Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Checking Harvests (Part 4) The stars along the night skyline were like seashells on the beach, deeply mesmerizing.
Under the moonlight, the night is Luo Cheng was especially clear today.
Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were each holding a bowl of braised beef instant noodles sitting atop the roof. Lu Shu was lost for words but finally couldn’t tolerate anymore, “So this is what you meant by cooking for me?”
Unimpressed, he held up the bowl of instant noodles in his hands.
Lu Xiaoyu spoke in a serious tone, “I wanted to make you something to eat but didn’t know when you’d be back. If I bought something else, what if it turned bad?”
Lu Shu was stunned. This reason seemed logical as Lu Xiaoyu slurped a mouthful of instant noodles and with a face of satisfaction, continued, “Dumplings for farewell and noodles for welcome, we should eat noodles after coming home from a long trip.”
“But they never said it’s instant noodle,” Lu Shu complained.
Lu Xiaoyu frowned after hearing that, “so are you eating or not?!”
“Eating!”
At this moment, Li Xianyi was silently looking at this sibling from the yard next door. He knew that after Lu Shu entered the remains, Lu Xiaoyu’s temper had worsened.
In order to pacify Lu Xiaoyu, he even bought her a lot of snacks. But Li Xianyi also found out that the snacks-loving Lu Xiaoyu had stopped eating snacks in the day.
Li Xianyi was curious why Lu Xiaoyu wasn’t eating the snacks and she said that she was saving it for the night.
During the period of time Lu Shu was inside the remains, Lu Xiaoyu would go out every night. Li Xianyi was concerned for her safety and secretly followed her once, only to find out that Lu Xiaoyu would clumsily climb up a huge tree at the foot of the mountain and eat her snacks while waiting for Lu Shu.
She would feel sleepy at times but still wouldn’t go home and would instead lean against the tree trunk and sleep, as if she was afraid to miss anything.
And during that one time, Lu Xiaoyu didn’t bring many snacks and would keep her little hands inside her sleeves and stare pitifully at the peak of the mountain.
Li Xianyi felt emotional at the sight of that, thinking that this was probably the purest form of family love on earth. He didn’t concern himself with this anymore and would supply Lu Xiaoyu with snacks every morning for her to eat at night.
Li Xianyi observed for a moment before heading back in. He suddenly realized that Lu Shu must have gained a lot from the remains, and this was referring to his vitality aspect.
Lu Shu’s temperament had changed and Li Xianyi felt that before long, with one or two more opportunities, Lu Shu’s vitality training would have a breakthrough!
Under the moonlight, the old man suddenly noticed the gold chains and watches Lu Shu was wearing. Just what did this punk do inside the remains?!
At this moment, Lu Shu saw with his peripherals that the old man had entered his house and spoke softly, “I’d tell you in details what happened in the remains after we go back in. There’s also something I want to test out.”
What he wanted to test was his newly obtained two soul pearls, one black and the other ambilight. What could be their use?
When he first obtained them he had an idea that these were something for Lu Xiaoyu’s conjured soul puppets to eat. Whether or not that was true, he had to test it out.
Summarizing all his harvests from this remains, the greatest one was, of course, the mountain river seal. Although its uses were still unknown, it must have some extraordinary powers given that it’s the relic of a special remain.
And the power of a storage space meant that bringing items was now more convenient. If a future opportunity for him to follow Li Yixiao into another remain presented itself, he could secretly hide items inside the seal…
It’s basically a household traveling magical kit!
The second greatest gains were the gold chains and watches. Money, to Lu Shu, was happiness itself…
During the earlier exchanges, he was secretly calculating and estimated that these items were bought for about 190k. Not every item was worth a lot but if he could sell everything at half price, his income would be 90k+. Even a lower price of about 30-40k was acceptable. He could only confirm this at the pawn shop.
He wondered if his daoyuan student identity would play a part during his visit to the pawn shop. It would be a waste to not use such a powerful identity and Lu Shu wanted to make the most out of it.
The third greatest gain was the distress points. It was a large harvest that could already supply half the amount needed for the sixth star.
The fourth greatest gain was the twelve long spears within the mountain river seal. This directly increased Lu Shu’s combat power.
Although the corpsedog was useful, sword manipulation was a skill he unlocked prematurely. Although he could use the corpsedog, his celestial energy was only enough to use it three times. What if he had to face more than three enemies? Wouldn’t it be awkward?
But the twelve long spears could only be considered supplementary. Combat power definitely required a lot more preparation.
After the two of them went back in, Lu Shu first retrieved the long spear from the seal to show Lu Xiaoyu. But Lu Xiaoyu wasn’t interested in this kind of weapon at all.
That’s true, the long spear was a great mismatch with Lu Xiaoyu in terms of height. Previously when Lu Shu was watching Journey to the West, he was thinking that Nezha and the Red Boy had a really small physique and just what kind of weapons did they use? Pocket edition ones?
Wouldn’t that be laughing stock?
The Fu Li orphanage teachers were stunned at Lu Shu’s question and never got around to answering it…
Lu Shu told Lu Xiaoyu to summon that Class D soul puppet as he retrieved that black soul pearl from his celestial map and gave it to Lu Xiaoyu, “let it eat this and see what happens.”
After eating the soul pearl, there was an immediate reaction. Lu Shu could feel the aura of the Class D soul puppet rising and it had risen to the level of a mid-tier Class D within a few minutes. That was the same level as Lu Shu!
This was surprising. Turned out that the soul pearl made from thousands of ghosts had such a great effect! Lu Shu slightly regretted that he should have stayed in the battle zone longer. If he had gotten one more of this pearl, wouldn’t the Class D soul puppet rise to a top-tier Class D?!
But another reaction happened, this black soul puppet suddenly… started laughing by himself uncontrollably! It was such a strange situation!
Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu looked in dismay at this Class D soul puppet laughing to himself foolishly. Lu Shu suddenly wondered if this could be due to the corpsedog?!
Lu Xiaoyu expressionlessly turned to Lu Shu, “The previous time you caused my pig to explode and this time my puppet is laughing uncontrollably and can’t be stopped. So… the thing you just gave him was a laughing pill?”
“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +777!”
