Chapter 968: Panic

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At first, Lu Shu had wondered why the Luniverse did not use gold and silver as hard currency. At first, they had used magical stones. After they standardized the currency, they used notes. Now, they even used silver needles to test for poison.

After a long time, he realized that the old King of Gods had copied this from Water Margin 1…

Lu Shu tried to explain the reasoning behind using silver needles to test for poison. He told them that it was not an accurate indicator. But Lu Shu felt that based on their level of education, he would not be able to properly explain it to them.

Sun Zhongyang was a famous scholar from the palace. He was an outstanding student in the Imperial College who excelled in both morals and studies. He never expected to be treated as an uneducated person by Lu Shu…

“There is no way to test for poison,” said Sun Zhongyang. “But I will not allow human lives to be used to test for poison! The Sun family will not gamble with human lives!”

Lu Shu realized that the expression of the girls around Sun Zhongyang had changed. They all adored Sun Zhongyang. They were willing to devote their lives to him.

The differences in the innate nature of Sun Zhongyang and the other playboys were evident after a problem occurred. Lu Shu cheerily observed this. He quite admired Sun Zhongyang. In the past, he had thought that the people in the palace did not think highly of human lives.

Lu Shu let go. “Then, if you are not willing to test for poison, you will definitely not eat food from the outside world. Am I right?”

Sun Zhongyang nodded his head. “That is true. But we have run out of food in the trade caravan. We have to find a solution.”

“We can’t starve either.” Mo Xiaoya looked very worried. “It will take at least half a month to reach the palace.”

“But without testing for poison, we cannot eat food from the outside world,” said someone.

Spies and food became the worry of the trade caravan. Putting spies aside, food was the most urgent matter.

Suddenly, someone realized that although they had been injured, they still felt fine. How did they become so melancholic overnight? What was the reason?

When everyone carefully thought about it, they suddenly realized that it was all because of Lu Shu…

Lu Shu had told them about the spies. He had also told them that the food might contain poison. Was he intentionally trying to cause panic in the trade caravan? But why would he do so?

Mo Xiaoya looked at one of the others. They had been worried about whether Le Yulu would bribe them. With his greedy personality, it was not impossible!

Thus, Sun Zhongyang and the rest could not help but suspect that Lu Shu was the source of panic in the trade caravan!

Sun Zhongyang calmly asked Lu Shu, “What should we do now?”

He wanted to push this question to Lu Shu and try to find clues from his solution!

At that moment, Lu Shu looked at Sun Zhongyang and the rest. He paused for two seconds before saying, “My price for grains is fair and reasonable. It is enough for everyone…”

“From Sun Zhongyang’s distress, +777!”

“From Mo Xiaoya’s distress, +999!”

“From…”

Sun Zhongyang and Mo Xiaoya were very angry. Everyone was guessing why Lu Shu had tried to get everyone involved in the panic. Everyone had thought about the worst possible scenario. But he had spent so much effort only to sell his grains!

Mo Xiaoya laughed coldly. “Your greed has exceeded my expectations. Is the money you will earn from grains worth all this effort?”

Lu Shu was puzzled. “The meager amount of money I will earn from selling grains?”
