You Mingyu talked with the secret practitioners for a full two hours . After their meeting, the secret practitioners walked out of the room . When they saw Lu Shu, they each respectfully greeted Lu Shu . “Greetings, The Venerable . ”
“Go do what you have to do . ” Lu Shu nodded his head . The secret practitioners in this black market who did not know You Mingyu, the Lord, and the Venerable, were likely new to the black market .
The veterans in the Route 301 black market knew one thing . They could not provoke these three people . The Lord loved to covet small advantages, but had no ill intentions . The Venerable was often buoyant, but his words pierced the heart . You Mingyu seemed weak, but had murderous intent behind his smile .
When some new secret practitioners heard about this, they held their chest in shock . “Pierce the heart?! How?”
A group of people by the side started laughing . “He doesn’t literally pierce your heart . It means that his words are often quite harsh . ”
“Oh…” The new practitioner heaved a sigh of relief . He had thought that the Route 301 black market was dangerous . There was even someone who liked to go around piercing other people’s hearts! But it seemed like that was not the case…
After the meeting, a group of secret practitioners ran to the toilet . You Mingyu followed closely behind them . This was the problem with meetings in the country . Meetings often lasted for two long hours . There were even meetings that lasted for a whole day . You had to have a strong bladder if you wanted to sit through everything .

Lu Shu also felt like going to the toilet after waiting for so long . He did not plan to make use of his water-type abilities to earn distress points . After all, You Mingyu knew that he possessed such abilities . He could not be too obvious while making use of them .
A group of people stood at the urinal, chatting as they went about their business . After they were done, they shook the remaining drops of urine off . But they all looked on helplessly as You Mingyu took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket and wiped…
Lu Shu was confused . Was he so delicate .
The group of secret practitioners stood by You Mingyu . They could only stand in silence…
You Mingyu acted as if nothing had happened . He shouted to Lu Shu, “Let’s go . The thing I need to pass to you is still in my office . ”
The secret practitioners could finally heave a sigh of relief after You Mingyu left . Lu Shu waited until there was no one around them before asking, “Is it from Heavenly King Nie?”
“It’s from Heavenly King Shi . It’s a USB,” said You Mingyu .

He returned to his office and opened the safe . He retrieved a USB from inside the safe and passed it to Lu Shu . Lu Shu was dumbfounded . It looked exactly like the USB he got from Anthony!
You Mingyu said, “This is the secret key to access the Darkness Kingdom . Each USB corresponds to one identity . We got our hands on this USB from an intelligence agent, so have no worries using it . ”
As he spoke, You Mingyu passed a document to Lu Shu . “This contains information regarding that person’s identity . After all, the USB is connected to the person’s identity . It would be best if you are familiar with it . He is not active in the Darkness Kingdom, but there will be people who will recognize his ID . ”
Lu Shu took out the document from the folder . He took a look and felt that something was wrong . There was something unique about this information . The person was as tall as Lu Shu, and his face shape was similar to that of Lu Shu’s .
He was an overseas Chinese businessman and secret practitioner called Li Teng . He sold low-end information from within the country overseas .
In reality, spies were not as lofty as they were depicted in movies . They could make money just selling a picture or a sentence . Even information regarding the country’s commodity prices could be exchanged for money .
Lu Shu looked at the information and asked, “Do outsiders not know that he has been captured by the Heavenly Network?”

You Mingyu laughed . “Looks like you already know . But Heavenly King Shi did not give me any other instructions, nor did he assign you any tasks . ”
“Got it . ” Lu Shu realized that the Heavenly Network had done most of the preparations for him . As long as he was willing to do it, he could start immediately .
“Actually, have you considered this before? We are connected to many people when we carry out work overseas . There is a chance that if one prospers, everyone prospers but if one suffers, everyone suffers . Perhaps someone will die because of one of your decisions . But if we approach it from another angle, the stronger the person in this role, the fewer the people who will be sacrificed . ” You Mingyu softly said, “The task will not change . If you and I do not go, someone else will go, because that is our mission . But if an expert like you takes on the task, you would be able to save a few lives that would otherwise be sacrificed . Am I right?”
“Yes . I’ll take my leave first . ” Lu Shu turned and walked away while waving goodbye .
You Mingyu stood behind Lu Shu in silence . He could understand what Lu Shu was thinking . Back then, his colleague, who was a planted agent, was sacrificed in order to help Lu Shu obtain information . You Mingyu also felt very remorseful .
It was easier said than done . No one could be completely cold-hearted while standing in that position .
Lu Shu did not have a computer at home . After he received a new USB, he bought a laptop . When he plugged in the USB, the Darkness Kingdom website popped up automatically .
Lu Shu had not seen this website for a long time . He first clicked on the trading page and found many strange items . All the items that the Darkness Kingdom officials had pinned on the page were fruits that could allow people to undergo awakenings . Some of the fruits were labeled to have awakening properties, while others were still unknown . Out of those whose awakening properties were known, the most common ones were still the elemental fruits . There were also a few unique ones like lightning fruits .
These fruits could only be exchanged with rare items . They did not accept cash or magical stones . From this, one would understand the large organizations’ attitude towards cash and magical stones when handling such first-rate items .
Lu Shu browsed the demands of these vendors . Most demanded for rare items of equal value . Some even specifically requested for mythical objects with weapon spirits .
He suddenly realized that he still had two fruits from the Salt Lake relics .
Back then, he had lied that the plant produced refresher fruit in order to give Chen Baili the refresher fruits . But in reality, this was not the case .
He had awakened his water-type abilities after eating one of the fruits, but he did not eat the rest . The core of the fruit he had eaten was still in the Seal of Lands .
All along, he had been hesitating whether he wanted to feed the fruits to Lu Xiaoyu . Back then, he had almost lost consciousness when the water-type abilities assimilated with him . This made Lu Shu understand that the fruit was not suitable for those with stronger abilities .
One had to proceed in sequence when awakening other types of abilities . When he ate a Class C fruit, the water-type abilities were so powerful that they directly advanced to Class C . People usually went in the order of Class F, Class E, Class D and Class C, but Lu Shu had skipped these levels . Thus, his body could not bear the assimilation process .
If he had eaten a Class B fruit, he probably would have died .
