Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

Chapter 142 Heading to the Lu Family

However, he quickly came to his senses.

Since the other party didn't want to join, he wouldn't beg them to join. After all, theoretically, he had already repaid the debt of saving his life. Moreover, the fact that the other party left with the Lu family already tainted his reputation in his mind.

The Federation has many factions, and Lin Chenglie belongs to the populist faction. In his eyes, Meng Li should also belong to his faction, so he still has some goodwill towards Meng Li.

Unfortunately, Meng Li not only did not join the Federation this time, but also left with Lu Chenyao. Whatever the reason, in Lin Chenglie's eyes, this was obviously a sign that he could not resist temptation and was willing to fall into depravity.

As for a detailed investigation into the reasons, there's no need for that. What kind of status does he have that he would even glance at Meng Li? She should be grateful beyond words. If he hadn't saved Lin Ruotong once, what does it matter if he's an Awakened? As long as he's still within the Federation's territory, he has to serve the Federation.

Meng Li, of course, had no idea that he had just missed a "great opportunity".

He had already arrived at the Lu family's residence.

Nothing unexpected happened on the way.

Just as Lu Chenyao had said, after they drove out, the number of zombies chasing them decreased significantly. If it weren't for the traffic jams that forced them to take detours, they probably could have reached the Lu family in just over ten minutes.

Beyond the Lu family's defensive line, which was even more exaggerated than a military camp, appeared before Meng Li a massive city covering dozens of acres.

The vehicle passed through several checkpoints and continued along the road within the estate until it stopped in front of a villa.

"Brother Meng, this is my home."

"Our Lu family has nine branches, and each branch occupies a piece of land."

Seeing the slight doubt in Meng Li's eyes, Lu Chenyao took the initiative to explain.

As Lu Chenyao stepped inside.

"Young Master, welcome home."

A familiar feeling, a familiar taste.

Meng Li even felt like she was back in the Superpower Empire.

"Hello, come here quickly, let me see if you've gained weight."

Seemingly, once he was home and relaxed, Lu Chenyao instantly transformed from a wealthy young master into a purebred Isp.

Moreover, he did not forget Meng Li.

"This is Meng Li, my savior. Treat him the same way you treated me."

"Yes."

Looking at the delicate maidservant who was leaning towards him, Meng Li sighed softly.

If it were before, he might have been somewhat tempted.

But now, all he can say is that it's nothing special.

It seems that men need to experience more temptations; the more temptations they have, the harder it is for them to become smitten.

"No need for that. Just arrange a place for me to rest."

"Young Master, this..."

Seeing Meng Li's direct refusal, the maid subconsciously looked at Lu Chenyao.

"What are you standing there for? Just do whatever my brother says."

"Yes, please bring it to me."

Watching Meng Li's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs.

Lu Chenyao immediately became even more unrestrained.

The missions he participated in before, though not easy, were easily accomplished thanks to his wealth. But this time was different; if it weren't for Meng Li, he would probably be dead by now.

Now that he can finally relax, he feels an urgent need to vent.

However, as he touched the delicate body in his arms, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"As expected, I was just assuming things. How could someone with this kind of strength have been an ordinary person before... It seems I need to have a serious talk with my dad. It's rare to see someone with such a powerful backer."

You should know that the maids in his household were all carefully selected from various places, and they were definitely one in a hundred.

When a girl of this caliber approaches you, unless the other person is gay, you should at least feel some emotional fluctuation.

But Meng Li is different.

It wasn't disgust, nor was it pretense; rather, it was a calmness that came from having seen it all before.

To be honest, even he couldn't reach that level.

And that means trouble.

Bribing them with cheap goods is definitely not going to work; this time, a huge financial loss is unavoidable.

However, he quickly put the thought out of his mind.

"I've brought the person back anyway, let the old man have his headaches."

As he was thinking, he suddenly lunged to the side, and instantly, accompanied by bursts of sweet shouts, a joyful atmosphere filled the air.

Meanwhile, Meng Li had already randomly chosen a guest room to stay in.

To be honest, he wouldn't mind taking a break.

Unfortunately, such ordinary and common women are no longer to his aesthetic sensibilities; they are one in a hundred.

...more like one in ten thousand.

Lu Chenyao's parents were not present.

Meng Li knew from their previous conversation that his mother had passed away from illness a few years ago, and his father was away handling business.

As the head of a branch of the Lu family, he already had many things to do, not to mention the current chaotic situation, so his father naturally couldn't stay idle.

That's why no one has bothered Meng Li.

And before we knew it, it was evening.

After finishing the lavish dinner at the Lu family's house.

At this moment, Meng Li was browsing team information on her phone.

That special world is very dangerous. After thinking it over, Meng Li decided to wait until he reached A-level before going there. After all, he was only one step away from A-level. If he could finish the battle quickly, he should be able to break through in a few days. There was no need to rush to the special world.

You won't get much in return, and you'll have wasted a precious opportunity.

However, after opening the team interface, Meng Li immediately discovered an unexpected problem.

The team-up page is completely empty.

After checking, Meng Li discovered that the reason for this situation was quite simple: the Gate of Infinity had temporarily suspended new recruitment.

It seems to be related to the monsters that appeared in the Federation.

However, no official explanation was given, and Meng Li didn't care much about the specifics; he only knew that he was completely at a loss.

Killing zombies doesn't grant any system rewards, and given his current physical strength, he won't gain much in terms of physical attributes.

They want to get in but don't have a suitable target.

Now only the special world remains as a path, but this choice is fraught with danger.

"Do we really have to go in now?"

Meng Li hesitated.

He didn't intend to stay in the Federation any longer. After all, time was running out, and the deteriorating situation spoke volumes. Thinking of the ancient gods and their malice toward the Gate of Infinity, all he wanted now was to become stronger, strong enough that no one could threaten his survival.

Just as Meng Li was weighing her options...

"Knock knock knock".

"Brother Meng, my father is back. Do you want to go see him?"

Then he added another sentence.

"It's alright if you don't see me. I can take you to the family treasury to choose something tomorrow. However, my Lu family has connections in all walks of life. If you have any worldly needs, you can talk to my father. Our family will help you unconditionally."

After saying that, he didn't say anything more, but waited quietly for Meng Li to reply.

Upon hearing his words, Meng Li's heart stirred.
