Chapter 280 Senior Bai Si’S Family Background And The Temptation Of Dowry
The banquet prepared by the Li family is not an ordinary meal.
Each dish is cooked by professional High Level chefs using precious ingredients.
Taste is secondary.
The key is that eating can increase attributes!
After a meal, more than fifty attribute points were unexpectedly added.
Just a table of banquet once again made Chen Yu feel that the gap between people in this world is truly bigger than that between humans and dogs!
Chen Yu had only heard of things that permanently increase attributes when he was in River Sun City.
During the banquet, the Li couple were overly friendly.
Li Yalu's mother frequently served Chen Yu food and asked about his well-being.
Li Yalu's father kept drinking and chatting with Chen Yu, and even talked mostly about the Li family's wealth and industries.
Several large shipbuilding companies, two large guilds, and a chain of professional stores, with business spread throughout the entire Xining Province.
The combined market value of all industries is worth billions of gold coins.
If you include the stored treasures, their value is immeasurable.
This is not showing off wealth or attempting to make Chen Yu realize the difference and not have any thoughts about Li Yalu. Instead, it seems more like a display.
Facing a stranger brought home by their daughter, and even their daughter's classmate, as parents, apart from showing hospitality, some testing and understanding is necessary.
But the Li couple had no guard up at all and warmly made it difficult for people to resist.
It wasn't until Li Yalu's father subtly asked about Chen Yu's opinion of Li Yalu and whether Chen Yu had a girlfriend that Chen Yu understood the couple's intentions.
This Li Shilin clearly wanted to become Chen Yu's father-in-law.
Moreover, he even used a generous "dowry" to tempt Chen Yu!
However, of course, it is impossible to answer such a topic directly.
Faced with Li Yalu's father's exclamation of "I only have one useless daughter in my life, and there is no one to inherit the family business," Chen Yu could only laugh it off.
Li Yalu has also talked about her family's situation.
She is the youngest sister in the family, with four older brothers and five older sisters.
So, what does "only one useless daughter" mean?
Does it mean that among the ten children they have, Li Yalu is the least accomplished?
Chen Yu stayed at Li Yalu's house overnight.
The next morning, the Li couple personally sent Chen Yu and Li Yalu to Yubo City.
After leaving the city, Li Yalu took out a large luxury private spaceship, which was fully automated, had precise navigation, and had a high level of safety and comfort.
It is said to be worth fifty million gold coins and is a high-end flagship product newly released by the Li family's subordinate spaceship manufacturing industry, with only ten units available for sale.
On the spaceship, Li Yalu was excited and had a smile on her face.
Obviously, she had just obtained a lot of good things from home.
About three hours after leaving Yubo City, the spaceship stopped in front of a dense forest.
Li Yalu put away the spaceship and walked into the forest with Chen Yu.
Towering trees reaching a hundred meters high covered the sky with their lush crowns.
Even in broad daylight, the forest was as dark as night.
The deeper they went, the dimmer the light became.
The ground, covered with dead branches and rotten leaves, was unusually soft.
"Stu...student...I'm scared~" Li Yalu held onto Chen Yu's arm, trembling.
Chen Yu looked at Li Yalu in surprise, "Li senior, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm scared... scared..." Li Yalu's delicate expression froze for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Um, I'm afraid of the dark."
Chen Yu's mouth twitched slightly, "Are you afraid of ghosts too?"
In fact, for professionals, such a dim and dense forest environment is normal to the point of being normal.
The atmosphere in many dungeons is much scarier than this.
A priest afraid of the dark? Isn't that nonsense?
"I'm also afraid of ghosts~" Li Yalu said softly, "Can you protect me, junior?"
As she spoke, she held onto Chen Yu's arm tighter and shook it a few times.
A soft and gentle touch came wave after wave.
Are you scared of the dark, you bastard?
I think you owe me a favor!
"Wuwaaa~"
Just then, a sound like a baby crying came.
Li Yalu's face immediately turned serious. She let go of Chen Yu's arm and pointed her staff forward, saying, "Holy Light Spell!"
A pure radiance bloomed from the top of her staff, illuminating the pitch-black forest.
Behind a giant tree, the head of an Anomaly appeared.
The top of the head was bald and hairless, with a creepy red glow in its eyes. It had a bird's beak for a mouth, and long feathers replaced its ears below the temples.
"It's a human-faced owl, one of the monster species mentioned in Yun's teacher's data!" Li Yalu's face showed delight.
"This forest is not a spawning ground for monsters. Since the human-faced owls are on the outskirts, their group leader should still be around!"
Chen Yu cast a probing spell on the head.
[Human-faced Owl, Level 180 Elite]
"Come--"
It seemed that the light from the Holy Light Spell irritated the human-faced owl.
It leaped out from behind the tree and pounced towards Li Yalu.
This monster had a bird body resembling an owl beneath its human head.
Its sharp claws were as sharp as knives.
"Holy Barrier!"
Li Yalu waved her staff.
A white curved shield appeared in front of her.
The human-faced owl crashed into the shield and was directly bounced back, causing the shield to dim slightly.
"Punishment Spear!"
A bright spear over a meter long shot out from in front of Li Yalu, instantly piercing through the human-faced owl floating in mid-air.
Its health bar dropped to zero, and the monster's body fell limp.
"Li Xuejie, amazing!" Chen Yu gave her a thumbs up.
Li Yalu was currently only a Rank Two professional, but she was able to handle a Rank Three elite monster with ease. She was indeed extraordinary.
"After the last Heradic Secret Realm, when Yun's teacher sold off all the rights, the participants received a lot of credits. I bought two Legendary Level passive skills and three Epic Level active skills."
"I guess I owe it to you and Feng Xuejie."
While they were talking, several more screams rang out.
Seven human-faced owls flew over one after another.
Two of them flapped their wings in mid-air, creating a storm.
Countless withered leaves flew like sharp knives.
The radiance of Li Yalu's Holy Barrier grew dimmer.
One of the human-faced owls collided with it, and with a swipe of its claws, completely shattered the Holy Barrier.
"Holy Barrier!"
Li Yalu calmly released another shield.
When the first shield appeared, it suddenly flickered and split into ten shields.
Then, the radiance on the shields intensified, becoming like ten white glass, exuding a heavy texture.
This defense was incomparable to the small barrier from before.
The attacks from the seven human-faced owls were relentless, but they couldn't even cause the slightest damage to the outermost shield.
"Li Xuejie, your safety measures are on point!" Chen Yu exclaimed.
"These are my two legendary skills, Spell Crit and Multiple Casting." Li Yalu was a little proud.
"In addition to the passive probabilities, they can also be actively enhanced, giving me five times the casting intensity and a Tenth Layer casting once."
The two legendary skills worked together, triggering effects far greater than the two skills individually.
It seemed that Li Yalu's fighting style leaned towards being defensive.
After establishing an absolute defensive advantage, she used attack skills to kill the monsters outside one by one.
