Chapter 123 - It Is Definitely Him (1/2)

”Lu, I think we have too much money…” Yu gestured towards a huge hoard of gold that they had just plundered from a bandit camp.

”How are we even supposed to spend it all? I don't think anyone wants to by any of those stupid robes, I would rather stub my toe against Shu's flip flop than wear a robe.” Lu smirked. Currently, the trio were still wearing the clothes that they entered the world in. Yu was wearing standard hiking gear with some plates of armour fastened on. Lu was wearing a camouflaged green coat over his matte black b.r.e.a.s.tplate, and Shu was wearing a singlet and board shorts, complete with a pair of flip flops, sunglasses and a bucket hat.

”Shu, what do you think we should do with all of this? There's no use in keeping it all. There are only three of us and like a million gold coins to split.”

”I think we should use all of this money to build us a more permanent residence. I am sick of sleeping in a tent every night. Why not just make a house out of gold and put it in our spatial storage. As for the rest? We can just use it to buy some home entertainment devices for our new house. What do you guys think?” Shu explained this all on a chalkboard. While he did not find it difficult to sleep in a tent, he still found it less than comfortable. At the very least, he would like to sleep under a hard roof and with a proper space for himself to actually sleep.

”Okay, we can paint the outside green and cover it in leaves, but the sindie will be pure gold just for the sake of it. We are going to have the best hut in the world!”

”Alright, I agree. I hate sleeping in the tent as much as you.” Lu agreed without any resistance. In truth, he suffered from lack of sleep because of muddy water flowing from the bottom of the tent to his face. While he was able to move, he still found it very irritating to sleep.

”I support the idea too.” Yu had already put together a melting pot and a mould.

”This is great! If we put all our efforts together, we can finish this by the end of the day!”

And that was exactly what they did. For an entire day, the YuLuShu brothers melted gold coins and made them into bricks. One by one, the bricks came into place, almost resembling a structure by midday. Since they started in the morning, the building ended around midnight. By which time, the house looked like a modular hut with space for three of them to sleep. This of course included built in bed frames.

However, they were not able to build any toilets or kitchen, which would come later when they procure the items at town. For now, they would just do those things outside and hope it doesn't rain. As long as they could live healthily, it did not matter too much for them.

”Hey, Shu, I think I hear screams in the distance.” Lu began feeling a sense of fright upon hearing very distant echoes of screaming individuals.

”Yeah, speaking of which… I heard that people have begun avoiding the area early the Wind Demonic Sect. Apparently they began attacking disciples of a mysterious sect that no one knows the true name of and now they have suffered astronomically high casualties at the hands of a cunning General. It is said that the general planted countless hidden traps in that section of the forest and left his men on trees to ambush the demonic sect's people.”

”So I wouldn't worry about those screams. Those demonic sect people probably deserve it. Who asked them to sacrifice people to demons? That's just wrong.” Yu commented feeling disgusted.

”At least Master never made people use others as sacrifices for himself. Master is much higher class than those mere demons. He is a devil that can make a demon call him daddy!”

”Hush, Master would not be so vulgar as to ask a demon to call him 'daddy'” Shu gabe Yu a stern warning.

”Master is not that type of person. He would make the demon submit and then convince the demon to kill itself for its sins. Master is much smarter than we can comprehend. He could probably defeat a demon by looking at it.” Lu commented with a wise expression.

”I agree! Master is so wise that he must have devised a million different methods to defeat evil beings! I would not be surprised if Master sold the trap making method to the General for use in this small scale war. Such a terrifying strategy must be the work of master. Even Core Formation warriors have been killed by the traps.”
