After Lu Luo turned around, Chu Qi also saw the headless corpse of the ghoul. She looked a little startled and uncertain.
"Lu Luo, are you okay?"
"There's one ghost left."
Lu Luo didn't say whether he was okay or not. He just clutched his wound, sensing the air around him, trying to find Yuan Jingkong.
"A ghost?"
"Yeah, a ghost named Yuan Jingkong. He's gone now, maybe he escaped?"
Lu Luo didn't detect Yuan Jingkong's presence nearby, and the Observer didn't give any hints. It seemed he had truly fled.
After hearing Lu Luo's words, Chu Qi felt even more uneasy.
"You fought a deformed creature and a ghost by yourself and actually survived?"
"It wasn't one deformed creature; there were two ghouls, and I killed them both. As for the ghost, I couldn't do anything about it.
And it wasn't just me; I was with Brother Kai."
Hearing Lu Luo admit it, Chu Qi was even more speechless. She had clearly come to help, but now it seemed she hadn't been of any help at all?
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's cooked."
"Uh?"
Chu Qi realized Lu Luo was teasing her, but she still wanted to make up for something. It wasn't easy for the company to nurture so many sponsored students and have one like Lu Luo.
"Lu Luo, listen to me. Blue Sky Bio-Tech isn't what you imagine. On behalf of the company, I apologize for what happened today…"
["It's not what you think." How familiar those words are. The playboy often says them.]
"There's no need to explain so much. I'm fine here. If you really want to help, then go find Brother Kai."
Lu Luo picked up the ghoul's corpse and walked straight into his room. Chu Qi followed him.
Chu Qi frowned deeply. Lu Luo's attitude made her realize that even if she helped Lu Luo this time, he wouldn't join Blue Sky Bio-Tech.
However, she still chose to continue helping Lu Luo. If Lu Luo truly killed those two ghouls, his talent… "I never thought you and Zhou Kai would become friends."
Lu Luo smirked.
"Nonsense, Brother Kai and I have bled together."
This sentence might have been a joke before, but now it had come true, and it could be used to tease Chu Qi in front of him.
Chu Qi's expression was a bit awkward. She nodded at Lu Luo.
"Alright, I'll go find Zhou Kai. You take care of your wounds. Also, I'm extremely sorry about this incident."
As Chu Qi was about to leave, Lu Luo called out to her again.
"Hey, wait. An apology doesn't mean much. Give me something substantial. Do you have any Dark Spirit Stones? One gram will do."
Dark Spirit Stone was the only thing Lu Luo needed to synthesize the Blade of Resentful Spirits.
Previously, his idea was to find Gu Fangyi and get it from him, because Gu Fangyi was quite strong and proficient in using dark energy, so he likely had Dark Spirit Stones.
But now that Chu Qi was here, it was clearly a better option. Lu Luo actually didn't care about the apology Chu Qi showed them.
Compared to an apology, he was more willing to exchange that apology for something substantial, such as a Dark Spirit Stone.
Chu Qi frowned. Dark Spirit Stones were very expensive, but she guessed Lu Luo might need them to restore his dark energy.
In the end, Chu Qi didn't refuse Lu Luo. The company had already fallen out with Lu Luo because of Song Hana. At this moment, she wanted to make up for it as much as possible, so she took out a small bottle.
"Here are 3 grams of Dark Spirit Stones. You can use them for now."
"Boss… Ahem, thank you. You go ahead."
[Blind guess, what you wanted to say just now was 'Generous boss!'?]
Lu Luo remained silent in his heart. Nonsense, besides remaining silent, was he supposed to admit it?
When he was a detective, whenever a client gave him extra compensation, he would usually say, "Generous boss!" This had become a professional habit.
"Okay, then be careful, Lu Luo."
"Hey, wait again. Do you have a mobile phone?"
"Yes, here. Do you need anything else?"
"No, thank you, boss… Take care!"
Chu Qi placed the 3 grams of Dark Spirit Stones and a mobile phone on the table, then left directly.
[From a purely objective bystander's perspective, honestly, truly, this girl is alright, except for her small chest.]
"Yeah, aside from her small chest, she's alright. It's a pity we're not on the same path, and we can't play together.
And once I get rid of Blue Sky Bio-Tech and join the Hunters, I'll be able to get free services at clubs, so girls and stuff won't matter anymore."
Lu Luo tossed the two ghoul corpses into the corner, and with a slight movement of his palm, black threads extended from his palm.
"Let's begin."
[You are devouring the life energy of a second-order deformed creature. You have gained 1 sequence point and 144 energy points.]
[You are devouring the life energy of a second-order deformed creature. You have gained 1 sequence point and 147 energy points.]
The two ghouls provided Lu Luo with 291 energy points and 2 sequence points, which was quite satisfying.
As second-order deformed creatures, ghouls were still much weaker and had much less energy compared to the unknown deformed creature in the exhibition hall.
His unactivated sequence D-03 - Robust, currently lacked 10 sequence points. As long as he gained a few more sequence points, he could get another free talent, which was great.
Then there was the energy points. Although Lu Luo really wanted to directly invest in Strength 5 and see if he would awaken a new talent in terms of strength, he ultimately calmed down.
The danger was not yet over, and he needed a powerful weapon like the Blade of Resentful Spirits to raise his combat power ceiling and deal with ghosts.
The remaining energy points still needed to be used flexibly to deal with various unexpected situations that might arise. So, he couldn't use any of those 291 energy points.
Lu Luo took out the synthesized weapons he had put away earlier and placed them one by one on the table.
"Synthesize - Blade of Resentful Spirits."
[Blade of Resentful Spirits Synthesis: Zhang Zhe's Pocket Watch + Sleeping Witch's Hair + Deformed Creature's Hand Bone + 1 gram of Dark Spirit Stone + 249 energy points]
Lu Luo's hand released the characteristic white light of a Fuser, which enveloped all four items, then gradually merged them together into a dormant ball of light. .
[Fuser has begun synthesis. Please wait patiently for 300 seconds.]
"5 minutes, huh, that's alright."
During this interval of item synthesis, Lu Luo immediately picked up the phone and dialed the only number he remembered, but the voice from the receiver was like this:
"Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unreachable. Please try again later! Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unreachable…"
Listening to this voice, clearly a man faking a woman's voice, Lu Luo was a bit speechless. He was the captain of the Demon Hunters, couldn't he act more professionally?
"Hey! Rudy, I have an urgent matter to discuss with you right now."
"Plane, hey, four of a kind, I win! Pay up, pay up!"
Listening to the occasional sounds of card playing, Lu Luo was furious, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do. It was indeed difficult to find an old fox like Rudy during non-working hours. He shouted into the phone:
"If you wait any longer, you'll only be collecting my corpse."
This time, the other end of the phone finally gave a different response.
"Are you really that miserable?"
"Come on, the people of the wasteland need you."
"Alright, alright, you guys play. Some idiot needs my help, I'm off."
Someone's card buddy: "Which idiot? It's already past midnight and they're still bothering you, no sense of timing at all."
Rudy: "Sigh, no choice, the people of the wasteland need me after all."
Rudy's voice was very smug. Lu Luo listened silently as Rudy bragged to his card buddies. How could he be in a good mood after being called an idiot?
[The great Observer Sequence intercepted an important piece of information from their conversation just now: the 'idiot' they mentioned is you!]
Damn, was it necessary to repeat that?
