Chapter 340: 340

“Lu Shu, is it really okay that we did this?” a tinge of worry crossed Chen Zuan’s face . What on Earth had they done…

In any case, they were experts from the Heavenly Network . In the past, how did Chen Zuan dare to imagine that he would beat them up and rob their money afterwards!

But in Lu Shu’s words, it was justified for a robber to be robbed . Why they could rob us but we cannot do the same to them? Because their faces were bigger?!

Chen Zuan hesitated for a while, “But then, you shouldn’t search all their pants and shoes for money . It’s not easy for them to save some secret hoard I guess…”

After that, Lu Shu fished out another more than three hundred yuan from Hao Zhichao and the rest . Now, they already had 2,200 yuan but it seemed that they had made themselves enemies .

“Let’s leave . We can’t stay here anymore,” Lu Shu frowned, “I’m afraid he may really bring back dozens of people for revenge… Speaking of which, how did they find out our location? I was very cautious along the entire way and there were no followers at all . Are there talents in the Heavenly Network specialized in stalking?”

“You ask me? How do I know! If I knew, my parents wouldn’t have been called to school…”

“This kind of trick can only be used once, but this much is definitely enough for us to survive for 15 days thriftily . It seems that the assessment is not that hard after all,” Lu Shu exclaimed .

Chen Zuan was struck speechless . Who else could whup a Class C expert like him? Fine, even if there was, who else would be so shameless as to conduct a body search for money!

And he still called it “not that hard”?

Chen Zuan suddenly started to worry how other people would treat him when he returned to his Daoyuan Class . His head was already spinning at the thought that one of the five was actually the class master next door .

However, Chen Zuan was really unsure about the value of 2,200 yuan . On usual days, one single meal would cost more than that for him . He was concerned, “Is it really enough?”

Lu Shu shot him a glance, “Or, we can always find a buffet and stuff you with 15-days amount of food . Isn’t it true that you won’t get hungry as long as you got enough food?”

Chen Zuan exploded at once, “I won’t do something so shameful! In the Capital, I, Chen Zuan, am…”

Staring into Lu Shu’s composed eyes, his voice was getting increasingly softer . In the end, he immediately re-strategized under fear, “Moreover, Heavenly King Nie had told us specifically not to use our power…”

“You are too obedient . Are you his parrot or what?” Lu Shu scorned .

Actually, he would not force him either . It would indeed put Chen Zuan in an embarrassing situation by asking him, the young master of the Chen family, to eat into the buffet restaurants’ blacklist . After all, they still had other alternatives available .

By the time they were really left with no choice, Chen Zuan would have to do it anyway .

The pair returned the pillows to their original places . Then, following the same path taken by the men in black just now, they ascended to the rooftop through the stairs .

Lu Shu walked in front while Chen Zuan followed behind . Once Lu Shu emerged from the rooftop gate, he froze . Confused, Chen Zuan caught up with him but was stunned in place immediately as well .

“Good evening, Your Heavenly King . “

“Good evening, Your Heavenly King . “

They greeted Nie Ting compliantly . At that time, Nie Ting was looking at them on the rooftop, with an expressionless look on his face .

For a moment, no one broke the silence in between . Reluctantly, Lu Shu handed over 1000 yuan to Nie Ting, “Can’t be more . We got the money with our own abilities…”

Lu Shu’s voice slowly vanished into the air as well . It was a bloody Class A that he was facing! Even someone with an itching palm would have to stay alive to spend his money . By the way, as the Heavenly King, why was he so free all the time?

Nie Ting took the 1000 yuan in his hand but remained silent as before . Then, he still did not utter a word after Lu Shu surrendered another 500 . Lu Shu was unhappy, “Please, we need to keep something as the reward for our hard work!”

However, only after Lu Shu yielded up another 200 did Nie Ting finally withdraw his hand, “Behave yourselves . ”

After that, he was gone, leaving behind Lu Shu with dejection written all over his face, “Time to have a buffet…”

“I’m out!” Chen Zuan clenched his teeth .

“We only have less than 600 left . Do you think we can make it through fifteen days given the cost of living here?”

“In any case I’m not going! I have my face to save!”

“Well, it seems you never learn to appreciate,” Lu Shu sneered .

“… Can I just eat three days’ amount?” Chen Zuan was scared . He could not afford to displease either the Heavenly King or Lu Shu . Disobeying the former might not bring about severe consequences but as for the latter… Chen Zuan might be skinned alive .

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +399…”

…

Nie Ting’s tall build cast a shadow on the stairs deep inside the Lingjing lane . He walked down with a graceful pace .

Overwhelmed with anxiety, Hao Zhichao’s team were waiting in the base below . Nie Ting passed the 1,700 yuan to them and proceeded deeper inside, while Hao Zhichao could not help but admit to their mistake, “Your Heavenly King, it was our fault that the mission failed . ”

“You are not to blame . I underestimated him . Go and have some rest . I will send more people to you next time,” Nie Ting said calmly .

Behind him, Hao Zhichao and the rest were deeply moved . In fact, although it was a widely understood fact that military merit was the sole testament to power there, the Heavenly Network was not a single-dimensional result-oriented place . The insiders all knew that the Heavenly King would never punish or chide anyone so long as they had put in their best .

Actually, Nie Ting cared deeply about his people . In order to avenge the twenty-one comrades-in-arms who were killed by the Class B Metahuman of water type, Nie Ting had been very carefully planning for as long as three months .

This incident made everyone in the Heavenly Network tremble as they learned that someone would certainly take vengeance for them even if they died in their post .

The underground base was huge . Redesigned from the prototype of an air-raid shelter, it went even deeper into the earth .

Nie Ting walked all the way back to the secret room full of monitor screens . Shi Xuejin was already in side . He put down his book and smiled, “Did the kid surrender his money?”

“Only 1,700,” Nie Ting sat down, “His strength has been growing rapidly since his awakening . Also, earlier on the train, I already had the suspicion that he is a rare case who awakened to two types of powers, but one of which is seldom used . Back then, his power was covered by Cao Qingci’s, so I can’t say for sure which type his belongs to . ”

“Then are you disappointed in him yet? A brat who dares to rob his own people’s money?” Shi Xuejin laughed . Actually, he had been paying attention to the young man since his first encounter with Li Xianyi, but had given up his interest after nothing abnormal happened .

However, how could he be normal, as a person who made military achievements twice in the remains and helped Chen Baili and Li Xianyi with their foundation restoration and their ascension to Class A?

Nie Ting’s fingers slowly tapped the arms of his chair, “On the contrary, I am more interested . ”
