Dad, it's time to cash out...

"Fourth Young Master!"

"Greetings, Fourth Young Master!"

The Star Martial Artists guarding the warehouse doors respectfully bowed one after another.

Lu Xiaobai nodded. He passed through several gates guarded by high-tech weapons and finally arrived smoothly inside the warehouse.

"Time for a crazy shopping spree..."

Lu Xiaobai chuckled. He opened the oversized backpack he had brought and frantically started stuffing it with potions.

"Stamina recovery potions, these are good stuff. Gotta stock up on more of these!"

"Berserk potions, muscle enhancement potions, brain cell activation potions, I need them all..."

"The daily essential all-around nutrient fluids, taking all of them!"

"Cell regeneration potions..."

He swept through the aisles, stuffing all sorts of rare potions into his bag like a bandit raiding a town...

Soon,

Lu Xiaobai had stuffed his massive backpack to the brim. He even had two vials of potion dangling from his mouth.

"F-Fourth Young Master."

The Star Martial Artist guards at the door looked at his appearance, their faces twitching slightly.

Seriously, bro, isn't this a bit too savage...

He used to come and grab potions before, but it had never been this outrageous...

With the potions in his mouth, Lu Xiaobai mumbled a few unintelligible words and left. Nobody knew what he actually said.

"Should we report this to the store manager?"

One person whispered.

"Report what?"

Another person curled his lips and said, "This is the Lu family's property to begin with. He could empty the entire warehouse and it would be fine."

"..."

A hint of envy flickered in the first man's eyes, and he said no more.

"Oh, Young Master, I'm here."

The store manager downstairs, Chen Hua, was slightly taken aback when he saw Lu Xiaobai's state. He quickly hurried over to help carry the bag, smiling obsequiously as he spoke:

"Why didn't anyone help you carry this, Young Master? I'll teach those brats a lesson later!"

"It's fine, I told them not to help."

Lu Xiaobai shook his head and headed straight for the flying vehicle parked outside the store.

Chen Hua followed closely behind, carrying the bag and acting like a devoted servant...

The numerous customers in the store stared at this scene, absolutely dumbfounded. Some even rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating.

That was the manager of the Elixir of Immortality store, one of the big shots in Starlight City. Even the mayor had personally received him many times...

But now, how could such a prominent figure act like a total lapdog...

"Who is that young man? To make Manager Chen lower himself like that."

"It seems the rumors online are true. That guy must be the Fourth Young Master of the Lu family!"

"A direct descendant of the Lu family?! That makes sense..."

The crowd murmured among themselves, and suddenly it didn't seem so surprising anymore.

After all, although Chen Hua had a very high status in Starlight City, he was ultimately just a store manager. The Elixir of Immortality Group had over a hundred thousand stores, which meant there were just as many managers like him. Naturally, they had to desperately suck up to a direct descendant of the Lu family.

"Thanks, Uncle Hua."

Lu Xiaobai tossed all the potions onto the flying vehicle, then sat in the driver's seat and smiled:

"I'll be heading back now."

"Take care, Fourth Young Master!"

Chen Hua said with a face full of smiles, watching the flying vehicle turn into a streak of light and disappear over the horizon...

He turned and walked back into the store, thinking to himself:

"As long as I serve him well, my promotion to a second-class store manager will be just around the corner. This is my golden opportunity, and I must seize it!"

He chuckled, silently fantasizing in his heart.

One had to know, there were hundreds of Elixir of Immortality Group stores on the Ancestral Planet. The fact that Lu Xiaobai was studying at Starlight Middle School was his ultimate stroke of luck!

"Uncle Hua, your sucking up was a bit too exaggerated. You smiled so hard your wrinkles came out."

A playful-looking girl blinked and said with a grin.

Chen Hua glared at her and replied:

"That is the Fourth Young Master of the Lu family. We must have the right attitude!"

"But the Young Master seemed to have a pretty good temper..."

"Whether the Young Master has a good temper or not is his business. What our attitude is like is our business!"

Chen Hua shook his head, then lowered his voice:

"Never mind me, even the manager of a first-class store would have to greet this Young Master with a smiling face, got it?"

"Oh."

The girl lowered her head and didn't argue any further.

"Alright, gather all the staff for a meeting later!"

Chen Hua regained his authoritative demeanor and said flatly:

"There is a problem with our store's service attitude. It seems I need to give you all some proper training again!"

Hearing this, the girl turned around and started gathering the other employees...

Meanwhile,

Lu Xiaobai sat in his flying vehicle, taking inventory of the potions in his backpack, muttering to himself:

"Not bad at all. I grabbed so many potions this time, it should be enough for my recent needs, right?"

He made a rough estimate and figured he had taken at least 500,000 Alliance Credits worth of potions. That was even higher than his living allowance...

This was actually one of his privileges as a direct descendant of the Lu family: he could consume the store's potions as he pleased.

Of course, the potions he took were strictly for personal use and would not be sold. After all, that would be equivalent to stealing business from his own family, which was strictly forbidden by the Lu family...

...

Several days flashed by, and soon it was midnight on February 1st.

"Pops!"

Lu Xiaobai wasn't in a hurry to sleep. Instead, he dialed Lu Xingtian's communicator and waited quietly.

A moment later, the call connected, and Lu Xingtian's holographic image appeared. He said, sounding slightly exhausted:

"What do you want, calling me this late?"

Lu Xiaobai rubbed his hands together and grinned cheekily:

"Pops, time to drop some coins..."

"??"

Lu Xingtian was slightly taken aback, then scolded with a laugh:

"Just for this? Couldn't you come looking for me during the day? Do you really think your old man has nothing to do all day?"

The planet he was on shared the same climate and time zones as the Ancestral Planet, so naturally, it was also midnight over there...

"Uh... I'm about to starve to death over here, aren't I?"

Lu Xiaobai said pitifully.

He was genuinely broke. After all, the class combat test was coming up soon, and he'd have to pay people off afterward...

"Cut the crap!"

Lu Xingtian glared at him and continued:

"I'll transfer your living allowance right away. You never call me on your own initiative normally, you're only proactive when you want money!"

Lu Xiaobai was overjoyed to hear this and muttered:

"If I wasn't proactive about getting money, there'd really be something wrong with my head..."

"..."

Lu Xingtian fell silent for a moment. He actually couldn't argue with that, so he changed the subject:

"Your class combat test is coming up. How are your preparations?"

"I've got it completely in the bag!"

Lu Xiaobai chuckled, looking extremely confident.

"Oh?"

Lu Xingtian's expression shifted slightly, and he smiled:

"If you can really make it into the top ten of your class, I'll double your living allowance next month!"

"Pops, really?"

"Your old man is the Chairman of the Human Council, for crying out loud. Would I go back on my word?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai's eyes instantly lit up. Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked tentatively:

"By the way, Pops, do you mind if I use some special methods?"
