Chapter 90 Foolish and Rich People, Come Quickly!

First floor.

Luke was sitting on the sofa, looking down at the contents of the communication device.

Half an hour had passed since Li Ang began alchemy.

He wasn't in a hurry, after all, it was quite normal for craftsmen to spend ten days or half a month making equipment.

However, since the person below told me to wait, it shouldn't take that long.

Just as Luke was thinking this, Leon opened the basement door and came out.

He was holding a short sword in his hand.

"Young Master Luke, please take a look."

As Li Ang spoke, he handed it to Luke.

Luke looked at the short sword that was barely visible in his hand, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face: "I thought that pair of brass knuckles you gave Marcus was your limit, but I didn't expect you could go even further?"

"And in this style."

That's right, Li Ang directly implanted two alchemical matrices into the equipment during the forging process this time.

They are 【Concealment】 and 【Resilience】.

After all, the materials Luke provided were far superior to those from Fire Crystal, so he naturally couldn't just add a single attribute as before.

And even if something goes wrong, doesn't he have a spare?

Fortunately, it was ultimately successful, and Li Ang managed to keep the material.

As for the style
Li Ang replicated the Gem Sword from Type-Moon based on his memory.

However, it was Luke who requested that the blade not be sharpened, otherwise he wouldn't have copied this weapon.

Combined with the concealment array, it does indeed bear some resemblance.

Of course, they only look alike; an unsharpened dagger can't even kill a person.

Seemingly quite satisfied with the alchemical equipment made by Li Ang, Luke put it into his spatial storage and said, "I'll have someone deliver what you need in the next couple of days."

"Thank you very much, Young Master Luke. May I ask how much of the difference I need to pay?"

Although Luke hadn't mentioned the processing fee beforehand, it certainly wouldn't be enough to exchange for a piece of spatial equipment.

Moreover, Li Ang wasn't worried about the other party running away, since he had already made a lot of money just from the piece of metal that the other party left behind.

However, when asked, Luke waved his hand and said, "No need, just consider it making friends."

?

At this point, Luke had transformed in Li Ang's eyes from the stereotypical spoiled brat into an incredibly generous benefactor.

After a moment of silence, Li Ang said, "Then thank you very much, Young Master Luke."

"Small things."

Luke put his sunglasses back on, then stood up to leave.

Of course, Li Ang couldn't just let him get away like that; he still had some questions to ask.

"Young Master Luke, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, Li Ang took out the fire crystal dagger he had made a few days ago.

He had left this item hanging for several days without anyone paying attention to it, so he might as well take this opportunity to get closer to the young master in front of him.

Luke took the dagger and played with it for a while before sitting back down on the sofa: "As long as it's not something too secretive, I can tell you."

"I wonder how Young Master Luke and Director Marcus know each other?"

As Li Ang poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Luke, he asked...

This question was merely a starting point, not the question Li Ang truly wanted to ask.

Upon hearing this, Luke shrugged: "His mother and my father had some dealings, and they got to know each other over time."

“Marcus has it tough too. His mother is a fourth-level powerhouse, but his father is just an ordinary person, so he is not well-liked in the family.”

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way to a godforsaken place like Colony 9527."

At this point, the young master of the governor's mansion seemed to remember something and fell silent for a moment.

Seeing his appearance and considering his relationship with Marcus, Leon's eyes flickered.

'Looks like this young master isn't having an easy time either.'

Although it is unknown how many children the planet governor has, it is likely that Luke is not the only one.

Luke's current impression on Li Ang is that he's just a weakling at the first level, and he probably isn't very well-liked in the Governor's Mansion.

He and Marcus were in the same boat, so it's no wonder they got along so well.

At this moment, Luke regained his composure, grinned, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Does Young Master Luke know Lord Brando?"

This is the question Li Ang really wanted to ask.

Since he suspected Brando was the mastermind behind the smuggling case, he naturally began to gather intelligence.

Upon hearing the name 'Brando', Luke stroked his chin and began to think.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Brando."

“This old man rarely shows his face. Even on my father’s birthday, he would only send one gift.”

"But I remember he was quite old, probably too old to walk."

However, upon hearing Luke's words, Li Ang frowned slightly.

Based on his interactions with the other party over the past two days, Brando didn't seem as old and unable to walk as Luke had described.

Despite the fact that the other party kept jokingly referring to themselves as an old person.

"Thank you for answering my question, Young Master Luke."

Upon hearing this, Luke stood up again: "It's nothing."

With that, he walked towards the door, leaving behind the words, "The payment will be delivered in a couple of days."

After watching the young master of the governor's mansion get into the car that had been waiting outside, Li Ang went up and closed the door.

It must be said that today's gains were quite substantial.

Putting aside the spatial equipment that hasn't been acquired yet, Li Ang has already gained a lot from that unknown metallic mineral alone.

'It's true that connections are essential for doing business.'

With this first sale, my alchemy workshop can finally be considered open for business.

With this in mind, Li Ang went to the trading website and removed the Fire Crystal Dagger from the shelves.

Haha, yesterday I ignored you, today you can't afford to be near me!

Two days later. Just as Li Ang was hiding in the basement constructing his alchemy workshop, a faint knocking sound suddenly came from upstairs.

'Has the spatial equipment Luke mentioned arrived?'

With this thought in mind, he immediately went upstairs.

Upon opening the door, Li Ang saw a familiar, flamboyant man in sunglasses leaning against the doorframe.

"Master Li, it's been two days."

"."

Li Ang was surprised that this young master would come to his door in person. He stepped aside to let the other party into the house.

However, as he passed by him, Luke tossed him a simple silver-white ring: "The promised payment."

"Just inject energy into it and it will be ready to use."

Li Ang caught the ring and immediately used [Qi Control] to inject his own Qi into it.

The next moment, his mind sensed an empty space.

"One cubic meter? That's not bad."

It's not that big, but it's not that small either.

But for Li Ang right now, it's barely enough.

It's enough to store at least some weapons.

Moreover, he was only using it as a transitional measure. Once he learned how to create space, this kind of space equipment would be of little use to him.

"Young Master Luke, what brings you here today?"

Li Ang put on the ring and poured a glass of water for the flamboyant young man.

"I was just killing time, so I thought I'd come and take a look around." Luke shrugged. "The flight back to Central City won't be for another two days."

"I thought a young master like you would have your own flying vehicle."

Li Ang was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Luke to squeeze onto a flight just like ordinary people.

Although the ordinary people of colony 9527 couldn't afford to ride it either.

After all, with insects swarming outside, ordinary flying vehicles wouldn't be able to safely reach their destination.

However, this also confirms Li Ang's previous conjecture about Luke.

As expected, the other party was not well received at the governor's mansion.

Li Ang didn't believe that a governor's mansion wouldn't even have its own flying vehicles.

According to the information he found, to become the governor of a godforsaken planet like Colony Star 9527, one must be at least a third-level powerhouse.

The Federation's prosperous star regions are even more exaggerated; only those at the fourth or fifth energy level are qualified to compete.

Seeing Luke's face gradually darken on the sofa, Leon chose to skip the topic.

"If Young Master Luke has any friends, you can introduce them to me."

"I would have done it even without you telling me."

Luke snorted, seemingly still annoyed by Li Ang's words.

However, seeing his performance, Li Ang's eyes flickered.

'Could this silly child have been manipulated by my previous actions because they lack affection?'

It should be noted that the only connection between the two parties was the last transaction, and Luke had no need to personally visit for a piece of spatial equipment.

Congratulations to Li Ang for guessing correctly.

Although Luke is usually surrounded by sycophants, they are all useless people with no ability.

He had met quite a few craftsmen, but most of them were only superficially respectful to him.

Not to mention elite craftsmen like Li Ang.

Just then, a series of subtle vibrations suddenly occurred.

Luke lost his balance and fell onto the sofa.

"The insects here are really rampant."

He grumbled as he sat up straight again.

Luke had been to many frontier cities, but this was the first time he had seen such a rampant swarm of insects as frontier city 66.

It's fair to say that a small earthquake every two days and a large earthquake every three days is the norm in this pioneering city.

Upon hearing his words, Li Ang thought to himself:

'So, is this insect swarm an exception?'

Clearly, the problem lies with that Zerg Nova who's hiding somewhere.

"Speaking of which, Li Ang, why don't you come back to Central City with me? It's much safer there than here."

Before Luke could finish speaking, a deafening sound reached their ears.

The governor's son immediately tensed up: "What happened?"

At this moment, Li Ang quickly walked to the window and looked outside, only to see the burrowing worms from last time appear in the pioneering city.

More importantly...
There are four worms around him right now.

"Are they coming for me?"

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Li Ang felt that this was probably the truth.

He quickly returned to the basement and stored the anti-tank gun and ammunition he had prepared earlier into the space ring he had just acquired, then returned to the first floor.

At this moment, Luke roughly understood what had happened and was sending a message through the communication device with a gloomy expression.

"Young Master Luke, you can hide here. If it's too much, you can hide in my basement. That's my workshop, and it should be enough to keep out some bugs."

Seeing Li Ang preparing to leave, the young master quickly stopped him: "What are you doing going out at this hour, a craftsman?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Li Ang looked at Luke with a strange expression. "Didn't Marcus tell you that my profession isn't craftsmanship?"

Seeing his blank expression, Li Ang smiled and said, "My profession is combat-oriented."

".ah?"

Luke was momentarily stunned.

Marcus only told him about Leon's identity as a craftsman, and didn't say much else, after all, it was just introducing business.

As an idle playboy, Luke obviously didn't have his own intelligence channels.

So until just now, he still thought Li Ang was just an alchemist.

Before he could react, Li Ang had already pushed open the door and walked out.
