Four days before the start of school, Wu Lai and Helen returned to the Green Building. After visiting Rini, Wu Lai learned from Rini that the telescope had been approved for sale by the Senate and the Supreme Noble Conference. Wu Lai immediately began to promote it...

Whether in the past or now, Woolley's concept of luxury is that it is a non-essential item that exceeds the needs of people's survival and development and is unique, scarce, and rare.

As things stand, both the telescope and the bicycle fit this concept very well.

So, Woolley doesn't mind at all including binoculars and bicycles as luxury goods.

After finalizing the price of the bicycle at 188 gold coins, Wu Lai raised the price of the telescope to a staggering 688 gold coins. Moreover, this 688 was six times the price of the civilian version and ten times the price of the military version, 1,200 gold coins, not a penny less.

This sounds exaggerated, but after listening to Wu Lai's explanation, no one would think it is expensive.

Wu Lai said: "Don't be fooled by the gold plating on its surface. That is just an appearance. Compared with its magical effects, this gold is worthless. What allows you to have a god-like vision is its front and back lenses. These lenses are made of the purest crystal. This purest crystal can only be excavated from the most ancient glaciers. If you don't believe it, go and dig it yourself..."

Except for a few people who knew the truth, no one would doubt that there were snow-capped mountains, glaciers and crystal deposits in the Assyrian territory, but no one had ever seen "such pure crystal".

Think about it again, the gold-plated body, the owner's name and family crest engraved exclusively, the god-like vision, and most importantly, Wu Lai said that the first batch will only have 168 units. When will the next batch be available? It's hard to say, maybe a year, maybe five years, who can say for sure.

One hundred and sixty-eight crosses were scattered throughout the city-states of Assyria, with an average of less than ten crosses per city-state...

It sounds like this thing can be owned as a family collection.

In just two days, a total of four noble families, including the Koch family represented by Loli, divided up the sales rights of civilian telescopes - this was exactly what Woolley expected.

However, the realization of the expectation was possible so quickly thanks to Loli. Loli is indeed the best of the new generation of the Kochi family. Although she is young and has just arrived in Assyria not long ago, she has established her own aristocratic social circle with the connections of the Kochi family and her extraordinary business skills. The telescope is just one of them. Twenty thousand sets of "Level" game chess pieces, which cost six gold coins a set, were distributed by her the day after they were delivered to Assyria. She also kept yelling for Wu Laiduo to get some more.

Not long after the school started, a craze for telescopes swept the country. The popularity was so high that even Wu Lai felt it was exaggerated - in one city-state, the price of one telescope had been raised to 1,200 gold coins per unit.

"Why is it so crazy?" Wu Lai couldn't help but ask Loli.

"Hehe, there's still something you don't understand?" Loli laughed and explained, "You think your price is high, but those families don't think so. Telescopes have never appeared on the mainland. Being the first to get it can prove a lot of things, such as financial resources, power ranking, connections, vision, and decisiveness..."

"Stop it." Wu Lai waved his hand quickly, "It's just buying something, who would believe you if you said so much."

"Believe it or not, I'm telling you this by the way, you can't be partial. It was you who gave Helen the telescope, I want one too." Loli said with a pout.

"Why should I give it to you? Don't you know that the price has risen to thousands now?" Wu Lai joked. It's not that he was reluctant to give it away, he really didn't have any. He had barely collected 200 six-fold aircraft these days, one for Lini and one for Helen. He also sent ten to the Temple, the Senate, and the Supreme Noble Council each according to Lini's suggestion. Although the remaining 168 aircraft were still in his hands, the shares had been divided up by four noble families including the Koch family. The reason why they were still kept in the Green Building was just waiting for the buyer to provide the name and family emblem and then seal it before they could be shipped.

Seeing that the loli's mouth was pouting higher and higher, Wu Lai quickly explained and made a wish, which made this difficult girl smile.

"Sister Helen is practicing fighting skills in the training hall. Do you want to go too?" A hint of childish cunning flashed across the corners of Loli's mouth.

"Why should I go? I'm going to the Central Square to see the Fountain of Fortune, and pray a little, hoping to get more inspiration from God." Wu Lai said with a smile. He knew very well that Helen was not practicing martial arts, but went to the Central Square to ride a bicycle early in the morning. The spaciousness of the Central Square was far beyond that of the White Stone Building, and Helen could undoubtedly enjoy riding more there.

Originally, Wu Lai wanted to go with them. School would start tomorrow, and Helen had no reason to live in the Green Building anymore. Even Wu Lai could no longer be as casual as before - firstly, he really had no reason to stay outside the college, and secondly, he promised Lini to complete his courses well and concentrate on preparing for the competition.

If Fox hadn't been delayed by something, Woolley would have been relaxing with Helen in the central square by now.

"If there's nothing else, I have to leave now." Wu Lai said to Loli.

"I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll go with you." Loli said.

"No, I can go alone and will be back soon. I have to prepare for school tomorrow." Wu Lai evaded the question.

"Really?" Loli rolled her eyes at him, "Sister Ye Jianwu is also in the central square."

"Oh? Really?"

"Of course, Wuleglindo, do you think I don't know that Sister Helen is here too? Anyway, if you don't take me with you today, I can go alone. Don't blame me for spoiling your fun then." Loli curled her lips and said, "You can try it. Humph, I don't have a share in the telescope or the bicycle. In the eyes of the Koch family, you are my fiancé. I came to contact..."

"Stop! Don't say anymore. Okay, I'll take you there." After Wu Lai said that, he couldn't help but sighed, thinking to himself, you've already ruined my fun, so please don't continue.

…

Helen and Ye Renwu were surrounded by people, not just onlookers, but people were approaching and blocking them with a threatening and hostage-like attitude.

A gorgeous woman like Helen would be the center of attention wherever she goes, not to mention that there is also Yaba Dance, who is only slightly inferior to her in appearance but many times more charming than her. Of course, the bicycle is also a killer weapon to attract fans.

Therefore, just after the two of them arrived at the central square for a while, they became the most attractive scenery.

But this is not necessarily a good thing. Soon, Helen and Ye Renwu were targeted by a group of people, a group of people who had a bad reputation both inside and outside the city of Assyria. To be more precise, they were a group of playboys.

In the city of Assyria, they were the only ones who had the chance to provoke others, because the leader of this group of playboys was Khufu, Khufu Duncan.

Khufu believed that he was the most qualified person to dominate the city of Assyria and even the Assyrian territory, because his father was the commander of the First Legion, Weihuo Duncan, and his grandfather was the chief of the Senate, Qiyuan Duncan.

Khufu is the youngest son of Weihuo. Although he is not liked by his grandfather and father because of his stubbornness and stupidity, his status is there and no one is willing to provoke him - no matter how disliked they are, the Duncan family is famous for being ruthless and protective of their children.

Therefore, in the ten years since Khufu started to do nothing at the age of twelve, apart from his own trips and bumps and being beaten by his father and grandfather, he had never been hurt by anyone...

"What's your name?" Khufu approached Helen with a smile, and glanced at Night Blade Dance, "And you, what's your name?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Helen turned her face away, her brows full of disgust, but this was normal. Except for those who were willing to flatter Khufu, no one was happy to see this fat face full of greasy acne.

"Wow, you are quite brave. Do you know who my father is? Do you know who my grandfather is?" Khufu asked with a sneer.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Helen neither said a word nor moved. She was surrounded from all sides and it was not easy for her to leave.

"We don't care about this." Ye Renwu's face darkened. "Please move aside. We are leaving."

"Leave? No..." Khufu laughed, and his companions around him also laughed.

"We are students of the Citizen Academy, so please respect yourself." Ye Renwu frowned and said.

"Self-respect?" Khufu's face fell. "I have never been good at this since I was a child! If you two want to leave today, you can go with me for a drink. If you beat me in drinking, I will let you two go back to the Citizens Academy."

"Yeah, go drink with Khufu. He can't drink much." The dude next to him started to make fun of him.

A cold light flashed in Ye Renwu's eyes: "If you continue to pester me, you will definitely pay the price!"

"Night Blade Dance." Helen shouted, and glanced at Khufu, "If you are of noble status, there is no need to bring shame to your family."

As Khufu saw more and more people gathering around him, the joy in his heart grew even greater, so he simply raised his right arm and said, "Your Excellency, of course I am noble, but my father is..." He had just said half of his words when he was interrupted by a voice coming from outside the circle.

"You are smearing the word 'dignified'! You are smearing the dignity of citizens!"

Khufu was stunned, and after that, Helen and Ye Renwu were suddenly happy because they heard that the person who interrupted Khufu was Wu Lai.

Wu Lai walked over from the circle of people, glanced at Khufu, then reached out to push away the guy blocking the front of Helen's car. He took a step forward, and stretched out his right palm like lightning, pressing and pushing on Khufu's chest. The guy, who was twice as big as him, took several steps back. If the two people next to him had not been quick to catch him, he would have fallen on his butt.

Seeing this scene, all the onlookers who knew what kind of person Khufu was gasped.

Helen and Ye Jianwu felt a warm feeling in their hearts at the same time.

"Get out!" Wu Lai's right arm swept across all the dandies who were surrounding Helen and Ye Renwu, domineeringly and decisively.

The playboys did not retreat, but the onlookers involuntarily moved away a little.

"Who are you?" Khufu raised his chin and stared at Wu Lai.

"Who do you care who I am?" Wu Lai glared at Khufu, but he didn't stop. He pushed all the guys who were blocking him away, and they didn't say a word. Why? They were not sure where Wu Lai came from, but they thought that since he dared to push Khufu, he must be someone who was not as good as Khufu. If that was the case, they should retreat a little.

"Do you know who I am?" Khufu tilted his head.

"Stop it, don't talk about that useless thing!" Wu Lai smiled coldly and asked back, "You blocked my fiancée with bad intentions. I'm giving you a chance now. Either get out or let me beat you up."

"Huh?" Khufu blinked, a little confused. He thought to himself, this is really new. There are actually people in the Assyrian city who want to beat me up?
