"Ti to divide the spoils."
In the top-floor apartnt of the Jinxiu Yujing District, Lu Heng turned a bag upside down and shook out a heap of Demon Crystal Cores onto the sofa.
"How co there are so many?" Su Muyu's eyes widened with surprise upon seeing the nurous Demon Crystal Cores.
These Crystal Cores were naturally procured from the vault in the headquarters of the Gongteng Group.
If they could move slowly, they could have taken the gold bars too.
However, the gold bars were too heavy, and it would not be convenient to take them if the enforcent team arrived.
Moreover, handling a large amount of gold could be troubleso and risky, as it might be easy to trace.
"You take one, I take one, you take another, I..." Lu Heng began distributing the Crystal Cores.
After dividing them, there were a total of 51 Crystal Cores, and they could not be evenly divided, so Lu Heng ended up keeping the odd one for himself.
Su Muyu covered her mouth and laughed, "Isn't this what they call unequal distribution?"
"It's not important, I just wanted to show you. After showing, I still have to take them back to purchase quenching materials," Lu Heng explained as he began putting the cores back.
"What..." Su Muyu smiled charmingly, helping Lu Heng to put the Crystal Cores back.
Lu Heng left ten Crystal Cores for Su Muyu, saying, "Keep these, use them as you see fit. Spend more ti practicing your skill proficiency and archery. See when you can reach level 20."
"Okay." Su Muyu nodded earnestly.
"Uh, right, take this card, the password is six sixes, don't hesitate to spend," Lu Heng stuffed a bank card into her hand.
"But, taking so much money for no reason, it feels like I'm being kept," Su Muyu pursed her lips, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Then consider it a team bonus," Lu Heng anded his statent.
"That works."
With a change of terminology, Su Muyu suddenly felt the money was justified and accepted it with a smile.
"Also, we have another troubleso matter to handle," Lu Heng rembered another unresolved issue.
"The matter about the Evil God's Finger? Do you think the Evil God's Finger was brought to Blue Star?" Su Muyu also considered this possibility.
For her, it was rely a guess, but for Lu Heng, it was almost a certainty.
If things developed as they had in his previous life, in three months' ti, Evil God Barton would descend upon Blue Star, slaughtering all the human superpower users that impeded his resurrection.
Before this experience on the Abyss Battlefield, Lu Heng did not know how Evil God Barton had co to Blue Star. It wasn't until he realized a segnt of the Evil God's Finger was missing that he understood the situation.
Certainly, a superpower user had brought the Evil God's Finger back to Blue Star, which led to Evil God Barton's appearance on Blue Star in three months.
These three months would likely be the ti the superpower user accumulated strength for Evil God Barton.
Given Evil God Barton's vengeful nature, once he regained his strength, those who had once obstructed him were bound to die.
Thus, they must find this superpower user within three months and destroy the finger segnt.
Moreover, they could not delay for a full three months; once Evil God Barton accumulated enough strength, it would be difficult to handle thereafter.
Therefore, the quicker they acted, the better.
"I'm pretty sure that the segnt of Evil God's Finger has already arrived in our world, but I don't know who has it," Lu Heng expressed his concerns.
"What should we do?" Su Muyu pondered as she asked.
"This matter is a bit tricky; just the two of us investigating would be a waste of ti. I will find soone to help tomorrow." Lu Heng had already figured out what to do the previous few days.
...
The following evening,
Lu Heng and Lin Zeyu had arranged to et at Quenching Castle.
Lin Zeyu, carrying so items, waited alone under the ninth arch of the Century Bridge.
This ti, he had not brought his bodyguards with him.
At eight o'clock,
Lu Heng walked down from the riverside, waving to greet him.
Lin Zeyu was montarily stunned, as he had originally thought Lu Heng would sneak out unnoticed from Quenching Castle and appear behind him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Heng had co down directly from the riverside.
"Weren't you supposed to co out from Quenching Castle?" Lin Zeyu blinked and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't live in Quenching Castle, so isn't it normal for to co from my ho?" Lu Heng answered matter-of-factly.
"That's true." Lin Zeyu realized his question was rather foolish.
Lu Heng led him through the ninth arch into Quenching Castle.
Once inside Quenching Castle, they encountered Gulu in the front courtyard.
Gulu was squatting on the ground, using tweezers to hold a large cockroach, feeding it to a Cannibal Flower in a flower pot.
Indeed, such creatures as cockroaches were formidable, and within just a month, they had officially moved into Quenching Castle.
Gulu, having not seen this kind of bug before, found it quite interesting, especially when feeding the Cannibal Flower.
Upon seeing Gulu, Lin Zeyu hurriedly paid his respects, "Hello, master."
"Uh-huh."
Gulu gave him an encouraging look, finding this human youngster quite agreeable.
Lin Zeyu patted his chest, breathing out a sigh of relief.
During his last visit, he had mistaken this little dwarf as a servant of Quenching Castle; fortunately, he had not revealed his thoughts, else it could have been disastrous.
After greeting Gulu, Lu Heng led Lin Zeyu to the parlor.
"I had to co in a rush this ti, only received seven quenching orders; I won't take a cut this ti," Lin Zeyu placed two briefcases on the table and opened them to display the quenching materials and weapons needing quenching.
Lu Heng briefly examined the equipnt to be quenched and said, "You should still take what you deserve, we stick to our agreent, honesty first. Also, quenching isn't guaranteed to succeed, have you communicated this to the clients?"
