The practitioners in the Dark Kingdom who were currently concerned with the post felt sore. Those who had paid the 20,000USD had the right to comment. As for those who had not, they were still waiting for other practitioners or organizations to sell out information to them at a low price. These people, they could not even see any comments.
“What’s Anthony up to?” Someone commented. This was a big shot with a Class B label.
“The phone call could not get through.”
Lu Shu was startled upon seeing this. Anthony was so well-known in this Dark Kingdom?
He discovered that half of the names in the forum seemed to be real names. He compared them to the distress point record of his back-end recorder. More than half of them could actually be checked against the forum names. Among the users with real names, they seemed to be the more powerful ones, the Class Cs and Bs. They seemed to not mind the slightest whether their true identities were discovered.
If not, were they actually trying to flaunt how influential they were?
Of course, in this forum there were still many users with pseudo-names. They came in all forms, and some were in fact pretty cocky…
Lu Shu began to record down the names in his back-end recorder silently. After he got back, he would memorize them properly. One must know that it was certainly not easy to acquire large-scale such a large number of real names of these pro practitioners worldwide…
No matter if they would be useful in the future, it would still be better to note down in his little notebook the names and also some form of identification to be cross-referenced. They should all be noted down, in case he were to meet any of them in the future in some remains overseas. He could perhaps gain some upper hand then.
However, this was still the true names of only a small handful of masters. Lu Shu was thinking, how could he enlarge the scope just a little…
Unbeknownst to the foreign masters, their names had been recorded in somebody’s little notebook.
Someone suddenly commented in the forum, “Start the sale of information please. Can’t just let us suffer the disadvantage.”
“That’s true…”
Those outside could not see the situation within. The post could not be opened, how could they see?
So, the information could still be sold! Even though the content may be a little far-fetched, if I simply take a picture and sell them, the original content could be proven to be so… the one hoodwinked weren’t us, but Anthony…
Some of them were beginning to have their own ideas. Did he run into some kind of trouble? Or was it something else? However, it was impossible for them to verify anything now.
The truth was, the fee-paying news in the salt lake remains had no mention of Anthony at all. It seemed like even the information providers knew nothing of his arrival. Those who knew were still in the minority: Chen Baili and other high-ranking ones in the Heavenly Network, Lu Shu, Chen Zuan, Lu Xiaoyu and the employer, Collection of Gods.
The piece of news did mention that Chen Baili was suspected to have been promoted to Class A, because he had not hide his flight.
These fee-payers started to move. No matter what, anything that could be bought must be bought.
In the past, those who waited for the information to be sold at low prices had to actively search for fee-payers to inquire. Now, there was no longer any need…people were selling of their own accord…
“3000USD, posts regarding Anthony, anyone?”
“I want! Let me transfer you the money!”
Such straightforward exchanges were due to the fact that the fee-paying information in the dark forum had always been decent and proper. Moreover, the charged posts were basically always worth the price. The experts, under normal circumstances, would not stoop so low as to try anything funny.
In fact, these kind of rules and industrial chain had gradually become the norm in the past one year or so since the great age of magical energy rejuvenation.
In the end, it seemed like some strange being had sneaked into the dark forum today…
Here, someone had received the transfer, “Good, I’ve received the money.”
“Information.”
“Whether would I tell you, don’t you have the slightest idea?”
The other person, “???”
“This is what Anthony really said…” The information seller quickly explain, “I took a photo for you, have you received?”
“Is Anthony crazy?!!”
On this side, Lu Shu was recording the real names in his domestic magical device, and in the end, he realized it was impossible to keep up…
What is this? Where did all these weird and random names come from, and they contained characters from all across the nation…
“Forget it. I shall go back and flip through the distress points value again,” Lu Shu was feeling slightly dejected. There seemed to be too many errors… but looking at the distress points in the back-end recorder, half the 200 thousand distress points needed for the third star was already collected…
The first star, 100 thousand; second star, 100 thousand; third star, 200 thousand; fourth star, 400 thousand; fifth star, 800 thousand, sixth star, 1600 thousand; seventh star, 3200 thousand. According to this pattern, it should be so.
This time, the reason why he could ascend so rapidly was all due to Anthony. However, such means could only be used once. Lu Shu thought, even the third star required so many distress points, what about the next four?
He should set his strategic sight…across the whole globe….
Lu Shu kept Anthony’s bank card in his Seal of Lands. If he were to ever bring Xiaoyu to the Americas for a trip, the two million over US dollars, along with the 100 thousand USD in cash in the Seal of Lands would save him the trouble of changing money.
Also, Lu Shu only learnt when he landed upon Dark Kingdom that Anthony’s white sands was only half the employment fee, and the other half of the deep-sea white sand was still in the hands of the Collection of Gods.
Form the look of his combat situation with Anthony, he had utilised the sands as a body armor in the beginning and only used them as his ultimate weapon of death at the end when he wanted to end the increasingly difficult fight in the soonest time.
Which means to say, this half of the white sands was barely enough to act as a form of defense, and defense and attack cannot be achieved at the same time.
If he had the other half of the sand, Lu Shu would probably be long dead…
He had no way of knowing if the Collection of Gods was an organization of the island state. Even the clues to the name of the organization, Lu Shu had blindly guessed it himself. Whether he was correct or not, he could only verify in the future.
If it really belonged to the island state, Anthony had wanted to kill Chen Baili, making Lu Shu’s seizing of his half the amount of white sands…not feel so stressful after all.
Lu Shu, in his heart, had begun to cling on to the other half share of white sand. No matter what, they had posed the greatest threat to him at that time…
One must have dreams, what if they were to come true?
Good thing is, a soul knows no pain, and it was different from normal people even if injured. It could be quickly kept back into the Celestial Map for rapid recuperation.
In the meantime, using the white sands directly as a mean of attack seemed to be a good idea too.
“Shall we go back? The flight tomorrow is at 7pm, we can continue trying out the delicacies in Xijing City,” Lu Shu looked at Lu Xiaoyu, only to realize that she had already fallen asleep, her head on the armrest of the sofa. Little Fury was also snoring away as it lay on Xiaoyu’s head.
In her sleep, Lu Xiaoyu uttered, “Lu Shu, I want to eat tomato eggs, meat sauce noodles, crepes… Lu Shu, don’t let go of my hands…”
