Chapter 475: Chapter 0475: Preparations (Third Update Request for Subscription)

You can’t deny it, the Summer Country in this world is a society full of personal connections.

When individuals can’t transcend on their own, they need to actively join the system, or at least create a wide network of relationships which can be of use in critical moments.

At least, Su Lu feels that he has benefited from this.

Ever since his business took off, the small loan company has surprisingly not been harassing him.

It’s definitely not because they’re afraid, but because some force is holding them back.

Su Lu certainly doesn’t have such social connections, so it’s certain that it was done by one of his customers.

“They think I’m interesting? Heh…”

Su Lu calmly closes the shop door.

In this world now, he’s the only one who knows what earth-shaking changes will happen in the future.

The past networks, the society of favors… everything will be strongly affected.

To say that the world would be turned upside down wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Therefore, he can ignore any sort of trying to win favor or testing.

After cleaning up, Su Lu skillfully takes out his phone and starts ordering.

The greatest advantage of modern society is the convenience of information. As long as you have money, you can buy most services.

Like… someone to spar with!

“Hiring professional sparring partners. Requirements: hardworking, can endure being hit! Salary is negotiable!”

Most of his daytime and store income are spent on paying people to hit.

More importantly, Su Lu hits people with the intent to damage their True Spirit. It’s not only painful at the time, but also brings about feelings of depression for a while afterward, which is very uncomfortable.

Although they aren’t injured, many sparring partners quit after a period of time.

Su Lu is actually glad about this, because he can only receive experience points from a person twice. Any more is not possible unless he kills them.

“While I’m still an ordinary person, and ordinary people can give me experience points, I should stock up. When the Spirit Tide recovers, I’ll immediately soar into the sky.”

As time goes by, Su Lu feels that the moment is getting closer!

Tonight, as usual, he sits in meditation, sensing the world.

It’s a part of his daily regimen, even if he gains nothing from it.

But tonight seems different.

Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump!

Su Lu can hear his own strong heartbeat.

He feels slightly suffocated in his body as numerous illusions emerge in front of his eyes.

There’s darkness, terror, noise!

It’s as if he’s in the dark depths of the sea, facing a pressure from all sides that’s incomparable. Moreover, it’s oppressive and terrifying, wave after wave impacting his heart.

‘There’s a door!’

Su Lu rejoices inwardly, gritting his teeth.

Boom!

It’s as if the void has been ripped open, a strong feeling of falling passes on to him.

He is suddenly dropped from the seabed to an unknown space.

The surroundings are hazy, with an indescribable color of fog rolling around.

Su Lu moves forward, and suddenly, he sees the silhouette of a giant.

It lies there, its height surpassing Su Lu’s by who knows how much. The surface of its body seems to have countless mysterious runes, yet they’re very blurry.

It’s an indescribable feeling.

Su Lu can only witness it himself, but can’t write it down. He knows what it means, but can’t express it. It makes him so frustrated that he wants to cough up blood.

“Looking at my own ‘corpse’… it’s quite a peculiar feeling.”

Su Lu suddenly understands: “Is this… the core of the world? Bai Jing’s strength is just too weak, too weak that one look at the giant will cause him to go insane or even die.”

“Could this indescribable, unknowable rule be the world’s protection for its original inhabitants? It wasn’t there from the beginning, but emerged after this period of ‘analysis’ and ‘fusion’, a new world rule?”

“Is it just me or does it feel like I added a ‘k’ to my name? Did my main body become an Evil God?”

“But… the world has indeed changed because of this, this much is certain!”

…

Su Lu is extremely excited.

At this moment, a piece of information is transmitted directly into his heart through the contact with his main body.

The general meaning is:

‘The transcendent system of the world has already built its foundation! The Spirit Tide will return in ten days!’

Inside the restaurant.

Su Lu opens his eyes, a hint of joy appearing on his face: “It’s about to start!”

…

Recently, Li Weiwei feels that there’s been some changes in the Bai Jing Restaurant.

The boss has become even lazier, rushing through even the evening business as if he doesn’t care about money.

She was trained as an accountant, so professional habits make her calculate the boss’s income. She immediately feels heartbroken, almost wanting to grab Bai Jing’s ears and tell him: “You see… Look at how much money you’ve earned, and how much you’ve wasted!”

Unfortunately, she can only fantasize about it.

After so many meals, the other party hasn’t even asked for her name. He clearly isn’t planning on making her the boss’s lady.

Don’t even mention it, Bai Jing is quite agreeable to look at once he cleans up… ah, spit spit spit, what am I thinking?

Thoughts swirl in her mind as she walks into the restaurant.

Because she had to work overtime today, it was already past eight when she got home. Fortunately, she was still in time for dinner.

There aren’t many customers at this time. As soon as Li Weiwei scans her eyes across, she immediately notices the notice stuck on the wall: “Starting tomorrow, the restaurant will be closed. Business hours to be determined!”

“To be determined?”

She becomes instantly unsettled, speaking to Su Lu who’s laying out dishes: “Boss…How could you do this?”

“I’m sorry…I have something to do, something very important.”

Su Lu’s answer lacks sincerity to the point that even Li Weiwei can hear the perfunctory tone.

“May I ask what’s so important?”

The young man Cheng Feng who is sitting on one side asks. He’s the major shareholder of New Moon Fighting Gym, and is staring at Su Lu with interest.

“I’m preparing for an impromptu trip!”

Su Lu tells the truth: “Oh, my hiking package has arrived.”

He runs outside to take a delivery. Included are the hiking equipment and outdoor supplies he ordered.

“Really? You’re actually going to be a backpacker?”

Li Weiwei, with her sharp eyes, notices the delivery information and shouts.

“Yes, there are great vast lands, I should travel while I’m young…”

In reality, it’s because the Spirit Tide is reviving, which is a big deal.

Humans are considered the most spiritual of all beings, the only intelligent life on Blue Star, but you cannot underestimate the wild animals and plants.

Logically speaking, the probability of waking up in big cities and in the wild are about the same, but Su Lu can’t possibly obtain some transcendent materials from other people, can he?

Therefore, he has to head into the wilderness to amass enough capital for the future.

This, he does not need to tell his customers.

“Vacation, huh… Young Brother Bai, where are you planning to go?”

Sister Red asks with a teasing grin.

“The closest one is Tianling Mountain Natural Reserve…I plan to go alone, and also collect some ingredients on the way.”

The second half of the sentence is the important part.

“What a pity… But I don’t have the time anyway.”

Sister Red covers her mouth, her smile sly like a fox.

“If that’s the case, take care everyone.”

During closing time, Su Lu sincerely tells his customers.

The Spirit Tide is reviving, the world is changing greatly, and everyone’s future is uncertain.

These people have fed his wallet for so long, a word of blessing is the least he can give.
