Upon hearing Gao Junyi’s words, Chang Yi frowned, but he quickly relaxed.
The king did not meet the king?
No, no, no. Chang Yi felt that there were only two possibilities why he could not see Lu Ming today.
One possibility was Lu Ming had something on today.
The second possibility was that Lu Ming considered himself not his match, so he did not want to meet him.
The first possibility was less likely, but not impossible.
The second possibility was more likely.
Although from yesterday’s Mind Listening, Chang Yi had heard Bai Tianyu and Gao Junyi’s thoughts that Lu Ming was stronger than him,
But now, he had already alerted the enemy. If Lu Ming was really confident in his strength, then as the strongest person here, Lu Ming had no reason not to come and intimidate him, right?
“Hiding? Fine, then 1’11 give you three days. Once three days are up, I’ll definitely debunk the illusion that your Brother Lu is powerful!”
After making this decision, Chang Yi stopped talking and continued to eat and drink heartily.
But, he had already made the decision to take down the official shelter.
There was no need to worry about food and drink here.
Chang Yi had not eaten so well in a long time.
However, playing it steady was still necessary.
In case that Brother Lu was really more formidable than him, being a bit more accommodating now would allow room for easing tensions later.
On this day, Gao Junyi acted like a loyal guide, taking Changyi on a tour around the official shelter—of course, without letting him meet anyone other than himself.
After eating and drinking his fill, Chang Yi hugged Eileen and treated it as a vacation and did not show much discontent.
During this period, Chang Yi inquired several times about Lu Ming’s detailed information from Gao Junyi, but Gao Junyi evaded his questions skillfully.
Mind Listening also did not provide Chang Yi with the information he wanted.
Because Gao Junyi genuinely did not know Lu Ming’s strength and abilities. As an ordinary person, he was only responsible for internal affairs, and he really did not know about Lu Ming’s matters. And Huo Sheng would not reveal the characteristics of Lu Ming’s abilities and make it known to everyone.
At night, Chang Yi, who was lying on the bed with Eileen in his arms, could not help but smack his lips.
“That’s fine.”
As the saying went, good things take time.
Since he was eating and drinking well here, why not wait for him for three days?
But it would only take three days at most.
Glancing at the numb Eileen beside him, Chang Yi sighed faintly.
“So love really has an expiration date…”
“I need to get a new one.”
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Day 95 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Wednesday.
In the past three days, Chang Yi did not get to meet Brother Lu, which further strengthened his belief that Lu Ming was just a paper tiger.
However, Chang Yi did not lose his cool.
He said three days, so three days it was.
Today was the bottom line that Chang Yi had set for himself.
Chang Yi got up at noon. After lunch, he looked at Gao Junyi beside him and said, “Old Gao, it’s been three days, but you haven’t arranged for me to meet Lu Ming yet. You making me wait like this is really putting me in a difficult position…”
He shaved his teeth while raising one leg.
At the end of the day, the dagger was revealed.
Gao Junyi could only smile helplessly, “Mr. Chang, Brother Lu does have something on. We didn’t mean to patronize you.”
Gao Junyi did not know the specifics of whether Lu Ming had something or not, Huo Sheng did not tell him either, so Chang Yi’s Mind Listening could not pick up any clues.
Chang Yi was about to slam the table and fly into a rage when he heard Gao Junyi change the topic.
“I also feel that Brother Lu isn’t doing things properly, but I’m only here to help out. Sigh… However, I have a little bit of authority here, you see…”
“So, let me apologize to you, Mr. Chang, for making you wait for three days, and then…”
With that, Gao Junyi clapped his hands, and the restaurant’s door opened as three gorgeously dressed women walked in.
Chang Yi’s eyes lit up!
“This is, isn’t this that…”
“Yes, Ah Yu, Ah Huan, and Qiao Luo.”
Three of the four female stars before the apocalypse.
They were beautiful in appearance.
Their makeup and dressing were carefully done.
Of the three of them, one was wearing a cheongsam, one a cosplay costume, and the other was wearing a secretary outfit. Chang Yi could not take his eyes off them.
It was not until the beautiful women surrounded Chang Yi that Chang Yi suddenly gasped.
“This… this…”
Gao Junyi smiled and said, “Mr. Chang, please don’t be offended. I only have this small amount of authority…. But Mr. Chang, this matter is not suitable to be discussed in the open here at our gathering place. So, Mr. Chang, please enjoy yourself and don’t tell others.”
Chang Yi’s mental defense line was instantly breached…
How could I, Chang Yi, withstand such a temptation?
In a daze, he heard Gao Junyi’s voice again, “So, Mr. Chang, about Brother Lu’s situation, let me apply for you again. Can you wait for two more days?”
“Sure, alright, alright!”
Chang Yi, who was immersed in a gentle embrace, waited for three more days.
Day 98 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Saturday.
During lunchtime, Chang Yi hugging Ying Ying and Yan Yan in his arms, asked Gao Junyi again, “Regarding Brother Lu…”
Gao Junyi smiled obsequiously, “Brother Lu is still busy, still busy…”
Chang Yi suddenly frowned.
Although he had been immersed in the gentle paradise for the past three days, he also had some thoughts.
For example, about women.
Once he dealt with Brother Lu, there would be no one in the entire official shelter who could rival him. At that time, wouldn’t all the four female stars and other women be his? Why waste time waiting here?
Just today, Chang Yi reluctantly pulled himself out of the gentle paradise and was ready to cause trouble.
However, before Chang Yi could say anything, Gao Junyi interrupted, “Actually, today, we’d like to ask Mr. Chang for a favor.”
At the mention of favor, Chang Yi’s frown deepened.
But considering that he had been well-fed and pampered these past few days, and they even found him a new love, Chang Yi reluctantly suppressed the violence in his heart. He nodded slightly and gestured for Gao Junyi to continue.
Gao Junyi’s expression turned serious, “The Holy Tower.”
“Mr. Chang, do you know about the Holy Tower? The tower that appeared in the city center at the beginning of the apocalypse?”
Chang Yi had long heard of the Holy Tower.
He knew that the thing seemed to be very important, but Chang Yi did not have any specific information about it.
Upon hearing Gao Junyi’s words, Chang Yi immediately became more attentive.
“Go on.”
“Well, we’ve researched it, and it seems that the Holy Tower reacts to high-level Awakened ones and zombies.It’s like this. Currently, Mr. Chang is the only Level 5 Awakened in the entire Nanxiang City. So, we would like to ask you, Mr. Chang, to go to the Holy Tower and take a look. What do you think?”
Chang Yi briefly weighed the pros and cons and nodded decisively, “Sure.”
This was not to help the officials, but the Holy Tower was a mystery to everyone and was very important. Chang Yi himself had wanted to explore it, but he was held back by the gentle paradise over here.
After some thought, Chang Yi felt that going to explore the Holy Tower first seemed like a good choice..
