Chapter 2770: A Very Profitable Deal!

"Host, isn't there a saying in your world that 'borrow and repay, borrowing again is easy'—as long as you…" The system chattered on, a crackle of electricity passing through, but Luo Fu cut him off.

"Stop, stop!"

Luo Fu's head throbbed from the system's endless nagging.

He knew this damn system wouldn't open certain channels so easily.

He'd struggled even to use his clone projection, and the prolonged use before had damaged him; he'd only just begun recovering in the Honghuang these past days.

To return to his peak, he'd have to keep resting in the Honghuang.

A single Great Luo Jinxian might not harm Luo Fu, but what if ten came? A hundred? Gathered together, their Great Luo Jinxian could still wound him.

He'd have to think carefully about this.

No matter what he could achieve, they all had to arrange things in advance.

"If I must repay, I'll find my own way—but give me another clone projection. If you won't give me another, I'll never earn enough points!"

"You don't want me to keep owing these points forever, do you? System, think of this as a very profitable deal—I can even pay you interest."

Luo Fu spoke this way, gently coaxing, to make the system feel his sincerity.

The system wasn't that foolish, but it also feared that if Luo Fu couldn't obtain these things, he'd grow lethargic—when would his points ever be repaid?

"Host, the system cannot make another exception…"

"This isn't an exception—I'm doing this so you can get your remaining points faster. It's perfectly normal, isn't it? I'm even thinking of your benefit, System!"

As Luo Fu spoke, the system whirled around several times, finally agreeing—he truly had a point.

"Host, I hope you repay your points soon!"

With that, the system handed Luo Fu Clone Projection No. 2. How he used it was up to him; once delivered, it departed.

"That's not bad!"

After watching the system leave, Luo Fu burst into laughter. "So it was this easy to trick the system into giving me a clone projection? Why did I bother struggling before?"

"People shouldn't be too kind—getting scammed once is a scam, getting scammed again is still a scam, only the timing differs."

But Luo Fu quickly stilled his thoughts—his previous clone projection had been watching Zhenyao Mountain nonstop, with no spare time; now he sent Clone Projection No. 2 straight to Shengling Mountain.

Shengling Mountain had many places needing surveillance and many spots requiring his attention.

Especially Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming!

These two were his most prized disciples—success couldn't let them come to harm.

No matter what problems arose later, as long as Luo Fu arranged things properly, the Wu Clan would never suspect what he was truly doing—or the treatment Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming received.

How this matter unfolded depended entirely on them, on their own abilities.

The clone projection Luo Fu requested from the system was likewise inaccessible to others; Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming didn't even know a clone projection had been sent to aid them.

At this moment, the two of them were inside a bunker on Shengling Mountain, preparing to gather information about the surrounding area.
