Chapter 195 The Pharmaceutical Club’s Stronghold
After hearing that Lu Yu’s next plan was to continue expanding their strongholds, Yun Zirou and Su Qing couldn’t help but become excited.
“Are we going to occupy the next one so soon? Which one are we going to occupy this time?”
Yun Zirou asked excitedly. She was already somewhat impatient.
Su Qing also looked at Lu Yu with antic.i.p.ation.
Lu Yu took out his phone and took out the information the members of their club had found.
“From here to the east, a large piece of open land exists. The soil there is fertile, and the spiritual energy there is abundant. It is a good place to grow spiritual herbs, being one of the main strongholds of the Pharmaceutical Club.”
“We will set off tomorrow and take down that stronghold!”
Lu Yu spoke as he put away his phone and walked toward the center of the mine.
Yun Zirou followed beside him. She was so excited that she could not hide the smile on her face.
“After we take down the stronghold of the Pharmaceutical Club, our Featherwing Club’s profits will be even higher. By that time, our members can quickly increase their strength.”
“That’s right. Just this big mining stronghold in the wild forest is enough for our club to develop rapidly. Even so, the scale of the wild forest’s secret realm is just at an intermediate level. When we reach a truly large-scale secret realm, the stronghold there will be even more attractive!”
Su Qing was excited as well, looking forward to a beautiful future.
“Take it slow, one step at a time. Sooner or later, all the strongholds in these secret realms will belong to the Featherwing Club!”
The three of them continued walking forward. In the middle of the mine stood a two-story-tall villa.
Lu Yu and the other two walked quickly to the villa. Although this villa could not compare to the one in Lu Yu’s university district, the overall build was already pretty good.
Obviously, this was the residence that once belonged to Yan Wei.
It seemed he had embezzled a ton of this mine’s profits to build this villa. On the other hand, the other miners lived in simple wooden houses.
Lin Kang stood at the entrance of the villa. When he saw Lu Yu coming over, he quickly walked over.
“I have already arranged accommodations for the club members. This villa is specially reserved for the President.”
Lu Yu raised his head and glanced at the villa before nodding slightly. “Alright, then I’ll stay here tonight.”
“Oh right, have you changed all the things inside the villa?”
Lin Kang hurriedly said, “Of course. The quilts and mattresses in the bedroom are all new. The old ones have been thrown away.”
“Are there any other club members in this mine? Are there still people from the Weapon Refining Club?”
Lin Kang answered, “The members of the Weapon Refining club have already been cleared out, and our club members are already on their way here. We can accommodate about 30 people here.”
Lu Yu knew that 30 people weren’t a lot for this big mine. It was small relative to its size.
It would need at least 100-200 people to be enough.
However, fewer than 200 people were in the Featherwing Club, and not all of them could come here to mine.
“Lin Kang, there must be others who want to join our club recently, right?”
Lin Kang nodded repeatedly. “Of course, especially the freshmen this year. They didn’t join at first, but now they all regret it and are eager to join. My mailbox is already filled with applications.”
Lin Kang didn’t dare to let others join the Featherwing Club without Lu Yu’s approval.
Lu Yu nodded slightly and said, “Since there are people who want to join, let them in.”
Yun Zirou was a little puzzled. “When we set up the club, we were targeted by the others, and these people didn’t want to come over to share our burden. Now that we have gained something substantial, how can we let them in?”
Su Qing looked at Lu Yu, hoping that he would give an explanation.
Lu Yu looked at Yun Zirou and said, “First of all, I’m the President, and Lin Kang is only carrying out my orders. Secondly, of course, I won’t let those people join easily.”
“I’ve decided to give them a probation period and let them work in these strongholds for half a year. If they perform well and are diligent, I’ll officially give them a chance to join the Featherwing Club.”
Lu Yu’s decision made Lin Kang nod his head heavily. “This is a good idea. If they joined the Featherwing Club just to enjoy our benefits, they definitely wouldn’t work wholeheartedly for the club.”
“Now that they have this prerequisite, those joining purely to enjoy our profits will probably back off.”
Lin Kang immediately understood and decided to follow Lu Yu’s order.
Yun Zirou and Su Qing also nodded in agreement. “This is a good idea. We definitely can’t let them join easily. Otherwise, the other members who have gone through thick and thin will feel unbalanced.”
Lu Yu walked into the villa, followed closely by Yun Zirou and Su Qing.
Next, Lu Yu would occupy the strongholds one by one, starting to explore and harvest all kinds of materials.
These strongholds were all major strongholds. Therefore, Lu Yu had to increase the human resources of his club. Otherwise, it would be useless even if he got all these strongholds without a workforce to work them.
Lu Yu sat on the sofa in the living room and glanced around, finding the decoration here luxurious.
Whether the chair or the table, they were all made of gold- rock jade or pure gold.
There were also all kinds of gemstones inlaid on the walls, emitting dazzling light.
As expected, a villa in the mining area had to have dozens of types of gemstones everywhere.
Lu Yu looked at Lin Kang and said, “Right, since we are a formal club, let’s produce some club badges to authenticate our ident.i.ties.”
Whenever Lu Yu met a club member, he really couldn’t tell whether they were from his club or not. To better identify his own people in the future, it was necessary to make badges.
Lin Kang immediately got up and walked out of the villa. He began to busy himself with Lu Yu’s orders.
After Lu Yu sat on the sofa for a while, he went to his bedroom to rest.
As night fell, the surrounding mines were still lit brightly.
Some members of the Featherwing Club were still working overtime at night to earn more credits.
However, the wild forest wasn’t very peaceful tonight.
The destruction of the Weapon Refining Club’s stronghold made the other clubs nervous. They were all afraid that they would be next.
Early the following day, after Lu Yu woke up, he fully armed himself and prepared to set off for the next stronghold.
Yun Zirou and Su Qing also woke up early to set off together with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu had laid out a plan. The three would lead the charge while the other Featherwing Club members would follow.
First, Lu Yu would break through the Pharmaceutical Club stronghold’s defense. After defeating the local stronghold’s captain, the Featherwing Club members would come over and take over the stronghold.
Lu Yu trekked through the dense jungle and complex terrain.
Very soon, the trees around him started to lessen, and a large open s.p.a.ce emerged.
The surrounding air became moist, and there was a fresh smell of soil.
“That place is the Pharmaceutical Club base. I heard that the land here has unusually fertile soil. The vegetation planted here is filled with spiritual energy.”
