Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1661: Chapter 1663: The Seed

As Sao Bao finished speaking, Lu Xiaobu sensed the killing intent from behind him.

It was from Wan Jian.

It wasn’t directed at him, but at Sao Bao.

”Stop, stop, stop, since I didn’t make a big fuss about this matter, it shows I don’t want to expose you. If you fight with me now, you’re the one exposing yourself.” Sao Bao shook his head and said.

Hearing this, the killing intent from Wan Jian suddenly paused, then he squinted his eyes and said, ”What do you want?”

”Want? I don’t want anything, just to make a friend.” Sao Bao flashed an innocent smile: ”This is my sincerity! Otherwise, I could have many ways to directly deal with you! How about it? Want to come over to my place?”

”Let’s go, lead the way.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said casually.

”Okay.” Sao Bao didn’t waste any words and turned around with three people walking to the side.

The three of them walked through the streets and alleys, and along the way, Sao Bao talked a lot, introducing all kinds of things here to Lu Xiaobu, appearing just like an ordinary chatterbox.

But, no one is a fool, being able to see through the identity of the slave merchant from earlier and even discerning the identity of Wan Jian, how could he possibly be an ordinary person?

Finally, when they arrived at a small alley, Sao Bao stopped and said with a smile: ”Please, this is my little courtyard.”

The three of them entered one after another.

Once inside the hall, they sat in order of importance.

”I really didn’t expect that the Four City Lord of Gourd Waist would actually come here!”

Sao Bao’s first words made Wan Jian’s heart skip a beat again.

Who exactly is this person?!

Why not only could he discern his foreign identity, but he also knew the Young Master’s identity?

The killing intent within him surged again.

There was no one here, he could kill the other party instantly.

”Don’t rush, don’t rush! People from your clan, always so fond of slaughter!” Sao Bao waved his hand and said to Wan Jian: ”Look at your master, so calm?”

”Alright, just speak plainly, stop probing back and forth, it’s pointless.” Lu Xiaobu yawned and spoke up.

”Good! Straightforward!” Sao Bao nodded: ”It’s nothing else, just want to make a deal.”

”What kind of deal?” Lu Xiaobu said casually.

”Don’t worry, City Lord Lu, this time you came out, you must want to compete for that entry spot at the core, right?” Sao Bao confidently said: ”Being able to enter the Golden Core Stage in such a short time, City Lord Lu must be from the small world.”

”That’s not a secret.” Lu Xiaobu took a sip of tea.

Such a guess, anyone with a bit of effort could figure it out.

As long as they don’t know he’s from the Demon Realm.

”And what I want is this...” Sao Bao put away his smile, carefully took out a seed-like object from his arms: ”Please, City Lord Lu, once you reach the core, plant this on top of the core for me!”

”Huh?” Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes: ”What is this?”

”City Lord Lu doesn’t need to know, does he?” Sao Bao smiled.

”That’s indeed the case, so what do I get? This matter isn’t a small one, right.” Lu Xiaobu said casually.

”I can provide City Lord Lu with all the resources needed during the quota competition, and even help City Lord Lu eliminate unnecessary troubles like today! I can also give a gift, unlock your little slave’s collar!” At this moment, Sao Bao’s expression was incredibly serious.

”You’re the black market boss here, aren’t you! The third person besides the City Lord and the Housekeeper of Yiji Mansion who can unlock the collar! So the question arises, why find me?”

Lu Xiaobu curiously asked: ”In your position, finding someone should be easy. Even more so, if you go yourself, it’s safer!”

”Because you are strong, all four City Lords of Gourd Island were strong combatants at the Golden Core Late Stage, yet you easily unified them, so I chose you! As for myself, I really want to go, but I am shackled!” Sao Bao half praised, half lamented.

”Then how can you ensure I will definitely help you and won’t renege?” Lu Xiaobu asked again: ”If I don’t do it for you, you’d end up with nothing.”

”Yes, if you renege, I indeed end up with nothing. However, it won’t affect my other things.”

Sao Bao did not deny it, nodding and said: ”But, if that happens, you will lose my friendship, and once you come out, you’ll face a relentless pursuit, and the power you established will be destroyed.”

”Is this a threat?” A flash of cold light flickered in Lu Xiaobu’s eyes.

”No, no, no, I prefer to call it a safeguard of cooperation!” Sao Bao shook his head and said.

”Add one more condition, and I’ll help you, tell me the purpose of this thing.” Lu Xiaobu stared at the seed.

”This...” Sao Bao hesitated.

The room fell into silence.

After a long time.

Only then did Sao Bao slowly open his mouth and say: ”I can tell you, but you mustn’t tell a third person.”

”I promise you, if you don’t believe, making an oath is fine too.” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

”Oaths are just something to fool ghosts.” Sao Bao shook his head: ”I don’t want to tell you just to avoid trouble, telling you would bring trouble to both of us!”

”But since you insist on asking, I won’t hide it!”

He had planned this for a very long time, and now seeing a suitable person, he didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

”This thing is called the World Tree Seed.” Sao Bao looked at the seed and said: ”You know the World Tree, right, the foundation for this big world to link to various small worlds.”

”I know.” Lu Xiaobu understood this.

”And this is the seed of the World Tree of this big world, its rarity I needn’t mention, it goes without saying.”

”The primary use of this seed is that it can take root at the core, from then on, a fixed passage can be formed with one side of a small world, allowing people from the small world to travel back and forth between this island and the small world, rather than as before, randomly appearing on various islands.”

”So miraculous?!” Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows, stood up, even feeling a desire to take this thing.

If it links with the Heavenly Dynasty, then people from the Heavenly Dynasty can fixedly move to Gourd Island.

Imagine, not to mention a lot of people, just bringing ten thousand Iron Cavalry over, and if cultivated meticulously, they can be a force that sweeps over here.

Of course, the sweeping I’m talking about here refers to wits, not martial prowess.

Moreover, in this way, he can also return to the Heavenly Dynasty anytime!

This kind of thing is more alluring than any mythical treasure!

He wants it!

It’s the first time he has wanted something so much!
