Chapter 152: Why Is My Career Panel in 2D Anime Style? Chapter 65

?

At this moment, Lu Ke had changed in Li Ang’s eyes from the stereotypical playboy to an incredibly generous big spender.

After being silent for a moment, Li Ang said: “Then many thanks, Young Master Lu Ke.”

“Small matter.”

Lu Ke put his sunglasses back on, then stood up, preparing to leave.

Li Ang naturally couldn’t just let him run away; he still had some things he wanted to ask.

“Young Master Lu Ke, please wait a moment.”

Saying this, Li Ang took out the fire crystal dagger he had made a few days ago.

He had hung this thing up for several days with no one interested; it was better to take this opportunity to use it to close the distance with this young master.

Lu Ke took the dagger and played with it for a while, then sat back down on the sofa: “As long as it’s not too secretive, this young master can tell you.”

“I don’t know how Young Master Lu Ke and Chief Ma Kusi know each other?”

Li Ang asked while pouring a glass of water and placing it in front of Lu Ke.

This question was just to throw out a brick to attract jade; it wasn’t the question Li Ang really wanted to ask.

Hearing this, Lu Ke shrugged his shoulders: “His mother has some dealings with my father, so we got to know each other after going back and forth.”

“Ma Kusi doesn’t have it easy either. His mother is a Fourth-Level powerhouse, but his father is just an ordinary person, so he isn’t well-regarded in the family.”

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have run alone to a bird-won’t-lay-eggs place like Colonial Planet No. 9527.”

Speaking of this, this young master from the Governor’s Mansion seemed to have remembered something and fell into silence for a while.

Seeing him in this state, combined with his relationship with Ma Kusi, Li Ang’s gaze flickered.

‘Looks like this young master doesn’t have it easy either...’

Although he didn’t know exactly how many children the planet Governor had, he thought there must be more than just Lu Ke.

And Lu Ke currently gave Li Ang the feeling of being just a weakling at the First Level; he probably wasn’t well-regarded in the Governor’s Mansion either.

He and Ma Kusi could be considered to be in the same boat; it was no wonder the two could play together.

At this time, Lu Ke controlled his emotions and asked with a grin: “Anything else you want to ask?”

“Does Young Master Lu Ke know City Lord Brando?”

This was the question Li Ang really wanted to ask.

Since he suspected Brando was the mastermind behind the smuggling case, he naturally had to start collecting intelligence.

Hearing the three words "Brando," Lu Ke touched his chin and began to think.

After a long while, he finally said: “Brando, huh...”

“This old man rarely shows his face. Even for my father’s birthday, he basically only sends a gift.”

“But I remember he is already very old; it’s highly probable he’s too old to walk.”

However, after hearing Lu Ke’s words, Li Ang frowned slightly.

Just from the dealings he had with the other party over the past two days, the feeling that Brando gave him was not like what Lu Ke said about being too old to walk.

Although the other party always mocked himself as an old man.

“Thank you, Young Master Lu Ke, for answering for me.”

Hearing this, Lu Ke stood up again: “Small matter.”

Saying this, he walked toward the door, while leaving a sentence behind: “The reward will be sent over in two days.”

Li Ang watched the young master from the Governor’s Mansion get into the vehicle that had been waiting outside, then stepped forward and closed the door.

It had to be said that today’s harvest was still very huge.

Not to mention the space equipment that hadn’t arrived yet, just that piece of unknown metal mineral had already made Li Ang harvest a lot.

‘Sure enough, doing business still depends on connections...’

‘With this first business, my alchemy workshop can finally be considered open.’

With this thought, Li Ang logged onto the trading website and took down the fire crystal dagger.

Heh heh, yesterday you ignored me, today you can’t climb high enough to reach me!

Two days later.

Just as Li Ang was hiding in the basement constructing the alchemy workshop, a faint knocking sound suddenly came from upstairs.

‘The space equipment Lu Ke mentioned has arrived?’

With this thought, he immediately walked toward the upstairs.

Opening the door, Li Ang saw the familiar flashy man with sunglasses leaning against the door frame.

“Master Li, two days no see.”

“...”

Li Ang didn’t expect that this young master would come to the door in person; he stepped aside to let the other party enter the house.

However, when passing by him, Lu Ke threw a simple silver-white ring to him: “The promised reward.”

“Inject energy into it and you can use it.”

Li Ang caught the ring and immediately used [Qi Control] to inject his Qi into the ring.

The next moment, his spirit felt a vast, empty space.

‘One cubic meter, huh? Not bad.’

Not big, not small.

But for Li Ang at the moment, it was barely enough.

At the very least, it was enough to store some weapons.

And he was only using it as a transition anyway; once he learned space opening, this capacity of space equipment would be of no use to him.

“Young Master Lu Ke, what brings you to my place today?”

Li Ang put on the ring and poured a glass of water for the flashy young man.

“Idle is idle, so I came to stroll around.” Lu Ke shrugged his shoulders, “The flight back to the Central City won’t be here for another two days.”

“I thought a young master like you would have your own flight vehicle.”

Li Ang was a bit surprised; he didn’t expect Lu Ke to have to squeeze onto a flight like ordinary people.

Although ordinary people on Colonial Planet No. 9527 couldn’t afford to sit on it anyway.

After all, with insects everywhere outside, ordinary flight vehicles couldn’t arrive at their destination safely.

However, this again confirmed Li Ang’s previous conjecture about Lu Ke.

The other party was indeed not well-regarded in the Governor’s Mansion.

Li Ang didn’t think that a dignified Governor’s Mansion wouldn’t even have its own flight vehicle.

You have to know that according to the information he looked up, to be a Governor of a bird-won’t-lay-eggs planet like Colonial Planet No. 9527, one had to be at least a Third-Level powerhouse.

The prosperous star regions of the Federation were even more exaggerated; starting at Fourth or Fifth Level to have the qualifications to compete.

Looking at Lu Ke on the sofa whose face was gradually darkening, Li Ang chose to skip this topic.

“Young Master Lu Ke, if you have any friends, you can also help me introduce them.”

“I would have done that without you telling me.”

Lu Ke hummed, seemingly still feeling unhappy about Li Ang’s words just now.

However, seeing his performance, Li Ang’s gaze flickered.

‘Could this silly child be pua-ed by my previous actions because he lacks love?’

You have to know that the intersection between the two sides was only the last transaction; Lu Ke didn’t need to come to the door in person for a piece of space equipment.

Congratulations, Li Ang guessed right.

Although Lu Ke didn’t lack people to flatter him around him, they were all useless people with no ability.

Like artisan-type professionals, although he had seen many, most were only respectful to him on the surface.

Not to mention an elite artisan like Li Ang.

Just then, a series of fine vibrations suddenly came.

Lu Ke didn’t sit steadily and fell onto the sofa.

“The insects on your side are too rampant.”

He complained while sitting straight again.

Lu Ke had been to many pioneer cities, but this was the first time he had seen a swarm as rampant as Pioneer City No. 66.

It could be said that a small tremor every two days and a big tremor every three days was the norm for this pioneer city.

And after hearing his words, Li Ang thought secretly:

‘Sure enough, the swarm on this side is an exception, huh?’

It was very clear that the problem lay with that Zerg Nova hiding somewhere.

“Speaking of which, Li Ang, why don’t you come back to the Central City with me? It’s much safer there than here...”

Before Lu Ke’s words were finished, a deafening sound entered the ears of the two.

This young master from the Governor’s Mansion suddenly became nervous: “What happened?”

At this time, Li Ang walked quickly to the window to look outside, and saw the burrowing worm from last time appearing in the pioneer city.

More importantly...

At the moment, there were a full four worms near him.

‘...Coming for me?’

Although he really didn’t want to admit it, Li Ang felt that the truth was likely like this.

He walked quickly back to the basement to put the anti-tank cannon and ammunition he had prepared earlier into the space ring he had just obtained, then returned to the first floor.

At this time, Lu Ke also roughly understood what had happened and was sending some message through his communication device with a look of bad luck.

“Young Master Lu Ke, just hide here. If it really doesn’t work, you can hide in my basement; that’s my workshop, it should be no problem to block some insects.”

Seeing Li Ang preparing to go out, this young master hurriedly called him: “You are an artisan-type professional, why are you going out at this time?”

“...” Hearing this, Li Ang looked at Lu Ke with a strange expression, “Didn’t Ma Kusi tell you my profession isn’t artisan?”

Seeing him look blank, Li Ang smiled: “My profession is combat-type.”

“...Ah?”

Lu Ke fell into a daze for a moment.

Ma Kusi had only told him about Li Ang’s artisan identity, and hadn’t said anything else; after all, it was just introducing business.

And Lu Ke, as an idle playboy, clearly didn’t have his own intelligence channels.

So until just now, he still thought Li Ang was just an alchemist-type artisan.

Before he could react, Li Ang had already pushed the door and walked out.

Another chapter coming later.
