Free Web NovelChapter 1704: Chapter 1706: Eating Meat
Lu Xiaobu drank for three days and three nights at the Lu Group. Naturally, with his current physique, he couldn’t get drunk, so the result was that he drank until all ten thousand people were knocked out.
The entire Lu Group was filled with people lying around drunk, making for a spectacular scene.
Everyone was drunk, yet everyone was also awake.
They just looked at that man, looking and looking, becoming increasingly clear-minded.
But then again, as they watched, they became more and more confused.
It was hazy, as if it was something seen in a dream.
"Young Master Bu, I’m a bit confused," Dawa sat up straight, looking at Lu Xiaobu, saying somewhat dazedly.
"What’s wrong? Why are you confused?" Lu Xiaobu looked at him.
"I don’t know... just feel awkward!" Dawa shook his head, "Before, I only had one goal, to make our company bigger and stronger! To make you the richest in the nation, the richest in the world! To make our army of ten thousand go out with heads held high!"
"Didn’t we achieve that?" Lu Xiaobu said with a smile.
"We did!" Erwa nodded, looking around proudly, "Of course, we did! We’re all proud of it!"
"But over these three months, it feels like something is missing..." Sanwa also smiled wryly, "No, I should say three days ago, when you came back, that feeling became stronger!"
"Sanwa, are you out of your mind?! The Young Master came back and you actually say something is missing?" Siwa scolded angrily, then scratched his head, "But, Young Master, he’s right!"
Wuwa kicked Siwa away with one blow.
"The era has changed, Spiritual Energy has rejuvenated, everyone has become a Superpower User, and the surroundings have gradually turned into a might-makes-right world, we seem to have no use anymore," Liuwa scratched his head, smiling wryly, "I even feel like I should retire!"
"Old Liu, if you want to retire, just get out, we don’t want to!" Qiwa cursed with a laugh, "Do you want President Liang to process your resignation now?"
"Get lost! I was just using a figure of speech, who took it seriously!" Liuwa got angry.
"I see now, you guys are like wolves eating too much meat, suddenly having some vegetarian days, and now your stomachs are acting up, right?" Lu Xiaobu joked with a smile.
"Hehe!"
A group of people laughed awkwardly!
That’s exactly what they meant!
From the day their title of Iron Cavalry was founded, they were meat eaters, and big chunks of meat at that!
They kept eating until they were at the top of the food chain, eating whoever and whatever they wanted!
The pride and satisfaction made them deeply intoxicated and they indulged in it!
However, within just three months, a new era began, and they suddenly found they couldn’t have meat anymore, to be precise, the meat that originally should have been theirs was taken by others!
Superpower Users!
What was once thought to be a name existing in novels suddenly became something familiar to everyone!
Moreover, they not only appeared but also occupied the mainstream, their title of ten thousand Iron Cavalry had weakened, those so-called Superpower Users actually dared to snatch meat from their bowls!?
How could they bear it?!
But they had no choice but to endure, because Superpower Users are ultimately few in number, and it depends on talent, not something achievable by hard work or resources alone!
After all, when it comes to resources, all the Superpower Users’ resources in the world combined wouldn’t compare to theirs!
They were resorting in places like the Medicine King Valley!
They used to think of themselves as Great Heroes, soaring to the skies and returning to the peak!
But reality is harsh!
The vast majority of them remained extraordinarily ordinary!
Even President Liang had to swallow his pride to protect them?!
The sense of gap and suffocating reality made them all feel a sense of confusion, especially when the Young Master returned and they lost even the goal of protecting the Lu Group, that sense of confusion became even more pronounced!
They seemed to have become parasites on the Lu Group, or rather, burdens on the Young Master, not only sucking blood but also holding them back!
Was this what their ten thousand Iron Cavalry was meant to do?
Ten thousand Iron Cavalry, or ten thousand burdens?!
Or were they like ten thousand zoo monkeys waiting to be fed?!
Coming from one miracle after another, climbing over one mountain after another, having gained everything from the Young Master, they didn’t want to become like this, they really didn’t!
They were the ten thousand Iron Cavalry, they were the meat-eating ten thousand wolves!
Hence, this silent banquet took place!
Because they didn’t know what to say, or how to cross this divide, how to make themselves useful!
"Let me tell you all a story." Lu Xiaobu said, shaking his wine bottle, "Maybe I shouldn’t call it a story, more accurately, it’s a report, a report on where I’ve been these three months!"
Hearing this, everyone sat up, tipsy yet intently listening.
"I went to another world." Lu Xiaobu’s opening shocked the ten thousand Iron Cavalry!
So, there really were other worlds?!
"That world is vast, truly vast," Lu Xiaobu stood up, "There it’s a world of cultivators, and besides that big world, many smaller worlds like ours are connected to it!"
"There, people are just like in the novels we read, many can fly through the sky and go underground, some even become immortal!"
"And I plan to seize some territory there!"
At this, the breath of the ten thousand Iron Cavalry became a bit heavier!
As mentioned before, these guys had long since turned into a pack of wolves, meat-eating wolves!
Lu Xiaobu’s words were like a wolf king speaking to his pack—look! Quickly look! I discovered a pasture, there are tens of thousands of sheep, cows, and horses there waiting for us to feast on!
Tell me, after saying this to a pack of wolves, could they not be drooling?!
Lu Xiaobu looked at the gaze of these people, honestly a bit amazed.
He had originally thought those who wanted to come expand with him could, and those who didn’t want to could stay home comfortably.
Yet now, looking at them, why did they all seem so bloodthirsty?
Had he misunderstood?
"Young Master, don’t you know what kind of people you’ve brought up?" Liang Lan smiled.
Her gaze fell on the pack of wolves, "You led them, took them out of the ordinary life of a normal person, showed them a higher world, more distant mountains, and more beautiful scenery!"
"They are no longer merely existing for the sake of living; you have given them everything they needed—wealth, fame, glory, emotion—so they thirst for higher peaks, more beautiful sceneries, more distant worlds!"
"They’ve found something of higher pursuit!"
"And what is that?" Lu Xiaobu asked with a smile.
"They wish to leave a mark in the annals of history! They want to go further with you! To the ends of the world!" Liang Lan said fervently.
"Hahaha! I underestimated everyone!" Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily, "Well then! Everyone, are you willing to follow me into a world full of monsters, to carve out our territory?!"
