Chapter 616: 616

The 42nd Battalion was like a trade caravan in the remains . They took the chance while the soldiers of the sea had retreated to visit the other battalions and promote their bronze armor . Lu Shu said that he would give them a commission…

There was another important condition . Lu Shu would not take back the bronze armor the 42nd Battalion was already wearing .

Lu Shu understood that no one would work for him for free . The commission that he offered would make his comrades work harder . Furthermore, everyone was mentally prepared in terms of the bronze armor . After all, Lu Shu had already told them . He would let them wear the bronze armor for now . If Lu Shu was not around, how would they have gotten their hands on the bronze armor?

Now that Lu Shu had proposed such a condition, it was the same as just giving them the armor . After they went back, they could hand the armor to the Heavenly Network and it would be considered as an outstanding military achievement .

After much thought, Lu Shu felt that he could not take the bronze armor . It was different from the trident . It could immediately equip an elite company . To the Heavenly Network, it was a strategic weapon .

If they could obtain a thousand sets of bronze armor, then the Heavenly Network could equip a Practitioners’ army made up of a thousand men . If this army faced another army of practitioners, they would be able to wipe out an army twice their strength . This number could increase if their enemies were secret practitioners .

This was also why the Daoyuan Class students needed more numbers to defeat the soldiers of the sea, who were of the same caliber as them . They would be evenly matched…

From this point of view, these kinds of weapons were best left in the hands of the Heavenly Network .

Nie Ting could not possibly allow these weapons to remain in Lu Shu’s hands either . Lu Shu’s perspective towards problems had changed too .

When he was five years old, he did not want to be bullied by the other kids in the orphanage .

When he was 10 years old, he wanted to save some money to see the outside world .

When he was 14 years old, he wanted to use his savings to buy a pair of white shoes for Lu Xiaoyu .

When he was 16 years old, he just wanted to survive .

Now, the 18-year-old Lu Shu did not quite know what he wanted . He would do what he felt like doing .

In all his years of living, no matter whether he relied on himself and did not steal, or the first time he rejected Li Xianyi’s offer to teach him the way of the sword, or the time he had rejected Nie Ting’s offer to make him Heavenly King, Lu Shu had always wanted to have a clear conscience .

This idea was stuck in Lu Shu’s brain like an arrow . This was his sole guiding principle that lasted his whole life . He would rely only on himself and have a clear conscience .

In reality, evil thoughts were like an ant hole on top of a dam . Many people felt that it was okay to commit small evils . But the ant holes would spread throughout the dam . It would eventually spell danger for the person .

Some people from the 42nd Battalion had returned . Chen Baili knew that Lu Shu was selling the bronze armor, but he did not pay any attention to it . If it were someone else, the bronze armor would have been confiscated . But the person selling the armor was Lu Shu .

Chen Baili decided to turn a blind eye to this matter . Who on this Earth was not selfish? If he was not selfish, Chen Zuan would have no right to train with the Class A geniuses . Chen Baili was not a saint . Neither did he intend on becoming a saint .

Mo Chengkong stood in front of Lu Shu and said, “We had 78 sets of bronze armor left, but we could only sell 30 sets . We can’t do much about it, as some students really have no money . Some girls are daughters of tycoons, yet they are not willing to buy either . Some girls who were in the same military training batch as us still expect to be protected by others till now . ”

Lu Shu was silent . “Is it possible to make them buy the armor for the boys they like? After being stuck in this predicament for more than ten days, it’s easy for them to form feelings for each other…”

Chen Zuan was shocked . “Brother Shu, you are really good at making money! Will that work? Who would be so generous to give something so expensive to someone else?”

“You never know if you never try,” said Lu Shu . “Go . Have this in mind when you approach the girls . ”

In less than one hour, there was a new slogan on the island . If you love him, give him a set of bronze armor and let him protect you…

Seeing the 42nd Battalion sell the armor, a group of Daoyuan Class students were rendered speechless . Were you really Daoyuan Class students?!

But Chen Zuan did not expect that there would actually be girls who were willing to buy the armor…

“Are they all crazy?” Chen Zuan was speechless . “They were willing to give something worth 500 thousand just like that!”

Lu Shu laughed buoyantly . “If it were only a piece of armor, it would definitely not sell . But the problem is, it can help them boost their power . The Daoyuan Class students are most troubled about how to break through to the next class . Many people are stuck at peak Class D . Now, if you could receive a set of bronze armor that represents love and can boost your strength, why not? Which guy would not be happy to use other’s money for their own benefit?”

There was a rumor on the island, the 42nd Battalion was not normal . It seemed as if someone abnormal had joined their ranks!

Someone asked Chen Zuan how they had gotten their hands on the armor . Chen Zuan would answer exactly according to what Lu Shu had told them . As for whether others would be able to obtain the armor through their own means was none of their business .

Lu Shu did not lose anything in letting this secret be known . If someone had indeed obtained the bronze armor, they would increase their chances of survival as well .

From Chen Zuan’s point of view, Lu Shu was half angel and half devil . He was making unreliable business even in this dangerous place . Yet, people did not doubt his kind-heartedness…

This feeling made Chen Zuan so conflicted, he was about to explode…

Mo Chengkong suddenly asked curiously, “Zuan, has Brother Shu been like this all along?”

Chen Zuan sighed . “If you were to encounter the past him, you would probably lose everything, including your pants . He’s not too bad now . At least you have a set of armor that boosts your power…”

Mo Chengkong looked lost in thought . “Zuan, I’ve heard that you often cozy up to Brother Shu?”

After all, Chen Zuan’s attitude had been very obvious . Whatever Lu Shu did, he would do . Whatever Lu Shu let him do, he would do .

Chen Zuan pondered deeply . He wanted to say, “No, I’m different from you . ” But in the end… he sighed . “Yes, I am… wait . I have always been curious about this . How have you been able to cozy up to Lu Shu all this time?”

Mo Chengkong was silent for very long . “This is the ability I have awakened . I have never failed…”

Chen Zuan was dumbfounded . He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out . He could only mutter one word . “Amazing!”
