Infinite Divine Gears in the City

Chapter 13

“Yes, I understand.”

Wang Lei saw the purity in Li Rui’s eyes, felt no longer worried about him, and smiled.

This boy!

I was right about him!

While talking to Li Rui, Wang Lei would subconsciously treat him as someone of his age instead.

He had always given off a sense of maturity as if he was an adult who had been in society for a very long time, giving him a very charming personality.

And this time around, even when a million dollars had been placed right in front of him, there was no sign of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Whether it was indifference to both fame and fortune or out of his own trust toward Li Rui, this boy was worth it!

“Oh, Brother Lei, I may need your help with looking for the Celestial Master in Dragon Tiger Mountain.”

Ever since knowing that Wang Lei was also an Awakener, Li Rui’s confidence in the Celestial Master had greatly increased.

If the Celestial Master was someone that Brother Lei had found, then it wouldn’t be a scam, right?

Li Rui thought of the times that he had brought Li Wei all over the world like a blind mouse and realized the importance of having connections.

Without someone leading the way, normal peasants like them would never be able to do the same!

“Don’t worry about that. Not only is that master an expert in dealing with these ‘dirty things’, but he is also known for producing elixirs. With his help in treating Li Wei, I’m sure she’ll get better in no time.”

“I really can’t thank you enough for this, Brother Lei. If there’s anything that you need from me in the future, just let me know.”

Li Rui firmly stared at Wang Lei with his eyes filled with gratitude.

“Hahaha, Li Wei is like my little sister. I’m just trying to look out for her as her brother; don’t worry about it.”

“Then, when will we be able to pay a visit to this Celestial Master? To be honest, Li Wei may not be able to wait for long.”

Li Rui showed a rare trace of anxiety and impatiently asked.

“Her condition is deteriorating that quickly? Wasn’t it only recently that I brought you the Ginseng and nutrient fluids?”

“She tried it already, but the effects…”

Wang Lei’s eyebrows were now in a knot and he was anxiously pacing back and forth.

“If it’s possible, we can reach out to him, no matter what it takes!”

Li Rui tried prompting as he was grabbing onto his only life-saving straw. He already couldn’t wait any longer!

But Wang Lei’s reply was a bitter smile as he shook his head. “That’s not possible. This Celestial Master is currently not on Earth.”

“Not on Earth? Then where is he?”

Li Rui was shocked and in disbelief.

He was known as a Celestial Master, so did this mean he could even fly to the moon?

A sharp light flashed through Wang Lei’s eyes and he sonorously spat out four words, “The Secret Realm of Kunlun!”

…

Li Rui was in the back seat of a specially modified car where it was so spacious that he could fully stretch both of his legs.

But at this moment, he was not in the mood to enjoy the car that had been exclusively prepared for him.

He stared at the lights outside the window, lost in thoughts.

He had received too much information in a day that had completely changed his life perspective.

Upon entering into this world with the system, Li Rui did actually think that he was the ‘chosen one’.

The usual scripts that were written should be that he would kill whoever came his way and that he would fight his way to victory, right?

Li Rui couldn’t help but complain about it.

Grrrr~ Grrrr~

His stomach’s ‘scream’ called him back to reality.

He couldn’t help but roll his eyes. His stomach had been rebelling against him since just now!

He looked at the time and it was already past nine. There was still an hour’s journey left to his house. He thought of Li Wei’s sad face and decided to hold it in. He would just have to stir up something when he was home.

But about half an hour later, Li Rui noticed that something wasn’t right.

The hunger in his stomach was escalating and rapidly spreading. There was a constant sour taste in his mouth!

It seemed like there was a fire burning in his stomach, and the acid from his stomach kept going up to his throat.

Bubbling sounds were coming out of his stomach and Li Rui even suspected that his stomach was already digesting itself!

It was as if he had been starving for an entire three days. A glow appeared in his eyes and he even had the urge to tear down the leather seat just to eat it.

“Brother Liu, is there anything to eat in this car?”

Li Rui held onto his stomach and weakly asked the driver in front.

“Oh, are you hungry? I only have two Snickers bars with me. If it’s too dry, there are bottles of water in the fridge.”

Brother Liu was focused on the road and passed two bars of Snickers to the back without turning around.

Li Rui eagerly tore open the packet and took a bite. He immediately swallowed it without even chewing.

He then opened the fridge in the backseat, but as he saw the contents in it, his face darkened and he slowly closed it.

F**k! There was only mineral water!

Was he supposed to have Evian for dinner?

“Brother Liu, could you please find the nearest buffet? I’m a little hungry.”

After swallowing the snickers bars, his stomach had been slightly comforted.

However, as a frugal young man, he instinctively chose to have a buffet at such a critical moment.

He could eat an entire cow on his own!

If he were to eat at a normal restaurant now, how much would that cost him?

Brother Lei had indeed given him a million, on top of another few hundred thousand as a reward from the match!

But it may also cost him a bomb if he manages to find the Celestial Master, so he has to save up as much as possible.

Brother Liu was a little confused but didn’t ask any other questions, immediately bringing him to the closest buffet restaurant.

“Brother Liu, you can head back now. I will get a cab home myself after I’m done.”

Li Rui exited the car and quickly went into the restaurant.

Brother Liu who had been left behind was dumbfounded. He tried to stop him, but before he could say anything, Li Rui’s figure had already disappeared into the restaurant.

Forget it. Boss had only said to give him a ride and hadn’t said that he had to send him to his doorsteps, so he might as well go home and rest.

The car quickly drove away and disappeared into the traffic.

On the other hand, Li Rui was already sitting at a table with a grieving face.

This buffet cost about 300 per person!

This was daylight robbery!

“Sir, what would you like to have?”

A chubby-looking lady came with the menu and attentively stood next to Li Rui. There was a pink glow in her eyes, and even her voice was as soft as cotton.

“Give me one of everything on this menu!”

Li Rui urgently said while swallowing his saliva.

The burning feeling in his stomach was starting to spread again!

The smile on the lady stiffened but she still tried to maintain it. “Sir, are you sure? We will have to charge you if you can’t finish it.”

“I’m sure! Hurry up, I’m hungry.”

Li Rui was nodding his head like a woodpecker. He poured himself a cup of tea to wash away the acid in his stomach.

The waitress no longer tried to warn him and silently walked away.

In less than two minutes, the freshly prepared cold dishes were served.

“This is Japanese-styled cold beef.”

“Minced garlic chicken.”

“Stewed Native Chicken.”

…

“The other dishes are still being prepared, please enjoy.”

These four cold dishes had already filled up the entire table. The plates had to be stacked up on top of one another, and there was no space left for anything else.
