Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1142 576: The One and Only Puluo State (2)

The beautiful woman seemed to notice Yu Yaoming's gaze and smiled at him.

Yu Yaoming lowered his head in embarrassment.

Is she greeting me?

How could that be? She doesn't know me, my appearance is so ordinary, how could she be interested in me?

Maybe it's because of my talent, could she sense the aura of wisdom I have?

Perhaps that's really the case...

Yu Yaoming raised his head again, with a hint of confidence and anticipation in his eyes; he still believed in the power of wisdom.

He saw this talented socialite arrive at a steamed bun stall.

She ate a full six baskets of buns in less than two minutes.

Not small baskets, but large ones.

Yu Yaoming's mouth hung open, and from that moment, for the next ten minutes, it never closed.

During this time, a dragonfly flew into Yu Yaoming's mouth, yet his mouth still did not close.

After she was full, the socialite wiped the oil off her mouth, walked gracefully into a nearby jewelry store.

Looking from the jewelry store's window, the socialite swung the book in her hand and shattered the display window glass.

A burly man came to seize the socialite, and she swung the book in her hand, knocking the man from the doorway to outside; his cheekbones collapsed, and his face became distorted, lying flat on the ground, uncertain whether dead or alive.

The socialite pulled out a burlap sack from her cheongsam, scooped the jewelry from the counter into the sack, threw it over her shoulder, and walked out of the jewelry store.

Six burly men chased out from the jewelry store, and the young woman swung the book in her hand and began to fight them.

Boss Lu sighed: "Using a book as a shield can block most weapon attacks,

especially a hardcover book like this; using one corner to smash onto a head can directly pierce through the skull, look, that man's brains are already out,

books can also be dismantled, with each page torn out serving as a sharp blade, the sharpness of paper is astounding, see, that man's throat has been slit,

and poison can be hidden between the pages, used to secretly attack enemies as the book opens and closes, see that man, his eyes are bleeding, he's already poisoned,

Do you see, this is the power of books, this is the power of wisdom!"

While speaking, the socialite had already floored these six big men and continued to run wildly in the street.

With Yu Yaoming's observations, at least three of these six men were already dead.

An elderly, frail man chased after the socialite, smoking furiously from a pipe, and spewed a cloud of smoke towards her.

Fire ignited on the socialite's body; she had a technique that could protect herself but not her clothes, leaving her cheongsam completely burnt.

Not much caring about the burnt cheongsam, she felt sorry for the torn sack.

Naked, she picked up a few pieces of jewelry from the ground and continued to run.

The old man continued the chase with the pipe.

Little Fatty Qin came from the street corner, asked about the situation, and summoned a few people to block the woman.

Professor Yu Yaoming was also a ruthless person; he had killed someone at an academic exchange!

Yet for some reason now, his mouth just wouldn't close, and he pointed at the robbed jewelry store, asking Boss Lu: "Muh muh, yeah yeah, yeah!"

Boss Lu nodded: "That's how it is in Puluo State."

"Oh, yeah yeah, yeah yeah?"

"Don't worry; even if that woman is caught, she might not be beaten to death; she may be sent to the Book Residence to pay off debts or possibly be taken in by someone as support due to her excellent skills."

"Oh yeah, ha, ha, yeah?"

"There is no law in Puluo State."

"Muhu, myaya~"

Boss Lu sighed: "Because the Lord of Puluo likes Puluo State to be like this."

...

"What do you call your Puluo State?" Li Banfeng held a record book as he interrogated Goncharova. From a legal standpoint, the Birch Tree Hermit Society became the most important breakthrough in investigating Du Wenming because the Dark Star Bureau had already captured a high-ranking member.

Goncharova cooperated well: "In our country, there is a place called the Land of Slumber that resembles Puluo State somewhat; I grew up in the Land of Slumber."

"Did you obtain your power from the Land of Slumber too?"

Goncharova shook her head: "I don't know the source of the power. According to the Belloborg people, all descendants of Chernoborg carry ignoble blood; it's a curse in our destiny."

Li Banfeng didn't understand: "What do Belloborg and Chernoborg mean?"

Goncharova's Huan Country language was very poor, making it hard for her to express herself; Shen Jingye suggested Li Banfeng call for a translator, but Li Banfeng refused.

Since the Ninth Room incident happened, Li Banfeng no longer easily trusted translations; he preferred listening to Goncharova's awkward descriptions.

"In the Land of Slumber, there live two groups of people, one is the Belloborg family of the Light God, their blood symbolizes happiness and kindness, the other is the descendants of Chernoborg, which is us, our blood symbolizes disaster and disease."

Li Banfeng pondered for a moment: "The family of the Light God are Lavsha people, the family of the Dark God are the native people of the Land of Slumber, is that correct."

Goncharova nodded: "You can understand it that way, all descendants of Chernoborg must learn to repent from the day they learn to speak, repent for their blood,

once we reach the age of ten, our repentance must go beyond words to actions, we follow our parents to the coldest and harshest places, performing the most arduous labor, only by dying can we atone for our sins."
