting such pricey wine, everyone had a bit of it, each pouring a small glass. It was just a small cup, so it wouldn't cause any harm. This was the consensus among everyone, including Qiao Manli, a few other girls, and even Yan Yun.
However, this small cup made everyone feel slightly dizzy. Yan Yun, being more cautious, drank less. The other girls, without any reservations, had a couple more glasses.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone went their separate ways.
Since the girls were only slightly dizzy, no one took it seriously. Under Lu Yu's arrangements, Ding Feng drove the other three back to school. Qiao Manli accompanied Yan Yun in Lu Yu's Bentley, with Lu Yu in the passenger seat.
"If you're tired, take a rest.
I'll wake you up when we reach school," Xue Li, who was driving, casually suggested.
At this point, Yan Yun was already struggling to keep her eyes open. Although she had some doubts, she didn't overthink it since Qiao Manli was with her.
Once in the car, she leaned on Qiao Manli and closed her eyes to rest.
However, the experienced Qiao Manli sensed something was amiss. She glanced at Yan Yun, who was leaning on her shoulder in a drunken state, and then at Lu Yu in the co-pilot seat.
She found herself pondering, "Does a high-priced red wine typically have such a potent inebriating influence, Young Master Lu?"
Lu Yu, with an air of indifference, responded, "It could be that it's your inaugural experience with it, and your system is yet to acclimate."
Qiao Manli was skeptical of Lu Yu's justification, but given Yan Yun's presence, she restrained herself from expressing her doubts outright.
Feeling the need to act, Qiao Manli picked up her phone and sent a message to Lu Yu, accusing him of spiking Yan Yun's wine.
She questioned him, expressing her concerns about the potential legal repercussions if Yan Yun were to report this to the police.
Lu Yu responded ambiguously, neither admitting nor denying her accusation. He assured her that she wouldn't be implicated and that it wouldn't affect her in any way.
Before Qiao Manli could finish typing her response, she was taken by surprise.
Lu Yu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, had just handed her a bank card.
A message appeared on her mobile phone. It read,
"This bank card contains 1 million Yuan.
The password is 6969." (^///^)
This unexpected development left Qiao Manli stunned.
