Restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today's Queqiao Restaurant was once again booked exclusively by a pair of generous young people,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the restaurant owner was quite happy to enjoy a quiet time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two youngsters only came here each time to chat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rarely even eating anything,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet the lavishness of their spending\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>made him hardly believe they were Lords from the 11520th era;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was highly likely\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were Lords from upper floors, coming down for fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>World Boundary City expands by one floor each year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topmost floor is the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottommost floor is the 11520th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, whichever era a Lord belongs to,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when entering World Boundary City, they will be transported to the corresponding floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lords from upper floors can descend easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lords from lower floors find it rather difficult to ascend to upper floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a restaurant on the very bottom floor,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>being able to encounter Lords from upper floors coming down to spend money,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the owner of Queqiao Restaurant was beyond delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these two young people visiting once, his revenue for several days was covered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished they would come every single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't go over to serve or disturb them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let them chat more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restaurant owner specially instructed the waiter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite it being broad daylight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>inside the restaurant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a romantic atmosphere of moonlight had been created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the windows\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>projected a shimmering seascape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight seemed as real as could be,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>very beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm telling you, Su Yu, little brother, I, your elder sister, am very busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can't produce something satisfactory to me, I might turn hostile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luoyue had her legs crossed, smiling brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because her legs were too long,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the height of the table made it impossible for her to cross her legs properly,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So she pushed her chair back a bit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not like last time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>where she had used her feet under the table to spar with Su Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, for whatever reason,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she usually liked bare legs, but today she wore a pair of jeans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tight jeans,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>perfectly showcased the beautiful curves of her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu had grown accustomed to those legs,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and originally thought nothing of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But shrouded by jeans,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>because they became unseen,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they instead stirred a bit more itch in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pretended to glance casually,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>shifting his gaze to the window,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to the illusory sea surface,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and softly said, \"It's not that I give you what you need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You call me brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A fair transaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Yu pretending to be serious,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luo Yue was instantly amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight lift at the corner of her eyes, she said, \"Then what have you prepared for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu did not answer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just took out several things from the lord terminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advanced Population Expansion Orders ×10,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>each one can increase the territory's population limit by +100.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Advanced · Lord's Loving Heart」,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>territory item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After use, it can make all farmhouses in the territory provide +1 to the population limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect is extremely exaggerated, more useful in later stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu's territory already has several tens of thousands of peasants,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>productivity greatly exceeds resource acquisition rates,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so there's no need to infinitely expand peasants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luo Yue had told him last time that she needed things to expand the population limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept it in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such things are not very helpful to his territory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>giving them to Lin Luo Yue is the best option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never expected... you could even obtain such precious things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luo Yue showed surprise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Su Yu brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>putting the item that had already been combined with the 【Cross-Boundary Stone】,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>into her pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This 'Su Yu brother',\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>made Su Yu feel extremely comfortable, both physically and mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like all pores had opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, can I ask you something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luo Yue's eyes held a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask freely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu waved his hand grandly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I deliberately inquired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luo Yue put down her legs, switching to crossing the other leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued, \"The reward for calculating the first place in the monster wave is a kind of package.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That package has a high probability of yielding... a Legendary Hero Recruitment Card.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her eyes narrowed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wouldn't be that new lord Yue Luo, who overwhelmed all races and stirred up such a fuss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yue Luo... Luo Yue, deliberately choosing such a name, perhaps... you secretly admire me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>caused Su Yu to stop breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could that be?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I secretly admire you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu curled his lips in dismissal, replying, \"I'm just an unknown nobody from Blue Star. How could I possibly use a hammer to dominate countless races?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And 'Moonfall'— isn't that someone from the Radiant Divine Kingdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luoyue raised her delicate eyebrows slightly. \"That Legendary Hero Recruitment Card you have... probably hasn't been sold off yet, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, how could our Moonfall ever settle for a mere Legendary-tier hero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I keep saying I'm not him.\" Su Yu desperately attempted to argue,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to offer some explanation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but Lin Luoyue knew about his Legendary Hero Recruitment Card... this point alone, he truly couldn't find a plausible reason to explain away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luoyue leaned back slightly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and raised her fair hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On her wrist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was a black dragon-scale bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It feels rather magical, an ungraded bracelet possessing the power of radiance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luoyue rotated her hand, showcasing her bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This 'Radiant Blessing'— the guy who gave it to me even called it a perpetual flashlight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss... Could it be that the person who gave it to me is from the Radiant Divine Kingdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luoyue put on an exaggeratedly astonished expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, well, that bracelet, I did indeed have someone from the Radiant Divine Kingdom help polish it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu lied without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could a marginal figure from tiny Blue Star possibly get connected with someone from the Radiant Divine Kingdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luoyue chuckled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's none of your concern... Everyone has their own secrets, don't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretend, keep pretending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having reached this point,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu still hadn't admitted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Luoyue no longer pressed further,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up, preparing to return to her territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, I truly thank Brother Su Yu; these items are of great use to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-15T04:16:02.203Z","2026-06-15T04:25:06.961Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fd62eeffe390ba1f982659e001caaeb11d9e8e445805aa5aae380845cb272733","universal-lord-the-zero-troop-building-maniac-chapter-104","universal-lord-the-zero-troop-building-maniac-chapter-102",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Funiversal-lord-the-zero-troop-building-maniac-cover.jpg"]
