Chapter 508: 508

A group of people nervously prepared to transport the goods . The Collection of Gods was very particular about their affairs . They first sent someone to check the stock register and calculate its size . They only started transporting the goods after they had decided on the best arrangement .

This way, they could ensure the efficient usage of the space within the delivery truck .

Lu Shu observed from the side . Kawayoshi was still shaken from the incident that had just happened . On the contrary, he was now feeling somewhat sorry for Lu Shu . “Do you know how many people have dreamed of being Kuriyama’s assistant?”

“Oh?” Lu Shu looked at Kawayoshi .

“Lord Takashima may not immediately advance to Class A . Only then will he have a monopoly within the Collection of Gods . Perhaps Lord Kuriyama can be on equal footing as Lord Kitamura, precisely because he is Lord Takashima’s last underling!” Kawayoshi anxiously said, “If you followed him, even if you went with the flow for some time, you can still pick your position as Head of Department . Then, you will have in your hands resources, status and a high level of skills, furthermore many women in the organisation will throw themselves in your arms . ”

Lu Shu kept quiet . Since he had decided that he would distance himself from Kuriyama, then there was nothing else for him to explain . The more he talked, the more mistakes he would make .

On the other hand, Nagaya did not stop talking . “I know that in the past, Nogiwa Hakushun and Lord Kuriyama had many conflicts, so now you are not willing to seek refuge with Lord Kuriyama . But now Nogiwa Hakushun is dead!”

On the inside, Lu Shu was laughing . As long as you’re happy…

It took three hours before the goods in the warehouse were fully arranged . After that, everyone boarded the delivery van and moved over to the new base .

The base, which had been in the suburbs for a long time, was like a steel fortress that was completely shut . There was already a high wall outside the base, which covered a large area of land .

The time now was 11pm . The entire wall was brightly lit, with no spot left dark . In the sentry post above stood military personnel armed with knives . They patrolled the area in an orderly manner .

Lu Shu was curious . “Are we really using this base immediately because of that Heavenly King from China? Isn’t he an earth element metahuman? Wouldn’t it be a piece of cake for him to enter?”

“They were very particular about the underground layout . The entire underground fortress is three metres thick . Although you can’t see from the outside, but it is impossible for that Heavenly King to sneak in from underground . ”

“Oh…” Lu Shu nodded his head . Fortunately, he was not an actual earth element metahuman . In the end, it was still the Collection of Gods that brought him here . After all, there was no earth element metahuman Heavenly King in the first place…

But this fortress was not specially built to guard against him either . He had not been here for that long, there was no way that they could build such a massive fortress in that short period of time .

In reality, each major organisation was working on their own similar project . It was said that the ground under the Luo Shen Cultivation College had a very tight steel reinforcement structure .

After everyone had realised that earth element metahumans had sneaked into an advantageous position, they prepared this for all such metahumans in this world .

Although the cost was very high, there was nothing they could do about it . No one wanted to give others an opportunity to exploit their own resources .

The security of this fortress was very strict . Even Kuriyama himself had to alight from the van to have his pass and fingerprints checked . Lu Shu believed that the security would become even stricter as they advanced to deeper areas .

As the fleet entered, the doors of the fortress suddenly opened wide . The fleet drove all the way into the fortress . As Lu Shu sat in the passenger seat, he saw how impressive the inside of the fortress was . It was like an air base in a science fiction movie . Many people wearing their work wear were busy conducting trial runs on equipment, or allocating the transport of goods and materials .

To his surprise, Lu Shu saw many non-Practitioners .

They were probably ordinary folk working for the Practitioners in the base . Lu Shu knew that many organisations employed ordinary people to do basic services . But at the Collection of Gods mansion, even the gates were guarded by Practitioners . Lu Shu had thought that there were no ordinary people inside the Collection of Gods .

But after some thought, he realised that ordinary people would still do jobs related to science and technology, or cleaning and hygiene . These jobs did not require any combat power, and could also show the importance of hierarchy .

Lu Shu could see that the rulers of the Collection of Gods were safeguarding this very hierarchy . Whoever wanted to enjoy good treatment had to work hard and climb up the social level, surrounded by the true experts .

They approached a large door . A hundred non-practitioners wearing their work clothes hurried to open the door and helped to transport the goods in .

Kawayoshi and Lu Shu stood at the side . Kawayoshi lit his cigarette . “Kuriyamakun has handed over to me . From now on, you will follow me . In a while come with me to the underground base . Although you do not have enough strength now, but do step up your training . This place was specially selected for its abundant magical energy, which is good for training . ”

“Okay . ” It looks like Lu Shu was really infiltrating into the Collection of Gods with this one . But as for whether his strength was sufficient, it would have to wait until he beat up the likes of Kawayoshi and Kuriyama . They probably had no idea what they were facing…

It was at that moment when one of the delivery vans suddenly opened its doors . To his surprise, Lu Shu saw Takashima Tairatsu calmly walking out!

He had been hiding inside for a long time, but till now no one had realised . Kuriyama respectfully greeted him . “Teacher!” Takashima seemed to have some remorse . “It looks like our opponent has not received the news . Not making a move despite such a large decoy and such a good opportunity, what a pity . ”

It turned out Takashima had wanted to use these 29 vans of training resources to lure out that “earth element metahuman Heavenly King”!

What a close call! Fortunately, Lu Shu had not made a move . So Nie Ting was not the only one who liked to hide and trick people!

That being said, Nie Ting had used one-third of the Class A aptitude geniuses as bait . He was more liberal in his spending as compared to Takashima .

The good in the vans had all been transported out . Lu Shu saw that each box was neatly packed with magical stones . Just how many thousand stones were there?!

Knowing that the Heavenly Network only produced less than 200,000 magical stones per year, Lu Shu did not believe that the Collection of Gods produced more here than in his country . The Collection of Gods was also quite liberal in their spending . They just did not think that Lu Shu had entered along with them, and the plan that he had decided on was to first settle his affairs, as long as he knew where the resources were, he could come and take them any time…

Takashima glanced at Lu Shu, Kawayoshi and all those who had participated in the transport . “You all are very good . ”

He left after he finished speaking . Kawayoshi excitedly said, “Not even this amount of resources could lure that Heavenly King . This means that they did not even get the information! This proves that we are definitely not spies . In the future, they will do it again with us . ”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded . Was your logic really so simple… . But, the Heavenly King that all of you are so scared of is standing in your base, unable to do anything…
