Chapter 67 The Collector (Seeking recommendation votes and monthly tickets)
What arrogance! To treat a dark overlord as a collectible.
If these people heard such ridiculous rumors elsewhere, they would definitely slap them across the face and say, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
However, this moment was one they witnessed firsthand, directly causing their own worldview to collapse and be reshaped.
Without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, it managed to alter the laws and possess the terrifying power of making its words law.
None of the beast tamers present could understand it. Could they tell if it was some kind of special cursed pet with possession abilities, or if the person's spiritual energy was beyond their comprehension?
Are all actions performed in a higher dimension?
Like a character in a story, they never know what the author who writes them is doing. Throughout their lives, they are like puppets on strings, unable to break the fourth wall and see the real world.
Ignorance and incompetence were their deepest feelings at that moment.
What shocked them even more was
Judging from the nonchalant attitude of the mysterious yellow-robed masked man in front of him, this seems to be just the newest collection, not the strongest!
Could it be...?
And there are collections above even the most powerful?
Who on earth is this guy?!
"Thankfully, there was no malicious intent..."
While Sun Jie was shocked, he also felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a catastrophe.
Although the "collector" in front of them was very mysterious and collected monsters, he did not kill indiscriminately and even took the initiative to apologize to them.
People of different statuses can have different effects when they say the same thing.
For example, when Sun Jie heard the other party's apology, his first feeling was one of being flattered, as he felt that the other party had an aristocratic air about him, having witnessed the vicissitudes of life over the long years.
The stronger we are, the more we revere life.
Although it is unknown whether he is human, it is certain that he is a powerful figure from a neutral faction!
I just don't know what the purpose of coming here is?
However, what he didn't know was that the big shot he thought of, seeing the atmosphere ease, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to himself:
"Finally, we managed to fool them!"
The mouse hanging under the robe trembled all over, but not from fear, but from excitement. Its adorable big black eyes widened, and its little paws waved as it excitedly shouted through telepathy:
"Xiu Ren, your wife... she's amazing! She resolved the crisis so easily and almost fooled them all. You're a god among us!!!"
Even though it was telepathy, the sound was so loud it made his eardrums sting, so he quickly tried to calm the guy down.
If this keeps up, I'm going to faint from the shock!
"Eek."
The little spider reached out and gently stroked its back, like a kind older sister taking care of her silly little sister.
The mouse quickly calmed down, but its constantly heaving body revealed its inner turmoil; its worship of Lu Yu had reached its peak.
After accidentally making a mistake due to shaky hands, the mouse felt so guilty that it almost wanted to die. It kept crying and apologizing, and was preparing to forcibly take it away from this dangerous place.
However, Lu Yu stopped him and turned the tables on him.
Explanation?
Explain what?!
The more lies he tells, the more loopholes he creates. Given his skill in lying, he will definitely be seen through by the shrewd people in front of him, and then he will only get more and more into trouble.
So Lu Yu simply chose to overturn the table and rewrite the script.
You think I'm a distorted follower of an evil god? Wrong! I'm just an ordinary collector!
Before they can react, let the mouse play the role of the "dark overlord monster" and escape, then stage a scene where a few words are used to suppress the invincible monster.
The script's inspiration comes from Journey to the West, where all the gods and Buddhas collect their own mounts.
The reason there is no spiritual energy fluctuation is because it's all fake. After all, wouldn't the whole thing be exposed as soon as the red copper spirit appeared?
So they just did a pantomime...
To atone for his sins, the mouse used the best acting skills he could muster, vividly portraying the painful struggle of being suspended in mid-air.
She played herself perfectly!
This, in turn, left the group of people in front of him completely bewildered, especially since Lu Yu left them with a huge space for imagination, making them automatically fill in the blanks with their own thoughts.
However, because the mouse's expressions were too exaggerated, Lu Yu was afraid of giving himself away, so he ended the story early.
As for why he described them as collectibles, it was something he blurted out after a flash of inspiration. Thinking about it now, it makes sense. After all, as the creator of the Secret Food and the master of the gate, both the evil gods and the void world are just raw materials, his future collectibles.
Through a series of unexpected events, his disguise somehow acquired a plausible identity, a new guise...
collector!
"Once we become famous, we might actually be able to subdue the enemy without a fight."
Lu Yu mentally complained, but he didn't forget the purpose of his trip: to buy information about the Wild Power Ants and some necessary items.
If this stalemate continues, the black market tonight could be affected, or even come to an abrupt end.
But the key point...
He couldn't bring himself to say it.
That's so low-class!
This guy is so clueless! Why hasn't he invited me yet? If he doesn't say anything soon, I'll have to run away first, then take off my robe and come back.
So Lu Yu could only add, "It seems I've disturbed the gathering."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze instantly.
Who would dare to answer that?!
They're just being polite; if you take it seriously and say something inappropriate, you might get killed!
Under Lu Yu's expectant gaze, Sun Jie finally spoke, revealing a composed smile:
"You flatter me. It was we who disturbed your... collection. Please be sure to attend tonight's night market so that I can show you some hospitality and make up for my previous offense. Perhaps you will also see something of interest."
Lu Yu nodded slightly, saying nothing more, maintaining the demeanor of a powerful figure.
Sun Jie was overjoyed. It was good that they agreed. Regardless of whether they were human or not, he should make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.
This is the way to live!
Moreover, such a powerful person must possess many treasures, so there might be a surprise at tonight's mutual aid meeting.
So he waved his hand, and hundreds of will-o'-the-wisps lanterns, with the ghost lanterns at their core, formed a huge lantern carriage. After inviting Lu Yu to ride in it, the carriage headed towards the night market amidst the envious gazes of countless people.
The remaining will-o'-the-wisps continued to attract visitors.
Whether it's a first-time visitor or a regular customer of the black market, everyone is just discovering that in addition to walking in, you can also take a vehicle!
This is infinitely more advanced than taking the path of the ghost fire!
After all, one was undergoing a test, while the other was being respectfully welcomed in. Compared to this one, the previous beast tamers were like fireflies compared to the sun.
"It's over..." Qi Changhai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the two children, "Are you alright?"
Yu Xiyan calmly shook her head, showing little fear, but the more she looked at this "collector," the more familiar he seemed.
Could he be one of those who, through countless simulations, will set off a new era in the future?
Seeing that Yu Xiyan was alright, Qi Changhai looked at his son, who seemed stunned and frozen in place, and sighed inwardly.
Originally, I wanted to bring him out to broaden his horizons, but I didn't expect to encounter such a powerful person, who helped him overcome the psychological trauma that Lu Yu had caused him.
As soon as one was removed, an even bigger one appeared.
"Even I couldn't handle this blow, let alone the kid. Looks like I'll have to find him a therapist when we get back..."
Qi Changhai thought with heartache, but he didn't notice that his son's eyes were getting brighter and brighter under the mask!
As Qi Wei looked at the yellow-robed figure who had intimidated the entire black market, only three words remained in his mind.
So cool!
Compared to the many powerful beast tamers before him, although they were strong, they did not have this unparalleled sense of oppression.
The reason he admired Lu Yu was because he was repeatedly crushed and dominated in tactical battles, which was the suffocatingly powerful force he had always dreamed of!
Therefore, he would be furious when Lu Yu gave up on himself, because he represented not only himself, but also the image that Qi Wei had always dreamed of!
this moment,
He suddenly realized, "Who does Lu Yu even amount to?"
Just as his father said, Lu Yu could only act arrogantly in school. Compared with the strong people in the outside world, he was too insignificant and too naive!
Now his idol is the collector!
Whether they are the followers of evil gods or powerful demons, they are nothing more than his collection!
This is the real king of cool!
