13. He Did Not Take Lian Nuo Seriously

Translator: Serena Yang

The chubby boy was stunned as the two rays of light flashed right in front of his eyes.

These two rays of light were too dazzling.

However, the leader of the gangsters suddenly felt something dangerous was approaching. He turned around swiftly and held the two crystal cores in his hand. He thought it was the chubby boy who attacked him from behind. Just as he was thinking about beating him up again, he was deeply attracted by the crystal cores in his hand.

“These are… crystal stones!”

After Lian Nuo’s cultivation, there was not much energy left in the two crystal cores. However, as a gifted person, the leader could still feel the energy emitting from the edge of the crystal cores.

The gangster leader released his superpower, intending to absorb the energy from the crystal cores. But strangely, he could not merge the energy of the crystal cores into his body. Why?

The gifted people in Sodir Empire used crystal stones to cultivate their superpowers, but there was no type difference among crystal stones. Any gifted person could use any crystal stone to cultivate his superpower. Despite the convenience, there were also disadvantages. Cultivations with crystal stones were very inefficient. The superpowers of the gifted people in Sodir Empire were growing at a rather slow speed.

However, Lian Nuo's two crystal cores were different from ordinary crystal stones, as they were crystal cores of different types, a Wood crystal core and a Water crystal core. If a gifted person did not use a crystal core of the same type with his superpower, it would be impossible for him to continue his cultivation.

The gangster leader tried several times but he still failed. His surprise turned into anger. Crystal stones were very expensive in Sodir Empire. People dug them out of from crystal mines. When crystal stones were dug out, they were covered with hard rocks. People needed to cut through the rock to know the quality of a crystal stone.

Therefore, it was totally a gamble. Many people with wealth and status would not hesitate to spend great money on crystal stones. They cut the big rocks like watermelons in halves, only to find that the crystal stones inside were as small as watermelon seeds.

So, the gangster leader thought he was lucky enough to get the two crystal stones at a time, but he could not use them at all. He showed a fierce gaze and stared at the chubby boy, walking to him step by step, "Where did you get the crystal stones?"

"It… It's not mine. These are not mine," the chubby boy was afraid and he retreated.

"You are the only one behind me! Who else can it be if you did not throw them to me?"

"They are really not mine…" the chubby boy shouted in a hoarse voice, "I… I… I don’t have money to buy crystal stones!"

The gangster leader frowned slightly. He thought it was reasonable. Crystal stones were expensive. How could this little guy afford them? If it was not him who threw the crystal stones, then there must be someone else. "Come out! You dare to stab me from the back?! Come out, you coward!"

In Lian Nuo's eyes, the gangster leader was cursing and waving his arms like a zombie in the End Times. At that time, Lian Nuo could take down a zombie like this in half a second and stab through its head to get its crystal core.

Lian Nuo came out from behind the tree and his big, dark, and bright eyes were staring at the gangster leader. What a pity. People on this planet did not have crystal cores in their heads.

However, the gangster leader did not take Lian Nuo seriously at all. He saw Lian Nuo was wearing a patient’s uniform and looked pale and fragile. At first glance, he could tell that Lian Nuo was malnourished. In Sodir Empire, people who were malnourished usually came from the slums.

Therefore, the gangster leader thought Lian Nuo was just one of the on-lookers. He glanced at Lian Nuo and continued to shout, "Who is it? Come out!"

Lian Nuo's eyes shifted from the gangster leader to the chubby boy. There were subtle lights shining in his eyes. For some reason, the chubby boy saw Lian Nuo’s gaze and he felt a little frightened.
