The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 25: Lu Chen’s plan, how much is the Supreme Head worth?
Soon after,

Night gradually fell, finally covering the huge White Dragon City bit by bit. However, even with the coming of night, it still could not conceal the bustle of this city.

The White Dragon City was obviously extremely excited today, and the reason for this excitement was not only because of the news about the Supreme Spirit Treasure that came out from the auction in the afternoon, but also because of the news that the mysterious Supreme Power had appeared.

The supreme spiritual treasure, the supreme powerful one!
These two simple words revealed an unusual flavor, causing the entire Bailong City to boil.

Because everyone knows what this means.

A mysterious supreme being showed up and purchased the White Dragon Jade Pillar, which undoubtedly confirmed the authenticity of the White Dragon Spirit Treasure, making it instantly very popular.

Countless people were excited about it. Although they knew they couldn't compete with the mysterious supreme being, it would be okay to get a piece of the pie, right?
……

On a small hill deep in the White Dragon Hill,
As the bonfire slowly grew, the faint flames dispelled the darkness and illuminated the surrounding scenery.

"Brother Lu, have you really achieved the Supreme?"

Mu Chen, who was sitting next to the campfire, was roasting a rabbit on the grill while asking the figure in green clothes beside him.

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Lu Chen took a bite of the rabbit leg and spoke incoherently.

"But……"

Muchen's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes. It seemed that he wanted to say something but was not sure how to say it.

"But how did I do that?"

Lu Chen swallowed the last bite of rabbit meat, narrowed his eyes slightly, crossed his hands behind his back, leaned on his arms contentedly, lay on the hillside, and asked and answered himself.

"It's actually very simple. I just happened to come across a technique that can improve my aptitude, and I also happened to meet a kind elder sister who was willing to help me. These two things combined allowed me to become a Supreme by chance."

"Speaking of which, choice is more important than hard work. If I hadn't taken a gamble back then, perhaps I would still be like you, staying in the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, living a carefree life."

Lu Chen said with some emotion
"Carefree?"

Muchen looked at Luo Li beside him and smiled bitterly. Only he knew how much pressure he was under.

For Luo Li, he practiced hard every day, just to be qualified to go to the Western Paradise and marry the girl he liked one day.

"Xiao Mu, there's no need to be discouraged. With your talent, it's only a matter of time before you break through to become a Heavenly Supreme."

"After all, you are from that clan..."

A strange look flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he said with a smile.

"Which clan? Brother Lu? Do you know the whereabouts of my mother?"

Upon hearing this, Muchen's entire body trembled, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

Even Luo Li, who was standing beside him, showed curiosity and turned to look at Lu Chen.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen just shook his head and said, "You can't say it. Since your mother doesn't intend to tell you, there is no need for me to say more."

"You just need to know that your mother is fine at the moment. For the rest, just work hard on your cultivation."

"Is that clan scary?"

Hearing this, Muchen's eyes narrowed and he spoke with a serious expression.

"Of course it's terrifying. Young Supremes like me are everywhere in that tribe. In their eyes, I'm not even an ant."

Lu Chen sighed and said with emotion.

Not even an ant?
Brother Lu is already the Supreme, how powerful must that clan be?
A flash of shock flashed across Muchen's eyes, but he quickly came to his senses and regained his determination. He said, "Since that's the case, I can't give up. I promised Dad that I would definitely rescue Mom!"

Silly child, maybe your mother doesn’t need you to save her at all?

Lu Chen looked at Muchen with pity, but did not expose the lie.

After all, Muchen is still young and needs to save his wife and mother to provide motivation for his practice. Besides, the Holy Lady of the ancient Futu clan probably doesn't want him to meddle in other people's business.

"Okay, enough small talk, it's time to get down to business."

"Do you know why I called you out?" Lu Chen turned over, sat up, and looked at Mu Chen with a smile.

"Didn't you advise me not to participate in the fight for the spiritual treasure?"

Muchen said with a bewildered look on his face.

"That's just one of them. I know the mission standards of your academy. All I need to do is bring back a few items from the spiritual storage, and that's considered completing the mission, right?"

Lu Chen said seriously.

"That's true. This is no secret in the Northern Cang Continent. That's why people from our academy usually participate in the fight for spiritual treasures. As long as we don't take anything too important, those people won't kill us and will let us leave safely."

"This is also a mechanism set up by the college to protect us."

Muchen nodded slightly and said.

"That's right. You and Luo Li don't have to participate in this spiritual treasure battle. I will give you a few things to hand over. I guarantee you will be satisfied, but you have to do me a favor."

Lu Chen raised the corner of his mouth and said excitedly.

"Ah? This is so embarrassing..."

"Brother Lu, tell me what's going on."

Muchen wanted to refuse, but he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, as if someone had twisted it. He turned around and saw Luo Li staring at him fiercely.

Knowing that she didn't want to take any risks, he could only smile bitterly and immediately changed his words.

"How about you pass on a message for me?"

A smile flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he spoke in a calm tone.

"A message?"

"What message? To whom?"

Muchen frowned and asked with some confusion.

"Pass it to your dean. Ask him how much Supreme Spiritual Liquid a Supreme Head from the Dragon Demon Palace is worth?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, but the murderous intent in his tone was chilling.

"The Supreme Being who killed the Dragon Demon Palace?"

A look of shock flashed across Muchen's eyes, and he spoke in a shocked tone.

"What? Aren't your Northern Cang Spiritual Academy and Dragon Demon Palace mortal enemies?"

"Originally, I didn't want to reveal my identity. I just planned to take the White Dragon Spirit Treasure and run away, but I didn't expect to meet you, so I changed my plan at the last minute."

"From what I know, the Dragon Demon Palace has hunted down many students from your Northern Cang Spiritual Academy over the years, right?"

Hearing this, Muchen nodded and said, "Well, ever since the Dragon Demon Palace lost the battle for supremacy with our Northern Cang Spiritual Academy hundreds of years ago, the remnants of the Dragon Demon Palace have been lurking in the dark, constantly hunting down the outstanding students of our Northern Cang Spiritual Academy."

"In the academy, both teachers and students hate him to the core. The academy even created a bounty list, listing all the famous masters below the Supreme in the Dragon Demon Palace. Anyone who can hunt down anyone on the bounty list will receive a generous reward from the academy."

"That's right. Tell your dean that as long as he can stop the Dragon Demon Palace Master, the Black Dragon Supreme, who is already a fifth-grade supreme, and the other five first-grade supreme deputy palace masters, I will take care of them all!"

Lu Chen said with a smile, his tone full of heroism.

"All inclusive?"

"Brother Lu, those are the five supreme beings, and the Dragon Demon Palace has always been very hidden, they won't show up easily."

Muchen said with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, they are just a few fake Supremes who don't even have the 99th-ranked Supreme Dharmakaya."

"As for hiding, I have my own way to make them fall into my trap."

Lu Chen smiled, with an indescribable confidence in his tone.
