In a quite high-end coffee shop, several girls were sitting together by the window, chattering.
The table in front of a few people was messily filled with all kinds of handmade snacks that looked exquisite and expensive.
A girl with short black hair wearing a necklace studded with fine colored diamonds around her neck and with exquisite makeup curled her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "What time is it, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
"I'm still on the road. I just sent a message telling me that there was a traffic jam."
"Tsk, in what age can you still be stuck in traffic? You can find a decent excuse for it.
Can I come? If not, I can leave. I have something else to do in the afternoon."
The short-haired girl picked up a small and exquisite red bag and made a gesture of getting up and leaving.
But before she could take a step forward, she was grabbed by a girl next to her who was wearing heavy eye shadow and bright lip gloss, and her facial features and temperament were quite grand.
"Don't be anxious, sister. People are coming from District 30. Even if they are taking a spaceship, they still need some time.
Come on, let me see the photos."
The girl put her arms around the shoulders of the short-haired girl who looked unhappy, and said with a smile: "There is someone here who is definitely your type! She is the top student of Red Eagle.
In the future, you can join the reserve army of the Soul Court as soon as you graduate."
Perhaps hearing the words "Red Eagle" and "Lingting", the girl with short black hair moved her eyes slightly, her face that was originally full of displeasure softened slightly, and she reluctantly sat down again.
Just as several girls at the table were chatting enthusiastically about the date they were going to meet today, a girl in the corner of the small group who had lowered her head from the beginning and had no sense of presence seemed to have received something.
News, suddenly stood up.
"I, I, have something to do and I need to go out."
Several people stopped talking and looked at her doubtfully.
"Lu Qiyuan, what's wrong with you?"
The girl with short black hair who had just started to have some interesting conversation knocked on the table in dissatisfaction.
Lu Qiyuan didn't say a word, but just reached out to grab her bag on the seat next to her.
"What's going on, Yuanyuan?"
The girl with heavy make-up who played the role of the eldest sister among the group also asked.
"It's my brother"
A somewhat complicated and irritable expression flashed across Lu Qiyuan's face, and she replied: "I suddenly said that I am quitting school and want to go out to practice for half a year. I will go back and see what's going on."
"Oh, is it the brother with the same name as you?"
"Different name, just one character missing"
Lu Qiyuan corrected.
The girl with heavy makeup smiled and said: "I remember that you often complained about your younger brother, saying that he was stupid and unsatisfactory, and he always went against you.
Now that he is gone, it’s not a good time. He will no longer be popular in the future.”
"That's true, but"
Lu Qiyuan wanted to say, but that guy was his brother after all.
Although they were not born to the same mother, and the older she got, the more annoying she became, but she was still very attached to her sister when she was young, and over the years, the two of them have never been separated.
This was the first time in his life that he was traveling alone, and it would take more than half a year before he left. If he didn't go back now, he might not be able to see him one last time before he left.
"Nothing to worry about. Isn't this good news?"
The girl with heavy makeup asked Lu Qiyuan to sit down, then looked in the same direction, and said quickly: "Hurry up, sit down. Here comes Yuanyuan, you have never been in love before, right?
Pick first, and I’ll help you decide which one you like.”
"Uh-huh"
Lu Qiyuan was helpless and was pulled back to her seat.
The emotions that were brewing in my heart gradually disappeared when I saw a few tall and straight figures striding from the door of the coffee shop.
Forget it, I won’t go back.
When I met Lu Qiyuan, that brat would definitely put on a bad face and maybe even make some sarcastic remarks. He had not even given me an ugly and cheap big green scarf as a gift two days ago.
He is the one who wants to settle accounts with him. What is there about this kind of guy that deserves a special trip to say goodbye?
Lu Qiyuan thought to herself, silently dialing someone on her personal terminal, and choosing to ignore the call request of "Little Mom".
"Can't get through, maybe something is wrong"
On a wide lawn, a beautiful woman with a not so pretty face put down the communication terminal in her hand and turned to look at Lu Lingfeng.
"Then don't wait."
Lu Lingfeng said lightly, and then nodded slightly in a certain direction in front of him.
Hovering in front of the two of them, a silver-gray small spaceship shaped like a flat flying disk lit up its entire body and began to slowly take off.
Somewhere at the lower end of the spacecraft, a young man could be seen waving slowly towards the two of them.
On the lawn, tears suddenly came out of the beautiful woman's eyes.
It wasn't until the silver-gray spaceship melted into the sky and completely disappeared from sight that the beautiful woman's temporarily out-of-control emotions slowly returned to normal.
"Qiyuan has grown up, and this is the first time he has left us and gone to such a far place alone."
The beautiful woman stared at the direction the spacecraft was leaving and murmured in a low voice.
"There is a first time for everything. You can't keep him by your side forever."
Lu Lingfeng paused and then said: "I'm quite surprised that this guy can make such a decision.
I don’t know if I am really sensible this time, or if I have changed my ways and acted nonsense.”
"No matter how silly he is, he is still your son.
Even if you want to train him, you shouldn't let him go to such a far place alone and stay there for more than half a year."
The beautiful woman turned to look at Lu Lingfeng, with a worried look on her face.
"What if we meet a star thief on the way? When we arrive at a place where he is not familiar with the place and he is young, he will definitely be bullied."
"Okay, stop thinking nonsense."
Lu Lingfeng said calmly: "I specially asked him to set off with the Yongri Chamber of Commerce's fleet, so even if he encounters a star thief, he will be fine.
I've already said hello to people over at Lilva Star, and Lu Feng is following him, so there won't be any problems."
"I know you are thinking carefully, but what if something happens? We only have one son."
The beautiful woman gritted her teeth and said, "Can you find a place for him to stay, maybe closer to us?"
"You have to ask him about that.
Lilva was the planet he himself designated to go to."
Lu Lingfeng thought for a while and said: "It's better to let him suffer some hardships alone, otherwise he will always look like he has not grown up.
Moreover, in fact, even if he doesn't ask for it this time, I am still prepared to send him out to avoid the limelight."
When the beautiful woman heard what Lu Lingfeng said, her expression suddenly tightened and she couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Lu Lingfeng looked calm and replied: "It's nothing.
There was something wrong with Lu Hui.
She just said hello to me two days ago and asked me to make some preparations."
"Lu Hui?!"
The beautiful woman was startled when she heard this name.
"Did something happen to Lu Hui at Guangming's house?"
The beautiful woman is not very familiar with the name Lu Hui.
All I know is that she is Lu Lingfeng's biological sister, and she married into the family of a top noble in Duoling a long time ago.
There are many rules in a wealthy family, and it is impossible to have the freedom of ordinary people after entering.
So after so many years of marriage to Lu Lingfeng, she had only seen him a few times.
She basically knew about this sister-in-law from Lu Lingfeng.
According to Lu Lingfeng's description, Lu Hui's talents and talents were extremely outstanding, more than a hundred times better than his brother.
“It’s a good thing”
Lu Lingfeng paused and continued: "But it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Just in case.
If something really happens, we might be implicated, so if we make preparations in advance and send Qiyuan out, we can feel more at ease."
"It sounds nice to say that I am connected to a famous family, but after so many years, I have not benefited from her at all.
Something happens now, but we have to bear the risk together."
The beautiful woman couldn't help but complain.
"Shut up."
Lu Lingfeng frowned, looked at the beautiful woman and scolded her coldly: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know something.
Do you think that all aspects of our family's business have been so smooth these past few years, all because of our good luck?"
"ah?!"
Only then did the beautiful woman understand the connection, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Lu Lingfeng's face softened slightly and he said calmly: "Okay, just understand some things in your heart.
Remember, Lu Hui and we will always be close relatives connected by blood.
Even if we can't help us much now, when Qiyuan grows up in the future, we will inevitably have to trouble her."
"Um."
The beautiful woman nodded obediently.
The two of them stood on the lawn, looked quietly in the direction of the previous spaceship for a while, and then snuggled together and turned to leave.
“Finally left this place”
On the spaceship, Lu Yuan looked at Metropolis 2045, which was getting smaller and smaller in the field of vision and gradually turned into a luminous planet, and felt a little relaxed in his heart.
In the Lu family, although Lu Lingfeng never showed up very often, no one restricted their freedom too much.
But there is always a feeling of uneasiness all over.
Perhaps it was the remnants of Lu Qiyuan's awe for Lu Lingfeng, his majestic father, that he had grown up in.
Now that I'm away from the Lu family, I feel a lot more relaxed.
"It was smoother than I expected. Lu Lingfeng agreed directly. I thought it would cost a lot more money."
It seems that he quite abides by the father-son agreement."
Lu Yuan stood in the front cabin of the spacecraft, looking at the vast starry sky twinkling in the darkness outside the ship, thinking to himself.
Nobility can be supported by more than just a title or title conferred by the empire.
Both the glamorous appearance and the superior demeanor require real money to maintain.
Most aristocratic families will have their own fixed properties, and the Lu family is no exception.
Aristocratic families of the same level, depending on their financial income, can enjoy vastly different benefits in all aspects.
It is actually not too unusual for someone to have the noble title of Viscount on his head, but his status in the circle and the pomp when he goes out are not as good as that of a small baron.
You can't require everyone to have an excellent business mind.
But if you don't know how to do business, you can't keep the property left by your ancestors well, and you can't make money, you will naturally have nothing to do but sit back and eat.
Lu Yuan felt that he should feel lucky.
Although cheap daddy Lu Lingfeng is not a business wizard, he is still much better than the average person in running the family business.
The business owned by the Lu family is very complex, involving many large and small weird industries.
However, the scale is generally very small, and it can only be said to make a small amount of money safely.
But ten cents and one hundred cents of small money add up to a considerable sum.
“You don’t need to take too many risks, and you don’t attract attention. You can make a fortune quietly and quietly in a low-key manner.
Gee, it doesn’t look like a business strategy that Lu Lingfeng could come up with.”
Lu Yuan made a rough estimate and discovered that, just based on what he knew, the Lu family, a third-class baron family, had a much richer family than he had imagined.
Fortunately, Lu Lingfeng still forced his predecessor Lu Qiyuan to work hard.
With this kind of family background, even if Lu Qiyuan remains a playboy for the rest of his life, he will never be defeated.
"Perhaps this is why Lu Lingfeng so readily agreed to let me go to Lilva Star alone to practice.
It doesn’t matter even if I finish the mining business over there.”
Lu Yuan looked out the window, with a faint light flashing in his eyes.
It was also by surprise that he discovered that the Lu family's subordinates actually had a metal mining business.
The planet Lilva he is going to on this trip is one of them.
The Lu family owns a two-hundred-year mining right to a small metal mine on that planet. This time, he went directly to parachute into the black-hearted mine owner.
"Although the metal ore in the hands of the Lu family is not bismuth metal ore, I checked and found that the main resources produced by Lilva Star include ferro-bismuth.
Wherever there is bismuth iron, there must be source insects, and where there are source insects, there will naturally be waste mines.”
Lu Yuan's trip to Lilva Planet this time was not just to use the waste mines contaminated by the source of breath insects to regain strength.
He also planned to collect rare metal materials to prepare for his next mecha.
"A level 4 Blue Falcon mecha can raise my combat effectiveness to level 4 or 5.
If I can devour and fuse a level 4 or 5 mecha, my combat power may be able to soar to level 7 or even level 8 in one breath."
He once had the fighting consciousness of a tenth-level star spirit realm expert, but what he lacked now was the corresponding hardware infrastructure.
As long as the hardware can keep up, combat effectiveness will naturally increase quickly.
"Furthermore, the most important item in the Soul Eater clan's inheritance - the creation of the Demon God's mechas - also requires a large amount of precious cosmic metal materials."
The Great Fallen Black Sky Ten Prison Demon God Machine Soldier
Lu Yuan could never forget the name of this heritage machine soldier even in his dreams.
Even if you close your eyes, you can recall the terrifying power of "Andusha" when he summoned that terrifying mecha that looked like the arrival of a demon god.
"Andusa" can do it
Then he also has a chance to do it.
Just as he was thinking about it, a figure of a person appeared silently like a ghost in the reflection of the window in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan turned his head expressionlessly and saw Lu Feng, who was his "bodyguard", "nanny" and Lu Lingfeng's "eyes and ears" on this trip. He quietly said to himself: "Young Master, we are about to merge the merchants of the Yongri Chamber of Commerce."
Team."
In the dark starry sky in front of us, a huge fleet of brightly lit spaceships slowly appeared.
Lu Yuan said softly "Hmm".
Then I couldn't help but sigh softly in my heart.
If this guy Lu Feng didn't come along, this trip would really be perfect.
