I am the one running the game

Chapter 725 Be careful, the protagonist is targeting you

"It really has increased to 10 billion."

"It shouldn't go up any further, it's time to reap the rewards." Looking at the reward for the abandoned village reaching a new high, Lu Xingshi called Huangfu Song without hesitation.

"Brother Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?" After the call was connected, Huangfu Song's voice was heard. The other party's voice sounded a little tired, as if he was overworked.

"Of course there is something wrong, and it's a good thing."

"The bounty for the abandoned village has reached 10 billion. Did you know about this?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"I'm not sure. I've been busy recently and don't have time to pay attention to these things."

"Why, brother, are you sure you can get rid of the half-dead ghost in this abandoned village? Are you ready to sell it to me?" Huangfu Song said jokingly.

"Choose one of the three life books. I want a complete and high-quality one." Lu Xingshi said.

After saying this, Huangfu Song was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to give it, but the Federation and the Destiny Organization have strict requirements and we really can't give it." Huangfu Song said helplessly.

"Then there's nothing to discuss." Lu Xingshi said indifferently: "I'm going to play with my life, not to go on a picnic."

"Ten times, 100 billion federal coins. You can pay 10 billion as a deposit first. Even if you can't get it done, the 10 billion will be used as medicine fees." Huangfu Song began to negotiate the terms.

"Oh, do you think I'm stupid? Federation currency is of limited use to fortune tellers."

"Don't even mention 100 billion, even 1000 billion is nothing but waste paper and a string of numbers to your Huangfu family."

"I am very sincere in my discussion." Lu Xingshi said.

"I will also give you, Brother Lu, the most expensive book of life in the forum." Huangfu Song put forward another condition. For him, anything that can be solved with federal currency is not a problem.

"It's still the same condition. I don't want any money."

"Judging from your attitude, the value of the fortune teller is far greater than these things, otherwise you would not continue to raise the price." Lu Xingshi continued to press on and refused to give in.

"I won't hide it from Brother Lu. You are right, but Brother Lu, you are not qualified."

"Even if I give it to you, Brother Lu, you won't be able to keep it, and your life may even be in danger."

"Only those from the Federation and the Destiny Organization can become a great fortune teller. Other fortune tellers will be hunted down if they get a complete fortune book or have the opportunity to become a great fortune teller." Huangfu Song warned Lu Xingshi.

What this means is that no matter how much you say it, you can’t give it to me.

If they gave it to him, not only would the Huangfu family suffer, but Lu Xingshi himself would also suffer.

"I'm sure you, Brother Lu, know how powerful the Federation is. Even the evil and disaster-level ghosts are not qualified to shake the Federation."

"Brother Lu, how can you escape by yourself?"

Hearing Huangfu Song's unwillingness to back down, Lu Xingshi knew that he really couldn't get it this time.

"I want all the fate books and fate techniques in the Fate Forum. I don't need the federal currency, it's useless anyway." Lu Xingshi once again made his request.

Huangfu Song felt relieved when he heard what Lu Xingshi said. These things that could be given to non-staff personnel were not of high value.

At first glance, it may seem like a lot of Federation Coins are needed, but in reality, this is just to balance the bounty.

"Okay, Brother Lu, when will you leave?" Huangfu Song agreed without hesitation.

If it is exchanged with federal coins, it is indeed a large amount of federal coins, but if it is exchanged with merits, probably only one percent of the merits of the abandoned village will be needed this time.

For Huangfu Song, no matter what he does, he will make money.

"Looking at how weak you look, you definitely can't come out today. I'll give you one night to rest. Come to my house to pick me up tomorrow morning."

"Is there any problem?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"Of course there is no problem. Thank you, Brother Lu, for your understanding." Huangfu Song really needed a rest. He had been dealing with Ling Zheng's affairs for some time, which made him exhausted.

Ling Zheng was like a spring. The more he pressed, the stronger the rebound would be.

The successive suppressions were all counterattacked by the other side, which can be said to be a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.

This series of failures naturally alarmed his father, the head of the Huangfu family.

Just give him a good scolding, now is a good time to put it aside and take a rest.

"That's good. I'll be there on time tomorrow." Lu Xingshi said as he was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, Brother Lu." Huangfu Song suddenly asked, "Do you still remember Ling Zheng?"

"Remember, he offended you?" Lu Xingshi knew that Ling Zheng had a conflict with the Huangfu family, otherwise why would he go to the welfare home in the north of the city? He couldn't go to his own family.

"Yes, but I'm not warning you to stay away from him, brother."

"But Ling Zheng seems to think that you are one of my subordinates, and he is likely to retaliate against you."

"He doesn't dare to deal with me openly. After all, I have a backer."

"But you are different, Brother Lu. You only have strength but no connections or relationships. If he targets you, I'm afraid no one can help you."

"So I'm just reminding you here, be careful." After saying this, Huangfu Song hung up the phone.

This means that Ling Zheng is here to cause trouble for you, so you should solve it yourself. The two sides are only concerned with interests, and Huangfu Song will definitely not use the power of the Huangfu family to protect Lu Xingshi, unless Lu Xingshi is willing to join the Huangfu family's faction.

However, Lu Xingshi had refused before, so the Huangfu family naturally would not care about Lu Xingshi's life or death.

"This is an unexpected disaster." Lu Xingshi thought, "No, I was the one who provoked him first, so it seems normal for him to cause trouble to me."

"You heard it, don't hide it, come out."

Lu Xingshi spoke directly.

Ling Zheng is here. He has been here for a while. He just arrived.

But this time he learned his lesson and did not come out.

The last time Lu Xingshi lied to him, he said he was tricking him out, so he thought Lu Xingshi was still lying to him now.

But Lu Xingshi was not lying, he really noticed the other party's arrival.

The figure of the Two-Faced Buddha emerged, transformed into the form of Ming Wang, exploded with anger, and attacked towards the place where Ling Zheng was hiding.

Forced by the attack, Ling Zheng had to show up, and looked a little embarrassed because of Ming Wang's attack.

Thanks to the actress in red who protected him in time, otherwise he might not have been able to save his life.

"Did you lie to me last time too?" Ling Zheng straightened his clothes and then asked.

Lu Xingshi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."

"So what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Facing Lu Xingshi's calm tone, Ling Zheng asked directly: "You accepted the reward from the North City Welfare House, right?"

"Yes, I took the call. It was a gilded order for Huangfu Song, the eldest son of the Huangfu family." Lu Xingshi said bluntly.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be a dog for others." Ling Zheng said sarcastically, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Do you know what the Huangfu family did in the North City Welfare House that angered the heavens and the people?"

"You are doing evil by helping them!"

Lu Xingshi was stunned by the other party's righteousness, and then said: "When you want to use righteousness to pressure others, it's best not to ridicule or insult them, which will only make people think you are hypocritical."

"Besides, it's not shameful to play for others and get a gold-plated order. They directly give 1 billion yuan. For a non-staff member like me, it's a huge sum of money."

"Master Ling, you are not like a core member who doesn't care about worldly things." Lu Xingshi didn't care about the other party's ridicule at all. Instead, he continued to taunt him: "After being a city dweller for a few days, you are so high and mighty that you don't even look at the common people under your feet."

Lu Xingshi's ridicule made Ling Zheng very angry.

"You have no idea how despicable the Huangfu family is. They are using people from the North City Welfare Home for experiments!"

"It is because of people like you that the Huangfu family can act so unscrupulously." Ling Zheng retorted angrily.

Lu Xingshi scratched his head and said, "I am just a low-level fortune teller. I have not enjoyed any benefits, but I have to bear all the sins. This is not reasonable."

"The person you are looking for is not me, but the Huangfu family, as well as the Federation and Destiny Organization that acquiesced to the Huangfu family's actions."

"Even if you kill me, will the world be peaceful and tranquil?"

"No, it's just that a scapegoat died."

These words made Ling Zheng stunned. He indeed did not think from Lu Xingshi's perspective.

Indeed, without the tacit approval of the Federation and the Destiny Organization, could the Huangfu family really act so recklessly?
But soon, he realized that Lu Xingshi was making a sophistry.

"Not only must you, but also those people behind the scenes who allowed the Huangfu family to do such evil things must be killed." Ling Zheng said righteously.

"It's a good idea, but the question is, have you ever thought about the fact that you are part of it?"

"Your resources come from the fruits of the experiment."

"If so, will you kill yourself?" Lu Xingshi asked again.

He was certain that the Federation and the Destiny Organization might not only condone the Huangfu family's transformation experiment technology, but also secretly support it.

Then, of course, the Huangfu family shared the technology with the Federation and the Destiny Organization in order to obtain this privilege.

Therefore, if Ling Zheng wanted to use the incident of the North City Welfare Home to bring down the Huangfu family, it was simply unrealistic.

"No way. All the resources I use are hard-earned."

"They... are absolutely clean!" Ling Zheng was filled with indignation when he said this.

"Who knows? But we've been talking for such a long time. If you just want to kill me, why bother finding these high-sounding reasons? Just do it directly." There was a hint of sarcasm in Lu Xingshi's tone.

Ling Zheng's heart sank. After hearing what Lu Xingshi said, if he continued to take action, he would be the one to blame.

"Oh? You don't dare to do it." Lu Xingshi smiled, and then said: "Then I won't be polite."

"If you come to kill me, don't blame me for killing you back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Two-Faced Buddha in the form of Mingwang attacked without hesitation.

Ling Zheng is still too young. If it were Lu Xingshi, he would not give the enemy a chance to speak. He would directly attack the enemy by surprise. The correct way to fight is to catch the enemy off guard.
