Chapter 256 - Why Was He Such A Bully?
Chapter 256: Why Was He Such A Bully?
At the Energy Warriors Association.
The vice president hurriedly sent someone to investigate.
He found out that many Energy Warriors redeemed four-star and five-star Energy Cards, and hence the Energy Cards inventory that was already low in stock was depleted!
How could that be possible?!
“Was it due to Lu Ming?”
The assistant thought about it. “With Lu Ming around, they felt slightly panicked. Therefore, everyone bought an Energy Card for backup, and hence the inventory was depleted.”
The vice president thought about it and found it plausible!
This was really…
He was between laughter and tears.
He did not expect that Lu Ming would have such an impact.
Forget it.
“Contact the Card Creators Association, see if we can purchase a batch in short notice,” the vice president said.
“The price…
“Raise it by 50%!” He said in a deep voice.
“But that would be close to the price sold outside.”
The assistant was worried.
Was it okay if the wholesale price was higher than the market price?
“This is just an exception.”
The vice president rubbed his head. “Contact them first. We still have to see if they are willing to sell them to us. After all, this is an urgent purchase.”
“Okay.”
The assistant hurried to make the arrangements.
“Wait a minute.
“I have a few close contacts at the Card Creators Association. Just say that this is my request.”
“Okay.”
…
At this very moment…
At the hall in the Energy Warrior Association.
“Anyone else?
“Friends!
“If you miss this chance, there will be no next time!
“This started because of me!
“How can I shirk from my responsibility?
“So… I will allow all of you to test the [Lu Ming Resistance Value] for free. All you need to do is to provide the corresponding energy! I will pay for the cards!
“I might not be rich, but I am willing to take responsibility!
“As long as you provide four-star Energy Cards, I will be able to cast the cards!
“All of you have only heard of this type of card, but you have not seen it for yourself or tested it for yourself. You will not have the chance to experience it in the future.
“Absolutely not!
“By then you all might be dead!
“I will give you the chance to experience it for yourself!
“I guess a lot of you have been using your own methods these few days to cultivate the corresponding abilities. In that case, are your abilities effective?!
“Do you want to try them out?
“Come on!
Let’s test first!
“You can experience the effects of the card!
“There is no danger involved!
“What’s that?
“Don’t miss this great chance!
“This is your only chance. After today, the next time you will get to see this kind of card again might be in a life and death situation…
“If so, good luck to you,” Lu Ming said while standing in the hall.
The Energy Warriors who crowded around him were tempted.
Yes!
Where else could they get such a good opportunity?!
Beside Lu Ming, no one would be foolish enough to let them conduct free testing as long as they provided the energy? After all, the card seemed to be very expensive!
And yet he allowed them to do free testing!
Where else could they find such a good Card Creator?!
It seemed that…
They had misunderstood Lu Ming!
Although the kid created this card accidentally while experimenting, he was kind-hearted, and his nature was as good as his looks!
“I’ll do it!”
“Me too!”
“Haha, my [Lu Ming Resistance Value] is sixty points. I can withstand it!”
“My [Lu Ming Resistance Value] is seventy eight points. Haha, it seems that it is effective.”
Some of them were excited.
“I only have forty nine points… fortunately this is merely testing, otherwise…”
“I only have twenty points! Thankfully Lu Ming threw the core back to me, otherwise I would be left with only one kidney…”
“I failed as well.”
Some people were depressed and relieved at the same time.
Yes.
They were thankful that Lu Ming allowed them to conduct testing. If it was in a life and death battle…
Just the thought of it made them feel frightened!
Hence…
They called their friends over.
Six-star, five-star and even four-star cultivators. For four-star cultivators, especially Energy Warriors, two four-star Energy Cards were very expensive!
However…
They would go all out for their future!
“I will redeem it with the points for this month!”
“Me too!”
“I will be able to accumulate enough task points in a month. But if I die, there will be no future for me.”
The four-star cultivators understood the seriousness of the matter.
Furthermore…
More and more cultivators were coming…
…
Lu Ming’s card bag was already packed with cards. He then simply used his backpack to store the cards. This was the first time that he had a taste of what it felt like to be baller!
Of course.
He told everyone that the energy that he had depleted previously came from the Charging Cards that he had prepared!
The Energy Warriors were very understanding.
He came prepared with a large amount of energy to enter the Illusory Realm. Right now, for their sake, he depleted all his energy into four-star cards!
That was why his backpack was filled with cards!
“I am glad all of you are very understanding.”
Lu Ming felt gratified.
Who said that Energy Warriors were grumpy big brothers?
Look.
They had good personalities…
It was a pity…
At this time of the day, there were not many people at the headquarters. There were also not that many people in the hall. Besides, the most important point was that toward the end, many cultivators were unable to provide him with Energy Cards.
Lu Ming was full of regrets about this.
The Energy Warriors were too poor.
…
But…
Just when he was about to conclude by saying that ‘his cards were depleted’, his wristband vibrated and he received an urgent task from the Card Creators Association!
——
Urgent task of creating Energy Cards!
Description: This is an urgent task. We are willing to provide rich rewards. For members of the Card Creators Association, you can exchange a lot of corresponding points with the cards.
Four-star cards, exchange of xx points at the association.
Five-star cards, exchange of xx points at the association.
…
Geographic restrictions: near the headquarters of the Energy Warrior Association.
Time limit: three hours.
Person in charge: Energy Warrior Association headquarter inventory manager.
——
Eh?!
Lu Ming was surprised to see this task!
This an emergency task and there would be amazing benefits. Under normal circumstances, points were considered very precious by the Card Creators Association!
Thinking of using money in exchange for points?
No way!
Because…
They did not lack money!
It was only when there was a special task where time was limited, that they would be able to exchange items for points! And given the time limit and location…
Many people would not have a chance to participate!
However…
Lu Ming was the most suitable candidate!
He happened to be at the Energy Warrior Association!
“I can’t believe I am so lucky!”
Lu Ming was overjoyed.
Lady Luck must be smiling on him. He was here for the day and he received such a task. Besides, he happened to have many Energy Cards…
Hence…
Lu Ming submitted the cards directly!
The timing was just right.
At this time, not many people were here to do testing. Lu Ming went to the inventory and handed in a large number of Energy Cards, in exchange for a lot of points!
Shush!
He had completed the urgent task of the association easily!
Done!
Lu Ming was very satisfied.
Right now, there were very few Energy Warriors who were interested in testing.
In that case…
It was about time to go to the Illusory Realm.
Well…
He went to the toilet and returned to the hall.
But…
When he returned to the hall, he noticed that there was a large number of Energy Warriors and everyone had two Energy Cards with them!
“Lu Ming, I am here for the testing.”
An Energy Warrior was elated.
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was confused. Why would more people come for testing?
There was no one there a couple seconds ago.
At this very moment…
There was also a murmur in the crowd.
“Brother, how come you have cards?”
“The inventory has been restocked!”
“Is this true or not?”
“Of course it is true. I just bought some.”
“Crap! I will get some now… Damn, I was too slow just now and the cards were sold out. Since when have Energy Warriors been this rich?”
“God knows.”
“Let’s go to buy some cards.”
Some Energy Warriors left.
As for Lu Ming, he started another round of testing happily.
Seriously…
People used to say that the Energy Warrior Association was poor…
He did not think so!
Look, his school bag was almost full within a short period of time!
…
At this very moment…
The vice president’s office.
“Thankfully I have some contacts.”
The vice president who had just resolved the energy crisis had yet to take a breather. He took the cup of hot tea and was about to take a sip of it when the assistant came in looking panicked.
“What is the matter?!” The vice president snarled.
“Something has happened!”
The assistant complained tearfully. “The inventory is empty again!”
The vice-principal was dumbstruck.
I-it is empty again??!
Damn, are you kidding me!
He heard that someone had replenished the inventory and it was back to where it used to be. In that case, why would it be empty again?
“Come! Let’s take a look.”
The vice president looked grave.
They checked who had bought the Energy Cards and discovered that they all came from…
The hall in the Energy Warrior Association!
What was happening?
The vice president hurried to the hall and saw a shocking scene.
…
In the hall.
Lu Ming was giving his speech.
“Anyone else?!
“Brother, don’t miss this great chance!
“This is your last chance!
“If you have sixty or more points, there is no need to worry!
“This is for those of you who want to have a superb performance, use the card to increase their ability, and counterattack!
“Some of you may think that I am the only one who has these cards and that there is no way for the cards to circulate!
“I find this way of thinking to be very funny.
“The reason why I can create cards in advance is because others did not think of it yet. This is simply creative progress! It is just like the solution…
“Why have the other cultivators that I have destroyed died?
“Because they never thought of this…
“With the solution, everything is much easier!
“But now…
“Even if the copyright of the card has yet to be shared, someone else will research this area, right? Therefore, we must have some foresight…
“Is there anyone else?
“This may be the last batch.”
Lu Ming was dedicated to helping the Energy Warriors test their cards.
One…
Two…
Some people gritted their teeth and tested.
…
The vice president was expressionless.
Oh.
It turned out that the cards were depleted right there…
Damn!
He knew that allowing Lu Ming to come was a bad decision!
Wait a minute…
He looked at Lu Ming’s school bag that was quickly filling up with cards and he came to his senses. “Check who submitted the Energy Cards to the inventory.”
After a long time…
The assistant came back. “It was Lu Ming.”
The vice president’s hands trembled slightly.
Damn, he was too much!
Therefore…
Lu Ming had already gotten many Energy Cards in the previous round. After which, he sold them to the Energy Warrior Association at a high price and used the same method to get more Energy Cards?!
This…
What did this mean?
Export domestic sales and then export domestic sales again?
Damn it!
He was such a bully!
They were already very poor, yet he did not feel embarrassed to do that?!
“This guy…”
The vice president gritted his teeth. “Throw him into the Illusory Realm as soon as possible. Get him to leave after the break through. He must not linger!”
“Okay.”
The assistant hurried to make the arrangements.
Hence…
Lu Ming who was testing the [Lu Ming Resistance Value] for everyone was brought away by the staff and thrown directly at the entrance to the Illusory Realm…
Huh?!
Lu Ming was in a daze. It was going to start soon?
“Rest over here. You can enter when everyone has arrived.”
The staff was expressionless.
“Rest?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
Given their energy level, why did they need to rest?
“Your reborn form in the Illusory Realm needs to be modeled after your Sea of Consciousness and mental strength.”
The staff looked solemn. “Therefore, we must ensure that one has a strong mental strength, and, for every rebirth, one needs to recover their mental strength before one can leave!”
“I see.”
Lu Ming understood right away.
In that case…
He would have a good rest.
It was just that…
It was a sheer pity.
He had yet to do tests with a few more brothers.
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
Hehe.
The staff looked at him and kept silent. If Lu Ming was allowed to continue with the testing, the vice president would make him suffer. Lu Ming was a trouble-maker!
…
After a long time…
Some cultivators arrived one after another. They were around sixteen to seventeen years old. All of them were peak three-stars!
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
“What has happened?”
“I have no idea. But it seems that it will be opened in advance.”
“This is strange.”
“Why is the association so unreliable?”
Everyone was baffled.
Everyone looked lost upon knowing that the Illusory Realm would be opened in advance. Lu Ming echoed their concerns. “Yes, I wonder why they suddenly opened it.”
Lu Ming was truly confused!
Everyone seemed confused.
There was no other choice.
They could only rest for now.
…
At night.
Thirty cultivators had arrived.
The Energy Warrior that was responsible for opening the Illusory Realm had arrived. However, to everyone’s surprise, he came with another peak three-star cultivator!
Furthermore…
The person was Lu Ming’s acquaintance!
