Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Spending Big on In-Game Purchases, Want to Get Stronger? [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

Lu Xiaobu, upon hearing Principal Li’s invitation, thought for a moment and then agreed, "Sure, how about in the next few days? I’m free anyway. As for the destination? You can decide, I don’t really have any particular place I want to go."

He was idle anyway.

"Alright, I’ll arrange it now."

Principal Li nodded.

Yes, the time must be dragged out, and the place must be chosen carefully.

I must keep Lu Xiaobu tightly in my grasp and not give Qinghua Emperor any chance!

And all those celebrity special recruits, get them all over here to hang out with Lu Xiaobu.

Anyone who acts too big for their boots will be expelled!

...

The celebration party ended, and he returned home.

Lu Xiaobu took a moment to think and then checked his wasteful amount.

Four hundred million.

Not bad, most of it came from this movie release, the rest was just assorted splurges!

So, he said to the system, "System, give me a flashy move."

"A flashy move? You’re too lazy to lift a finger, you don’t even cultivate the cultivation techniques."

The system said helplessly.

"I still have to cultivate? How annoying! I’d rather sleep than spend time cultivating."

Lu Xiaobu pouted and added, "Besides, I’m asking for a flashy move this time, I don’t bother with the small fries."

"Uh..."

The system was speechless, "You’re too lazy to even cultivate, how lazy can you be?"

"You lazy creature who doesn’t even bother to assign tasks, you have no right to call me lazy!" Lu Xiaobu immediately retorted.

"Uh...I’ll get you the flashy move."

The system, unable to argue, seemed to agree.

It really had no right to call Lu Xiaobu lazy; they were both cut from the same cloth!

...

Lu Xiaobu drank a bit too much and took a nap.

When he woke up, the system had just come back!

But the system’s mood seemed a bit off!

"What’s up?"

Lu Xiaobu flipped his pillow, propped it under himself, and leaned against the headboard to ask.

"I ran into a stupid system. Not only is it stupid, but damn it, it dared to curse at me!"

The system spat, fuming.

"You ran into another system? What did it say?"

Lu Xiaobu was intrigued.

Systems tearing each other apart, have you ever seen that?

"It said I’m stupid, talking too much just like you, losing all the system’s dignity! Also said I’m too lazy to even assign tasks, has no idea what it feels like to dominate a host."

You could tell from the voice that the system was furious!

"What kind of system is it?"

Lu Xiaobu asked.

"It calls itself the Filthy Rich System; can you believe it? It actually gives its host money to spend, and it dares to call me stupid! Idiot!"

The system swore loudly.

"Then do something about it! Why not strike back?"

Lu Xiaobu fanned the flames.

He wanted to see how systems tear each other apart.

"Of course, I took care of it then and there!"

The system began to gloat again: "I smacked it down with money, made it call me daddy!"

"Oh, speaking of which, if it’s called the Filthy Rich System, it should be richer than you, right?"

Lu Xiaobu questioned.

"Hey, it has money, but I have more cash! At that moment, I smashed it with my four hundred million in cash, you should have seen that idiot system’s face! It cracked me up!"

The system laughed heartily.

It was having fun, but Lu Xiaobu’s face turned sour: "Wait, what did you say? Four hundred million? You have four hundred million?!"

He had an ominous feeling in his heart.

"Uh..."

The system was taken aback—damn, it slipped up!

"Spill it, what exactly happened?" Lu Xiaobu squinted and asked, "Did you use the money I gave you for the flashy move?"

"This... *cough cough*, you see, we’re both in the same boat, right? If I look bad, it reflects on you too, doesn’t it!"

The system gave an awkward laugh.

Damn it, I was hoping to bluff my way through this, but now everything’s out in the open!

"So you’re saying, you really did use those four billion I saved for my powerful move?"

Lu Xiaobu asked coldly.

"*Cough cough*, yes!"

By now, the system had no choice but to admit it.

"So, what now? What about my powerful move?"

Lu Xiaobu sat on the bed, speaking with dissatisfaction.

"Actually, it’s not that you got nothing in return, I did manage to get a powerful move for you."

The system quickly tried to appease Lu Xiaobu: "This move is great, it’s called Dragon Capturing Hand, sounds mighty, doesn’t it? And it can even retrieve objects from a distance, cool huh?"

"Dragon Capturing Hand? From ’Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils’ or ’Divine Tomb’?" Lu Xiaobu furrowed his brows and asked.

He remembered seeing this move in both books.

"I can’t exactly say it’s from any specific world since there are too many parallel worlds to distinctly categorize them."

The system explained, "But, this one is really powerful, I have modified it for you. No need for cultivation or True Qi, you can use it right now."

"Hmm!?"

Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow: "Sounds pretty good so far!"

"Right?!" the system quickly tried to curry favor: "About that four billion—"

"First, finish telling me, this move didn’t just come out of nowhere!"

Lu Xiaobu asked.

"Of course not, this move needs a Wasteful amount to be energized, the more you fill up this amount, the greater the power it unleashes," the system confidently said: "This move definitely fits your requirements!"

"Indeed not bad." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, fairly satisfied: "Alright, let me have a look at it first."

"Sure."

The system breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this move was designed to trick Lu Xiaobu, so it couldn’t be too shabby.

Once Lu Xiaobu received the Dragon Capturing Hand.

He found that whenever he wanted to use this move, an operation panel appeared in front of him.

It was quite simple.

At the very top, there was an impressive logo with the name Dragon Capturing Hand.

In the middle, there was a crosshair.

Just below the center, there was a space to enter the charging amount and a confirm button.

At the very bottom, there was a progress bar!

Overall, it was a money-sinking move.

It made one recall the saying—Young man, want to become stronger? Then why not spend some money!

"What’s up with this progress bar?"

Lu Xiaobu frowned.

"*Cough cough*, charging takes time, you know!"

The system gave another awkward laugh.

That was the biggest drawback of this move, while the charge of the Wasteful amount increases its power, the more you charge, the longer it takes!

He was really regretting his slip of the tongue earlier, otherwise he wouldn’t have to stoop so low now.

"I’ll give it a try first."

Lu Xiaobu was determined not to mention forgiving the system.

To get the most benefits, he had to keep the system feeling guilty!

So Lu Xiaobu aimed at the table in front of him.

He thought a bit and entered an amount of one hundred thousand.

He could afford that.

He clicked confirm.

The progress bar began to fill up.

Since the amount was small, it moved quickly and was soon complete.

"Dragon Capturing Hand, fire."

Lu Xiaobu activated it.

In an instant, Lu Xiaobu felt a surge of force rushing out, aiming directly at that table.

He watched the table eagerly, curious to see just how powerful the Dragon Capturing Hand was!

Hoping it wouldn’t make a hole in the floor!
