Lu Yu was taken aback when he examined the sword's features. The green sword was a common sight for many, but Lu Yu, with his deep understanding of history, recognized that this sword played a crucial role in the narrative of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The author had deliberately designed this weapon to highlight Zhao Yun's bravery. In the context of actual history, the existence of this sword is likely a myth.
However, the current situation was that Lu Yu had acquired the Qingshou sword from a thug named Xu Hao for 200,000 yuan. It was a hard-to-believe scenario. But Lu Yu didn't have the luxury of time to ponder over this. With the apocalypse looming, who had the time to worry about historical accuracy?
[Weapon Type: Sword. ]
[Weapon Name: Qingshou Sword]
[Weapon grade: black iron (energy value 0/10)]
[This sword is the saber used by Cao Cao in the legendary Three Kingdoms period. Cao Cao has two swords: one is 'Yi Tian' and the other is 'Qing Su'; they are also called peerless double swords. The Yitian sword was worn by himself, and the Qingshou sword was given to Xiahou En, and was later taken away by Zhao Yun at Changbanpo...]
[Note: The cosmic storm has swept through every inch of the earth. Unknown energy has given the planet a new life. Some special items will be endowed with some magical abilities. By making good use of these special items, you may live a better life than others. it is good. ]
Brushing these thoughts aside, Lu Yu turned his attention to the attribute of 'weapon grade'. He pondered, "Is the Qingshou sword merely a black iron weapon?" In these end times, weapons were ranked similarly to people, categorized into black iron, bronze, and silver grades.
There were no primary, intermediate, and advanced weapons. Black iron was simply black iron, and silver was just silver. But considering the plot setting, shouldn't this sword be extraordinary? Why was it categorized as black iron?
However, the energy value of 0/10 behind the weapon grade indicated that this sword had the potential to be upgraded. The method of upgrade was not specified. But based on Lu Yu's extensive experience with online games, he could guess that the weapon could be upgraded either by crafting it at a foundry, killing monsters to gain energy, or using the crystal core mentioned in the previous system.
Regardless, this weapon wouldn't transform into an artifact without reason.
With this thought in mind, Lu Yu devised a plan. As he prepared to leave with his long sword, Yan Yun, who was still upset about the previous night's events, quickly stopped him. Despite her resentment towards Lu Yu, the terrifying apocalypse outside left her no time to dwell on it.
When Lu Yu mentioned his intention to clean the corridor, Yan Yun realized that the corridor outside was not peaceful. The sounds of screams, exclamations, and running were audible.
However, Yan Yun was more terrified of the monsters than her hatred for Lu Yu. With the chaos outside and her phone's screen going black, she couldn't call the police. The only person she could rely on was Lu Yu. She pleaded with Lu Yu not to leave.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was momentarily stunned. A wicked smile appeared on his face as he stopped and turned to look at Yan Yun. He said, "Haha! If you call me husband, I won't leave."
Yan Yun firmly refused to call him her husband. She was still upset about how Lu Yu had taken advantage of her the previous night. She hadn't even confronted him about it, and now he was threatening her to call him her husband. She wouldn't even consider it. Lu Yu didn't seem to care either and just turned around to leave.
As Yan Yun was about to say something, there was a commotion outside the door. Two lizardmen had climbed in through the window of a guest room against the wall.
A couple who were sleeping soundly in the room were immediately awakened. The man reacted instantly, resisted a little, and realized that something was wrong.
The window was full of monsters. Noticing this, he didn't hesitate, grabbed his clothes, and ran out. The woman tried to ask for help, but her boyfriend kicked her in the face without a second thought.
The man seemed to be frightened by the monsters. At this moment, he couldn't maintain his sanity. What was a woman to him?
If his life was at stake, love did not matter?
Preserving his own life was the most important thing. So, he kicked the woman several times, broke free from her, and ran out of the door without looking back. The woman was left behind, and her screams soon echoed from the room.
Hearing the commotion outside the door, Yan Yun was on the verge of tears. She pleaded with Lu Yu not to leave, promising not to pursue what happened the previous night. In school, Lu Yu had pursued her. He had come to this university because he was attracted to her during the winter vacation in the Magic Capital. But she had no interest in a playboy like Lu Yu.
So, she had rejected Lu Yu's pursuit. She was completely unwilling. But now…
Lu Yu asked her if she would dare to be the first to rush out to the police if order was restored outside. Yan Yun quickly swore that she wouldn't.
The situation outside scared her. If Lu Yu never returned, she didn't know what she would do next. She couldn't even think about it. So, at this time, nothing was important. The most important thing was to convince Lu Yu to stay.
Seeing Yan Yun's nervous and scared expression, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. He said, "Although I don't believe what you said, I know you must have many questions to ask me!" He added, "Some things, I also need to tell you clearly!" With that,
Lu Yu sat back by the bed and stared at Yan Yun. He said, "While it's still safe here, tell me, what questions do you want to ask?"
After all, Yan Yun had the attributes of a heroine, and she didn't just know how to cry like other women. Seeing that the streets outside were getting more and more chaotic, she forced herself to calm down. She didn't hesitate much and directly asked the doubts in her heart.
"Did you know these monsters were coming?"
She asked. Lu Yu replied that he knew something. When asked how he knew, he lied that he had awakened a predictive ability. Yan Yun asked if he really had the ability to predict, to which he replied,
"Can this be faked?"
She then wanted to know where these monsters came from and if they would really bring about the end of the world. Lu Yu said he didn't know where they came from, but he was sure that this would indeed be the end.
Upon receiving affirmation from Lu Yu, a wave of inexplicable sorrow washed over Yan Yun. However, she persisted with her line of questioning.
"Even if what you're saying is true, how does it justify your actions towards me?" she asked. Lu Yu, continuing his deception, responded, "My actions last night were driven by the need for survival."
When Yan Yun questioned whether his life was at stake if he didn't act, Lu Yu deflected the question. Instead, he asked, "You felt the chill earlier, didn't you?" Yan Yun, recalling the icy sensation that had gripped her, nodded in agreement. Lu Yu then began to weave a tale,
"In the aftermath of the world's end, some humans will awaken supernatural abilities." He further added, "I predict that I have the potential to awaken such powers, but it requires a woman with a unique constitution…"
Before Lu Yu could finish his explanation, Yan Yun anticipated his conclusion.
"Are you implying that I am this woman with the unique constitution?" she asked. Lu Yu responded,
"You're not wrong!" Just as Yan Yun was about to confront Lu Yu, he interrupted her with a question, "Would you have agreed if I had pursued you in a conventional manner?
" Yan Yun clenched her teeth in response.
Disregarding her reaction, Lu Yu rose to his feet and instructed, "Stay in this room for now, it's safe here. I have to step out for a bit." He added, "And remember, do not open the door for anyone but me." Before Yan Yun could respond, Lu Yu had already made his way out of the room and closed the door behind.
