Chapter 155: Into The Pothole (Part 2) âYouâre taking too much if we split 5-5. You canât even enter the remains without me,â Li Yixiao was very much against the notion of a 5-5 split.
Lu Shu spoke candidly, âTruth to be told, I already earned enough from this remain alone. Whatâs the point of risking my life in other remains? There were already so many dead people this time, who knew what would happen next time? What if there were spies who could kill me easily?â
As he said this, Lu Shu thought that he could be closing his doors to the potential money he could earn in other remains and his heart ached at the thought⌠but when it came to negotiations, he couldnât reveal his weakness!
Li Yixiao deliberated for a long time before agreeing that Lu Shu was really risking his life and it was fair of him to take half the spoils. And more importantly, Li Yixiao couldnât find anyone else to work with. Fatty Li then said, âAlright, 5-5, so be it. But you canât slack off! Iâd stop working with you if you did, and you canât hide any equipment as well!â
âDonât worry,â Lu Shu was jubilant inside, âIâm not that sort of unscrupulous and greedy person!â
Li Yixiao eyed Lu Shu skeptically. Youâre telling me that while clad in gold chains and watches?! He thought and replied, âSince we are already business partners, shouldnât you give me a gold chain?â
âNope.â
âFrom Li Yixiaoâs distress, +188!â
The two of them had already worked out a common interest, their business just depended on when the next ancient remains would open. In fact, Lu Shuâs willingness to work with Li Yixiao was due to one more reason â he was a heavenly king.
Although Li Yixiao wasnât too reliable, his character was still quite decent. If he could become friends with a heavenly king, wouldnât many things become more convenient in future?
As Zhong Yutang was in the progress of organizing his team, Jiang Shuyi came over with the intention of passing Lu Shu his spear. Lu Shu didnât reject him as Jiang Shuyi had no use for it. That spear would be the most useful for his use.
No one knew what exactly it was down there. With Lu Shuâs character, the more options he had, the better.
However, at this point, Lu Shuâs greatest option wasnât his spear-tossing but the corpsedog concealed within his celestial map for a long time!
If there were ghosts below⌠Lu Shuâs emotions were like a burning flame.
Zhong Yutang walked over, âHeavenly king Li, there are 9 missing members of the heavenly network from Yuzhou. Taking the one you killed into account, there should be 8 people below. This is my negligence, I will report to heavenly king Nie after this.â
âDonât bother reporting to him. Everything I say is final here in Yuzhou,â Li Yixiao flailed his huge arm, âWhy are you looking for so much trouble, we all know that spies are hard to guard against since theyâve started more than ten years ago. No one knew about the magical development then as well, they were just lucky.â
Zhong Yutang frowned, âButâŚâ
âNo buts,â Li Yixiao replied indifferently, âDonât even know if we lured all of them out this time. Daoyuan students have to keep a lookout within your groups. More inspection and interrogations would take place when we get back. We have to comb through once more.â
Li Yixiaoâs expression suddenly turned extremely somber, âIf we catch these rats, weâll kill them one after another.â
Zhong Yutang was relieved as well. If the higher management knew that 9 spies emerged from this operation in the remain, his inspection and management abilities would be questioned. This sort of thing would be hard to report as well. Just from this alone, it seemed that it was a good thing Li Yixiao was in charge of Yuzhou. At least he was rather lenient.
Zhong Yutang thought and asked, âEverything is settled now. Heavenly king Li, could you inform me of your further plans?â
âPlans? What plans?â Li Yixiao was dumbfounded.
Zhong Yutang: Erm.
âŚ
Lu Shu stood at the end of his team. He was placed in Luo Chengâs team of heavenly network members and Xi Fei was beside him.
As a class D within the remains, Xi Feiâs presence wasnât small. He would definitely be credited in the roll of honor when they got back. He was quite familiar with Lu Shu, as they had a teacher-student relationship after all.
But he looked at Lu Shuâs get-up. It definitely didnât fit Lu Shuâs character as it was extremely eye-catching.
Lu Shu suddenly thought. This pothole was more than a hundred meters deep. Even if he could jump into it without much problems as a class E strength type, what about the others?
It was as if everyone wasnât anxious and never thought about the problem of getting down there.
At this moment, a class D expert beside Zhong Yutang nodded his head and walked to the edge of the pothole, sticking his hands on the floor.
The next moment, a stone platform started forming close to the entrance of the pothole. This class D expert was actually a metahuman!
This was very powerful! He actually created a winding staircase out of nothing!
Li Yixiao nodded and looked at everyone, âMove out! Everyone follow me, Li Yixiao, and do your best. Credit and resources wouldnât be left out. Iâm a generous person and will do as I promise. What is the known pun about my name Li Yixiao?â
Li Yixiao almost forgot what it was and looked over towards Lu Shu, âWhat is the known pun about my name Li Yixiao?â
Lu Shu shouted annoyingly, âGenerous-Li!â
âYes, hahaha. Generous-Li. Ancestors mentioned that Li Yixiao is generous!â
At this moment, all the members of the heavenly network including Zhong Yutang shot a suspicious look at Lu ShuâŚ
âFrom Zhong Yutangâs distress, +99.â
âFrom Xi FeiâsâŚâ
âFrom Liu XuanyuâsâŚâ
Lu Shu couldnât believe it, this Li Yixiao didnât even remember how to sing his own praises? Why ask me in front of so many people?
The distress points gained from these few days were already more than 40 thousand⌠If this went on, the 160 fruits needed to light up the sixth star werenât too far awayâŚ

Everyone started walking down the stone staircase. Zhong Yutangâs worried expression couldnât be hidden as he stood at the top of the pothole. He was worried that the 9 spies came prepared. If Li Yixiao was unreliable down there, the team he nurtured so painstakingly might run into troubleâŚ
But he couldnât go down. He understood Li Yixiaoâs intentions for him to look after those daoyuan students. If a class C spy suddenly revealed himself to be within this group of students, they would be finished.
No. Looking at Li Yixiaoâs demeanor, he couldnât have thought of that. It was just because he didnât want Zhong Yutang to go downâŚ
Lu Shu walked along the winding staircase. Only thirty meters down, he heard crying sounds from down below, as if hungry ghosts were thinking of taking a few souls for lunch.
