Chapter 314 Xu Lu’s Internal Plot
Su Yang calculated that he now had three Bronze Quests to be collected on hand. This would allow him to draw three bronze abilities and also gain three bronze points.
He had planned to add a Bronze Point to his (Film & Television Post Production Ability], but changed his mind after mulling it over. He would draw all three bronze abilities at once and evaluate their pros and cons. Then, he’d eliminate the weakest ability and add the Bronze Point from that to his (Film & Television Post Production Ability).
With that settled, he’d draw all three bronze abilities tomorrow.
However, that wasn’t all.
He hadn’t redeemed this week’s recipe item yet, and he planned to do so while the [Lucky Disfiguring Brick] was in effect!
Since he was going to use a +4 material like a little monster bean corpse, the recipe item would definitely have an additional ability.
Then, based on his knowledge of Lucky Disfiguring Brick, he estimated that he might be able to randomly get a more useful additional ability!
He wanted to take advantage while he was lucky after using the brick to add 4 points at once.
With that in mind, Su Yang opened the system store and checked it out. He had 1517 points left.
He had seen the three items on Tuesday.
Random Points x 3.
Guardian talisman x 9.
Lipstick of Unknown Ability.
There was a reduction in the Random Points and Guardian Talisman because he wanted to add additional points to the circus and bought one of each.
Tapping on the Lipstick of Unknown Ability brought up its recipe. This time, the recipe for his special item seemed particularly normal.
+1 item x 1
Lipstick powder (random color)
Olive oil x 1.5g
Almond oil x 2g
Jojoba oil x 2g,
Beeswax x 1.2g,
Vitamin E x 1 tablet...
He knew it was particularly normal because he went online to look it up. These were the materials used to make lipstick!
‘Never would I have thought that the system would be so normal...’ Su Yang felt like it was a refreshing change for once.
Since he was planning to play a rather huge game by drawing three abilities and crafting a special item, Su Yang had to prepare in advance. If he didn’t make the necessary arrangements, the recipe item wouldn’t even be completed after half an hour.
So, he left the virtual space and planned to go to the boutique near the school to buy these ingredients. It was the boutique where Xu Lu worked part-time in the past. He vaguely seemed to remember the first time he went there and saw Xu Lu recommending something similar to Qu Xuan.
The weather in Shanghai was rather good that day, but was still a tad bit drier than the sultry heat. Although it was still quite hot, Su Yang felt like he had just left a steamer and jumped into a stir fry. ‘If I was an ingredient used in a dish, it’d taste much better...’
Arriving at the boutique, Su Yang pushed the open door and walked in. After the bell rang, a surprised voice from a girl was heard in Su Yang’s ear, “Su Yang? What are you doing here? Is it for me?”
Su Yang followed the sound and saw Xu Lu behind the cashier’s desk.
“Huh? It’s a holiday. Is she still working part-time?’
Su Yang didn’t really have too many thoughts about this girl who was just a year older than he was. To him, she was just a strangei
However, things won’t be solved just because you put it in the back of your mind. After all, fate is a fickle friend that liked to play tricks on people.
Su Yang accidentally got involved with Xu Lu in Longteng Jiayuan. Because of the investigation of her best friend Wang Shan’s death, the two of them became much closer.
After the holidays, Xu Lu always prodded him in an attempt to ask him out, making Su Yang feel like this senior sister had a crush on him...
‘Of course, the easiest misunderstanding in this world would be that she fancied me...’ Su Yang suppressed this thought in his heart, thinking that he was being too full of himself.
‘When I saw her, she still had those big wavy curls in her brown hair. Her face gave off a seductive charm that was both beautiful and exotic. Those seductive, peach-blossom eyes could kill a man by just staring at one.’ It shook Su Yang up quite a bit.
However, he returned to his senses and greeted Xu Lu, “Hello, senior sister. Didn’t you go home for the holidays?”
As he said that, Su Yang reflected to himself. ‘It’s not even spring yet. Why do I always seem to be particularly susceptible to temptation lately...
Xu Lu came over with a smile, her light waist swaying as if it were being blown by the wind. “I’ve been waiting for you, haven’t I.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘She’s messing with me, right? She’s got to be.’
Although he felt Xu Lu’s enthusiasm, Su Yang was still a bit uncomfortable with how much Xu Lu took the initiative to get closer to him. He laughed dryly. “Oh, oh. I’ve been a bit busy lately, so I don’t have much time.”
Xu Lu asked without moving a muscle, “Is it because of the company?”
Su Yang nodded. “Yes, I’m move involved in the company now since we’re making another movie.”
“A movie?” Xu Lu’s eyes lit up a bit.
Su Yang managed to catch a glimpse of her excitement but he wasn’t surprised. Seems like pretty girls always dream of becoming actresses or entering the entertainment industry.
‘Maybe they enjoyed the feeling of being sought after. Perhaps, they thought that they were on a similar standing to celebrities and wouldn’t be any less famous if they became an actress.
Unfortunately, Xu Lu didn’t have that thought as she curiously asked, “It takes a lot of money to make a movie, right?”
‘Money...?’ The circuits in Su Yang’s brain didn’t compute what she said at that moment as he casually replied, “Oh, no. Not much. It’s only five million.”
“Five million?” Xu Lu’s eyes were really sparkling this time.
It seemed like her eyes were filled in sparkling stars as she looked at Su Yang after he said that.
Su Yang felt a little uncomfortable from her stare. He had always felt like she looked at him like he was roasted chicken and she’d eat him in a single bite
‘It’s so scary...
‘Boys really need to protect themselves...’
He smiled dryly and replied, “Xu Lu, I need to buy something. You see...”
Saying that, he pointed at Xu Lu’s body that was blocking his way.
Xu Lu was more enthusiastic and bold than regular women. She didn’t even hesitate when she reached out and straddled his arms as she said enthusiastically, “Come, what do you want to buy? I’ll get it for you.”
The state they were in was rather... Ambiguous. He could feel her softness and as a result, he began blushing.
He was stiff all over and he was numb in the head as he went on to get the things he needed.
Xu Lu, on the other hand, pulled him along, took a shopping basket, put everything in it one by one, and went to the cashier to scan the items. Then, she handed them to Su Yang, “Here you go. What do you need all this stuff for?”
Su Yang received it while being spaced out and answered truthfully, “I’m making lipstick.” Xu Lu’s face didn’t change at all when she heard his answer. It was as if she had already guessed it.
She smiled coquettishly and said, “That’s nice. Then can you make one for me as well?”
Su Yang reflexively sensed that giving her lipstick would make it seem like he was interested so he replied, “This, isn’t...”
He didn’t expect that Xu Lu had already paid the money while he was saying that. She smiled and patted Su Yang on the shoulder. “Thank you, my junior. I’ve already paid for your items, so take care!”
Just like that, Su Yang was pushed out of the boutique by Xu Lu with a foggy head.
After taking two steps, he looked back and could still see Xu Lu standing at the entrance of the boutique, smiling and waving her hand at him.
He could only nod awkwardly before he began making his way back
Walking on the road, Su Yang was a little amused, although he was a little bitter as well. ‘What is this all about?!’
‘I’ve been rich before but even then, I just felt like I had more money. I didn’t feel like I had any benefits or experienced any troubles that came with money. It’s the first time I’ve been in such a situation and I’m at a loss...
‘I don’t think this will happen to me often in the future, right?’
Su Yang mulled it over and felt it was very likely to happen.
‘So... Money really is a good thing...’
Su Yang had no dislike for Xu Lu but she did worship money a bit. Stil, who didn’t like money in this world? Was it wrong to like money?
What’s more, the feeling of being ‘sought-after’ was rather good. That was why rich people don’t hate money worshipping people. It was better if they continued worshipping money so their influence would grow as their wealth grew. As he left, Xu Lu began turning around and went back into the boutique. Her face, which was more beautiful compared
e girls of her age, was gloomy, and she bit her lip with her brows furrowed as she whispered, “Lipstick? Who is he making lipstick for? Is it Chu Xia or that big-breasted female teacher of his?
“Ahhhhhhh!” Xu Lu squeezed the pen in her hands with all her might as her heart felt rather irritated. She felt like things weren’t going according to her plan since she had underestimated how wealthy and popular Su Yang would be!
Now that Su Yang seemed to be making lipstick for someone, it was clear that someone had cut her off and gotten Su Yang excited!
“Who the hell is that b*tch! No, I won’t admit defeat!”
As she thought in frustration, Xu Lu put down the pen in her hand and took care of Su Yang’s bill. Then, she took out her phone, opened the chat she had with Su Yang and sent him a message. (Su Yang, I called Wang Shan’s mom a few days ago. She said that Uncle’s injuries are healing fast since you gave her the money and he’s about to be discharged from the hospital. They’re really grateful to you).
After editing the WeChat message, Xu Lu read it twice. Once she confirmed that her message seemed fine, she sent it.
You had to know how to play around with feelings when chasing after men. After not seeing each other or being hot and cold for some time, not even talking about feelings, giving them some physical contact after a long period of separation would make them feel differently about you!
Although she didn’t have many relationships, she still had the knowledge of chasing after men carved into her bones. Xu Lu proudly smiled as she looked at the WeChat message she sent.
At the same time, Su Yang just happened to be walking back to his neighborhood when he heard a WeChat notification. Then, he brought out Little Di to have a look and smiled.
In fact, he had always thought he wasn’t a good person. He had always thought of himself as a selfish, ruthless bad guy.
Helping Wang Shan avenge her death caused him to black out after using the hourglass. However, it was really one of the few good things he had ever done. Knowing that the other party’s parent’s were doing wellmade him truly happy from the bottom of his heart.
He sent a WeChat back to Xu Lu. (That’s good. Thanks for today.)
Then, Su Yang put his phone back in his pocket and went home to start preparing the ingredients for the recipe.
Just as he was preparing, he received a call from the little bun, Li Zijun.
However, as soon as the phone was picked up, the anxious voice of Li Zijun was heard on the other side of the phone, “Mr. Su, go online and take a look! Something’s wrong!
