Chapter 450 [Seed of Doom], Dropping Out of School

The profiteer Chikino loaded Lu Yuan with a total of eighteen pieces of bismuth iron waste.

Now, these ferro-bismuth waste mines, which in the eyes of outsiders are not even garbage, have all been turned into actual refined ferro-bismuth.

"Although it has not been tested, the purity should be very high."

Lu Yuan walked up and picked up a metal block and looked at it in front of his eyes.

This is the product that he sifted out after swallowing and absorbing the waste ferro-bismuth ore, and tried to retain only the ferro-bismuth material in it. It is definitely incomparable to the ferro-bismuth that has been smelted through professional processes.

After all, it was just a piece of metal that he randomly kneaded into shape. It was absolutely unqualified in terms of strength, hardness, and toughness.

but.

If it is only used as a raw material for forging materials, this thing is definitely of considerable value.

“That’s not really the point.”

Lu Yuan threw away the black metal block in his hand and returned his attention to himself.

Immerse your mind and look inside yourself.

It can be seen that inside Lu Qiyuan's body, the core tissue of flesh and blood that belongs to the main body is slightly stronger than before.

rare.

But recovery does occur.

"The body fat of the worms in the bismuth iron waste mine contains rich life energy, which is what I need most to restore my body."

Lu Yuan checked.

This creature mainly feeds on plant juices and has a huge appetite.

A single insect the size of a fingernail, if allowed to eat, could eat up a virgin forest covering an area of ​​hundreds of hectares.

With so much plant essence condensed in the body of a small insect, you can imagine how much life energy it contains.

Even if the life energy in the body of the dead source insect is greatly lost, the remaining part is still considerable.

In fact, the ingredients of many health care drugs on the market today are extracted from the bodies of the worms, but they use live worms. No one will extract the corpses of the worms, let alone melt them into bismuth metal ore. The body fat gel in it.

"There are too many impurities and they are highly toxic."

"But it's not a problem for me."

Lu Yuan inherited the [Devouring] talent from the Soul Devouring Clan and could swallow almost anything, even a little bit of poison.

The impurities and toxins extracted from the waste mines all accumulated in Lu Yuan's body, condensing into a small twisted black spot.

"In the process of devouring and evolving, the Soul Devourers will accumulate a large amount of 'waste' that is useless to the main body."

For these 'waste', the Soul Devouring Clan has already found ways to make use of them.

Opening the main panel of [Spirit Devouring. Gods and Demons (Super Mythical)], you can clearly see that there is a new skill under the [Devouring] skill that has been upgraded to lv2.

lv1 [Seed of Doom]!

Also known as the "bad seed".

These "seeds of misfortune" contain extremely terrifying toxicity. Once they enter a living body, they will cause great harm and destruction.

Because it is generated from the body of the Soul Devouring Tribe, it is controlled by the person who created it.

Therefore, among the Soul Eater clan, the "Seed of Doom" is usually used as a powerful means of control.

A "seed of doom" can transform a rebellious opponent into a loyal servant.

"Some are like the life and death talismans used by villains in martial arts and fantasy novels in previous lives. If you don't obey the three corpse brain pills, you will die without a whole corpse. If you don't want to die, you have to be a dog for me."

Lu Yuan looked at the effect of "Seed of Misfortune" and couldn't help but sigh.

It has to be said that the talent of the Soul Devourers is indeed too powerful.

This race has evolved to a very perfect level.

His abilities and methods in all aspects are extremely abnormal. No wonder he calls himself the Lord of All Spirits and the King of All Races.

“Because each Soul Devourer has a different process of devouring and growing, and the ‘recipes’ are different, the effects of the ‘Seed of Doom’ produced are also very different.

Some seeds of misfortune can damage the body, and some can even corrode the soul.

The later the stage, the more terrifying and powerful the power of the ‘Seed of Doom’ becomes.”

Lu Yuan took a look at his [Seed of Misfortune]. It was only the size of a grain of rice and had just been generated. The level experience was also very low.

"I don't know how effective this 'seed of misfortune' will be. I'll find someone to plant it later and give it a try."

“Following the ability to devour evolution, there are also means to control people.

Eh. It seems like he is becoming more and more like a villain."

Lu Yuan continued to observe the core of his body.

“Finally a feasible recovery route has been found.

Bismuth metal waste ore, as long as there is a large amount of bismuth metal waste ore, my strength can be restored quickly."

It would be better to have live source insects.

However, live worms are as expensive as those health care medicines on the market that contain the essence of life.

Lu Yuan had thought about starting from this point at the beginning, and he just asked Lu Feng casually when he was at Ellis Market.

He had already studied it, and now on the market, any medicine that had anything to do with replenishing life essence was priced at more than 10,000 soul coins.

As for Lu Qiyuan, the second generation of the nobility, the total private money in his hands was only tens of thousands of Duo Ling coins.

For an average family, tens of thousands of dollars seems like a lot.

But in aristocratic circles, what can this little money do?

Nothing can be done.

It might be all spent on going out for a meal.

Even if Lu Yuan buys the cheapest potion, he can only buy two or three, which is not enough for him to stuff between his teeth.

"Although Lu Lingfeng was strict with Lu Qiyuan, Lu Qiyuan's mother had always been extremely doting on him and never lacked pocket money.

It’s just that Lu Qiyuan spent all his money on pursuing Weniya and the game.”

The top-level mecha skins in the warehouse on the mecha virtual battle platform are the best evidence.

Lu Qiyuan would think of running out to pick up shooting stars in the wild in the middle of the night. The fundamental reason was that he had no money in his pocket and could not afford to buy other gifts for Weinia.

"But if it weren't for this guy's lavish spending and his dog-licking attributes, I wouldn't have had the chance to be 'reborn' with his body."

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that Lu Qiyuan's "waste" was quite good, and he should be "waste".

"Then the only problem now is the source of bismuth metal waste mines."

Although bismuth metal ore is less valuable than garbage, it is not something you can buy just because you want to.

Duoling vs. Abandoned Mine

And even if you can buy it casually, you will continue to buy a large amount of bismuth metal waste ore for a long time, and these bismuth metal waste ore will eventually disappear.

Anyone who is not a fool will definitely be able to tell that something is wrong.

"I need a place that is stable and hidden so that consuming the waste mines will not attract anyone's attention."

"It would be best to have a way to sell the extracted bismuth metal and convert it into money."

While Lu Yuan was thinking, he casually called up his optical brain and began to inquire about the main distribution of bismuth metal-producing resource planets in the Duoling Empire, the distribution of waste mines and garbage stars, the distribution of origin-breathing insects, etc.

After searching, I made an unexpected discovery.

"Eh?!"

Lu Yuan looked at a piece of related information pushed to him by big data, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Is it such a coincidence?!"

"Then this matter will be easier to handle."

Surrounded by green shade, young men and women walked together in twos and threes on the quiet and beautiful avenue.

Most of the men wear slim-fitting dark blue jackets with golden patterns on the collar and cuffs, making them noble and handsome.

The woman wears a knee-length waist-cinching dress with white lace on the skirt, making her look dignified yet elegant.

This is the Shield of Duoling, one of the best aristocratic colleges in Metropolis 2045.

At this time, in a huge building with a white spire, in a room with a beautiful ruby ​​inlaid on the wall at the door, several men and women with outstanding looks and elegant temperament were standing or sitting, chatting and laughing quietly.

Suddenly, a figure hurried in from outside the door.

While running, he shouted loudly: "Big news! Big news!..."

The people chatting in the classroom were all unconsciously attracted by the visitor's shouts.

"What's the big news?"

A handsome red-haired young man with a nose ring and earrings, half leaning on his seat, lazily asked the boy who suddenly rushed in.

The latter took a few breaths, raised his finger to point to a personal terminal similar to a pocket watch in his hand, and said quickly: "Didn't you read the message I sent in the group?

Lu Qiyuan, the popular ‘love saint’ who attended school some time ago, dropped out of school today! "

"Drop out of school?!"

Everyone in the classroom was stunned.

Immediately someone burst out laughing.

"Haha, this kid pretended to be sick and hid at home for more than half a month, but in the end he still couldn't hold back and chose to drop out of school!"

“I don’t want to come to school anymore.

Who wants to be treated as a joke wherever they go?"

Another person laughed and sighed.

The red-haired young man who was the first to ask could not help but stand up when he heard the news, then hugged the girl on the seat next to him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lu Qiyuan to drop out of school, tsk tsk...

Speaking of which, the cause of this incident is still because of you, Vinya, can't you go and comfort him now? "

Being hugged by the red-haired young man, the girl named Viniya has long wavy rose-red hair, skin as white as milk, and blue eyes. She looks very beautiful and elegant.

Facing the red-haired young man's teasing, she looked calm and said calmly: "

What does it have to do with me? He and I are not even friends.

The reason why he is like this now is not because of his own wishful thinking and self-inflicted consequences."

"What a cold woman. Lu Qiyuan doesn't know how sad he will be when he hears these words."

The red-haired young man sighed sympathetically, then suddenly changed the subject. He moved closer to Vinia, put his mouth against her fair and delicate earlobe, blew air and said: "Then someone else will have to buy breakfast for us later.

You know, I've never been able to eat school food."

Viniya's cheeks turned red at the red-haired young man's unobtrusive and intimate gesture, and her body twisted slightly involuntarily, as if she felt very uncomfortable.

But in the end, he lowered his head and said softly, "Yeah."

Several people nearby looked at the two of them with smiles, as if they were used to this.

“..never came.

Since that incident, Xu Mingguang has never been to school.

His family has come twice, but it was very early, and they haven’t seen him in recent times. I heard that the school can’t contact his family.”

At the gate of Duolingshishi Academy, two tall and strong young men with a tuft of green hair on their foreheads stood in front of Lu Yuan, answering his questions.

They were the only two "friends", or followers, of the predecessor Lu Qiyuan in Duolingshield.

"Okay, I get it."

After hearing the two people's answers, Lu Yuan nodded and planned to leave.

But the two couldn't help but ask: "Qiyuan, are you really planning to drop out of school?!"

Lu Yuan stopped turning around and looked back at the two people's faces, which were complicated and vaguely reluctant. His attitude towards them softened a little.

Lu Yuan nodded and answered.

"Yes."

"Where will you go after dropping out? Golden Thorn Flower? Or Red Eagle?"

The two people said several names of colleges similar to the Shield of Duoling, but Lu Yuan just shook his head.

"Nowhere, I plan to recuperate for half a year."

The two were stunned, but soon reacted and nodded: "Okay, wait until this matter is completely settled, and then you can come back. No one will remember it by then."

As they were talking, they found that Lu Yuan had waved to them, and then turned around and walked away.

The words of comfort in the two people's mouths stopped abruptly. Looking at Lu Yuan's gradually recuperating back, they opened their mouths and remained silent.

"It seems that he really ran away."

Lu Yuan walked on the spacious and clean entrance square of the Shield of Duoling, with a calm expression.

He came to the school in person today to handle the withdrawal procedures. To be more precise, he asked two followers of his predecessor Lu Qiyuan to inquire about Xu Mingguang's news. The result was the same as he expected.

He is now very sure that Xu Mingguang will not appear again.

He even suspected that Xu Mingguang's family was held hostage or dead.

Otherwise, he would not have given up his work and studies.

He estimated that when the disappearance of Xu Mingguang's family continued to ferment over time, someone would suspect their Lu family.

Indeed, if Xu Mingguang's family really had an accident, he, who had just had a "tangle" with Xu Mingguang, was the most suspicious at this stage.

"Forget it, let's put the Rubik's Cube aside for now. The most urgent thing is to solve the problem at hand.

My strength has recovered, so I don't have to worry about not being able to find it back."

Lu Yuan made up his mind and stopped thinking about the golden Rubik's Cube for the time being. He took one step at a time according to his own plan.

Just thinking, suddenly.

"Swoosh--"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded from behind his head, and Lu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he instinctively turned his body to the side.

"Bang!"

A circle of small transparent ripples appeared on the body of the hovercraft not far in front of Lu Yuan, and a stone rolled to the ground, and Lu Feng's figure appeared silently beside the hovercraft.

Lu Yuan turned around and looked coldly in the direction where the stone was thrown.

He saw that more than ten meters away from him, a slim and beautiful girl with a ponytail was "glaring" at him fiercely.

She was wearing the school uniform of the Duoling Shield, and was obviously also a student of the academy.

"Where is Xu Mingguang's family now? Tell me!

I warn you, Lu Qiyuan, don't go too far!"

Lu Yuan listened to the girl's gnashing threats and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He just said that the disappearance of Xu Mingguang's family would easily make people suspect him, but he didn't expect that someone who knew Xu Mingguang would jump out and ask him to hand over the person.

Judging from the girl's appearance, dress and temperament, she seemed to be from an aristocratic family. It was strange that Xu Mingguang had such a "confidante" in school.

Lu Yuan did not intend to reply to the girl's words. He glanced at her casually and turned away.

The girl wanted to catch up, but was pulled away by two girls in school uniforms.

From a distance, she could still vaguely hear her shouting "It must be him!" "Even if it's not him, he can't get away from it" "Asshole" and so on.

Walking to the front of the hovercraft, Lu Yuan saw Lu Feng, the bodyguard, looking at him with a strange expression.

I don't know if it was because he had just dodged the girl's attack, or because he was calm in the face of the other party's bad words.

"Let's go."

Lu Yuan ignored Lu Feng's eyes and directly asked him to leave.

The latter didn't say anything and nodded.

Soon, the hovercraft took off lightly, drew a beautiful arc and flew away quickly.
