Chapter 276: Chapter 275: Intelligence Not Even the STO Has

Lu Zixun sighed silently, gazing at the sky, guessing Yue Sichen’s intentions.

Could he really be so trusting of him, knowing full well he was with STO, yet still entrusting him to protect a face-changing worm with significant importance?

The sorrowful look in Lu Zixun’s eyes left Huang Yihuan somewhat conflicted.

With his right hand clutching the corner of his clothes and biting his lower lip, he said, "You should come with me instead; it’ll be safer that way."

The moment Lu Zixun regained his senses and saw Huang Yihuan like this, he couldn’t help but chuckle, "If I go with you, are you sure that Queen-level ghoul won’t be able to find me?"

"This..."

With a hesitant expression on his face, Huang Yihuan eventually shook his head, "I’m not sure, but I can protect you from danger for this minute."

"With what will you protect me?"

Lu Zixun retorted pointedly, "You can’t even withstand a single hit from me, let alone from a ghoul in a moonlit frenzy."

"With my life!"

Huang Yihuan uttered these words without hesitation, his gaze firm as he looked at Lu Zixun.

Lu Zixun hadn’t expected Huang Yihuan to say something like that.

He had thought Huang Yihuan had some trump card up his sleeve and listened expectantly, but hearing this stirred complicated feelings in him.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zixun looked up at Huang Yihuan, "Is the promise to Yue Sichen that important?"

"Uh-huh!"

Nodding earnestly, Huang Yihuan clenched his fists, "Sister Yue is the kindest person in the world, and like me, adores humanity, so I must fulfill my promise to her."

"Alright then."

After his mustache fluttered a few times, Lu Zixun stood up from the windowsill.

He took out his phone from the storage talisman, opened it, and sent a friend request to Huang Yihuan on vv.

"I don’t need your protection, I’m confident I can handle the ghoul myself."

As Lu Zixun walked into the bedroom, he said blandly, "If you encounter any threats, send me your location on vv immediately."

"I..."

Just as Huang Yihuan was about to say something, Lu Zixun abruptly closed the sliding door.

Fuming, Huang Yihuan was about to pull the sliding door open when he realized it wouldn’t budge.

Looking closer, he saw that Lu Zixun had used his Spiritual Energy to freeze the gaps.

Stomping his foot, Huang Yihuan disappeared from the balcony, presumably leaving.

Lying in bed, Lu Zixun lost the mood to play with his phone. After tossing and turning for a while, he took out his phone and called Zeng Haoyang.

"Da Ju, what’s up?"

In the STO building’s office, buried under stacks of files, Zeng Haoyang cradled the phone with his head tilted and asked.

"Old man, I have a question. If a ghoul advances to Queen-level strength, will it gain new abilities?"

Hearing this, Zeng Haoyang furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, set down the pen in his hand, and signaled to his secretary with his hand.

After the secretary exited the office, Zeng Haoyang spoke, "Where did you get this info? A ghoul breaking through to Queen-level?"

Lu Zixun pursed his lips and did not answer; it seemed that even STO was unaware of the ghoul’s ability during a Moonlit Frenzy.

"Hello, Da Ju, is the signal bad?"

"No, I can hear you."

After a pause, Lu Zixun’s eyes flickered with contemplation, and he continued after a while.

"I heard from a friend that when a ghoul breaks through to Queen-level, it gains a Moonlit Frenzy ability, which, when used, boosts its strength by two major stages but can only be used once in a lifetime."

"Hmm?"

Zeng Haoyang raised his eyebrows, incredulity in his eyes; that ability sounded quite overpowered.

If Lu Zixun didn’t sound so serious, Zeng Haoyang would have thought the young man was just poking fun at him.

"How long does the ability last, and what’s the condition of the ghoul after it’s used? Is this information credible?"

In a series of questions, the seriousness in Zeng Haoyang’s tone was evident concerning this matter.

Lu Zixun didn’t hold back, replying directly, "It lasts for one minute, and the ghoul dies after using it. Probably seventy percent true..."

"Seventy percent?"

Narrowing his eyes, Zeng Haoyang said, "So, it means it’s not certain but quite likely, just like your friend said?"

"Pretty much."

Turning over, Lu Zixun yawned, "I’m requesting a protection assignment from the elite squad that’s strong in protection capabilities."

With a serious expression, Lu Zixun sat up, "Given my current strength, I think it’s a stretch to hold on for an hour against Emperor-level power."

Zeng Haoyang was well aware of the encounter Lu Zixun and the others had at the Four Seasons Water Park.

Of course, he understood Lu Zixun’s concerns, but...

Rubbing his temples with a headache, Zeng Haoyang said reluctantly, "In a few days, the little princess from the neighboring city’s headquarters will be visiting Lingchuan City for tourism."

That was rather coincidental. Lu Zixun, understanding Zeng Haoyang’s difficulty, just sighed silently, "Alright then, does Kang Ning also need to go and offer protection?"

"Kang Ning doesn’t need to go; he’ll stay close and protect you."

The elite squad skilled in protection should be sufficient for someone visiting as a tourist; having Xiong Kang go too would be a misallocation of resources.

"That’ll do then. If the STO surveillance team notices anything unusual, old man, let them inform me, alright?"

After a pause, Lu Zixun added quickly, "You’re getting on in years, just focus on enhancing your Spiritual Energy and take care of your health, alright? Hanging up, hanging up."

Before Zeng Haoyang could respond, the dial tone was already buzzing in the receiver. After a moment’s thought, he set down the phone and chuckled quietly.

"The little rascal actually cares about people, all my affection hasn’t been wasted."

Murmuring to himself, Zeng Haoyang shook his head, smiling as he returned to the mountain of paperwork.

"Finally done, finally done with the exams."

With a face full of fatigue, Lin Siyin returned to the bedroom, and the first thing she did was to embrace Lu Zixun and collapse on the bed, despondently.

Thinking of Lin Siyin heading out for exams early in the morning and returning only as the sun was setting, Lu Zixun thought for a moment, and his Spiritual Energy surged out, wrapping Lin Siyin in a cool, refreshing aura.

"Wow, Da Ju, you even have an air conditioning effect!"

As if discovering a new continent, Lin Siyin lifted Lu Zixun in front of her, "Tomorrow, we can go home, are you excited?"

"Uh... Just hope we don’t get kicked out."

He nodded, expressing some worry.

"No way, whatever Dad promises me, he always delivers!"

Looking at Lin Siyin’s confident demeanor, Lu Zixun didn’t say anything more.
